Chen Mo's hostility, which had appeared because of today's events, melted away bit by bit in the warm atmosphere.
But he still hadn't forgotten what he should do.
"Sooner or later, I'll punch that stinking bitch Zou Shuhua to death."
The hostility on Chen Mo's face flashed and was gone, but he quickly returned to normal.
"Before that, I still need to stack up more health points. I should stack at least five thousand before the college entrance exam..."
"Then, I'll punch that rotten trash Zou Shuhua to death."
...
A night passed in the blink of an eye.
At five in the morning, Chen Mo got up on time, put on his First High School uniform, slung his school bag over his shoulder, and walked towards Liang Yongsheng's Martial Hall.
He couldn't tell his family about being expelled yet. He could only make this matter public the day he got into a Martial Arts Academy.
Chen Mo's health points were already roughly the same as a First Level Martial Artist's, but he was still far behind in Qi and Blood.
Half an hour later, Chen Mo stopped in front of a spacious and bright storefront.
"This must be it."
Looking at the 'Eternal Life Martial Hall' sign above, Chen Mo pushed open the large door and walked in.
As soon as he walked in, Chen Mo heard a series of heavy thuds.
It was the sound of fists hitting flesh, and it sounded a bit painful.
"You're here?" Liang Yongsheng appeared behind Chen Mo at some point and patted his shoulder with his intact hand.
"Mm." Chen Mo nodded and didn't say much more.
"Come with me, I'll introduce you to everyone now."
Liang Yongsheng walked ahead, while Chen Mo followed behind him.
After passing through two more large doors, a training ground covering at least a thousand square meters appeared before Chen Mo's eyes.
"Brothers, quiet down for a moment, I want to introduce you to a young brother."
Liang Yongsheng shouted in his powerful voice.
In the field, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards Chen Mo in unison.
"Starting today, this young brother of mine will be training here at our Eternal Life Martial Hall. Everyone, please look after him a bit."
"Also, this young brother was expelled from First High School, but he still has to take the college entrance exam in thirty-six days. You all should understand what I mean, right?"
"Don't hide what little you have in your pockets. Take out what should be taken out and help this young brother more."
Liang Yongsheng's voice echoed throughout the training ground, but for a moment, no one spoke.
"Kid, why were you expelled?"
Soon, a burly man at least two meters tall asked loudly from the ring.
"Someone looked down on me, and I crippled him with one punch. It turned out that person was the principal's relative."
Chen Mo had nothing to hide, after all, he would be spending the next thirty-plus days here.
"Good kid, looks like your strength isn't weak." The burly man's eyes lit up, and he beckoned to Chen Mo.
"My name is Tian Xingxing, come up and spar with me."
Chen Mo narrowed his eyes as he looked at this burly man's health points of up to two thousand seven hundred and attack power of 80.
"Don't be scared, I just want to see how strong this courageous young brother is. I definitely won't bully you."
Tian Xingxing thought Chen Mo was afraid of him and quickly explained.
"Alright, then let's spar."
Chen Mo's lips curved up. This Tian Xingxing had two thousand seven hundred health points, and he could stack Heart of Steel on him at least ten times.
This would guarantee an increase of 230 health points.
Heart of Steel's passive ability has a thirty-second cooldown. Calculating based on ten stacks, Chen Mo would have to last at least five minutes against Tian Xingxing.
"Little Tian, you're a Second-level Martial Artist, don't bully people, okay?"
Liang Yongsheng was somewhat exasperated. His Martial Hall was full of battle maniacs, and they would definitely test the level of any newcomers.
"Chen Mo, don't push yourself too hard, just stop when you've made your point."
Seeing that Chen Mo really planned to spar with Tian Xingxing, Liang Yongsheng could only give a word of advice.
"Don't worry, it's not certain who will be knocked down first."
Chen Mo stretched his muscles and bones, raised his foot, and walked onto the ring.
"Good kid, you've really got guts!" Tian Xingxing's eyes lit up. What he liked most were young people with enough courage.
Thinking back to when they were in the border suppression army....
"Thinking too far." Shaking his head, Tian Xingxing began to size up the young man in front of him.
His Qi and Blood were very thin, but he looked quite sturdy.
He's a good prospect!
Tian Xingxing almost instantly approved of Chen Mo.
"Do you need me to go easy on you?" Tian Xingxing threw a set of protective gear to Chen Mo and also put on a pair of boxing gloves himself.
"I don't need this stuff." Chen Mo threw the protective gear aside and assumed a basic combat stance.
"But if you could let me hit you once, that would be great."
Saying that, Chen Mo pushed off the ground with force, and his entire body shot out.
Tian Xingxing put his hands on his hips and chuckled as he waited for Chen Mo's fist to land on him.
In his opinion, how could a young man not even eighteen years old possibly hurt him?
Daring to attack a strong person was already a significant win.
Clang!
Chen Mo aimed a punch at the charging mark that appeared on Tian Xingxing's body, letting out a pleasant crisp sound.
【Dealt 196 damage! Maximum health permanently increased by 23!】
"Holy crap!" This punch directly knocked off nearly 6% of Tian Xingxing's health. He now only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
"Good kid, you've really got strength!"
Tian Xingxing endured the pain, raised his head, and said with an appreciative look.
"I said I don't need you to go easy, you can't blame me if you didn't listen."
Chen Mo grinned. His current health points were just one step away from four digits.
"This stinking kid is quite arrogant!"
Tian Xingxing suddenly glared, and an old-fashioned punch shot towards Chen Mo's ribs.
With a dull thud, Chen Mo successfully raised his knee to block the punch before being hit!
【Defense successful! Received normal damage, Health -60!】
Chen Mo didn't feel good after this punch either. The gap between him and Tian Xingxing was simply too large.
One was a student who wasn't even a Martial Artist, while the other was a battle-hardened Second-level Martial Artist. The difference could be described as heaven and earth.
Chen Mo frowned. It was completely impossible for him to directly confront Tian Xingxing.
His base attack power was only 2. He would tire himself out before he could defeat Tian Xingxing.
Chen Mo's best option now was to kite, kite until the cooldown of 【Gigantic Devour】 was ready!
Below the ring, everyone watched the fight between Chen Mo and Tian Xingxing, clicking their tongues in wonder.
"This young man is alright, he actually took a punch from Lao Tian and is still standing."
"I've experienced Lao Tian's heavy punch, it almost made me vomit with one hit."
"This young brother's physical quality is really tough, no wonder Liang Ge brought him to the Martial Hall."
Listening to the discussions of the brothers beside him, Liang Yongsheng unconsciously revealed a smile on his face.
It seemed he hadn't misjudged Chen Mo.
This young man was indeed a genius!
