Chapter 543 - 388: Shadow of Martial Arts, Birth of the Fire Shadow, An Unexpected Delight!_2
Thinking of this, Su Mu looked at the red humanoid figure before him.
"It’s not appropriate to refer to it as the Martial Saint Illusion after Desolate Thought and Martial Saint Illusion have fused."
"From today onwards, you shall be the second Secret Technique created by me, Su Mu, named Shadow of Martial Arts."
The first Secret Technique is Golden Essence Armor. As for Immortal Cells, Martial Arts Gate, Martial God Wheel, and Martial God State, Su Mu believes they do not fall within the category of Secret Techniques.
"Bearing my Rule of Fire, from now on, you shall be... Fire Shadow."
Su Mu smiled, feeling quite satisfied with the name Fire Shadow, and admired it with a glance before waving his hand to retract Desolate Thought.
Fire Shadow’s form shook before transforming into a blaze and merging into Su Mu’s brow, whereupon a flame pattern emerged on Su Mu’s right hand.
The next second, a mini Fire Shadow appeared in Su Mu’s Sea of Consciousness, where he nurtured it to enhance its power.
"A decent Secret Technique, quite suitable for me... Sima Jingshu, you’ve indeed gifted me a grand present."
...
Taicang Station, one of Zhejiang Province’s transport hub stations.
A sudden commotion broke out among the passengers waiting on the platform.
Several military jeeps drove straight onto the platform, paving the way for a Huaxia-branded sedan adorned with two small red flags.
"What’s going on?"
"Never thought I’d see something like this. Isn’t this a high-speed train station? How can they drive directly onto the platform?"
The crowd was buzzing with discussions.
"You don’t understand. How could you compare with these individuals? It’s said that at a certain level, they can drive cars to the platform to pick people up. This is a military vehicle; seeing such a scene indicates a significant military figure has arrived!"
"Is there really something like this?"
"Incredible. Our family is from the Imperial Capital, and over the decades, we’ve only seen this once in the Imperial Capital. That time, it was a vice president of the Huaxia National Martial Arts Association. I wonder which major figure it is today?"
Amidst the chatter, a burly man with dark skin, wearing a military uniform, stepped down from the sedan. As soon as he got out, he exuded a formidable presence, his eyes sharp and determined. Though there was no disturbance in Qi and blood, the nearby crowd felt their breathing become slightly rushed and showed expressions of respect.
Those watching from the platform immediately became as agitated as boiling water, and those with some understanding of the war zones appeared shocked.
What sort of person would be personally welcomed by such a figure?
Under the gaze of the crowd, the train arrived; even passengers on the opposite platform looked over eagerly, perhaps the closest they’ll get to such a significant figure in their lifetime.
Finally, the train doors opened, and passengers stepping off were astonished by the grand scene.
An elderly man stepped off the train, immediately catching the attention of the burly man who promptly walked out, and the crowd watched intently in the direction he moved; the elderly man had gray hair.
"Could it be him?"
"What is the identity of this elderly man that the Zhejiang Province war zone would personally welcome?"
Instantly, the passengers held their breath.
However...
Next, a young woman emerged from the train, quickly pulled the elderly man, saying, "Grandpa, let’s hurry, let’s go."
The burly man’s steps did not falter.
Everyone kept their eyes fixed on the burly man’s silhouette.
Then they saw a casual sneaker stepping out of the business class compartment, lightly landing on the platform, followed by a figure exuding a lazy aura, dressed in casual wear, much like a foreign tourist.
This person was over 1.9 meters tall, with skin as fair as jade, conspicuous upon appearance, with a tall and sturdy build.
"Is it him?"
"How could it be him? He’s so young, and look at his skin..."
Before the words could settle.
"Leader Su!"
A booming, powerful voice silenced all the noise, as the burly man flickered with Spiritual Light, respectfully holding a green military coat as he approached the laid-back man, offering it with both hands.
Leader Su!
The Zhejiang Province war zone leader offered a coat!
In an instant, the crowd fell silent, their hearts stirred by shock and awe.
"Gao Hai of the Zhejiang Province war zone presents himself before the South China War Zone’s Leader Su!"
Su Mu scanned the crowd calmly.
"Let’s go."
"Yes, Leader."
The war zone personnel followed Su Mu, holding the military coat, only leaving after escorting Su Mu into the car, acting much like the guards seen beside leaders in TV dramas.
Outside the platform, the convoy sent by South China Martial Arts University awaited long.
Soon, the convoy arrived at South China Martial Arts University, stopping outside the Spirit Plant Academy.
At this moment, a group of senior officials from South China Martial Arts University gathered, including Yuan Cheng who was both anxious and respectful.
Ever since returning from Linjiang Base, he had been deeply immersed in research. Just yesterday, the senior officials of the school, or rather, the president of South China Martial Arts University, Qian Wen, had personally approached him.
"A leader named Su Mu from the Southern General War Zone has specifically requested to visit me?"
"Su Mu?"
"Isn’t this the disciple that the headmaster took in?"
"No, it must be a coincidence; when we parted last time, it was only half a year ago, and the headmaster’s disciple was merely a Fourth Level Martial Artist then. It couldn’t possibly be the leader."
"It must be someone with the same name."
"But why seek me? Could the research information have leaked?"
Thinking of this, Yuan Cheng felt complicated; once the research bore fruit, it could secure a legacy for him, and with results almost in sight, the military came. Yuan Cheng felt a certain reluctance.
