90: Chapter 90 Martial Arts Evolution: Xuanwu Armor!

Although Luofeng Fortress was still in a state of combat readiness, it was much better compared to previous days.

The reason was simple: Chen Mo and Su Qingyue had blown up Baiye City.

The original challenge mission had also been removed and officially renamed to "I'll Make You Baiye City Fly!"

The points of Chen Mos Squad had also jumped directly from five digits to six, though this time it didn't stir up any reaction.

Everyone was already used to it; there was no difference between the gap of a thousand-plus points and five digits, or a thousand-plus points and six digits.

In any case, they couldn't compete with them, so they just let it be.

Everyone ignored the outrageous point total of Chen Mos Squad and just buried their heads in completing their own missions.

Meanwhile, inside the medical department of Luofeng Fortress, Chen Mo touched the scar on his chest.

The burns on his back had mostly healed thanks to Wen Wan's Trauma Chronological Regression, but the puncture wound on his chest could not be perfectly repaired.

The power left behind by the Venerable still needed some time to completely dissipate, and only then would his chest be free of scars.

However, a small scar really didn't matter to Chen Mo; as long as it didn't affect normal combat, it was fine.

It was just that... Su Qingyue hadn't spoken for two whole days since waking up.

She had locked herself in the hospital room, doing nothing but eating and drinking.

"Sigh..."

Chen Mo pushed open the door to Su Qingyue's hospital room and sighed as he looked at her huddled under the quilt.

"It's just the hair on the back of your head that's gone."

"Look at me, I've become bald."

Chen Mo rubbed his shiny scalp. The previous massive explosion hadn't just roasted his back like char siu; all the hair on his body had also turned to ash.

Although Chen Mo had protected Su Qingyue and kept her from getting hurt, he couldn't protect her hair.

Su Qingyue poked her head out from under the quilt, and Chen Mo couldn't hold back a laugh.

"Pfft..."

"You're still laughing at me!"

Su Qingyue would rather have had her back roasted like char siu than have her hair burned off.

Chen Mo really couldn't help himself when looking at Su Qingyue's peculiar hairstyle.

How should he put it? Su Qingyue didn't need to do anything now, and her hair naturally formed twin tails.

Because apart from the two strands of hair on the top of her head, the rest had been burned away.

Even her eyebrows and eyelashes hadn't been spared, though he wasn't sure if the hair down there had been burned off.

In any case, Chen Mo himself had turned into a plucked chicken.

"Alright, alright, it'll grow back in a few days anyway."

"I'm relieved that you're alright. I won't disturb your emo moment~"

Chen Mo had just come to check on Su Qingyue's condition, and after confirming the girl was completely unscathed, he left the hospital room.

"What does a dense guy like you understand..."

Su Qingyue pouted. For a long-haired girl like her, hair was sometimes more important than her own life.

There was a day and a half left until the end of the National Joint Examination, and Chen Mo didn't plan on working hard for this remaining time.

The outcome was already set; he would definitely secure first place in the country this time.

Inside the training room, Chen Mo stretched his muscles and bones.

Many days had passed since returning from the Abyss, and he had been in a coma for at least half of that time.

The remaining conscious time had also been strictly restricted, and he absolutely couldn't move around recklessly.

This made Chen Mo very uncomfortable; he felt like his whole body was as stiff as if it had rusted.

"Let me see, this Martial Skill Evolution Card..."

Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Mo opened his system panel.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Mo decided to evolve his Turtle—no, his Xuanwu Fist.

Chen Mo looked at the attribute panel, which was emitting a dazzling light, his eyes full of anticipation.

[Xuanwu Fist evolution successful!]

[Added branch hard qigong: Black Tortoise Armor!]

[Black Tortoise Armor: A branch hard qigong of Xuanwu Fist, capable of projecting Qi and blood externally to form an indestructible hard armor outside the body!]

[Note: Black Tortoise Armor consumes 1% of Qi and blood per second, which can be reduced as the level increases!]

[Note: The hardness of Black Tortoise Armor will increase as the level increases!]

"..."

"Turtle shell?"

Chen Mo muttered to himself as the Qi and blood in his body began to surge.

His skin turned pure black at a speed visible to the naked eye; apart from his eyes, his other facial features disappeared and blended together.

Looking at his pitch-black body, Chen Mo reached out and knocked on the layer of black Qi and blood armor on his body.

"Good heavens, the hardness is not bad."

If Black Tortoise Armor was the armor he wore on the outside, then his skin was the soft inner armor.

One layer of armor and one layer of soft armor protecting the iron-like muscles underneath...

"Seems a bit redundant?"

Chen Mo scratched his chin, but only scratched the Black Tortoise Armor on his chin.

"Time to find someone to test this move~"

Dispersing the Black Tortoise Armor from his body, Chen Mo took out his phone and dialed a number.

A few minutes later, two sneaky figures appeared in the training field.

"Chen Mo, I've stolen the things you wanted for you!"

Lin Ye took a tube off his back; it was an anti-tank rocket launcher.

"And this, an anti-tank mine."

Shen Zhou pulled several large iron discs from his embrace and looked at Chen Mo with a strange expression.

"Bro, what do you need this stuff for?"

Lin Ye was somewhat excited. Were they going to do something big again?

Chen Mo didn't speak; he just found an open space and beckoned to the two of them.

"Come on!"

"Blast me!"

Chen Mo patted his chest, and black Black Tortoise Armor instantly wrapped around his body surface.

"?"

A question mark appeared over both their heads simultaneously. Had their captain awakened some new ability after being blown up?

"Hurry up, stop talking nonsense!"

"This thing consumes a lot of Qi and blood!"

Chen Mo urged them impatiently. Lin Ye didn't think too much about it, disengaged the safety, and fired an anti-tank rocket at Chen Mo.

Accompanied by a loud bang and dazzling fire, Chen Mo remained standing in place, unscathed and unmoved.

"Not bad..."
