Chapter 424 - 333: Farewell, 5 Special Inscriptions, Road of No Return!
The Southern War Zone is located in the region of the Giant Beast Cave. Due to the influence of the Invisible Force Field surrounding the Beast Cave, the cold of winter far surpasses that of South China provinces.
At dawn, a hint of pale light appeared in the sky. Overnight, a thick layer of snow accumulated on the eaves and streets.
Last night, Teacher Wang Shuheng, Xiaoyue’s grandparents, and others began to pack their clothes, planning to leave the war zone.
"Su Mu, come up and chat with me."
Teacher Wang Shuheng waved from the rooftop.
The teacher and student stood on the rooftop of the third floor, gazing into the ice and snow land. Wang Shuheng spoke directly.
"Su Mu, let me see your armor."
Armor?
Su Mu knew the teacher was referring to the Golden Essence Armor. Without hesitation, he focused his thoughts, and the golden blood instantly merged with the Golden Essence Qi nurtured in his lungs, forming an armor that enveloped his five viscera, six viscera, and meridians before the golden armor manifested on the surface of his body.
Seeing this armor up close, Wang Shuheng’s eyes shimmered with unusual brilliance, narrowing slightly.
"Can I touch it?"
"Of course you can."
Su Mu extended his hand, detaching the armor from his body, and handed it over.
With eyes slightly squinted, Wang Shuheng adjusted his breathing, and then, as if seeing a rare treasure, he gently touched it.
"Such a wondrous existence... Su Mu, if I’m not mistaken, this should be armor formed by the Blood Soldier Secret Technique, right?" Wang Shuheng lifted his gaze, eyes burning.
Su Mu nodded. Earlier, the teacher had used the Nameless Breathing Technique, and its similar aura was undeniable to the teacher.
"Yes, this is indeed formed by the Blood Soldier Secret Technique, but not entirely from the Blood Soldier Secret Technique."
"Haha, I’ve truly accepted a monstrous disciple. It seems you’ve long mastered the Breathing Technique I taught you; otherwise, it would be impossible to grasp the Blood Soldier Secret Technique. Alright, take it back."
After Su Mu retrieved the armor, Wang Shuheng’s hand flickered with spiritual light, producing a small stack of manuscripts.
"This is for you."
Su Mu took the manuscripts. The first thing he saw was a fairly simple Inscription, which appeared to be related to Qi and Blood enhancement.
"Qi and Blood Enhancement Inscription?"
"You still recognize some of it. Your Spiritual Power is different from ordinary people. What I’m teaching you now are not High Tier Inscriptions, but the most basic ones. Basic Inscriptions are the foundation of all high-tier Inscriptions. I estimate you’ll master it after twenty or thirty attempts..."
"Though these Inscriptions are basic, they possess unique characteristics, having extremely high potential for continuous stacking. However, since ordinary martial artists’ weapons are limited by size and material strength, infinite stacking is not possible.
In this regard, the material formed by the Blood Soldier Secret Technique will have a higher tolerance for Inscriptions. How many layers can be stacked depends entirely on your understanding of these Inscriptions and the intensity of your Spiritual Power. These Inscriptions are not difficult for you."
Listening to this, Su Mu’s eyes brightened. He had overlooked this aspect, even as a disciple of a Grandmaster Rune Master.
After the second transformation of his flesh, Su Mu used the Golden Essence Armor less frequently, recently deploying it only to save someone.
Su Mu had planned to trade with Yuri to acquire more Blood Soldiers for enhancement. Now, Teacher Wang Shuheng provided another perspective. These two approaches were not conflicting and could be pursued together.
"Furthermore, if I haven’t guessed wrong, you’ve mastered this armor since your time at the Ye Family. Back then, Mengmeng sent a sword back, mentioning: ’Brother has a strange armor...’"
"Initially, I didn’t think much, but now I realize you must have mastered it back then. I guess this armor can undergo certain transformations, which is surprising. It’s supposed to be difficult, but perhaps my understanding of the Blood Soldier Secret Technique has gaps."
"Anyway, you can try these Inscriptions later. As for other assistance, there’s not much more I, as a teacher, can give you. You’re already a big tree, and I’m looking forward to the day you grow into a towering giant..."
As he said this, Wang Shuheng patted Su Mu’s shoulder.
"And if there’s anything you want to say, just speak out."
Su Mu’s eyes flickered, his Spiritual Power spread from within him, enveloping the two. Wang Shuheng looked surprised, realizing that Su Mu’s next words would be significant.
"Teacher, there’s some conflict between me and the Overlord Blade Martial Saint... So, I hope you can stay in the war zone."
On hearing this.
Wang Shuheng was momentarily stunned. Conflict between his disciple and the Overlord Blade Martial Saint?
It must be related to that incident at Celestial Cloud Mountain with the Overlord Blade Saint Martial Hall, right?
Su Mu noticed the change in the teacher’s expression, knowing he misunderstood. He calmly spoke, "Teacher, not long ago, I slew an illusion of the Overlord Blade Martial Saint."
Despite the calm tone, Wang Shuheng felt as if his mind was struck by a heavy blow. It took him a moment to swallow and regain sense.
"You... you mean... you killed an illusion of the Martial Saint?!"
The Martial Saint is a pinnacle in martial arts, and even a mere illusion is incredibly terrifying.
"Yes, but this matter is already past. Recently, the Huaxia Martial Arts Association and the Military Department have stepped in to support me."
Wang Shuheng stared intently at Su Mu, trying to find signs of jest, but there were none.
For a time, tumultuous waves surged in his heart. Even though Su Mu had not yet become a Grandmaster, he could reverse slay an illusion of the Martial Saint. This strength probably surpasses most Martial Arts Grandmasters!
