High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late Chapter 294 - 250: Secret of Power Seals Space, Blood Soldie
A bizarre yet comical scene unfolded deep within the Beast Cave.
Separated by over a thousand ters, the two sides began to converse, one gripping a long saber, the other holding a compass.
"Did you cause the Beast Tide?"
"No, if I could cause a Beast Tide, why wouldn’t I do it at a larger Beast Cave?"
Upon hearing this, Su Mu’s expression remained calm, but he didn’t completely believe it, so he casually said,
"Your human language is quite standard."
"Thank you..." The woman in the white dress blurted out and then abruptly realized she had been tricked. But since she had been exposed, she stopped pretending, her voice turning cold.
"Now it’s my turn. Tell , how did you discover this?"
"I killed a mber of your Royal Family; he told how to identify you."
Upon hearing this, Yuliss chuckled. She naturally didn’t believe Su Mu’s nonsense. Even if a Royal Family mber could distinguish the Alien Race, it had nothing to do with her current disguise.
"How many tis can you use that thing in a short period of ti?"
"Would you believe if I said it could only be used once?"
"You’re a Basic War God... no, according to your human martialist division, should I ask, how many levels of Grandmaster are you?"
Su Mu shook his head with a smile, "I’m not a Grandmaster yet."
Upon hearing this, Yuliss also smiled, unknowing that Su Mu was telling the truth this ti.
"This is going nowhere. Why don’t we make a trade? I can tell you where your flaw is, in exchange for you teaching your Stealth Technique."
...
Su Mu dared to speak like this because he had so confidence.
The other party hadn’t left yet, perhaps wanting to stall for ti, or perhaps unwilling to accept the situation. Putting himself in her shoes, if he had such a sophisticated stealth technique but was discovered, he wouldn’t be willing to leave easily either.
Curiosity killed the cat, as they say.
"Why should I trust you?"
"I can prove it." Su Mu replied.
Yuliss felt a stir in her heart but maintained a calm deanor. "Your offer is not enough. Add this bird too."
As soon as she finished speaking,
Foodie let out an angry screech, a fiery bird forming behind it and spitting a ball of fla at the woman in the white dress.
Seeing this, Yuliss was delighted at Foodie’s ability to harness the Power of Heaven and Earth, then used the compass in her hand to teleport a hundred ters away right in front of Su Mu.
In the next mont,
Su Mu moved, golden light circulating around him instantly, the Golden Essence Armor surfacing from within his body, a giant wave surged, engulfing the spot where the woman in the white dress had just been.
However, the woman in the white dress showed a scornful expression, her figure disappearing instantly only to reappear hundreds of ters away, clearly anticipating Su Mu’s probing attack.
Then, Su Mu’s bones rang in resonance.
A gigantic, almost tangible golden body shadow ford instantaneously.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura exploded from inside Su Mu; his arm muscles flowed as if volcanoes were erupting under every inch of his flesh, this was the Rule of Force surging!
In an instant, the Secret of Power’s Third Floor was fully unleashed for the first ti!
An eightfold explosive strike roared out!
This second strike was Su Mu’s true lethal move prepared for the Alien Race in front of him.
A terrifying force compressed the air instantly, freezing it completely, trees before him were crushed to dust in an instant.
"I told you, you can’t hold back..."
Before the words fell, the woman in the white dress suddenly felt the surrounding space freezing instantly, harder than iron, as another monstrous wave roared toward her.
To her horror, she realized this strike was multiple tis more powerful than the previous one!
But just as the blade was about to fall,
The woman in the white dress vanished again, leaving only a strand of red hair in her place, flashing several more tis, and reappearing thousands of ters away.
"This ti, the teleportation distance shortened; the Secret of Power can indeed lock space... but it’s still not enough."
Su Mu’s heart sank, knowing that this assassination attempt had completely failed. Once the opponent was prepared, this tactic could never work again, and this troubleso tiger would return to its mountain.
But what Su Mu worried about didn’t happen; the tiger ca back by itself.
"Want to try again?"
"Then let’s try."
Su Mu feigned a swing, and in the next second, the woman in the white dress disappeared like a startled bird, only to teleport back again.
Su Mu turned to take a step, and the woman in the white dress followed suit with a step.
Then Su Mu sat cross-legged on the ground, and they were once again at a standoff.
A mont later, Su Mu rose, a Sword Montum emanating from his body, covering a dozen ters around. The woman in the white dress stood still, looking on while maintaining distance.
"The ultimate martial art is unbeaten by speed..."
At this mont, Su Mu had a deeper understanding of this saying. Now, neither side could do anything to the other, so Su Mu simply ignored the person behind him and headed toward the place he heard about with Foodie.
Yuliss sensed the Sword Montum Su Mu unleashed, pondering and guessing that this human might have a special talent in the Sword Dao, likely using Sword Montum to sense her presence.
But this kind of usage by the human in front consud a lot of Sword Montum, and even a Great Grandmaster couldn’t maintain it for long.
"I want to see how long your Sword Montum can last."
Yuliss’s lips curved slightly upward, and she followed behind Su Mu at a leisurely pace, not even bothering to hide this ti, boldly walking in the open.
Su Mu noticed the actions of the woman in the white dress from the corner of his eye, also noticing her bare feet.
"Truly, those barefoot aren’t afraid of those wearing shoes."
As for Yuliss’s thoughts, Su Mu naturally didn’t know, and if he did, he would just smile. Although continually wielding the sword montum was consuming, he had nonetheless mastered seventy percent of it.
Moreover, there was the power of destiny continuously flowing into him, constantly restoring his sword montum.
"Then let’s just drag it out for now."
Su Mu thought to himself, quickly collecting several stalks of spiritual dicine. Initially, he was on guard against being ambushed from behind, but he soon realized the person just followed without attacking.
Hours later, Yuliss sensed sothing was wrong.
The sword montum on this damn human showed no signs of waning.
"I don’t believe it."
Ti ticked away minute by minute.
Yuliss felt a growing urgency as her ti was running out. Missing the chance to return ant staying in the human world for an extra month, which was too dangerous for her.
And this human’s sword montum seed inexhaustible, completely beyond her understanding— not even the interdiate war gods in her race, equivalent to great grandmasters among humans, could achieve this.
As night fell.
The woman in white dress couldn’t hold back any longer and called out to Su Mu.
"Let’s make a deal. I won’t give you the stealth technique, but you can track with this, so you don’t need to worry about my ambush.
Once I get within a kiloter of you, the bracelet will react. I’ve never attacked you, so this shows my sincerity, right?"
The woman in white bit her lip, revealing frustration, as she raised a beast tooth necklace on her wrist, removing it and transmitting it with spiritual power.
Su Mu didn’t take it directly; he first used spiritual power, sword montum, golden essence qi, destiny, and other ans to check it before letting Foodie transfer it.
"Try infusing it with spiritual power."
"What’s this?"
"Inside is a soul seed, ford from my essence blood and spiritual power. The soul seed won’t expire as long as I live, and now the bracelet is in your hand; I can’t destroy it unless you do it yourself."
Hearing this, Su Mu had Foodie try it first. Foodie infused it with spiritual power and soon let out a cry.
Foodie said it saw a red line, with one end connected to the beast tooth bracelet and the other to the woman’s forehead.
After confirming there was no trickery, Su Mu then took the beast tooth bracelet.
"Can we talk properly now? My na is Yuri."
"I’m Lin Peng."
"Lin Peng, you determine my location through sword montum, right?"
"That’s correct."
Su Mu did not deny it. He executed the sword montum for most of the day; Yuri would guess it unless she was dumb, so there was no need to hide.
"Alright, next question: how did you know I’m not human?"
Su Mu then extended a finger, causing Yuliss to ask in confusion.
"What do you an?"
"Give a blood soldier, and I’ll tell you the answer."
Faced with Su Mu’s blatant demand, Yuliss looked incredulous, "Do you know the value of a blood soldier?"
"I do, so I won’t force it. You can refuse."
Finishing, Su Mu said no more; Yuliss followed him for half a day to find out the weakness, so Su Mu was in no rush.
Yuliss rarely suffered losses, but this ti it seed inevitable.
"Why should I trust you?"
"Just bring out your blood soldier, and you’ll know I’m not lying. Instead, I worry about your honesty."
"I always keep my word."
Seeing Su Mu’s confident expression, Yuliss gritted her teeth, and a flash of blood light revealed a broken blood-red long sword, only a third remaining. She then showed a cunning smile.
"You didn’t say it had to be complete."
"A third is enough," Su Mu said calmly.
He took out a piece of a blood-red spear tip. Seeing the trembling spear tip, Yuliss instantly understood it wasn’t her disguise that was flawed, just pure coincidence.
Understanding this, Yuliss casually tossed the broken sword in her hand.
Su Mu seized it with spiritual power, surprised. This alien woman was quite trustworthy; he hadn’t thought this deal would succeed.
As they spoke, night fully arrived.
At this ti, the silver compass in Yuliss’s hand erupted with brilliant silver radiance, unfolding a silver portal behind her.
"Behind here is our world; want to take a look?"
Yuliss taunted with an inviting tone.
"There’ll be a chance," Su Mu remained unfazed.
Just before stepping through the portal, Yuliss’s hand sparkled with spiritual light, tossing a silver token.
"We might have more deals in the future; you can contact with this token. I’ll repay today’s grudge tenfold, Lin Peng, don’t die too soon."
The next mont, the silver radiance intensified, and Yuliss along with the silver portal vanished completely.
At that mont, Su Mu unleashed the sword montum without reserve; it quickly spread, confirming Yuliss was indeed not nearby.
Su Mu then infused spiritual power into the beast tooth bracelet in his hand, and the red line pointed to where the silver portal disappeared, then fell to the ground. He sensed through the bracelet that Yuliss was now very far away.
"I should keep this token; it might be useful when needing a blood soldier in the future."
