High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 550 - 391: Martial Arts Imprint, the Path to the Saint Realm!

The attack from the red-haired woman was just right, giving Su Mu enough time and opportunity to think.

"The Martial Arts Golden Body is actually very important, but the Thunder God merely glossed over it," he thought.

"But of course, my acquaintance with the Thunder God is not deep. It’s already good that he hasn’t dug any pitfalls. Perhaps, in his eyes, I’m just an annoying guy."

"However, the Thunder God did not deceive me. He just didn’t complete the key information. To step onto the Path of Origin and condense an Origin World, mastering the Power of Origin Rules is necessary, but it’s not the only requirement."

"In addition, the Martial Arts Golden Body is also needed!"

"The Path of Origin and Origin World are actually extensions of the Power of Origin Rules and the Martial Arts Golden Body!"

"That’s why the Thunder God is so strong, because every strike of his is the fusion of the Martial Arts Golden Body above the Fifth Forging and the Power of Origin Rules!"

In the Martial God State, Su Mu’s mind became clearer. Every move of the red-haired woman seamlessly combined Qi and Blood, Strength, Martial Momentum, and all other forces, like a single force.

This is actually the application and extension of the Martial Arts Golden Body.

Su Mu’s thoughts raced as he recalled the moves of Marshal Yue and Marshal Qian. They once teamed up to attack him when they mistakenly thought he was a Half-Saint Fierce Beast, and at that time, they both used the Martial Arts Golden Body.

This was not due to Marshal Yue and Marshal Qian’s insufficient use of the Golden Body, but rather because, back then, he himself was also using the Martial Arts Golden Body to deal with the massive Fierce Beast, which was more appropriate.

In that situation, even if the two did not go all out, they certainly wouldn’t have held back, which shows the importance of the Martial Arts Golden Body.

Moreover, Su Mu recalled that he used a similar approach when fighting the Thunder God.

Thinking back once more to his encounter with the Thunder God, his eyes shone even brighter.

"Marshal Yue, Marshal Qian, and even this woman have clearly taken a step beyond the Titled Grandmaster, their strength incomparable to ordinary Titled Grandmasters, yet they are not truly Half-Saints."

"The Thunder God once said, if not for Heaven and Earth’s Imperfection, he would have already reached the Saint Realm."

"In this light, for a martial artist to step onto the Path of the Grandmaster, they need to fuse Qi and Blood, Spiritual Power, and Martial Momentum into one, forge the Martial Arts Golden Body, and then touch upon the Power of Rules."

"The difference between an Eighth Level Grandmaster and a Ninth Level Martial Saint, in essence, is repeating this process. The Martial Arts Golden Body and the Power of Rules are equally crucial."

"But this time, it’s a transformation, an elevation. The key to the Martial Arts Golden Body is the martial artist’s Spiritual Power, as is the comprehension of the Power of Origin Rules."

"The martial artist’s Spiritual Power is the Martial Arts Will. To step into the Saint Realm, one may need to condense their own mark during the continuous training of the Martial Arts Golden Body, which could be called the Martial Arts Mark.

After that, merge the Martial Arts Mark with the transformed Power of Origin Rules.

The two become one, perhaps this is the so-called Path of Origin and Origin World."

Thinking of this, a bright light burst forth from the deep eyes of Su Mu.

"Both Marshal Yue, Marshal Qian, and this woman have already condensed part of the mark and grasped some Power of Origin Rules. If Heaven and Earth were complete..."

"The three of them might already be Half-Saints, with a chance to achieve the Saint Realm in this lifetime."

"Yet, with Heaven and Earth’s Imperfection, they can’t even achieve Half-Saint. Only the Thunder God has broken through the shackles of this imperfect world, which is why his strength is so astounding."

At this moment, Su Mu also understood why the Thunder God was unwilling to leave that Great River. Perhaps that is the key for the Thunder God to break through the shackles.

Under the Great River, there might be some secret capable of breaking the shackles.

Bang!

Su Mu’s thoughts were interrupted, but all these thoughts actually occurred in a split second, as his body’s protective Immortal Power and the Grandmaster’s Force Field were blasted apart by the red-haired woman.

Then the woman’s terrifying five fingers tore through the Golden Light, landing on the physical training suit made of special material, which in her hands was as fragile as paper, ultimately landing on Su Mu’s neck.

Scraaape.

The five fingers merely slid over his neck, yet it emitted the sound of metal clashing, sparks flying everywhere.

"I thought the Phantom Demon fell at the hands of the Southern War Zone’s Dark Department. Now it seems, he probably underestimated you and met his end at your hands..."

"Who would have thought, the Southern War Zone, no, the Huaxia Military Department hides so deeply, harboring such a young talent touching Half-Saint rank."

The woman’s expression changed, her body flickering and retreating several kilometers away.

Su Mu wiped away the blood on his neck. As golden light flowed, the cut blood vessels and flesh healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Are you the backup plan of the Dark Demon Society?"

"If this is all the strength you have, then stay here tonight, just like the subordinate you mentioned, and remain in Huaxia forever."

The red-haired woman laughed softly at his words.

"Now you have the right to know my name. Listen well, I am the Second Column Demon, the Beast Demon Fenrir."

"Kid, are you interested in joining the Dark Demon Society?"

Su Mu was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised by the invitation, but he shook his head, "I’m not interested in accepting an invitation from a dead person."

"Arrogant kid," the woman sneered at Su Mu, "I’ve given you a chance, but since you refuse... then die!"

"You should be honored because you will be the first person in nearly ten years to see my true form."

As her words fell, an indescribable terrifying aura spread from the woman, more accurately, from the wolf-head pattern on her forehead.

The red-haired woman’s already terrifying aura began to surge dramatically, intensifying like a volcano erupting from the seabed.

Her figure also began to undergo astonishing changes.

Her form elongated like a shadow, rapidly enlarging. With a tearing sound, her clothes ripped, as if breaking through some limitation. The human body was breached, flesh writhing and swelling.

A terrifying wolf howl echoed throughout the Qinling Mountains.
