High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 121 - 114: Exceptional Promotion to Professor, Fame Spreads Through Shenjiang
This is a Sword Momentum Map made from the skin of an unknown Fierce Beast. It depicts a mighty Horse-cutting Long Saber but is incomplete; Su Mu guesses it’s barely fifty percent complete.
The Sword Momentum Map is a type of Martial Arts True Intent Map.
The creator needs to have mastered an extremely high level of Sword Momentum, said to be at least the Great Success level to finish preserving a Sword Momentum Map.
At the same time, creating the map itself significantly depletes one’s Sword Momentum, so even those who have reached Great Success in Sword Momentum wouldn’t easily choose to make one.
Moreover, Sword Momentum is the key to becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster. The map can allow martial artists who haven’t grasped Sword Momentum to directly feel its presence, increasing their chances of initiation into Sword Momentum.
For those who have already understood Sword Momentum, the map can also be used to quickly elevate their mastery or to assist in comprehending high-tier sword techniques.
Because of this, Martial Arts True Intent Maps like the Sword Momentum Map are extremely precious.
Su Mu carefully felt the Sword Momentum; it carried a decisive edge among its sharpness, while his own Sword Momentum was mixed with a domineering aggressiveness.
"Sword Momentum is a manifestation of Martial Arts Will; indeed, everyone’s Sword Momentum is different."
"Let’s test the effect first."
Using the Sword Momentum Map is simple; President Li Yue said it just requires the infusion of Qi and Blood.
As Su Mu infused it with Qi and Blood, the Horse-cutting Long Saber on the map illuminated, then burst into radiant light. In a trance, Su Mu entered a wondrous realm.
He slowly closed his eyes, and before him in the darkness, a figure condensed from sharpness appeared, holding a Horse-cutting Long Saber identical to the one on the map, their back facing Su Mu.
The next second.
The figure swung a saber.
Instantly, the world in front of him changed; Su Mu seemed to be on a battlefield, with the sounds of slaughter shaking the heavens, the scent of blood overwhelming, and comrades fighting alongside the figure falling one after another, leaving only the figure solitary and alone.
In front of him was a seemingly endless wave of enemies. Facing the siege, the figure emanated a fierce determination, gripping his Horse-cutting Long Saber and swinging fiercely.
"What a terrifying Sword Momentum, this is Sword Momentum comprehended from the blood and corpses of the battlefield!"
"As expected of a Martial Arts True Intent Map, it’s incredible to glimpse the entire process of how the master of Sword Momentum understood it, which is greatly beneficial for improving Sword Momentum."
The figure continuously swung one saber after another, and soon a forceful sharpness formed, which was the origin of this Sword Momentum, as Su Mu carefully comprehended it.
In the underground Cultivation Room, a forceful Sword Momentum soon exuded from Su Mu, gradually ascending.
At some point, Su Mu woke up, and his eyes flashed with sharpness.
Unknowingly, it was already the next morning, more than half a day had passed, yet to Su Mu it seemed just like a moment had passed, and he was pleasantly surprised.
Trying to wade across on his own versus standing on the shoulders of a giant was a completely different level of efficiency.
After this single night, Su Mu felt his Sword Momentum had improved, more evidently than in the past month.
"As expected of the Sword Momentum Map!"
Su Mu’s eyes shone brightly, but he didn’t continue to comprehend it. He planned to first digest it by himself, since he realized that when he now executed Sword Momentum, the scene of the battlefield unceasingly replayed in his mind.
"This is that person’s Sword Momentum, not mine, Su Mu’s Sword Momentum."
Immediately, he closed his eyes again to digest. He wanted to absorb the pure Sword Momentum from the map and fully make it his own, rather than becoming that figure.
...
While Su Mu was immersed in the comprehension of Sword Momentum.
News of the rankings from the Three Cities Training Camp quickly spread, startling the high-level members of Shenjiang Martial Arts University, leaving them dumbfounded.
They even suspected there might be a mistake somewhere.
But they had no choice but to believe it, since it was a commendation directly announced by the city, and President Li Yue of the City Martial Arts Association Headquarters had already personally gone to award it.
"Our Shenjiang Martial Arts University’s Teacher Su Mu topped the Three Cities Talent Training Camp?!"
"Isn’t Teacher Su from the Forging Academy, and isn’t he only at the Fourth Level?"
"He even surpassed a Spiritual Talent from South China Martial Arts University in the final ranking battle... the opponent was also from the prominent Tantai Family in Guangshen Province!"
In the conference room, Dean Lin’s face was full of disbelief. Upon hearing the news of Su Mu topping the Three Cities Talent Training Camp, his pupils contracted sharply, and he fell into a long silence.
Just over half a year ago, Su Mu was merely a security guard at the school, borrowing money here and there, which led Zhou Lei to lend him nine thousand five hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.
At that time, he considered Su Mu as just a so-called fair-weather friend, someone he looked down upon. He guessed most of the money Zhou Lei lent would not be returned.
Later, when Su Mu faced the threat of expulsion and Zhou Lei came to plead on his behalf, Dean Lin was unwilling to intervene.
Even though Su Mu’s subsequent actions changed his perspective, as he not only quickly repaid the money but also returned it in double, true to his word.
At that time, Su Mu was still just a small figure; if not for Elder Wang’s final intervention, he wouldn’t have any significant impression of Su Mu.
A few months later, Su Mu survived the battlefield, being one of the three survivors. Dean Lin simply assumed Su Mu was lucky, that killing a Fifth Level Alien Race relied extensively on the miasma.
Yet, a few months after that, Su Mu quietly surpassed the geniuses of the Three Cities, topping the Three Cities Joint Training Camp!
Dean Lin understood the significance of the Three Cities Training Camp. Otherwise, President Li Yue wouldn’t personally visit, and with five salutes, award Su Mu in his village with the esteemed city champion honor.
