High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 42: Blue Star Alliance Genius Tournament, Hidden Dragon List!

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Blue Star Alliance Genius Tournament, Hidden Dragon List!

Qi Blood Purity might just be Qi Blood Condensation... I just don’t know what the standard is.

This was Su Mu’s own speculation.

A few minutes later, a man and a woman appeared beside the female staff member Xiaohong. One of them had a crew cut and a square face; he was the one who had bestowed on him the honor of being an association member just days ago.

Both of them were visibly surprised upon seeing the 1.05 Qi Blood Purity.

The leading man spoke, "Mr. Su Mu, my name is Wang Heng, a deputy director of the Shenjiang Martial Arts Association. I have an unreasonable request—could you test your Qi Blood Value once more?"

"I need to know first, what is this Qi Blood Purity?"

"One of the most noticeable abilities of a Fifth Level Martial Artist is Qi Blood Emission. Qi Blood Purity is standard by the Qi Blood Condensation when ordinary martial artists achieve Qi Blood Emission, which is set as a Qi Blood Purity of 1."

Understanding dawned on Su Mu, and he couldn’t help but sigh; he just wanted to certify as a Fourth Level Martial Artist, enjoy the treatment of a Fifth Level Martial Artist, and then collect a martial arts bonus to prepare to go home.

He hadn’t intended to draw attention, but the unexpected still happened. Who could have thought that this new testing room would test Qi Blood Purity? 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Alright, then let’s test again."

Having gained Su Mu’s approval, the woman next to Wang Heng opened a briefcase, replaced the blood collection needle on the instrument, then checked the instrument roughly before nodding to indicate no issues.

A few minutes later.

The ceiling screen flickered with striking yellow data once more.

Qi Blood Value: 1714.4 Kcal.

Qi Blood Purity: 1.049

The data was more precise, but almost identical. Seeing that there was no issue with the Qi Blood Purity, the association woman beside Wang Heng immediately recorded the data.

Wang Heng wasn’t stingy with his praise and announced on the spot, "Astonishing Qi Blood Purity. Many martial artists just entering the Fifth Level need a period of time to achieve this Qi Blood Purity; Mr. Su Mu, your martial arts talent is truly remarkable!"

"According to your tested Qi Blood Value, the association will certify you as a Fourth Level Initial Stage Martial Artist. Your warrior badge will be reissued; please wait a moment."

With that, the other two left the testing room.

"Mr. Su Mu, are you interested in joining our Martial Arts Association? Here’s my business card."

Is this a poaching attempt?

Su Mu accepted the card but politely declined. Wang Heng shifted the topic, "Mr. Su Mu, you really don’t need to rush to decline. This might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. Have you heard of the Hidden Dragon List and the Blue Star Alliance Competition?"

Su Mu shook his head. It was his first time hearing about these things.

"A thousand years ago, exotic beasts descended, humanity faced an existential crisis; nations united to resist the exotic beasts, thus the Blue Star Alliance was born. To promote the exchange and progress of martial artists worldwide, the Blue Star Alliance began hosting global martial arts competitions, originating with the Blue Star Alliance Competition."

"The Alliance Competition is held every ten years, divided into the Talent Competition, Grandmaster Competition, and Great Grandmaster Competition. Apart from the Great Grandmaster Competition, which can be freely entered, the other two require regional selections and eliminations within each country."

"The Talent Competition only welcomes new-generation martial artists below thirty-five and beneath Grandmaster level."

"The Hidden Dragon List is divided into the Blue Star General List and sub-lists for each country. The Huaxia Sub-list consists of the Celestial Pride List, Grandmaster List, and Quasi Martial Saint List, each with one hundred names."

"The next Talent Competition selections will begin after the Chinese New Year next year. Mr. Su Mu, if you can make it into the top hundred in Guangshen Province selections, you’ll have the chance to obtain a sequence spot, which means a country’s resource allocation."

"Being a genius doesn’t guarantee becoming a strong force; resources are a critical factor."

"The Third Level Sequence is the lowest in the sequence, aiming to cultivate Grandmaster-level Martial Artists for the country."

Blue Star Alliance, Hidden Dragon List, Talent Competition!

Third Level Sequence, cultivating Grandmaster-level Martial Artists!

Su Mu naturally knew Wang Heng was painting a grand picture, but to be honest, he was tempted.

At that moment, he understood why Wang Heng said this might be Su Mu’s only chance in a lifetime: held once every ten years, with limitations to those below thirty-five. Su Mu was thirty-three this year and would be thirty-four during next year’s selections.

This was indeed his only chance to participate in the Talent Competition in his life.

"In six months, Shenjiang, Qianhai, and Gaoshan will jointly select personnel from eighteen bases for a secret training camp aimed at the selection. I would like to recommend you, Mr. Su Mu, but it’s just a recommendation; you’ll still have to undergo some assessments."

The entire Blue Star as a stage, a global competition!

If he doesn’t give it his all this time, his life might just pass on by.

The blood in Su Mu’s veins was somewhat boiling, but he knew as well that the skies wouldn’t drop pies for free.

"Director Wang, I want to know what I need to give in return?"

"You don’t need to give anything; all expenses will be covered by the association. Your only cost might be facing the blows from all the geniuses of various bases. Many with shattered Martial Arts Hearts have appeared in past years."

"Frankly, I’m recommending you, Mr. Su Mu, for my promotion. If you can successfully participate in the training camp and show decent performance, it will be a merit on my record. Conversely, it wouldn’t affect me at all—it’s just a recommendation spot after all."

Wang Heng spoke candidly, with expectations only for Su Mu to perform decently in the training camp, without harboring hopes for subsequent selections, let alone making it further.

Therefore, Wang Heng briefly mentioned the Hidden Dragon List. Making it onto that list denotes being a Celestial Pride among Celestial Prides. He didn’t think Su Mu before him had such world-defying potential.

Hearing this, Su Mu directly agreed.

"Great, I’ll join."

"After the summer, there will be an assessment. The previous one required killing a Fifth Level Fierce Beast or Alien Race—it might change this time. I’ll inform you then."

The two exchanged a few more words before the new warrior badge was delivered.

"Mr. Su Mu, from now on, you are certified as a Fourth Level Martial Artist by the Martial Arts Association. Based on you being an honorary member of our association, your monthly martial arts subsidy will be exceptionally issued at the standard for Tier Five Martial Artists, which is 12,500 low-grade Spirit Stones per month."

"Additionally, you will henceforth receive routine testing services free of charge at any Martial Arts Association in Huaxia and have access to the basic database of the association."

"The association will also grant you a bonus of 250,000 low-grade Spirit Stones, of which 200,000 is a reward for advancing to a Fourth Level Martial Artist and the additional 50,000 is an extra reward for honorary members. Wishing you prosperity in martial arts!"

Su Mu received the badge, and Wang Heng and the others quickly departed.

After a brief conversation with Wang Heng, Su Mu’s horizons were vastly broadened. Reflecting on the past, it had been thirty-three years since he transmigrated to this world.

His parents in this world abandoned him at a young age, and Su Mu grew up in an orphanage. He was never a genius; his martial arts talent was among the worst in his peers.

But he relied on sheer determination, practicing relentlessly, coupled with economic support from Miaomiao’s father, his high school homeroom teacher, who valued him.

With Miaomiao’s constant encouragement, Su Mu miraculously surpassed many talented classmates who weren’t favored to attend the low-ranking Shenjiang Martial Arts University.

In the years following graduation, Su Mu became a security guard, but his drive remained strong, and he spent almost all his spare time in cultivation.

But sometimes effort alone is useless; the past everything flashed quickly through his mind.

For thirty-three years, he hadn’t even stepped outside Guangshen Province or seen the world properly.

"It’s been hard... for Miaomiao and Xiaoyue."

"Then let’s fight once!"

At this moment, Su Mu reignited the spirit and drive he had years ago. If he surpasses geniuses, he can also be called a genius!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

His punches were like a gust of wind, striking the instrument.

First punch: 9105KG

Second punch: 9111KG

Third punch: 9215KG

Average punching power: 9144KG.

Each punch was stronger than the last; Su Mu unleashed the resentment built up over the past ten years.

The average punching power reached a terrifying 9144KG, with him at the Fourth Level Initial Stage, directly surpassing the limit for Fourth Level Martial Artists by over 1000KG.

On the track, with each breath, the air drawn into his lungs instantly turned into a hot current, then merged into his limbs and hundreds of meridians. He vigorously swung his arms, moving his legs.

Lap time: 9.050S

Average speed: 110.5M/S

"This strength doesn’t belong to me... but I’ll completely surpass it within the Fourth Level!"

Su Mu committed these two sets of results to memory and then turned to leave the martial hall.
