High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 119 - 112: A Grandmaster at 35—Did You Just Chop a Grandmaster Weapon?

Chapter 119: Chapter 112: A Grandmaster at 35—Did You Just Chop a Grandmaster Weapon?

Huangfu Tian, the Celestial Pride of the First Saint Martial University.

Born into the Huangfu Family, a martial arts family in Zhejiang Province, an Innate Speed Talent Martial Artist, gifted from birth, he encountered almost no bottlenecks before reaching the Grandmaster Realm.

At fifteen, he tempered his bones thrice to advance to a First Level Martial Artist.

In the following five years, he continuously broke through five realms, advancing at an astounding pace of one level per year, reaching a Sixth Level Martial Artist at just twenty years old, causing a sensation in the South China Region, even in Huaxia.

Until reaching the Grandmaster Realm, this Celestial Pride, Huangfu Tian, encountered his first cultivation bottleneck. He chose to travel on foot across Huaxia, including Shenjiang City.

Upon his arrival in Shenjiang City, Huangfu Tian directly triggered a Martial Saint’s Will left by Martial Saint Li Lang inside a stone lion.

Everyone was stunned at that moment, as it was the first time a Martial Artist below the Grandmaster Realm had triggered it since Master Li Lang gifted the stone lion.

However, upon regaining their senses, many felt ashamed that the Martial Saint’s Will, gifted by the Martial Saint, was triggered by an outsider.

Ten years later, Huangfu Tian achieved the realm of Seventh Level Martial Arts Grandmaster, a realm that many can never reach in their lifetimes. It took him only twenty years to reach this step, naturally causing another sensation.

Five years later, at thirty-five, Huangfu Tian became an Eighth Level Martial Arts Grandmaster. A Great Grandmaster at thirty-five once again stirred the martial arts circle, everyone knowing he would be a strong contender for the next Martial Saint.

Li Yue witnessed Huangfu Tian’s rise; that year, Li Yue had just entered the Grandmaster realm while Huangfu Tian was a Sixth Level Martial Artist.

But now, Huangfu Tian had long surpassed him, and Li Yue remained stagnant, with little improvement in cultivation.

As his thoughts drifted back, Li Yue’s face showed a hint of emotion.

Yet, now another person emerged, having also triggered the Martial Saint’s Will below the Grandmaster Realm, just like Huangfu Tian.

One was renowned at a young age, advancing triumphantly as a Celestial Pride.

The other was struggling painstakingly, perhaps a late bloomer.

At present, Su Mu couldn’t compare to Huangfu Tian, but after Huangfu Tian, he was the second to trigger the Martial Saint’s Will.

Most importantly, Su Mu was from Shenjiang City!

This made Li Yue have higher expectations for Su Mu.

"Finally, I can tell you that the Grandmaster who will guide you is me, come to the Shenjiang City Martial Arts Association when you are ready."

"Okay, thank you, President Li Yue."

...

"Huangfu Tian?"

After Li Yue left, Su Mu murmured to himself as a token appeared in his hand, engraved with the characters "Huangfu."

He speculated that this Huangfu Tian might be related to Huangfu Xue, possibly from the same martial arts family.

From the expression Li Yue showed when mentioning this person, it was certain that he was extremely strong.

However, at the moment, this had little to do with Su Mu. The path must be taken step by step; as long as it’s firm, one will eventually meet at the mountain peak.

Today, the whole family was filled with joy. Everyone had a little to drink, and the old man couldn’t help but inquire first, so Su Mu briefly talked about the Three Cities Training Camp.

"Every participant is a genius from various bases?"

"No, according to you, Su Mu, they are not just geniuses from the base but geniuses from the city!" Miaomiao’s beautiful eyes sparkled, making the whole family excited.

Her brother-in-law and sister-in-law exchanged glances, their faces showing shock and relief; they were thankful they had earlier apologized, never expecting Su Mu would later soar to such heights.

Deep into the night, Su Mu held Miaomiao as he fell into a deep sleep; it was the first restful sleep he had in two months, as he had spent most of the camp cultivating.

The next day, the village still couldn’t be calm, for the beast tide rewards followed soon after.

Seeing the three most powerful figures from the Linjiang base again, the villagers of East Village were somewhat indifferent, having witnessed grand scenes the day before.

"Su Mu, in recognition of your huge contribution to this beast tide, we three represent the Linjiang base to reward you."

"The Linjiang base will reward you with five million low-grade Spirit Stones."

"And appoint you as the Honorary Vice-President of the Linjiang Base Martial Arts Association Branch, with monthly benefits and stipends equal to the President."

"The Linjiang Base Martial Arts Hall will be fully open to you, allowing you to borrow any Martial Arts Classics at any time."

"As the top of the Three Cities Training Camp, the Blue Star Alliance Talent Competition’s domestic preliminaries will begin in two months, and you are the hope of the Linjiang base and even Shenjiang City. We hope you can go further." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"We wish you flourishing martial fortunes!"

The Honorary Vice-President of Linjiang Martial Arts Association.

"Our village has another big figure now."

"Jiang Miaomiao is the director of the Central Library, now another Vice-President emerges!"

"The Jiang Family really produces talents, Teacher Jiang must be proud."

Upon hearing this, the villagers of East Village could no longer remain calm, as Su Mu had leaped to become a significant figure in the Linjiang base.

Many villagers, limited by their views, didn’t realize that Su Mu did not value the title; rather, the title was more about the three from Luo Cheng trying to strengthen their ties with Su Mu’s family.

Although Su Mu didn’t care for it, the Jiang family had settled in Linjiang for generations. The Vice-President benefits and powers could be taken over by Miaomiao, which was a decision made by the three from Luo Cheng after a temporary discussion the previous day, not originally included in the rewards.

They knew rewarding Su Mu materially wouldn’t matter to him, as he had long been accustomed, and they couldn’t match the rewards from the city the previous day.

After the beast tide, Su Mu planned to stay home for a few days and enjoy time with his family, but the village remained lively, with many relatives he hadn’t heard from calling and requesting to visit.

Moreover, people from the town and city also came with gifts in hand.

The Jiang family courtyard was about to be trampled down.

On this day, Su Mu spoke to his daughter Xiaoyue about some cultivation matters, while Miaomiao also listened intently, with a blush rising on her face, causing Su Mu to be slightly puzzled.

"Su Mu, please go on. Can’t I listen as well?"

After the beast tide, Miaomiao, who didn’t like cultivation, immediately realized that she also needed some strength. Su Mu was able to make it once, but that doesn’t mean he can always come back in time.

Moreover, for minor issues in the future, Miaomiao hopes to solve them herself, rather than always relying on Su Mu to return and resolve them, which would be a burden to him.

And as Miaomiao watched Su Mu grow stronger and more dazzling step by step, she felt a little anxious, even though she knew Su Mu was not that kind of person.

But she couldn’t afford to fall too far behind, she also had to improve herself!

That night, Miaomiao took the initiative to share her thoughts with Su Mu. Su Mu was visibly pleased and affirmed, "Miaomiao, your desire to get stronger is a good thing. I support you!"

That night, based on Miaomiao’s situation, Su Mu carefully developed three cultivation plans, ranging from easy to difficult, and one focusing solely on intensive cultivation, also listing which elixirs to buy.

At the same time, Su Mu left behind several kilograms of spirit marrow and quite a few third and fourth level elixirs.

"This spirit marrow, Miaomiao, you must dilute it a hundred times before consuming it. Make sure to remember this point."

"This is the Vice President token. Keep it with you. Currently, Xiaoyue seems very interested in cultivation. You can take Xiaoyue to the Martial Arts Hall at the base when you have time, but don’t force it."

"Mmm, I understand. I will definitely work hard."

"I believe in you."

That night, the two of them shared an intimate experience.

Two days later, Miaomiao saw Su Mu off at the airport. Su Mu’s lips curled slightly, recalling how Miaomiao couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when leaving the village, as if thinking, "Finally, some peace and quiet."

"Xiaoyue, make sure to listen to your mom from now on."

Su Mu gave his wife and daughter a final hug and walked into the airport. After his wife and child left, Su Mu quickly activated coordinate transmission.

"Teleportation is so convenient, it’s a pity it’s only for a month."

...

"Teacher Su, when did you come back?"

Back at the school, Su Mu first went to the Forging Academy, where he ran into Teacher Lin at the entrance.

"I just returned today."

"I feel like I haven’t seen you, Teacher Su, for quite some time."

They chatted for a bit. At this point, the news hadn’t completely spread, so Teacher Lin was unaware of the training camp, assuming Su Mu was immersed in cultivation as before.

Bang bang.

"Come in."

"Teacher, I’m back."

Wang Shuheng noticed Su Mu and immediately stood up from the Inscription Platform, his face brimming with joy and pride, "Finally, our top student from the Three Cities has returned."

"Teacher, you’re flattering me." Su Mu could tell his teacher was joking, having spoken with him over the phone days ago.

"Hahaha, I’m speaking the truth. You have no idea how envious Li Yue sounded when he mentioned you these past two days. Overall, you did well this time."

"Honestly, I didn’t expect you to end up taking the top spot."

"I owe my ability to achieve this to you, Teacher."

"Hmm?"

"The advice you gave on countering Spiritual Talents and how the Red Sun Saber was very useful during the training camp."

Wang Shuheng, who often joked about Su Mu flattering him, simply laughed heartily this time, clearly in a great mood. He patted Su Mu’s shoulder with a serious expression.

"And another important matter, I must thank you for saving Yuan Cheng’s life. That old fellow is still only focused on his research."

"He said he must treat you to a meal as a thank you. If you ever go to South China Martial Arts University, reach out to him. Here is his business card."

"Teacher, it was my duty."

Wang Shuheng briefly hesitated, avoiding the topic of veggies. To him, this matter requires time, and it would take years to see even preliminary results, and they’re far from guaranteed. It’s best to discuss this later.

"Where’s Miaomiao?"

"Mengmeng went to find Little One. Supposedly, Little One has some talent in alchemy, and Mengmeng mentioned she concocted several batches of second level elixirs recently. She’s preparing to apply for the second level alchemist qualification at the Shenjiang City Elixir Medicine Association."

"In a few days, they plan to go to Shenjiang City together. Since you’ve returned, you should join them."

"Sure." Su Mu immediately agreed. Previously on the Alien Race Battlefield, Little One proudly announced she was a First Level Alchemist and planned to apply to South China Martial Arts University.

Given Little One’s sharp instincts, she might be a genius in alchemy, and staying at Shenjiang Martial Arts University would be a waste of time. Su Mu decided to find a way to help.

"Mengmeng has made significant progress over the past two months. She’s now able to independently complete the inscribing of some standard second level inscriptions. They both seem to be secretly competing with each other. Having a partner for mutual progress is beneficial. I’m thinking of reaching out to friends in the school’s Elixir Department to assess the situation. It’s a shame to waste Little One’s talent."

"That’s great news, and I appreciate your help, Teacher."

Seeing Little One seeking better development opportunities made Su Mu equally delighted.

Su Mu awkwardly spoke up afterward, "Teacher, I have another thing to tell you."

"The Red Sun Saber has been damaged."

"Hmm?" Wang Shuheng was puzzled and raised an eyebrow, "Let me take a look."

Su Mu retrieved it as instructed.

Upon examination, Wang Shuheng saw that a large chunk was missing from the blade, the inscriptions were mostly destroyed, and it had lost its blade qi, indicative of significant internal damage.

"Strange, the Three Cities Training Camp can result in such damage?"

"Did you take it to chop Grandmaster-level weapons?"
