High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 122 - 114: Exceptional Promotion to Professor, Fame Spreads Across Shenjiang
Hiss!
Coming back to his senses, Dean Lin suddenly realized that the status between the two had long been reversed. The little figure he once looked down upon had now surpassed him.
Perhaps in the near future, he could only look up to someone like Su Mu.
Because Dean Lin knew that reaching the top of the Three Cities Joint Training Camp would not be the end for a genius like Su Mu. In previous years, the top candidates had shone brightly in the preliminary and qualifying rounds, and some even reached the final knockout stage. Entering the sequence list is not difficult for these geniuses, and achieving the status of Martial Arts Grandmaster is quite possible, even going further!
So, this is merely the beginning of Su Mu’s journey, and he will witness the rise of a great figure from a humble start.
Thinking about this, Dean Lin felt a mix of emotions and couldn’t help but sigh with a complex mood.
"Vision determines the pattern; no wonder someone valued by Elder Wang can rise in just a few months."
"I failed to recognize a great figure when I saw one."
That day, the school’s senior staff held an emergency meeting with only one purpose: to discuss how to reward Su Mu.
"The top candidate of the Three Cities Joint Training Camp, this must be taken seriously!"
"Currently, Su Mu is an advanced lecturer in the Forging Academy. I propose to promote him to associate professor?" One director of the Practical Combat Academy hesitantly spoke. The hesitation was due to Su Mu’s previous promotion to advanced lecturer, which was already a special elevation.
It’s been less than six months, and according to what he knows, Su Mu has never taught a class; promoting him directly to associate professor might be hard to convince others.
But soon, this director was dumbfounded.
"Associate professor? No, let’s make it professor directly, and this needs to be done quickly; this is also the intent of President Li Yue and Principal Qian," Deputy Principal Zhao Dong said.
Immediately, the senior staff of the school collectively gasped, and everyone swallowed hard.
Professor!
In just one year, Su Mu rapidly ascended, soaring from counselor to professor; many tutors spend decades or even a lifetime unable to reach this point!
In one day, the news of Su Mu reaching the top of the Three Cities Joint Training Camp and imminent promotion to professor of the Forging Academy spread like wildfire. Inside the school and on various social media and forums, people were fervently discussing.
"What, did I hear wrong? Is Teacher Su going to be promoted to professor? Teacher Su is going against the heavens; my impression of him still remains on his cafeteria debate with the logistics director, becoming a counselor."
"Anyway, I have seen Teacher Su relentlessly charge ahead; I declare myself his ten-year-old fan!"
"What is this Three Cities Training Camp background? How come I’ve never heard of it before?"
"The training camp is quite significant; surely you know about the Blue Star League tournament."
"Of course I know; this is the grandest martial artist event of our Blue Star. It seems the qualifying rounds are right after Spring Festival."
"The Three Cities Training Camp is the qualification for the preliminary round. The top candidate from the camp is expected to progress from the preliminary to the qualifying rounds, at which time Teacher Su will represent Guangshen Province in the competition. If he stands out, next is South China and Kyoto."
"To give a nationwide martial exam example, Teacher Su is now the top candidate of the city, which is not just our Shenjiang but also includes Qianhai and Gaoshan. If he does well in the qualifying rounds, he could rival a provincial top candidate, and next would be entering Kyoto for Dragon Ascension, achieving Huaxia’s martial top candidate!"
Hiss!
After seeing someone leave such a comment, all the students in Shenjiang Martial Arts University became feverish; one day, could our humble Shenjiang Martial Arts University actually produce a provincial top candidate?
Could they actually attend the same martial arts university as such a notable figure?!
The noise from the outside world didn’t reach Su Mu’s ears; his mind was focused solely on the Sword Momentum Map. The award couldn’t proceed without him present, so over the next few days, all faculty and students of Shenjiang Martial Arts University, and even the outside world, were intensely focused.
Overnight, Su Mu’s name resonated throughout Shenjiang, making headlines in all local newspapers and becoming a common topic of conversation in many households.
At the same time, Su Mu rose to fame as the top candidate not as Wang Shuheng’s disciple but for reaching the summit of the joint training of Shenjiang, Qianhai, Gaoshan, and not appearing even as his fame spread.
A few days passed and the senior staff of the school were restless; the hype was unprecedented, completely unanticipated. Thus, they turned to Wang Shuheng.
"Elder Wang, now there are reporters from major newspapers surrounding the school entrance; this cannot continue as is, should we invite Su Mu to come out and accept the award?"
"This kid is probably buried in cultivation, I guess," Wang Shuheng speculated in his mind.
"Alright, I’ll go find him and ask him to at least come out to become a professor."
This statement sounded a bit strange; many people would be eager to be promoted to professor, but in Wang Shuheng’s words, it sounded nonchalant, and moreover, Su Mu hasn’t appeared as the senior staff haven’t seen him yet.
"Mengmeng, you go and call your senior brother, tell him to come out quickly and stop cultivating." Elder Wang tasked Zhao Meng with the job.
Zhao Meng and Little One were also extremely happy upon hearing the news.
"No wonder Uncle Wolf, I knew he would definitely perform well in the training camp!" Little One spoke with certainty, though was quite surprised at heart.
"Senior brother is just too impressive, the top of the three cities!"
Outside the dormitory, the two tried various methods and made more than ten calls, yet someone was not making any movement.
"How about I call out to senior brother?"
"How can you call out?" Little One was puzzled.
In the next moment, Zhao Meng really called out several times, this time, it was a physical shout.
The bright and powerful voice echoed outside the dormitory building.
Inside the Cultivation Room, Su Mu had just finished comprehending the Sword Momentum and was about to digest when he vaguely heard someone shouting outside.
Su Mu looked puzzled, then took out his phone to see, it was full of missed calls.
...
"Stop shouting... Zhao Meng, stop shouting..."
Little One looked around at the growing crowd of onlookers, somewhat speechless.
However, the next second, her voice came to an abrupt halt, because Su Mu actually appeared.
"Senior brother, you finally came out."
"Uncle Wolf, long time no see."
"It’s Teacher Su, Teacher Su is finally here!"
"Teacher Su, I’m your fan; can we take a photo together?"
"What Teacher Su, now it’s Professor Su, Professor Su, I came first, take a photo with me first!"
Hmm?
Professor Su?
Su Mu felt somewhat helpless; just awakened from cultivation, he was dragged to the school’s auditorium. Now standing at the center of the stage amidst cheers, one might mistake the event as a celebrity fan meet, not realizing they were at a grand school event.
"Su Mu, I now represent Shenjiang Martial Arts University to confer you as Professor of the Forging Department at the Forging Academy."
"From now on, the Musashi Hall will be fully open to you; you may go there anytime to borrow all Martial Arts Classics, including the Fifth Floor."
"And reward you with five million lower-grade Spirit Stones..."
"Su Mu, congratulations, may your martial journey be prosperous!"
The school specially invited Teacher Wang Shuheng as the school’s representative for this event, and Su Mu solemnly accepted the professor’s badge.
"Professor Su, I heard you were unmatched in Sword Momentum when you reached the top; can you demonstrate your Sword Momentum?"
"Yes, show us!"
The whole crowd was cheering, and Elder Wang gave Su Mu a knowing nod.
In the next moment.
A powerful aura of imposing presence emanated from Su Mu’s body, reverberating throughout the hall. The previously gentle Su Mu in everyone’s eyes was suddenly like a sword about to be unsheathed, a Divine Soldier.
Captivating sharpness!
For a moment, the shock on the faces of the school’s senior staff was undeniable, with some even standing up; it was their first time witnessing Su Mu’s Sword Momentum in person.
"Su Mu’s cultivation is indeed diligent, the progress in Sword Momentum is astonishing, no wonder Li Yue was envious," Elder Wang was surprised, Su Mu’s Sword Momentum had clearly strengthened a lot compared to two months ago.
As for the students below the stage, they felt a prickling sensation on their skin, but instead of fear, they let out a roaring cheer like tidal waves.
"Professor Su, Professor Su!"
Among the crowd, someone suddenly swallowed hard, feeling grateful. This person was none other than Wu Jun from South China Martial Arts University, who now showed disbelief without any arrogance.
"Su Mu actually became the top candidate of the Three Cities Training Camp, and even defeated Tantai Yan the monster head-on?"
"How did he do it; there are many who realized Martial Momentum but lost to Tantai Yan in school."
"Sending me to kill Su Mu? That’s sending me to my death!"
Tantai Yan didn’t know Wu Jun, but that doesn’t mean Wu Jun didn’t know Tantai Yan.
After hesitating for a moment, Wu Jun made a decision.
