High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 347 - 289: Demon Giant Transformation? Too Weak—You’re Shaming the Relic Giant!

Chapter 347: Chapter 289: Demon Giant Transformation? Too Weak—You’re Shaming the Relic Giant!

The crowd on both sides of the Martial Arts Arena erupted in cheers, like waves.

The photographers responsible for livestreaming the exchange meeting all lifted their cameras, twisting the lenses for close-ups, as flashbulbs went off.

In the resting area of the Overlord Blade Saint Martial Hall, the bear-like Gu Xing stood up casually. As he stretched his neck, a series of crisp cracking sounds emanated from his bones and muscles.

His gaze fell on Su Mu, and a deep voice resounded.

"This exchange meeting is jointly organized by the Huaxia Martial Arts Association and the Southern War Zone. According to Article Five of the Martial Arts Exchange Rules set by the Huaxia National Martial Arts Association..."

"Blades and swords have no eyes. During the course of the exchange meeting, if a mishap leads to serious injury or even death, no responsibility shall be borne, and no power can pursue accountability afterward."

At this, Gu Xing paused, "The Overlord Blade Martial Saint once said that life and death are excellent opportunities for breakthroughs. In any sparring, I will not hold back and will give it my all."

"I hope you are psychologically prepared."

"Otherwise, you must bear the consequences of inferior skills yourself. Do you understand what I mean?"

Gu Xing’s voice rumbled like thunderclouds rolling. Those who knew him well understood that Gu Xing was teetering on the edge of a rampage. In his wrathful state, even other members of the Overlord Blade Saint Martial Hall were reluctant to provoke him lightly.

Having said that, he strode up to the Martial Arts Arena, looking down at Su Mu from above.

Seated, Su Mu heard an intriguing statement and, in fact, it had been a long time since someone looked down on him.

"Interesting, it seems my recent acting was too convincing..."

So much so that it gave the person before him an illusion and confidence.

Thinking of this, Su Mu stood up from his seat with a smile, stretching slightly. His backbone moved beneath the flesh like a great dragon.

"Hmm, I’m looking forward to it."

"I also agree with your viewpoint, great fortune lies between life and death."

The referee on the Martial Arts Arena sensed the intensifying tension on the field, especially the moment Su Mu rose to walk over. As a Martial Arts Grandmaster himself, his heart inexplicably skipped a beat, and his eyelids twitched erratically, prompting him to speak immediately.

"I declare the final round begins!"

As the words fell, this Grandmaster from the Martial Arts Association quickly left the Martial Arts Arena, bewildered.

"I know you are unwilling to accept."

"Very well, this time I’ll let you make the first move, go ahead."

As Su Mu spoke, he made a gesture towards the back of his neck. Only a few present understood the meaning behind this motion: not long ago, Su Mu had clasped his hand right there on Gu Xing’s neck.

In an instant, the killing intent in Gu Xing’s eyes was undisguised, cold and indifferent. To be honest, he still felt some apprehension towards Su Mu, but since Su Mu was inviting death, why should he show courtesy to a dead man?

"Using an ancient relic weapon to clash head-on with a Grandmaster-level weapon, ultimately sneaking via acupoints is still external."

"Next, I will show you what true body refinement is!"

An ancient relic weapon, an external element?

Su Mu’s expression remained calm, aware that his Golden Essence Armor had caused misunderstandings. However, he had no intention of offering an explanation. As for the acupoint sneak attack, it couldn’t help but bring a slight upward curve to Su Mu’s lips.

Everything was under control; it seemed both small and large fish had taken the bait completely.

Su Mu’s blood was uncontrollably boiling and scalding, not due to Gu Xing, but rather from thinking about the upcoming battles.

The script he personally crafted for the Sima family was about to reach its climax and final conclusion.

He could hardly contain his urge to hunt.

On one side of the vast Celestial Cloud Martial Arena, Gu Xing suddenly opened his mouth wide, and his heavy, beast-like breathing reverberated across the arena. Then, his already burly physique swelled dramatically as his flesh writhed.

Within a breath, he grew over half a meter taller, and he continued to grow slowly, yet the entire process felt solid.

Snap.

The martial robe on Gu Xing’s body, unable to withstand the pressure, shattered instantly into powder. His muscles visibly bulged one after another, and blue veins coiled like flood dragons.

His formidable qi and blood surged within his body, furiously flooding into every inch of flesh.

"Demon Giant Transformation!"

As a deep, inhuman voice emerged, the skin across Gu Xing’s entire body turned fiery red, resembling pieces of red-hot iron.

The surrounding air twirled violently at this moment. Billowing white air waves burst from every pore of Gu Xing’s burning flesh.

Whoosh-----

As this breath spewed from Gu Xing’s mouth, it instantly turned into a hot wave spreading out. Those at the edges of the Martial Arts Arena could feel the temperature rapidly rising as if a massive furnace onstage had been ignited.

A unique, terrifying aura spread from Gu Xing’s body, filling the entire arena. Many spectators were visibly affected, feeling an overwhelming sense of suffocation.

"Legend has it that the Overlord Blade Martial Saint once ventured into a certain relic within the Giant Beast Cave and brought back an incomplete body refining martial arts..."

Grandmaster Lu Heng from the Huaxia National Martial Arts Association, seated among the organizers, murmured, eyes gleaming.

"Indeed, I’ve heard of this. It’s said to be the body refining martial arts of the long-extinct relic giants. Incredibly, someone has truly mastered it," South China Governor Sikong Zhi also showed a hint of astonishment.

Beside Sikong Zhi, Zhao Dong carefully sensed Gu Xing’s aura on the field before shaking his head.

The aura is somewhat similar to the relic giant, yet still different. What he has cultivated is not that particular Giant Martial Arts, but it is closely related to it—perhaps a derived body refining martial arts.
