High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 264 - 226: Clearing the Cold Weapon Cultivation Room, Alarming the War Zone Commander

Chapter 264: Chapter 226: Clearing the Cold Weapon Cultivation Room, Alarming the War Zone Commander

The golden light behind quickly drew everyone’s attention.

Everyone present turned around. This golden light was exceptionally striking, even blinding, as if it was making a loud declaration.

Some new recruits covered their eyes, looking puzzled.

"What’s happening?"

"Could it be that the cultivation room malfunctioned?"

Most of those present were new recruits. They had only heard about the bell from the handbook and the instructor, who spoke of the bell with admiration.

So what was this golden light now?

The new recruits, even those outstanding martial arts students from Saint Martial University, all looked towards the leading instructor.

Wu Song’s eyes, which had almost been spitting fire, shrank to pinholes due to the shock of the golden light. His stiff face instantly froze, filled with disbelief and complex emotions.

Wu Song originally thought that the little brat named Jiang Mu was here to cause trouble.

It turned out, he was not here to cause trouble...

He was here to shake the place up.

To possess such power, one must be at least at the General Level, meaning he just scolded a General Level commander of the war zone?!

For a moment, cold sweat broke out on Wu Song’s forehead.

Wu Song, as an instructor, had heard from his instructor that there would be a prompt after going through the cultivation room, which not only indicated the triggering of the final training phase but also required a pass rate of at least 60% to trigger it.

Cao Yun from the first company stared intensely at the golden light, his throat gulping down heavily. He couldn’t help but step back a few steps, then looked at Wu Song. Both of them saw the shock in each other’s eyes. Like the new recruits present, they were witnessing someone pass the cultivation room for the first time.

And it was even the weapon cultivation room, known to be the hardest.

"Wu Song, you come over here for a bit."

The two walked to a secluded place, and Cao Yun couldn’t contain his excitement, "Damn, was that Jiang Mu from the second company?"

"I just looked at the second company’s roster and didn’t see such a deity." Wu Song began referring to him as a deity.

"Then is it Zhao Ning or someone you found to help?" At this moment, Cao Yun was still in great shock, speaking without thinking.

"I, I don’t have the ability to invite such a deity!" Wu Song expressed astonishingly without thinking, though he left a half-completed sentence unspoken.

Only a senior commander of the war zone could pass the weapon cultivation room.

"Let’s report to the colonel first."

Just as Cao Yun took out his phone, Wu Song hesitated slightly, about to remind him when Cao Yun’s phone rang — not his call out, but an incoming call.

The two looked down to find it was the colonel calling.

"Not bad, it seems our East District really has some good seedlings. Wasn’t it your first and second company’s recruits present at the East District’s cultivation area today? Which kid triggered the final training?"

"Colonel, it was a newcomer named Jiang Mu, from the second company."

Hearing the words "second company", Wu Song trembled all over; this deity wasn’t part of his second company.

"Jiang Mu? I don’t recall anyone by that name among the few people from Saint Martial University?"

"Colonel, I have another matter to report."

"Go on."

"Just after the bell, the weapon cultivation room lit up with golden light."

On the other end of the line, their commanding colonel suddenly fell silent, then almost roared.

"Cao Yun, what did you just say? Repeat it to me!"

"Colonel, just after the bell, the weapon cultivation room lit up with golden light."

"Golden light? Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?"

"I’m sure, Wu Song saw it with his own eyes too."

"Alright, I understand. You are to stay on-site now, no one is allowed to leave, do you hear me?"

The call disconnected, leaving Cao Yun and Wu Song utterly shocked; it was their first time hearing the colonel so out of composure.

"The colonel is on his way. Let’s wait until he gets here to handle everything."

Unbeknownst to the two, the colonel they mentioned was already hurrying into an office, "Get me a direct line immediately, I have important news to report to the commander!"

...

"Is it over?"

"No fifth phase, sixth phase?"

Su Mu awoke from his epiphany, looking a little regretful, slightly unsatisfied.

But this time, after passing the fourth phase of the cold weapon training, he gained immensely!

Ever since Su Mu emerged from the Giant’s Cave, his strength had been improving by leaps and bounds, even during a month of reading into sainthood, he hadn’t stabilized much.

Instead, due to reading into sainthood, Su Mu constantly reviewed and learned anew, causing many accumulated insights to lie dormant within him, yet to be fully digested.

Moreover, none of the opponents he had encountered before could push Su Mu to the point where he needed to finely control his strength.

No one, no one could push out the full strength of Su Mu.

In this cold weapon training session, Su Mu underwent a trial of endless refining, as if an invisible iron hammer was continuously striking him.

Only through such tempering could refined steel be forged; the previously unstable aspects within Su Mu were solidified.

All impurities were meticulously eliminated.

Particularly, this refinement drew out numerous latent realizations within Su Mu, digesting them completely, and brought significant benefits.

At this moment, Su Mu felt incredibly light and had a more detailed understanding of his flesh and strength, with a vague sense of all being within grasp.

After this, both Su Mu’s sword technique and sword momentum felt poised for significant improvement, and what made him even more delighted was the loosening of the seal on the third level of the Secret of Power.

The second level of the Secret of Power allowed a fourfold burst.

If Su Mu’s guess was correct, the third level would achieve a terrifying eightfold burst!

Vaguely, Su Mu also had a premonition that this could be of great help on his Path of the Grandmaster.

"Even without subsequent stages, the Weapon Cultivation Room has greatly benefited me at present. After going out this time, I need to earn more Battle Zone Points, I can’t always rely on trickery."

"From now on, I can come to train once every day."

Su Mu made a plan for himself, deciding to train every day until the Weapon Cultivation Room completely lost its effect.

Standing up, golden light flowed over Su Mu’s entire body, the powder on him instantly scattered, and the physical training suit saturated with sweat numerous times had long been dried by his heated body.

"I better find a way to sneak out quietly, otherwise, if I’m exposed, it will cause trouble for Uncle Hong again."

...

The Weapon Cultivation Room door opened, and a tall, handsome figure walked out.

Outside the door, a number of gazes immediately turned towards him.

"He’s out, finally out."

"What a mess, what happened inside, is this really the Weapon Cultivation Room?"

Soon, someone noticed the chaos inside the Weapon Cultivation Room, a thick layer of powder covering the ground, followed by wood chips, shredded paper, cotton, and even feathers?

Many female soldiers among the new recruits frowned in displeasure and disdain, unable to bear the untidiness—how could this handsome guy be so messy?

"What are you doing? How can you produce so much trash?"

"You must have been idle to bring in all this cotton and shredded paper?"

"And could you clean up after using it?"

A female soldier stepped forward and pressed a green button by the door; instantly, the wall openings widened, and strong suction pulled all the trash from the room.

Su Mu was momentarily stunned upon seeing this.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

As the powder flew about, everyone covered their noses and mouths, frowning and retreating backward.

Only Cao Yun and Wu Song strode forward, their eyes through the doorway landing on the instrument displaying the score.

Instantly.

Mouths dry, scalp numb!

As if electrocuted, the two shivered uncontrollably, their bodies breaking out in goosebumps.

"Final score: fourth stage, approval rate 95%..."

Noticing the nearly terrified reactions of the two instructors, the proud Zhang Mingcheng stepped forward, and at the moment he saw the 95% of the fourth stage.

His pupils contracted sharply, he inhaled deeply and involuntarily took several steps back until he was beside Su Mu.

Zhang Mingcheng raised his head slightly to take another look, and this time it wasn’t a side view, he saw the complete front face of the tall figure. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Finally, he recalled why he felt so familiar.

He had indeed seen this person before, and not just once.

He had seen the person in front of him at the Guangshen Province selection.

But it wasn’t in person, he saw him through a screen, for Zhang Mingcheng had no qualification to compete on the same stage as the person in front, even being from South China Saint Martial University.

"You, you’re not Jiang Mu, you’re Su Mu?!"

"Su Mu?!"

"Wait, this name sounds so familiar... I’ve definitely heard it somewhere before."

"I, I remember now, isn’t this the One-Slash Asura from the Dragon Ascension in the Guangshen Province selection before!"

"What? One-Slash Asura Su Mu?!"

For a moment, everyone was incredulous, unable to believe that the legendary demon had just appeared before their eyes.

At that moment, the roar of car engines sounded off outside the Cultivation Tower, as a dozen or so large SUVs lined up outside.

A figure with white hair but an upright posture descended from the car.

On his broad shoulders, epaulets stood straight, and under the sun, the golden wheat and five golden stars shone brilliantly.
