High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 70: Orange Superpower, Future Sight

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Orange Superpower, Future Sight
"The ancients did not deceive me; killing and arson bring wealth."
After defeating Demon Staff and Scarface, Su Mu acquired a total of more than 135,000 middle grade Spirit Stones.
Thus, spending 100,000 middle grade Spirit Stones at once did not cause Su Mu any heartache.
In the underground Cultivation Room, 100,000 middle grade Spirit Stones were piled into a small mountain, glowing brightly. Su Mu could only see such a sight in dreams before.
A pale blue light lit up around the wheel in the void, and it accelerated for a few seconds before slowing down. The next second, a dazzling orange light flashed, illuminating the entire basement instantly.
"The ability quality lower limit of 100,000 middle grade Spirit Stones has been raised to blue."
"Golden? ...No, it’s orange!"
Su Mu couldn’t hide his joy and immediately observed this orange color carefully for the first time. The orange was more dazzling and brilliant than the previous two purples, but still a bit lacking compared to the initial golden legend.
The golden was more splendid and stunning, while the orange was slightly inferior.
"As expected, there is another color between purple and gold, and orange most likely corresponds to the Eighth Level."
[Quality: Orange]
[Superpower: Basic Future Sight (Special), activates ability to glimpse the short-term timeline beyond the current time node by concentrating the mind. The length of the timeline that can be viewed is related to the user’s Spiritual Power strength, and the deeper the observation, the greater the probability of backlash.]
[PS: Can only be used once a day, can be accumulated until the superpower disappears.]
[PS: When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you!]
Basic Future Sight?
Peering into short-term timelines that haven’t happened yet?!
Su Mu was taken aback; this drawn superpower was more mysterious than the previous ones. Foreseeing the future must be powerful, but Su Mu had no immediate idea what to use it for.
"However, being able to use it once a day and being accumulative...this is quite nice, not wasted."
Su Mu, satisfied but surprised, initially expected to draw a superpower that would aid in Cultivation or simply and brutally enhance combat power.
Therefore, the orange Future Sight caught him off guard.
"Sometimes, being too lucky doesn’t seem to be a good thing?"
"But I don’t have a Spiritual Talent, nor do I know how far into the future I can see, a few seconds, half a minute?"
...
The crow of the rooster brought daylight.
The proud rooster in Su Mu’s yard was a local specialty brought by Zhao Meng, who said her grandparents raised it for seven to eight years. Besides that, Zhao Meng also brought homemade rice wine, glutinous rice cakes, and marinated tofu, claiming these as local specialties.
In short, Little Junior Sister packed a bunch of these in her Space Ring and distributed them to everyone.
"Send some rice wine back to Miaomiao and the old man. The marinated tofu can be a nice drink companion, and give the glutinous rice cakes to Xiaoyue. She loves fried rice cakes."
In the recent days, while Cultivating his Body Technique, Su Mu also drank some rice wine. Its rich and fragrant taste was quite excellent.
Miaomiao inherited the old man’s drinking genes and exceeded him.
Today, Little One also returned to school. She sought out Su Mu about the authorization matter.
"Uncle Wolf, I’ve edited the Vlog I shot on the battlefield. I wish to post it to my personal channel. Can I retain some of your footage? Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control."
At that moment, Little One also showed Su Mu the video. There was no footage of slaughtering the Alien Race. It looked like a daily video, so Su Mu nodded.
"How is your admission process coming along?"
"Zhao Meng and Zhou Yuan have both taken care of it for me."
"Here, try these fruits and vegetables." Su Mu prepared a bag for everyone.
Receiving the bag, Little One looked delighted and was about to say something when Zhao Meng waved vigorously from a distance. "Little Sister Xiaoxiao, I’ll grab a few local chickens for you; they’re in my dormitory. I also brought some sweet potato chips."
"By the way, Senior Brother, the teacher asked you to go to the Forging Room."
"Alright, I’m on my way."
Little One was soon dragged away by Little Junior Sister. The new term had begun, and everyone was gathering, as Su Mu was going to attend the Three Cities Joint Training Camp soon.
Su Mu invited everyone, intending to have dinner together tonight.
Forging Academy, Forging Room.
Bam bam bam.
"Come in."
"Teacher, you called for me?"
Wang Shuheng didn’t even lift his head, currently bent over as he engraved Inscriptions on a blade with an Inscription Pen. "Your blade is in the final stages. I called you to discuss your thoughts."
"Do you want to hold more Blade Qi?"
"Or do you want this blade to have more power?"
Su Mu approached, his gaze falling on the blade. It was covered in intricate Inscriptions, resembling the texture of the blade itself. This was undoubtedly a massive undertaking.
"Currently, this blade is at the Fifth Level Weapon. If you choose the latter, I can make it temporarily reach the fivefold Qi and Blood enhancement of a Sixth Level Weapon once fully activated."
"If the former, then some Enhancement Inscriptions need to be sacrificed to inscribe more improved Reinforcement Inscriptions for increased blade strength."
Blade Qi or a Sixth Level Weapon?
Su Mu pondered briefly and made a choice, "Teacher, I want to hold more Blade Qi."
Upon hearing the choice, Wang Shuheng glanced up, nodding appreciatively, then retrieved a notebook from a messy table nearby. The handwriting seemed familiar.
"This Inscription was inspired by Mengmeng. This new Inscription, based on the Reinforcement Inscription, integrates two other special ancient Inscriptions. The functions of these two Inscriptions are..."
Halfway through speaking, Wang Shuheng suddenly realized something, "Forget it, even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand. So you’re choosing the Blade Qi option."
Su Mu chuckled awkwardly, secretly amazed, seeing that Little Junior Sister’s talent with Inscriptions was extremely high. Su Mu also wanted to inquire about Spiritual Talent.
"Teacher, what are the weaknesses of a Spiritual Talent?"
Wang Shuheng paused, "A Spiritual Talent is appearing at this Training Camp?"
"Teacher has incredible insight."
"Quit flattering me, kid." Even as he said that, the teacher flashed a smug look, clearly pleased. "That’s strange, why would a Spiritual Talent participant join the Training Camp?"
The next moment.
A Casting Hammer hovered in mid-air, Elder Wang’s eyes glowing with Silver Radiance as it whistled through the Forging Room before shooting back into his hand.
"The strength of Spiritual Power lies in its ability to harm enemies from a distance and perform sharp mental scans."
"The former is easy to understand; the latter means a Spiritual Talent is like a humanoid radar, making it extremely hard to sneak up on them as they can clearly deduce your attack trajectory and intentions."
"If fighting head-on, a Spiritual Talent has the trump card of Spiritual Attack against Martial Artists who haven’t grasped Spiritual Power yet. Want to feel it?"
"Sure."
As Elder Wang’s eyes lit up, Su Mu suddenly experienced a ringing in his ears and a stabbing headache. His mind blanked out briefly.
To let Su Mu deeply experience the power of Spiritual Power, Elder Wang meticulously controlled the intensity of the Spiritual Shock. Even a Fifth Level Initial Stage Martial Artist would need two seconds to recover from such an impact.
Yet, in just one second, Su Mu regained his senses, now with a look of lingering fear, expressing his thoughts.
"Teacher, your Spiritual Power is indeed terrifying. I was momentarily confused and lost consciousness."
"In such a brief moment, it could be deadly in combat!"
Unbeknownst to him, his teacher, behind him, Wang Shuheng, was filled with shock. He muttered softly, as he stared intently at Su Mu.
"Su Mu... Something’s off with this kid!"
"Could the initial assessment have been wrong?!"
