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

The students who were originally staying at the Grandmaster Academy for exchanges were all sent back to their original Martial Academy.

After Geng Lianhu distributed his arrangements, the disciples of the Grandmaster Academy completed their tasks within three hours.

Martial arts teams typically consist of four or five people, and they are assigned to different regions except for Yanjing and Tibet.

"What should we say? Let's go to Xishan Province."

Gu Feng and the others had already returned to the Grandmaster Academy and were now sitting together discussing where to provide support next.

"I think it's a good idea. Xishan Province is a relatively weak province, and it's also Sister Ma's hometown."

Joseph nodded; he was not familiar with any other places besides Taizhou and Xishan.

"No, let's go to the mountain city."

Ma Wanglin made a decisive decision to send the five people to provide support in the mountain town that was not far from them.

The reason she made this choice was actually very simple: Chen Mo's parents were being taken care of by the Gu family in Yanjing, so there was no need to worry.

However, Chen Mo's older sister, Chen Yi, is currently being kept at the Shancheng Research Center. She promised Chen Mo that she would take good care of his family.

"Um....."

Gu Feng and Joseph were silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, then let's head to the mountain city."

"Sister Ma, you've already achieved the Iron Body, haven't you?"

Gu Feng looked up at Ma Wanglin.

"Yes, I've just formed the Iron Body, and I'm in perfect condition right now."

After Chen Mo left, Ma Wanglin and the others did not slack off at all; on the contrary, they worked even harder.

Thirty-three days have passed since Chen Mo entered the Path of No Return, and everyone has made great progress.

Gu Feng and Yang Zuo have successfully condensed their pulse cores and entered the tenth level of the Core Condensation Realm, while Ma Wanglin and Joseph have condensed their Iron Golden Body and entered the ninth level of the Golden Body Realm.

After equipping Jia Xiu, the Thousand Transformers, Ma Wanglin's combat power approached that of the eleventh-level Vajra Realm.

The speed at which these individuals progressed astonished even Grandmasters like Geng Lianhu. It was possible that the Grandmaster Academy might actually produce three young Grandmasters under the age of twenty.

Joseph was old; he was at most a young man.

They even suspected that Chen Mo's progress was too fast, which was suffocating the three children and caused their previous progress to be so slow.

No one knew that Chen Mo had already become a Grandmaster...

As for He Miao, she has now perfectly mastered Yuumi's hero template and can single-handedly buff the entire team.

"It's settled then. Let's set off immediately to support the mountain city!"

Gu Feng slung his S-grade alloy long rod over his shoulder, took out his phone, and dialed the internal number of the Kunlun Mountain Military Headquarters.

After booking the transport plane an hour later, the group headed towards the landing area inside the Grandmaster Academy.

Ma Wanglin gently patted her chest, and the smoky purple living armor instantly engulfed her body.

The S-grade alloy red-tasseled spear in her hand was also tainted by the void, becoming incredibly ferocious and terrifying.

"Sister Ma, did you bring all the snacks for this armored suit?"

He Miao, who had activated the Yuumi hero template, leaned on He Miao's shoulder and gently poked the Thousand-Changer Jia Xiu on her body.

"Don't worry, I will feed it plenty of flesh and blood every day, it won't devour my life force."

After more than a month, Ma Wanglin had become thoroughly familiar with Jia Xiu's temperament.

This thing isn't picky at all; it'll eat any kind of meat, like having a big dog that looks a little odd.

"I wonder how the captain is doing now. I always feel uneasy when he's not around..."

He Miao sighed. Without Chen Mo as their pillar of strength, their team seemed to have become unremarkable.

Of course, this was just their own feeling; in reality, Chen Mo's team was a household name in the martial arts world.

Four young geniuses, along with a mental genius, could even kill a level 12 Demon Subduing Realm warrior if they joined forces.

They can hold their own against a grandmaster, at least they won't be instantly killed.

"We can't keep relying on Chen Mo. It's not fair to him, and it's not a good thing for us either."

Ma Wanglin shook her head; she couldn't afford to slack off any longer.

To be worthy of Chen Mo, she needs to become a Grandmaster before she turns twenty-five.

I reckon Chen Mo will become a Grandmaster by the end of this year. I'm still too foolish.

"So you've been under this much pressure all this time...?"

Ma Wanglin sighed inwardly. Only after Chen Mo left did she realize that Chen Mo had been carrying the weight of the entire team all along.

Just like they said before, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.

In their team, Chen Mo was the tallest person...

......

"Achoo!"

Chen Mo rubbed his nose and wiped his snot on the golden dragon's mane.

"You little brat..."

Ying Tianxing glared at Chen Mo with a forced smile. Didn't he know that doing this was the same as wiping snot on his face?

"I guess someone's been talking about me, otherwise how could I possibly be sick right now..."

Chen Mo muttered something to himself, then suddenly remembered that he had lost the concept of time since arriving in the middle layer of the abyss.

"Uncle Song, how many days have we been in the Tomb of the Gods?"

"Hmm..." Song Bin recalled for a moment, but the concept of time in the middle layer of the abyss was very vague, and he couldn't remember it very clearly.

"About twenty days?"

"Huh?" Chen Mo was stunned. It felt like only a short while had passed.

"So... I've been down here for over a month now?"

"I don't have much time left, I have to go back quickly."

Chen Mo was a little annoyed. Losing his sense of time was a bad thing; it could easily cause delays.

"You told me that your sister would need the heartwood and life essence of the Abyss Mother Tree within six months."

Ying Tianxing recalled what Chen Mo had said yesterday and realized that Chen Mo's time was indeed running out.

"Don't worry, if the plan goes smoothly, you'll be back in a month at most."

The speed suddenly increased, and an hour later, Chen Mo and the other two were standing on a root of the Abyss Mother Tree.

"Aren't things going a little too smoothly for us?"

"The Abyss Mother Tree isn't reacting at all?"

Chen Mo gently patted the bark of the Abyss Mother Tree; it felt no different from ordinary tree bark.

"Shut up!"

Ying Tianxing and Song Bin turned and glared angrily at Chen Mo. Couldn't this kid say something nice with that foul mouth of his?

"The Abyss Mother Tree is drawing upon the Sea of ​​End, and I don't know why She is doing so."

"But the consequences are certainly not what we want to see. It would be good to slow down the speed at which the Abyss Mother Tree absorbs the Sea of ​​End."

Ying Tianxing pressed the golden orbs of light he had accumulated along the way into the Emperor Sword in his hand, and gestured back and forth on the bark of the Abyss Mother Tree.
