High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 354 - 292: Masterful Techniques, Climax Approaches, Su Mu Challenges the Grandmaster!

Chapter 354: Chapter 292: Masterful Techniques, Climax Approaches, Su Mu Challenges the Grandmaster!

The peak of Celestial Cloud Mountain suddenly fell silent; only the sound of the mountain winds’ whimpering remained between heaven and earth.

Everyone’s face was filled with indescribable shock. In that instant, many couldn’t bear to watch Dao Jiu’s defeat, and turned their gaze away; some even covered their eyes.

Unexpectedly...

On the Martial Arts Arena, Dao Jiu executed a 180-degree unbelievable reversal.

With just one slash, he broke Ye Wanqing’s full-powered, sure-kill move.

With power, he demonstrated that in the face of absolute strength, all strategies are nothing but feeble.

"I... lost."

On the stage, Ye Wanqing reminisced about her past painstaking cultivation. She had worked very hard to get this far, and she gave it her all in this battle, but a loss is a loss; she was indeed no match for Dao Jiu.

As it turned out, the Martial Saint’s choice was not wrong either.

After saying those three words, everyone could see Ye Wanqing’s once high spirits dissipating at a rapid speed, as if they could envision a shooting star falling across the sky.

"Ye Wanqing is strong, but it’s unfortunate she faced a Martial Saint Disciple." Someone from the audience couldn’t help but lament aloud.

"It seems only the most core disciples from top Martial Arts Families have the qualifications to battle against a Martial Saint Disciple."

Many people’s gazes fell on Ye Wuhen of the Ye Family. He, like Ye Wanqing, belonged to the Ye Family, but one was of the main lineage, born with a silver spoon, while the other was merely from a branch family. Though both were of the Ye Family, there was a world of difference between them.

Gu Chen came to the martial exchange meeting for revenge; he couldn’t forget the pain of being ruthlessly defeated by Ye Wanqing, and he too wanted Ye Wanqing to taste the broken Dao heart and self-doubt.

But upon truly witnessing Ye Wanqing’s defeat, his heart wasn’t filled with joy but with unspeakable vexation, deeply suppressed in his heart.

On the stage, Dao Jiu stood like a towering mountain reaching into the clouds.

Is it so difficult to surpass a Martial Saint Disciple?

Quickly, Gu Chen had an answer in his heart.

Unless you enter under the Martial Saint, unless you enter the Martial Saint’s sight, perhaps all are just ants...

"The round of matches has ended, with Dao Jiu from Overlord Blade Saint Martial Hall emerging victorious!"

Dao Jiu was greeted with the attention of all and cheers; Ye Wanqing departed in low spirits like the opponents she had defeated before, as if it was a cycle.

In front of a Martial Saint Disciple, a genius is no longer a genius; it is despairing.

...

"The third round of drawing lots begins!"

After the second round, only three remained from the six. This time, Ye Qingyu glanced at the remaining Su Mu and Dao Jiu, having witnessed Ye Wanqing’s tragic defeat, she saluted the two and spoke.

"I forfeit this battle."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I’m sure." With that, Ye Qingyu walked elegantly off the Martial Arts Arena.

The female grandmaster on the stage glanced at the three great grandmasters onstage, and the three quickly nodded. The female judge then turned to Su Mu, who, after watching this battle, showed no sign of wanting to forfeit and remained calm throughout.

Amidst the attention of all, the female grandmaster announced.

"This round’s draw results in Ye Qingyu forfeiting, and next is the final battle for this Celestial Pride ranking."

"Su Mu from the Southern War Zone and Dao Jiu from Overlord Blade Saint Martial Hall, please take your positions!"

As the words fell, the crowded plaza atop Celestial Cloud Mountain roared like waves, with those present being at least Fifth Level Martial Artists, their powerful voices shook the heavens, even dispersing the sea of clouds atop the mountain peak.

The crowd waved their hands like giant sea waves, and in the divided ocean, two figures took the stage.

Bai Ji’s spirit was invigorated; this time, she handed the microphone to another colleague, personally coming to the special camera, eagerly anticipating the heavy news in Su Mu’s transaction.

Dao Jiu donned a black robe, simply standing onstage was like a mountain, making it difficult for many celestial prides to meet his gaze.

"The hall master mentioned a Sword Dao talent emerged at this exchange meeting."

"One-Slash Asura, make your move."

Dao Jiu’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

As soon as he spoke, the crowd was in an uproar; many suddenly realized and awakened.

"Indeed, Huaxia National Martial Arts Association titled this Su Mu as One-Slash Asura, not One-Punch Asura, even Gu Xing couldn’t force out his blade, just how terrifying could Su Mu’s blade be?"

"Perhaps..."

"Forget it, his opponent is a disciple of the contemporary Overlord Blade Martial Saint, Dao Jiu of Overlord Blade Saint Martial Hall, I reckon at most he can hold out as long as Ye Wanqing in Dao Jiu’s hands."

The crowd was filled with discussions, nearly all in favor of Dao Jiu.

At the host’s seat, Grandmaster Lu Heng looked at the two onstage and the eyes of the three including Ye Wanqing were full of admiration; in his view, Ye Wanqing and Su Mu had outstanding talent, but unfortunately, they encountered a more demonic Martial Saint disciple this time.

"It is said that Dao Jiu’s qualifications are exceptional, even among the disciples under the Overlord Blade Martial Saint."

"Losing to Dao Jiu is enough to be proud."

Sikong Zhi’s gaze fell on Su Mu; in his view, the outcome of this match wasn’t actually important, what mattered was Su Mu’s mindset after the defeat.

Zhao Dong’s eyes slightly narrowed at this moment; after witnessing Su Mu defeat Gu Xing with a punch, he calmed down completely because Su Mu had fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"So what if Dao Jiu is a Martial Saint disciple..."

"At this moment, he is about to face someone who isn’t yet a grandmaster but can slay nearly thirty grandmaster-level fierce beasts in a single battle, someone who single-handedly defends a battle line, with two exceptional entries into the General Star."

"Su Mu is the most dazzling General Star in the history of the Southern War Zone... perhaps without equal."
