High-level martial arts: Starting with a heart of steel, stats crush everything.

"Inner sect, am I now considered a human martial artist or an earth martial artist?"

Cheng Fei herself was confused. It seemed that this situation had never occurred since the birth of martial artists.

"Let's ask those seniors; they might know what's going on..."

...

At the same time, Chen Mo and his two companions had already reached the edge of the Sea of ​​End.

"You must be very careful, the water in the Sea of ​​the End is extremely corrosive."

Kui Jiuling landed on the beach with Chen Mo and Song Bin, looking at the seawater constantly lapping against the black sand and said...

"This kind of corrosion is not corrosion of the physical body, but corrosion of your cultivation."

"Once you enter the sea, your spiritual level will gradually decline. Eventually, you will become an ordinary person and be completely swallowed by the sea."

"Even getting wet in this seawater will cause your cultivation level to drop, though not by much, but it's equivalent to three to five years of arduous training."

Chen Mo and Song Bin exchanged a glance. They felt that the vocabulary Kui Jiuling used when speaking was somewhat... archaic.

What cultivation level? Ascetic training? It sounds like a term used by those who cultivate immortality.

"Moreover, the deeper one goes into the Sea of ​​the End, the more severe the corrosive effect of the seawater on cultivation and realm becomes."

"So be extremely careful, if you get this kind of seawater on your skin, you must cut that piece of flesh off immediately."

"Crossing the Sea of ​​the End is very dangerous, so be prepared."

After giving the two final instructions, Kui Jiuling's blood and qi surged, and he flew with Chen Mo and Song Bin toward the vicinity of the Ten Kings Hall, which was guarded by the old dean.

None of the three were moving very fast, or rather, Kui Jiuling and Song Bin were coordinating with Chen Mo's speed.

The entire End Sea is exceptionally vast, even wider than the Pacific Ocean.

It should be said that the area of ​​the abyss is much larger than that of the blue planet, roughly three times the size of the blue planet according to preliminary estimates.

The population is similar to that of Earth, and they are mostly concentrated in the deep and middle abysses.

A few hours later, Chen Mo could vaguely see a small black dot.

The small black dot rapidly enlarged, and finally a small island, not too large, appeared before the three of them.

A thin, wiry figure sat on a huge rock on the island, looking completely harmless.

"When you meet Grandpa Ying, you can't be as unruly as you are when you're with me. People from Grandpa Ying's generation are very particular about etiquette."

Kui Jiuling tensed up the moment he saw that figure, and all the muscles in his body began to tighten.

"It can't be that bad..."

Upon hearing what Kui Jiuling said, Chen Mo and Song Bin both began to tense up.

The three of them soon landed on the small island, the black sand and gravel under their feet making a crunching sound.

"Xiao Kui, do you know the consequences of abandoning your post?"

The thin, bony figure slowly turned around, his sharp, hawk-like eyes piercing straight into the depths of Kui Jiuling's heart.

"Uncle Ying, I've brought two juniors to meet you."

Kui Jiuling immediately lowered his head, not daring to meet the old dean's gaze.

"This old man doesn't seem like much..."

Chen Mo whispered something in Song Bin's ear, and Kui Jiuling's back was instantly soaked with sweat upon hearing it.

"What did you call me?"

In the blink of an eye, Grandpa Ying appeared beside Chen Mo, his ghostly hand landing on Chen Mo's shoulder.

"No, no, I still have great respect for the former dean."

Chen Mo chuckled and casually grabbed Grandpa Ying's wrist.

The two began to wrestle in place, causing the ground to tremble violently.

The surrounding seawater began to boil, and waves kept crashing against the rough sand and pebbles on the island.

creak!

Chen Mo's shoulder slumped down, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake the old dean's hand that was on his shoulder.

[Suffered crush injury, HP -12 billion]

"Wow, that old man's got some strength..."

A slight expression appeared on the old dean's usually calm face. He looked Chen Mo up and down, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Good lad, it's rare to see someone with such a strong physique at the Demon Subduing Realm."

"And I really like this temperament, unlike Xiao Kui and the others who are so timid and submissive."

"You brat, state your name!"

"Chen Mo!" Chen Mo immediately activated Perfect Steel Blood, Boiling Mode and Disintegration Mode, and entered Blood Flame State.

With the Glass Heart unselectable state activated, Chen Mo used it to break free from the old dean's control.

The giant hydra, while vigorously healing, was ready and unleashed a normal punch with a 100% damage bonus from the Crystal Heart, slamming it hard into the old dean's chest.

boom!

The entire island was blasted flat by this punch, and a fan-shaped vacuum zone appeared in the End Sea behind it.

Kui Jiuling, who was standing to the side, quickly retreated. He felt that Chen Mo might not need the help of the Ten Kings anymore.

Retracting his fist, Chen Mo narrowed his eyes as he looked at the unmoved old dean in front of him.

"That punch... was powerful."

The old dean patted his chest, appearing completely unperturbed.

"Your punch is enough to kill a martial arts master. Who would have thought you're just a Demon Subduing Realm cultivator?"

"Um?"

After the two separated, the old dean's gaze fell on Chen Mo's chest.

"Have you seen the three of them?"

The old dean grabbed with his palm, and a nearly illusory token flew out from Chen Mo's body.

"Of course, the three elders said that if you have any difficulties, you can just come to them."

Chen Mo shook his hand, feeling as if his punch had hit a steel plate, his knuckles still throbbing.

No, that punch would vaporize the steel plate, but the old dean's thin body remained completely unchanged.

"Giving you this means you've also seen the dragon vein."

The old dean rarely showed a smile, and this smile made Kui Jiuling tremble with fear.

"Don't call me old man anymore, just call me Dean Ying or Grandpa Ying."

"I am Ying Tianxing, courtesy name Kuangtu, and I am 4,210 years old. You won't lose out by calling me grandpa."

Although Ying Tianxing's words made sense, Chen Mo still felt that the old man was taking advantage of him.

"Dean Ying, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I've come here today to ask you for help with two things."

The exchange between Chen Mo and Ying Tianxing was that simple; they tested each other's strength and then got straight to the point.

"Tell me, there's nothing this old man can't do these days."

Ying Tianxing's words were quite domineering, and they would have been even more convincing if it weren't for the crisscrossing cracks on his body.

"I want my physical body to shatter and reassemble, fusing all my flesh and blood into one, so that I can break through to the Martial Grandmaster level."

Chen Mo got straight to the point, stating his goal directly.

"But there are always concerns about doing it ourselves. After discussing it with Elder Kui, we decided to ask the Ten Kings for help to complete this step."

"If we can take down one or two of the Ten Kings, the pressure on everyone will be relieved a lot."

"Hmm..." Ying Tianxing's old face twitched. He didn't expect his little grand-disciple to be even more reckless than himself.

This kid really dares to think he can use the Ten Kings of the Abyss as a whetstone.

"Alright, it's been a long time since I've bothered them, so this will be a good opportunity to stretch my muscles."

"Let's talk about the second thing. It would be best if we could do it together."

"The second thing might be a little difficult."

Chen Mo scratched his face, unsure if Dean Ying could help him with this.

"Speak up, what kind of behavior is this, all alluring and hesitant!"

Ying Tianxing's domineering aura was unparalleled, which stirred Chen Mo's heart.

"I want to take the heart and life essence of the Abyss Mother Tree."

Seeing Ying Tianxing's confidence, Chen Mo's last bit of concern disappeared.

"...?"

The old man stared at Chen Mo with a bewildered expression, wondering if something had gone wrong with his grand-disciple's brain.

They actually went to find bad luck with that thing!?
