High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 332 - 278: Three Great Phenomena Appear Together, 1,000 Kun and 1,000 Apes Roar in Unison! (Part 2)
As for the Great Grandmasters on the Quasi Martial Saint List, they probably won’t show up. After all, this exchange meeting is purely about the competition for the number one Celestial Pride. Such Great Grandmasters wouldn’t lower themselves to come," the mentor guessed aloud.
Top Martial Arts Families, Saint Martial Hall, under the Martial Saints?!
Upon hearing the mentor’s speculation, everyone from Saint Martial University stood frozen in place, yet they had an epiphany. If these people appeared, it would indeed make sense for the three mystical phenomena to be triggered.
On the Celestial Cloud Mountain Dao, Ye Wanqing watched the dissipating giant Kun in the sky, not disappointed, but rather brimming with confidence.
Because this time, Ye Wuhen from her clan also came. Among those three people, one must be Ye Wuhen. Ye Wuhen is an outstanding genius among the new generation of martial artists in the Ye Family and comes from the Ye Family’s main lineage. Since childhood, he has enjoyed countless family resources, with guidance in martial arts from the Ye Family Ancestor.
"My martial arts talent and root bone truly can’t compare to Ye Wuhen... but my opponent this time isn’t Ye Wuhen, and martial arts talent doesn’t necessarily decide everything."
"The Bone Marrow Cleansing Liquid may help Ye Wuhen improve, but not by much. It’s a perfect opportunity for me to close the gap."
Ye Wanqing thought to herself. At this moment, she considered the Bone Marrow Cleansing Liquid to already be in her possession.
On the Celestial Cloud Mountain Dao, after Ye Wanqing, there were others who triggered phenomena too, including students from Saint Martial University on the Celestial Pride List.
But compared with the three great phenomena and Ye Wanqing’s waves crashing on rocks, theirs was far inferior, only causing small waves to ripple.
Many Celestial Prides only now realized the gap between them and Ye Wanqing.
"Worthy of the Absolute Cold Spear Ye Wanqing. After today, she will be the number one Celestial Pride."
"Indeed, with Ye Wanqing’s martial arts talent, even if she advances to Grandmaster, she might enter the Grandmaster List in a few years."
"Is she truly that terrifying?"
A Sixth Level Martial Artist hesitated to speak, his face flushed red, yet he found he couldn’t trigger any phenomenon at all.
At this moment, heavy panting came from behind.
A petite girl with twin ponytails let out a soft breath, wiped the sweat off her forehead with her hand, and her fair face showed a faint blush. The silver bell on her wrist jingled with a crisp sound as she moved.
Suddenly, the clouds in the sky churned, and a gigantic white ape, several dozen feet tall, let out a long, echoing call.
Though the ape’s call through the mountains and forests was nothing compared to the previous three great phenomena and Ye Wanqing’s, it still elicited a burst of exclamation.
Many people subconsciously stopped to watch.
Step, step.
Except for one figure.
A tall figure walked leisurely, step by step.
The girl curiously glanced back, and with just that one look, her pupils suddenly constricted; those eyes were deep as galaxies.
The man’s face was rugged and handsome, his physique tall and slender, his skin faintly glowing like jade, so fine it would make women envious with jealousy. Yet the flowing muscle lines gave an indescribable sense of strength.
"What a handsome... man!"
Li Xiaojin found herself momentarily lost in awe, raising her hand to cover her small mouth.
Su Mu noticed the little girl staring blankly at him from the mountain path. After a glance, he was surprised to find her features bore a slight resemblance to his daughter Xiaoyue.
Involuntarily, Su Mu broke into a slight smile, and this smile, just as Li Xiaojin regained her senses, sent her back into a daze.
Su Mu didn’t stop his steps, steadily maintaining his pace as he ascended the path one step at a time.
When she came back to herself, Li Xiaojin was somewhat lost, staring at the figure’s back turned to her.
She had been occupied gazing at Su Mu’s handsome and striking appearance. But now that Su Mu turned around, Li Xiaojin’s beautiful eyes were filled with puzzlement.
Celestial Cloud Mountain is perpetually shrouded in mist, and a rain fell early in the morning, leaving the moss-covered steps not yet fully dry.
By observing the wet footprints and the marks on the moss, she discovered that every step this person took landed on the exact same spot of each stone step, neither off-center nor misaligned, with even the weight seemingly uniform.
Moreover, this person’s slow motion in ascending the steps gave her an indescribable feeling of strangeness.
"What a curious sensation."
Li Xiaojin harbored doubts and followed behind Su Mu.
Finally, that figure halted.
...
"The Crystal Human Form is indeed powerful... it’s about time."
Su Mu’s lips slightly curled up, and in his Sea of Consciousness, the Crystal Human Form trembled slightly before fully merging, achieving comprehensive integration with his flesh.
Late last night, after consuming tens of thousands of pounds of Spirit Marrow and the Grandmaster-level Blood Core he had on hand, his flesh finally absorbed enough energy.
The second transformation began, and this time it far exceeded Su Mu’s own expectations.
But time was short, leaving him unable to familiarize himself with the transformed flesh.
Awakening from the transformation, Su Mu was informed by Mu Feng that everyone else had already set out.
All that remained for Su Mu was the time to climb the Celestial Cloud Mountain Dao.
Hence, Su Mu thought of the Crystal Human Form.
The Crystal Human Form had been condensed according to Su Mu’s physical form. With each step on the Celestial Cloud Mountain Dao, Su Mu multitasked, both controlling his flesh and sculpting the Crystal Human Form.
Until that moment just now, he finally completed the sculpting of the Crystal Human Form.
As the Crystal Human Form once again integrated with his flesh, under the aid of powerful spiritual power, Su Mu regained a sense of control over his transformed flesh. Yet, this control, without the assistance of spiritual power, was not yet perfect.
"About fifty percent... but it’s enough."
With a deep breath, Su Mu stepped forward again.
Then he began to accelerate.
Whoosh-----
A fierce wind arose, and his figure shot forward like an arrow leaving the bowstring, tearing through the sky with a piercing whistle.
Su Mu’s figure flashed and flickered on the steps, almost vanishing into the mist.
Li Xiaojin, stunned, intended to try and give chase.
The next second, she took a hard gulp, her watery eyes narrowing sharply again.
Because this time, she found that the footprints left by this tall man on the steps had vanished.
That’s right, after accelerating, this person left no footprints on the steps, neither on the moss nor leaving any trace on the water after stepping over it on new steps.
Stepping without a trace?!
Hiss-----
Li Xiaojin’s wide, bright eyes were full of shock. From the man’s appearance to his sudden acceleration, she hadn’t felt a single fluctuation of qi and blood.
Which meant everything just now was accomplished purely with this guy’s physical body.
"How, how is that possible?"
"How did he do it?"
For a moment, Li Xiaojin was completely dazed, unable to comprehend how this was achieved.
How could anyone control their flesh to such a terrifying degree, such an unnatural degree of control over one’s own flesh that even her grandfather couldn’t easily achieve?
Yet Li Xiaojin didn’t ponder too long because, within a single breath.
Whoom-----
A grand sound, as if eternally existing and the formless Dao, struck the soul of everyone on the Celestial Cloud Mountain Dao.
In an instant, the entire Celestial Cloud Mountain trembled, the cloud sea rolling like never before, waves with the height of mountains crashing, and then the cloud sea parted abruptly, as if something terrifying within was about to manifest.
At this moment, everyone stopped in their tracks, held their breath, and looked up towards the cloud sea in the sky.
Within the opening cloud sea, a giant Kun appeared, followed by another and another.
A thousand Kuns swimming, all chirping in unison!
Such an unprecedented spectacular phenomenon left everyone present in shock, even Ye Wuhen, Ximen Gu, Dao Jiu, and Ye Wanqing, who had already reached the summit.
And this was just the beginning. As the thousand Kuns chirped, an incomparably massive full moon ascended to the sky, far grander than any full moon seen before!
The originally clear skies turned stormy at this moment, and nightfall unexpectedly arrived.
Then a thunderous ape roar shook the heavens, and a multitude of apes roared in the cloud sea, responding to the thousand Kuns.
The bright moon hung midmountain.
A thousand apes and a thousand Kuns aligned themselves on either side of the Celestial Cloud Mountain Dao.
"What a terrifying phenomenon, why do I feel like the phenomenon is welcoming something..." A Grandmaster from the Martial Arts Association couldn’t help but exclaim.
Before the words fell.
A figure ascended to the final stone step.
At this moment.
The ten-thousand-foot bright moon hung high above the mountain peak.
A thousand apes and a thousand Kuns chirped together!
...
