High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 274 - 234: Those Who Follow Huangfu Tian’s Footsteps, Surging Waves Saber Technique Fifth Stance!

Chapter 274: Chapter 234: Those Who Follow Huangfu Tian’s Footsteps, Surging Waves Saber Technique Fifth Stance!

The spear shadow was like a dragon, icy cold to the bone. The woman with a face like an ice mountain walked on a path of frost, the air around her plummeting in temperature as snowflakes danced in the wind.

A Martial Arts Golden Body continuously retreated, and moments later, a middle-aged man shook his head.

"The younger generation is truly formidable, I lost."

"Thank you, Uncle, for letting me win!"

After retracting her spear, the frostiness on the woman’s face dissipated instantly, and her demeanor changed abruptly to that of an elegant lady, demure and poised.

On this day, Ye Wanqing of the Imperial Capital Ye Family, a Heavenly Pride, made her return. Her first battle, the spear’s edge pointed directly at Xiao Changhe, ranked ninth on the Huaxia Celestial Pride List.

Bai Ji from the Huaxia Television and Radio Station in the Imperial Capital was promoted to a station manager after the selection battle where Su Mu ascended the dragon.

"Although Huangfu Tian is from the Huangfu Family of Zhejiang Province, he grew up in the Ye Family and is Ye Wanqing’s cousin."

"Absolute Cold Spear Ye Wanqing, ranked tenth on the Huaxia Celestial Pride List. She was originally ninth but was pushed down by Su Mu’s ascent."

"Most likely, Ye Wanqing wants to follow in Huangfu Tian’s footsteps. She aims to defeat the Celestial Prides on the list and then ascend to the top of the Huaxia Celestial Pride List!"

"Ultimately, she aims to advance to Martial Arts Grandmaster with the title of first on the Celestial Pride List!"

"Thus, she will inevitably have a battle with the current number one, One-Slash Asura Su Mu!"

Bai Ji quickly sensed the immense potential for publicity in this battle, immediately tasked someone with organizing data on Ye Wanqing, and quickly drove to the Ye Family. She aimed to get the first-hand report of this challenge, holding the series of news firmly in her hands.

...

Yun Province.

A defence line in the southeast of Beast Cave No. 005.

This defense line was manned by the 577th Division, one of the top commanders, Zhang Dashan, was panting heavily, his eyes fixated on the three newly emerged Grandmaster Level Fierce Beasts from the Beast Cave.

"All members of the Elite Third Platoon, get ready! Bear with me, the target is..."

Zhang Dashan took a swig of spiritual liquid, wiped his mouth, and pointed his long spear southwest, where there was a massive black bear like a small mountain.

"That big fella."

"The other two are not our concern."

"Yes!"

The warriors of the Elite Third Platoon behind Zhang Dashan roared, every one of them blood-stained, their faces resolute.

"Two minutes!"

After reporting a time, Zhang Dashan spoke no more. He had already ordered the firepower formation to cover for one minute, his pair of murderous eyes locked on the distant black bear—this was going to be a tough fight.

As the officer, he glanced back at the Elite Third Platoon behind him. In the fierce battle until now, the platoon had been reduced from fifty to the current thirty, and several were reserve personnel.

But this tough nut had to be cracked, leaving a Grandmaster Level Fierce Beast unchecked was tantamount to abandoning this defense line altogether.

Behind the Elite Third Platoon, Shi Hao coughed, spat a mouthful of dark red onto the ground, wiped his blood-stained mouth.

"Haha, Shi Hao, are you going to kick the bucket later?"

Xu Zhi teased but quickly handed over a bottle of healing spirit liquid. After taking it, Shi Hao glimpsed at Xu Zhi’s bloodshot eyes.

"You’re not much better off than me."

"Humph, I have the Speed Talent, so I’ll live longer than you will."

Xu Zhi’s jest eased the tension a bit before deployment, and Shi Hao knew Xu Zhi did it on purpose to lighten the mood.

Both were reserve personnel of the Elite Third Platoon, and with the sudden outbreak of battle, they quickly entered the field.

"Su Mu was promoted to Major General not long ago, and the two of us are still just Captains."

"We normal folks can’t compare to monsters, but if we survive this Beast Tide, we’ll have a chance to get promoted to Major."

"Yeah, if I make Major, imagine how many people will come to matchmake at my house from my hometown. Maybe someone will even put up a banner, my old folks would surely be over the moon."

Listening to Xu Zhi, Shi Hao’s tense face, which had almost lost all feeling, showed a hint of a smile.

"Speaking of which, Huaxue said she’d come to drink with us in a while."

"Hahaha, what if she rushes over from Zhejiang excitedly, only to find us dead, maybe without even a corpse... think she’ll be dumbfounded? Her expression would be priceless, I bet she’d cry on the spot."

"Huangfu Xue, her? ... Would she?"

"She will, she will, don’t be fooled by her strong personality, she’s still just a girl."

As Xu Zhi laughed, his eyes became wet, and then he coughed, a mouthful of black blood spewed out, and Shi Hao patted his back lightly, returning the spirit liquid to his hand.

"Save your breath, conserve some strength so you’ll have a better chance to live later."

"Alright."

The sound of machine guns and artillery mingled, heralding the charge.

The two-minute rest passed in a flash.

The voice of commander Zhang Dashan rang out once again.

"Everyone, get ready!"

Shi Hao and Xu Zhi took a deep breath, following their elite Third Company comrades out of the trench, forming a triangle battle array with Zhang Dashan as the vertex, their eyes focused solely on the large Black Bear.

...

The roar of the Surging Waves was incessant, a terrifying and boundless Sword Momentum soared into the sky, piercing a massive hole through the dense dark clouds hanging over the battlefield.

This section of the battle line had calmed down, and the warriors entered a phase of alternating rest, all of them looking towards the source of the Surging Waves’ sound with genuine solemnity and respect in their expressions.

A continuous influx of Power of Destiny was pouring in.

Finally.

An unprecedented giant wave appeared, suddenly driving away the clouds above completely. That roar of the Surging Waves echoed across the skyline and then gradually subsided.

Inside the temporary command headquarters, Su Mu slowly exhaled, his opened eyes reflecting the tumultuous giant waves.

"The Fifth Form of the Surging Waves Saber Technique is complete!"

Su Mu revealed a look of excitement on his face, the Power of Destiny brought him immense joy. Previously, Su Mu always thought he would have to wait until he advanced to Grandmaster to fully perfect and create this conceptual slash.

But with the Power of Destiny upon him, Su Mu created a Grandmaster Secret Technique unique to himself even before becoming a Grandmaster.

What should I name it?

Su Mu, who is not good at naming, furrowed his brows slightly.

The first four forms of the Surging Waves Saber Technique are Riding the Wind, Breaking Waves, Overturning River, Inverted Sea.

So what should the fifth form be named?

"Major General Su, congratulations, indeed a Dragon Ascending Demon. Your Sword Momentum is like a tidal wave; even I dared not approach when you made your breakthrough, lest I be directly annihilated by this giant wave."

After the giant wave subsided for a long while, Zhen Yue’s voice came from outside the command headquarters.

Annihilation?!

Su Mu’s eyes brightened.

"This fifth form will be called Annihilation!"

Inside the headquarters, Zhen Yue looked at the hole in the ceiling and laughed heartily, "No worries, it’s just a broken command center. I’ll have someone fix it later."

"The battlefield is simple now; I can only offer you a cup of coffee, Major General Su."

"Thank you, Leader."

"Why call me Leader, I should be calling you Leader Su, that’s bound to happen."

"And why thank me, the one who should really be thankful is me. Moreover, it’s just a cup of coffee; if not for you, Major General Su, descending like a divine soldier today, this defensive line might have collapsed."

Zhen Yue glanced at Su Mu and teasingly said, to which Su Mu took a sip of coffee and gently exhaled.

"Today, you killed two Grandmaster-Level Fierce Beasts and a number of Middle and Low Tier Fierce Beasts on the battlefield. I’ll have them all tallied, converting them into your battle merits, Major General Su...

The war zone’s battle merits across the Five Major War Zones of Huaxia are usable across divisions. While our Yun Province is just a division, we have some items that even the General War Zone doesn’t have. Later I’ll get you a list, and you can exchange for some if you’re interested, Major General Su."

"Alright."

Just then, Zhen Yue tore open another pack of instant coffee and made himself a cup.

"Leader, are beast tides always this dangerous?"

"Not exactly; the defensive line we guard is at War Line Southwest of Beast Cave No. 007. Our Yun Province’s beast cave hasn’t truly erupted in a beast tide for many years."

"This time it’s because a new relic emerged deep in Beast Cave No. 005. After the riots in Beast Cave No. 005, other beast caves were simultaneously affected. With the battle line suddenly extended, the situation became tense."

"The eruption of a beast tide generally has several stages: eruption period, tug-of-war period, and climax."

"Now is the eruption period, but our defensive line has already entered the tug-of-war period ahead of time..." Saying this, Zhen Yue glanced at Su Mu and the slumbering foodie beside him, his gaze as if looking at a monster.

The present Su Mu felt very gentle to him, lacking the arrogance of other Celestial Prides. It was impossible to tell that this person was the same God of Slaughter who fought bravely in the depths of the beast tide, almost like two different people.

"Anyway, you’ve worked hard today; you must be tired, go rest first. Once the beast tide erupts, it usually lasts more than half a month, so we cannot let down our guard yet."

"Alright."

Su Mu nodded in response, though at the moment, he did not feel the slightest bit of fatigue. The Fixed Star Body Refining Technique, Third-Turned Refining Technique, and the Great Success Breathing Technique provided a powerful sustained combat ability.

In addition, the cheat-like Power of Destiny continuously restored his energy, qi, and blood, so even after a protracted battle, Su Mu did not feel any mental fatigue.

Not long after walking out of the command center, a squad of warriors walked towards him. When they saw Su Mu, they were initially startled, then saluted him with faces full of reverence.

"Leader Su!"

Su Mu shook his head, "I’m not at the General Level yet, no need to call me Leader."

"It’s only a matter of time!" A few warriors declared with firm conviction, as if it were already a reality.

Su Mu smiled, these defenders of the nation were purely admirable and lovable.

"Leader Su, the cafeteria should be opening soon, you should go eat."

"Alright, thank you."

After Su Mu left, the few soldiers stayed frozen in place, delighted and excited that Major General Su had said thank you to them!

Once they collected themselves, they appeared overjoyed and exceptionally excited.
