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

Song Bin led Chen Mo to a deserted beach.

"Chen Mo, I will now demonstrate the Demon-Slaying Six-Hit Halberd for you."

After receiving the Phoenix Beak Dragon Tooth Halberd from Chen Mo, Song Bin's demeanor underwent a complete 180-degree transformation.

Originally, Song Bin appeared to be very gentle, and even during their sparring session, he only exuded an aura of dominance.

But things are completely different now.

Song Bin exuded boundless killing intent, like a bloodthirsty tyrant.

"As I told you before, the Demon-Slaying Six-Hit Combo is a variation of the 'Chop' move in the basic combat technique. I figured it out when I was at the seventh level of the Steel Marrow Realm."

"Each strike is twice as powerful as the last, and the health and mana consumption also doubles."

"If this move is mastered, splitting mountains and cleaving seas will be no problem!"

"Watch closely, I will only use the minimum amount of energy required to activate the Demon-Slaying Six-Hit Halberd."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Bin raised the Demon-Slaying Six-Hit Halberd high and swung it towards the empty sea.

boom!

The wind howled, and the once calm sea began to become turbulent.

"Second round!"

With each continuous, raging strike of the Phoenix Beak Dragon Tooth Halberd in his hand, the power of the Demon-Slaying Six-Hit Halberd grew ever stronger.

Previously, the sea was merely turbulent, but now, a passage has appeared that allows one to see the seabed.

"The key to the Demon-Slaying Six-Hit Combo is to generate continuous power, one move after another like a surging wave."

"Triple combo!"

"..."

"The final blow, a six-hit combo!"

The moment the final strike of the Demon-Slaying Six-Hit Halberd landed, the sea was completely split in two, and even the seabed below shattered under the final blow.

After unleashing his final blow, Song Bin's demeanor returned to its former gentle state.

Returning the scalding hot Phoenix Beak Dragon Tooth Halberd to Chen Mo, Song Bin led him to sit on the rocks by the shore.

"So, what are your thoughts?"

"Awesome." Chen Mo couldn't find any other words to describe the Demon-Slaying Six-Hit Halberd. After thinking for a long time, he came up with these two words.

"I'm not asking you to criticize me, but rather whether you have any insights of your own."

Song Bin was both amused and exasperated after hearing Chen Mo's insights.

"Myself..." Chen Mo stared at the phoenix-beak dragon-tooth halberd in his hand for a long time without saying a word.

"I don't know, but it feels like I've grasped a certain feeling."

"But... that feeling comes and goes."

"That's enough." Song Bin nodded in satisfaction. Chen Mo's talent in halberds was even greater than he had imagined, as he had grasped some key points from just one observation.

"Alright, go back now. If you have any questions about the Demon-Slaying Six-Hit Halberd, feel free to ask me anytime."

"Also, don't forget to practice the Cloud Step. A martial artist with movement techniques and one without them are completely different species."

"But ultimately, martial artists still need to engage in real combat; mere practice is just for show, isn't it?"

Chen Mo scratched his head. Martial arts skills and movement techniques are important, but martial arts skills and movement techniques that have not been honed in actual combat seem to be of little use.

"Don't worry, you'll be busy in a while."

Song Bin smiled. The hurricane season was about to begin in just over twenty days. Hopefully, the kid would still be eager for real combat by then.

"Alright, let's go back now."

After a while, the sea breeze, which was over 50 degrees Celsius, blew in. Song Bin then grabbed Chen Mo by the collar and led him back to the training camp.

......

After watching Song Bin's personal demonstration, Chen Mo's Demon-Slaying Six-Hit Halberd improved rapidly.

Including the Cloud Step, as long as a large amount of Qi and blood is consumed, Chen Mo can stay in the air for more than ten minutes.

During this period, Chen Mo did not slack off in tempering his body. Every morning he practiced the Demon-Slaying Six-Hit Halberd and the Cloud-Stacking Step, in the afternoon he tempered his body, and in the evening he replenished his qi and blood.

The fulfilling days flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

"call......"

Chen Mo let out a long breath; he had gradually gotten used to the burning sensation brought about by the blood tempering.

Chen Mo opened the system panel and glanced at his progress in tempering his body.

[Body Tempering Progress: Skin 100% (Perfect Steel Skin), Blood (93.1%), Bones (0%), Bone Marrow (0%), Internal Organs (0%)]

"The blood tempering will be completed in two more days."

Chen Mo got up, turned off the six times gravity, changed his clothes, and left the gravity tempering chamber.

These days, not only is he making progress, but Gu Feng and the others are also making rapid progress.

Ma Wanglin has broken through to level five, which is the Steel Blood Realm.

Gu Feng is close to breaking through to the Steel Bone Realm, probably in the next couple of days.

"The progress is a bit slow. I thought I could finish tempering the bones before the end."

Stretching, Chen Mo decided to enjoy tonight's superfood feast.

But just then, He Miao's voice suddenly came through the miniature earpiece in his ear.

"Chen Mo, Instructor Song, tell everyone to go to the conference room now."

"What's wrong?" Chen Mo was taken aback. Had something happened?

"I don't know, Instructor Song didn't say, but I have some guesses."

After studying for this period of time, He Miao has gained a very good understanding of the composition and climate structure of the South Island.

"The South Island experiences hurricane season every year around this time, which is also a time of turbulent seas. I guess calling us to the conference room is related to this?"

"A riot has broken out in the sea!" Chen Mo's eyes lit up immediately.

A turbulent sea means that sea creatures will also rebel, and a large number of sea creatures will crash onto the land under the influence of the turbulent sea.

In other words...

He can handle steel now!

Without any hesitation, and without even replenishing his qi and blood, Chen Mo jogged towards the conference room.

Pushing open the conference room door, the four grandmasters were already seated at the head of the table, and all the other sixteen finalists were present except for him.

"Chen Mo, come and sit down. Our team's seats are here."

Gu Feng waved to Chen Mo, and Ma Wanglin, Yang Zuo, and He Miao were sitting beside him.

"You're here so early?"

After sitting down, Chen Mo glanced at the four people and asked.

"It's not that we arrived early, it's that Uncle Song saw you were still refining your blood and didn't call you, so he postponed the meeting for a while."

"Tsk tsk tsk, no one else gets this treatment, you're one of a kind."

"Now that everyone is here, let's officially begin the meeting."

Song Bin stood up, the lights in the conference room were turned off, and the projector turned on.

"After this period of intensive training, everyone here has greatly improved their skills."

"However! Martial artists are ultimately meant to fight. Simply training will only increase their strength in vain, turning them into mere punching bags."

"Therefore, the live-fire training will officially begin in a week with the arrival of hurricane season!"
