High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 141 - 128: Secret of Power, Second Layer—I Will Rush Back!

Chapter 141: Chapter 128: Secret of Power, Second Layer—I Will Rush Back!

Su Mu’s qi and blood are truly shocking.

In Guan Wu’s mind, a possibility emerged: that Su Mu might be from an alien race who had used the Demon God Pillar for cultivation since childhood. Moreover, he couldn’t be just from any bloodline, but must belong to the alien royal family. This thought left Guan Wu with no other possibilities.

At this moment, Guan Wu did not know that this was not Su Mu’s limit, as Su Mu hadn’t begun constructing his final qi and blood bridge.

"They directly captured me and Sikong Jiang too. It seems this matter is not small, and this Su Mu is also not simple." In a forbidden room, the elder felt somewhat unsettled.

In another forbidden room, Sikong Jiang was also very unsettled. To step onto the eighth floor on the first challenge, this was something even Sikong Ba hadn’t achieved.

And from how others referred to Su Mu, Sikong Jiang confirmed that Su Mu wasn’t from the Lin family, as he previously suspected.

"Surname Su? Who is this person really?"

"I really want to fight him!"

Compared to the two, Xiaoyun in the third forbidden room was pacing back and forth, both excited and anxious. She had some background, but it couldn’t match the martial arts families behind the elder and Sikong Jiang.

She speculated that the situation with the Grandmaster Tower wasn’t small; otherwise, such a big commotion wouldn’t have happened. She was very worried that responsibility might ultimately fall on her shoulders.

"But that person called Su Mu is incredible; on his first attempt, he reached the eighth floor, and even passed the seventh floor in an instant!"

In the last forbidden room, Su Mu was calmly training. After digesting the two broken glows in his mind, he couldn’t help but smile.

"The collapse of the figure caused me to lose some pure qi and blood, but I gained an unexpected reward."

"This time I turned misfortune into fortune and successfully unlocked the second layer of the Secret of Power."

The two broken glows only cultivated three hundred drops of condensed blood, but they contained some martial arts insights, which allowed him to unlock the second layer of the Secret of Power.

"The second layer of the Secret of Power should be able to achieve triple burst, right?"

Su Mu looked forward to it very much. Right now, he had more than five thousand drops of condensed blood in his body, which was more than enough for the third reconstruction of the qi and blood bridge. Then he could officially advance to becoming a Fifth Level Martial Artist.

The third reconstructed qi and blood bridge would be the final bridge. Su Mu planned to continue using the double helix structure for the bridge.

"The bridge built with condensed blood will have at least double the strength."

"It doesn’t matter if I take it slower; I want to make the final bridge as solid as possible, with thickness and strength several times greater."

Su Mu looked determined. This time, he wanted to try constructing a bridge to the utmost limit; only by laying a solid foundation can he go further in the future.

As for the anomaly with the Grandmaster Tower, Su Mu believed it would soon be resolved, just like the last time with the Tower of Power. He did nothing wrong, and the Provincial Martial Arts Association would at most detain him for a few days.

...

Both the Grandmaster Tower and this person, Su Mu, made Guan Wu realize it was beyond him to handle. Just when he was about to dial an internal line, a voice came from outside.

"Director Guan, the president has arrived. He wants to see you now."

Guan Wu took a deep breath, "Okay."

In the conference room, an elder with graying temples and deep eyes interrupted Guan Wu, "I want to know the situation with the Grandmaster Tower first; other matters are not important."

Are they not important?

Guan Wu was taken aback. He really wanted to see the president’s expression when he met Su Mu to see if he could maintain his composure.

Immediately, Guan Wu began to report the situation of the Grandmaster Tower.

"According to Elder Ning’s inspection, external damage to the Grandmaster Tower can be ruled out, leaving only one possibility: internal damage. Elder Ning hypothesizes it could be a Spiritual Talent, or a Grandmaster hiding their cultivation entered it."

"So we brought back the four people on site at the first moment and conducted thorough inspections..."

"Of note is this Su Mu, who entered the Grandmaster Tower this time. He is the top candidate of the Training Camp from Shenjiang, Qianhai, and Gaoshan. This was his first challenge, and according to the other three, he directly reached the eighth floor. The eighth floor of the Grandmaster Tower indeed activated, and on-site monitoring confirms this."

The elder’s eyes flashed with astonishment. Someone from a small place could reach the eighth floor on their first challenge; this person is impressive.

"President, here is the monitoring footage we retrieved from the scene. It’s quite lengthy."

Quite lengthy?

The elder found the monitoring footage lasted several hours. Guan Wu immediately skipped to the last ten or so minutes. After watching, the two could see no anomalies.

"These are the detection reports for the four people this time. Please have a look, president." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The elder took a look and frowned after reviewing the reports of Elder Lin, Sikong Jiang, and Zhou Yun. These three had no problems, and they hadn’t even entered the Grandmaster Tower, so they could be ruled out.

"Fourth Level Peak?"

Seeing Su Mu’s martial arts cultivation on the report, the elder was shocked again and continued to read. When he saw the qi and blood value was 9215 calories in the results,

his pupils shrank, and suddenly he slapped his thigh, standing up from the sofa.

"Director Guan, are you sure the test results are accurate?"

"There can’t be a mistake. I was present throughout the testing process, and each person was tested three times."

"This, how is this possible? A Fourth Level Martial Artist with only refined five viscera has a qi and blood value nearing ten thousand?"

"Was his blood composition tested?"

"Yes, it was tested immediately, and there were no alien race components."

After Guan Wu spoke, both men in the room fell silent. The elder reviewed Su Mu’s test report and immediately pulled up Su Mu’s personal record, reading it over and over.

His pupils shrank again, lingering long on the lines mentioning the triggering of the Martial Saint’s Will and the collapse of the Tower of Power.

"Where is this Su Mu now? I want to see him; quickly take me to him!"

The elder’s tone was very excited. The last time the president was so excited was when the Demon God Pillar’s projection appeared in Guangshen Province.

...

The door to the forbidden room opened, light spilling into the dim room.

Su Mu opened his eyes and saw an elder with profound eyes and Guan Wu. At this moment, Guan Wu stood half a step behind the elder. Su Mu immediately had a guess about the elder’s identity.

Vice president of the Provincial Martial Arts Association, perhaps even the president.

Su Mu could vaguely sense a greater pressure from this person, not only in terms of strength but also a longtime authoritative presence.

Besides that, there was also a sense of excitement.

"Are you Su Mu?"

"Yes."

Su Mu’s tone was calm, neither humble nor arrogant. Guan Wu frowned and was about to remind him when the elder waved him off, "Guan Wu, you go out first. I want to talk with him alone for a moment."

"Alright, president."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu was slightly surprised. His guess was indeed correct.

"Su Mu, tell me, why do you want to become stronger?" The elder’s expression was extremely solemn, his gaze instantly as sharp as an eagle, staring at Su Mu as if to see him through.

"President, someone has asked me this question before, and my answer hasn’t changed."

"For a better life, so my family won’t suffer anymore, to protect my friends and family, and for my own freedom to live in this world. I also want to see how far I can go!"

To protect loved ones, to pursue freedom, and to seek the peak of martial arts.

The elder discerned three objectives in Su Mu’s purpose, sensing a firm conviction. This answer was good, but to enter that list, it wasn’t enough. The elder continued with a soul-searching question.

"If there was an opportunity to reach the pinnacle of Martial Saint in front of you, but at the same time a crisis broke out in the city where your family is, what would you do?"

"Tell me right now, without thinking, speak your choice." The elder suddenly shouted, using a strong spiritual power, wanting to hear Su Mu’s truest thoughts.

"I would go back immediately."

"Even if I tell you that going back offers little hope, and you couldn’t possibly make it in time?"

"And if you miss this chance, you’ll never achieve Martial Saint in this life, what would you do then?"

"I would go back!"

Su Mu didn’t hesitate at all; his expression was exceptionally determined, and his answer remained the same five words.
