High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 318 - 267: Qi and Blood Like Dragons, Grandmaster Qi and Blood!

Chapter 318: Chapter 267: Qi and Blood Like Dragons, Grandmaster Qi and Blood!

The assistant in the room finished making the tea, brought over a cup, and immediately turned to leave the office.

Sikong Zhi picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Good, I know."

"It seems that Su Mu has made the right decision and is ready to take action."

"Let’s hope so."

After hanging up the phone, Sikong Zhi drank the tea in the cup in one go, the scorching tea water went down his throat, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"The real test has always been just one. If you haven’t taken action before becoming a Grandmaster, Su Mu."

"Even if you complete the first test..."

"That would still be a failure."

Sikong Zhi’s fingers continuously tapped on the tabletop.

"After failing the test, the Martial Saint himself won’t give you a second chance."

"Even a demon like Huangfu Tian ultimately chose to join the Martial Saint’s fold."

"Su Mu, I hope you can make the right choice soon."

...

Su Mu received a new email, sent anonymously, listing the recent movements of Sima Xie, including detailed information about the protective personnel around him.

Needless to say, Su Mu could guess that it was sent by Sikong Zhi’s people.

The Qingfeng Martial Saint statue standing in the central square of South China Saint Martial University at the Seventh Saint Martial University is a clear indication that the person behind South China Saint Martial University and the person behind the Governor of South China are both Qingfeng Martial Saint.

It’s likely that the moment he stepped into South China Saint Martial University today, news had already reached Sikong Zhi.

After reading the email content, Su Mu sneered lightly.

"Do they all want me to kill Sima Xie?"

"I will kill the person, but no one can dictate the path I, Su Mu, choose to walk..."

"Saint Martial University, the Governor of South China, cannot."

"Even the Martial Saint can’t!"

Su Mu’s gaze turned toward the distant South China Saint Martial University, in the direction of the central square where a hundred-meter Martial Saint statue stood.

At this moment, Su Mu dialed a number, first reporting his safety to Miaomiao and the teachers.

Then he dialed another number again.

"Uncle Hong."

"Su Mu? You left the Beast Cave? How come I haven’t received any news from Yun Province telling me where you are now?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"There was an unexpected event in the relic, and I was transported to Zhejiang Province."

"Zhejiang Province? I’ll send someone to pick you up right away. There’s still time. There’s something I need to tell you. During the time you were in the Beast Cave, Ye Wanqing from the Ye Family has defeated other people on the Celestial Pride List one after another, now only you are left."

"About a month ago she issued a challenge to you. There are a few days left until the one-month deadline. I will inform you in detail when we meet.

I will send you the video of Ye Wanqing defeating other opponents, and this time your opponent may not only be Ye Wanqing..."

"Anyway, watch it now. I’ll wait for you to finish and then let me know how confident you are in the battle against Ye Wanqing." Uncle Hong expressed his anticipation with a hint of unease.

Beating others all the way, and with Uncle Hong’s uneasy tone, it seems that a formidable challenger has emerged during his time in the Beast Cave.

And the Ye Family...

Su Mu’s eyes lit up, just in time, he calmly said, "Below the Grandmaster level, I fear no one’s challenge."

Actually, what Su Mu wanted to say at this moment was, even below the Martial Arts Grandmaster level, he feared no challenge, but words must not be spoken too full.

Upon hearing this, Hong Lie at the other end of the phone fell silent for a moment, then a spark of brilliance suddenly burst from his eyes.

Hong Lie knew some of Su Mu’s battle merits, but not the specifics. He only speculated that since Su Mu bypassed the usual ranks, he must have participated in the battle slaying Grandmaster-level Fierce Beasts, and the number was definitely significant.

Now hearing this familiar and calm tone, Hong Lie shuddered, sensing immense confidence from it.

Soon, a tall figure appeared before him, this figure was calm in demeanor, his eyes as deep as the stars, instilling a sense of reassurance.

"Good, saying such words indicates that your harvest this trip to the Beast Cave was considerable!"

Su Mu soon received numerous materials sent by Hong Lie, but instead of opening Ye Wanqing’s battle video, he quickly scanned Ye Wanqing’s personal information.

"Uncle Hong, I have an idea."

"Go ahead and say it."

After Su Mu finished speaking, Hong Lie at the other end of the line felt his scalp tingle and his mouth dry. After Su Mu finished speaking, the line went dead silent as if into an abyss.

After a long silence, Hong Lie finally spoke in a low voice.

"Su Mu, are you sure you want to do this?"

"I’m sure."

"Alright, I will convey your thoughts to the chiefs at headquarters."

...

Martial Arts Association, Lin’an City.

Since his whereabouts were already exposed, Su Mu no longer hid anything and directly brought the foodie to the association hall.

After revealing the identity token of a First Level Sequenced Martial Artist, Su Mu was politely escorted by a Martial Arts Association director to the highest-spec cultivation room on the top floor of the association.

"Not bad."

Su Mu released his spiritual power to scan the entire room, finding nothing unusual.

The cultivation room included all instruments like a combat power tester, Qi and Blood tester, and speed tests, and even had a rest area resembling a presidential suite.

Su Mu went straight to the rest area, his gaze falling on the large bathtub, nodding in satisfaction.

Of course, Su Mu was not here to enjoy himself but to cultivate.

Now that his destiny superpower had vanished, without the constantly replenishing power of destiny, he could feel every inch of his flesh and every cell in his body constantly craving to devour energy.

Without delay, Su Mu flicked his hand to take out the spirit marrow from his space ring, and then also took out the Grandmaster-level Blood Core in his hand.

"I estimate people from the war zone will arrive soon, let’s start with ten."

Su Mu poured over a thousand jin of spirit marrow into the bathtub, then took out ten blood cores the size of a baby’s head, each containing essence blood from a Grandmaster-level Fierce Beast, each core nearly containing a third of the Qi and Blood of the beast at its peak life, and far more pure than ordinary blood.

Crack.

Su Mu directly crushed the ten blood cores into powder.

The blood core powder scattered into the bathtub, instantly boiling the spirit marrow within a few breaths, red bubbles emerging as the milky white spirit marrow quickly turned a bright red.

Su Mu reached into the bathtub to stir, not even blinking at the high temperature above a hundred degrees.

When he pulled back his hand, it was covered in smooth blood droplets that, when dropped outside the tub, did not disperse but stayed as droplets.

Condensing blood into pearls, solid and not dispersing, is a feature of Grandmaster-level blood.

The foodie curiously watched, unable to resist leaning in for a sneak sip, and then its pupils contracted slightly, its whole body trembling as it stamped its feet in place, breathing rapidly for a few seconds before showing a relieved expression.

"There’s only one bathtub in the room, this time it’s not your turn, I’ll let you try it next time."

Su Mu patted the foodie’s head and smilingly tossed a space ring containing a Grandmaster-level Fierce Beast Blood Core.

The bright red, scalding liquid swelled in the tub, reflecting a demonic blood-red color under the lights.

Su Mu took off his clothes and entered the tub, relaxing his body to immerse himself fully in this pool of special blood.

In an instant.

White steam rose.

A whole tub of blood-red liquid rippled, filled with terrifying energy, and the undiluted blood frantically flowed into Su Mu through every pore.

The flesh, already craving power, began a two-way journey, hastening this process aggressively.

"Refreshing!"

Su Mu couldn’t help but utter a sound of pleasure, slowly closing his eyes.

Subsequently, Su Mu activated the Fixed Star Body Refining Technique and Attribute Breathing, alternately switching between Water Breathing and Fire Breathing, and suddenly Su Mu’s body transformed into a black hole, the speed of absorbing blood multiplied several times, tenfold!

White mist constantly spread, the room temperature soared alarmingly, and the slippers outside the tub melted visibly, with the rest area items showing signs of melting.

Such high-temperature mist could roast low-tier Fierce Beasts directly; if someone entered, they might mistake it for a sauna.

Gurgling sounds continued as the tub emitted noises like a boiler boiling water.

Meanwhile, the water level of the pool of blood in the tub declined incessantly; every second, the energy absorbed from the blood could burst a Fifth Level, even an ordinary Sixth Level Martial Artist.

Huu------

Who knows how long had passed before Su Mu exhaled deeply and opened his eyes, a burning sun flickering in his gaze.

As he stood up from the tub, heat waves surged like a dazzling sun rising.

Bang!

A surge of Qi and Blood leaked from Su Mu’s flesh, stirring the surrounding air, the scorching breath shooting out to form a gust of wind rampaging within the cultivation room, causing the equipment to sway and clatter frantically.

Then Su Mu stepped out of the bathtub, his muscular lines flowing like water and rushing like a great river, each line crafted by nature’s magic, forming a nearly perfect body.

Internally, throughout his body, within every meridian, the Qi and Blood underwent astonishing changes.

In introspection.

Su Mu’s internal blood no longer dripped separately; a Grandmaster-level Qi and Blood could condense into pearls, but it was still scattered.

Now Su Mu’s Qi and Blood subtly formed into faint golden flood dragons, not far from true Qi and Blood like a dragon!

These flood dragons coiled within Su Mu’s meridians.

When necessary, if Su Mu were willing, the Qi Blood Flood Dragon coiled within his body could be fully awakened at any moment, unleashing an unimaginable terrifying power.

Qi and Blood like a dragon is a hallmark of stepping completely into the Martial Arts Grandmaster level!
