High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 593 - 411: Sparrow Python Devours Dragon, A Martial Artist Beyond Conventional Reasoning, Superpower Refresh System Upgrade! (2)

Ye Wuhen was trapped in the Illusion Realm and couldn’t escape; Ximen Gu even died. He had communicated with Qin Heng from the Southern War Zone, who encountered the same situation and was also trapped in the Illusion Realm.

As for another companion, Su Mu, Ye Wuhen didn’t think Su Mu could be an exception; naturally, his encounter would be the same.

However, Ye Wuhen was not overly pleased about his breakthrough in realms, because when he returned to the Ye Family, he heard that Ye Jian, who had always been inferior to him, began secluding himself for a titled breakthrough and even succeeded, emerging as titled.

This was hard for the ambitious Ye Wuhen to accept, but he also felt puzzled. If becoming titled was so easy, it would not be worthy of the title. Ye Jian broke through two forgings in these two years, advancing at a speed of one forging per year, comparable to Huangfu Tian.

But in Ye Wuhen’s heart, Ye Jian couldn’t be compared with Huangfu Tian. In any case, he thought Ye Jian’s advancement to be extremely odd.

Yet, no matter the title, Ye Wuhen was confident that even though he hadn’t taken that step, with his strength as a Fifth Forging Grandmaster, he wouldn’t necessarily be weaker than the titled Ye Jian.

Especially today, he heard that Ye Jian was only able to stop at the second level of Junlin Pavilion, leaving behind such a shocking and glorious feat, making Ye Wuhen sneer internally.

That blonde man changed the subject, saying, "Today, your country’s Martial Artist named Su Mu suppressed Huangfu Tian to top the Sword Monument of Junlin Pavilion. I had never heard of such a Celestial Pride from your country before. I’ve heard, Brother Wuhen, that you’re acquainted with him. How much do you know about him?"

Upon hearing this, a person in the corner, who had been keeping to herself, a white-robed nun in a gown of gold patterns with a holy aura, named Anika, couldn’t help but look up.

Anika, a candidate for the Holy Daughter of the Light from the Bright Church Court, was also a talented Demon Martial Artist likely to become the Saintess. Her teacher was the previous generation’s Holy Daughter of Light, who had left her name on the Sword Monument.

"I’m indeed acquainted with Su Mu, but I don’t know much about him. However, he’s a Martial Artist who can’t be reasoned with by common logic. He’s very strong."

"Can’t be reasoned with by common logic?" Hearing this, Anika couldn’t help but ask further.

Her crisp yet enchanting voice soon attracted everyone’s attention, surprising them that the usually silent Anika finally spoke. However, a bit of thought made it clear why Anika would be interested in Su Mu.

"Hmm, just a few months ago, there was a Martial Arts exchange meeting held at Celestial Cloud Mountain, and Su Mu, with the realm of a Sixth Level Martial Artist, punched a Grandmaster from the Martial Saint Martial Hall to death on the spot."

Ye Wuhen hid the name of the Overlord Blade Martial Arts Hall. Although he wasn’t afraid of the Overlord Blade Martial Saint, he wouldn’t easily offend him either.

Hiss!

As soon as these words fell, the audience was shocked.

For a Fifth Level Martial Artist to beat a Sixth Level Martial Artist was simple, but compared to the gap between the Sixth Level and a Grandmaster, the gap between the Fifth and Sixth Levels was as small as a minor realm.

Crossing a Great Realm, defeating a Grandmaster in one punch, and not just any Grandmaster but one from the Martial Saint Martial Hall, the statement immediately left the Demon Martial Artists present quite shocked and even displayed strong battle intent.

"So what is this person’s realm now?"

"If he could enter Junlin Pavilion, he seems to have already become a Grandmaster, but in just a few months, he should only be an initial Grandmaster."

Ye Wuhen said hesitantly, causing many people’s battle intent to dissipate considerably. They couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed; if he was just an initial Grandmaster, they didn’t have much interest in fighting him.

At the same time, Frell, who previously mentioned Su Mu, and several others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Huaxia didn’t produce another monster after all; if he’s just an initial Grandmaster, he’s not worth worrying about. Growth takes time.

Now, looking at Huaxia as a whole, his elder brother’s true rival is still Huangfu Tian.

Yet this left many people puzzled about how an initial Grandmaster could suppress someone like Huangfu Tian, a world-class Demon, to top the Sword Monument.

Just then, a cold snort sounded, and Ye Wuhen frowned, or rather, all the Huaxia Martial Artists present did. They knew without thinking which country’s Martial Artist let out the snort.

The crowd looked over, and a man dressed in a Samurai Robe, sitting cross-legged, began to speak. Miyamoto Musashi from Japan’s Rizhao Daoist School was his origin.

"A Sixth Level Martial Artist defeating a Grandmaster is nothing. Just an initial Grandmaster, who here couldn’t do such a thing?"

"As for Junlin Pavilion, naive, I think Su Mu must have used some method. Ye Wuhen, do you really believe that an initial Grandmaster could achieve all this through mere strength?"

With those words, tension filled the air, though many foreign Martial Artists simply watched with amusement, indifferent to the outcome, even if a fight broke out.

Moreover, the Huaxia side always had Huangfu Tian overshadowing the younger generation of Martial Artists, and they were happy to see Huaxia suffer.

They knew that Miyamoto Musashi had recently received guidance from a Martial Saint, reaching a strength of half-step Titled, while Ye Wuhen had just advanced to the Fifth Forging, which Frell had deliberately pointed out in front of Miyamoto Musashi.

Little did they expect Miyamoto Musashi to take the bait directly.

Additionally, Miyamoto Musashi spoke with ulterior motives, not discussing the Ye Family but rather focusing only on Ye Wuhen, yet everyone present knew this was a mockery of the entire Ye Family.

"What did you say?"

Ye Wuhen raised his eyebrows, and a dominant Spear Momentum suddenly burst forth.

In the next moment.

A blazing Sword Momentum emanated from Miyamoto Musashi.

The two Martial Momenta collided fiercely, transforming into a violent gust, instantly obliterating all surrounding trees into dust. The residual waves from the collision were enough to instantly severely injure or even kill some weaker Martial Arts Grandmasters.

Crack.

The teapots on both of their tables shattered. Ye Wuhen remained unmoved, while Miyamoto Musashi’s face flushed, clearly having the disadvantage in this clash, suffering a minor setback.

After one strike, Ye Wuhen didn’t continue. He casually took out another set of tea utensils and resumed brewing tea.

"Hmph, this is a place to exchange Martial Arts insights. If you want to fight, we shall duel after tomorrow’s grand banquet."

"Very well, see you tomorrow!"

Miyamoto Musashi, having suffered a loss, didn’t linger and got up to leave.

Many Martial Artists present looked at Ye Wuhen with veiled hostility, treating him as a major threat. Ye Wuhen’s recent increase in power was considerable, and even though he had the initiative in suppressing Miyamoto Musashi, his prowess was astonishing.

Regarding Su Mu, many actually agreed with Miyamoto Musashi’s earlier remarks.

In their view, an initial Grandmaster wasn’t worth mentioning.

...

Ye City Martial Arts Association, after midnight.

Su Mu opened his eyes, puzzled; moments ago, he suddenly felt his superpower disappear.

"Something’s not right."

According to the time calculation, each superpower lasts for a month. Previously, he would draw one on the first of each month, but recently this timing got messed up. However, normally, several days should still remain before the superpower’s expiry.

"Could it be the Time Flow Speed under the Power of Time at Junlin Pavilion causing a discrepancy in the system’s duration of the superpower?"

Su Mu could only think of this possibility. There’s no use thinking too much; since it’s expired, it’s best to draw a new one.

Without hesitation, Su Mu didn’t dwell on it. With a thought, the dark Cultivation Room immediately filled with Spiritual Qi, even condensing into a Spiritual Energy Mist in the air.
