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

The next second, Qiu Wushuang's life force was completely extinguished, and Shi Jinshi collapsed to the ground with a face full of grief.

"well..."

"It's all fate..."

Neither of them knew that it was Chen Mo who had just made the move; they were too busy protecting themselves to do so.

Shi Jinshi assumed that the commotion was just a sign that reinforcements had arrived from above, and he didn't think of Chen Mo at all.

"Don't worry, Governor Qiu is not dead."

Chen Mo grinned and pointed at Qiu Wushuang, who was slowly rising to the surface.

With the time reversal activated, Qiu Wushuang's injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Three seconds later, Qiu Wushuang, whose health had been restored to 1.6 billion, opened her eyes.

"I... I'm still alive?"

Qiu Wushuang's maximum health is 3 billion. Although 1.6 billion health points cannot fully restore her health, they have allowed her to recover to a state of moderate injury.

"Holy crap! Qiu Wushuang, you shrew, you're alive?!"

Shi Jinshi's eyes widened as he reached out to touch Qiu Wushuang in front of him to see if she was real or fake.

"Get lost!"

Qiu Wushuang kicked Shi Jinshi in the face, sending him flying.

"Chen Mo, when did you get back?"

The young man standing in front of him made Qiu Wushuang feel dazed. How long had it been since the previous battle?

Even Chen Mo, who was in the middle of the abyss, has returned?

"You were just back for less than thirty seconds, weren't you?"

Chen Mo counted on his fingers and realized that from the time he returned to when he killed all the Abyss Beasts to when he revived Qiu Wushuang, it seemed that he only took thirty seconds in total.

"How much did you say?!"

Qiu Wushuang was completely dumbfounded. How could only thirty seconds have passed?!

"I just got back. I came back after finishing up with the things in the middle abyss."

Chen Mo scratched his face. Even though he was now countless times stronger than Qiu Wushuang, he still regarded the two of them as his elders.

Both Shi Jinshi and Qiu Wushuang were somewhat overloaded, feeling that everything in front of them was unreal.

"What level have you reached now, kid?"

Qiu Wushuang put aside what she couldn't understand and looked Chen Mo, who was standing in front of her with an imposing aura, up and down before asking a question.

"Me? I guess I'd call myself a grandmaster now?"

Chen Mo didn't know if he could be considered a grandmaster after condensing the Wheel of Fate, since he was now able to go toe-to-toe with Earth Martial Realm warriors when he was at full power.

"..."

The two fell silent once again, and Shi Jinshi looked at Qiu Wushuang with a strange expression.

"Don't look at me like that. I was just saying it casually. I never expected that this kid could actually do something so unbelievable."

Qiu Wushuang shrugged, wondering if this could be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy.

No, that idiom isn't quite appropriate here...

Qiu Wushuang shook her head. She was a rough person, so it was already quite good that she could come up with such an idiom.

"Speaking of which, what exactly happened here? Why would a beast at the Earth Martial Realm appear in the shallow abyss?"

Chen Mo clearly remembered that these inferior products that had been conceived were used by the Abyss Mother Tree to deal with Dean Ying, so how could they have appeared here?

"That's a long story. It must have been about forty days after you left..."

A few minutes later, Chen Mo, having learned the situation, turned his head away somewhat awkwardly.

The current situation... seems to be inextricably linked to him, doesn't it?

"Well, this shouldn't happen again. Things will probably calm down around the Abyss Mother Tree for quite some time."

Chen Mo knew very well that he had taken a large piece from the heart of the Abyss Mother Tree, and it would take the Abyss Mother Tree a very long time to recover.

This period may very well be the last quiet time.

Once the Abyss Mother Tree has fully recovered, the pressure in the shallow abyss will increase several times over.

We must inform the three elders about this so they can prepare accordingly.

With Qiu Wushuang and Shi Jinshi tucked under his armpits, Chen Mo flew back to the severely damaged Qi and Blood Fortress.

Both of them were seriously injured, but neither was fatal, nor were they to the point of blocking their vital energy and blood circulation.

So Chen Mo shared some of the pure life essence of the Abyss Mother Tree with the two of them before leaving.

He has important business to attend to now; once he awakens Chen Yi, he will have no more worries.

Of course, we also need to help Gu Feng and his team out; they can't keep being this bad.

"Boss, boss, boss!!!"

Just as Chen Mo was pondering how to help Gu Feng and the others quickly improve their cultivation levels, a pair of large headlights directly obscured Chen Mo's face.

"Get down, get down. Do you even know how much you weigh?"

Chen Mo took the Funigs off his body and patted her head helplessly.

This little thing doesn't look heavy, but its actual weight is no different from that of Cerberus in its Cerberus form.

Funi's actions were like a hundred-meter-tall beast delivering a rocket headbutt, which also landed on him.

"Chen Mo!"

No sooner had Funi stepped down than another soft body threw itself into his arms.

"You're alright! I knew you'd come back safe and sound!"

Ma Wanglin rarely showed her soft side; in front of the man who had taken her virginity, she was just a pure girl.

Instead of the warrior wielding the Void Spear and slaughtering his way through the land.

"Don't worry, I'm very tough."

Chen Mo gently patted Ma Wanglin's back; the soft touch made him a little aroused.

He's a young man after all, and his energy is incredible.

"Have you two been lovey-dovey enough?"

Gu Feng was speechless. He was a young and energetic guy, so why was no one there to comfort him?

Is it because his family background is not illustrious enough or because his talent is not good enough?

Um......

His talent is indeed inferior to Chen Mo's, but his family background...

It seems my family is indeed inferior to Chen Mo now; this kid could easily crush that legendary being with a flick of his wrist...

Gu Feng immediately deflated, and Yang Zuo, who was standing next to him, looked at Gu Feng with a strange expression.

Upon hearing this, Ma Wanglin blushed and quickly released her arms from Chen Mo, standing obediently beside him.

"Wait, what level have you reached now?"

Gu Feng looked Chen Mo up and down, wondering if this old guy had finally managed to open his vital point.

Are you trying to kill him?

"Not much progress, just reached the Grandmaster level."

Chen Mo didn't want to give Gu Feng and the others too much of a blow, so he simply adopted a little bit of humility.

"..."

Gu Feng fell silent, squatting on the ground with a dark expression, contemplating life.

"We can chat when I get back. I'm going to the Mountain City Research Center first."

Chen Mo knew he had important business to attend to, and there were people waiting for him there.

"Count me in!"

Joseph immediately stepped forward, and the people around him cast questioning glances at him.

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes. Could this kid be plotting something against his sister?
