High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 544 - 388: Shadow of Martial Arts, Birth of the Fire Shadow, An Unexpected Delight!_3

However, on second thought, Yuan Cheng was relieved. If such a matter could be handed over to the military, it would undoubtedly yield results faster. He shouldn’t be so selfish.

Soon, someone stepped out of the car.

This person looked extremely young, seemingly in his early twenties. He wore a military uniform, with a handsome and determined face, and eyes as bright as stars.

The high-ranking officials of South China Martial Arts University were all stunned in place upon seeing such a young person.

"That guy..."

In the front row, Yuan Cheng exclaimed in disbelief. This big figure from the Southern War Zone was strikingly similar to Wang Shuheng’s student in his memory, apart from having a younger appearance and demeanor, matching exactly with the image of Su Mu from his memory.

The same name, the same appearance, could there really be such a coincidence in the world?

Upon hearing Yuan Cheng’s exclamation, Principal Qian’s expression changed immediately and he hurriedly spoke up, while another person even raised a hand to try to cover Yuan Cheng’s mouth.

"Professor Yuan, please mind your words!"

"That’s right, Professor Yuan, you shouldn’t speak carelessly."

Then Gao Hai stepped down, his voice loud and clear.

"Principal Qian, esteemed professors, let me introduce you. This is our Southern War Zone General Star, Leader Su!"

The young man stepped forward, exuding no aura, yet no one dared to meet his gaze, as if those eyes could capture one’s soul.

At this moment, the young man smiled slightly at Yuan Cheng in the crowd, "Professor Yuan, six months no see, I hope all is well with you. I bring greetings from my teacher to you."

"What?!"

Yuan Cheng felt a tingling on his scalp, "You, you’re Wang Shuheng’s disciple?!"

The young man took another step forward, "Yes, I am Su Mu."

In an instant, Yuan Cheng’s whole body trembled, his mind blank. The prominent figure welcomed by the entire senior management of the school, and even by the provincial War Zone leader, was actually the Fourth Level Martial Artist who had saved him half a year ago?!

What had Su Mu experienced in the past six months?

Yuan Cheng initially planned to hand over his research results as cultivation resources to his old friend Wang Shuheng, allowing him to fully nurture Su Mu. Yet, in the blink of an eye, the young man had grown into a towering tree, reaching a realm he could only look up to.

Such a young General Star, reaching this level at such a young age in the Five Major War Zones, even if his research yielded results, it might not surpass this future.

How on earth did this guy cultivate?

"Everyone, I wish to have a private conversation with Professor Yuan."

At this moment, the school’s senior management suddenly came back to their senses. No one expected Yuan Cheng to have such a connection with such a prominent figure, and immediately Qian Wen responded hastily.

Watching the two walk into the Spirit Plant Academy, Qian Wen quietly conveyed a message to the person beside him.

"Old Zhou, I suggest we leave immediately to hold a meeting, and propose appointing Professor Yuan as the dean of the Spirit Plant Academy."

Inside a research room at the Spirit Plant Academy.

Yuan Cheng was still in shock at this moment, almost instinctively presenting his research achievements over the past period.

Su Mu, his mind divided into three thoughts, listened quietly, while actually comprehending the Natural Secret Technique taught by Thunder God.

"During the research process, we discovered an interesting thing. An unknown component extracted from the Spirit Fruit you gave me seemed to have an excellent effect on Body Tempering when fused with blood. Unfortunately, the side effects were too strong."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu paused in his steps, his eyes brightened. He had come to South China Martial Arts University with a high-profile to carry out his plan, but he did not expect such a pleasant surprise.

"Professor Yuan, I would like to know how significant this effect is?"

"My research team conducted injection experiments on twenty Fifth Level Fierce Beasts, and within a month, the experimental beasts showed tremendous progress in their flesh, with one even reaching the Grandmaster’s Body."

"And the side effects?"

"Lifespan deterioration... More precisely, the lifespan of the organs is depleted."
