High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 52: Half the Effort, Double the Effect – News from the Training Camp

Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Half the Effort, Double the Effect – News from the Training Camp

A few days later, Su Mu’s vacation is about to end. Previously, he had already used up his entire year’s vacation, and this summer break of about a month was specially approved by his teacher.

That night, Su Mu came alone to the Martial Arts Association’s cultivation room and opened the last ten or so Pandora’s boxes at once.

The white light was dazzling.

As a result, his space ring gained a batch of elixirs, spirit fruits, and other produce.

Among them, there was only one blue light, which was from opening a ten spirit stone tier; it was a heavy, square, ink-colored single-handed shield, slightly larger than an A4 paper.

[Small Ink Stone Shield: A heavy Tier Five single-handed shield, sturdy and reliable.]

Su Mu was astonished as he grabbed the shield. The petite shield felt slightly heavy in his hand, weighing at least several hundred pounds. He infused it with qi and blood, and mountain-like patterns lit up on the shield.

Along with this came a sudden increase in weight, causing Su Mu’s right arm to drop sharply, almost losing grip.

"The defense should be good, but it’s too cumbersome."

After a brief attempt, Su Mu quickly stored it in his ring. He took a deep breath, and a pile of middle grade spirit stones appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Yes, it’s time to extract a new superpower again.

The previous Pandora’s box will just serve as a warm-up, hopefully this time I get another good superpower.

Last time, Pandora’s Box yielded a small bag of thirty upper grade spirit stones. He added one this time; upper grade spirit stones are crystalline and clear like diamonds.

The spirit stone shone, the green light on the periphery of the void wheel lit up, starting to accelerate, then slowing down, and the next second, dazzling purple light flickered, just as impressive as last time!

[Quality: Purple]

[Superpower: Half the Effort, Double the Effect (Special), any action will undergo Half the Effort, Double the Effect determination.]

[PS: Blessed Spirit, Half the Effort, Double the Effect!]

Half the Effort, Double the Effect?!

How does this determination work afterward...?

Su Mu drew his sword and executed the first form of the Surging Waves Saber Technique: Riding the Wind.

In the instant after the attack, a few lines of text appeared before Su Mu’s eyes.

[You executed the first form of the Surging Waves Saber Technique: Riding the Wind.]

[Half the Effort, Double the Effect determination is 2 times!]

[You gained 2 times the insight and experience of Riding the Wind.]

A momentary slight numbness flashed through his mind, as Su Mu looked at the words before him, his eyes brightened, instantly understanding the principle of this Half the Effort, Double the Effect superpower.

[You practiced the Nameless Breathing Technique.]

[Half the Effort, Double the Effect determination is 3 times!]

[You gained 3 times the insight and experience of the Nameless Breathing Technique.]

Another moment of numbness, quickly followed by a few lines of text appearing before his eyes.

Su Mu paused for a moment then was overjoyed, as he had already achieved minor success in the Breathing Technique, no need to deliberately assume a cultivation posture, as breathing itself could accomplish simple cultivation.

Thus, does this not mean that he can continuously trigger this Half the Effort, Double the Effect determination, and if lucky, it would be like doubling time, or even several times more.

After the Magic Box supplied a batch of elixirs, what Su Mu currently lacked was time. The Breathing Technique, Blood Control Secret Technique, bridge construction, sword technique, forging all require time.

"Just in time to return to school, I’ll grind when I go back!"

...

Before returning to school, Su Mu also asked Miaomiao if she wanted to bring Xiaoyue along to school, but Miaomiao thought for a moment and shook her head.

"Su Mu, I am used to living in this small place Linjiang, Dad and Mom are getting old, they may say it out loud, but deep down, they hope we visit them often. I’ll take Xiaoyue over next summer."

"Alright, that’s fine."

That day, Lu Xue and his wife arranged to have dinner at a four-star hotel in the new city with Su Mu’s family, and with them were Situ Xue and four others.

"Teacher Su!"

The five were very excited to see Su Mu, Lu Xue and his wife found it unsurprising, but Miaomiao’s beautiful eyes flashed with surprise. Her husband had only been at the training camp for ten days; the reaction of these five students was as if Su Mu had taught them for three years.

"How is your cultivation going recently?"

"Teacher Su, my qi and blood has made a breakthrough recently, I will definitely strive to get into Martial Arts University."

"Me too."

The speakers were Situ Xue and Hua Song, the other three also spoke of recent signs of fluctuation in their qi and blood.

"Good, you’ve all done well."

Receiving Su Mu’s affirmation, the five were very excited, and this scene brought a bitter smile to Hu Yun’s face, having taught them for two years, still couldn’t compare to Su Mu’s ten days.

But right, he couldn’t really compare with Su Mu.

After the meal, Su Mu took a peaceful nap at home, and after watching Su Mu board the plane, Miaomiao left the airport supporting her waist with her daughter Xiaoyue.

"Mom, did you hurt your waist? I’ll massage you when we get back."

With a slightly flushed face, Miaomiao hesitantly nodded in response.

...

Back at school, in front of the school’s entrance.

Su Mu paused a little, feeling as if it’s been ages, his past experiences swiftly flashed before his eyes.

"What’s past is past..."

"Everything is just beginning!"

Su Mu took a deep breath and then exhaled gently, striding into the campus.

"Hello, Teacher Su."

"Good afternoon."

After receiving recognition from three parties, Su Mu became somewhat of a school celebrity, plus he had worked many years as a security guard, naturally all the school’s security personnel knew him.

In front of the dormitory, Su Mu bumped into Teacher Lin, who was bringing people to sweep the adjacent faculty dorms.

"Teacher Su, you returned to school so early, why not stay home a few more days?"

"No, is there new mentors at our academy?"

"Yes, due to battlefield anomalies, our school suffered greatly, this year’s mentor registration was exceptionally hot, so the school took the opportunity to recruit a batch of new mentors."

"Even our Forging Academy recruited seven new mentors this time, and reportedly Theoretical Academy recruited nearly a hundred mentors in one go."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu was somewhat surprised; it indeed was quite a number.

"Oh, by the way, Teacher Su, the dorm next to yours belongs to Teacher Zhao."

"Teacher Zhao?"

"It’s your Little Junior Sister." Teacher Lin smiled, "I’m truly envious of you and Zhao Meng, being accepted as disciples by Elder Wang, congratulations."

The two chatted for a while, and Su Mu took out a bag of fruits and vegetables from the ring, "Teacher Lin, if you don’t mind, please accept this bag and have a taste."

After taking it, Teacher Lin smelled a refreshing fragrance, surprised at the high quality of these fruits and vegetables, which he hadn’t seen before.

"Alright, I won’t be polite then."

Returning to the dorm, Su Mu descended to the underground cultivation room, feeling at ease with everything in front of him, he activated the spirit gathering inscriptions of the cultivation room.

"Start cultivation."

[You gained 2 times the insight and experience of the Nameless Breathing Technique.]

[You gained 2.5 times the insight and experience of the Blood Control Secret Technique.]

[You gained 3 times the insight and experience of the Surging Waves Saber Technique.]

[You gained 2 times the insight and experience of the Third-Turned Refining Technique.]

[You gained 3.5 times the insight and experience of the Sword Nurturing Technique.]

Every moment, Su Mu could feel his strength increasing, this sensation was addictive, intoxicating, yet grounding!

...

Cultivation knows no days or nights, in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

One night, Su Mu received a phone call.

"Su Mu, are you available to meet tomorrow? There’s news regarding the training camp assessment."

"Alright."
