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

"Hmm." Chen Mo nodded. Apart from the Blood Fist that Tian Xingxing taught him, he didn't know any other martial arts techniques.

The Blood Fist is a martial art exclusively used by the military, specifically designed to kill the enemy together. It can only be used as a killing move and is not needed in normal times.

Moreover, Chen Mo does need a martial skill that he can use regularly, as the cooldown time of skills like Heart of Steel or others is too long.

"Alright, I'll just ask you one question: are you willing to practice with me using the halberd?"

Song Bin revealed his signature gentle smile and asked.

"I have a martial art that is very suitable for you. It is the Demon-Slaying Six-Hit Halberd that I developed myself when I was at the seventh level of the Steel Marrow Realm."

"This move places high demands on the user's physical condition and consumes a lot of energy and blood, but its power is also extremely strong."

"Each strike is twice as powerful as the previous one, and the health cost is also doubled. It can be stacked up to six times in a row."

"How about it? Want to learn the Six-Hit Demon-Slaying Halberd Technique from me?"

"Really?" Chen Mo's eyes lit up. He loved these powerful and sweeping martial arts techniques and weapons the most.

"Of course, would I joke with you?" To show his sincerity, Song Bin picked up a large box that was nearly three meters long from the side.

"Since you've chosen the halberd, then I'll give you this Phoenix Beak Dragon Fang Halberd that I used before breaking through to level nine!"

Pushing the Phoenix Beak Dragon Tooth Halberd in front of Chen Mo, Song Bin then threw a brand-new martial arts manual at him.

"This is the basic combat technique for the halberd. Once you have mastered the basic combat technique, I will teach you the Demon-Slaying Six-Hit Combo."

After saying that, Song Bin turned and left, appearing nonchalant.

But everyone in the dormitory saw the happy smile on Song Bin's lips.

It seems that Song Bin is quite satisfied with Chen Mo, his half-apprentice.

After Song Bin left, the three of them, including Yang Zuo, gathered around.

"Chen Mo, open it and take a look." Everyone was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of weapon a level 13 Grandmaster would use in his youth.

Chen Mo himself was also very excited. He opened the spring lock of the weapon box, revealing the true appearance of the Phoenix Beak Dragon Fang Halberd.

"Holy crap..." Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as they looked at the pitch-black halberd in front of them.

This Phoenix Beak Dragon Tooth Halberd is 2.5 meters long, with two sharp edges and four blades. The two curved blades are like dragon teeth, and the crimson spearhead at the top is like a phoenix beak. No wonder it is called the Phoenix Beak Dragon Tooth Halberd!

Thick, indelible bloodstains seemed to have seeped into the curved blade, and a chilling aura emanated from the Phoenix Beak Dragon Fang Halberd.

"Gulp." Chen Mo swallowed hard. This was the first time he had ever liked a weapon so much.

"Quick, quick, pick it up and take a look!" Although Gu Feng and the others were very curious, the owner of this weapon was Chen Mo, and they could not touch someone else's weapon without the owner's permission.

Chen Mo nodded and reached out to grasp the handle of the Phoenix Beak Dragon Tooth Halberd.

Cold and heavy—that was Chen Mo's first impression of the Phoenix Beak Dragon Fang Halberd after handling it.

"So heavy!" Chen Mo lifted it with all his might, and the Phoenix Beak Dragon Tooth Halberd, which had been sealed away for many years, finally saw the light of day again!

They've also found their owner again!

"Damn, the halberd is way cooler than the staff..." Gu Feng drooled as he looked at the phoenix-beak dragon-tooth halberd. Why did he have to be so foolish as to practice staff techniques?

"I am not suited to the halberd; the spear suits me better."

Ma Wanglin shook her head, although she also thought the Phoenix Beak Dragon Tooth Halberd was very cool.

"A good weapon, very suitable for you." Yang Zuo glanced at the Phoenix Beak Dragon Fang Halberd in Chen Mo's hand and nodded, giving an approving look.

Chen Mo didn't reply, but instead felt the weight of the halberd in his hand.

"This Phoenix Beak Dragon Tooth Halberd... weighs at least 600 jin (300 kg)."

This was the first time Chen Mo had used such a heavy weapon, but fortunately, he had amazing arm strength, so it wasn't difficult for him to use.

"Hey, did Uncle Song leave a list?" Just as Chen Mo was getting used to the feel of the Phoenix Beak Dragon Fang Halberd, Gu Feng suddenly noticed a note under the box.

"No, it's not a note, it's an internal map of the southern training camp!"

Gu Feng picked up the internal map of the Southern Training Camp, which clearly marked several training rooms that no one outside had ever heard of.

"Stop playing with that halberd handle. Don't you understand why Uncle Song gave it to us?"

Gu Feng nudged Chen Mo, who was still playing with the Phoenix Beak Dragon Tooth Halberd, and unfolded the internal map and placed it on the table.

"Look, this is the daily pill distribution area, this is the gravity tempering room, this is the qi and blood replenishment room, this is the movement technique training room..."

Gu Feng excitedly pointed to one training room after another on the map.

"Damn it, besides the blood and qi replenishment room, I don't have any of those other things at home!"

"Tsk, damn rich people..." Ma Wanglin curled her lip and glared at Gu Feng with some displeasure.

"Never mind whether I deserve to die or not, let's go claim a spot first!"

Chen Mo finally realized what was happening, put away the Phoenix Beak Dragon Fang Halberd, grabbed the internal map, and led the group towards the pill collection point.

...

Meanwhile, somewhere deep in the abyss.

"Zhao Dehai, why is everyone else dead except you?"

The archbishop sipped his hot tea with great relish, then looked at the trembling man kneeling before him and asked...

"I..." Zhao Dehai was speechless. He couldn't very well say that he chickened out when he saw Chen Mo fighting against two level seven martial artists, could he?

"Fine, I won't pursue your desertion this time."

The archbishop smiled slightly, put down his teacup, and patted Yuanhu's big head.

"This also tested Gu Ji's true strength, so it wasn't a complete loss."

"However, you are not without responsibility for the loss of ten mid-level fourth-grade martial artists in my Southern Diocese."

"Zhao Dehai".

"Eek!!!" Zhao Dehai was so frightened by the archbishop's seemingly gentle words that he let out a strange cry, and a puddle of liquid spurted out from his lower body.

"Tsk, you've made yourself so dirty, even Yuanhu wouldn't want to eat you."

The archbishop frowned in disdain and kicked Zhao Dehai away.

"I'll give you one more chance. I got this ancient artifact from the deepest abyss."

The archbishop tossed a stone whistle to Zhao Dehai and then turned and left.

"Human geniuses pose a great threat to the Holy Church; we must never allow them to grow up."

"Do you understand?"

Zhao Dehai, coughing up blood, barely managed to get up, picked up the whistle from the ground, and revealed a strange smile.

"Of course, Your Excellency, I understand."

"Chen Mo, Chen Mo, you've ruined me like this, how can I let you grow up comfortably..."

Luckily, he ran fast last time and wasn't discovered by that bastard Chen Mo, otherwise he wouldn't have received the Archbishop's treasure today.

With this ancient artifact, Chen Mo is doomed!
