High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 251 - 214: Quasi-Grade 1 Sequence, Martial Saint’s Trial

Chapter 251: Chapter 214: Quasi-Grade 1 Sequence, Martial Saint’s Trial

"I am Sikong Zhi, the current Governor of South China."

"In every generation there are talents that excel, and I am very glad that South China has produced another Dragon Ascending Pride."

"Su Mu, first of all, congratulations on defeating a hundred competitors to win the Guangshen Province Selection Championship, and now standing atop the Huaxia Celestial Pride List. Huaxia Dragon Ascension!"

"Hello, Governor Sikong."

Sikong Zhi extended his hand, and as they shook hands, flashlights flickered. Not only the photographers on stage but also designated office staff were responsible for taking pictures and recording the entire event.

Moreover, the entire crowd was extremely excited at the moment. The figures before them were the Governor of South China and the Dragon Ascending Pride, probably the greatest figures they would ever witness in their lifetime!

Instantly, many people pulled out their phones, either for selfies or to record videos, which they kept in their albums or shared in their social circles, flaunting across various platforms.

"Are you the family of One-Slash Asura? Can we take a picture together?"

At this moment, someone couldn’t help but ask Miaomiao and her daughter Xiaoyue and others.

"Sure," Miaomiao nodded with a smile.

"Alright, thank you so much. You must be Madam Su, you and your daughter are so beautiful, I thought you were two big celebrities."

The audience soon surrounded Miaomiao and others, casting extremely envious glances.

After the handshake, Sikong Zhi’s assistant came over and handed a bank card, something that Su Mu was very familiar with by now.

"This card contains fifty million upper-grade spirit stones. Although it’s not much, it’s a little token of goodwill from the South China Governor’s Mansion."

Su Mu himself remained calm. The treasure vault of the Fire Flood Dragon was nearly ten times this amount, and currently, Su Mu did not lack spirit stones.

However, when he finished speaking, the audience collectively felt a twitch in their eyelids, followed by rapid breaths and a series of gasps that echoed around.

Fifty million upper-grade spirit stones!

That’s just a token gesture?!

Converted into low-grade spirit stones, it’s a whopping five billion low-grade spirit stones, and rounding it up, it’s ten billion!

"Did I hear that right, fifty million upper-grade spirit stones, and that’s just a small token?"

"I couldn’t earn that much in ten, no, a hundred, or even a thousand lifetimes."

"Otherwise, can you compare to One-Slash Asura Su Mu, who is a Dragon Ascending Pride? Who are you? For such a great figure, this is just a small token."

Someone spoke up, but their tone and expression could not hide their amazement and envy.

Yet this was just an appetizer. Soon everyone understood why fifty million upper-grade spirit stones were just a small token.

"Su Mu, now I announce as Governor of South China, from this moment, you will be a Quasi-First Level Sequenced Martial Artist of Huaxia, receiving treatment and privileges equivalent to a Grandmaster."

"You will receive a massive allocation of national resources. This is not only an honor but also a responsibility. With greater power comes greater responsibility. I hope you do not slack and continue to work hard..."

The reason it is a Quasi-First Level Sequence is that the importance of the First Level Sequence is significant, and even the Governor of South China cannot make this decision solely. He needs to apply to the Huaxia Martial Arts Association Headquarters, then it must be formally approved by the Imperial Capital.

But the list has already been submitted through special channels by Sikong Zhi, and this matter is as good as settled, only requiring procedural completion.

Quasi-First Level Sequence!

The Third Level Sequence was already a level unattainable for most in their lifetimes, let alone the Quasi-First Level Sequence. Ordinary rewards like houses and luxury cars had no meaning for martial artists of this level.

So Sikong Zhi didn’t propose rewards like houses or luxury cars, as they were meaningless.

The audience was buzzing with discussion, yet few truly understood the real significance, while Huangfu Xue from the Huangfu Family looked incredulously shocked.

She had come merely to watch Su Mu defeat Lin Langtian, and to perhaps celebrate winning the selection championship.

Unexpectedly, Su Mu gave everyone present several unimaginable surprises.

First, defeating a hundred competitors, then Dragon Ascending, and finally becoming a Quasi-First Level Sequence!

Any one of these alone would be enough to shake South China.

"Dragon Ascending, Quasi-First Level Sequence, Su Mu truly is an unparalleled monster," Huangfu Xue couldn’t help but utter in amazement.

The entire process of crowning Su Mu as a Dragon Ascending Pride and awarding him the Quasi-First Level Sequence was also broadcast globally, and the impact felt by the audience watching through the lenses was no less than that of the live audience.

In the Imperial Capital, at the Huaxia Broadcasting Main Station, the people in the South China Control Room were almost going crazy.

"We’ve broken through, shattered previous records, set new highs!"

"Dragon Ascending, Quasi-First Level Sequence, this is madness!"

At this moment, Bai Ji completely lost control of his emotions, his entire body trembling uncontrollably from extreme excitement.

In South Mountain City, at the Hunter Association.

"Master, Dragon Ascended?"

"And bestowed with the Quasi-First Level Sequence, directly enjoying Grandmaster treatment and privileges, this is wonderful!"

"Truly worthy of being Master!"

Ji Xiaoyan and Ling Xue in the association were overjoyed, holding immense admiration for Su Mu, genuinely feeling delighted for him. At this moment, they didn’t notice.

All eyes in the association on the two had completely transformed.

"These two are Su Mu’s disciples, don’t ever provoke them in the future!"

Shenjiang Martial Arts University.

Today, the principal organized the whole school to watch the selection competition on the playground. Since it was a rest day, it was thought there wouldn’t be many students coming, but unexpectedly, the playground was packed in an instant, making it hard to even find a place to stand.

At this moment, the entire scene was in an uproar, with many people unable to control their emotions, turning into monkeys, waving their arms and legs, and even howling continuously.

But no one came out to stop it, because the school authorities were stunned, and many even joined in, all shouting Su Mu’s name.

"Principal Su ascended the Dragon! Well done!"

"Hiss, am I dreaming? Am I in the same school as someone who has ascended the Dragon? We were even classmates?"

"Fatty, hit me once to see if I’m dreaming right now."

Slap.

The person beside quickly obliged.

Immediately, someone gasped, covering their mouth with one hand. Even after getting hit, there was no complaint, instead, there was extreme joy.

"It’s real, everything is real, this is crazy! Principal Su, I have been your fan for ten years, long live Principal Su!"

...

"Su Mu, I have one more thing to discuss with you privately, come with me."

"Alright."

Watching the two figures leaving, Hong Lie’s expression was somewhat complicated. He vaguely guessed what Governor Sikong wanted to discuss privately with Su Mu.

He couldn’t help but sigh softly.

The Southern War Zone already paid much attention to Su Mu, yet everyone still underestimated him.

Who would have thought this guy would face a hundred opponents alone in the selection competition and ascend the Dragon instantly!

Now, this real Dragon, Su Mu, may not be bound to the Southern War Zone anymore.

Because no one can resist such a temptation...

Zhong Guoping, noticing this scene from the corner of his eye, didn’t feel much schadenfreude at the moment, and his expression showed a trace of complexity. Su Mu’s rise was indeed too swift.

Entering the sight of those giants overlooking the mountains too soon, for Su Mu personally, it’s undoubtedly a great opportunity, but for Huaxia, it’s not necessarily all good.

In a resting room.

"The matter I’m about to discuss with you will present you with a monumental opportunity."

A monumental opportunity after ascending the Dragon?

Su Mu’s eyes narrowed, listening intently.

"The Qingfeng Martial Saint has taken an interest in you, and he is considering taking you as his apprentice..."

"Honestly, I envy your fortune, but before that, he has a small test for you."

"If you complete it, you will soar to new heights and become his only direct disciple at present. The weight of being a Martial Saint Disciple is beyond your imagination," Sikong Zhi couldn’t hide the envy in his tone.

After speaking, a spiritual light flashed in Sikong Zhi’s hand, and two letters appeared, which he handed to Su Mu.

"Open and take a look."

The first anonymous letter had only one line of flowing script on the old, yellowed paper: Defeat any one of the top ten on the Grandmaster List before becoming a Grandmaster.

Su Mu paused, frowning slightly.

Huaxia’s three lists consist of the Celestial Pride List, the Grandmaster List, and the Quasi Martial Saint List. This Grandmaster List is one of the three. Back then, after defeating the Alien Royal Family’s Nanu in the Qi Blood Secret Realm, he barely made it onto the Celestial Pride List, ranking at the bottom as the hundredth. The difficulty is imaginable.

By extrapolating from the Celestial Pride List, a Grandmaster on this list is probably a Third Forging powerhouse; the top ten might even be Fourth or Fifth Forging, or terrifying Martial Arts Grandmasters!

The strength of such Martial Arts Grandmasters is probably above ordinary Great Grandmasters.

To make someone who hasn’t become a Grandmaster defeat such strong opponents, what is the Qingfeng Martial Saint’s intention?

To deliberately make things difficult for him?

Otherwise, why propose an almost impossible challenge?

Sikong Zhi observed Su Mu’s expression and nodded silently, acknowledging Su Mu’s composure, then spoke timely.

"You don’t have to complete all of it; you only need to accomplish one of the tests."

"Why don’t you open the second letter and see?"

Considering the difficulty of the first test, Su Mu felt there was no need to waste time opening the second one. He had no doubt that the second letter might instruct him to assassinate a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

However, a trace of curiosity flashed in Su Mu’s mind as he vaguely sensed a hint of encouragement in the Governor of South China’s tone.

Could it be that the Qingfeng Martial Saint is in good spirits, and the first letter is just pure mischief?

The real test might lie in the second letter...

Thinking this, Su Mu tore open the second letter.
