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

The following day, after receiving their daily dose of pills, Chen Mo and Ma Wanglin followed Song Bin to the martial arts training room of the training camp.

"Today I will teach you two the Cloud Step technique."

Song Bin stood with his hands behind his back, his expression serious.

"The Cloud Step is a movement technique that allows martial artists who have not reached the Grandmaster level to briefly gain the ability to fly."

"But this technique also has very basic requirements for the user."

"That means reaching the Steel Skin Realm, where one can release their Qi and blood outwards."

After a pause, seeing that the two were listening attentively, Song Bin continued.

"This movement technique allows one to briefly walk on air by compressing the air under their feet with their qi and blood."

"The theory sounds simple, right?"

Chen Mo and Ma Wanglin exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.

"Because it is very simple to use in practice, but it does require a certain degree of precision in the output of qi and blood."

As he spoke, Song Bin gestured for Chen Mo and Ma Wanglin to look at his feet.

"The amount of Qi and Blood output also determines your explosive power at the moment of falling into the air."

"Now look closely, this is the effect under normal blood and qi output."

Chen Mo and Ma Wanglin stared intently at the soles of Song Bin's shoes. They saw a faint red mist condense, and Song Bin slowly lifted off the ground by stepping on that red mist.

"Next comes the effect of a massive burst of Qi and blood!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Bin shot out like a cannonball, and Mach rings, reminiscent of breaking the sound barrier, even appeared behind him!

The terrifying shockwave sent Chen Mo and Ma Wanglin flying. If Chen Mo hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed Ma Wanglin's hair, she probably would have been blown into the sea.

"Having hair is so convenient..."

The shockwave came and went quickly, and Song Bin landed back in front of the two of them after flying around once.

"I've finished demonstrating. You two can start trying it now."

"Of course, with your current energy levels, you two can't reach such a speed. Breaking the 100 km/h mark would be considered a rare talent."

"Furthermore, it should be noted that the Cloud Step cannot be used continuously for a long time, as that will consume a lot of qi and blood."

"The best way to use it is to create a leverage point for yourself in the air, and then use the Cloud Step movement to dodge and maneuver."

After saying that, Song Bin sat down on the steps and watched the two of them without saying a word.

In fact, Chen Mo had already memorized every move of the Cloud Stacking Step last night. After seeing it with his own eyes, his understanding of the Cloud Stacking Step deepened.

Feeling the steel skin he had just forged, Chen Mo tried to move the blood and qi in his meridians to the skin on the soles of his feet.

This step went quite smoothly; Chen Mo grasped the technique in less than a minute.

Although the first step was successful, Chen Mo clearly lacked experience in controlling the output of Qi and Blood, and outputted a bit too much Qi and Blood at once.

With a bang, Chen Mo shot into the sky like a rocket, followed by a feeling of weakness caused by a deficiency of qi and blood.

"Holy crap, it can completely drain your blood and energy in one go?"

With a pale face, Chen Mo began to free fall, but fortunately, the fall from the height of more than ten floors did not injure him.

With a thud, Chen Mo, whose blood and energy had almost reached zero, fell to the ground. When he looked up, he saw Ma Wanglin's pair of fleshy, wheat-colored thighs.

"How long are you going to lie there?"

Ma Wanglin, expressionless, grabbed Chen Mo's arm and helped him up from the ground.

"Chen Mo, do you... have absolutely no experience in controlling your Qi and blood?"

Song Bin, standing to the side, immediately saw the essence of Chen Mo's problem: he had never properly used his Qi and blood.

"Yeah, I didn't know any martial arts before, I just relied on wild, unorthodox punches..."

Chen Mo was somewhat embarrassed, as his previous circumstances had indeed prevented him from accessing proper martial arts techniques.

The only martial art he knew was the Blood Fist, which Old Deng taught him to fight desperately.

A martial skill whose power increases with the amount of Qi and Blood it outputs has led Chen Mo to develop the habit of unleashing all his Qi and Blood at once.

"I didn't realize your problem was so serious..."

Song Bin rubbed his temples. He had thought that Chen Mo only lacked systematic martial arts knowledge, skills, and movement techniques.

But now it seems that this child has completely gone astray.

This was intended as a one-off suicide attack.

"Ma Wanglin, you practice on your own for a while first. I'll help Chen Mo learn how to control his Qi and blood output."

After giving Ma Wanglin a few instructions, Song Bin took Chen Mo aside and began to give him some extra help.

"This habit of yours must be corrected, otherwise it will greatly affect your future progress."

"You first learned the Bloodthirsty Fist of the Suppression Army, and then experienced the life-or-death struggle of the National Competition where everyone went all out. It's normal for you to develop this habit."

"Come, let me show you what the normal output of Qi and blood is like..."

The morning flew by, and under Song Bin's hands-on guidance, Chen Mo gradually transformed from a one-time suicide martial artist into someone a little more normal.

At lunchtime, the teams other than Chen Mo's team finally realized the uniqueness of the cafeteria food and began to feast one after another.

At the dinner table, Chen Mo shoveled the Beast King-level braised pork into his mouth while sizing up Yang Zuo.

"You don't need to look anymore, this guy is only four or five days away from breaking through."

Gu Feng noticed Chen Mo's gaze, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then spoke.

"Level 6, Steel Bone Realm?" Ma Wanglin suddenly raised her head, a look of disbelief flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, I need about twenty more days. This guy's talent is just too freakish."

Gu Feng nodded, and the way he looked at Yang Zuo was different now.

"I've actually been stuck in the Steel Blood Realm for more than half a year now, and it's about time I broke through."

Yang Zuo, on the other hand, didn't find this matter surprising at all.

"With the help of human technology, it was expected that the breakthrough would be achieved ahead of schedule."

"And didn't you guys notice that person who's even more talented than me?"

"He completed the skin tempering from scratch in just three hours; his talent is far superior to mine."

Yang Zuo pointed at Chen Mo, saying that breaking through a major realm in three hours was indeed a bit abnormal.

"That's quite a blow..." Gu Feng sighed, then shoveled a mouthful of Beast King-level braised pork in frustration.

"Um..." Seeing that the conversation had temporarily come to an end, He Miao seized the opportunity to say something.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mo and the others looked up at He Miao at the same time, which startled He Miao so much that she shrank back.

"I have completed the initialization of the new communication system, and it is ready for official use."

"That's good. We won't need to call each other anymore when we contact each other later." Gu Feng chuckled, not taking the new communication system too seriously.
