High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 176 - 160: Promoted Straight to Quasi-Major, Fixed Star Body Refining Technique Entry
Moments later, the storm descended. Amidst the sound of gasping, someone couldn’t help but murmur.
"That alien royal family member is called Nanu? I was wondering why we hadn’t seen any aliens, turns out they were slaughtered, and the rest were captured?"
A shocking statement!
Everyone stared intently at the Space Gate, suddenly realizing that their attention had previously been focused on the alien prisoners, completely neglecting this aspect.
"Killing an alien royal member in the Qi Blood Secret Realm, who exactly is this Su Mu?"
"Isn’t this Su Mu too strong? But there seems to be no Martial Arts Family with the surname Su in our Guangshen Province, right?"
"No, there isn’t."
"Then where did this Su Mu come from?"
"It seems he’s from Shenjiang City? It’s said that at first, he was the top at the training camp in Shenjiang, Gaoshan, and Qianhai, and not long ago, he obtained the Third Level Sequence. It’s said he passed the seventh floor of the Grandmaster Tower on his first attempt, but then the tower had an anomaly. Looking at it now, he might be able to go even further!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but picture in their minds a peerless talent from a small place, transforming into a dragon when encountering a storm—a legendary tale.
Su Mu is like that golden carp lying in deep waters, now ready to stir up storms, and soon he will soar to the sky!
Lu Ming, the Major from the Southern War Zone, finally understood why the war zone placed such importance on this Su Mu. This person might break through to become a Great Grandmaster in the future, a potential star of the war zone!
This matter is of great importance, and the current situation has actually exceeded his control.
"Chai Wu, you should immediately leave the battlefield, then report everything to the war zone and request reinforcements."
"Li Jianguo, go out and contact our comrades in Qianhai City, and have them strengthen the defenses of the alien battlefield, ready to support at any time."
...
"Everyone else, split up to escort the alien prisoners, ensuring no mishaps."
Numerous war zone captains were assigned tasks by Lu Ming and swiftly executed them.
...
"What? This kid Su Mu ventured alone into the alien base within the Qi Blood Secret Realm?"
"Killed over a hundred elite Fifth Level aliens and even killed the alien royal family member with a single slash?"
"And captured fifty-eight elite Fifth Level aliens this time?!"
"Alright, I understand, reinforcements will be dispatched immediately, and as the war zone develops, report to me at once. I need to be informed of the battlefield updates at all times."
After the initial communication with Zhong Guoping, Hong Lie reported Su Mu’s astonishing qi and blood levels and purity. To maintain confidentiality and minimize information leakage, the war zone immediately assigned Hong Lie to handle matters concerning Su Mu.
Hanging up the phone, Major General Hong Lie looked incredulous, as Su Mu once again brought him tremendous surprise.
"Good kid, well done!"
"Killing a hundred aliens alone, capturing fifty-eight elite Fifth Level aliens, rescuing the Tantai Family’s Spiritual Talent Martial Artist. In the Qi Blood Secret Realm, he even reversed the situation by killing the alien royal member. Each of these feats is no small accomplishment."
"Being trapped at the Relic Tower in the core of the Secret Realm this time is also an opportunity for this kid. Once the opportunity is obtained, he’ll naturally be transported out, though missing the preliminary competition doesn’t matter."
"Now Su Mu has both a resume and battle merits."
"Is it possible that this kid will be promoted from Sergeant to Major in one step?"
Hong Lie laughed heartily, remembering how it took him twelve years to climb from enlistment to the lowest rank of Quasi-Major, which was already considered fast. If his guesses are true.
Su Mu might become the fastest-promoted individual in the entire Southern War Zone, or even the Five Major War Zones, and there’s almost no precedent for this.
After the exuberance, Hong Lie didn’t hesitate and immediately mobilized personnel, while also conveying the information to the higher echelons of the war zone.
...
Immediately, the Qianhai City Military Base began dispatching personnel, multiple armed helicopters took to the air.
At the Qianhai City Martial Arts Association Headquarters, several presidents also received the mobilization orders.
"Chairman Sun, presidents, this is the Southern War Zone’s emergency call to arms. The people on the list must gather immediately, then head to the Qianhai City alien battlefield. Please set out at once!"
The Qianhai City Martial Arts Association President was shocked. Such a large-scale mobilization—could it be that the aliens in the city’s battlefield are about to start an all-out war?
"Alright." Chairman Sun didn’t dare hesitate and immediately accepted the orders.
When Chairman Sun arrived at the scene by armed helicopter, he was surprised once again, as the other two Grandmasters of Qianhai City were already present. Once gathered, the Qianhai City Martial Arts Grandmasters looked at each other in astonishment.
"Can anyone tell me what’s happened here?"
Outside the battlefield, several Martial Arts Grandmasters stood ready, the battlefield continued to roar, and numerous Sixth Level Martial Artists entered the fray one after another!
On the alien side, Nanu was not to be seen in their camp, and with the Space Gate of the Secret Realm closed, their expressions turned exceptionally grim. Everyone realized a possibility but was unwilling to admit it.
"With such a huge human mobilization... Nanu might already be dead."
"This, how is this possible?"
"How could it not be? We dispatched nearly two hundred warriors, and the result?"
"Captured dozens of people by humans, and not one could walk out standing." The leading Sixth Level Alien’s voice was filled with rage, their eyes almost spitting fire.
"Retreat, everyone fall back to the battlefield entrance, ready to evacuate at any moment."
"Just retreat like this? Nanu’s body given to the humans just like that? We need to take it back..."
"Damn it, then tell me, what else can we do now?"
The battlefield roared with deafening noise, with the human side advancing aggressively, showing signs of fully engaging in battle. They, unable to get information from within the Secret Realm, were caught off guard, and now it’s too late to request reinforcements.
Even though Nanu is now dead, and the body has fallen into the hands of human warriors, with dozens captured alive, they can only secretly accept this loss for now.
...
Shenjiang Martial Arts University, Forging Academy.
The sound of clanging metal echoed thunderously.
A man with a bare upper body was tirelessly swinging a hammer.
"Uncle Li, take a break for a moment."
"Alright."
The man put down the hammer, took the fruit Zhao Meng handed over, took a bite, and was struck by its intense fragrance and juiciness, eyes lighting up, "Oh, what fruit is this?"
"There’s not much of it left if we eat it now, but it’s no big deal." Wang Shuheng approached, meticulously inspecting the meteorite iron embryo on the forging table.
"Mengmeng, go fetch the inscribed manuscript from that drawer for me."
"Teacher, I’ll go get it right away."
After sending Zhao Meng off, Wang Shuheng spoke with slightly narrowed eyes.
"This isn’t right, the hammering is obviously uneven here, this area needs attention."
"And here as well."
Pointing out several shortcomings in succession, the hammer-wielding person’s face reddened slightly. Anyone witnessing this scene would be utterly shocked, for the bare-chested individual was none other than...
The President of Shenjiang City Martial Arts Association, Li Yue!
Back then, the other hammer-wielding person referred to by Wang Shuheng was indeed the Grandmaster Martial Artist Li Yue.
...
"Xiaoyue, today your uncle and aunt will take you to the amusement park, okay?"
"I heard from Miaomiao that you want a sword, Uncle will take you to have a look as well." Jiang Dashu whispered to Xiaoyue.
With the year’s end approaching, Linjiang Base Central Library was in the midst of its annual book sorting and internal review. Today, as the librarian, Miaomiao couldn’t step away as her brother’s family came to visit, which worked out well.
"Brother, I’m entrusting Xiaoyue to you today."
"Don’t worry, Miaomiao, go ahead with your work. I am Xiaoyue’s real uncle, you can rely on me."
Jiang Dashu was all smiles; becoming the next village head of East Village was already a certainty. Recently, several town leaders have approached him, and he saw a bright future in his official career.
Even the old man took up a deputy chairman position in the town’s writer association, which delighted him immensely.
Jiang Dashu knew that all of this was thanks to his good brother-in-law, Su Mu. Previously, he didn’t recognize greatness when he saw it, but now he intends to maintain close ties.
Su Mu had become a prominent figure, not easily approachable in daily life, and Jiang Dashu realized it was hard to change Su Mu’s perception of him.
Therefore, he decided to start with Miaomiao and Xiaoyue, being a good uncle to Xiaoyue was natural.
...
Land of the Secret Realm, Stone Cave.
On the desolate land, a giant over ten meters tall sat cross-legged in the valley alone, continuously performing various bizarre postures.
The first thirty-three movements of the Fixed Star Body Refining Technique, with hundreds of variations, were executed one after another. Despite a sense of difficulty, they were still performed in one go.
"To string all thirty-three movements together, the small cycle of training is achieved... Fixed Star Body Refining Technique has officially been initiated!"
The giant couldn’t help but show delight.
This peculiar-behaving isolated giant was actually Su Mu’s embodiment. In his giant form, comprehending the Fixed Star Body Refining Technique felt almost divinely aided, encountering virtually no obstacles; everything flowed naturally.
Soon after, the world before his eyes became blurred, signaling the depletion of blood. He had grown accustomed to this over time.
Su Mu exhaled lightly, opening his eyes to find a pair of eyes staring at him from close by. Tantai Yan’s face showed shock, hesitantly speaking.
"Su Mu... I feel like you’ve changed from before? Completely different... almost like the difference between the Alien Race and Nanu?"
Su Mu’s eyes glimmered; as expected of a Spiritual Talent, this girl possessed a keen perception.
"It might be because I’ve made some breakthroughs in Qi and Blood. Since the breakthrough is recent, the state is a bit unstable."
"Is... that so?"
"You were waiting for me, right? You have something to tell me?" Su Mu, noticing Tantai Yan’s expression, asked.
"Su Mu... we might be trapped, it should be the fourth day by now."
"Moreover, Su Mu, look... this is all that’s left of the Blood Core." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Tantai Yan opened her palm, revealing the last piece of Blood Core, her voice tinged with unease.
