High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late Chapter 188 - 170: A Figure Slashing Across the Sky, a Flesh

This was also a show of strength from Lin Peng. He put down his teacup, glanced around at everyone present, and clapped his hands, imdiately prompting a servant from the Lin Family to replace the tea table and tea set.

"Brother, you really got beaten up badly just now," Sikong Xia teased.

Sikong Jiang’s face showed no sha, instead, he confidently said, "Lin Peng is indeed formidable, truly deserving to be on the Celestial Pride List."

"But I still have three years to catch up, I won’t be weaker than him!"

Sikong Jiang acknowledged Lin Peng’s strength, but he did not think he would necessarily be weaker than Lin Peng because, although both were new-generation martial artists, Sikong Jiang and Lin Peng differed by three or four years in age, which actually categorized them into two generations of new martial artists.

Sikong Xia pursed her lips, vaguely rembering that Lin Peng had been beaten several tis by Brother Zhen. Currently, Brother Zhen was working on breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm within the family and had no ti to co here.

As far as she knew, most of the other figures from martial arts families were busy striving to beco martial arts grandmasters, with no attention to spare for here. In Sikong Xia’s view, it was Su Mu’s rise to the Celestial Pride List that edged Lin Peng down, conveniently giving the Lin Family an excuse, a loophole to exploit.

"In any case, Lin Peng is very strong below the Grandmaster Realm. If this martial arts exchange goes smoothly, it’s likely he’ll enter the Grandmaster stage earlier than Brother Zhen!"

"Is he really that formidable?!" Sikong Xia’s face showed surprise.

Sikong Zhen, one of the leading figures among the new generation of the Sikong Family, was also on the Huaxia Celestial Pride List, ranked at eighty-five, previously overshadowing Lin Peng.

The next day, at Spring Water Lake, sword montum, sword montum, spear montum, and fist montum clashed brilliantly, as talents from various places competed and sparred. In the end, Lin Peng made a strong move and suppressed a group of talented individuals; everyone could feel the increasingly concentrated aura on his body.

Lin Peng intends to unite the Three Flowers and step onto the Path of the Grandmaster!

Everyone guessed Lin Peng’s intentions, but it was an open plot, so these highly ambitious talents all ca nonetheless.

Ti passed, and Hong Lie from the Southern War Zone had yet to see any reaction from the Lin Family, causing his face to darken imdiately.

"The Lin Family is doing this on purpose."

"About the previous incident of snatching people, the Lin Family is trying to trip us up."

Hong Lie realized this, just when the Lin Family was building montum for Lin Peng on the first day, the War Zone assigned Hong Lie full responsibility for this matter, leading him to contact the Lin Family imdiately.

The War Zone did not directly express an attitude, instead contacting the Lin Family had its considerations from the War Zone’s perspective.

At that ti, Su Mu had just been awarded the honor titles of "Star of Battle" and "Southern New Generation General Star" by the War Zone, right at the peak of attention.

If the Lin Family had just issued an invite to battle and the War Zone imdiately stated that Su Mu couldn’t fight, everyone would have thought the so-called General Star was rely avoiding the fight, undoubtedly diminishing the War Zone’s prestige.

So the Lin Family needed to voluntarily cancel this challenge, and the Lin Family people imdiately agreed, but said they needed so ti.

Hong Lie also understood the nuances of the situation because if the Lin Family invited a battle and instantly canceled it, even a fool could see through the intrigue. Waiting a few days for the Lin Family to announce, then the War Zone to release a statent, would provide a graceful resolution for both sides—a win-win situation.

But afterward, the Lin Family used the martial arts exchange to divert attention, constantly delaying ti, and the War Zone also had people from the Lin Family.

So by the ti Hong Lie realized it, the one-month deadline was near, and it was too late to make a statent by then.

"How’s the situation over at the Secret Realm?"

"Recently, the spatial energy in the Land of the Secret Realm has beco increasingly dense."

"Good, keep sending people to monitor over there. If that kid Su Mu cos out, bring him to imdiately."

"Got it!"

...

The sky roared.

"Look, what’s that?"

"A teorite?"

On a tourist bus, a passenger pointed outside the window, instantly attracting the attention of many people.

Many stood up to look, and saw sothing high in the sky flashing faintly with golden light, racing across the sky at extre speed.

Soone on the bus with a professional video cara zood in to see the object clearly and his face changed drastically, exclaiming.

"No, that’s not a teorite, there seem to be two human figures?!"

"Human figures?!"

"At this height of descent, could it be a plane accident, could they still be alive?"

"It’s at least a thousand ters, at this height directly falling, even a Martial Arts Grandmaster would struggle to survive." a Fourth Level Martial Artist on the bus shook his head.

The people on the bus fell silent, mourning the two individuals for two seconds in their hearts.

Bang!

Two figures streaked across the sky and crashed to the ground with a boom.

Dust scattered, stone and wood were shattered, the earth cracked instantly, then turned blackened.

Seconds later, movent erged from the large pit; a sturdy figure leaped out after the golden and blood-colored armor dissolved, holding a woman tightly like a koala bear in his embrace.

"Su Mu... are you okay?"

"I’m fine, you can get down now."

Ah?!

Tantai Yan exclaid, her face turning crimson, and she imdiately jumped off Su Mu, who took a deep breath, the golden light across his body dissipating as the dissolved armor was reabsorbed and nurtured inside with Condensed Blood, revealing an almost perfect flesh body.

The next second, a spiritual light flickered in Su Mu’s hand as he took out a set of clothes and quickly donned them.

The two were none other than Su Mu and Tantai Yan, who had just exited the Secret Realm.

At the ti, Su Mu had suggested Tantai Yan leave first, but the young girl refused, as she was worried the Teleportation Array could only be activated once.

Upon hearing this speculation, Su Mu’s heart trembled, indeed considering such a possibility, and so he started using the Spiritual mory Technique to quickly morize the Space Inscription, but unfortunately, it didn’t last long.

Without the nourishnt of blood, signs of collapse appeared in the stone cavern, forcing Su Mu to abandon morizing the inscription and activate the Teleportation Array.

But an unexpected change occurred.

To their surprise, the transmission in the stone cavern was random and non-directional, thus the two exiting the Secret Realm were directly sent high into the sky.

At the critical mont, Su Mu pulled Tantai Yan into his arms, activated the Golden Essence Armor to protect their bodies, and pushed the Fixed Star Body Refining Technique and Qi Blood Emission to the extre.

That’s how the two landed safely.

Coming back to her senses, Tantai Yan was in a state of shock, her chest heaving violently, thinking she was dood at that height with an unprotected fall, a Martial Arts Grandmaster rarely survives.

Yet a miracle happened again; Su Mu unhesitatingly shielded her in his arms. At that mont, Tantai Yan trembled all over and her terrified heart instantly cald down.

She couldn’t help thinking that if they had both died like this, dying in Su Mu’s embrace did not seem too bad.

However, the concern did not materialize, as Su Mu managed to protect her at thousands of ters high and landed unhard, his flesh’s strength was honestly beyond Tantai Yan’s imagination.

As Tantai Yan remained in a daze, Su Mu retrieved the War Order to confirm their current coordinates.

"We should be in... Guangshen Province, fortunately, it’s sparsely populated."

"Let’s go, we should leave here first."

"Alright."

The two left quickly, and shortly after, rescue personnel and dical staff arrived at the scene after receiving reports, seeing a large, over-ten-ter diater dark pit and one large and one small set of footprints left them stunned.

"It’s actually true, two people fell from a great height... and they’re still alive?"

"Were they two Martial Arts Grandmasters?"

...

"This is the outskirts of Zen City; are you so-called backpackers?"

The driver glanced at the two through the rearview mirror, having noticed the mud on their feet when they boarded, he assud they were young thrill-seeking lovers. Reports about stranded hikers or backpackers are common news in the suburbs of Zen City.

"In any case, you young lovers should ground yourselves, don’t be too selfish, cherish your life."

Upon hearing the term ’young lovers,’ Tantai Yan froze in surprise and shot a doubtful glance at Su Mu, who remained very composed, not offering any explanation.

"Hmm, thank you for your advice."

"I’ll drop you off in the city; do you have money on you?"

"Alright, thank you for the trouble."

At the traffic light, the two disembarked, "Let’s get sothing to eat first, then I need to buy a cell phone."

They entered a restaurant, and as soon as they sat down, soone casually distributed newspapers, which Su Mu picked up, his eyes glowing with interest, seeing his expression, Tantai Yan glanced over.

Lin Family, Guangshen Province Genius Gathering, Martial Arts Exchange eting, these words caught their eye.

"It seems like there are still a few days left, ... should we go take a look?"

"You probably need an invitation to attend the exchange eting, right?"

"No problem... I have this," Tantai Yan took out a bunch of tokens and selected one engraved with the character Lin.

"Alright, let’s go take a look then."

The thought of the Guangshen Province’s martial arts exchange eting brought a hint of anticipation to Su Mu’s face.
