High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 268 - 229: The One of Great Destiny, On the Eve of the Mission

Chapter 268: Chapter 229: The One of Great Destiny, On the Eve of the Mission

[Quality: Orange]

[Superpower: Basic Destiny (Special Type), a natural leader, favored by the people, destiny adds to oneself.]

[PS: During the period that destiny is added to you, you can vaguely perceive people with great destiny.]

[PS: After the superpower ends, the obtained destiny will not dissipate immediately.]

Basic Destiny, destiny added to oneself?!

The specific ability of this superpower has no description at all, mysterious and elusive.

But as for the role of destiny, there is no doubt, Su Mu still has some understanding.

For example, in a past life, Liu Xiu, teased by people as the Great Mage and son of the realm, was a person of great destiny, even the heavens assisted his path to kingship with meteors.

Another example is some children of destiny in novels, who from birth are favored by destiny, the most prominent role being that even in ten-death-no-life situations, such people often turn adversity into fortune, even turning it into opportunity.

But how can destiny be increased?

A natural leader, favored by the people?

As thoughts quickly turned.

Mysteriously, strands of favor descended upon Su Mu, this cool breath he had never felt before, profoundly mystical.

Su Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly, vaguely able to see strands of glow floating from all directions, then hovering above his head, pouring in like a revelation.

At this moment, he vaguely felt that the bottlenecks he encountered in cultivation like Sword Momentum, the Fifth Form of the Surging Waves Saber Technique, and the Third Floor of the Secret of Power, all had some insights, and then these bottlenecks had mildly loosened.

"It seems this is the role of destiny."

These destinies are currently too few to have a substantive effect, but as long as they accumulate this month, perhaps quantitative change will lead to qualitative change, bringing him a huge surprise.

"But where do these destinies come from?"

Thoughts followed the heart.

In an instant, Su Mu’s gaze pierced through countless mountains and rivers, across thousands of miles, and scenes appeared before his eyes.

Among them, the largest scenes were Xiaoyue, Miaomiao, Tantai Yan, parents, teachers, junior sisters, Little One and others, occupying the center.

Besides, Ji Xiaoyan, Ling Xue’s figures were not small either, they stood on the left, and on the right were Huangfu Xue, Zhao Dong, Uncle Hong, Chairman Zhong, Uncle Li and others.

Seeing the two figures on the left, Su Mu was a bit surprised.

Soon his gaze stopped on a vague figure on the right, and inexplicably a name surfaced in his mind.

Qingfeng Martial Saint.

Su Mu knew this inexplicable feeling was mostly granted by the superpower.

If destiny can be obtained by being a natural leader, favored by the people, does it indicate that this Qingfeng Martial Saint truly approves of him?

Su Mu hesitated for only a moment, and his eyes quickly regained determination.

He, Su Mu, can only have his destiny in his own hands. Rather than pinning hopes on the Martial Saint, Su Mu believes more in his own strength!

Moving his gaze away, Su Mu also saw Luo Cheng, Gong Wu, Luo Mei, Lu Xue, and the Jiuzhong Middle School students he had taught.

Almost everyone he knew was in the scenes, large and small, and as the scenes continued to extend, Su Mu saw many faces he didn’t know at all.

Perhaps it was because the heat of his Dragon Ascension battle in South China had not yet dissipated.

At the same time, Su Mu quickly noticed that faint glow floated from the people in the scenes, but the brilliance of these glows varied in strength.

"The stronger their strength, the higher their expectations of me... the higher the destiny they can pass to me?"

"The Dragon Ascension battle gained me public attention in South China, but this attention is short-lived, perhaps a month or a few months before it will be forgotten, so the destiny they can pass is very weak."

Su Mu had a preliminary guess in his heart, but he was also a bit puzzled.

Among them, there are three people and one beast that are very special.

The Qingfeng Martial Saint is surrounded by an indistinct and solid glow, a Martial Saint who has reached the peak of martial arts carries great destiny, which does not surprise Su Mu. The other two people and one beast are Miaomiao, Xiaoyue, and Foodie.

"The teacher said Xiaoyue has a very high talent, Foodie’s potential is also extremely high... but what about Miaomiao?"

Su Mu thought back and forth, and finally could only think of one possibility.

Close to someone good makes one good, close to someone evil makes one evil.

Perhaps staying by the side of those with great destiny for long leaves one stained with destiny too.

In the end, Su Mu looked down at himself, smiled, and shook his head.

"A healer cannot heal themselves..."

"I cannot see my own destiny."

...

That day, Su Mu called his family and teachers.

"Mom, I’d like to have a private talk with Dad."

Miaomiao handed the phone to her daughter Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue walked to close the door, and whispered mysteriously, "Dad, Foodie told me it wants to come back to you."

"And you know, recently Foodie has been in a funk, sometimes suddenly making the surrounding temperature rise significantly, and sometimes suddenly dropping it..."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu was slightly taken aback, with a hint of comfort in his heart. He quickly realized that his daughter should be communicating with Foodie through spiritual power.

At the same time, he also thought of the glow he had just seen.

Foodie has high potential, and when he let his family take Foodie back, he figured that Foodie’s strength was enough to rival the sixth level, in case of any unexpected situations, Foodie could also be a safeguard.

But now that the Martial Saints have entered the scene, with Little One’s current strength, it’s better to bring it back and keep it by my side. Perhaps Little One’s strength can improve rapidly, and maybe that’s the right way.

At least Little One needs to reach Grandmaster Level to somewhat protect the family!

And Little One’s abnormality, perhaps it’s caused by the imbalance of two forces within its body, continuing to stay beside the family might even become a hidden danger.

"Alright, I know, Xiaoyue, I’ll mention it to your master in a bit."

...

After communicating with the family, Su Mu carefully reviewed the mission content.

His expression was calm, with not a hint of wavering in his eyes. He needed Bone Marrow Cleansing Liquid to attempt the Bone Tempering three times; it was a crucial step in advancing to Martial Saint, and he couldn’t miss this chance.

"But there’s no need to let others take risks with me."

"I’m enough alone."

Looking at the list of elite soldiers sent by Uncle Hong, Su Mu made his decision.

For the next three days, Su Mu began a life of moving between the cultivation area and the cafeteria.

"He’s coming, he’s coming, the legendary Major General Su is here!"

"I heard last time his cold weapon stage four pass rate was over 80%!"

"Was it 80%? I heard it was over 85%!"

When Su Mu arrived, there was a long queue outside the Sword Technique Cultivation Room. Just as he was about to turn and head to another cultivation room, a soldier from the War Zone quickly saluted Su Mu.

"Major General Su, you go first."

"Alright, thank you."

After returning a salute, Su Mu swiped his Identity Token and entered the Weapon Cultivation Room.

The second time was actually harder for Su Mu than the first training session.

Because after returning last time, Su Mu realized his sword technique hadn’t actually reached the 95% level of the fourth stage, it was just that his flesh had transformed through the Fixed Star Body Refining Technique, and the strong flesh made it much easier.

So this time, Su Mu restrained his own strength.

In the Weapon Cultivation Room, a figure was nimble as a dragon, sweat was instantly evaporated by the searing flesh, white steam rose from all over, and the interwoven sword light formed a one-zhang forbidden zone.

"Is it over?"

Before he knew it, the cultivation room session had ended again because he’d passed the fourth stage once more. The cultivation room was a mess, and Su Mu, feeling a bit unsatisfied, pressed the clean-up button and walked out of the room.

The door opened, and the area outside was packed with people, all eager to witness firsthand.

When they saw the mess on the ground and the conspicuous golden: fourth stage, pass rate 86%...

The scene was instantly silent, and by the time they came to their senses, Su Mu had long disappeared, and the audience was soon filled with gasps.

"Major General Su, this is too strong!"

"Indeed, over 85%, this sword technique could already be considered that of a Sword Dao Grandmaster, is this the Dragon Ascension Demon?!"

"How can the gap between people be so vast!"

Inside the Gravity Cultivation Room.

"According to the task description, the gravity at the bottom level of the Medium-sized Beast Cave is about five times."

Su Mu casually set the gravity to seven times, but this was the limit of the sector’s Gravity Cultivation Room, not Su Mu’s limit.

Early the next morning.

An unexpected guest visited the Southern War Zone.

Su Mu was taken aback when he saw his daughter and Little One on the jeep because he didn’t see anyone else and, this time, he saw even more clearly the glow on his daughter and Little One.

With a swish, Little One let out cheerful chirps, flapping its wings and rushing over.

"Dad, I brought Little One." The daughter’s tone was delighted yet carried a hint of loss.

"Xiaoyue, where’s your master?"

"Dad, I came by myself this time."

Su Mu was taken aback.

"I heard from mom that, dad, when you were eight or nine years old, you traveled back and forth between Shenjiang City Center and the base alone." The daughter Xiaoyue preemptively blocked her father Su Mu’s words.

"I called Grandpa Hong before setting off."

"Not to be repeated."

"Su Mu, don’t worry, I’ll send someone to take Xiaoyue back later." Hong Lie said with a smile; Su Mu’s daughter is quite likable.

At dusk, Xiaoyue embraced Little One one last time, waving her small hand in reluctant farewell as she left the War Zone.

Time passed, and three days later, at the promotion ceremony, War Zone chief Zhao Dong personally adorned Su Mu with the epaulets.

"Major General Su Mu, I wish you prosperous martial fortune."

"Prosperous martial fortune!"

The tens of thousands of soldiers remaining in the camp raised their right hands in unison, saluting Su Mu on the stage. The neat salute, the solemn and majestic scene!

Su Mu’s blood boiled within, and he returned a salute to the soldiers below the stage.

Instantly, the scene was filled with thunderous applause.

At night, a military aircraft from the Southern War Zone took off, heading towards Yun Province.
