High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late Chapter 358 - 293: Dare Challenge the Grandmaster’s Edge—Inv

"Alright, then let him achieve his goal. Everyone, keep an eye out and be ready to step in at any mont. Let him fully experience the pressure of a Grandmaster, but make sure nothing happens to him today."

"I quite like this lad," Grandmaster Lu Heng said, stroking his beard with admiration.

"Rest assured, Grandmaster Lu Heng, especially with several Generals from the Southern War Zone and Leader Zhao Dong here today, nothing will happen to Su Mu."

The elder Grandmaster made a lighthearted comnt, and the people from the Huaxia Martial Arts Association on the stage smiled.

During the ti on stage, people in the Celestial Cloud Mountain square finally recovered from their unprecedented shock. Many among them guessed Su Mu’s intention—to use Sima Lin to break through to the Grandmaster Realm.

Dao Jiu looked at Su Mu on stage, who remained calm, and felt an unprecedented sense of defeat. For the first ti, he sensed such a disparity among his peers.

Ye Wanqing was even more deeply shocked by Su Mu. A self-deprecating smile appeared on her face, and at this mont, her friend Huangfu Xue’s evaluation of Su Mu echoed in her ear:

"Su Mu is no weaker than Huangfu Tian... It turns out everything is true."

"Perhaps, in Su Mu’s eyes, I am just a pathetic clown."

Quickly, Lu Heng glanced at Su Mu and Sima Lin, speaking out loud, "Since both parties agree, then let’s begin."

"But this ti it’s just a spar; both of you should watch your control!"

As Lu Heng finished the last sentence, he glanced at Sima Lin, the aning clear without words.

"Thank you, Grandmaster Lu Heng, for granting permission!"

Su Mu imdiately cupped his fist in gratitude. At this mont, Lu Heng sensed sothing strange, as if the Su Mu before him was eager to get his permission?

"Both parties, please take your positions."

Sima Lin turned before letting out a light laugh, "Kid, fists have no eyes, and it’s been a long ti since I last made a move..."

"Thank you for the reminder, Master Sima. I’m already ntally prepared," Su Mu responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The two turned and walked to opposite sides of the Martial Arts Arena.

Sima Lin’s steps were swift; he could barely contain the urge to personally kill Su Mu in the cradle.

Su Mu’s steps were neither rushed nor slow.

Every step.

Every inch of his flesh and blood relaxed, his dragon-like spine swaying.

The Qi Blood Flood Dragon within him slowly awakened, burning fiercely.

With each breath, Su Mu beca more relaxed, each cell loosening, yet the strength within accumulated at an astonishing speed.

Before the storm, there is always silence.

Miaomiao, Huangfu Xue, and Tantai Yan saw correctly and guessed accurately.

Su Mu had been waiting for this mont for a long, long ti.

All this ti, he had been suppressing the power within him.

What using Grandmaster pressure to break through the realm?

What life and death pressure?

It was all nonsense!

To hell with it.

Sima Lin simply couldn’t provide Su Mu any life or death pressure. If he hadn’t feared the Overlord Blade Martial Saint and the ripple effect on his friends and family, Su Mu would have acted long ago.

What Su Mu wanted was simple: purely and simply to kill!

Finally, Su Mu reached his position, and a sowhat impatient voice ca from the other side of the Martial Arts Arena.

"Kid, are you ready?" Sima Lin asked from a thousand ters away.

Su Mu turned, and a smile blood on his face.

"I’m ready. Master Sima, are you ready?"

Sima Lin sneered inwardly, at death’s door yet still asking if he was ready? Su Mu was almost more than he could bear to not kill.

However, the surface facade needed to be maintained.

"Of course, we can start anyti. I’m eager to show you the true..."

"That’s good."

Before Sima Lin could finish, Su Mu opened his mouth, instantly inhaling all the surrounding air into his body.

As his flesh and blood wriggled, dragons appeared, and a thunderous sound of joints echoed.

The dormant power inside Su Mu began to unlock, imnse waves of Qi burst forth from his nearly perfect flesh, like a whale exhaling, instantly enveloping the entire scene.

At this mont, a terrifying aura as vast as mountains and seas poured out from within Su Mu, the volcanoes beneath his flesh completely erupting, its dreadful aura soaring to the heavens.

Swoosh—

Fire Breathing drew fire elents between heaven and earth, a Great Sun appeared behind him. At this mont, golden light flowed through his flesh under the noon sun, shining brilliantly like a Divine Spirit descending to the world.

Su Mu clenched his right fist, an exquisite, transparent diamond at his brow spread, then instantly morphed into a Crystal Human Form.

Power Talent and technique.

Fire Breathing.

Eighty Percent Blade Montum.

Golden Essence Qi.

Peak of the Realm of Micro-Perception Fist.

Fixed Star Body Refining Technique’s second transformation fleshy body.

Crystal Human Form.

Crystal Transformation!

Secret of Power Third Floor, eightfold explosion!

Six Paths Reincarnation Fist!

Everything was fully unleashed without reservation, and after entering into the Crystal Transformation, with the aid of powerful Spiritual Power, all forces were poured completely into one punch, during which a subtle change occurred.

These forces seed to be showing signs of rging.

Su Mu also entered a mystical realm as a result.

In this instant, he had everything on the field in control. Su Mu felt stronger than ever, able to control everything!

The fist shadow ripping through the heavens within Su Mu’s Sea of Consciousness was also drawn, and his eyes emitted golden light. The Rule of Force surged, and a solemn voice escaped from his mouth.

"Today..."

"I invite the Grandmaster to et his death!"

Having said that, Su Mu stepped forward, terrifying Spiritual Power sweeping through the audience.

Crackling, all the caras on the field shattered, leaving only the one in Bai Ji’s hand.

At this mont, Sima Lin’s entire body trembled violently. He felt a death forewarning so intense it defied description, that this punch he couldn’t withstand, even as a Three Forging Grandmaster.

Only he couldn’t react at all...

Not just unable to respond in ti, but also because the space had completely solidified at that mont, he couldn’t even move a finger.

A figure wavered in place.

The next second.

The fist magnified indefinitely in Sima Lin’s vision.

"No..."

Boom!

Under that single punch, ti seed to freeze, the space atop Celestial Cloud Mountain trembled violently, producing a series of sharp, piercing hums.

"Look there, what just happened?"

Tourists at the foot of the Celestial Cloud Mountain all looked up, only to see that the boundless sea of clouds, ever-changing, was suddenly split in two by so invisible force.

Everything occurred in the blink of an eye; previously everyone’s attention was on Sima Lin, fearing he might go for the kill on Su Mu.

Yet...

It wasn’t until this mont that everyone was horrified to discover, it wasn’t just Sima Lin who intended to kill.

"This is bad!"

Grandmaster Lu Heng at the organizer’s seat was the first to react, only everything was too late.

At the forefront of Su Mu’s fist, after the rolling white steam dissipated, there remained no human figure.

Lu Heng’s pupils sharply contracted to needlepoint size; he saw only a charred and burning leg bone, while everything above had turned to dust.

Sima Lin, the Vice Hall Master of Overlord Blade Saint Martial Hall, perished on Celestial Cloud Mountain...
