High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 125 - 116: A Single Spark—Trailblazer, Not Successor!

Chapter 125: Chapter 116: A Single Spark—Trailblazer, Not Successor!

"This is simple, I can immediately promote you to the Third Level Authority, which is equivalent to an ordinary Grandmaster. Give me your Martial Artist badge."

Su Mu took out his badge and handed it over. Seeing this four-cornered silver Martial Artist badge, Li Yue couldn’t help but be slightly stunned, his expression somewhat strange. Indeed, before Su Mu joined the Training Camp, he was only a Fourth Level Martial Artist.

But now he is a Fifth Level Martial Artist.

Li Yue quickly performed the authorization operations on the computer. A few minutes later, he returned the badge, "It’s done now. When do you plan to change your badge?"

Li Yue was naturally referring to changing to the Fifth Level Martial Artist badge. As the chief of the Three Cities, the Fourth Level badge was somewhat low.

"Thank you, President Li Yue, I will do it as soon as possible."

Su Mu was also speaking the truth, as he had not yet advanced to a Fifth Level Martial Artist.

"Su Mu, from now on, just call me Uncle Li. ’President Li Yue’ sounds too formal."

"Uncle Li."

Hearing this, Li Yue’s face showed joy, "Su Mu, since you are here today, prepare yourself, and I will start a ten-day guidance session for you tomorrow."

"Alright, Uncle Li."

...

[User: Su Mu]

[Identity: Chief of the Three Cities Joint Training Camp (Shenjiang, Qianhai, Gaoshan Martial Arts Association)]

[Level: Fourth Level High Stage]

[Authority: Third Level (Valid for one hundred years)]

Su Mu logged into the Martial Arts Association system, scanning quickly to find that the information had undergone a major change.

His identity changed from an honorary member of the Shenjiang City Martial Arts Association to the chief of the Three Cities Training Camp, with the Shenjiang City certification becoming a joint certification of the Three Cities.

The level currently displayed is Fourth Level High Stage, as Su Mu’s Qi and Blood still remained at this stage during the last test before entering the Training Camp.

The Third Level Authority is valid for one hundred years since Uncle Li’s special adjustment granted it to him.

Su Mu immediately attempted to search Wu Lin’s personal data again. This time, the information on Wu Lin was more detailed, including both his personal detailed resume and a general network of personal and social relationships.

At this time, a risk alert popped up in the Martial Arts Association database.

[Alert: Accessing others’ information is a special behavior and will be closely recorded by the database, with the record being transmitted to the local Martial Arts Association in real-time.]

Su Mu ignored the risk alert, his heart slightly chilled. Indeed, a Grandmaster has the authority to access more detailed personal data. Ordinary people have little privacy in front of the strong, which is somewhat terrifying.

"In the High Martial World, strength is supreme."

"The strong enjoy all privileges!"

He immediately began reviewing Wu Lin’s personal resume.

[Wu Lin, born in the East Lake Base of Hanghu City, Zhejiang Province, to parents who were workers at a car factory in the base. His Qi and Blood scores were excellent in high school, and he graduated from East Lake High School...]

[During the Martial Arts Exam, his Qi and Blood reached 181 Kcal, advanced to First Level Martial Artist after Secondary Bone Tempering, and was admitted to Zhejiang Province Martial Arts University. He majored in a regular discipline there and participated in the civil service selection test twice after graduation, passing on the second attempt...]

[At twenty-five, he served as a staff member at the Red Star Street Office of the East Lake Base, where he met Zhao Qin. A year later, they got married.]

[At twenty-seven, his daughter Lu Wan was born, and his wife Zhao Qin died in a car accident a year later...]

[At forty, he was appointed as a group leader at the street office...]

...

[At fifty, he was transferred to serve as the Linjiang Base City Lord in Shenjiang City, Guangshen Province... He passed away at the age of sixty-nine.]

After the Martial Arts Exam’s Secondary Bone Tempering, Wu Lin was admitted to Zhejiang Province Martial Arts University and passed the civil service exam on his second attempt after graduation. Wu Lin’s journey from an ordinary family background went smoothly and successfully in the first half of his life.

However, it is also evident that due to the constraints of coming from an ordinary family without connections and background, Wu Lin, despite being talented, managed to be promoted to a small group leader only after serving as a staff member for fifteen years.

Then for another ten years, he remained stagnant until he was fifty years old. That year, he made several successive promotions, eventually being transferred directly to the position of Linjiang Base City Lord.

Su Mu’s gaze fell on the timeline of the previous year.

"Wu Lin was forty-nine years old when his daughter Lu Wan married Lin Qiu..."

Lin Qiu?

Su Mu immediately pulled up Lin Qiu’s personal information. Compared to Wu Lin, Lin Qiu’s personal resume appeared much more mundane at first. But Su Mu quickly noticed a line at the beginning of Lin Qiu’s resume.

[Born into the Lin Family of Guangshen Province.]

Generally speaking, if a family is specifically noted on a resume, it is certainly not simple.

Su Mu clicked on Lin’s family, and as expected, there wasn’t too much detailed information, only this: [The Lin Family, one of the Martial Arts Families in Guangshen Province.]

Martial Arts Family!

The Armory archive also provided explanations about Martial Arts Families.

[Martial Arts Family: A family that has produced a Martial Saint or Martial Arts Grandmaster, with uninterrupted generations of Grandmasters within three generations, and at least one Grandmaster currently within the family.]

After reading the explanation, Su Mu felt a heaviness in his heart but was slightly excited in his eyes, full of yearning.

"Even an ordinary Grandmaster does not have the authority to view more information."

"Prosperous and enduring, truly worthy of being called a Martial Arts Family!"

To fulfill the criteria of a Martial Arts Family, there are three points. First is ancestral glory, having produced a Martial Saint or Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Second is succession; the descendants cannot fall too far, needing a Martial Arts Grandmaster to appear in every three generations, maintaining unbroken succession.

The third is the current status: the family must have at least one Martial Arts Grandmaster, a pillar.

In other words, the Lin Family currently has at least one Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Wu Lin’s son-in-law being a member of a Martial Arts Family, with such connections and background, coupled with Wu Lin’s own excellence, makes his subsequent rapid ascent understandable.

"Wu Lin’s wife is deceased, and he has only one daughter. Is it possible that the Murder Letter sent to Wu Jun was from Wu Lin’s daughter, Lu Wan?"

Su Mu mused silently, then immediately pulled up Lu Wan’s personal information. Scanning her resume, he found nothing particularly outstanding in the first half.

Currently, her Martial Arts Cultivation is at the Fourth Level Initial Stage, a level she only reached the year before last, yet she has been a member of Guangshen Province Martial Arts Association logistics for ten years.

As for Lin Qiu, his current Martial Arts Cultivation is at Middle Level Fifth Stage, serving as the Deputy Director of Logistics for Guangshen Province Martial Arts Association.

Moreover, their resumes showed neither passed the civil servant selection test, yet both joined the Provincial Martial Arts Association, with one even becoming a deputy director.

The ordinary resumes and relatively low Martial Arts cultivation of Lu Wan and Lin Qiu achieving such status must be closely linked to the backing of the Lin Family.

"Is the Lin Family behind this?"

"No, if it were the Lin Family’s intention, it wouldn’t be done so fearfully. It’s likely Lin Qiu, or perhaps even just Lu Wan acting personally."

Su Mu mused silently, with a hint of solemnity in his expression. It was almost certain at this point that this matter was related to the Lin Family. Even if it wasn’t the Lin Family’s intention, it couldn’t be detached from them.

The pressure, like a mountain, surged forth.

As his strength and perspective grew, Su Mu sometimes felt more acutely the weakness in himself. What does being the chief of the Three Cities matter in front of a true Martial Arts Family? It’s still not significant enough.

But Su Mu would not bow his head to this. His gaze was firm, and a fire had long kindled within his heart, which would not be extinguished here. From this moment on, his longing for strength became even more intense and fervent.

At this very instant, Su Mu’s Martial Arts Heart reached an unprecedented realm, firm and powerful!

"I need more strength to protect my family; a single spark can start a prairie fire!"

"What of a Martial Arts Family? Perhaps one day, I, Su Mu, can achieve the status of a Great Grandmaster, or even rise to the pinnacle of humanity as a Martial Saint. By then, the Su Family can also become a Martial Arts Family!"

"I, Su Mu, will be that spark. If the ancestors of the Lin Family could do it, why can’t I?"

"I, Su Mu, want to be a pioneer, not a successor!"

Buzz.

His thoughts crystallized.

An overbearing edge suddenly emanated from Su Mu, his Sword Momentum responding to his longing for power, his pursuit of martial arts, and his aspiration for becoming a Martial Saint.

Sword Momentum surged forward, sharp and unrestrained!

As a result, this spontaneously blooming Sword Momentum also began to ascend. Su Mu’s heart pounded vigorously in his chest, like the beating of a war drum; his blood boiled within him, hot and fiery.

Su Mu soon closed his eyes slowly, entering a mysterious state.

Crack.

Something was continuously fragmenting.

In an instant, the Sword Momentum on Su Mu’s body abruptly reached the level of his strongest strike during his battle with Tantai Yan, then suddenly surpassed it, going further!

At that moment, the bottleneck shattered explosively.

Sword Momentum reached Minor Success!
