High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 288 - 246: Shattering the Fierce Beast, Rule of Force

Chapter 288: Chapter 246: Shattering the Fierce Beast, Rule of Force

The immense and profound mystery of the Third Floor of the Secret of Power far exceeded Su Mu’s expectations.

As it unsealed, a terrifying brainstorm unfolded in Su Mu’s mind, insight surging like a volcanic eruption, yet raging like surging waves, roaring incessantly.

Without allowing Su Mu to hesitate, he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, a stream of mysterious power circulating within him.

"Major General Su, something seems... off?!" someone noticed over here and hesitantly spoke.

"What could be off? Major General Su couldn’t possibly have a problem!"

By the end of this day, the warriors of the 007th Beast Cave area had become numb, but no sooner had the words been spoken than someone cried out in alarm.

"Oh no, Major General Su is cultivating, and he’s being ambushed!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked over and saw Su Mu sitting cross-legged, an unguarded position, and behind him, amidst a heap of corpses, a Fierce Beast lay dormant, its bloody maw opening wide to bite the unsuspecting Su Mu.

A warrior immediately raised his gun.

Bang.

The bullet shot out and was instantly skewed by the special force field of the Beast Cave, veering towards the sky.

"Damn, there’s no time..."

Zhen Yue had been watching Su Mu from the corner of his eye, and with the reduced number of beasts, he had let his guard down, never expecting such an unexpected situation.

If Su Mu were in his normal state, this Sixth Level Fierce Beast wouldn’t be any concern to him, even if it were a Grandmaster-level Fierce Beast; he had slain many Grandmaster-level Fierce Beasts.

But Su Mu was clearly in a state of cultivation, perhaps gaining insight, being attacked so unguarded, not just a Sixth Level Martial Artist, even a Martial Arts Grandmaster, if not dead, would be severely injured...

In an instant, the expressions of the crowd changed dramatically, several Martial Arts Golden Bodies instantly materialized, and several powerful auras exploded within the camp as several nearby generals attempted to rescue Su Mu.

But it was too late.

"You beast, how dare you!" Zhen Yue’s neck veins bulged, his eyes cracked with rage.

The open maw of the ferocious Sixth Level wolf-shaped Fierce Beast lunged at Su Mu’s head, its fangs over a meter long, gleaming coldly.

At this moment, everyone’s breath caught, many couldn’t bear to watch, subconsciously averting their eyes.

Unwilling to see a Dragon Ascending Demon fall like this...

But in the next instant.

Thud.

The Sixth Level wolf-shaped Fierce Beast hadn’t even touched Su Mu when its body suddenly stiffened, then exploded instantaneously.

In an instant, it shattered into countless pieces of flesh, blood spilling everywhere.

Strangely, not a drop of blood touched the unguarded Su Mu; it blossomed into a bloom of blood half a step away from him.

Sssss—

The scene was bizarre; everyone wore expressions of disbelief, gasping, completely unable to comprehend what had just transpired.

"What... what just happened?" Several Martial Arts Grandmasters who were about to step in halted, looking at each other, even they couldn’t comprehend what had just occurred.

Su Mu’s eyes were still closed, clearly not himself the one who killed the Sixth Level Fierce Beast.

To them, the Fierce Beast seemed to be shattered instantly by some inexplicable, invisible force from Su Mu...

"Well done, Major General Su!"

"Truly amazing, Major General Su, even in cultivation, not even Fierce Beasts can ambush him, it’s just too strong!"

The miraculous scene, after someone shouted, was followed by cheers like the roar of mountains and seas outside the Beast Cave, the warriors looking at the figure with joy and reverence in their eyes.

Thus, a surge of even denser Power of Destiny drifted from their bodies.

Hoo.

Zhen Yue exhaled a long breath; he couldn’t understand the previous scene, but it didn’t matter, as long as Su Mu was safe.

Once calm, Zhen Yue suddenly remembered Su Mu’s past ferocious achievements seen at the selection trials, where he clashed with Grandmaster-level weapons with his flesh.

On the battlefield, Zhen Yue had seen with his own eyes, with his own flesh, Su Mu plummeting from tens of thousands of meters from aircraft, then crushing Grandmaster-level Fierce Beasts in sheer force.

This Su Mu’s flesh must be supremely strong, even if that bite had landed solidly.

Even without that unknown force shattering the Sixth Level Fierce Beast, its fangs would surely crumble...

"Concern leads to chaos... but yes, the boy’s flesh is probably more than a Sixth Level Fierce Beast could penetrate." Zhen Yue shook his head, questioning whether even a Grandmaster-level initial stage Fierce Beast could break Su Mu’s defenses.

But reason is reason; in a situation like before, how could he not be flustered?

If a Demon of Su Mu’s level were harmed under his watch, he might become the Huaxia Military Department’s eternal sinner, nailed forever on the pillar of shame.

...

The magnificent twilight fell upon a perfect flesh, his sturdy face calm and serene.

Su Mu himself was unaware of all that had just occurred.

At this moment, he was immersed in a wondrous state of selflessness; the Third Floor of the Secret of Power was incredibly profound and profound.

In his mind, shadowy figures continued to punch, each strike trembling the void, and at this moment, Su Mu trembled intensely.

"Ordinary martial artists begin to touch upon the power of rules after advancing to Grandmaster, enabling them to harness the Power of Heaven and Earth."

"Power, actually... is also a rule, a type of special Power of Rules."

"This rule is completely different from the Rule of Fire and the Rule of Water I’m currently touching upon. The Rule of Force doesn’t borrow from the Power of Heaven and Earth but originates from the flesh itself; power comes from the flesh..."

"Not relying on external forces..."

Su Mu understood thoroughly, as if seeing the light, as if a veil was lifted.

As a result, the countless shadows in his mind began to merge into one, and finally, a special power circulated within Su Mu, flowing through every inch of his flesh, every cell.

Previously, every time Su Mu fully activated the Second Floor of the Secret of Power, he could vaguely sense this power, he guessed it might be a type of Power of Rules related to strength, but without causing the Power of Heaven and Earth.

That guess was denied by him...

Before, he didn’t know what this power was.

But now, Su Mu understood; this power was the Rule of Force, a purely powerful Power of Rules originating from oneself, from the flesh.

"I see..."

"Strength is the first Power of Rules I, Su Mu, have mastered!"

...

When Su Mu emerged from his epiphany, he found the gazes around him slightly strange.

And the Power of Destiny emanating from the warriors was even denser...

Noticing Su Mu’s confused expression, Zhen Yue shook his head and simply recounted the earlier events.

"You rascal, you’re a monster..."

"But in the Beast Cave, you absolutely can’t do that again, my heart was almost scared to a stop thinking I’d become an eternal sinner of the Military Department..."

The next morning at dawn, a warplane landed.

Su Mu gave a military salute to Zhen Yue and then led his team towards the warplane.

"1198th Division, all of you, turn left, attention, salute Major General Su!" Zhen Yue shouted.

The entire 1198th Division moved with precision, each filled with respect, arms snapping up like steel knives, saluting Su Mu.

"Major General Su!"

As they proceeded, warriors from other divisions of the 007th Beast Cave also saluted, and these days, Su Mu’s unparalleled strength had thoroughly won over the warriors from these divisions.

This scene profoundly shocked the squad members behind Su Mu; they were initially shaken by Su Mu’s immense strength.

But in these days, watching Su Mu fight tirelessly on the frontline, even single-handedly supporting other battle lines without rest, they were deeply convinced by Su Mu’s powerful personal charisma and noble personal conduct.

At this moment, the towering Su Mu in front of them, for the first time in their lives, inspired in them the desire to follow someone!

Su Mu paused in his steps, then looked around at all the warriors, solemnly returning a salute.

"To all the warriors present, you are all respectable people in my eyes, Su Mu. I wish you prosperity in martial fortune!"

"Prosperity in martial fortune!"

The thunderous roar resonated through the sky, drowning out the plane’s rumble.

Watching the warplane fade from view, Zhen Yue knew in his heart that the next time they met, Su Mu, this true dragon of the world, would likely have grown to a height even he couldn’t fathom.
