High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 147 - 134: Zhong Guoping’s Regret, Su Mu Joins the South China Military Region

Chapter 147: Chapter 134: Zhong Guoping’s Regret, Su Mu Joins the South China Military Region

Sergeant Su!

Hong Lie addressed Su Mu as Sergeant Su, nothing else.

Clearly, he was considering Su Mu as one of his own, and this was a backing gesture, as Hong Lie was from the war zone, which meant he was representing the entire war zone at the moment.

Joining the Southern War Zone?!

Su Mu’s eyes brightened slightly, this would be an excellent choice; the Martial Arts Family is indeed strong, otherwise Lin Heng wouldn’t act so domineering.

But the war zone is likewise a colossal entity, backed by the military, and behind the military is Huaxia.

For a moment, Su Mu felt joyful, just as he thought offending the Lin Family would make things difficult in the future, potentially implicating his family, teachers, and others.

Shi Hao brought Hong Lie over, which made Su Mu feel grateful towards Shi Hao.

This was undeniably like a blessing in drought, arriving extremely timely.

Su Mu looked over and noticed Shi Hao’s expectant expression.

"Major General Hong, please allow me to join the war zone."

"Sergeant Su, from now on, you are a member of the war zone; welcome aboard." Hong Lie reached out and patted Su Mu’s shoulder.

Shi Hao’s hands flashed, holding several sets of military uniforms and the war zone’s insignia, already prepared.

Su Mu solemnly accepted them with both hands.

...

Behind them, inside the room, Lin Heng’s expression changed several times instantly, feeling deeply disgusted as if having swallowed a fly upon seeing Su Mu join the war zone.

Although the Lin Family is a Martial Arts Family, they aren’t the most elite Martial Arts Family, and even those few elite Martial Arts Families have to give some face to the war zone, because the war zone usually represents the military, represents Huaxia.

In this way, the harsh words he made earlier became a joke.

"This kid is hot-tempered; Vice President Lin, our war zone will take this kid in. I certainly will help discipline him properly, no need to worry," Hong Lie pretended to speak fiercely.

Anyone present could tell Hong Lie was speaking sarcastically, also warning Lin Heng, that now Su Mu is part of the war zone; if any disciplining is needed, it will be done by the war zone without interference from the Lin Family.

Lin Heng fell into silence, when Zhong Guoping arrived, he saw the military uniform in Su Mu’s hand and felt quite regretful; someone had informed him that Su Mu’s friends had come to visit.

He didn’t think much of it and later learned that people from the war zone had come, so Zhong Guoping rushed over, but still arrived late, only to find the person had been taken away by the war zone from the Provincial Martial Arts Association.

The person had directly been intercepted by the war zone.

"Chairman Zhong, long time no see."

"Major General Hong, it’s been a while indeed; you arrived rather quickly, Major General."

Hong Lie heard the implied meaning and laughed heartily.

"Just a coincidence."

Chairman Zhong noticed Lin Heng’s somewhat off expression and guessed what had happened; Su Mu indeed rejected Lin Heng’s invitation.

But he was somewhat surprised and glanced at Su Mu, realizing that Su Mu upset Lin Heng quite a bit; it was likely that the kid refused without much thought.

Thinking about this, Zhong Guoping nodded secretly; he didn’t mistake his judgment, just as he was having such thoughts, he regretted more; if only he had acted first, he had intended to use the Grandmaster Tower’s spot as a reason to talk with Su Mu.

Now, regrettably, Hong Lie acted first.

"Let’s go, let’s catch up."

On their way out, Zhong Guoping took Lin Heng with him, leaving only Shi Hao and Su Mu behind.

...

"Shi Hao, great kindness for which words cannot express, thank you for helping me out of the bind."

Shi Hao was somewhat stunned upon hearing this, "Su Mu, why thank me? Xu Zhi and I should thank you instead; being able to pull you, this monster, into our war zone is a great chance for both Xu Zhi and me."

"In the future, thanks to this opportunity, we might climb higher."

Su Mu exhaled lightly and started chatting with Shi Hao.

"How did you know I was at the Provincial Martial Arts Association?"

"You’ve made such a big fuss, stopping the Grandmaster Tower for a month, passing the seventh floor on your first challenge; it’s hard for us not to know."

"Initially, it was Huangfu Xue who told us about it and suggested whether to act quickly to pull you into the war zone; otherwise, there might not be a chance later."

"Huangfu Xue was probably joking, after all, she is from the Huangfu Family and doesn’t lack opportunities, but Xu Zhi and I took it seriously. Subsequently, Xu Zhi and I contacted the war zone, and managed to seize this opportunity."

"Because I know you, and we have a connection, I was fortunate enough to be brought along by Major General Hong Lie to meet you, Su Mu." Shi Hao said with some emotion.

The three of them had witnessed Su Mu’s rise; on the day Su Mu first arrived at the Training Camp, he even had Corporal Lou scare Su Mu a bit, and months passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Mu defeated Tantai Yan, strongly taking the top spot at the Three Cities Training Camp, and recently caused the Grandmaster Tower’s anomaly, directly becoming a Huaxia Third-level Martial Artist. Now the war zone brought him to enlist Su Mu.

Shi Hao spoke honestly, revealing everything, which made Su Mu realize suddenly. He guessed Huangfu Xue was aware of the Grandmaster Tower’s anomaly here because she was paying attention to him.

Thus, it led to the joke among the three of them; if not for Huangfu Xue’s joke, Su Mu would have struggled to face the Lin Family directly.

Recalling the entire sequence, it was actually because of Su Mu’s teleportation to Zhejiang Province; otherwise, none of this series of events would have occurred.

Nevertheless, Su Mu was still grateful to the three, "Anyway, thank you for helping me out; I’ll treat the three of you to a meal when there’s a chance, and if there’s anything I can help with, just say the word."

"We’ll have to find a time later; Huangfu Xue has time because she merely has a nominal position in the military; Xu Zhi and I often need to go on missions, so gathering time is difficult, but there will be time."

"Almost forgot, congratulations to Su Mu; now the three of us unanimously consider you the future Grandmaster Su Mu, and it was Huangfu Xue who first called you that."

"Grandmaster Su Mu?!"

Su Mu’s eyes brightened slightly.

"Speaking of which, since you defeated Tantai Yan, I’ve had the thought; spar a bit?" Shi Hao was quite eager.

"Alright."

Su Mu agreed, and immediately the two rented a Martial Arts Arena, with Shi Hao taking a deep breath.

A moment later.

"No more, no more, Su Mu, you’re truly a monster; your sword momentum reached Minor Success, fighting you is pointless."

"Am I sensing wrong, why do I feel like your Qi and Blood are more robust than mine, a Sixth Level Initial Stage martial artist?"

"If you went all out, I doubt I’d last a single slash; truly worthy of One-Slash Asura." Shi Hao exclaimed, truly thinking he might withstand two or three slashes, planning to brag to Xu Zhi.

Su Mu chuckled without saying anything, sheathing his saber, as Shi Hao wasn’t capable of making him exert his full strength.

"Really abnormal, Su Mu; your opponents should be those in selection competitions; the preliminaries would be no difficulty for you, merely procedural."

...

"Less than two months before the preliminaries; after that, you report to the war zone; utilize this period yourself."

"As for your role, I’m short of a guard."

Major General Hong Lie finished speaking, with Shi Hao casting envious glances; a guard beside Major General, that’s quite a start! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Alright, Major General Hong."

"Kid, you’re part of our war zone now; your competition identity is as part of the war zone, work hard."

Shi Hao and Major General Hong Lie left the Provincial Martial Arts Association that day.

"Head back to school, must quickly reforge the Red Sun Saber."

Su Mu was somewhat missing the superpower of coordinate transmission; with that ability, he could teleport back directly; now he had to diligently book a flight.

"Must find time to sort out the eleven Space Runes I’ve recorded, then find the chance to give them to my teacher, unsure if they’ll be useful."

Su Mu was hopeful, hoping his teacher could gain insights from them; if he could eventually comprehend how to construct a Space Transmission Array, it would be fantastic.

At Shenjiang Martial Arts University, Forging Academy, in a forging room, Wang Shuheng had a joyful expression.

"That’s correct, the thought process this time wasn’t wrong... if successful, it will greatly increase the capacity to hold Blade Qi!"

"This will be an entirely new forging approach, potentially applicable to other weapons."

At this moment, a ripple of enthusiasm flashed in Wang Shuheng’s eyes; his heart was once again restless; he had a strong premonition, this time, if successful, perhaps...

The next second, he sneezed repeatedly several times.

"Hmm? Is someone thinking of me?"

"Could it be the Tantai Family?"
