High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 260 - 222: Giant Bone Marrow, the Possibility of a Third Bone Tempering

Chapter 260: Chapter 222: Giant Bone Marrow, the Possibility of a Third Bone Tempering

Right now, what Su Mu lacks most is time. This Bone Marrow Cleansing Liquid can significantly enhance his strength and save a lot of time.

Suddenly, Su Mu realizes the importance of this Bone Marrow Cleansing Liquid. He absolutely cannot miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But there’s no such thing as a free lunch. To obtain such a precious treasure, which even Martial Saints can find beneficial, a heavy price must be paid.

"Uncle Hong, what should I do to obtain the Bone Marrow Cleansing Liquid?"

"The channels for exchange haven’t been announced yet. I’ll notify you as soon as there’s any news. In the meantime, you need to quickly improve your strength."

"Uncle Hong, I understand!"

At this point, Hong Lie takes out a space ring and hands it over, saying, "Inside here are your Battle Zone Token, military uniform, and battlefield manual, among other things."

"For now, you can peruse any Martial Arts Classics up to the Grandmaster level at your leisure. This is an exceptional reward for your Dragon Ascension in the war zone."

After receiving the ring, Su Mu hands the Wheat Ears Golden Star Token back to Hong Lie.

The third dormitory starts being cleaned up, and Mu Feng hesitantly approaches Su Mu, "Captain Su, my brother has returned to the war zone from a mission in the Beast Cave. I was thinking of asking for a day off—no, just half a day would be fine."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu waves his hand.

"Will three days be enough?"

Mu Feng is taken aback, then overjoyed, "That’s more than enough, thank you, Captain Su, for approving it."

...

After coming out of seclusion, Su Mu tries to sort out his current thoughts.

Right now, there are two most important things.

The most urgent is the test that Qingfeng Martial Saint has set for him. Of two tasks, only one needs to be completed, but one of the tasks is almost impossible to complete.

Furthermore, Sikong Zhi’s hint on the day of the selection was quite clear. The true test from the Martial Saint to him is the second task, which is to kill Sima Xie.

This is both an open conspiracy and a pledge of allegiance!

After killing Sima Xie, Su Mu would offend the Overlord Blade Saint Martial Hall and the Overlord Blade Martial Saint behind it, binding himself with Qingfeng Martial Saint.

Yet all this is predicated on the premise of Qingfeng Martial Saint’s protection.

However, Su Mu is already disappointed and completely distrusts this Qingfeng Martial Saint.

"The deadline is before becoming a Grandmaster..."

Su Mu’s eyes narrow slightly. Perhaps others would find it hard to resist the huge temptation of becoming the only true disciple of a Martial Saint.

But Su Mu has no interest in this, nor in the Martial Saint’s legacy.

He possesses "Fixed Star Body Refining Technique," "Crystal Visualization Technique," and "Secret of Power," three martial arts that transcend human martial arts. He may currently need to add "Cyan Lotus Martial Seed" to the list as well.

Su Mu doesn’t believe that a Martial Saint can offer a better cultivation technique. Besides, the martial arts he explores on his own are more suitable for himself and are destined to surpass inheriting others’ martial arts!

As for resources, Su Mu doesn’t currently lack them.

Moreover, he has a trump card of a superpower every month. Without needing to become a Martial Saint disciple, Su Mu is confident that given time, he can rely on his own ability to break through to the Ninth Level Martial Saint Realm.

"I will personally verify Sima Xie before taking action. All these actions will be my own will. No one can control my will, not even a Martial Saint."

"As for the first test task..."

"It’s not necessarily uncompletable!"

Brilliant light glimmers in Su Mu’s eyes. He has a plan in mind.

The second important matter is the dream. Su Mu must understand what the words "time is running out" truly imply.

Currently, he has already started to grasp spiritual power and can begin attempting to cultivate the "Crystal Visualization Technique."

If he’s unable to succeed, he needs to further master spiritual power, which leads back to the Cyan Lotus Martial Seed. Thus, he must quickly think of a way to improve the Cyan Lotus Martial Seed.

Once he gains control over the Three Jiao Gate, his own strength is bound to improve, making it more likely to acquire the Bone Marrow Cleansing Liquid from the military district.

After sorting out his thoughts, Su Mu’s goals become clearer. At this moment, a rumble of hunger echoes from his stomach, as condensing the Cyan Lotus Martial Seed has greatly depleted his qi and blood reserves.

"Let’s replenish some qi and blood first."

Su Mu heads to the nearest war zone cafeteria. Although it’s not meal time yet, the large cafeteria appears quite empty. He takes out his newly acquired Golden Identity Token and swipes it.

The person serving the food is a burly soldier. Seeing the Golden Token, he shows surprise. In the military district, a Silver Token represents a Major, while a Golden Token represents a General level.

However, he has never seen such a young General, and Su Mu looks unfamiliar. The food-serving soldier guesses Su Mu might be a relative of a senior officer.

Upon noticing Su Mu’s fair and tender skin, a hint of disdain flashes in his eyes.

[Battle Zone Points: 0]

Seeing the points, Su Mu is a bit stunned, "Can I pay with Spirit Stones?"

"With this token, you don’t need to spend points in the cafeteria."

Observing Su Mu taking an entire tray of fierce beast meat and then another few trays, the burly soldier’s tone becomes cold, "Let me remind you, in the war zone, wasted food by anyone will incur punishment, even if you’re a senior officer’s relative."

"Okay, thanks for the reminder."

With a glance at the soldier’s expression, Su Mu understands there might be a misunderstanding, but he doesn’t care or plan to explain.

Watching Su Mu leave with several trays of fierce beast meat, the soldier snorts coldly.

"I want to see how you’ll eat all this fierce beast flesh today."

This cafeteria is near the Intermediate Officers’ Dormitory. Most of the meat here is above the Fifth Level Fierce Beast, and today, there’s a limited supply of some Grandmaster Level Fierce Beast Flesh.

The burly soldier doesn’t know if it’s Su Mu’s sharp eye or dumb luck, but he managed to grab several large pieces of Grandmaster Level Fierce Beast Flesh.

This Grandmaster Level Fierce Beast Flesh contains incredible qi and blood; an ordinary Sixth Level Martial Artist would be doing well to consume five pounds in one sitting.

With the limited supply of Grandmaster Level Fierce Beast Flesh, each piece is slightly less than five pounds, yet the soldier saw Su Mu take over ten pieces at once, totaling fifty pounds here.

Such an amount of flesh would be challenging even for a First Forging Grandmaster to handle, and it’s hard for the burly soldier to believe someone so young and with such delicate skin could be a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Gazing at the several trays of large fierce beast meat before him, Su Mu’s appetite is piqued.

Immediately, he skewers several large pieces with his chopsticks and starts devouring them. As soon as the fierce beast meat enters his mouth, Su Mu’s eyes light up.

This fierce beast meat is chewy and full of bounce. Once ingested, he feels a slight warmth throughout his body, packed with rich qi and blood.

"I see."

"Indeed, the Southern War Zone... the cafeteria even has Sixth Level Fierce Beast Flesh."

Su Mu had once tasted Fire Flood Dragon meat, finding it comparable to the qi and blood in this fierce beast flesh, a little inferior in some.

He quickly concluded.

Next, Su Mu’s ferocious display—devouring five-pound pieces of Grandmaster Level Fierce Beast Flesh in three bites—left the burly soldier behind him utterly dumbfounded.

"This, this... how is this possible?"

After consuming several trays, Su Mu still wishes for more. Being able to gorge on meat is indeed one of life’s great happinesses.

While the burly soldier looked on in stupor, Su Mu carried away several more trays of Grandmaster Level Fierce Beast Flesh, now specifically choosing the ’Sixth Level Fierce Beast Flesh.’

As several more plates are consumed, Su Mu breathes a long sigh of satisfaction, and as he stands to leave, a small group of soldiers enters the cafeteria.

"Come on, be honest. While we were out on mission, you’ve been sneaking into the Body Technique Cultivation Room for extra training, just to win against me."

"Well, I still won."

"Alright, a bet’s a bet. I’ll treat you today, eat as much as you like." The soldier speaking shows a pained expression, knowing these guys would surely mercilessly extort him for a meal.

They’d definitely go for the Grandmaster Level Fierce Beast Flesh.

Body Technique Cultivation Room?

Su Mu’s eyes gleam with interest.

He can’t help but think of the Three Cities Training Camp from before, as these cultivation rooms are an excellent place to enhance one’s strength.

"Let’s go take a look."

Hopeful, Su Mu anticipates experiencing the Southern War Zone’s cultivation rooms, perhaps even ones for spiritual power training or other unique types.

With that thought, Su Mu strides out of the cafeteria.

At this moment, the small group of soldiers arrives at the serving counter, noticing a completely empty section where limited-supply items should be.

"Strange, I heard there’d be Grandmaster Level Fierce Beast Flesh here today?"

"Maybe we arrived too early?"
