High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 140 - 127: Grandmaster Tower Mutation, The Terrifying Qi and Blood Spanning 2 Great Realms
Before the words fell, an unusual aura suddenly spread through the Grandmaster Tower, as if it were restless and agitated.
Soon, all eight levels of the Grandmaster Tower lit up, with the first six levels glowing blue, the seventh purple, and the eighth orange, the three colors blending together.
In the next instant.
A figure was forcibly teleported out, with a somewhat bewildered expression; it was surprisingly Su Mu, who had entered the Grandmaster Tower earlier.
At the moment Su Mu appeared, the lights on all eight levels of the Grandmaster Tower vanished, growing dim and lifeless. At the same time, the Grandmaster Tower emitted a long, strange sound that echoed between heaven and earth.
"What on earth happened?"
Xiaoyun from the Provincial Martial Arts Association exclaimed in surprise and doubt, and the three people’s eyes landed on Su Mu’s back.
...
"Next is the seventh level!"
The phosphorescence from the first floor refined five hundred drops of Condensed Blood.
The second floor refined six hundred drops.
The third floor refined seven hundred drops.
The fourth floor refined eight hundred and fifty-three drops.
The fifth floor refined nine hundred and fifty drops.
The sixth floor refined one thousand one hundred drops.
Su Mu felt his heart filled with Condensed Blood, giving him an increasing sense of security. Coupled with the six hundred plus drops he had already refined, the Condensed Blood in his heart now neared five thousand drops.
The scene before his eyes shifted, and Su Mu ascended the seventh level stairs.
"Secret of Power!"
At the instant the figure moved, Su Mu felt the air solidify, making him exceptionally excited and thrilled, his heart growing in anticipation.
But just as the figure swung a blade, even before the blade was completed, it collapsed on its own...
"Could it be that the Secret of Power surpassed the level of the Grandmaster Tower?"
"Because it couldn’t simulate the Secret of Power, the figure collapsed?"
Su Mu’s mind raced, and he could only come up with this possibility, which made his expression a bit peculiar.
After the figure’s collapse, a shattered purple phosphorescence drifted into his forehead, but this time there was no qi and blood reward.
What happened next was even more bizarre.
Su Mu hadn’t yet ascended the eighth level stairs, but the eighth level unexpectedly triggered on its own. The scene shifted, and he saw the figure on the eighth level, whose color had changed from purple to a more striking and powerful orange.
However, this time...
Su Mu did nothing, and the figure on the eighth level collapsed directly, seemingly wanting to use a stronger Secret of Power that led to its self-destruction, which made perfect sense, and Su Mu deeply agreed.
Just when Su Mu thought he was about to be escorted to the top of the ninth level, and even speculated whether the figure on the ninth level would be golden, after acquiring the shattered purple phosphorescence of the eighth level...
The course of events once again defied Su Mu’s expectations.
He didn’t get to see the ninth level. Instead, he was directly teleported out of the Grandmaster Tower.
Recovering his senses, Su Mu found himself back outside the tower, with the bright afternoon sun, somewhat dazzling.
...
"Mr. Su, did you actually clear the eighth level on your first attempt?" Xiaoyun exclaimed, breaking the silence on the field.
At these words, whether it was the elder from the Lin Family or Sikong River, they suddenly awakened, with fiery gazes looking over, especially Sikong River, whose face showed respect and a strong battle intent, resonating with admiration for the strong.
Su Mu shook his head directly, stating that it was the figure in the Grandmaster Tower that self-destructed, unrelated to him.
"Then why did the eighth level light up with orange light?"
"I only saw the figure on the eighth level and didn’t defeat it; it collapsed on its own." Su Mu spoke the truth.
But at that moment, everyone immediately ignored the last half of the sentence, their attention entirely on the first half.
To have seen the figure on the eighth level yet not defeated it meant that he directly cleared the seventh level on his first attempt, and according to the orange light illuminating the eighth level after which Su Mu was immediately teleported out.
The three speculated that Su Mu was instantly killed on the eighth level.
But having stepped directly onto the eighth level on his first attempt was already incredibly astonishing!
The rumbling of the Grandmaster Tower continued, and the anomaly quickly attracted the attention of the Provincial Martial Arts Association base. Soon, the vicinity of the Grandmaster Tower was blocked off by armed vehicles, with people from the Martial Arts Association pouring in like a tide.
"Can anyone tell me what happened?"
A burly man with a jarring scar across his neck arrived, a look of astonishment on his sombre face. He had been with the Provincial Martial Arts Association for years, yet this was the first time he had seen such an anomaly at the Grandmaster Tower.
"What did you four do? Why did the Grandmaster Tower experience such an anomaly?"
"Director Guan." Xiaoyun quickly called out and began to explain the situation, "We didn’t do anything. No, earlier, Mr. Su entered the Grandmaster Tower for the first time, reached the eighth level, and after the orange light flashed, the Grandmaster Tower ended up like this."
Guan Wu looked shocked, stepping into the eighth level on the first entry into the Grandmaster Tower. This achievement was even more impressive than Sikong Ba’s. Sikong Ba had stumbled on the seventh level during his first time and only reached the eighth level the second time.
But he had no impression of this young man before him. This person’s last name was Su, and he wasn’t from a Martial Arts Family. Which major force secretly nurtured this genius?
At that moment, Su Mu was also a bit alarmed. As soon as Guan Wu appeared, he could vaguely feel a sense of oppression; this person was a Martial Arts Grandmaster like Uncle Li, and perhaps even stronger.
However, a Martial Arts Grandmaster could only serve as a director in the Provincial Martial Arts Association. Allegedly, there were three vice-presidents and one president in the Provincial Martial Arts Association. Could all these people be Great Grandmasters?
Before long, several elders arrived, led by a tall, thin elder wearing glasses. Guan Wu called out, "Elder Ning."
"Everyone move aside."
Elder Ning began to inspect the Grandmaster Tower with his team, and his expression grew serious during the inspection. He found that he couldn’t enter the Grandmaster Tower anymore, though the space inscriptions on the tower’s door were undamaged, with no signs of external sabotage. The anomaly was triggered internally within the Grandmaster Tower.
But when a person enters the Grandmaster Tower, their body falls into a coma, and they only challenge using a consciousness projection. How could one cause damage internally under such circumstances?
At the very least, someone below Grandmaster Level couldn’t do it. However, if a Grandmaster entered the Grandmaster Tower, it would trigger an alarm immediately.
"Strange, I’ve never seen such an anomaly in my life."
...
The Grandmaster Tower was of great concern; even the elder from the Lin Family and Sikong River were taken away.
After learning Elder Ning’s suppositions, under Guan Wu’s direct supervision, the four on site underwent a comprehensive examination.
Elder Lin from the Lin Family, Sixth Level Peak, Qi and Blood: 19,315 Calories.
Sikong River, Sixth Level Initial Stage, Qi and Blood: 11,005 Calories.
Zhou Yun, Fourth Level Initial Stage, Qi and Blood: 1,655 Calories.
This examination was very thorough, so when Guan Wu received Su Mu’s test report, his expression once again revealed shock, his pupils contracting sharply.
"How is this possible!"
"Su Mu, Fourth Level Peak, abnormal strength of the Five Viscera, without refining the external organs, muscles, and meridians, Qi and Blood: 9,215 Calories..."
"His internal Qi and Blood is about to reach Fifth Level Peak, yet he is just a Fourth Level Peak Martial Artist and hasn’t refined any organs outside of the Five Viscera. How is this possible?"
In an instant, a thought of the special existence of the red-skinned Alien Race crossed Guan Wu’s mind. The Alien Race’s research and cultivation of Qi and Blood surpass that of human Martial Artists, and the Bloodline Alien Race is a standout among them.
"But even their Qi and Blood couldn’t span two Great Realms like this, could they?"
