High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 237 - 205: The New Wave Cuts Like a Blade, Crushing the Grandmasters’ Spirit

Chapter 237: Chapter 205: The New Wave Cuts Like a Blade, Crushing the Grandmasters’ Spirit

In the millennium since the birth of human martial arts, the number one in terms of qi and blood talent!

"Incredible, truly incredible, Su Mu, your talent in qi and blood is unprecedented!" Xiao Yun couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

"Talent, huh?"

Su Mu murmured to himself. To be honest, he was momentarily stunned upon seeing this set of data, as it exceeded his own expectations.

However, he didn’t think it was due to so-called talent, as talent played only a minimal role, having a negligible impact.

In the Qi Blood Secret Realm, he and Tantai Yan were trapped in the Giant’s Blood Cave, and Tantai Yan once fell into despair.

He alone drank up an entire pool of blood equivalent to that of a Grandmaster of the human Martial Saints.

In the face of dire straits, Su Mu used Future Simulation, experiencing death, losing vision, smell, and taste, and the right arm lost sensation. After paying a heavy price, he successfully created his first secret technique: Golden Essence Armor.

After creating the Golden Essence Armor, he was able to enter the Supreme Body Refining Technique Fixed Star Body Refinement. Only then could Su Mu catch a glimpse of the hope of dawn.

After surviving this ordeal, Su Mu himself couldn’t help but feel fortunate. If it weren’t for him obtaining the "Fixed Star Body Refinement", the two of them would have had no chance of leaving the Giant’s Blood Cave.

Tantai Yan felt as if a miracle had descended once again.

But it was not a miracle; behind it all was Su Mu’s endless blood, sweat, effort, and rock-solid will during cultivation.

Su Mu was grateful for obtaining the Fixed Star Body Refinement, but he didn’t know that for ordinary human martial artists, cultivating Fixed Star Body Refinement was essentially a path of self-destruction.

Because the flesh of the Relic Giant was inherently extremely powerful, human flesh was pathetically weak in front of the giant. It was almost impossible for human martial artists to cultivate this martial art, much less for a Fifth Level Martial Artist.

But Su Mu was a freak.

He chose the Third-Turned Refining Technique as one of his primary martial arts. The Third-Turned Refining Technique involves repeatedly refining the Qi Blood Bridge, the Five Viscera, and the Six Viscera — not only is this an extremely prolonged process, but during refining, one must endure inhuman pain and suffering, and without extraordinary willpower, there is absolutely no possibility of persisting.

This is also the key reason why the Third-Turned Refining Technique was overlooked, with no attention at the Musashi Hall of Shenjiang Martial Arts University over the years.

Yet, Su Mu not only persisted but felt it was insufficient. At the beginning of his cultivation, he manically used Condensed Blood instead of ordinary blood for refining.

This was nearly suicidal.

But Su Mu pushed through step by step, using his rock-solid will to fight his way out repeatedly with his injured flesh. His martial foundation exceeded his peers of the same level through repeated tempering, reaching a terrifying degree.

It was precisely this robust martial foundation that turned the impossible into possible, allowing Su Mu to successfully cultivate the Fixed Star Body Refinement with a human’s body.

Afterward, the transformed powerful flesh post–Fixed Star Body Refinement also, in turn, perfected the Third-Turned Refining Technique. Su Mu drank Flood Dragon Blood to complete his Five Viscera, surpassing the limits of the Third-Turned Refining Technique, reaching a realm even its original creators couldn’t attain.

Thus, Su Mu thoroughly established a perfect martial foundation unique and irreproducible to himself!

Reaching this point didn’t rely on the talent Xiao Yun mentioned. Su Mu’s face showed a touch of self-mockery, and his deep eyes grew more determined.

"There are no issues with the qi blood composition; it’s very pure, and no trace of any banned substances was detected..."

After calming down a bit, Xiao Yun and the other two stepped forward to carefully check the other test results. After confirming there were no issues, the three couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Next, we’ll just wait for the Combat Power Tester to arrive for the punch power measurement."

Soon after, the door to the testing room was knocked on. Outside, more than a dozen Sixth Level Martial Artists, their faces flushed and their necks bulging with veins, carried in a nearly new Combat Power Tester. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Did I see that right? Was that a Combat Power Tester just brought in?"

"What’s happening? Is it possible that Su Mu’s punch power exceeded the limits of the Punch Force Tester?"

"How could that be? You’re overthinking it."

Many participants looked toward the end of the testing room with eyes full of suspicion.

"How could it be..."

An examiner inside the testing room earlier murmured, his expression complex, filled with shock. The scene of that punch blowing up the instrument kept replaying in his mind.

The Combat Power Tester didn’t look much different from the Punch Force Tester, appearing more sophisticated, with an eye-catching red wall that had turned golden. Soon, the staff from the Martial Arts Association completed the installation of the Combat Power Tester.

"Su Mu, are you ready?"

"Yes."

Su Mu stood in front of the Combat Power Tester, took a deep breath, and inhaled the surrounding air into his lungs.

Thump, thump, thump.

The powerful heartbeat echoed, and amidst the raging flow of qi and blood, a golden blood silhouette reappeared.

"Martial Arts Golden Body? No, this is not the Martial Arts Golden Body!" Xiao Yun, seeing Su Mu in action for the first time, his face changed instantly the moment the golden body silhouette appeared.

After that, Su Mu clenched his right fist, a layer of golden light circulated around him, and after the essence blood ignited, it flowed through the limbs and hundreds of veins, with the second layer of the Secret of Power driven to the extreme in one instant.

In that instant, a vast pressure spread, and in a trance, the three seemed to see Su Mu transform into a real giant, the giant roaring angrily.

The moment the punch was thrown, the hair on their bodies stood on end.

Boom---

The fist wind formed a terrifying airwave, within which the three Grandmasters, led by Hong Lie, activated their qi and blood instinctively, with Xiao Yun even subconsciously stepping back half a step.

In the storm, only Su Mu’s figure stood firm, as imposing as a mountain.

As the airwave dissipated, the three’s breathing became extremely rapid, and they immediately looked at the Combat Power Tester’s screen.

At this moment, the numbers on the Combat Power Tester were fluctuating wildly.

In an instant, it broke through 300 and kept soaring. Seeing this, Hong Lie’s tightly clenched fists relaxed, and the worry in his heart was completely relieved.

This meant that everything Su Mu had done to blow up the Punch Force Tester was real.

The three hadn’t been in the testing room long, but the successive shock waves once made them feel somewhat unreal.

390!

The numbers on the instrument gradually slowed down, stopping near 390. Finally, the numbers on the instrument froze, displaying a set of bright yellow numbers.

Combat Power: 395

"Combat power 395?"

Su Mu looked puzzled. Although he didn’t know how combat power was calculated, this number seemed a bit low.

But behind him, Hong Lie and the other two were already in an uproar. Xiao Yun held his chest with one hand.

The shock he felt in this moment had exceeded the sum of what he’d experienced in the past few years, even the decades of his life.

Su Mu turned around, and the three of them saw his slightly furrowed brows. For a moment, Hong Lie and the others didn’t know how to speak. Did Su Mu actually think it was low?!

After a few seconds, it was Zhong Guoping who took a deep breath and spoke first.

"The combat power tester is different from the punch force tester. The combat power tester uses 1000KG punch force as a unit, equal to 1 combat power. It converts to mean your punch force is..."

"Three hundred ninety-five thousand kilograms, no wonder you kid could smash the instrument with one punch." Hong Lie looked incredulous.

"Monster, truly a monster. Are you really still human, kid?"

If it weren’t for the recent Qi and Blood test Su Mu underwent, the three would suspect the person in front of them was an unearthly Fierce Beast or a Giant disguised as a human.

The foundational punching power of a Grandmaster is 64,000KG, and now Su Mu had just punched out an astounding 395,000 right before them. Such striking power is terrifying, over six times that of a basic Grandmaster.

At this moment, Xiao Yun, Hong Lie, and Zhong Guoping’s gaze changed completely as they looked at Su Mu, as if seeing not a human but a humanoid monster.

Second Forging Grandmaster’s Qi and Blood, Grandmaster’s Qi Blood Purity, more than six times the Grandmaster’s punching power.

This was more than just clearing the Path of the Great Grandmaster; it was completely unimpeded. A Titled Grandmaster would likely pose no difficulty for Su Mu.

In other words, standing before them was a future Titled Grandmaster, perhaps even a Martial Saint!

"I see."

Su Mu suddenly realized, but he was a bit dissatisfied with this result because he just used the second layer of the Secret of Power.

The second layer of the Secret of Power was a fourfold burst. Without using the Secret of Power, his current punching power was about 100,000 kilograms, barely 1.6 times that of a Grandmaster.

"I’m currently at the Sixth Level Initial Stage, and the Three Flowers haven’t condensed... This isn’t my limit."

Su Mu thought to himself.

Subsequently, Su Mu quickly completed speed and other tests, but Xiao Yun and the other two were numb. Finally, Xiao Yun, the Chairman of Blue Star Alliance Guangshen Province, opened his mouth and said.

"Leader Hong, Chairman Zhong, congratulations, Guangshen Province is likely to produce not only a Titled Grandmaster but a future Martial Saint!"

When he finished speaking, Xiao Yun’s heart was excited but also a bit complicated.

The new waves of the Yangtze River surge forward, pushing the old waves onto the sand.

In front of a supreme genius like Su Mu, Xiao Yun, as a Grandmaster, suddenly felt deeply frustrated.

"Martial Saint, future Martial Saint..." Zhong Guoping and Hong Lie couldn’t help but mutter repeatedly, their eyes growing resolute.

Hong Lie looked at Zhong Guoping, and Zhong Guoping also looked at Hong Lie. As their eyes met, they instantly understood each other’s thoughts.

"Chairman Xiao, shall we have a talk outside?"

"Sure."

The three left the testing room and went to a secluded area.

Hong Lie spoke first, "Chairman Xiao, you and I were both born in Huaxia, raised in Huaxia, we are all Huaxia people."

In an instant, Xiao Yun’s expression became serious, and he nodded solemnly.

"The tree that stands out in the forest gets destroyed by the wind; Su Mu hasn’t become a Grandmaster yet, he needs time to grow. I hope your stance aligns with ours. Su Mu is the future of Guangshen Province, South China, and possibly the pillar of Huaxia’s future."

"That’s right, and that’s my thought as well. I hope today’s test results of Su Mu will not be uploaded to the Blue Star Alliance for now," Zhong Guoping stated directly.

Xiao Yun didn’t hesitate and spoke decisively.

"I understand what you mean. We are all Huaxia people. I will handle this matter."

"That’s good. I will report today’s incident about Su Mu separately to the higher-ups, and the fewer people who know, the better."

"Indeed."

In the face of significant matters, the three reached a consensus in an instant.

...

Flashes of sword light and knife light sparkled, blood light burst out.

Bang!

A towering and fierce grey bear fell.

"We did it, we succeeded!"

"That was close."

Ji Xiaoyan and Ling Xue embraced each other excitedly, just having survived an encounter with a Fifth Level Fierce Beast, one of the stronger bear-kind beasts, they both thought they were done for.

"The secret technique that Master taught us is so powerful; we never thought we could kill a Fifth Level Fierce Beast!"

"Indeed, this secret technique is very strong."

"I wonder if we will have the chance to meet Master again in the future. He must have a significant background!"

"He probably... will."

The two were filled with gratitude and admiration for Su Mu. Shortly after parting ways, Ji Xiaoyan and Ling Xue quickly noticed a significant surge in their strength out of nowhere.

They went to the Martial Arts Association for testing, and the results were shocking.

They were astounded to find that their Qi and Blood and Qi Blood Purity had increased drastically, especially the Qi Blood Purity, which almost doubled.

This resulted in a rapid enhancement of their strength.

Moreover, while comprehending the secret technique Su Mu left behind, they encountered something strange. The powerful secret technique seemed profound, yet they found it easy to grasp and quickly became familiar with it.

Even though they had just entered, there wasn’t much resistance when they practiced the technique, as if they had countless experiences in cultivation before.

"I remember today is the selection competition, and the global live broadcast should start soon."

"Then let’s deal with this big guy and head back."

"I heard that there are three Celestial Prides featured on the ranking list this time, and their battles will be very exciting."
