High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 403 - 322: An Even Stronger Sea of Blood, the Might of the Battle Array, One Strike Burns the Mountain!

Under the influence of immortal cells, once broken and then re-established, everything became much stronger.

"Without destruction there can be no construction, the strength of the blood sea has increased by at least 30%!"

"Not bad, this is indeed a pleasant surprise."

Su Mu was delighted in his heart, then he let his body and the immortal cells instinctively devour the spirit marrow liquid, while he himself began to divide his mind into three thoughts, comprehending three different Three Flowers Techniques.

The "Cyan Lotus Martial Seed", "Three Flowers of the Sage", and "Formless Three Flowers" slowly emerged in Su Mu’s sea of consciousness.

At a certain moment, Su Mu reluctantly withdrew from cultivation, only to realize belatedly that a swimming pool’s worth of tens of thousands of catties of spirit marrow liquid had been consumed completely.

If all this spirit marrow were used to revive the golden blood sea, it could restore a lot of Qi and Blood, but Su Mu chose not to do so, and instead began to tirelessly cultivate a second immortal cell.

Su Mu also carefully selected this second immortal cell, located at the heart, the foremost of the five viscera.

"Cultivating immortal cells is truly a bottomless pit, with so much spirit marrow poured in, the progress is less than one-tenth..."

Su Mu couldn’t help but sigh a little.

In the days that followed, during the day spent with family and friends, Su Mu devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation at night. With every minute and every second, as his Qi and Blood recovered, Su Mu’s strength was growing rapidly.

But Su Mu knew very well that this was only secondary. The deficiency of Qi and Blood didn’t actually affect him much as he already had immortal cells.

"Next, when the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool completes the root bone, when I fully integrate the Three Flowers Techniques to step onto the Path of the Grandmaster, and when the second immortal cell is born, that will be the real explosion of my power!"

"Since I’m participating, my only target is to be first in the military exercise!"

When one devotes oneself fully to something, time flies by in the blink of an eye, and in no time, it was the third day.

Su Mu reluctantly withdrew from cultivation and summoned with his spiritual power.

"Foodie."

A gust of wind howled, and amidst the high-pitched cries, a crimson stream of light cut through the sky, shooting towards Su Mu, who gently patted Foodie’s shiny feathers.

"Let’s go, today we’ll visit the Blood Eagle Team."

...

As the ace of the Southern War Zone, a large area was specially designated for the Blood Eagle Team in the war zone, including a vast stretch of the Fierce Beast Mountain Range used for the Blood Eagle’s daily activities and to maintain their wild nature.

Looking at the map, the training grounds of the Blood Eagle Team are as large as one-fifth of Shenjiang City’s size.

For a combat unit with less than ten thousand formal members, the treatment that the Southern War Zone gives to the Blood Eagle Team is quite generous.

A sharp cry suddenly echoed through the sky, reverberating across the heavens and the earth.

A crimson stream of light shot straight into the clouds, then one after another, rising into the air, forming a crimson array in the sky. Each crimson stream of light in the array exuded strong Qi and Blood, as their blood energy rose like wolf smoke.

Billowing wolf smoke surged upwards, reaching the sky.

In the next moment.

A roar thundered through the heavens.

"Wind-Raising!"

The crimson streams of light began to change formation, the orderly array transformed into a long serpent, swaying and dancing.

The wind has no fixed form, attaches to the sky, transforms into a serpent, its meaning becomes profound, the wind can stir things, all things revolve around it, the serpent can coil, the three armies fear it.

This formation is the Wind-Raising Battle Array.

"Attack!"

The crimson serpent danced, suddenly shooting towards the mountain range below, as the rolling smoke of Qi and Blood gathered within the formation, then poured into the front of the formation at the serpent’s head.

Finally, a terrifying ball of flame descended from the sky, in an instant, the power of flames raged between heaven and earth, and then the wind assisted the fire’s might, the fire serpent rapidly transforming into a massive dragon of flames hundreds of meters long, incinerating a distant mountain peak with just one strike.

From the scorched earth seen in the distance, this was just routine training for the Blood Eagle Team.

After one strike, the long serpent dispersed, reforming into an array.

"The Blood Eagle Team welcomes Su Mu General Star!"

A thunderous roar resounded across the sky, and the previously red streams of light were revealed to be majestic, blood-colored eagles with sharp gazes.

On the backs of these great eagles sat warriors with heads held high, clad in blood-colored battle armor, wielding riding spears several meters long.

Zhou Gu, on a jeep, displayed pride and spoke with a tone of pride.

"This formation is the Wind-Raising Battle Array, arranged by the first battalion of our Blood Eagle Team, although the battalion leader did not personally participate, what do you think of this strike, Su Mu?"

One strike to burn the mountain!

Su Mu’s eyes flickered, feeling a bit surprised in his heart. This strike somewhat altered his understanding of numbers, previously he believed numbers were difficult to play a role in front of a High Tier Martial Artist.

But at this moment he changed his view, numbers could also play a significant role.

In Su Mu’s eyes, he could see the trajectory of the fire element’s flow between heaven and earth. In that instant, the Wind-Raising Battle Array initially connected the strength of one thousand people and one thousand blood eagles together.

Then the power of a thousand people and a thousand eagles converged to a point, reaching the peak, causing the current strike that burned the mountain.

The power of this strike already surpassed a Martial Arts Grandmaster, reaching the level of a Great Grandmaster.

"This strike would be enough to directly annihilate the former Jing He."

"If it could hit, it would be enough to severely wound that Martial Saint Illusion... the only pity is that from this strike, it seems a bit slow."

"The Martial Saint Illusion could use its high mobility to break the formation individually, even if it didn’t want to break the formation, it could also retreat completely, but beneath the Martial Saint Illusion, when these thousand people are deployed, they would be sufficient to surround and kill any other martial artists, even if it’s a Great Grandmaster, or even Blade Innate."

Su Mu’s thoughts spun rapidly, this strike was indeed very strong, and it brought him quite a shock, but soon Su Mu calmed down.

Because this seemingly shocking strike was somewhat slow.

If he put himself in the same place, if this thousand people were against him, Su Mu, with his speed, this strike wouldn’t hit him, he could completely leave the coverage area before this attack landed.

"The battle array gathers everyone’s strength, concentrating power in one place, but the price is sacrificing some flexibility and speed..."

"This is a bit insufficient when dealing with highly mobile units."

"But the true purpose of the formation is not to crusade against individuals, but to suppress the Beast Cave, suppress the Beast Tide, this strike is enough to exert a terrifying destructive power amidst a beast tide."

"However, there may be other changes to the formation..."

In an instant, Su Mu made his judgment.

In response to the question from Zhou Gu, one of the main instructors of the Blood Eagle Team, Su Mu praised, "The Blood Eagle Team truly is the ace of our Southern War Zone, its fame pales compared to seeing it today, this strike is very strong!"

Hearing Su Mu’s response, Zhou Gu looked very satisfied and immediately let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha, this first battalion has recently added quite a few newcomers, without Chen Bin leading the team, these guys are still much worse than usual, but I’ll have Chen Bin train them well later."

"Of course, this strike wasn’t prepared for you, Su Mu, don’t feel too burdened."

"Come on, I’ll take you to the base first."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu calmly nodded.

"Okay, then I’ll trouble you, Old Zhou."

Foodie tilted its head, looking at the group circling in the sky, its big eyes noticeably dissatisfied. With Foodie’s intelligence, it could understand most human languages, and it could also sense Zhou Gu’s tone.

Su Mu laughed and patted Foodie, signaling it to calm down. Su Mu, with his current Crystal Human Form’s strong spiritual power, was extremely sensitive to emotions. He could sense that Old Zhou had no other intentions.

Zhou Gu, rough on the outside and meticulous on the inside, or rather, always very interested in Foodie, quickly noticed its dissatisfied gaze.

This attitude only delighted Zhou Gu even more.

Zhou Gu looked forward to Foodie’s performance; the first time he saw Foodie, he could see that Foodie was very extraordinary, if Foodie wasn’t Su Mu’s fierce beast, if it were someone else, he would have wanted that person to willingly give it up, as long as the price wasn’t too unreasonable.

Zhou Gu immediately laughed and said.

"We will soon start the martial exercise in the Blood Eagle Team; Su Mu, you should teach those newcomers a lesson, don’t be shy, the harsher the better."

His tone was very casual, yet there was great confidence and assurance.

In Zhou Gu’s view, Su Mu’s personal strength was somewhat elusive to him, clearly not having formed a Grandmaster’s Force Field, yet faintly exerting an invisible pressure even on him.

But today wasn’t a competition of personal strength, Zhou Gu had absolute confidence in the Blood Eagle Team he trained, even if Foodie was exceptionally gifted, relying on innate talent to luckily surpass a Blood Eagle squad leader, it absolutely couldn’t surpass a battalion leader.

"Alright, then I won’t hold back."

Su Mu’s deep eyes twinkled, having observed the mountain-burning strike earlier, his heart was indeed a bit eager.

However, he wasn’t interested in some sort of personal duel...

That would be entirely meaningless.

Su Mu simply wanted to personally experience the power of a thousand-person battle array.
