High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 83: Effects of Spirit Marrow, 100,000 Training Points
At a time when the three chief examiners had a headache,
news quickly spread throughout the training camp that at Gate No. 5, three puppets were damaged and Su Mu had passed through.
The trainees sprinting on the playground for physical training heard this news from the assessors at the back, and their first reaction was disbelief, thinking these people were joking.
The disgrace of a talented martial artist, someone who only dared to pick on others in the same city, someone who only dared to challenge the people in Dorm 100, could actually make it through?
Even finishing around the same time as Tantai Yan?
What a joke, who would believe that!
"Whether you believe it or not, I saw with my own eyes that three puppets were carried out from Gate No. 5."
"Yeah, I saw it too. At first, I thought there was a problem with the puppets at Gate No. 5, but then Instructor Shi Hao announced that the result was valid, and he immediately met with Su Mu alone afterward." Many people spoke in a deep voice.
Even so, there were still many who found it hard to believe.
"This can’t be real?!"
When Hong Yi heard from the crowd that Su Mu passed the assessment in fifty-eight seconds, he was silent for a while, unable to speak. He could only hold out for fifty-eight seconds, and yet Su Mu made it through in just fifty-eight seconds.
Moreover, according to what these people said, all three puppets were destroyed by Su Mu.
In a way, doesn’t that mean this level could only last fifty-eight seconds in front of Su Mu?
Boom! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
At this thought, Hong Yi’s mind went blank for a moment. Could the disparity between people really be this vast?
Back then, he thought Su Mu was very strong, even arrogant, daring to kill Lu Lin in front of President Li Yue, yet he never thought it was impossible to catch up.
But at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of suffocation, a trace of despair arose in his heart, suddenly realizing that he might never catch up to Su Mu’s pace.
Because Su Mu was also getting stronger, and at an astonishing speed, he wouldn’t be waiting around for him to catch up.
"A person like Su Mu is a genius no matter where he goes. I misunderstood Su Mu before." Hong Yi felt ashamed.
The Ling siblings training for physical fitness exchanged a glance, they considered themselves among the few in the training camp who had known Su Mu’s strength from early on.
That was a monster who had mastered sword momentum.
They had anticipated that Su Mu should pass the level, but they hadn’t expected Su Mu to pass so forcefully and smoothly.
"Hmph, now they know, huh? I said a long time ago that Su Mu was extremely powerful, yet those people didn’t believe it and were mocking him. Now, they see how formidable Su Mu is!"
"Tsk tsk, fifty-eight seconds, that’s way too strong, to finish in the same time as that monster Tantai Yan, Su Mu is going to make a big splash now."
Instinctively, a trace of pride arose in the siblings’ hearts, not only did they know about Su Mu’s strength earlier than others, they even dared to take action against such a monster, albeit receiving a good beating afterward.
But to be beaten by such a monster, wasn’t that also a form of honor!
After the news spread, many people who were half doubt, half believe wanted to seek out Su Mu to confirm the story, but they couldn’t find him.
...
"Completing the refining of the Five Viscera with only five or six pounds is really something to look forward to."
After leaving the monitoring room, Su Mu, the one who stirred up the storm in the training camp, quietly returned to his dormitory.
He wasn’t particularly interested in any lavish meals.
Upon returning to the dormitory, after taking out a few pieces of spirit stone and opening the spirit gathering inscription, Su Mu impatiently took out the jade box given by Huangfu Xue.
Unveiling the box, a refreshing fragrance hit his nose.
Subsequently, a tremendously rich wave of spiritual qi filled the room, and Su Mu was pleasantly surprised. The spirit marrow in the jade box was between solid and liquid.
"Spirit marrow... could this be a higher-level product of spirit stone?"
Su Mu speculated in his heart, he immediately used the Martial Arts Association’s database but found no search results.
"Huangfu Xue said this is a cultivation resource for Sixth Level Martial Artists, even Grandmaster Levels, it must be that my Martial Arts Association permissions are insufficient!"
Instantly, Su Mu became more expectant of the effects of this spirit marrow, advanced cultivation resources often require the simplest usage methods, Huangfu Xue said to just consume it directly.
"Let’s test its effect."
Su Mu took a small sip.
Boom!
An unprecedented, surging rush of spiritual qi instantly filled Su Mu’s body. He had taken too big a sip.
Without hesitation, Su Mu immediately started operating the Blood Control Secret Technique, and as the secret technique initiated, Su Mu was once again overjoyed, he originally thought that such a terrifying concentration of spiritual qi would be extremely hard to control.
But in reality, this flood-like power was very gentle, extremely easy to control, and just as Huangfu Xue had said, extremely easy to digest and absorb, with little effort it was transformed into an abundant and pure qi blood power.
Time passed, in the darkness, Su Mu opened his eyes, his eyes like stars.
"Just with this small sip, I managed to condense thirty drops of condensed blood."
"With another ten or so sips, I can begin the refining of the lungs."
"Moreover, the efficiency has also improved. Before, even with ample elixir support, it took half an hour to condense one drop, whereas consuming spirit marrow only takes half the time!"
Su Mu was ecstatic, this was almost equivalent to having a permanent half the effort, double the effect superpower!
"Worthy of grandmaster-level cultivation resources, one’s strength determines one’s vision, without strength, you might never know that something like spirit marrow exists and naturally wouldn’t have the qualification to access it."
After some exercise, Su Mu walked out of the room and realized it was already late at night.
"So quiet."
Inside the fortress, there were almost no moving figures at this moment. Su Mu didn’t know that today’s preliminary test’s first round of assessment had struck a blow to too many people.
Among them, Su Mu himself also played a significant role.
In the afternoon, quite a few people couldn’t find Su Mu, and someone attempted to ask Captain Shi Hao. At that time, Shi Hao was a bit troubled because of the puppet being damaged, so he was somewhat impatient.
"I’ve said, apart from following orders, strength is everything in the training camp. If you have doubts, you can go to dorm 100 and challenge him."
Captain Shi Hao’s words directly confirmed that the matter of Su Mu destroying the puppet to pass the assessment was true!
For a while, many people found it hard to accept, so most of them stayed in their dorms, focusing intensely on cultivation.
In this regard, Shi Hao, Xu Zhi, and Huangfu Xue were all somewhat surprised.
As he walked out of the fortress, in the deep quiet of the night, Su Mu simply let loose, running wildly on the sandy ground.
The wild wind brushed against his face, and he felt a wave of exhilaration, freedom, and power.
"Number 100, you passed the assessment today. This is your feast, specially prepared by Captain Shi Hao for you. If it’s not enough, you can have more."
"Okay, thank you."
A large piece of meat weighing at least ten pounds was placed in front of Su Mu, looking appetizing. Su Mu devoured it, tearing it apart with his hands and taking large bites.
As soon as it entered his mouth, the meat was delicious, tendon and all, giving it a chewy texture.
After the meat entered his stomach, it transformed into a force of Qi and blood. Su Mu felt a warm sensation throughout his body, and after a few bites, it seemed as if his internal Qi and blood had slightly increased.
"Good stuff."
The fierce beast meat in this training camp is better than that of Shenjiang Martial Arts University, almost comparable to some lower-level elixirs.
"What kind of meat is this?"
"The fierce beast meat from the Three Cities Training Camp is specially supplied by Gaoshan City, all from fierce beasts above the fifth level, and carefully selected."
Upon hearing this, Su Mu’s eyes lit up. With such extravagance, he planned to eat to his heart’s content.
"Another piece."
"Okay."
"I want one more piece."
"The last piece."
After finishing four large pieces, Su Mu’s body was heating up. He took a deep breath, thanked the soldier at the canteen, and left with large strides.
The long night passed in silence as Su Mu continued cultivating.
...
"Before starting the second round, I will now announce the results of yesterday’s first round of assessments."
Shi Hao glanced at the crowd, showing a trace of disappointment on his face.
"This batch of trainees is quite a disappointment to me. Out of you three hundred people, only five passed the first round of assessments."
"You are the worst batch of trainees I have ever led."
Upon hearing this, many tightened their fists, but after yesterday’s harsh lesson, the arrogance in the hearts of these self-proclaimed geniuses diminished significantly. Many turned their gaze towards a few specific individuals.
Among the crowd, Su Mu maintained a calm demeanor, facing it all with equanimity.
"Previously, I indeed misjudged Su Mu. His mental fortitude alone surpasses mine!" This was the sentiment of many.
Shi Hao deliberately paused for a moment, then continued.
"But the training camp has just begun, and nothing is set in stone. The Three Cities have pooled resources to jointly host this training camp precisely to make you stronger!"
"As long as you can timely recognize your own shortcomings, remain humble and steadfast in your cultivation, it’s not too late for anything!"
"Alright, I will now announce the list of those who passed the first round of assessments."
"There was a special situation during this assessment. After discussing it with the other two chief examiners, here’s the decision we’ve made."
"Tantai Yan and Su Mu tie for first place, with a time of fifty-eight seconds, receiving one hundred thousand training points. These points can be used later in places like the gravity cultivation room, where in a high-pressure environment of multiple times gravity, Qi and blood can increase faster, and cultivation efficiency can be greatly improved."
"Second place goes to Cui Jian, rewarded with fifty thousand training points."
"Third place goes to You Ming, rewarded with thirty thousand training points."
"Fourth place goes to Xing Fang, rewarded with twenty thousand training points."
"I hope the five of you continue to strive forward!"
Tantai Yan looked at Su Mu in surprise; indeed, this person was formidable.
Upon hearing the announcement of the rankings, Cui Jian, You Ming, and Xing Fang all turned their gaze, filled with battle intent, towards Su Mu in the crowd.
Su Mu, on the other hand, was pondering over what Shi Hao had said about the gravity cultivation room. Since it can enhance cultivation efficiency, he would definitely try it more in the future.
"Alright, what happened yesterday is in the past. Only by seizing the present can one become stronger. Set off!"
Immediately, all the trainees boarded the corresponding armored vehicles, arriving before three dilapidated ancient towers. Each tower had only one and a half layers remaining, exuding a sense of ancientness and weather-beaten history.
"These three ancient towers may be completely destroyed in the near future. In the past, only Grandmasters were qualified to use them, but now this will be your second round of assessment, or rather, an opportunity."
"Grasp this opportunity, and you’ll benefit greatly. Some may even gain a chance encounter. It all depends on yourselves."
"The tower on the left corresponds to strength, the one on the right to speed, and the one in the middle to spiritual power."
"Each person has only one chance to enter, and can only choose one tower."
"I’ll give you a piece of advice here as well: choice matters!"
