Chapter 400 - 320: Mighty Physique, Deer in the Snow, Return to the War Zone!
This year, the snowfall in Shenjiang City was heavier than previous years. Overnight, roofs, branches, and streets were covered with a thick layer of snow.
On the weekend, at Shenjiang Martial Arts University campus, initially, many teachers’ families were playing in the snow with their children until university students joined in.
Then...
The streets of the entire campus broke out into a spirited snowball fight.
Xiaoyue, Zhao Meng, and Little One were among them. Xiaoyue, a ten-year-old girl, was even single-handedly dominating several university students. Everyone tacitly refrained from using Qi and Blood or any martial arts techniques, simply relying on their flesh body for fun.
"Xiaoyue, did you secretly use spiritual power?" A female university student blinked her clear eyes and asked in confusion.
"Big sister, Xiaoyue didn’t use spiritual power."
Xiaoyue’s agile figure was like a deer in the snow, her physique far surpassing peers, even these martial arts university students. Plus, Xiaoyue’s swift reactions, no wonder someone had such doubts.
Not far away on a stone bench, Miaomiao watched this scene with a smile on her face, and a sense of understanding in her heart.
She was not worried about her daughter catching cold; a martial artist’s flesh body is strong, with robust Qi and Blood surpassing ordinary people, unfazed by common cold.
Moreover, Su Mu had recently taught them both a self-created cultivation technique and essence blood secret technique, making their vitality immensely stronger.
Even in the thick of winter, wearing thin clothes, their bodies felt slightly warm, as if covered with heating pads.
"He must have done something those days..."
"That guy is still as tight-lipped as ever, saying nothing."
Miaomiao recalled how Su Mu spent several evenings guiding them into the meditation world instead of cultivating.
After those nights, a massive golden Qi and Blood like a coiled flood dragon appeared in Miaomiao and Xiaoyue’s bodies.
Afterward, they faintly felt their hearing and eyesight sharpen considerably.
Miaomiao asked Su Mu what he did, but he just smiled and brushed it off.
But right after this golden Qi and Blood appeared, their physiques changed instantly, and everything from using the essence blood secret technique to the special cultivation method became much easier.
Next second.
A snowball slammed into the back of Xiaoyue’s head, coming from Little One’s sneak attack.
"Haha, Xiaoyue, you got hit this time," Little One laughed gleefully.
Friends can turn on each other quickly, and the trio’s small team disbanded instantly, each going solo. Amid the chaos, Zhao Meng learned from Little One and rolled a snowball to launch an attack towards Miaomiao sitting on the stone bench nearby.
This scene left many university students stunned; only these three had the guts to throw snowballs at Miaomiao because she was the principal’s wife!
Though the students’ eyes were clear, they understood some things shouldn’t be done; they lacked the courage.
"Haha, Sister Miaomiao, you join us too."
Miaomiao’s thoughts were interrupted, and she shook her head with a smile before joining in...
At the campus entrance, a tall figure paused, then smiled and walked to where Miaomiao originally sat, watching with interest.
Not long after, Miaomiao noticed the figure that had somehow appeared on the stone bench. Distracted, she was hit with another snowball, this time by her daughter Xiaoyue.
Miaomiao grabbed the snowball from her face, and Xiaoyue skillfully darted away. Miaomiao, clutching the snowball, walked towards the stone bench.
"When did you come back?"
"Just now."
As soon as he answered, the snowball smeared his face. Miaomiao chuckled as she looked at Su Mu’s snow-smeared face, the sound of her laughter like orchids blooming in a secluded valley left Su Mu momentarily awestruck.
"Dad, you’re back! Join us and play!"
Su Mu waved his hand with a smile, "Xiaoyue, you all play."
He knew if he joined, the snowball fight might lose its fun as everyone would become too restrained.
Afterward, the two strolled around the campus.
"Miaomiao, I want to discuss something with you."
"Go ahead."
"I want to take you all to live in the war zone."
Miaomiao heard this and wasn’t surprised, as if she had anticipated it. She nodded gently, "Okay."
Su Mu’s eyes flickered, "About mom and dad..."
"Let me talk to them."
"But they might not want to stay; leaves return to roots. I guess they just want to stay in the village now."
The two exchanged glances, understanding everything without words, as Su Mu firmly held Miaomiao’s small hand, delicate and slightly cool, providing comfort and assurance, instantly calming his heart.
...
A day later, a special plane from the Southern War Zone landed at Shenjiang Martial Arts University.
University President Qian Tai watched as the warplane roared away with a complex expression, letting out a breath. Not long ago, a woman had suddenly appeared and later revealed her identity to him.
She turned out to be from Qingfeng Martial Saint...
Upon learning this, Qian Tai was overwhelmed with fear and trepidation.
She simply spoke softly, "All you need to do is act as if nothing happened these past few days, understand?"
Qian Tai didn’t know what really happened; he only vaguely felt that she came for Su Mu, perhaps to protect him in secret?
In any case, the woman put great pressure on Qian Tai. Now that Su Mu had left, she probably wouldn’t appear again.
At this moment, if Qingli knew what Qian Tai was thinking.
Qingli would undoubtedly exclaim: What the hell, you want me to protect that monster?!
What a joke!
...
"What is that?"
Aboard the warplane, Little One gulped, asking in shock. At this moment, everyone was clustered by the cabin windows, gazing down at the vast earth, unable to hide their awe.
Everyone suddenly broke out in goosebumps.
On the vast earth below, out of nowhere, emerged an exceedingly terrifying giant hole, as if it were an endless abyss leading to hell.
It’s no wonder they reacted this way, even Su Mu was extremely shocked when he first saw the Giant Beast Cave.
"This should be... a Giant Beast Cave?" Teacher Wang Shuheng’s voice was urgent but also somewhat uncertain.
"A Beast Cave? The legendary Beast Cave... just a glimpse terrifies me..." The voice of Luo Mei who came along was trembling.
Soon everyone’s gaze converged on Su Mu.
Su Mu’s eyes flickered.
"Yes, below is one of the five Giant Beast Caves within Huaxia, and it’s the South China Beast Cave defended by our Southern War Zone."
"The Southern War Zone was created to defend the South China Beast Cave, far from cities, holding the frontline against beast tides. Here stands the first line of defense against the beast tides for South China..."
Su Mu paused after saying this, and everyone’s breathing grew urgent. The soldiers piloting the plane had eyes full of respect.
As he once delivered Su Mu General Star to the battlefield, witnessing Su Mu leap from ten thousand meters high to slay two Grandmaster Level Fierce Beasts, and knowing this warrior personally faced beast tides, even holding the line alone. Hearing this from Su Mu General Star stirred their blood fiercely, resonating deeply.
"Before the war zone is completely destroyed, it will be the strongest line of defense for South China."
Upon hearing this, Miaomiao, Teacher Wang Shuheng, Mom and Dad, Little Junior Sister Zhao Meng, and others all stood respectfully.
"Yes, join the army and serve the country; this is the true spirit of us Huaxia men!"
The father-in-law couldn’t help but express his sentiments.
Miaomiao, hearing her father’s words, glimpsed the longing on her father’s face and immediately guessed something. Then she glanced at Su Mu.
Su Mu smiled at Miaomiao; indeed, Miaomiao had figured it out.
Indeed, earlier he actually used Spiritual Power, incorporating the Meditation Technique taught by Little Junior Sister to make his speech more intriguing or enchanting.
Not only was he introducing the war zone, but he also wished for his parents to remain in the war zone.
Thus far, the effect was excellent.
Everyone’s face showed admiration and longing, each wanting to enlist immediately.
The special plane began to descend, soon reaching the ground.
As the cabin door opened, under the winter sun, soldiers standing upright offered salutes, their expressions full of respect, admiration, and excitement.
"Greetings, Commander!"
Green uniforms gathered into waves, their powerful presence even pushed the drifting snow from the skies.
"Welcome back to the war zone, Su Mu General Star!"
Su Mu’s eyes gleamed, his lips slightly curved; Uncle Hong had helped him once more. Such an extravagant ceremony was certainly not requested by Su Mu himself, rather he disliked such pomp due to the hassle.
Among the soldiers’ roaring voices, came a singular loud cry.
A streak of red light soared skyward.
At that moment, everyone couldn’t help but be moved. In the sky, the red light unfurled its wings like a rising sun, dispelling the haze, radiant and vigorous, heralding the dawn of hope.
For that brief instant, everyone was somewhat captivated, even the elite Blood Eagle Team’s Zhou Gu General Star, eagerly wanting to train with Su Mu, found himself entranced.
It was as if he saw the embodiment of the war zone’s spirit.
The dawn in Project Dawn had returned to the war zone.
