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

He Miao pursed her lips. Her role couldn't be fully demonstrated during the training period; only in actual combat could the importance of real-time communication be felt.

As a mentalist, He Miao possesses an incredibly powerful memory; she has memorized the entire map of the South Island.

She could answer any question Chen Mo and the others wanted to ask, including every detail and every alleyway.

Moreover, with the assistance of the new type of mentalist equipment, she can also use miniature earpieces to perform mental stimulation and other auxiliary methods.

Unfortunately, she has no opportunity to use her talents now.

"I'm going to the Qi and Blood Replenishment Room this afternoon to absorb Qi and blood. What about you?"

Chen Mo turned to look at Ma Wanglin, who had already mastered the basic Cloud Step technique after a morning of practice.

"Together, I also need qi and blood to unblock the meridians in my broken leg."

Ma Wanglin nodded, acknowledging that the efficiency of taking pills was definitely not as fast as that of replenishing qi and blood.

......

At the same time, the four grandmasters, including Song Bin, appeared in the training camp's conference room.

"Xiao Song, the hurricane season is only twenty days away."

"You've only been transferred here this year, so there are some things we old folks still need to tell you."

The Grandmaster surnamed Gu smiled kindly, showing no sign that he was a powerful Grandmaster capable of moving mountains and filling seas.

"Of course, please speak, seniors." Song Bin nodded, not finding anything wrong with what the three said.

"Every year during hurricane season, the South Island experiences a marine mammal riot, which is why the annual South training camp is held in the South Island."

Another master surnamed Huang raised his eyelids and said.

"These children this year are all outstanding, especially Chen Mo, who broke through from a level three martial artist to a level four martial artist in just one afternoon. This is unprecedented."

"Furthermore, this year we will be testing a new communication system and trying to have mentalists replace martial artists as logistics personnel. The pressure in all aspects will be much greater than in previous years."

"The Zhennan Army is stationed in the areas with higher pressure, while the remaining areas with lower pressure can be handled by these children and the town's joint defense team."

"Have you already decided where these children will be assigned?"

"..." Song Bin did not reply immediately, but was thinking about something.

"I'm actually wondering, is it really necessary to assign those children to places with less stress?"

"I think assigning them to the front lines would be a good choice."

"What do you three think?"

"No, these children haven't grown up yet, it's too risky." The Grandmaster Huang directly rejected Song Bin's suggestion.

In his view, these children were all in the line of master-level trainees, and it would be a huge loss if they were lost in a place like this.

"I think it's a good idea." The Grandmaster Gu nodded, feeling that Song Bin's suggestion was feasible.

"Old Huang, you still spoil those kids too much. They are martial artists, born to fight."

"If you don't go through trials and tribulations, you'll just end up as a hothouse flower. Haven't you learned that lesson enough?"

"But..." The Grandmaster Huang clenched his fist. He didn't want those children to repeat the mistakes of his grandson.

"I understand you. Your Huang family, except for you, has had four generations die on the southern island. It's normal that you don't want your children to take risks."

The Grandmaster Gu sighed. Old Huang was indeed pitiful; it was normal for his personality to become cowardly.

"But children have to grow up eventually. Without experiencing a real battlefield, they will never understand what humanity is facing now."

"So, let's leave this matter to Xiao Song."

"He's a former soldier; he wouldn't do something that would send those kids to their deaths."

"..." The Grandmaster surnamed Huang was silent for a while, but finally nodded.

"Xiao Song, I'm leaving you with this."

"Thank you for your support, Mr. Huang and Mr. Gu. I wonder what Mr. Xie thinks?"

Song Bin was grateful for the support of the two masters, but since Xie Qifu, the most senior of the three, remained silent, he could not make the final decision.

"You guys figure it out yourselves. I'm only responsible for teaching the students; whether they live or die is none of my business."

Xie Qifu waved his hand, clearly not taking the matter very seriously.

"I understand." Song Bin smiled, which meant Xie Qifu agreed.

"In that case, once the sea monsters begin their rampage during hurricane season, we'll assign these four teams to..."

...

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and with Chen Mo's unremitting efforts, he finally succeeded in learning how to control his blood and qi output.

Under Song Bin's guidance, he also mastered the basic combat techniques of the halberd and began to practice the Demon-Slaying Six-Hit Combo.

Unfortunately, Chen Mo's progress in Cloud Step was not as fast as Ma Wanglin's. At most, he could only compress two wisps of air at the same time as footholds, and he could not move too flexibly in the air.

However, the speed is not slow, provided you ignore the minor flaw of not being able to turn.

Inside the Qi and Blood Replenishment Room, Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes.

"Finally, I've finally reached the bottleneck."

Opening the attribute panel, Chen Mo smiled slightly as he looked at his 65,000 points of health and vitality.

As a level four martial artist, his total blood and qi is terrifying, exceeding that of most level five martial artists, and even surpassing that of some level six martial artists with weaker blood and qi.

Not only his Qi and Blood, but after becoming a Level 4 Steel Skin Realm martial artist, Chen Mo's attributes all received a certain improvement.

But the biggest improvement is in defense.

"Blood Fist is still the best; one punch deals nearly 100,000 damage."

"It's just not durable enough. I wonder how much damage it will do after learning the Demon-Slaying Six-Hit Combo."

Stretching, Chen Mo opened the door to the Qi and Blood Replenishment Room and walked out.

Apart from him, the other three Qi and Blood replenishment rooms were occupied by members of other teams.

Ma Wanglin had already reopened the meridians in her broken leg three days ago, and is now resuming the tempering of her blood.

"I can't fall too far behind; it's time to start tempering my blood."

After receiving the Level 4 Body Tempering Pill and Level 4 Qi and Blood Pill at the pill collection point, Chen Mo took the elevator down to the third basement level.

As soon as Chen Mo stepped off the elevator, he saw someone walk out of the gravity tempering chamber.

That person was one of the top sixteen, but he looked extremely disheveled.

His face was pale, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, which was obviously caused by rashly increasing the gravity multiplier.

"So, I really can't adapt to 1/7x gravity..."

The man was still muttering to himself as he passed by Chen Mo.

Seeing that the No. 1 gravity tempering chamber was empty, Chen Mo took his pills and went inside.

"Let's start with six times gravity this time."

Chen Mo rubbed his hands together, swallowed a level-four body tempering pill, and began to try to temper his blood.
