High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 145 - 132: Awarded Third-Tier Sequence, the Lin Family’s Overture

Chapter 145: Chapter 132: Awarded Third-Tier Sequence, the Lin Family’s Overture

The speed data before us is a striking red.

Lap time: 5.714S

Average speed: 175M/S

One kilometer in 5.714 seconds, a speed of 175 meters per second; this data is already very close to the peak speed of a Sixth Level Martial Artist.

But actually, Su Mu himself is not particularly skilled in speed; he has only recently begun learning the Extreme Shadow Body Technique. Su Mu has just been promoted to Fifth Level Martial Artist, yet his speed is already extremely close to the Sixth Level Peak.

Seeing such test results, Su Mu could only explain it away with "a great force hits hard."

"Qi and blood, Qi Blood Purity is the foundation of a Martial Artist’s physique, with strength and speed being further explorations and development of the body’s treasures on this foundation."

"And Martial Momentum is another kind of foundation outside of the physical body. These two correspond to the Qi Blood Flower and Martial Arts Flower among the Three Flowers. Lastly comes the Spiritual Flower of spiritual power. Martial arts are indeed profound."

Su Mu had an epiphany in his heart and gained a deeper understanding of his teacher’s previous words. The cultivation of a Sixth Level Martial Artist and before is entirely for preparing for the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and advancing to the Grandmaster Realm.

However, in this world, the vast majority of people are not martial artists. Becoming a martial artist already makes one outstanding among the masses, yet most of these outstanding individuals stop for life at the realm of Low Tier Martial Artists.

Those who are qualified and have the opportunity to touch the Grandmaster Realm are very few. This is also one reason why High Tier Martial Artists are respectfully referred to as being in the Grandmaster Realm by the public.

Grandmaster is synonymous with powerful and rare.

If willing, one can go directly to any ordinary city-level city to serve as a chief decision-maker or even go to the relevant province or Governor’s Mansion to serve as a high-ranking official.

...

"Miaomiao, I’ve advanced to Fifth Level Martial Artist."

"That’s great, ...hey, were you always Fourth Level before? I didn’t mean that, it’s just before, I heard Luo Mei and City Lord Luo, Chairman Gong saying that you must have already been a Fifth Level Martial Artist for a long time."

Miaomiao’s face was full of surprise and a bit of doubt as she hastily explained.

"They also said..."

"Said what?"

"They said if you got serious, the two of them together might not withstand a slash from you." Miaomiao gulped as she said this, "Honey, is this true?"

"Perhaps." Su Mu looked at the expectant Miaomiao and finally nodded.

Seeing this, Miaomiao wore a proud expression, with undisguised glee on her face.

At this moment, a knock came from outside the testing chamber, "Mr. Su, sorry to interrupt you, do you have a moment?"

"Su Mu, I almost forgot to ask, are you still in Yangcheng?"

"Yes, I’m currently inside the Provincial Martial Arts Association."

"Then don’t hang up, let me also take a look at what the Provincial Martial Arts Association in Yangcheng looks like. I’ve grown so much, and I’ve never seen it before. Hold on, I’ll go call Luo Mei over too, she was curious about it before."

"Let me also record a screen, so when Xiaoyue comes back, she can also see it, and then I’ll also send it to Mom and Dad."

"Luo Mei, Luo Mei, hurry up! Didn’t you want to see the Provincial Martial Arts Association?"

Immediately, Miaomiao started calling out in the video and dashed out with small steps. Seeing this, Su Mu couldn’t help but smile and shake his head; Miaomiao still seemed like a child.

Immediately, Su Mu strode to the door and opened it. He was still immersed in the joy of sharing with his family and didn’t notice the particularly respectful tone of the person outside the door just now.

Opening the door, there was suddenly a flash of lights, and the door was crowded with people.

...

"Sister Miaomiao, I’m here!"

Luo Mei arrived, and the two looked at the phone, immediately met by blinding flashes of light.

"So dazzling, what’s happening here?"

"Is this a press conference? Are they going to interview Brother Mu?"

Grandfather wanted her to call him Brother Mu. He quite liked Luo Mei and felt that calling him Mr. Su seemed a bit distant, so he told her to call him Brother Mu or just Brother, to be more intimate.

Luo Mei wanted to call him Brother directly, but she was shy, so with Miaomiao’s consent, she started calling him Brother Mu.

It did make the generational hierarchy a bit confusing—Luo Mei and Su Mu were considered peers, yet Su Mu and Luo Mei’s father Luo Cheng were also peers. Later, Luo Cheng suggested that each should address according to their relationship.

Getting back to the main point, the two saw through the phone camera that Su Mu was surrounded by a crowd, with various cameras pointed at him.

"Is that Su Mu? He finally came out!"

"Su Mu, you’ve cleared the seventh floor of the Grandmaster Tower on your first attempt. How do you feel about it?"

"You are the head of this round of Three Cities Training Camp in Shenjiang City, Gaoshan City, and Qianhai City, but many people didn’t think highly of you before, believing you were just a small-town talent. What’s your opinion on this?" someone else started stirring the pot.

Grandmaster Tower, Seventh Floor?

Luo Mei in the library looked puzzled; she didn’t know what existence the Grandmaster Tower was. Miaomiao knew a little better since Su Mu had mentioned it to her before, although she only scratched the surface, and she didn’t know what the seventh floor was.

But judging by people’s reactions, it must be very impressive.

"Brother Mu is amazing; you can tell this seventh floor of the so-called Grandmaster Tower is formidable at a glance, and for it to be named after a Grandmaster, this tower must be extraordinary!" Luo Mei was full of admiration.

Seeing Luo Mei’s expression, Miaomiao once again displayed a little smugness; this was her husband, Miaomiao’s.

Multiple microphones were simultaneously moving closer, almost reaching his face.

"Mr. Su, please come with me. Chairman Zhong and Vice President Lin are waiting for you in the hall."

"Alright."

At this moment, the crowd stirred once again.

"I didn’t expect that not only Vice President Lin would be here, but even Chairman Zhong, the commendation is about to start."

"Quickly, take a picture, what are you standing still for?"

Chairman Zhong, Vice President Lin?

Miaomiao and Luo Mei, on the other end of the phone, were both astonished. Su Mu was currently at the Provincial Martial Arts Association, and it was evident who could hold such titles there.

"Hiss!"

"Could this Chairman Zhong and Vice President Lin be the Martial Arts Association’s Head Chairman and Vice President of Guangshen Province?" Luo Mei gasped in disbelief.

According to their positions, these two were the superior of her father’s superior, the real big figures of Guangshen Province, more prestigious than President Li Yue back then, as both were above him.

Seeing this, Miaomiao immediately pressed the mute button on her side, fearing any disturbance to Su Mu. Both then held their breath and intently stared at the screen, even tilting their heads.

Because the screen was slanted, even upside down, as Su Mu was casually holding his phone in his hand.

The scene shifted to a large conference hall capable of accommodating thousands, with a red banner above.

"Third Level Sequence Award Ceremony!"

"Su Mu, I originally thought this commendation would take place a few days ago, but it was delayed, allowing me to see your diligence in cultivation, which is commendable. Keep up the good work."

"First of all, I, Zhong Guoping, on behalf of Guangshen Province Martial Arts Association, congratulate you on your first challenge of the Grandmaster Tower and successfully passing the seventh floor."

As Su Mu stepped onto the platform, Miaomiao and Luo Mei saw two men striding forward, their presence powerful and commanding even with a few steps.

"These two must be Chairman Zhong and Vice President Lin of the Provincial Martial Arts Association," Luo Mei said excitedly.

Within the scene, a robust voice from Zhong Guoping was heard.

"According to the rules set by the Huaxia Martial Arts Association, anyone who meets the criteria of challenging the Grandmaster Tower for the first time and successfully passes the seventh floor will be granted the Third Level Sequence. Now, on behalf of the Huaxia Martial Arts Association, I formally confer upon you, Su Mu, the Third Level Sequence!"

"The Sequence signifies the nation; it means Huaxia will allocate resources to you. This is both the nation’s great expectation and an immense personal honor!"

After these words, flashlights blazed across the room.

As the commendation began, Su Mu put the phone into his pocket. Even without visuals, Miaomiao and Luo Mei stood solemnly in the library, unable to sit still.

They didn’t need to understand what Sequence was, only that it was an honor bestowed at the national level.

Initially planning to see the Provincial Martial Arts Association, they unexpectedly witnessed Su Mu receiving a national-level medal, profoundly shocking and filling them with unprecedented pride and excitement.

"The allocation of national resources, Su Mu, received a medal from the Huaxia Martial Arts Association, a national commendation."

"Huaxia Martial Arts Association, awarding the Sequence! Brother Mu, this is truly amazing!"

Beside Zhong Guoping, Vice President Lin took a tray covered with red cloth from a Martial Arts Association staff, then Chairman Zhong lifted it.

It was a silver five-pointed star medal with gold edges, carved with the emblem of Huaxia on the front and Kyoto Plaza on the back, both representing the nation and the entirety of Huaxia.

Zhong Guoping personally placed the Sequence Medal on Su Mu’s chest.

"I declare that from this moment on, Su Mu, you are a Huaxia Third Level Sequenced Martial Artist. You will enjoy all the rights and privileges equivalent to a Seventh Level Martial Arts Grandmaster."

"As a Third Level Sequenced Martial Artist, you will receive a tilt in national resources, which you will understand in detail later."

"At the same time, on behalf of the Guangshen Province Martial Arts Association, I reward you with 300 pounds of Spirit Marrow, a beachfront villa in Yangcheng, and an entry permit for the Grandmaster Tower."

A pound of Spirit Marrow is equivalent to a million low-grade Spirit Stones, now directly measured in hundreds of pounds, totaling three billion!

As the provincial capital of Guangshen, Yangcheng’s land is extremely valuable. A villa, especially a beachfront one on the Yangcheng coast, is worth tens of millions or even over a billion Spirit Stones.

As for the Grandmaster Tower entry permit, it is invaluable for ordinary people, beyond what can be measured in Spirit Stones.

Su Mu was slightly surprised; indeed, the generosity of the Guangshen Province Martial Arts Association was lavish. His eyes showed a hint of curiosity as he heard about the entry permit.

"Su Mu, I regard humble beginnings not as a disgrace, but as an honor. May you stay true to your original aspirations and wish you flourishing martial fortunes!"

"Flourishing martial fortunes!"

As these words concluded, flashes continued, and an unprecedented round of applause and congratulatory voices erupted and echoed throughout the hall.

"Sister Miaomiao, did you record it all just now?"

"Yes, I recorded everything. I’ll send you a copy later."

"Great, thank you, Sister Miaomiao."

"I pressed the wrong button and hung up the call... Anyway, I’ll call again later; Su Mu must be very busy right now." Miaomiao’s voice was filled with pride in the latter half.

After the commendation concluded, upon leaving the conference hall, Su Mu removed the five-pointed star medal and placed it into his space ring. At this moment, a call came in, and Su Mu answered it promptly after glancing at the caller ID.

After the call, Lin Heng approached Su Mu.

"Su Mu, let’s have a chat."

Su Mu glanced at Vice President Lin in front of him, a trace of blood flashing in his eyes, and nodded, "Alright."

Zhong Guoping, witnessing this, speculated that Lin Heng was attempting to win over Su Mu. He could imagine the means Lin Heng might use, but knowing Su Mu, he felt this effort would be futile, so he wasn’t anxious.
