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

Yu Jinling paused, as if she had thought of something.

"Of course, compared to ordinary martial artists, it will be much more difficult for a martial artist like you, who is born with steel skin, steel blood, and steel bones, to temper yourself."

"So, you absolutely must seize this opportunity for training in the south and make the most of the special equipment there to help you hone your skills!"

"This is also your best chance to become stronger!"

After hearing this, Chen Mo's expression became somewhat solemn.

Could it be that having too high a life value really affects his progress in tempering his body?

"You have to give up something to gain something; you will lose something in return for what you gain."

However, Chen Mo was quite open-minded. Even though his martial arts level was stuck at level three, he could still stack up his stats by relying on his Heart Steel.

If we also get the Molten Purple item that infinitely stacks attack speed on Berserker, then Thresh's Hellish Curse of infinitely stacking defense and ability power...

But these are just thoughts. After all, the probability of drawing these two out of 840 skills is comparable to getting the character you want from a random gacha pool in a second game.

"You're pretty open-minded, kid." Yu Jinling was a little surprised. She didn't expect Chen Mo to have such a mindset at such a young age.

He will surely become a grandmaster in the future!

...

Two hours later, Yu Jinling and Chen Mo landed at Yanjing International Airport.

"arrive."

The two were not attacked along the way and arrived at their destination safely.

"Go, you must seize this opportunity."

Yu Jinling patted Chen Mo on the shoulder, watched him walk into the VIP room, and then turned and left.

"You're here~" Gu Feng spotted Chen Mo at a glance and waved to him.

Sitting next to him were Yang Zuo and Ma Wanglin, whose broken leg still hadn't been reattached.

"What are you going to do about your leg?" Chen Mo asked, sitting next to Ma Wanglin and looking at her broken leg, whose wound had already healed.

"It's okay, my teacher said that the spiritual masters in the southern training camp will help me get back on track."

As she spoke, Ma Wanglin picked up the refrigerated life support box next to her and showed the three of them her broken leg.

"..."

Even Yang Zuo didn't know how to respond, staring blankly at the severed leg in the box without saying a word.

"Well, it's about time, let's board the plane."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Gu Feng coughed lightly and led the three of them toward the boarding gate.

They weren't traveling on ordinary civilian aircraft this time, but on a military transport plane.

Including the four members of Chen Mo's team, there are a total of sixteen people participating in the southern training camp this time, all of whom are teenagers of the right age.

As for the squads, it seems that they are divided into squads according to combat methods and styles.

Chen Mo and his team had very similar fighting styles: they were all indifferent to life and death and would fight anyone who disagreed.

"Weren't we going to the south for training? How come we're on a military transport plane?"

Even though she hadn't panicked when her leg was broken, Ma Wanglin suddenly became nervous. She hugged her broken leg tightly and asked...

"That's right, the southern training camp only has military airfields, not civilian ones."

"The destination can't be..." Ma Wanglin thought of the famous all-weather war-prepared city, Dawn City!

"Yes, it's Dawn City." Gu Feng nodded, to be honest, he was a little nervous too.

Dawn City is located on an island covering 760,000 square kilometers in the southernmost part of the Great Xia Dynasty. The island is as warm as summer all year round and is very prosperous.

Furthermore, while bustling with activity, this place also served as the first line of defense for the Great Xia Dynasty against the invasion of sea monsters from the chaotic seas, with large-scale battles occurring almost daily.

For these newcomers who had never experienced large-scale battles, Dawn City was an excellent training ground.

No one appeared except for these sixteen people until the plane took off; it seemed as if they were simply left to their own devices.

"Ahem, can you hear me?"

Just as everyone was wondering, the airplane's announcement came on.

"The destination of this southern training camp is Dawn City. The first month is the training period, and the second half of the month is the actual combat period."

"There are three elimination slots available for this southern training camp, but I don't want to use any of them."

"Fasten your seatbelts, we'll be landing on time in three hours."

Chen Mo and the others quickly fastened their seatbelts, because they had already felt the difference between transport planes and passenger planes.

"Where did that person's voice sound familiar?"

Chen Mo frowned. That voice sounded somewhat familiar. Was it just his imagination?

"You must be familiar with him. That was Director Chu from the Shanghai Mental Strength Research Institute. He's coming to Dawn City with us this time."

Gu Feng seemed to know quite a bit and began to explain to Chen Mo and the others.

"A new real-time communication device has recently been developed that can be used within the range of the chaotic sea and abyssal rifts."

"However, this kind of communication device has a limitation: martial artists can only receive information. To achieve two-way communication, they need the assistance of a mentalist."

"We are here for training and also to test this new type of communication equipment."

Just as Gu Feng was speaking eloquently, Dean Chu, who was sitting in an electronic wheelchair, was pushed out by Chu Chi.

"You know quite a lot."

Dean Chu chuckled and looked at Gu Feng with a meaningful gaze.

Gu Feng scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. The secrecy level of this matter was actually quite high, and it was forbidden to spread outside before arriving in Dawn City.

"You... you've been hiding it well." But Dean Chu's main target wasn't Gu Feng. Anyway, the new communication equipment would be released sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.

But Dean Chu was puzzled by Chen Mo's appearance. What method had this kid used to block his previous detection?

"At the time, I didn't know if you had ill intentions, so I definitely couldn't expose myself."

"What if you old man tried to do something to me? I was seriously injured at the time and didn't even have the strength to resist."

Chen Mo had a "don't blame me" expression on his face, which made Dean Chu in the wheelchair laugh in exasperation.

"Good, good, you're a talent. I'll have those old masters take good care of you."

"That Celestial Race member, do you know where you fall short of Chen Mo?" Dean Chu turned to Yang Zuo and asked.

"His physical strength and willpower are both stronger than mine," Yang Zuo replied without hesitation.

"These are just two points; there's something else you don't know."

Dean Chu looked at Chen Mo with amusement. He had such talent but kept it hidden. He really didn't know what this brat was thinking.

"Chen Mo possesses both qi and blood, as well as spiritual power."

"What!?" Not only Gu Feng and his group, but also the remaining twelve people exclaimed in surprise.

"How is this possible? Is there really someone in this world who possesses both spiritual power and blood energy at the same time?" Even Chu Chi was astonished; it was simply too unbelievable.
