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

After setting their own goals, Chen Mo and the others returned to their training routine.

Two days later, Gu Feng successfully completed the tempering of his steel bones and entered the sixth level of the steel bone realm.

Ma Wanglin's progress was also rapid. The day after Gu Feng's breakthrough, she completed the tempering of her steel blood and broke through to the fifth level of the steel blood realm.

Eight hours after Ma Wanglin's breakthrough, which is now, Chen Mo's blood has also been tempered to its limit, stuck at ninety-nine and not moving.

After turning off the six times gravity, Chen Mo opened the system panel and purchased 1% progress of Perfect Steel Blood.

"Thankfully, the daily quests give a good amount of gold, otherwise it really wouldn't be enough..."

[Purchase successful. Congratulations, host, on completing the tempering of steel blood!]

【Perfect Steel Bone 1% Progress (7500 Gold) (Now Available)】

[Steel Blood Tempering Completed, Total Health Increased by 50%!]

"Total Qi and Blood volume increased by 50%?" Chen Mo was stunned for a moment. Was this 50% increase the same 50% he had imagined?

[Note: Host's base Qi and Blood value + (base value × 50%) = final Qi and Blood value]

"Ah, it's like a health-boosting version of the Death Hat from the Destroyer!"

The improvement in Steel Blood is quite terrifying. It's not just a one-time improvement, but a 50% additional boost whenever the amount of health and mana increases.

【Perfect Steel Blood: Activated with Qi and Blood, it increases attack power, speed, and cardiopulmonary function by 50%, consuming 100 Qi and Blood points per second】

"hiss..."

But when Chen Mo saw Perfect Steelblood's active skill, he was completely stunned.

This is insane! Aside from the high health consumption, Perfect Steel Blood's active skill is top-tier.

[Congratulations, host, on completing stage one of the tasks. Rewards have been issued. Please allocate your skill slots as needed.]

Just as Chen Mo was about to experience the feeling of perfect blood and qi activation, the system's announcement sounded again.

"Oh right, I still have this mission on my plate!"

Chen Mo slapped his thigh. Today could be described as a double celebration.

Opening the system panel, Chen Mo equipped Ragnarok into the newly unlocked skill bar.

Thus, a super numerical monster was born, combining immunity to control effects, ten-second invincibility, extremely high burst damage, and the ability to force a one-on-one fight.

"By the way, now that you've broken through to the next level, have all your attributes also improved?"

Thinking of this, Chen Mo opened his attribute panel.

Name: Chen Mo

【HP: 288796】

[Qi and Blood: 1390/154800]

Attack Power: 5975

Defense: 7920

【Mental Power: 500】

......

"Your Qi and Blood have improved so much!?" Chen Mo was surprised. Although he had expected a significant improvement, he did not expect it to more than double.

Tempering blood is different from tempering skin. Tempering skin gives the body an extra organ to store blood and qi, and a significant increase in blood and qi is a normal phenomenon.

Tempering blood improves the quality of qi and blood, but it doesn't significantly increase the total amount of qi and blood. In fact, it can even decrease the amount of qi and blood for some martial artists with low qi and blood quality.

But Chen Mo was different. Both the quality and total amount of his Qi and blood were greatly improved, which is one of the benefits of perfect steel blood.

With his current stats, he could easily take on a level seven Steel Marrow Realm martial artist one-on-one.

"This is totally a pure, enjoyable game!"

Chen Mo was already itching to get started. He hadn't had any real combat experience for a whole month, and he was determined to have a blast in the upcoming practical training!

But when he saw the second phase of the mission, he became discouraged again.

"well..."

Chen Mo sighed. It wasn't that he hadn't tried hard enough to master the Demon-Slaying Six-Hit Combo, but rather that the difficulty was simply too high.

This martial arts technique was used by Song Bin when he was at the seventh level of the Steel Marrow Realm. He is currently only a weak and helpless fifth-level Steel Blood Realm cultivator, except that his stats are slightly higher...

Even with diligent practice every day during this period, Chen Mo's limit is only the second company level, and there is still a long way to go to reach the fourth company level.

"Martial arts skills improve the fastest in actual combat."

However, Chen Mo has made great progress in the Cloud Step technique, and can now stay in the air for more than half an hour.

If you can stay in the air for more than 35 minutes continuously, you can be considered to have mastered the Cloud Step.

Chen Mo is not far from mastering the Cloud Step, and he will be able to do so before the actual combat training begins.

"Let's go and replenish our qi and blood first."

After getting up and stretching, Chen Mo changed into clean clothes and left the gravity tempering chamber.

At the entrance of the Qi and Blood Replenishment Room, Master Huang, who was tutoring his students, couldn't help but sigh when he saw Chen Mo.

"Little Chen Mo, you're coming here twice a day. Are you depleting your energy so quickly?"

"Don't rush the body tempering process. If the foundation is unstable, the difficulty of future breakthroughs will increase significantly."

"It's not that the old man doesn't want you to refine it, it's just that everything has its own laws, and you should go with the flow..."

Master Huang stopped talking mid-sentence. He pinched his brow and looked at Chen Mo, who had undergone a tremendous change, with a bewildered expression.

"You...have broken through to the Steel Blood Realm?"

"Yes, Master Huang, he just broke through today."

"I was the last one in our team to break through to the Steel Blood Realm. I'm starting to hold everyone back."

Chen Mo scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Alright, shut up. Go suck your life force."

Master Huang waved his hand. Why was he talking to this little pervert when he had nothing better to do?

He broke through to the Steel Skin level in just one afternoon after arriving at the training camp, and in less than a month, he broke through to the Steel Blood level.

What, this kid will become a grandmaster in another year or two, right?

Damn, even a rocket wouldn't be this fast!

Looking at the students I was mentoring, although they were quite talented, and one of them had even broken through to the Steel Blood Realm...

But why does it feel so uncomfortable?

I'm a little envious of that brat Song Bin; he managed to snag such a freakish genius...

...

Three days later, dark clouds covered the sky over the South Island, and shops along the street put up protective doors.

Inside the South Island operations command center, Song Bin frowned, seemingly troubled by something.

"Governor, there are eight hours left before the start of hurricane season. All combat positions have been deployed, and the coastal defenses have been completed."

"This hurricane may be about 15% stronger than in previous years, and tsunami preparedness plans have been activated."

"Thank you for your hard work. Keep monitoring the hurricane data."

Song Bin nodded, picked up his phone, and dialed the number for the Southern Training Camp.

He now has to be stationed at the South Island operations command center.

"It's time for these kids to experience what real fighting is like."

"I understand. I'll have the children head to the designated location immediately." Master Huang nodded and gave the order to act immediately.
