Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System

Chapter 162: Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage


Residual shadows scattered, the Observing the Micro level Void Jump can increase one's speed by about thirty percent, and it doesn't consume much Qi, making it Su Tu's favorite way to travel.

However, as his understanding of the Void Jump deepens, he always feels this technique is incomplete.

It's not to say that the Void Jump has any flaws or loopholes, but many of its Qi flow trajectories and body techniques seem like basic moves.

As if laying a foundation for a more advanced technique.

Of course, these are just Su Tu's own insights, without any substantial evidence.

His speed is very fast, in just an instant, he already swept over two great mountains, Exotic Beasts are still very scarce, it seems they will only break free in large numbers when the ruins fully open.

Not far away, a figure came into view, and that person was waving madly at Su Tu.

"I say, won't you wait for me!"

The person was Chang Sheng, yelling loudly at Su Tu.

However, Su Tu didn't stop at all, and the speed of his Residual Shadow escape increased by a few notches, his real body constantly interweaving with the residual shadow, flashing past Chang Sheng in an instant.

"Use me and then discard me, huh!!"

"Too heartless, Su Tu!!"

Chang Sheng roared angrily.

From the beginning of preparing the 'Strongest Worker Plan', Su Tu had already shaken off Chang Sheng, convinced that this plan only made sense to himself.

So, on the morning of the second day after Su Tu got the Residual Army, he left before Chang Sheng woke up.

And the miserable Chang Sheng, compelled by his teacher's orders, frantically started searching for Su Tu, his method was simple, Su Tu was out to kill Wang Gao, so he chased after Wang Gao, and finally today, he saw Su Tu's shadow.

But damn...

"Damn insignificant True Monarch!! And one of the Celestial Pride List candidates!"

"Just like that, directly killed by Su Tu??"

"Now great, I can't find him, oh teacher, oh teacher, how can the successor of the Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage be so easy to follow!"

"You're just making things difficult for people!"

First, Chang Sheng cursed Wang Gao, then he propped his chin, muttering speechlessly.

Su Tu's Heart and Spirit are beyond extraordinary, and he also controls unknown terrifying Divine Techniques, even if he had special tracking methods, he couldn't locate Su Tu's true position.

Just when he was downcast, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"What is the Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage?"

The voice was neither loud nor quiet, but it startled Chang Sheng to nearly jump.

But even if he wanted to jump, he couldn't because Su Tu's hand had quietly settled on his shoulder.

Although the grip wasn't firm yet, Chang Sheng knew what terrifying strength this hand held.

Su Tu hadn't really left all along, Chang Sheng was following him, and he too was following Chang Sheng, wanting to know the true purpose of the other.

His relationship with Instructor Zi Shu was such that if they dispatched a student to protect him, there must be some hidden reasons.

Besides arranging the Tiger Talisman, another reason for his departure was to see what trick Chang Sheng was up to.

Until just now, the four words 'Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage' from the other aroused Su Tu's interest.

"Well, I was wondering why my right eyelid kept twitching today, turns out something was going to happen."

Chang Sheng's tone was very helpless.

"I really want to tell you what the Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage is."

"But..."

"Our love just hit the brakes.."

"Love you walking alone in the dark..."

Chang Sheng looked at Su Tu, and suddenly started singing a strange song, as if out of control.

"Cognitive Seal!!"

Su Tu recognized the method used on the other instantly upon seeing Chang Sheng's state.

"Yes, I can't tell you any information about those four words."

"I can only say we are not your enemies, but your most formidable assistance, however, there are some things we can't tell you right now."

"At least, I don't have the qualifications to tell you."

Chang Sheng's current status resembled a student caught playing truant in an internet cafe, thoroughly giving up, with a totally unconcerned expression.

"My assistance?"

Upon hearing this, Su Tu's mind began to work rapidly.

"My parents are seldom on Ancestor Star, they know about the Martial Arts Dao but didn't tell me, according to the web novel tropes I read in my previous life..."

"Could they be some kind of dominators of a powerful faction, leaving me on Ancestor Star to train??"

"Isn't that too cliché of a plot twist!"

In Chang Sheng's words, he referred to 'we', indicating there's more than one person, at least including Instructor Zi Shu, who is a mentor from an academy beyond the Star River.

They are my assistance, but I've never heard of them, which could only mean the help comes from my parents' side.

Thinking of this, Su Tu couldn't help but speak up.

"My father..."

However, as soon as Su Tu spoke the first two words, Chang Sheng denied it.

"No! Absolutely unrelated, your father is an excellent exploratory scientist, and we're grateful for all he's done for the Federation, but his Martial Arts Cultivation... well, he's a scientist, you understand."

"As for your mother, her purpose for practicing Martial Arts is entirely because it preserves youth."

"By the way! Don't get me wrong, I didn't deliberately investigate you, all students' family information was submitted when enrolling in the Training Camp."

Upon hearing Chang Sheng's words, Su Tu quietly rubbed his fingers, feeling a little embarrassed, almost considering himself an heir of noble lineage.

But if the reason isn't his parents.

Then there's only one possibility left.

"Teacher..." Su Tu spoke softly.

Immediately, Chang Sheng waved his hands frantically: "I didn't say anything, didn't say anything at all, this is all your own conjecture!"

Su Tu immediately understood.

"Something from the teacher's side..."

Su Tu lowered his eyebrows, Zhou Wuliang was his Martial Arts mentor, the guide to his Martial Arts path, very good to him, the person he respects the most.

If it's matters from the teacher's side, the kindness of receiving, to be returned at any cost!

Whatever it is, Su Tu accepted!

"It seems, Zhou Lao hasn't revealed everything to Su Tu yet, but indeed, he is a worthy successor!"

"The realm of the Heart and Spirit, Martial Arts Cultivation, and combat techniques are the most terrifying entities I've ever seen!"

"With him inheriting the Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage, we in the branch families should also come forth!"

Chang Sheng was also scrutinizing Su Tu, his eyes shining brightly.

Little did he know, all of this was due to Zi Shu's excessive overthinking causing a misunderstanding.

After learning from Chang Sheng that he was a person of Zhou Lao, Su Tu's guard against him lowered somewhat. The previous words that Chang Sheng said were not a lie.

As for why Su Tu knew Chang Sheng wasn't lying....

"Damn it!! How come more than half of my Power of the Heart and Spirit has evaporated out of nowhere!!" Chang Sheng's expression suddenly changed.

"Are you experiencing this too? I've often encountered this situation in recent days."

Su Tu said with a serious and earnest tone.

One cannot avoid consuming much, as targets in [mistaken connection] will collectively share the consumption of the Heart and Spirit, hence the depletion of this skill.

"The Immortal Ruins are indeed mysteriously unusual..."

Chang Sheng exclaimed.

Although Su Tu was not as guarded against Chang Sheng anymore, he still had two Fragmented Army Tiger Talismans that hadn't found suitable places to be placed, acting with Chang Sheng would obviously be inconvenient.

Therefore, he still chose to leave on his own, but this time Chang Sheng no longer searched for Su Tu, according to his statement.

"You can fight better than me, what am I even protecting you for? Originally, the teacher wanted me to observe your character and conduct, but now that you know my identity, what's the point of my assessment?"

The two then parted ways.

With books, one's knowledge grows; without them, it diminishes.

In the past few days, Su Tu sent out the last two Fragmented Army Tiger Talismans and on the way, slaughtered many Exotic Beasts, as his goal was very clear: to gain skill proficiency while obtaining the first position's Tier Seven Technique.

As for the Tiger Talisman that caused turmoil among the entire Immortal Ruins...

If he wanted, he could carve one out from any random tree right now.

Su Tu was now sitting atop a mountain peak, and beside him was a beast resembling a goat, which had been completely skewered by a large tree, stripped of its fur, and made into an oversized roasted whole lamb (skewered version).

[You have completed a piece of Exotic Beast BBQ, Culinary Skill Level +100]

[Culinary Skill: 1900/2000]

After days of cooking, the Culinary Skill almost reached an advanced level.

"Just a little more and I will be able to refine the Five Mansions and crystallize Immortal Power."

Su Tu continued to rotate the lamb skewer, feeling the changes within himself. His understanding of the Body Character Celestial Technique had grown increasingly profound, and the Golden Light originally enveloping his body surface had gradually gathered inward.

The light began nourishing his organs, and once his organs fully transformed into the Five Mansions, he could officially refine Immortal Power and cultivate Ancient Skills.

"My initial premonition was indeed correct; this Training Camp is truly a blessing for me!"

From entering the Training Camp to now, Su Tu's strength more than doubled.

"Balance of work and rest, let's watch a grand play~"

He ceased to contemplate further, instead tearing off a piece of lamb and eating it, then, with interest, looking towards a nearby mountain peak.

On the peak, a young man was surrounded by a group of Martial Artists, his body stained with blood, face pale, and eyes vigilant.

"Qi Hua! Hand over the Fragmented Army Tiger Talisman, we'll spare your life!!"

"Otherwise, I know you, but my fists don't!"

The leading Martial Artist spoke, while the others eyed him fiercely, their greed unhidden.

"Haha!! Want to steal my treasure? You're dreaming!" Qi Hua sneered, pulling out an entirely black Tiger Talisman from his bosom.

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on the talisman, eyes ablaze with intensity.

This is the Fragmented Army Tiger Talisman, a legendary treasure rumored to house ancient War Souls!

Recent rumors regarding the Fragmented Army Battle Soul have become increasingly exaggerated, it's said that gathering all the Tiger Talismans can not only summon War Souls above a Daoist Master.

The talismans themselves are tokens from a Supreme Deity, and whoever collects them all will have a chance to glimpse the Supreme Commander!

"Qi Hua, hand over the Tiger Talisman, and I can spare you. You're a fully enlightened talent, nearly unlocking the first body seal, becoming a Celestial Pride; dying here is senseless!"

The leading Martial Artist spoke greedily.

"Death!! Indeed, someone will die, not only me but also you all!"

"Invincible Commander! Bestow the descent of the Fragmented Army, I will offer all of my Heart and Spirit as a sacrifice!!"

"Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!!"

Qi Hua roared furiously, his Power of the Heart and Spirit recklessly surged into the Fragmented Army Tiger Talisman, almost instantaneously draining all his Heart and Spirit power, along with his True Spirit merging into the talisman.

Everyone was stunned, never expecting Qi Hua to be so fierce, actually sacrificing his True Spirit to awaken the Fragmented Army.

Though they originally hadn't planned to spare Qi Hua anyway.

"Wow, time to get to work~"

Su Tu sensed waves of Heart and Spirit power flowing into the true Tiger Talisman.

along with the Martial Artist's True Spirit transforming into the final nourishment, embedding into the Fragmented Army.

These days, he was the first Martial Artist to summon the Fragmented Army at the cost of life, initially his Heart and Spirit power couldn't awaken much of the Fragmented Army, but...

"Let's consider it a commercial promotion."

All capital formation requires spending some initial costs on advertising.

Then...

Whoosh~

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

A sky-obscuring, earth-shattering gust blew, and amidst the Martial Artists' incredulous gazes, a tattered battle flag suddenly appeared atop the mountain.

Then the Fragmented Army Tiger Talisman exploded with a terrifying aura of battle intent and murderous intent.

As if in an instant, drawing the whole world into an ancient and savage battlefield!

Silhouettes clad in blood-stained battle armor silently appeared before everyone's eyes.

Cold voices echoed, reminiscent of clashing blades, chilling them to the bone....

"By the order of the Tiger Talisman, fight!!"

Boom, boom, boom!!

With this command, silhouettes launched into action; the Martial Artist's Heart and Spirit could only enable these Fragmented Army to exert about five percent of their strength.

But that was enough, before the Fragmented Army, those Martial Artists were like straw in a paddy field, unable to resist at all.

"Oh my!! This is the War Soul!"

"Even Qi Hua's feeble Heart and Spirit can summon such powerful War Souls, if I did it, if my family's elders did it!!"

One after another, Martial Artists were battered, retreating backward, but eying the Tiger Talisman Qi Hua still grasped in his dying grip, the desire in their eyes consumed all.
