High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 402 - 322: An Even Stronger Sea of Blood, the Might of the Battle Array, One Strike Burns the Mountain!

The qualification to comprehend the Martial Saint Tower?

Hearing this, Su Mu’s eyes flickered with thought. To be honest, although he did not agree that a martial artist could only rely on external forces to break through to the Ninth Level Martial Saint, he was still very interested in external forces that could help human martial artists achieve such breakthroughs.

The Martial Saint Tower, which enables the birth of a Saint Realm in human martial arts civilization, must be extremely powerful and possesses some profound mysteries.

Moreover, as the only Ninth Level weapon existing since the birth of martial arts civilization on this planet, Su Mu naturally wanted to experience it personally.

"I wonder how far my current flesh is from matching the strength of the Martial Saint Tower?"

Su Mu pondered silently to himself.

Hong Lie was naturally unaware that such an extreme and rebellious thought had arisen in Su Mu’s mind. He nodded secretly, as expected, no one could refuse the qualification to comprehend the Martial Saint Tower, and Su Mu was no exception.

"Therefore, this will be an excellent opportunity for you..."

"But this time, your opponents will not be weak. Just do your best. Even if you don’t make it into the top five, facing strong opponents is a rare opportunity."

Hong Lie spoke earnestly. In his view, it was really a disadvantage for Su Mu, who had just become a Martial Arts Grandmaster, to compete with those seasoned Grandmasters who had immersed themselves in the Grandmaster Realm for years and had accumulated extensive experience.

It’s true that the military department currently lacks a peak Martial Saint.

But aside from that, the military is an enormous entity, with powerful people everywhere.

The military exercises are a competition among the Five Major War Zones. These General Level and General Star participants, who have been on the front lines of the Beast Tide for years, may not have martial arts skills as refined as those under the Martial Saint, but their encounters between life and death and their practical combat experience are incredibly rich.

Therefore, to be honest, Hong Lie wasn’t too optimistic this time. Even if Su Mu could break out from the Southern War Zone, obtaining a top position in the military’s exercise competition would be exceedingly difficult.

But this time it was at the behest of the heads of the Southern Theater Command Headquarters. Thinking of this, Hong Lie couldn’t hide his confusion. The heads seemed to have immense confidence in Su Mu for this military exercise.

In Hong Lie’s view, this confidence was somewhat blind. He didn’t know where the heads’ confidence stemmed from.

And based on past results, the Central War Zone, where the Imperial Capital is located, has dominated the military exercises for more than eight consecutive sessions, while the Southern War Zone has been in third or fourth place, even falling to the bottom last year.

"Perhaps something happened recently..."

That time was indeed the critical point in the negotiation between the military department, the Huaxia Martial Arts Association, and the Overlord Blade Martial Saint, of which Hong Lie knew nothing.

But Hong Lie could never imagine what had to happen to make the heads have such unprecedented confidence in Su Mu, a confidence that even surpassed the previous confidence in Huangfu Tian.

It was as if as long as Su Mu participated this time, he would achieve good results.

If at this moment Hong Lie had known...

Su Mu first killed a Fifth Forging Grandmaster with a punch, one of the Eighteen Masters of the Overlord Blade, Jing He,

and then cut down a Martial Saint Illusion of the Overlord Blade Martial Saint.

Naturally, he would have no such questions anymore.

But this matter, being related to the face of the Martial Saint, meant that the Southern War Zone, and even the military department, paid a great price for this Martial Saint Illusion that Su Mu had cut down. Yet this time, the heads of the Southern Theater Command were not at all angry.

Instead, they were overjoyed, unanimously believing that the price paid to get this glimmer of hope from Su Mu was absolutely worth it, even if it required several times more the price.

Hong Lie was not privy to these hidden details.

Hearing Uncle Hong’s words of "do your best" and seeing the doubt on his face, Su Mu realized that Uncle Hong indeed did not know about him cutting down the Martial Saint Illusion, based on the phone call from Uncle Hong just recently.

"It seems that this matter must have resulted from some secret agreement reached between the military department and the Overlord Blade Martial Saint, which cannot be widely publicized, so Uncle Hong was also not informed."

Thinking of this, Su Mu calmly nodded his head.

"I will try my best."

"I naturally believe in you unconditionally. I will have someone deliver the batch of Spirit Marrow you wanted."

In the quiet of the night.

A flash of spiritual light in Su Mu’s hand poured the Spirit Marrow delivered by Hong Lie into the swimming pool. For Su Mu now, a bathtub was too small; the swimming pool was more convenient.

As the Spirit Marrow filled the swimming pool, Su Mu then crushed dozens of Grandmaster level Fierce Beast Blood Cores into powder and scattered them into the pool. Immediately, the pool of Spirit Marrow Liquid began to boil, bubbling incessantly.

The once milky white Spirit Marrow Liquid turned into a bright red, like magma, shimmering under the moonlight with an incredibly surreal appearance.

"Let’s begin."

At this moment, Su Mu clearly felt his entire body’s flesh yearning for energy consumption, and he stripped off his clothes, submerging himself completely into the pool.

Instantly, his flesh turned into a terrifying energy black hole, greedily devouring the customized pool of Spirit Marrow Liquid.

The Spirit Marrow Liquid surged into Su Mu’s body, and each second of consuming the energy contained in the Spirit Marrow was enough to explode an ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster on the spot.

Time gradually passed by.

The water level in the pool dropped visibly to the naked eye.

One after another, Qi Blood Flood Dragons re-formed within Su Mu’s body, and the golden blood sea was also reigniting.

Oh.

Su Mu couldn’t help but let out a soft exclamation. He discovered that at this moment, both the newly formed Qi Blood Flood Dragons and the re-ignited golden blood sea inside him were faintly circulating with a weak glow.
