High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 266 - 228: Sequence, Missions, and the Ten Three-Flower Method

Chapter 266: Chapter 228: Sequence, Missions, and the Ten Three-Flower Method

Leader Zhao Dong had just left, and Hong Lie arrived right afterward.

At the entrance of the Musashi Hall, Hong Lie paused for a moment when he saw the old man, his heart skipped a beat, and he respectfully performed a military salute.

"Old Leader."

Zhao Dong, still in the car, wore a broad smile and waved his hand.

Hong Lie stepped forward, and Zhao Dong gently patted Hong Lie’s shoulder, transmitting a message through spiritual power.

It took a long while after the old man left for Hong Lie to snap out of it.

Hong Lie was still in the new recruit stage, while the old man was already a General Level leader in the Southern War Zone, and Hong Lie was personally promoted by Zhao Dong—a leader of several decades.

The old leader had just said meaningfully:

"Xiaohong, you did well this time; you’ve truly brought a glimmer of light back to the Southern War Zone and even to the Huaxia Military Department."

"This Su Mu, very good!"

The old leader now seemed amiable, but whenever Hong Lie recalled the past, he would feel a chill—even now, the old leader was like the embodiment of a devil in his eyes.

But time spares no one, just like withered grass in autumn; as the years weigh heavy, even the old leader has grown kindlier.

Yet, one thing remains unchanged: the old leader rarely gave high praise, especially since it was his first meeting with Su Mu!

Giving such a high evaluation the first time, as a beacon for the Southern War Zone and Huaxia Military Department, was exceedingly rare.

"That Su Mu really knows no peace."

Hong Lie sighed with a hint of satisfaction and pride on his face.

Filled with deep curiosity, Hong Lie quickly entered the Musashi Hall and brushed past Su Mu who was on his way out.

"Was that bell sound caused by you?"

"Bell sound?"

"Never mind, what did you do just now?"

"I went to the Weapon Cultivation Room."

"You passed the third stage?"

"Yeah."

Looking at Su Mu, Hong Lie couldn’t help but recall the time he asked about this kid’s combat strength and continued to inquire, "Tell me the final results."

"I’m still 5% short of completing the fourth stage."

What?!

How much?!

Only 5% left for the fourth stage?!

Hong Lie thought he had prepared himself after meeting the old leader, but his psychological defenses were shattered in an instant.

"This Su Mu, very good!" The old leader’s words echoed in his ears.

At that moment, Hong Lie understood the old leader’s joy, though he himself did not have the old leader’s composure; his heart was having a hard time keeping up.

With Dragon Ascension and being taken as a disciple by a Martial Saint, followed by achieving a combat power of thirteen thousand, and now almost mastering the Microscopic Blade Technique?

An unaccomplished Grandmaster in the Sword Dao Grandmaster?

Little did they realize, even the old leader had been startled earlier, holding even higher expectations for Su Mu in his heart.

In the eyes of the old leader, Su Mu appeared to be the foremost genius in the contemporary Sword Dao!

...

Musashi Hall was not a place for conversation; the bell quickly attracted a large crowd of onlookers, especially with the news spreading about the appearance of One-Slash Asura, making the hall a hotspot.

Hong Lie accompanied Su Mu to his dormitory.

As they entered the third dormitory building, Su Mu’s expression briefly turned slightly awkward.

Hong Lie first took out a Space Ring.

"What’s this?"

"This is your first batch of resources for the Quasi-First Level Sequence, sufficient for three months. You can subsequently collect them from the Battlefield Logistics Department at any time, and the resources you leave unclaimed will accumulate."

Su Mu took the ring, and with a thought, his spiritual power scanned its contents.

With spiritual power, he could see the contents of the Space Ring much more clearly and in detail. Previously, Su Mu had to ingeniously use Qi and Blood to open the Space Ring, which was much less clear compared to using spiritual power.

"No wonder it’s the spiritual power that a Sixth Level Martial Artist can initially grasp!"

The Space Ring had a ten-cubic-meter space—not small—inside were two jade containers, filled with Spirit Marrow, with each container holding about a hundred pounds; meaning there was two hundred pounds of Spirit Marrow, equivalent to two hundred million low-grade spirit stones or two million upper-grade spirit stones.

Next to the Spirit Marrow were twenty small porcelain bottles, all containing Grandmaster-level elixirs, each bottle usually containing twenty-five pills.

Su Mu wasn’t very familiar with the price of Grandmaster-level elixirs, but he knew a higher quality Sixth Level Elixir cost around five million low-grade spirit stones.

Grandmaster-level elixirs were at least several times the price of Sixth Level Elixirs, so the value of the elixirs in the ring started at millions of upper-grade spirit stones.

Besides the elixirs, there were also spirit stones, but no lower or middle-grade, only upper and top-grade; not many of these, with about fifty thousand upper-grade spirit stones and a pile of five thousand or so top-grade spirit stones.

"Right, your ring originally contained Fierce Beast Flesh, including Grandmaster-level Fierce Beast Flesh, which you can consume directly at the War Zone cafeteria, or extract it anytime."

"Once your First Level Sequence is officially approved, your monthly cultivation resources will increase, including special resources, and every ten years you can exchange for a Grandmaster Martial Art for free, available for exchange at places like War Zones, the Martial Arts Association, or Saint Martial University."

"Aside from the Five Major War Zones, places like the Martial Arts Association or Saint Martial University’s Musashi Hall will offer you unconditional access to martial arts classics below the Third Stage Grandmaster, but you mustn’t disseminate them."

"Similarly, in weaponry, you can select a Grandmaster Weapon, but you only get one chance."

"However, your current access at the Martial Arts Association should be open to the Ordinary Grandmaster level, so afterward, you can have a look at the Armory."
