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

After adjusting his current equipment to its optimal configuration, Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction.

[First Equipment: Heart Steel]

[Second Equipment: Overlord Blood Armor]

[Third Equipment: Iron Plate Boots]

"Let's adjust the skills too. When we go back to the Abyss Rift, we should focus on combat."

After thinking for a while, Chen Mo replaced the skills he currently used with the new ones.

Passive Skill: Berserker's Fury

[First Skill: Charged Fist]

[Second Skill: Endless Fury]

[Third Skill: Cycle of Despair]

"I see, the release of skills isn't without limitations..."

Chen Mo roughly figured it out: those skills that require mana to cast actually require mental energy.

But he was lucky; his most frequently used skills were all mana-free, only with a long cooldown.

As for why he chose the Cycle of Reincarnation instead of Ragnarok, Chen Mo actually had his own considerations.

Once Chen Mo kills his opponent in the cycle of reincarnation, he can permanently gain 20% of the opponent's all attributes, maximizing his growth potential.

However, Chen Mo did not intend to rely solely on equipment and skills; he also did not forget the importance of physical tempering through martial arts.

However, he plans to undergo physical training after going to the training camp in the south, as having guidance and not having guidance are two different things.

"It's almost time."

Stretching, Chen Mo removed the last piece of gauze from his body.

"Tsk, you've got scars." Chen Mo curled his lip; his back was covered with more than a dozen hideous scars.

The martial arts skills of those two level-seven warriors caused him to lose too much tissue; even if it were repaired, it would leave many scars.

"Forget it, which martial artist doesn't have a few scars on their body?"

Chen Mo was quite carefree; for a martial artist, scars could be considered a kind of medal.

Anyway, these scars will disappear after the steel is tempered, so a few more days won't make a difference.

After getting up and packing his things, Chen Mo pushed open the door of the ward and walked out.

He hasn't been home for a while, and he doesn't know if his parents are worried about him.

......

"..." Chen Mo stood in front of the locked door, lost in thought.

Where are they?

"Why is no one home?"

Scratching his head, Chen Mo still took out his phone and dialed his father's number.

"Son, how are you?" Chen Li's voice rang out, somewhat agitated. During this time, everyone was forbidden from visiting Chen Mo, and the couple were extremely worried.

"I'm fine, I've already been discharged from the hospital."

Chen Mo paused for a moment and then asked.

"Where are you two? Why is no one home?"

"Huh? Didn't Director Wei tell you? Didn't he say he was going to visit you today?"

Chen Li, on the other end of the phone, paused for a moment and asked with some confusion.

"What did you say?" Chen Mo was also completely bewildered. What did this have to do with them not being home?

"We're now in our new home, on the 33rd floor of Building 1, Seaside Garden, downtown."

Seeing that Chen Mo had no idea that he had moved, Chen Li had no choice but to explain.

"..." Chen Mo's face darkened. He hadn't even been told about something as important as moving?

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After saying that, Chen Mo hung up the phone, picked up his things, and went downstairs.

The seaside garden is nearly 30 kilometers away from his current old neighborhood, and running there is much faster than taking a car.

After securing the trophy sword, Chen Mo strode off.

Meanwhile, inside the Gu family's meeting room in Yanjing.

"Old Gu, have the results of Chen Mo's genetic testing come back?"

Several figures simultaneously turned their gazes toward Gu Ji, their eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

"It's out." Gu Ji took out a document and pushed it to the center of the table.

The figure who asked the question took the data and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the results.

"Pure-blooded humans are most likely mutated warriors, or possess multiple mutations simultaneously, but all of them are advantageous mutations..."

"Good, we can focus on training him."

After confirming that Chen Mo was indeed not a foreign spy, the group began to discuss the issue of special treatment for Chen Mo.

"By the way, Old Man Gu, you fought with that archbishop of the Abyss Cult a couple of days ago, right?"

The figure who had asked the question first came closer and sat down next to Gu Ji.

"How's their skill level? Is it possible for us to wipe them out now?"

"Impossible. We haven't even found their stronghold yet, let alone their ability to enter and exit the abyss rift at any time."

Gu Ji shook his head decisively.

"The prerequisite for eradicating these parasites of the Abyss Cult is to find their stronghold."

"Not to mention that there are many Abyss Cult warriors lurking in normal society. Once they are detonated, social order will be ruined."

"Alright then." The figure sighed.

"How are the training camps in the south arranged this year?" Gu Ji changed the subject, not intending to continue discussing the Abyss Cult.

The previous battle had left him with some minor injuries, but the Archbishop and Yuanhu were also in bad shape.

As a veteran master, Gu Ji naturally possesses the formidable combat power to fight two opponents at once.

"This year, we will mainly promote a new team formation method: one mentalist as the logistics master and four martial artists as the action team."

"The new communication tools are already in mass production. If the training camp in the south goes well, then we can start promoting them directly."

The figure pondered for a moment before replying.

"Finally, we have technological means that can be used in the abyss."

Gu Ji couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't get too excited. This new type of communication device requires energy stones as a base. Otherwise, why do you think it can be used in the abyss?"

The figure's voice, tinged with melancholy, rang out: "Energy stones are indeed a big problem."

This magical mineral is only produced in the chaotic sea caves and abyssal rifts, and the yield is extremely low, with the source being even more difficult to find.

Furthermore, most of the energy mines are occupied by Abyss Warriors or guarded by extremely powerful Abyss Beasts, making both mining and discovery very difficult.

This has led to the persistently high price of energy stones.

"Should I go there myself?" Gu Ji frowned. It was ridiculous that such a new technology was being restricted by energy stones.

"No, you must stay and guard Yanjing. Your unauthorized departure this time has already violated the rules."

The figure spoke in a serious voice, directly rejecting Gu Ji's idea.

"I'll figure out the energy mine issue; you don't need to worry about it."

"Alright." Gu Ji nodded. The Abyss Rift in Yanjing really needed him to guard it; venturing in rashly could easily lead to disaster.

"You guys continue the meeting, I'm going to check on my grandson."

Gu Ji stood up, said hello, and then turned and left the conference room.
