High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late Chapter 197 - 175: Lin Peng, You’re Just a Stepping Stone—Se

"Finally caught up!" Both Zhao ng and Li Yue on the lakeshore let out a sigh of relief.

The sword scabbard of the new Red Sun Saber was a dark red. As soon as Su Mu held it, he felt a sense of familiarity and intimacy. In addition, there was a sense of assurance because it was forged from the previous old Red Sun Saber.

Su Mu stepped half a foot forward with his left foot, leaning slightly, adopting the posture of the Sword Drawing Secret Technique.

With a deep breath in,

a domineering Sword Montum burst forth from Su Mu’s body. This Sword Montum had been suppressed in the Secret Realm, having slumbered for more than a hundred days after striking down Nanu.

Now that it had awakened, it seed ready to pierce the heavens, roaring with anger.

The sharpness and dominance in Su Mu’s eyes intensified. At this mont, he once again entered a state where energy, spirit, and spirit were united, and he once again felt sothing within him shattering.

"I only have one chance!"

Su Mu was well aware that he only had one chance to kill Lin Peng because this was the Lin Clan Territory. If he failed, the Lin Family would undoubtedly intervene.

Crackling noises resounded continuously.

This ti, Su Mu heard it clearly. With no longer being suppressed by the Qi Blood Secret Realm, the Sword Montum within Su Mu was no longer shackled. A flood of understanding surged into his mind, and in an instant, the bottleneck of forty percent Sword Montum shattered under the elevated Sword Montum.

An even more concentrated sharpness shot into the sky, the aftermath scattering, cleaving down a pool of Moonlight Lotus. Even from hundreds of ters away, everyone felt an intense tingling pain all over their skin.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, leaving everyone in awe and anticipation. Su Mu was undergoing an on-the-spot breakthrough.

And among the crowd present, almost everyone was a Sixth Level Martial Artist or higher. For Su Mu’s Sword Montum to cause such stinging pain from such a distance was terrifying.

"This is... fifty percent Sword Montum!" Li Yue exclaid in amazent. eting him again, this youngster had already surpassed him in Sword Montum.

But fifty percent was rely the beginning, and everyone could feel that Su Mu’s Sword Montum was still climbing.

"Truly worthy of the One-Slash Asura, extraordinary indeed."

A Guardian stepped half a step forward, silently shielding Elder Lin, as another person spoke with a smile.

"Calm down and watch without speaking."

Upon hearing this, Elder Lin’s expression turned grim in an instant. He hadn’t expected that Su Mu would have such an improvent after obtaining the saber.

Su Mu’s Sword Montum continued to rise, and on the field, Lin Peng, a Celestial Pride of the Lin Family, clearly slled the scent of death.

He might not be able to withstand Su Mu’s strike; he might die. Realizing this, the cracks in Lin Peng’s Martial Arts Heart began to spread rapidly.

He didn’t want to stop Su Mu. However, Su Mu, in the state of the Sword Drawing Secret Technique, was flawless, giving him an extrely dangerous feeling. If he dared to approach rashly,

he would undoubtedly be t with a thunderous blow, so he didn’t dare to step over the thunderous line.

In this life-and-death situation, Lin Peng trembled violently.

But suddenly, he saw a path — the Path of the Grandmaster beyond the Sixth Level of Martial Arts.

That was his Path of the Grandmaster.

Coming to his senses, Lin Peng seed to grasp the last lifesaving straw. The Three Flowers were fully activated by him and then violently collided under everyone’s watchful eyes.

The Qi Blood Flower, Spiritual Flower, and Martial Arts Flower exploded with terrifying auras, showing signs of rging in the next mont.

Buzz!

In an instant, Lin Peng’s face lit up with wild joy. As the Three Flowers began to rge, the aura around him continued to soar, and a Martial Arts Golden Body began to form slowly.

"Hiss, Lin Peng is rging the Three Flowers, stepping out on the first step of the Path of the Grandmaster!"

"Truly deserving of being a forr Celestial Pride."

"Alas, it’s a pity, now Su Mu is going to lose out, ultimately one step short."

Seeing Lin Peng initiating the Three Flowers Unification, many people sighed inwardly. Su Mu was strong, forcing Lin Peng into a desperate situation, but luck ultimately did not favor him.

Now with Lin Peng’s Three Flowers Unite, on the verge of achieving Martial Arts Grandmaster, there was a chasm between a Martial Arts Grandmaster and a Sixth Level Martial Artist, a world of difference in strength, let alone Su Mu who was not even a Sixth Level but rely a Fifth Level Martial Artist.

If Su Mu struck now to interrupt Lin Peng, perhaps there was still a glimr of hope.

But now Su Mu was also in a state of epiphany, so the crowd saw no chance for victory in Su Mu!

Stepping out on the Path of the Grandmaster, Lin Peng’s face was filled with extraordinary joy, such a reversal of absolute circumstances made him unable to refrain from letting out a long howl and a burst of wild laughter.

"Su Mu, I really have to thank you. If not for you, I wouldn’t have set foot on the Path of the Grandmaster so quickly; you truly are a perfect stepping stone."

"But that’s all, the winner can only be , Lin Peng."

"Su Mu, you have lost!"

From a superior position, Lin Peng’s face glimred with disdain as he pronounced the verdict in the stance of a victor.

...

In the shadows, seeing this scene, Elder Lin was also filled with wild joy.

"Good, Peng’er is about to break through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster."

"My Lin Family’s Celestial Pride cannot lose!"

The other Guardians upon hearing this were silent, many inwardly sighed, feeling a sense of pity for Su Mu.

"What a pity."

On the ninth level, Huangfu Feng sighed. Su Mu’s defeat could only be attributed to misfortune, but sotis luck is also a part of strength.

"It’s not over yet... Su Mu hasn’t lost yet!"

Tantai Yan’s face was mixed with anxiety and anticipation, still believing in Su Mu.

Upon hearing this, Sikong River shook his head, the situation had already tilted towards Lin Peng.

"Though Su Mu lost this battle, he..."

Before the words were finished.

Clang!

The Red Sun Saber in Su Mu’s hand let out a clear and resonant saber cry. In an instant, every person wielding a saber around Spring Water Lake Shore felt their sabers tremble slightly, emitting a hum of submission.
