High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 153 - 139: Li Lang’s Shadow, Su Mu, You’re Really Lucky

Chapter 153: Chapter 139: Li Lang’s Shadow, Su Mu, You’re Really Lucky

On the other side, back in time a little, the Southern War Zone received the news of the battlefield’s roar and immediately initiated verification. The investigation of the three people proceeded simultaneously.

Tantai Yan is the only one among the three with a Spiritual Talent. This type of talented individual focuses more on spiritual cultivation, making it easier to break through to the Grandmaster Realm, which is a significant innate advantage for those with spiritual talent.

Therefore, the first investigation target of the Southern War Zone was Lin Ying from the Lin Family.

Soon, both the Tantai Family and the Lin Family responded. Tantai Yan had just broken through to Fifth Level Martial Artist a while ago and could be directly ruled out.

Lin Ying had only just broken through to Fifth Level High Stage a month ago and had not yet reached the Fifth Level Peak a few days ago, so he could also be ruled out.

As for Su Mu, the Martial Arts Association’s record still remained on the test from a few months ago, prior to participating in the Three Cities Training Camp. At that time, his Qi Blood Value was 4068 kcal, which was at the Fourth Level High Stage. The idea of crossing to the Fifth Level Realm in just a few months and directly advancing to the Sixth Level seemed somewhat far-fetched.

At this time, the investigation reached a dead end.

This matter was not Major General Hong Lie’s responsibility, but as the person who brought Su Mu into the Southern War Zone, Hong Lie was still keeping an eye on Su Mu’s movements and thus quickly received the news.

While everyone initially focused on Lin Ying, upon hearing about the situation, Hong Lie thought of the mutation of the Grandmaster Tower.

He suspected that this time it wasn’t Lin Ying, but Su Mu!

Zhong Guoping had once had a private conversation with Su Mu, and there was that time when he went to the Provincial Martial Arts Association to poach someone, which made Zhong Guoping somewhat displeased and agitated.

Although a Third Level Martial Artist is impressive, Zhong Guoping wouldn’t be so stirred if that was all, given his position as the Chairman of the Provincial Martial Arts Association. He had seen many geniuses at the Third Level Martial Artist stage.

"Regarding Su Mu, perhaps Chairman Zhong knows something."

He immediately contacted Chairman Zhong.

...

In the President’s office on the top floor of the Provincial Martial Arts Association building, seeing the Southern War Zone calling made Zhong Guoping instantly annoyed. He hadn’t been enjoying his meals these days.

But after taking a deep breath, he still answered the phone, able to distinguish between urgent and non-urgent matters.

"Chairman Zhong, I’m Hong Lie. I’m calling to inquire about Su Mu."

"The Southern War Zone has sent Su Mu to the Qianhai City Secret Realm. You should be aware of this matter."

"Yes, I know."

"This time when the three of them entered the battlefield, someone triggered the battlefield roar. We conducted verification on all three of them. Su Mu’s last recorded test showed him at the Fourth Level High Stage. Even I think it’s impossible for him to progress to the Fifth Level Realm in just a few months..."

Hearing this, Zhong Guoping’s expression changed, realizing something, and on the other end of the call, Hong Lie sensed a change in Chairman Zhong’s breathing, instantly realizing something.

"Chairman Zhong, do you know something?"

Zhong Guoping took a deep breath and once again showed a regretful expression, "The one who triggered the battlefield roar should be Su Mu."

"What? Are you sure?"

"After the mutation of the Grandmaster Tower, we conducted detailed tests on the three people present. During this test, we discovered Su Mu’s Qi and Blood were abnormal, extremely abnormal."

"Extremely abnormal?"

"Yes, when he triggered the Grandmaster Tower mutation, he was only at the Fourth Level Peak, but his Five Viscera strength was abnormal, with Qi and Blood reaching as high as 9215 kcal..."

"What? Chairman Zhong, you must be joking, a Fourth Level Peak Martial Artist with 9215 Qi Blood kcal? Even the Alien Royal Families and even the bloodline elites of alien races find it hard to achieve that, don’t they?"

"Do I need to joke?" Zhong Guoping’s tone carried a hint of displeasure.

Hong Lie took a few deep breaths and immediately asked.

"Chairman Zhong, have you conducted a blood composition test on Su Mu?"

"Of course, as soon as we discovered Su Mu’s Qi and Blood anomaly, we immediately conducted a composition test. His blood composition is normal, with no alien race components."

"He also rented a Gravity Cultivation Room in the Provincial Martial Arts Association for several days after leaving the Grandmaster Tower. I guess he advanced to Fifth Level Martial Artist during this time, and now his Qi Blood Value probably exceeds 10,000 kcal."

A martial artist who just advanced to the Fifth Level, with Qi and Blood terrifyingly exceeding 10,000 kcal, under this astonishing speculation.

The two fell silent for a while, but Hong Lie ultimately broke the silence.

"But even a Qi Blood of 10,000 kcal shouldn’t trigger the battlefield’s roar. Since alien races focus more on cultivating Qi and Blood, the Qianhai City Alien Race Battlefield has seen Fifth Level bloodline aliens, whose Qi Blood should also hit the 10,000 standard at the Fifth Level, but they haven’t triggered..."

"What if there’s a combination of extraordinarily high Qi Blood Purity of the same level?"

"Su Mu reached 2.35 while still at the Fourth Level Peak, enough to match the Sixth Level Middle Stage, and even some Sixth Level High Stages. I believe this is more astonishing than the 9,000 kcal Qi Blood."

"Regarding this aspect of Su Mu, not many people in the Provincial Martial Arts Association currently know."

Zhong Guoping interrupted.

Hiss.

On the other end of the phone, Hong Lie took a sharp breath, finally understanding why Zhong Guoping’s tone was so sour. At that moment, he suddenly awoke and had a ’moment of realization’.

Su Mu had previously been stuck at the Third Level Martial Artist realm for ten years, perhaps not because his talent was poor, but because he was consolidating his foundation. It was precisely because his foundation was so solid that each stage progressed steadily, causing slow advancement.

Without a doubt, he is a late bloomer. Hong Lie saw a trace of Lord Li Lang’s shadow in Su Mu.

With such mentality and talent, once he can receive resource allocation, he will surely soar to great heights!

In the future, he might become a Great Grandmaster, or even be among the best of Grandmasters!

"So why did Su Mu only enter the Third Level Sequence list this time?" As soon as Hong Lie asked this question, he immediately figured it out himself.

"From a personal standpoint, I would prefer Su Mu to stay in the Martial Arts Association because then he will be one of ours, and I can achieve great merit. But from a higher perspective, or from the viewpoint of Su Mu’s personal martial arts development, the Southern War Zone is more suitable for his promotion."

"So Chairman Zhong, did you deliberately want me to take Su Mu away that day?"

"Not exactly deliberate; you arrived too quickly that day, and I simply hadn’t thought of an excuse. I’ll send you the test report from that time later."

Hearing this, Hong Lie spoke solemnly.

"Chairman Zhong, I understand your intentions. I will faithfully convey the content of today’s call to the war zone, and I will take good care of Su Mu. This secret realm is a great opportunity for him, and having credible achievements in the war zone is necessary for promotion."

After the call ended, Zhong Guoping’s lips slightly curled up. In fact, there was one more thing he didn’t mention — he had already written a recommendation letter to the South China Governor’s Mansion in his personal capacity.

In any case, he would have witnessed and participated in Su Mu’s future glory, having contributed to it, more or less.

"The Martial Saint is like a high tower, overlooking all beings. Becoming a second Lord Li Lang is a remote possibility, but if the Guangshen Province within the South China scope can produce someone barely keeping up with Huangfu Tian’s pace, that would be good."

Although Huangfu Tian was born in the Huangfu Family of Zhejiang Province, he grew up not in the Huangfu Family, but in the Ye Family in Kyoto.

In the eyes of everyone outside the South China region, Huangfu Tian did not belong to the South China area, but to Kyoto.

...

After the call ended, Hong Lie received the test report and, seeing the data of Qi Blood Value and Qi Blood Purity, still looked shocked.

He immediately reported all this to the South China War Zone Command.

The information about Su Mu’s Qi and Blood was promptly sealed and became a South China War Zone confidential document, known only to a very few people.

...

Meanwhile, in Qianhai City, matters concerning the secret realm were simultaneously underway.

Wu Feng received new orders from the war zone, and for a moment, he was shocked by the war zone’s tough stance. The war zone did not respond to the matter of the three individuals, only instructing him to keep an eye on the battlefield situation at all times, and mentioning that the reinforcements would arrive in Qianhai City soon.

The war zone’s stance this time was extremely firm, even prepared for the escalation of war. Could it be that the war zone really intends to clear the field this time?

The war zone attached great importance to this secret realm, possibly because this time the secret realm was very special?

Inside the Alien Race Battlefield.

Su Mu was the last of the three to arrive, but Lieutenant Chai Wu and Zhang Lie from the Martial Arts Association did not look down on him. They all knew Su Mu was the top of the Three Cities Training Camp and recently known as a talented genius who had earned the Third Level Sequence.

They sensed a strong scent of blood on Su Mu, guessing he had encountered the alien race on the way.

"Su Mu... did you encounter aliens?"

"Yes, four of them."

"What did they look like? Were they terrifying? Is their skin color really different from ours?" Tantai Yan asked curiously.

"Well, how to say it, the aliens actually look similar to us, their language is different from ours, and their skin color is indeed different. The ones I encountered were dark blue. It’s said that Bloodline Aliens are red?"

Listening to their conversation, Lin Ying felt a sense of disdain. However, the next words from the two made his eyelid twitch.

"What level were those four?" Tantai Yan asked, full of curiosity.

"They were all Fifth Level."

"Then you have good luck, Su Mu. You took them out with just one slash each, right?" Tantai Yan’s weak tone carried a chilling implication.

Tantai Yan’s thinking was quite simple; she had great confidence in Su Mu’s abilities. Fifth Level Aliens surely were no match for Su Mu.

Su Mu nodded upon hearing this; he felt he had good luck — the Fifth Level Aliens he encountered were all so weak that at times he doubted if they were just Fourth Level Martial Artists, sent to him as battlefield points.

Lin Ying, having the ’same thought’, also believed Su Mu was lucky, as none of the four Fifth Level Aliens were from the Bloodline Alien Race. Slaying four ordinary aliens — Lin Ying could do the same!
