High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 129 - 120: Sword Momentum Breakthrough, Master of the Martial Arts School!

Chapter 129: Chapter 120: Sword Momentum Breakthrough, Master of the Martial Arts School!

During the day, he honed his sword momentum in the water and refined the inner breathing technique, while at night, he experienced the forty-five percent of the sword momentum.

Days passed just like this.

Time swiftly passed and it was the eighth day. Li Yue showed a peculiar expression, as Su Mu still hadn’t asked about the inner breathing technique, and these ten days were nearing their end.

"Uncle Li, I feel like my sword momentum is showing signs of a breakthrough, so I want to try four times the gravity."

"Alright."

In just a few days, his sword momentum was about to break through?

Li Yue was shocked. In these ten days, his expectation for Su Mu was to initially grasp the inner breathing technique and to guide Su Mu forward, letting him understand the subsequent path of cultivating the sword momentum.

Su Mu learned the former on his own, having comprehended the inner breathing technique by himself, and presumably improved it several times on his own over the past few days. Such self-harmonized improvements would be more profound and beneficial than any explanation he could provide.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yue immediately activated four times the gravity.

Four times the gravity, because he needed to rebuild the Qi Blood Bridge, he hadn’t experienced it during the Three Cities Training Camp, but now he could perceive it with his newfound breathing method.

"Refreshing, really exhilarating."

"This is exactly the feeling I want."

Su Mu’s expression of enjoyment was seen by Li Yue, who couldn’t help but sigh at the "monster". In his view, a newly promoted Fifth Level Martial Artist practicing under four times gravity underwater was purely masochistic behavior.

Yet Su Mu thoroughly enjoyed it.

"This kid’s Martial Arts Heart is exceptionally firm."

On the morning of the tenth day, the deep water with four times gravity couldn’t entirely conceal its sharpness and dominance, as a wave of sword momentum erupted from around Su Mu.

Then, under Su Mu’s control, it condensed into the long saber in his hand, which emitted a more substantial, almost tangible blade light as Su Mu swung it.

Beneath the sharpness, the deep water was sliced apart, causing a temporary break in the current for a second.

He actually achieved cutting water with a drawn saber!

"Monster, truly a monster, he actually broke through." Li Yue exclaimed. The shock Su Mu brought him in these ten days exceeded all his experiences in over ten years as the Martial Arts Association President of Shenjiang City.

Su Mu continued to swing his saber in the water, fully embodying and digesting his insights before leaping out of the water.

"Uncle Li, I have not disgraced my mission."

"Good guy, well done." Li Yue stepped forward and patted Su Mu’s shoulder, visibly excited.

As the evening of the tenth day arrived, Li Yue called Su Mu out from underwater, and Su Mu, somewhat reluctantly, sat down with Li Yue in the hall of the martial arts school.

"To be honest, Su Mu, your progress in these ten days far exceeded my expectations."

"That’s because of your excellent guidance, Uncle Li."

"Hmph, don’t flatter me. I was just showing you the way in; your enormous improvement is entirely due to yourself."

Despite saying this, Li Yue felt joy in his heart. He now held high expectations for Su Mu, who might become a Great Grandmaster in the future. Who wouldn’t be pleased to receive praise from a future Great Grandmaster?

After a moment’s pause, he continued.

"Regarding these ten days, is there anything you encountered that you want me to clarify?" Li Yue hinted, prompting Su Mu to ask about the inner breathing technique.

"Uncle Li, your explanation of the sword momentum was very thorough and easy to understand. I benefited tremendously."

Upon hearing this, Li Yue couldn’t help but laugh and cry, taking a deep breath before speaking, "You really are a monster, but I must still mention the inner breathing technique."

Inner breathing technique?!

At the mention of this term, Su Mu’s eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately associated it with his underwater breathing technique.

"The inner breathing technique can be considered a high-tier technique after mastering the breathing technique. It can mobilize a martial artist’s combat power more efficiently and powerfully, allowing them to maintain or even unleash stronger and longer-lasting combat power in dire environments."

"You must have used a new breathing method underwater, right? That is the inner breathing technique."

Suddenly, Su Mu understood. Uncle Li had such thoughtful intentions; underwater cultivation served this hidden purpose. No wonder he succeeded in integrating the fourteenth breathing movement and achieving a breakthrough in the breathing technique underwater.

Li Yue noticed Su Mu’s expression and softly snorted, "Don’t look at me. I only intended to guide you and then teach you the inner breathing technique, but I didn’t expect you to comprehend it on your own."

Huh?

Was he overthinking it?!

Su Mu was taken aback and quickly replied, "Please guide me, Uncle Li."

"Did you change your breathing route when you were underwater? Probably more than once, right?"

"Yes, I modified it over thirty times these past few days."

Upon hearing this, Li Yue’s pupils contracted sharply again. This kid is truly extraordinary, he thought, maintaining a composed surface, "Hmm, you did well. The inner breathing technique is not fixed, so let me guide you through a standard inner breathing route."

"Relax your body and perceive this breathing route."

Li Yue then placed a hand on Su Mu’s shoulder, and a pure flow of Qi and blood entered Su Mu’s body. Moments later, Su Mu’s eyes brightened as he realized that the breathing route Uncle Li provided was quite basic compared to his own realization.

However, it had several aspects he hadn’t considered.

"If I can integrate this into my inner breathing route, my breathing technique can still advance further!"

After Su Mu took some time to digest this, Li Yue timely reminded him, "As I mentioned, the inner breathing technique is not fixed. You can use this breathing method and circulation route as a reference to innovate. Mediocre people copy; strong individuals create their own path. What suits you is most important."

He had heard similar words from his teacher, Wang Shuheng, and now Su Mu understood more profoundly. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Indeed, what suits oneself is most important. Without this, he wouldn’t have chosen the Third-Turned Refining Technique and might have missed out on the Sword Nurturing Technique and Surging Waves Saber Technique.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have likely defeated Tantai Yan and achieved the top position in the Three Cities Training Camp.

Su Mu felt a tinge of sentiment in his heart.

"Overall, Su Mu, you have immense talent—not just in the Sword Dao but also in cultivation. Your talent makes me envious. I hope you can go further!"

"Uncle Li, I, Su Mu, will work twice as hard."

"Hmm, I believe in you," Li Yue said without hesitation. Over the past days, he observed that Su Mu was a born martial artist.

"What’s your plan next?"

Su Mu was taken aback. His mind had been focused on cultivation these past few days and hadn’t considered these matters.

"You’re the top rank in this Three Cities Joint Training Camp, granting you access to the Grandmaster Tower once. My original suggestion was to wait until you advance to a Sixth Level Martial Artist before going, but now my thoughts have changed."

"Su Mu, you need not wait until you advance to the Sixth Level; you can go now. However, before that, you can first digest the gains from these ten days."

"As for the Grandmaster-level weapon and martial arts, I suggest you visit the Gaoshan City Martial Arts Association Headquarters. Although I don’t want to admit it, the foundation of Gaoshan City is indeed deeper than our Shenjiang City."

"I won’t make recommendations regarding weapons, as you’re Elder Wang’s disciple, you’ll be more aware than I am." At this point, Li Yue’s tone subtly revealed his envy.

Finally, Li Yue pulled out an ancient-style iron key and handed it over.

"Uncle Li, what is this?"

"This is the martial art school’s key. You can come here anytime to cultivate in the future. Since you call me Uncle, I’ll be honest; my Martial Arts path has come to an end. Becoming a Great Grandmaster is not in the cards for me."

"But you’re young, Su Mu. This place is yours now. Consider it my early Grandmaster gift to you."

"Uncle Li, this gift is too valuable..."

"What’s the matter? Are you afraid?" Li Yue asked with a smile.

Interrupted, Su Mu took a deep breath, "Why would I be afraid? Uncle Li, I’ll accept your gift and make sure not to disappoint you. I’ll strive to advance to Grandmaster soon!"

"Good, that’s the spirit. This martial arts school means more in your hands than in mine." At this, Li Yue’s voice carried a moment of melancholy before he patted Su Mu’s shoulder again.

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

Su Mu solemnly accepted the key, pondering over Uncle Li’s words.

The Grandmaster Tower, how exciting!
