High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 86: Complete Secret of Power, Martial Saint Secret Technique

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Complete Secret of Power, Martial Saint Secret Technique
Purple figure?
Su Mu was slightly taken aback, his heart trembled. This figure was very different. The previous shadows only showed a formidable aura when launching attacks.
But this purple figure emitted a terrifying pressure even before fully forming, making one feel suffocated.
Vaguely, it reminded Su Mu of the Grandmaster Li Yue from before.
Is this a Grandmaster level shadow?
Or perhaps even more terrifying!
Realizing this, Su Mu’s heart pounded like a war drum, boiling his blood entirely. He knew being able to pass the sixth virtual shadow was already incredibly difficult.
He had nearly reached his limit, thus he held no hope from the beginning for passing the seventh shadow.
Without hope, there was no burden.
At this moment, Su Mu’s gaze remained resolute.
"Come on."
"Let me see what you’re made of!"
Whoosh.
The condensed blood in his heart was fully ignited.
Standing before an almost invincible opponent, Su Mu fought with increasing bravery, with no hesitation, he began pouring all his sword momentum and Qi and blood into the Red Sun Saber.
Fully activated, the Red Sun Saber was incomparably sharp, exuding invisible sharpness.
In the next moment, the Extreme Shadow Body Technique was unleashed.
Su Mu stepped forward, instantly covering over twenty meters, and slashed out the Surging Waves Saber Technique that he practiced over a million times.
Surging Waves Saber Technique First Form: Riding the Wind.
Surging Waves Saber Technique Second Form: Breaking Waves.
At this time, the purple shadow fully formed, and when it placed its hand on the hilt and drew the blade, Su Mu felt his breath halt. The surrounding air suddenly froze completely, exerting immense pressure on his body.
A moment later.
The first saber, as the vanguard, quickly vanished, and the second saber, although it exerted force, couldn’t entirely break the oppression. The gap between them was terrifying, and these two strikes only allowed Su Mu to breathe a little easier.
After two sabers, Su Mu’s momentum reached its peak. This time, Su Mu left no regrets and also unleashed the secret technique he just acquired.
Surging Waves Saber Technique Third Form: Overturning River!
Su Mu roared out, slashing his life’s most powerful saber.
The direction of the blade, invisible restraints retreated. The Red Sun Saber’s peak closed the distance to within a foot of the purple shadow, but it was a chasm of a gap.
Su Mu didn’t feel regret because that was the limit of his strength.
He only felt exhilarated.
Then, peacefully waited to exit the Tower World.
However, death did not come. A hoarse voice emerged, "Little one, your three strikes were not bad."
Who is speaking?!
Su Mu shivered, his gaze fell on the purple shadow. "Is it you?"
The figure lightly nodded, sheathing its blade, the shadow had never drawn its blade from beginning to end, it just placed its hand on the hilt.
"Little one, stay and chat with me."
...
"What just happened, why did it suddenly end?"
"I just defeated the first shadow, why is it over?"
"Same here."
In the Tower of Power, people on the stone pillar woke up one after another, confusion and puzzlement appeared on their faces after waking up.
Soon they witnessed an incredible scene.
"Purple? Wasn’t it blue before?"
"Why is his light pillar different from ours, shouldn’t they be the same?"
A purple light pillar is usually only triggered by a complete ancient tower, representing the core legacy of the ancient tower.
Previously, if someone told Shi Hao and Xu Zhi that a ruined ancient tower’s purple light pillar was triggered, they would have sneered, thinking that person ignorant.
But the incredible scene unfolded before their eyes, and they had to believe it.
Shi Hao and Xu Zhi exchanged glances, suddenly feeling overwhelmed, the reawakening of others clearly related to Su Mu on the central stone pillar.
They speculated that because Su Mu triggered the core legacy of the ancient tower, it resulted in the ancient tower expelling others from the Tower World.
"You all leave first, there will be other decisions made after this matter," Shi Hao took a deep breath, stabilizing the situation first.
Upon hearing Shi Hao’s words, the others dumbfoundedly looked at Su Mu, who was enveloped in purple light, then many exited the Tower of Power in shock, and a few were secretly delighted.
They thought Captain Shi Hao would surely arrange for them to enter the Tower of Power again for comprehension, giving them more experience than others, perhaps allowing them to go further.
...
"Little one, what year is it today?"
"Martial Arts 1018, since the revival of Spiritual Qi and the mutation of fierce beasts, humanity’s first Martial Artist was born marking the Year of Martial Arts."
The purple shadow remained silent for several seconds upon hearing this.
"Why do you seek to grow stronger?"
"To live a better life, to ensure my family no longer suffers, to protect my friends and relatives, and for me to live freely in this world, I want to see how far I can go!"
The purple shadow raised its head slightly and asked again.
"How strong do you think is considered powerful?"
"A Grandmaster, a Great Grandmaster, or even a Martial Saint at the pinnacle of human martial artists!"
"I’d love to chat with you a bit more... but unfortunately, I don’t have much time left. Little one, thank you for chatting with me. Finally, I’ll give you a small gift; I hope you’ll achieve your wishes."
The purple shadow began to dissipate, finally turning into a bright, dazzling purple light. With the appearance of this point of purple light, rumble, rumble, rumble.
The entire Tower World underwent a great upheaval; centered on the galaxy under Su Mu’s feet, it rippled outwards, becoming utterly dim and lightless in an instant.
Crack.
Space fractured and plunged into darkness, as if the end of the Tower World was meant to welcome the birth of this purple entity.
A moment later, the purple light orb drifted between Su Mu’s eyebrows.
"This is a complete secret technique... the Secret of Power?!"
...
"Not good, is the Tower of Power about to collapse?"
Shi Hao and Xu Zhi’s expressions changed drastically when they noticed the internal space of the Tower of Power was constantly shaking, with a continuous cracking sound echoing, much like the signs of spatial collapse.
"We can’t wait any longer, or else..."
At a critical moment, the figure bleeding from seven orifices on the Central Stone Pillar finally opened its eyes. These eyes were bloodshot but filled with rapture and desolation.
"Su Mu, hurry, get out of the Tower of Power."
"Alright."
Su Mu was alarmed; although he didn’t quite understand what was happening, he saw that the internal space of the Tower of Power was indeed collapsing.
Immediately, the three of them exited the Tower of Power.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
An astonishing scene unfolded.
Under everyone’s gaze, the weathered and dilapidated Tower of Power collapsed with a boom, raising a sky full of yellow sand, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"The Tower of Power is going to collapse?!"
...
The once sturdy three Ancient Towers in Gaoshan City, expected to hold for years, had become a swan song.
Now that one of the three towers had collapsed, only the Ruined Towers of Speed and Spirit were left.
Once the yellow sand dispersed and the dust settled.
Shi Hao and Xu Zhi gazed at the collapsed Tower of Power, speechless with grief for a long while.
The two examiners felt such sorrow, and others witnessed the scene with even more shock.
Su Mu watched the Ancient Tower collapse, sensing a faint sadness, vaguely realizing it was due to him.
After coming to his senses, Shi Hao took a look at Su Mu, who was pale with blood-red eyes, and took a deep breath.
"Su Mu, congratulations, you should go back first now."
"Alright, excuse me, Captain Shi Hao, Captain Xu Zhi."
He had Su Mu leave first because Shi Hao sensed something was off with Su Mu’s condition, and he also needed some space, temporarily not wishing to see Su Mu; otherwise, Shi Hao feared he couldn’t control himself and would no longer maintain calmness.
After Su Mu left, Xu Zhi first couldn’t hold it in.
"Su Mu is really too much of a troublemaker, too abnormal, first with the three puppets in the first round of the exam, now he’s single-handedly done away with the Tower of Power."
"The Tower of Power... can’t really blame Su Mu." Shi Hao said in a deep voice.
"What should we do next?"
Shi Hao fell completely silent.
...
On the way, Su Mu had a headache.
After returning to the dormitory, Su Mu finally let out a long breath and couldn’t help revealing a trace of ecstasy; the gain this time was immense.
Previously, he thought the complete secret technique was actually only the first level of the secret technique!
After chatting briefly with the purple shadow in the tower, the purple shadow bestowed the complete Secret of Power upon him as a gift, but currently, he cannot see the entire secret technique.
The purple shadow set a seal when bestowing the Secret of Power, which can only be unlocked when the first level is fully mastered to access the cultivation technique of the next level.
"The complete Secret of Power has nine levels; each level is a new world."
"Mastering the first level of the Secret of Power provides a twofold increase in strength."
"With the enlightenment from the instilled power of the previous shadows, I have successfully entered the first-level realm. Next, I just need to keep practicing, fully grasp it, and then I can obtain the second level cultivation technique!"
Su Mu couldn’t help but speculate that the purple shadow was the master of the Tower of Power, someone who perhaps was once at the Martial Saint Level.
"If so, the Secret of Power might be a Martial Saint Level secret technique!"
Thinking of this, Su Mu’s eyes sparkled with light, his breathing incredibly intense; this gain surpassed Su Mu’s expectations, as he didn’t hold out much hope of defeating the Seventh Floor.
Once his tense spirit relaxed, the backlash from using Future Sight four times in a row overwhelmed him like a flood, causing Su Mu to black out, the world spinning as he fell into unconsciousness.
At this moment, Su Mu didn’t know; after this battle, his reputation was thoroughly established.
The disgrace of the Talented Martial Artist was now history, and Rule Breaker Su Mu was formally born.
