High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late Chapter 107 - 103: Martial Arts Family, Demon Sect Traces
The forr Linjiang Martial Arts Association President, now the Linjiang Base City Lord, Luo Cheng, was buried in paperwork in his office when a docunt caught his attention.
It was submitted by the newly appointed head of the Ard Departnt, Zhou Xie.
The Ard Departnt is usually stationed around the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, primarily responsible for the security of Linjiang Base. The Fierce Beast Mountain Range and the Hunting Teams generally fall under the Ard Departnt’s managent as well.
Zhou Xie’s docunt indicated so recent anomalies in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, including reports from old hunters in the Hunting Teams who heard beast roars at night that they’ve never heard before. So have also encountered large fierce beast footprints in recent days.
There are also reports from the Hunting Teams of signs of restlessness among the fierce beasts in the mountain range.
"Beast Tide?"
These two words suddenly popped into Luo Cheng’s mind, but Linjiang Base hasn’t experienced a beast tide in a long ti. He had only heard about a beast tide in Linjiang from his father’s generation when he was young.
"A beast tide of first and second level fierce beasts?"
If it were the previous Luo Cheng, he wouldn’t have paid attention to it, but now, as the City Lord, he needs to be responsible for Linjiang Base. He imdiately used his City Lord authority to pull up information related to the beast tide.
He quickly discovered so top-secret information he was previously unaware of.
Luo Cheng’s face grew sowhat solemn.
"Today, Zhou Xie sent people along with the Hunting Team deep into the mountain range to investigate."
"I hope it’s not... what I’m thinking."
Luo Cheng quickly pressed the intercom phone, "Xiaozhang, please help contact Martial Arts Association President Gong Wu and have him co to the City Lord’s Mansion as soon as possible."
Then he imdiately contacted Zhou Xie, "Do you have enough manpower there, do you need additional personnel... I will closely monitor this matter, please report to imdiately if you have any updates."
"Then you can start evacuating the people living at the foot of the mountain range."
"But until the situation is confird, I don’t want this to cause unnecessary panic."
"Okay, I understand."
...
"Counting the days, there are only a few days left until the Training Camp ends!"
Miaomiao couldn’t help but feel a bit excited at the thought.
The library isn’t usually busy, especially after the City Lord Luo took office and Director Luo stopped causing trouble, Miaomiao’s work beca much more leisurely.
Linjiang Base is a small place, with a slow pace, making life more comfortable than in big cities.
With the weekend approaching, Miaomiao plans to take Xiaoyue to her grandma’s house for a couple of days.
This is also one of the benefits of being close to her old ho. Now, Miaomiao takes her daughter to her parents’ house once a month, and Xiaoyue loves her grandparents’ house. Every ti they visit, her grandparents would make a lot of delicious food.
There’s also Dahuang there. Not long ago, Dahuang had a litter of little pups, and upon learning this, Xiaoyue insisted on going back to see them.
"Luo i, you don’t need to accompany us this weekend. You should also enjoy a pleasant weekend."
Yesterday, Miaomiao noticed Gong Yan visiting the library to see Luo i. The two are childhood friends, and Miaomiao could tell from their expressions that Gong Yan has feelings for Luo i, though Luo i seems unaware of it.
Later, Miaomiao chatted with Gong Yan, who candidly admitted it.
"I’ll try to get Luo i to visit ho this weekend. You take your chance."
"Thank you, Sister Miaomiao!"
Thinking back, Miaomiao smiled knowingly, reminiscing about herself and Su Mu back in the day, though back then, their roles were reversed. Su Mu was focused entirely on training.
But in reality, both were pursuing each other; Su Mu simply didn’t express it initially.
"Xiaoyue, let’s go ho."
...
At dusk the next day, Tantai Yan woke up and found Su Mu before leaving.
"Congratulations on becoming the chief."
"It was just luck."
Su Mu organized his thoughts, ready to say sothing when Tantai Yan spoke first.
"I will defeat you in the preselection... and then, is this considered revenge?"
Tantai Yan uttered these harsh words in a soft voice, her face showing a mix of excitent and anticipation.
At this mont, Su Mu felt sothing different about Tantai Yan, but naturally, he wouldn’t back down from a challenge, "Alright, see you at the preselection. I’ll still give it my all."
"Okay, see you then!"
Tantai Yan wasn’t the first to leave among the thirty people; Cui Jian and You Ming left the day the training ended, along with a few others who chose to leave.
After eting Tantai Yan, Su Mu headed towards the cafeteria.
Shi Hao, Xu Zhi, and Huangfu Xue had been waiting for a while. Huangfu Xue waved, "Su Mu, over here."
Even a day later, the trio still looked at Su Mu with a touch of awe.
"These two are leaving tonight. I have to finish writing a few reports and will leave tomorrow morning. What about you?" Shi Hao, who felt a headache just thinking about the reports, asked.
"I plan to stay the full ten days."
Su Mu’s response didn’t surprise the trio, as they all knew Su Mu was a cultivation fanatic. Over the past two days, they had also deduced Su Mu’s self-punishing ntal training, and they greatly admired him for it.
The three of them instinctively felt they couldn’t do it if they were in his place.
Back when Shi Hao and Xu Zhi initially lost to Huangfu Xue, they both lost interest in becoming the leader. In this aspect, Su Mu was far superior to them.
"Su Mu, if you co to Zhejiang Province in the future, you can look for ; I’m quite familiar with Zhejiang Province." Huangfu Xue handed over a small, restricted boat-shaped token engraved with the na "Huangfu."
Su Mu accepted the token, his eyes shining slightly. He had heard of the existence of Martial Arts Families, and it seed that Huangfu Xue was indeed from the Huangfu Family.
"Let’s exchange contact information."
Soon, the three of them exchanged business cards. Su Mu didn’t have a card, so he took out paper and pen on the spot and wrote down his phone number.
"Xu Zhi and I work in the military in Guangshen Province. You’re welco to visit us anyti, and maybe we could spar then?"
"Sure."
"Co, let’s also congratulate Su Mu on winning the leader position!", Huangfu Xue took out a jar of wine. Su Mu’s eyes lit up; the wine jar was very antique, almost identical to the wine jars from ancient tis in his previous life.
"Haha, we’re indulging in Su Mu’s good fortune. The daughter red from Zhejiang Province is famous, and it’s quite rare these days. It’s said to be a custom that dates back to before the Fierce Beast mutations, over a thousand years ago."
"It’s said that when a household’s daughter cries for the first ti when she’s born, her father will use spirit rice from three acres of field to brew three jars of daughter red, carefully sealing and burying it under the osmanthus tree in the backyard. When the daughter gets married, this wine is given as a dowry gift."
"How old is this jar?" Xu Zhi rubbed his hands together.
"It’s at least a hundred years old."
When the wine jar was opened, a rich aroma of wine burst forth, filling the entire cafeteria.
...
"After using Condensed Blood to refine the Five Viscera previously, it was no longer possible to proceed with further refinent."
"The second ti rebuilding the Qi Blood Bridge can only use ordinary qi and blood; only by the third ti can we use Condensed Blood again!"
Su Mu learned from past experiences and clarified his thoughts.
Recently everyone called him a genius, a monster, but Su Mu himself didn’t think so. He knew clearly that he was not a genius, and that reaching this point had not been easy.
Therefore, he didn’t intend to miss any chance to solidify his foundation, even if it was only a slight improvent, he would go all out.
The more solid the foundation, the easier the breakthroughs would be later, and the farther one could walk down the path of a Martial Artist!
Sharpening the axe doesn’t delay the work of chopping firewood.
"Continue cultivating!"
With the Spirit Marrow and Gravity Cultivation Room, the speed of rebuilding the Qi Blood Bridge was astonishing. This ti Su Mu’s rebuilding speed was even faster.
The first ti rebuilding, Su Mu spent six days on the first bridge.
But now he only spent three days. This ti, the Qi Blood Bridge was more solid than before, the bridge surface wider, and the qi and blood flow speed increased.
At the sa ti, the qi and blood within Su Mu’s body beca restless again, with both the Qi Blood Value and Qi Blood Purity advancing further and breaking through to a new level.
On the sixth day, the Qi Blood Bridge leading to the liver was successfully rebuilt for the second ti.
"Only two days left, I really wish ti could slow down!"
After battling with Tantai Yan, Tantai Yan was unconscious for almost two days, and Su Mu didn’t fare well either, if not for the precious healing elixir provided by Huangfu Xue for his internal injuries.
In those two days, Su Mu couldn’t even fully recover, for which he was grateful to Huangfu Xue and the others.
Just as Su Mu was planning to continue his cultivation, a soldier pressed the ergency contact button in the cultivation room.
Su Mu was puzzled; it was the first ti soone interrupted his cultivation.
"Hello, Mr. Su, Captain Shi Hao called you not long ago."
"Alright, take there."
Su Mu went to a military facility and picked up the phone that had been forwarded to him.
"Su Mu, just this evening, or rather it should be said yesterday evening now, in short, a beast tide occurred at Linjiang Base. Xu Zhi and I have tasks at hand, and Huangfu Xue has returned to Zhejiang Province, so none of us can go. I thought it was necessary to inform you."
"Alright, I understand. Thank you for letting know."
After hanging up the phone, Su Mu took a few deep breaths, his eyes betrayed a hint of worry and doubt he couldn’t control. He had never heard of a beast tide at Linjiang Base.
And for Shi Hao to specially call him, it ant the matter was unusual.
Imdiately, he thought of the Demon Sect, perhaps they were behind it, and a strong murderous intent surged within him.
"I need to complete the procedures to leave the Training Camp and then leave imdiately."
"Mr. Su, please follow , Captain Shi Hao has already applied for your departure in advance, the vehicle is ready, you can leave at any ti."
"Alright, thank you."
Su Mu covered his eyes and quickly left the military base where the Training Camp was located in an armored vehicle.
"Mr. Su, you can apply for a special aircraft service. This is your privilege as the current leader of the Three Cities Joint Training Camp, but it will take a while, the fastest being about two hours."
"No need, thank you."
After getting off the armored vehicle, Su Mu walked quickly into a dark street.
