High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 555 - 395: Act of Creation, One Glance Forges a Grandmaster, Soul Lotus

"Shi Hao and Xu Zhi, those two guys are also here. I have something that might be useful for your wife’s condition."

Su Mu’s eyes lit up slightly.

"Okay, I’ll come to Zhejiang Province to find you."

"No need to bother, I’m near the Imperial Capital. You get off at the Shanhai Pass station, give me a call when you arrive, and we’ll meet at our Surging Waves Restaurant."

"Alright."

The phone quickly disconnected, and Su Mu chuckled silently. Huangfu Xue was still her decisive and straightforward self, speaking without any fuss.

To be honest, Su Mu liked dealing with people like her, without needing to scheme and plot.

Memories of the old Three Cities Joint Training Camp emerged in his mind, the faces of the three instructors, Tantai Yan, Xing Fang, Cui Jian, and others also came to mind.

Coincidentally, they’re all in the Imperial Capital, even if Huangfu Xue didn’t mention the latter part, Su Mu still planned to meet them.

"It’s indeed been a long time, meeting would be nice."

...

Shanhai Pass, land of Yan and Zhao, northeastern part of Hebei Province, the throat that connects the northeast to North China, known as "the unrivaled key between two capitals, the first pass of the Great Wall."

Shanhai Pass was historically known as Yuguan, also called Yuguan, and was also named Linlü Pass. It derives its name from being north of Yanshan and south of Bohai Sea.

At the rooster’s crow, the world is bright; at the moment the first ray of dawn spills over the horizon, Su Mu arrived at Shanhai Pass.

Although Shanhai Pass is not within the Huaxia Imperial Capital’s jurisdiction, it is extremely close.

This place retains numerous ancient buildings, the mighty pass perches here, local people often revere martial arts more vehemently. Through the car window, although there aren’t as many skyscrapers as in the past in Yangcheng or Lin’an, Zhejiang Province, most people on the wide roads tend to be sturdier and taller.

In the northern winter, snow mixed with hail in the morning, it’s not uncommon to see groups of morning exercisers wearing thin vests on the sidewalk. At the traffic lights, confirming there’s enough landing space ahead, they leap over twenty meters, like highland antelopes crossing cliffs.

Such scenes happen frequently, and the surrounding folks are calm about it, evidently used to it. Some students watching show expressions of admiration and yearning.

Hmm?

Su Mu’s deep eyes fixated on a man in his thirties, dressed in sportswear.

"The embryonic form of a force field, a quasi-Martial Arts Grandmaster in his thirties, worthy of being near the Imperial Capital."

Just a glimpse is enough; encountering a quasi-Martial Arts Grandmaster so easily here, which, in a remote small town, would be enough to hold a high position.

Indeed, the Huaxia Imperial Capital and its vicinity are truly a place where talents are hidden.

The formation of a force field’s embryonic form indicates a Martial Arts Grandmaster isn’t far off, and might even breakthrough and ascend to a Martial Arts Grandmaster in the next moment.

However, this last step might be hampered for years, for decades, even a lifetime without hope.

Su Mu glanced once and then withdrew his gaze, while the man seemed to sense something and turned to look.

Eyes met.

"Is he understanding the Rule of Fire? To meet is fate... whether you breakthrough depends on yourself."

Su Mu thought, silver radiance hidden in his eyes, and then an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the man.

Suddenly, the man’s expression changed dramatically. Inside, waves of shock surged, for the man in the car looked much younger than himself, yet with just one glance, it seemed he could decide his life or death.

In a mere instant, the man felt as if a mountain weighed upon him, but in his peripheral vision, he noticed passersby unaffected.

Now he had no spare energy to consider these things, an indescribable weight made him tremble all over. "Crack," his bones couldn’t bear the heavy load, issuing a crisp snapping sound.

The man’s face turned beet red, he fell to his knees with a thud, feeling eyes of curiosity upon him, his heart was overwhelmed by fleeting humiliation and anger.

The next second, unprecedented ecstasy replaced them, as in his mind flashed a shadow of a supreme door connecting heaven and earth.

In the instant he glimpsed the door’s shadow, the Rule of Fire within him suddenly became restless.

Then, he felt the Three Flowers that had long stagnated within him, which he had meditated over day and night without breakthrough, begin to merge anew.

This step he estimated might take years, even longer, yet today a glance from that man prompted the opportunity for breakthrough.

"Could that man be a Titled Grandmaster?"

Not long after.

Boom------

The air on the scene twisted violently, emitting a series of terrifying explosions, Qi Blood Flower, Spiritual Flower, Martial Arts Flower bloomed resplendently. The frightening aura stirred a commotion in the vicinity.

"That’s the Three Flowers blooming, this person is advancing to become a Martial Arts Grandmaster!"

"Hiss, advancing to Grandmaster at such a young age, his future is limitless!"

Soon, a Martial Arts Grandmaster from the nearby Martial Arts Association arrived. Seeing the youthful face of the one advancing, Zhou Hailin first paused, then grinned joyfully.

"This person should be around thirty, to become a Grandmaster at such a young age, his martial arts talent is monstrous, not inferior to those from top Martial Arts families. Our Shanhai Pass Martial Arts Association has found quite a treasure this time!"

"I must quickly notify the president to prevent other forces from taking him."

This place near the Imperial Capital is teeming with Martial Arts families, all sorts of Martial Arts Associations, like fish crossing a river. Zhou Hailin hurriedly dialed a call, and in a short while, the streets were temporarily cordoned off by the arriving Martial Arts Association personnel.

In less than half an hour, the report about a martial arts prodigy at the Shanhai Pass Martial Arts Association spread throughout Shanhai Pass, and within an hour, had spread beyond.

Of course, this all happened later.

Sigh-----
