High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 93 - 92: Who’s Next? The Untouchable Ones (First Update)

Chapter 93: Chapter 92: Who’s Next? The Untouchable Ones (First Update)

After a brief silence, everyone on the field gasped, faces full of disbelief. Who would have thought that the one who was defeated in an instant was not Su Mu, but You Ming!

"This is Qi Blood Emission, has Su Mu actually broken through to the Fifth Level?"

"Gasp, could this be Sword Momentum!"

"But Su Mu is only at the Fourth Level. Even if he broke through to the Fifth Level now, grasping Sword Momentum at the Fifth Level Initial Stage is too exaggerated!"

For a moment, there was an uproar on the field, and everyone instinctively assumed that Su Mu had ascended to the Fifth Level.

However, the reality was even more astonishing than everyone imagined. Su Mu hadn’t even broken through to the Fifth Level yet. It was just that his Qi Blood Value had now reached the level of a Fifth Level Martial Artist, and he had mastered the most critical Qi Blood Emission.

In fact, it’s not much different from an average Fifth Level Martial Artist.

Among the crowd, only the three chief examiners, Shi Hao, Xu Zhi, and Huangfu Xue, along with the Ling siblings, Hong Yi, and others knew that Su Mu had mastered Sword Momentum. The fat guy before hadn’t seen it with his own eyes; upon learning now, his eyes widened like round bells, murmuring to himself.

"This is incredible; Su Mu has actually mastered Sword Momentum!"

He looked at the Ling siblings beside him, both of whom were also filled with shock. Seeing Su Mu defeat You Ming, they had a hint of pride on their faces. Perhaps they were among the first to know that Su Mu had mastered Sword Momentum.

"See, I told you Su Mu was amazing," Ling Xiaoyu said excitedly.

At this moment, Hong Yi was filled with both shame and admiration. He had always known that Su Mu was formidable and realized that in this lifetime, he couldn’t catch up with Su Mu, but never imagined that catching up with Su Mu was beyond not just him.

Perhaps even people like You Ming were among them!

On the field at this moment, even Shi Hao and Xu Zhi were utterly incredulous. They couldn’t fathom how Su Mu did it, couldn’t see how Su Mu limited You Ming’s speed.

They understood that although Sword Momentum was powerful in attack, it wasn’t omnipotent, at least not capable of directly limiting the speed of someone with Speed Talent.

The earlier scene seemed as if You Ming was cooperating with Su Mu, deliberately losing to him.

However, both of them knew this was impossible, but they couldn’t help thinking so.

"Could it be that Su Mu obtained some Secret Technique in the Tower of Power that can limit speed?" The two speculated, unable to resist. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Among the crowd, only Huangfu Xue’s eyes shone brightly, vaguely seeing something. She muttered softly to herself.

"It’s not some Secret Technique... it seems to be purely strength, but is that possible?"

...

At this moment, You Ming finally came to his senses on the field. He initially wanted to step over Su Mu to compete for second or even first place, yet unexpectedly became Su Mu’s stepping stone instead.

He overestimated his own strength and severely underestimated Su Mu’s. This person actually grasped Sword Momentum, a tremendous weapon of destruction. At that moment, he suddenly understood.

Why didn’t Tantai Yan choose to challenge Su Mu on the first day? Perhaps she realized this.

But there’s no medicine for regret in the world; it’s all too late.

For a moment, You Ming felt deeply unwilling. If he had acted a moment later, the unlucky one might have been Cui Jian.

"I lost."

After saying this, You Ming seemed to let out a breath and then handed over a Token. Su Mu unhesitatingly extracted half of You Ming’s Points.

Seeing that You Ming had only over thirty thousand Points left, and half didn’t even reach twenty thousand, Su Mu obviously paused for a moment before tossing the Token back.

This scene fell into You Ming’s eyes, and when he saw that Su Mu returned the same No. 3 Token to him, it was clear that Su Mu hadn’t chosen to exchange Tokens but continued to hold the No. 100 Token.

"Su Mu didn’t exchange Tokens. Is this an insult to me?"

Instantly, You Ming’s face turned red, his fists clenched, but thinking of Su Mu’s strength, he couldn’t say a word, only able to get up and leave in despair.

A moment later, Su Mu recalled the matter of exchanging Tokens but didn’t care much. He figured he wouldn’t be returning to the dormitory in the future. Whether he exchanged or not didn’t matter to him.

"No. 100 dormitory it is. Next, let’s settle all the trouble at once."

His gaze flickered over Cui Jian, Ming Jie, Lu Qing, and others, who were the few eager figures in the crowd earlier. You Ming’s challenge made him realize one thing.

He was probably regarded as a big fat sheep by these people.

Su Mu doesn’t like trouble. Since he made a move today, he might as well clean it all up together, so these people wouldn’t keep bothering him in the future, interrupting his cultivation.

He didn’t have much time to waste; the time in the Training Camp was limited. He had to make full use of it, and there was still the Combat Simulation Room and Reaction Simulation Room waiting for him.

"Who’s next?"

...

"Who’s next?"

Su Mu’s tone was calm, but the words were extraordinarily domineering, filled with arrogance.

Yet at this moment, no one thought Su Mu was arrogant. Instead, they thought a strong person should be like this, worthy of the strength to defeat You Ming instantly.

Facing Su Mu’s gaze, those eager figures reluctantly took a step back, swallowed secretly, or dared not meet Su Mu’s eyes directly.

These people retreated, thinking that stepping back would bring vast skies, and patience would bring calm winds and waves.

However, the bystanders were more than eager.

"I remember a few people have triggered the challenge three times in a row for three days, right?"

"It seems so, I remember too."

"It should include Ming Jie from Gaoshan City."

As soon as the bystanders spoke, Ming Jie from Gaoshan City felt something was wrong, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, knowing there was no escape now.

Shi Hao timely spoke up, "Those who also triggered the rule of mandatory challenge are the following five people, in order of timing."

In an instant, Shi Hao seemed to transform into the Death God, starting the death roll call. Beside him, Xu Zhi and Huangfu Xue exchanged peculiar glances, feeling that Shi Hao must be doing this deliberately to some extent.

"Gaoshan City, Ming Jie."

"Qianhai City, Zuo Hao."

"Qianhai City, Fu Ying."

"Shenjiang City, Lu Qing."

"Gaoshan City, Gao Xiaoyu."

As each name was called, the expressions of the five turned extremely unpleasant. Now Ming Jie’s face looked slightly better; fortunately, he had four others with him, and since You Ming lost first, he didn’t seem so out of place.

Listening to Shi Hao read out one name after another, the crowd was thrilled. These people, including You Ming, had regarded Su Mu as a fat sheep, not knowing that Su Mu was a fierce tiger descending from the mountain.

Now, with the tiger entering the flock, Su Mu was set to reverse the plunder on You Ming and his group.

This reversal left everyone eagerly anticipating, and soon someone noticed something was off; it seemed a person was missing.

"Huh, where’s Cui Jian?"

"Cui Jian from Gaoshan City only triggered the rule twice in two consecutive days and did not completely trigger the unavoidable rule." Shi Hao explained.

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

"Could it be that Cui Jian had already seen Su Mu’s strength and thus refrained from triggering the rule?"

"Is this what they call a strong person’s foresight?"

Listening to the discussions around him, Cui Jian’s expression was not pleasant either, but he felt more relieved. He had seen You Ming’s dejected look just now very clearly.

Losing half of his points to Su Mu was a minor issue; what’s significant was that after this setback, You Ming would need some time to recover, making it hard for him to surpass Cui Jian anymore.

"Come on." Su Mu looked at Ming Jie, deciding not to use Future Sight this time; he wanted to stretch his muscles a bit.

Ming Jie hesitated whether to admit defeat directly, feeling it was a bit embarrassing, until he saw Su Mu place a hand on his saber’s handle.

His hesitation instantly vanished, and he straightforwardly handed over a quarter of his points.

"Su Mu, I concede."

Seeing Ming Jie concede voluntarily, others followed suit, taking the opportunity to concede as well.

"Su Mu, you’re strong; I can’t beat you."

"I concede too; here is my token."

"I give up!"

With the five conceding, Su Mu’s plan to loosen up fell through, but he did gain a few more tens of thousands of points. Though not much, it was better than nothing.

"Seriously, everyone’s conceding?"

"That’s so unsatisfying; I was hoping to see Su Mu swing his saber again!"

At that moment, someone hesitated and spoke.

"Do you guys think Su Mu was waiting for this moment from the start?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd boiled like water in a boiler, the more they thought about it, the stranger it seemed. If they were in Su Mu’s position with such strength.

They would have joined the fight for Dorm Number One long ago, not even glancing at Dorm Number 100.

"Could Su Mu have been fishing from the start?"

"Very likely; if that’s the case, then he started setting up the plan ever since he came to the training camp. Dorm Number 100 was the key step, making everyone think he wouldn’t dare to fight, but in reality, he was waiting for others to come to him."

In a moment, everyone figured it out, increasingly convinced of this thought.

Many even concluded on the spot that no matter what, they should avoid provoking Su Mu more than Tantai Yan in the future!

"People’s words are indeed formidable."

Su Mu wore a peculiar expression. The theories sounded logical, like it could really have been the case, but he naturally didn’t have such a cunning plan in mind. However, he didn’t bother to explain anything.

...

Shi Hao, Xu Zhi, and Huangfu Xue took turns explaining practical matters to watch out for, also conducting paired exercises to help everyone better understand.

The practical class continued, but many in the class didn’t focus on listening; instead, they were observing Su Mu, still immersed in their conspiracy theories.

Su Mu listened intently, finding it a relief; some relaxation amidst cultivation was actually beneficial to his practice.

Moreover, the things Shi Hao, Xu Zhi, and Huangfu Xue explained were full of practical knowledge. Though Su Mu had been through many life-and-death battles, his combat experience was still inferior to theirs.

After the class, Su Mu’s eyes shone with newfound insights, having gained much from it.

...

In one of the dormitories at Shenjiang Martial Arts University.

Wu Jun was overjoyed; during this time, he had been continually gaining insights into the "Furious Wave-breaking Saber" by using the Sword Momentum within the Damaged Beast Hide Scroll. Now, he finally showed signs of entry. This sword technique was far stronger than he had imagined.

"No wonder it’s a sword technique created by Duan Lang!"

"With the assistance of Sword Momentum, it saves me so much time in understanding."

"In this regard, Su Mu, I really must thank you."

"I just hope you won’t be too weak when I meet you in the preliminaries."
