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

"Yes, grandmasters can fly."

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment; he had forgotten about this.

Once a martial artist has completed the process of sealing off the body and forming an internal circulation, they will gain the ability to fly.

However, before completing the internal circulation, martial artists below level nine can only walk on air at most.

"Also, next time don't call me 'old man,' call me Master Gu!"

This was the first time someone had called him an old man to his face, and Gu Ji never expected that Chen Mo would be so disrespectful to his elders.

Not only does he disrespect the elderly, but he is also particularly ruthless towards women, especially hitting their breasts.

Chu Bai, who was originally tall and curvaceous, was transformed into a pair of basins after Chen Mo's punch.

"Oh, Master Gu." Chen Mo was actually a little embarrassed, as his casual remark calling someone an old man had been overheard.

"You can set off now. I'll stay with your convoy."

Gu Ji didn't intend to argue with Chen Mo over such a trivial matter; at most, he would teach him a lesson when they went to the southern training camp.

"With me here, ensuring your safe return to Taizhou City will not be a problem."

"But I can only escort you back to Taizhou City. I still need to personally guard the Abyss Rift in Yanjing."

"Alright, thank you very much, Master Gu." Chen Mo was already very grateful that Gu Jineng was able to help him, as he was a master.

There are no more than one hundred Grandmasters in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, and they are mostly stationed in dangerous places.

It was already a great favor that Gu Ji was willing to take the time to protect them.

"Let's go, Director Wei." Chen Mo patted Wei Zhen, who was driving.

"Great!" Wei Zhen was thrilled. Starting next year, Taizhou would receive a large amount of resources.

The quality of the teaching staff will also be greatly improved, which is a great thing for him as the director of the Martial Arts Education Bureau.

He no longer expects to climb any higher; Wei Zhen's current goal is to make Taizhou a nationally and even globally renowned martial arts mecca.

"The task ahead is arduous and the road is long..."

With excitement in his heart, Wei Zhen stepped on the gas and led the Taizhou City relatives and friends group toward Taizhou.

......

At this moment, on the only route that the Taizhou relatives and friends group had to take back to Taizhou, a figure that had disappeared for some time suddenly appeared.

"Chen Mo, you caused my family to be destroyed and my career ruined, while you yourself became a peerless genius admired by all..."

Wearing a black robe and sporting a strange brand on his face, Zhao Dehai appeared at the 300-kilometer mark of the Beijing-Taiyuan Expressway.

"Hehehe, if I'm not having a good time, you won't be either."

"Even if I can't kill you, I'll make sure your family dies in front of you."

"What are you muttering about?" Just as Zhao Dehai was muttering to himself, a purplish-red crack suddenly appeared behind him.

Several figures emerged from within, each draped in a long black robe.

"It's nothing, I'm just praying to the abyss." Zhao Dehai shook his head.

"Are you sure Chen Mo will pass by here?"

A clear voice rang out, and the black-robed men around immediately knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty Bishop!"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Zhao Dehai broke out in a cold sweat.

But then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

This is the bishop of the Abyss Cult in the southern region, a level thirteen grandmaster!

No matter how strong Chen Mo is, he will be instantly crushed by a level 13 Grandmaster!

"Of course I'm sure. This is the only way they can get back, and nobody knows I've already returned to the abyss."

Zhao Dehai said with his head down.

"Very good. We must not allow such a genius to grow up, or it will cause unimaginable damage to our great cause."

The archbishop nodded, very satisfied with Zhao Dehai's performance.

"However, as the national champion, Chen Mo will definitely receive a lot of support and guidance from those people."

"Judging from this, it's very likely that Chen Mo is protected by a Grandmaster."

A man in black robes raised his question at the opportune moment.

"If you can think of it, do you think I can't?" The archbishop smiled slightly and reached into the crack beside him and touched it a couple of times.

"This time I brought the Holy Beast with me."

"If Chen Mo is truly protected by a grandmaster, he will definitely not return alive."

"Isn't it a good thing for us to lose a Grandmaster-level combatant?"

Upon hearing the archbishop's words, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

It seems that the Church attaches great importance to this operation, not only sending the archbishop of the southern region, but also bringing the Church's sacred animal with them.

This is a complete and utter trap!

"Get ready, don't let a single one escape." The archbishop's face revealed a cruel smile; his favorite pastime was killing these so-called hopes of humanity.

"Yes!" Including Zhao Dehai, all the men in black robes lay in ambush all around, ready to make a move at any time.

...

Four hours later, the convoy from Taizhou, which had experienced the massive traffic jam in Yanjing, finally made it out of the city.

"My back hurts..." Chen Li looked exhausted, and all he could hear were various loudspeaker noises.

"We left too early. If we had left tomorrow, there probably wouldn't have been so many people."

Wei Zhen sighed. Today happened to be the day the audience who came to watch the national competition left Yanjing.

Fortunately, there weren't many cars on the Beijing-Taiyuan Expressway; it was just their convoy of a few vehicles traveling on it.

"It's unlikely. The Yanjing Martial Arts Academy will be open to the public in a few days, and there will be even more people then."

Chen Li shook his head. Unless something serious happened, he would never come to Yanjing again.

Although Taizhou is a bit small and poor, it is at least very comfortable to live in, without the feeling of being crowded with people.

"Okay, it'll be quick once we get on the highway. We'll be in Taizhou in another eight hours."

Xu Liu checked the navigation on her phone; they were exactly 800 kilometers away from Taizhou.

"Hold on tight, the veteran driver's about to take you for a spin!"

Wei Zhen gripped the steering wheel tightly, stepped on the gas, and the speed of the SUV instantly soared.

Wei Zhen learned a lot during his military career in the suppression army, and his driving habits followed those habits from his time in the suppression army.

Transporting people and transporting supplies are two completely different driving methods.

My comrades all possess bodies and wills of steel; they just floor the gas pedal and get to work.

But Chinese cabbage is different; if it gets spoiled, you'll be punished.

After a two-hour drive, Chen Mo felt drowsy.

He didn't get a good night's rest last night, and the added stress has made him feel unwell.

"Chen Mo, be careful, there are people lying in ambush ahead."

Just then, Gu Ji's extremely solemn voice rang in Chen Mo's ears.

"Stop the car!" Chen Mo shouted decisively at Wei Zhen.

Wei Zhen also stepped on the brakes as if by reflex, and the Taizhou City convoy stopped at the same time.

"This is bad! Two level 13 Grandmaster-level experts, and several upper-level fourth-grade martial artists. This is troublesome!"

Gu Ji's senses were quite sharp, and he immediately realized that things were in serious trouble.

"I will try my best to keep those people occupied, but I can't guarantee that I can stop them all."

The valley fell from the sky and landed in front of the off-road vehicle.

"When I tell you to run, run immediately, floor the gas pedal and don't look back!"

"Did you understand?"
