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

At this moment, Chen Mo was completely unaware of these matters; he was standing in front of the person in charge at the pill collection point, staring at each other blankly.

"Chen Mo, as I said, each person can only receive this many pills at a time. Come back for more after you've finished them!"

The teacher in charge tapped on the table and pointed to the large handful of various kinds of pills in Chen Mo's arms.

"Ten level-three Qi and Blood Pills, ten level-three Body Tempering Pills, two Life-Recovery Pills, and ten bottles of Qi and Blood Tonics—do you know how much these things are worth?"

"Twenty-six million!"

"It's not like you can only get it this once. Come back after you finish eating!"

Chen Mo pursed his lips before leaving with the pills in his arms.

"Tch, it's not like you have to pay, why are you being so stingy..."

"You guys don't need to look. Everyone is treated the same. Take your share and get back to cultivating!"

After giving Gu Feng, Yang Zuo, and Ma Wanglin their due amounts, the teacher in charge waved them away.

The group looked at the pills in their arms, enough for three days, and followed behind Chen Mo with smiles.

"What should we say now? Which training room should we go to first?"

Gu Feng walked up to Chen Mo and asked in a low voice.

Apart from them, the other students participating in this training camp were all resting; securing a spot was the most important thing for them.

"I plan to go to the gravity tempering chamber to temper my skin," Chen Mo replied after thinking for a moment.

"Then let's all go together." Gu Feng nodded, as he had the same idea.

None of them had ever heard of a gravity tempering chamber, and everyone was very curious about its effects.

There are only four gravity tempering chambers in the entire southern training camp, and these few filled them all at once.

The gravity tempering chamber was located on the third basement level. After confirming their identities, the group successfully entered.

"Wait a minute!" Just as Chen Mo opened the door to a gravity tempering chamber, Chu Chi appeared behind him, pushing Dean Chu along.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed again, kid?"

"Do you even know how to temper your body? You dare use the gravity tempering chamber without having learned it?"

Dean Chu sighed. Why does this kid like to risk his life so much?

"Come, sit down first." Dean Chu pointed to the seat next to him, and Chen Mo thought for a moment and then sat down.

"Tempering the body is a painful process, completely different from accumulating qi and blood in the previous two stages."

"If the first two stages are about accumulating qi and blood, then the next stage of tempering the body is about consuming the qi and blood accumulated in the body."

As Dean Chu spoke, he released his spiritual power to guide the blood and qi in Chen Mo's body to begin tempering his skin.

"Now take a Level 3 Body Tempering Pill." Dean Chu pointed to the Level 3 Body Tempering Pill in Chen Mo's arms.

Without hesitation, Chen Mo took out a pill and swallowed it. A gentle medicinal power began to flow through his body.

"Can you feel it? Guide your Qi and blood from your meridians and let them combine with your skin."

"When the skin you've refined reaches its limit, that skin can be called steel skin."

Under Dean Chu's guidance, Chen Mo successfully combined his blood and qi with a piece of skin the size of a fingernail.

But the next moment, the blood and qi that had successfully combined were squeezed out by the skin and returned to Chen Mo's meridians.

"What...what's going on?" Chen Mo looked at Dean Chu with some confusion.

"You were born with steel skin, steel blood, and steel bones. This can be considered a second tempering, so it is naturally much more difficult."

Dean Chu was not surprised by this situation, as he had encountered martial artists with naturally indestructible skin before.

"Do you remember that feeling?"

"I've got it." Chen Mo nodded. He had clearly memorized the route of the blood and qi circulation and the method of tempering.

"Alright, next I will teach you how to use your mental energy to guide your Qi and blood."

Dean Chu nodded in satisfaction. This kid has good talent, both in martial arts and in mental strength.

"Alright, let's begin the first step: differentiating our own mental energy..."

...

Half an hour later, Chen Mo, who had successfully twisted his spiritual energy into a thin thread, began to try to guide his qi and blood.

"That's right, that's it."

A hint of shock flashed in Dean Chu's eyes. This child's talent in controlling mental power was even better than that in controlling blood and qi!

Seeing that Chen Mo had successfully entered the body tempering state, Dean Chu woke Chen Mo up.

"You have mastered the methods of tempering your body and guiding your qi and blood with your mental power. Now you can use the gravity tempering chamber."

"With your physical strength, without the help of the gravity tempering chamber, it would probably take a long time to complete the steel skin, steel blood, and steel bones."

"Thank you, Dean Chu."

Chen Mo bowed deeply to Dean Chu, his eyes filled with gratitude.

This person is one of the highest-ranking mentalists in the entire Great Xia Dynasty. It is already a great favor that he was able to teach him personally.

"No need for all this formalities. Just come and help me out when my research runs into problems."

Dean Chu waved his hand, not taking it too seriously.

"Alright, go ahead. It's best to start with twice the normal force when you first use the gravity tempering chamber. Don't be reckless."

Chen Mo nodded, walked into the gravity tempering chamber, and closed the door.

After adjusting the gravity in the room to twice its normal level, Chen Mo quickly adjusted and didn't feel much of a difference.

After experiencing this period of time, Chen Mo realized that his life points would enhance his physical fitness to a certain extent.

Conversely, if his body is strengthened, his health will also increase.

Given his current health, double gravity is far too low.

However, out of caution, Chen Mo still cautiously adjusted the gravity multiplier little by little.

Three times, four times, five times, six times!

It wasn't until the speed was adjusted to six times that Chen Mo's body reached its critical point.

Sitting cross-legged in the center of the room, Chen Mo swallowed another level-three body-tempering pill and began to guide his qi and blood according to the method taught by Dean Chu.

Soon, a wisp of blood and energy, guided by spiritual power, detached from the meridians and merged into a patch of skin the size of a fingernail.

This time, instead of being rejected as it had been in the outside world, it began to slowly integrate under six times the pressure.

"Um?"

A sharp, needle-like pain shot through him, and the small patch of skin that Chen Mo was tempering was slowly bleeding.

"Don't worry, this is a normal phenomenon during the surface tempering process."

Song Bin stood outside the gravity tempering chamber at some point, looking at Chen Mo, whose skin was bleeding, and said...

"The so-called tempering is the process of healing and integrating blood and qi into the skin after an injury. All you need to do is endure the stinging sensation."

"I'll stay here and watch over things, so you can focus on refining."
