High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 137 - 126: An Impregnable Stance, Breaking Through 8 Floors in a Row

Chapter 137: Chapter 126: An Impregnable Stance, Breaking Through 8 Floors in a Row

Su Mu absorbed his insights and immediately stepped into the fourth layer.

Huh.

Su Mu let out a light sound of surprise; he found that the figures in the fourth layer were different. Originally white, they had turned pale blue.

Seeing this scene, Su Mu was even more eager, wondering how many drops of Condensed Blood he would receive this time—at least seven hundred, surely?

"At this pace, the sixth layer should provide enough Condensed Blood for the bridge reconstruction."

As Su Mu approached, the momentum released by the fourth figure surpassed the scope of the fourth level, with the fluctuation of Qi and Blood entering the tier of Fifth Level Martial Artists.

Su Mu started to feel some pressure; the figures on the first three layers used Extreme Shadow Body Technique, Surging Waves Saber Technique, and Blade Momentum.

"Next should be the Sword Nurturing Technique."

"Thus, it seems that the Grandmaster Tower assesses the potential of Sword Nurturing Technique to be above Surging Waves Saber Technique."

"Minor Success Blade Momentum, Secret of Power—those probably won’t appear so early."

He mused to himself; as the real person, he naturally understood that the combination of Surging Waves Saber Technique and Sword Nurturing Technique wasn’t as simple as one plus one equals two.

Sure enough, the figure’s long saber emitted invisible blade rays, exuding a chilling edge, and this time Su Mu understood the feeling others had when facing him, sensing a slight sting on the skin from several meters away.

"What weaknesses might the Sword Nurturing Technique have?"

Su Mu immediately activated the Insightful Eyes, a cold sensation flooding his pupils, discovering several red lines appearing on the saber’s body, but no new lines had appeared at the kidney area as he had anticipated.

The kidneys store essence, dominate metabolism, are the foundation of the innate, primarily affecting the martial artist’s energy, endurance, and enhanced continuous combat capability.

"It seems the flaw of Sword Nurturing Technique lies in the weapon used."

"If replaced with the Red Sun Saber, this flaw should be significantly reduced."

After activating Blade Qi, the blade momentum was amplified, significantly enhancing the attack capability, but the weakness was that a long saber that hadn’t undergone special forging was prone to destruction.

To achieve better results in addressing deficiencies, Su Mu suppressed his blade momentum to match the figure’s, but cautiously prepared for a full-force strike at any time.

This opportunity was paramount; he wouldn’t let minor issues risk the major benefits.

In the previous few layers, Su Mu noticed that the combat style and habits of the figures mirrored his own. He speculated that the opposing figure was a projection of his awareness, driven by his instinctive combat skills. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

At one point, Su Mu took a deep breath, then his sword momentum condensed firmly, their forms intersecting, as the figure disintegrated into ash.

Pale blue luminescence drifted into his brow, and instantly, Su Mu’s internal Qi and Blood surged with heat.

"Such pure Qi Blood Power!"

...

"Should be about twenty minutes faster than the previous layers, finally picking up speed!"

"It can’t just be hunger?"

By now it was noon, and the three outside were somewhat emotional seeing the blue light of the fifth layer. Xiaoyun from the Provincial Martial Arts Association inwardly commented.

To reach the fifth layer on the first challenge demonstrated that this chief from Shenjiang City held strength, aside from the notion that he seemed to have loitered for some intent in the tower.

Under normal circumstances, the fifth layer should be the endpoint; Fifth Level Martial Artists should struggle to surpass the sixth layer, the torment neared its end.

Sikong River just took one look and closed his eyes again, choosing to resume cultivation on the spot.

The elder from the Lin Family was there to gather information; although Su Mu’s behavior was odd, he meticulously noted down the time taken to clear each layer.

After a glance, he himself felt a bit speechless.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Chief of Three Cities Training in Gaoshan, Qianhai, and Shenjiang (the one who defeated Tantai Yan)]

[Time taken for the first layer: one hour and five minutes]

[Time taken for the second layer: one hour and four minutes]

[Time taken for the third layer: one hour and one minute]

[Time taken for the fourth layer: forty-two minutes]

[Time taken for the fifth layer: pending]

"The time seems to be... getting shorter."

In Yangcheng City District, Sikong Xia and Sikong Yu, the two sisters, were somewhat puzzled that their brother hadn’t messaged them by now, which shouldn’t be right.

"Second sister, did you notice then, the emblem on the elder’s chest appeared to be from the Lin Family; could it be that our brother went to spar with someone from the Lin Family?"

"Is it? Well, what you say, little sister, is quite possible. Never mind our elder brother, let him fight to his heart’s content."

"What if our brother loses?"

"He wouldn’t easily lose, even if the opponent was from the Lin Family," Sikong Xia spoke with confidence in her brother.

...

"The reward from the fourth layer was even more abundant than expected, a full eight hundred and fifty-three drops!"

In the fifth layer, the figure’s color deepened significantly; upon forming, it exuded an edge, as if not a figure but a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.

"The blade momentum is nearing minor success."

Not long ago, Su Mu’s blade momentum echoed that of these figures; before minor success, martial artists found it challenging to effectively control blade momentum, characterizing this stage as where prominence is showcased externally.

The closer to minor success the more evident the edge, distinguished by a qualitative difference.

At this moment, Su Mu realized a deeper understanding of Uncle Li’s talks on blade momentum realms.

"If this layer comprehends the Secret of Power, it should be stronger than I was when defeating Tantai Yan."

Su Mu’s breathing grew rapid, initiating combat shortly thereafter.

The opposing figure stepped forth, its form rapidly enlarging in Su Mu’s pupils, swinging Surging Waves Saber Technique’s First Form forcefully overhead.
