High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 126 - 117: Minor Success Blade Momentum, Sequence Candidate

Chapter 126: Chapter 117: Minor Success Blade Momentum, Sequence Candidate

The domineering sword momentum reverberated within the cultivation room.

The martial artists in the nearby cultivation rooms felt a sharp edge, and they all trembled, waking up from their cultivation. An elder’s eyes flashed with respect.

"Such astonishing sword momentum. It must be President Li Yue cultivating next door?"

After a long time, Su Mu gently exhaled a breath. His breath condensed and lingered like a white streak across the sky, and there was delight in his eyes.

"Pressure can ignite one’s fighting spirit!"

"The sword momentum has reached minor success."

Su Mu himself did not expect, under the pressure of the martial arts family, his sword momentum would undergo a new breakthrough, directly achieving minor success.

In his hand, a flash of spiritual light revealed a Fourth Level Long Saber, which had previously been imbued with Blade Qi, and now Su Mu used it temporarily.

A second later, the sharpness emanating from Su Mu’s body converged entirely into the long saber in his hand, making it hum and emit an invisible blade light.

"After reaching minor success, my control over the sword momentum has greatly improved."

"The sword momentum scattered over the body surface might be intimidating, but it’s actually a kind of waste. Concentrating the sword momentum to a point, breaking through the surface with a point, can unleash greater power!"

Su Mu’s eyes brightened, and understanding dawned within his heart.

Currently, Su Mu can confirm that Lu Lin’s daughter, Lu Wan, sent the murder letter to Wu Jun, but everything is still speculation and needs specific verification.

"The Sword Momentum Map is quite valuable; perhaps I can start with the ruined map."

Su Mu came up with an idea. After examining the records of Lu Lin and others, he couldn’t help but become curious and opened his own record.

[Su Mu, born in Shenjiang City, Guangshen Province at Linjiang Base, parents unknown, adopted by Linjiang Base’s Third Welfare Institute, martial arts talent poor, attended Linjiang Ninth Middle School during high school...]

[During the martial arts exam, Qi and Blood barely reached 150 kcal, completing Bone Tempering once before advancing to First Level Martial Artist, admitted to Shenjiang Martial Arts University, graduated and married Jiang Miaomiao, a year later daughter Su Xiaoyue was born, Su Mu stayed at the school and worked as a security guard...]

[Thirty-three years old, employed as a counselor at Forging Academy]

[Not long after, Guangshen Province encountered a projection attack from the Demon God Pillar, causing a mutation in the alien race battlefield, space channel blocked. Su Mu was one of three survivors of the small alien race battlefield garrisoned by Shenjiang Martial Arts University, using poisonous mist to kill one Fifth Level Alien Race, slaughtered three Fourth Level Alien Race and several Third Level Alien Race...]

[Months later, qualified for the Three Cities Joint Training Camp, passed the assessment as first in the tenth group.]

[In the Three Cities Joint Training Camp, triggered the Tower of Power’s purple light pillar inheritance, won first place in three rounds of assessment, and ultimately defeated Tantai Yan to become the top of the Three Cities... currently a professor at Shenjiang Martial Arts University’s Forging Academy, honorary member of the Three Cities Martial Arts Association, honorary vice president of Linjiang Base Martial Arts Association, sergeant of the 1955 Corps...]

[Age is somewhat advanced, Martial Arts Heart is firm, mastering sword momentum, possessing certain future potential, third level sequence candidate (tentatively), under assessment...]

"Huh, Demon God Pillar?"

"What is this?"

Su Mu showed confusion, wanting to pull up information on the Demon God Pillar, but found he lacked the access, only able to find this one short piece of information.

[Demon God Pillar: Supreme weapon of the alien race, the strongest weapon controlled by Ninth Level Alien Race, one of the strongest weapons in the world, rivaling the Martial Saint Tower controlled by Earth’s Martial Saint.]

Hiss.

The Martial Saint Tower, Demon God Pillar, the strongest weapons in the world!

Su Mu was shocked at heart. The Ninth Level Alien Race were revered as Demon Gods by the alien race, while Earth’s Ninth Level Martial Artist were revered as Martial Saints. Usually, when such weapons appeared, it signified an alien race Demon God also took action.

"I see, that incident turned out to be so perilous!"

He realized with fear, as well as some hindsight. The alien race battlefield’s mutation was due to the descent of the Demon God Pillar’s projection, yet Su Mu was entirely unaware of this.

Precisely speaking, he was utterly unqualified to know.

Sometimes, knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing for the weak. This applies to Su Mu, even more so to ordinary people; ignorance can be bliss at times.

As he continued to look down, unsurprisingly, the matter of Lu Lin colluding with the Demon Cultist and being killed by him was not recorded in the records, or perhaps was hidden, even ordinary Grandmaster’s access was insufficient.

As he reached the end, Su Mu’s eyes brightened suddenly.

There was finally an evaluation of himself.

"Age is somewhat advanced, Martial Arts Heart is firm, mastering sword momentum, possessing certain future potential. This evaluation is quite accurate." Su Mu did not deny this.

"Third level sequence candidate, under assessment?!"

Su Mu suddenly realized he had already entered the list of third level sequence candidates, currently under assessment. So who would be the assessor?

Several figures flashed in his mind: Shi Hao, Xu Zhi, Huangfu Xue, Li Yue, and others.

Perhaps these individuals were all assessors, and the sequence list would be the tilt of national resources.

"Wang Heng mentioned the sequence is for cultivating martial artists for the nation, even the lowest third level sequence would be at least Grandmaster-level Martial Artist!"

Additionally, Su Mu found that there were several lines in his personal records that were hidden, which he had no right to view.

"They are probably related to the Martial Saint’s Will?"

After reviewing his personal records, Su Mu immediately became curious about Tantai Yan as well.

"What would Tantai Yan’s evaluation be?"

Su Mu immediately sought out the information, which directly prompted a message.

[Notice: Current access insufficient, unable to view current information.]

Su Mu was taken aback. From this, it seems Tantai Yan’s personal information confidentiality level is extremely high, even with his current ordinary Grandmaster access he could not view it.

"It’s likely a higher-level sequence then."

Su Mu didn’t feel unbalanced in his heart. He understood very well that Tantai Yan’s spiritual talent was evident, and she was a celestial pride of South China Martial Arts University.

"Before the martial arts exam, except for Miao Miao and the old man, no one thought highly of me."

"After graduating from Shenjiang Martial Arts University, I quietly worked as a security guard for ten years."

"On the alien race battlefield, training qualification assessment, training camp, all the way, even the teachers only expected me to enter the preliminaries. I was never looked upon favorably."

"But what does it matter, I still made it step by step to today and will continue to move forward."

"My martial arts journey has just begun; everything is just beginning."

Su Mu’s eyes were filled with determination, as steadfast as a rock.

Finally, Su Mu retrieved information about the people he knew. Even he didn’t have enough clearance for Teacher Wang Shuheng’s information, and there were only a few brief lines for Huangfu Xue.

Among them, there were very few evaluated and sequenced individuals, only three, with Huangfu Xue marked as a Second Level Sequence Candidate, while Shi Hao, Xu Zhi, and another were listed as Third Level Sequence. The rest had no evaluations.

"Continue cultivating."

Su Mu swallowed the spirit marrow and began diligently cultivating Condensed Blood, planning to quickly complete the third reconstitution of the Qi Blood Bridge.

At six thirty in the evening, Zhao Meng and Little One sent a message saying they planned to return.

Su Mu took them to the airport. Before they left, he handed a black box to Zhao Meng, "Junior sister, take this black box back to the teacher. I want to ask the teacher to help check its origin."

"Okay, senior brother, you keep going strong!"

"Uncle Wolf, good luck!"

Late at night, Miao Miao called with a video call, and Su Mu immediately thought of the murder letter and quickly answered. Miao Miao’s face showed joy in the video.

"Su Mu, I broke through today. I’m now a Second Level Martial Artist."

"Impressive, right? I just resumed cultivating for a few days and already broke through."

Miao Miao at this moment seemed like a child expecting praise, her big watery eyes looking with anticipation.

"Impressive, of course my Miao Miao is impressive."

Su Mu spoke honestly; Miao Miao was originally in the fast-track class at Jiuzhong, her talent far better than Su Mu’s, but she just didn’t like cultivating and eventually missed her chance at the martial arts exam.

"By the way, these days I’ve been taking Xiaoyue to the Musashi Hall at the base. Xiaoyue is very dedicated to cultivating; she says she wants to become a powerful martial artist like you."

"Lately Xiaoyue often says she hopes time goes by quickly so that when she turns ten after her birthday next year, she can start formal cultivation."

Su Mu felt joyful, "That’s good news, then I have to work harder to be a good role model for Xiaoyue!"

"Honey, you’re already Xiaoyue’s role model, and mine too."

...

The next morning, Su Mu woke up from the cultivation room and got up to leave.

"Mr. Su, President Li Yue asked me to wait here for you, I’ll take you to see him."

"Alright, thanks."

The staff took Su Mu to the rooftop where a helicopter was parked on top of the Martial Arts Association Building, and Li Yue was sitting in the co-pilot’s seat.

"Su Mu, let’s go."

The rotor turned, the helicopter soared into the sky, and about an hour and a half later, it landed atop a mountain range.

Amidst the swirling clouds, there was a martial arts hall with a retro architectural style, the red walls of the hall had already faded, bearing the marks of time.

In front of the hall stood a stone three to four meters high, inscribed with the four ancient characters for Liuyan Martial Arts Hall.

"This is an abandoned martial arts hall where the legacy was broken. I later bought it. For the next ten days, we’ll be training here. Come, I’ll show you inside."

Su Mu could sense a trace of reminiscence in Uncle Li’s eyes as he spoke. It probably wasn’t just as simple as buying it, but Su Mu didn’t ask further.

Inside the martial arts hall was a large plaza, with a red "martial" character in the center of the blue stone paved ground, the strokes like cut and chiseled, faintly emitting a sharp aura.

In the center was a three-legged bronze cauldron, without incense burning inside, but Su Mu could smell the scent of incense.

Crossing the plaza and ascending thirteen steps of blue stone, they entered the main hall of the martial arts hall. There was a shrine without pictures or statues, only three old bronze incense burners, large and small, covered with dust.

Beneath the shrine were some pray mats, where the two sat down on the ground.

"Before we start, I need to have a baseline so I can provide targeted guidance."

"Su Mu, let me see your sword momentum, release it without reservation."

"Okay!"

Su Mu nodded, and a domineering sharp aura surged skyward. Feeling this aura, admiration flashed in Li Yue’s eyes. Even without operating Qi and blood, he could feel a slight tingling on his skin.

This was at least twenty percent of sword momentum. To comprehend two parts of sword momentum right after entering the Fifth Level showed Su Mu’s exceptional talent in Sword Dao. Li Yue himself only understood sword momentum at the high-level Sixth Stage, and grasping two parts of sword momentum was a matter of years even after reaching the peak of a Sixth Level Martial Artist.

Just as Li Yue was about to call a stop, his pupils suddenly contracted with a look of surprise.

In the next moment, the domineering sharp aura around Su Mu showed signs of being artificially controlled and made more solid.

Solidifying sword momentum is a capability only attainable after achieving minor success in sword momentum.

"Minor success in sword momentum!"

"To comprehend minor success in sword momentum right after advancing to Fifth Level Martial Artist, it’s no wonder you were able to defeat Tantai Yan."
