High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 309 - 260: Two Exceptional Cases, Entering General Star, the Might of the Crystal Human Form! (Part 2)
"In short, the weight of the General Star List within the war zone is not less than that of the three lists of Huaxia, but even higher!"
Just three minutes after the commendation texts from Huaxia, everyone in South China received two more commendation messages.
[All officers and soldiers of the branch war zones, including Yun Province and Your Province, performed excellently and fought bravely in the recent beast tide defense battle. We specially commend them and call upon Huaxia Martial Artists to actively join the army and learn from the soldiers of these branch war zones.]
[In view of Su Mu’s outstanding battle achievements during the Yun Province beast tide, where he fearlessly faced powerful enemies and bravely held the line, the Southern War Zone has approved Su Mu’s promotion to become a member of the Southern War Zone’s General Stars, ranking ninety-eighth...]
"Wow, Su Mu is really defying the heavens! In less than a year in the war zone, he directly bypassed ranks from sergeant to three-star general level, and even entered the General Star List."
"It’s a pity that the battle merits haven’t been made public. Otherwise, I really want to know what kind of astonishing battle achievements Su Mu achieved in this Yun Province beast tide, which allowed him to directly enter the General Stars through two exceptional promotions!"
The successive commendation texts quickly topped various platforms, and Su Mu’s name once again surged to the top of the hot searches, making him famous in Huaxia once more in a short time.
When the news reached Shenjiang Martial Arts University, Miaomiao was not delighted at first but worried. Others, at first glance, saw words like ’exceptional promotion’ and ’General Star.’
But in Miaomiao’s eyes, the first thing she saw was the beast tide. Only then did she realize that her husband’s mission this time was to suppress the Yun Province beast tide. After reading several commendation messages,
Miaomiao’s tightly clenched hands slowly loosened. She quietly let out a breath, finally showing pride, joy, and happiness.
In the forging room, after Wang Shuheng finished reading the messages, he slowly uttered a sentence after a long time.
"Too rigid, easily broken? This doesn’t apply to Su Mu at all."
"A monster is a monster after all!"
In the courtyard of East Village, Xiaoyue’s grandmother and the old man read the messages and immediately made a video call to Miaomiao, barely able to hide their ecstatic expressions, announcing their plan to hold a grand feast in the village.
"Mom and Dad, Su Mu himself hasn’t even returned yet, who are you planning the feast for?" Miaomiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
"Uh? Seems like that’s the case..."
...
Unlike the civilians outside the war zone, Shi Hao and Xu Zhi were both soldiers, and they had personally participated in this Yun Province beast tide. When they learned that Su Mu was involved in this Yun Province beast tide and even made it to the General Star List due to his battle merits,
Boom-----
For a moment, both of them felt their scalps go numb, as if their brains were struck hard, and they went completely blank.
They had already learned that all the soldiers of the 996th Division had perished in the beast tide, but there was no mention from the division headquarters about who exactly had held the line where the 996th was deployed, which was rather unusual.
Because it could be said that whoever held the line for the 996th Division saved the 577th Division they were in. The division headquarters had no reason not to mention their ’benefactor.’
Now the answer finally surfaces, perhaps not because the division HQ didn’t want to mention it, but because the matter was so significant that not even their division HQ had the clearance to know the specifics.
Immediately, the two were severely shaken...
They speculated that those most difficult days might have been when Su Mu led the defense where the 996th Division was deployed.
At the same time, Shi Hao and Xu Zhi noticed the use of the term ’lone defense line’ in the first and third commendation messages.
"Lone defense... lone defense?!"
The two looked at each other, swallowing hard.
"Could it be...?"
"Su Mu was defending alone..."
Instantly, Shi Hao and Xu Zhi were frightened by their own insane guess, opening and closing their mouths without being able to continue speaking. If this were true, Su Mu would be unbelievably monstrous—could he really still be human?
If not, they had difficulty imagining any other possibility that could have allowed Su Mu to directly enter the General Stars through exceptional promotion.
After a long silence, Shi Hao finally sighed.
"So, this time it was Su Mu who saved us..."
...
On the silver steps, Su Mu was enveloped in a shimmering silver radiance.
In the center of his eyebrows, his sea of consciousness glimmered with brilliant silver light, as the Crystal Human Form entered its most critical moment.
Inside the Crystal Human Form, one meridian after another was quickly carved out.
Then the gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, bladder, and triple burner of the six viscera quickly formed within the Golden Essence Armor.
At this moment, Su Mu grunted, his face pale, brows tightly knit; the fifth cluster of silver radiance had already been consumed, and the prolonged depletion of spiritual power left his head throbbing with pain.
"Just a little more!"
Su Mu’s heart was unwilling, but a slight lapse could result in a miss as major as the width of a hair. At this moment, Su Mu’s entire body quivered, as rolling power of destiny surged from all directions.
Under the sudden infusion of the surging power of destiny, Su Mu was overjoyed to discover that his depleted spiritual power began to recover at an astonishing speed, instantly surpassing the consumption rate of the Crystal Human Form.
"There’s hope!"
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Su Mu gritted his teeth and forced down the excruciating headache, continuing to refine the Crystal Human Form with his spiritual power.
With the final stroke of the engraving knife, the Crystal Human Form was finally complete!
Buzz-----
The humanoid figure shined with brilliant silver light, buzzing as if it had been endowed with life, coming alive. The heart beneath its chest was the first to start beating, followed by the operation of all five viscera and six bowels.
The heartbeat of the Crystal Human Form also synchronized with that of Su Mu, gradually merging.
Boom-----
The Crystal Human Form began to integrate with the flesh, as the five viscera, six bowels, meridians, and muscles underwent profound fusion.
Finally, Su Mu slowly opened his eyes, and the Crystal Human Form in his sea of consciousness also opened its eyes, creating a kind of resonance throughout the sea of consciousness.
At this moment, the two entities completely merged into one, and Su Mu felt a genuine control over his sea of consciousness.
Instantly, a terrifying surge of spiritual power erupted from Su Mu, a pure and solid stream of spiritual energy coursed through every inch of his flesh, casting a faint silver sheen over every part of his body.
This sensation was quite novel; Su Mu felt a sudden enhancement in the control over his physical form.
Then, the spiritual power within Su Mu skyrocketed, multiplying several times with each breath!
He slowly raised his right arm.
A terrifying surge of spiritual power burst forth, distorting the air, and a nearly twenty-meter giant silver palm slowly took shape. Even at a glance, the palm had clear detail, bearing a resemblance to a hand that could obscure the heavens.
"The Crystal Human Form has a triple... nearly quadruple amplification of spiritual power!"
"And this is just the beginning; the Crystal Human Form, like the Fixed Star Body Refining Technique, can continue to evolve..."
Su Mu’s eyes shone with sharp brilliance. As he intended to continue experimenting further, a tide of exhaustion overwhelmed him, causing him to groan and collapse onto the silver steps.
"Congratulations, Teacher!"
