High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 71: Methods to Counter Spiritual Talents, the Mysterious Black Box
"Kid, close your eyes and relax your mind."
"Alright."
A cool sensation traversed back and forth within Su Mu’s body, and after a long while, Elder Wang’s face showed a look of surprise; it was true Su Mu didn’t have any spiritual gifts.
In that case, there was only one explanation.
This kid’s spiritual aspect was different from ordinary people, which was actually quite special and extremely rare.
Because even if a person with an unusual spirit isn’t an Innate Spiritual Talent, they can still awaken their spiritual power in later life like Zhao Meng.
And Su Mu was simply born with a naturally strong spirit, other than that, he was no different from ordinary people.
"So, that’s it. No wonder this kid comprehended the Breathing Technique so quickly?"
A strong spiritual power can be viewed as great comprehension, which is extremely helpful in understanding Martial Arts Classics; an ordinary person might need several months to comprehend a classic, but someone with great comprehension might only need a few days.
"It seems that this kid being stuck at the Third Level before was purely due to poor root bone, not poor understanding."
"After the Power Talent awakening, this kid broke through the Third Level bottleneck at once, and then his strong comprehension played its role."
"But if his root bone is too poor, then even mastering Sword Momentum in advance, his Path of the Grandmaster will be difficult to achieve."
To become a Grandmaster, both root bone and comprehension are indispensable.
In an instant, many of Elder Wang’s doubts were resolved, such as the Sword Momentum, now Elder Wang guessed that Su Mu’s ability to comprehend Sword Momentum was related to his innate comprehension.
Understanding these, Elder Wang, reluctant to discourage Su Mu, finally spoke, "Su Mu, you kid don’t have a spiritual gift, but your spiritual aspect is different from ordinary people."
Different from ordinary people?
Su Mu was stunned and immediately thought of a point; perhaps it’s because he is a transmigrator, being a person of two lifetimes makes his spiritual aspect different from ordinary people?
"Anyway, this gives you a good resistance against Spiritual Shock. Just now, my Spiritual Shock needed two seconds for ordinary Fifth Level Initial Stage martial artists to recover, but you only needed half the time."
Hearing this, Su Mu was thrilled, unexpectedly being a transmigrator had this perk.
"Next, try using Sword Momentum."
Sword Momentum?
"Alright, teacher." Su Mu nodded.
A sharp and domineering Sword Momentum was released from Su Mu’s body, and at this moment Elder Wang’s eyes shone with a silver radiance, immediately Su Mu grunted and felt an invisible impact, but this time his mind didn’t go blank.
In an instant, Su Mu was overjoyed and blurted out, "Teacher, I understand, Sword Momentum can combat Spiritual Shock!"
"Correct, Martial Momentum is what a Sixth Level Martial Artist must master to become a Grandmaster; Sword Momentum is your Martial Arts Will embodied in martial arts, and will can counteract Spiritual Shock."
Using Martial Arts Will to counteract Spiritual Shock!
"Teacher, I remember, when facing President Li Yue..."
The words were abruptly cut off as Su Mu got a glare from Elder Wang, whose expression seemed to say "How dare you bring this up."
"But don’t get too happy too soon; the opponent can release Spiritual Shock at any time, while you can only resist passively, so you’re at a disadvantage when facing Spiritual Talent, you just have one more countermeasure than others, the initiative is not in your hands."
"Unless you can be sure to defeat the opponent in a short time, otherwise when your Sword Momentum is exhausted, you will be defeated."
"Time is tight, you kid also come to help these days, when the saber is re-forged, you can start Cultivating Blade Qi earlier, and if problems arise, they can still be remedied."
"Okay, teacher!"
...
That night, Su Mu cooked, and Little One, Zhou Lei, Zhou Yuan, and others pitched in to help, this time hosting in Zhao Meng’s dormitory.
Before eating, Zhao Meng handed everyone present a chicken, and also gave them eggs and glutinous rice cakes.
"Here, one for each."
The others were taken aback; they came for dinner, taking things along made them a bit embarrassed, but then Elder Wang directly said, "This is Mengmeng’s goodwill, take it yourselves."
With Elder Wang speaking, everyone accepted.
"Mengmeng, we won’t stand on ceremony then."
"Zhao Meng, then I’ll accept it."
This time, Old Zhao from the Logistics Department brought his granddaughter who joined this year, suddenly seeing so many teachers, and also Elder Wang, Old Zhao’s granddaughter felt a bit shy and after greeting everyone, she quietly went to the kitchen to help with preparations.
Little One also invited Director Wen from the Elixir Medicine Academy, Director Wen saw Little One’s talent in alchemy and intended to nurture him sincerely, at first Director Wen thought today was just an orientation party for new students, Little One invited him to preside over it, for which he even prepared some remarks.
But upon arriving and seeing Elder Wang, Director Wen became uneasy.
Su Mu found Director Wen familiar, after a moment of reflection, he remembered that this was the elder who exchanged him an Alien Race Elixir back then.
The freshly slaughtered chickens were tender and chewy, Su Mu cooked several in a large pot, adding some rice wine brought by a junior sister to simmer, and when the lid was lifted, the fragrance filled the room.
"Smells so good, Teacher Su, your cooking has improved again, did you secretly go back to learn cooking during the holiday?" Teacher Lin jested.
"Captain Su, shall we drink a little tonight?" Zhou Lei couldn’t resist the wine aroma.
"Alright, we’ll have a little later, but don’t drink too much."
As a result, Zhou Lei got drunk again, Su Mu inquired about his cultivation progress during this time and gave a batch of not very useful Second Level Elixirs.
...
In the days that followed, Su Mu’s life remained fulfilling, swinging the hammer by day, cultivating by night, making video calls with his wife and child daily.
In a blink of an eye, five days passed, and the three master-student team completed the re-forging of the new Cold Moon Saber!
"The body of this saber is made of Iron from Three Thousand Forgings, fused with Copper Essence, Iron Essence, and other materials, its size has slightly changed from your previous saber, with a total length of 128 centimeters, blade length of 97 centimeters, blade width of 4.8 centimeters, considering to contain more Blade Qi, the blade thickness was increased to 1.3 centimeters, the whole saber weighs 175KG."
"Try it out."
The new Cold Moon Saber had a faint red hue compared to before, adding a touch of restrained grandeur.
Su Mu took the saber from his teacher’s hand, and as he gently stroked the blade, Qi and Blood poured in, the inscriptions on the blade slowly lit up from top to bottom, inside to outside.
As the red inscriptions lit up on the blade, the hidden grandeur of the Cold Moon Saber was no longer concealed, its majesty was fully unveiled!
During this process, Su Mu felt strained, as his Qi and Blood were insufficient to easily light up the inscriptions on this saber, so he joyfully infused his Qi and Blood with full force.
"For now, it’s somewhat challenging for you to fully unleash this saber’s power; activating it to about sixty to seventy percent should suffice normally, giving you roughly a threefold Qi and Blood increase, activating it fully can reach about a 4.5 times increase in Qi and Blood, by the time you advance to a Fifth Level Martial Artist there should be no problem."
"Try the Sword Momentum again."
"Alright."
Su Mu took a deep breath, a sharpness emanated, and Zhao Meng couldn’t help but step back, tilting her head, feeling like her skin was pricked with needles.
In Zhao Meng’s eyes, Brother Su Mu looked extremely dangerous at the moment.
As Su Mu concentrated the Sword Momentum on the blade, the blade slightly trembled, the dense inscriptions on the blade changed subtly, forming a unified whole with a large inscription circulating along the blade.
At that moment, vaguely, an invisible saber glow burst out.
"Your Copper Essence is of good quality, but the inscriptions can’t be advanced further, otherwise it would be even harder for you to control this saber." Wang Shuheng said with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Su Mu was moved deeply, understanding how much effort the teacher had put into the re-forging!
"Thank you, teacher!" Su Mu bowed.
"I don’t care about these formalities, you kid are my disciple, what’s there to thank for me re-forging a saber for you."
"If you truly want to thank me, put in effort, don’t lose face for me, if you can’t even get into the preliminaries, don’t say you’re my disciple." Wang Shuheng’s tone was more encouraging than his words suggested.
"I will do my utmost, striving not to embarrass you, teacher!"
"Hmph, calling this blade Cold Moon now seems unfitting, you kid should come up with a new name."
...
That deep night, a mysterious package was delivered to Shenjiang Martial Arts University, addressed to Wu Jun, who was comprehending the "Furious Wave-breaking Saber."
The package contained a small box made of Secret Iron, with a layer of black powder applied to the surface.
"Black Purifying Stone powder?"
Wu Jun recognized the powder, Black Purifying Stone itself is not cheap, mostly used to conceal auras, the other party went to such lengths, what was in the box piqued his curiosity.
When the box was opened, a sharp edge broke free.
Inside lay a damaged piece of animal hide and a letter, the sharpness emanated from the palm-sized hide.
Feeling this sharpness, Wu Jun showed wild joy, moments later, he calmed his excitement and took out the letter from the envelope beside him.
"This is your deposit, help me kill someone..."
