Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System

Chapter 257: Wa Told Me to Pursue You


Looking at the prompt before him.

Su Tu knew that what he had just speculated was correct. At this moment, beyond the unknowable colors, there was a terrifying presence watching them.

Tide... has been discovered!!!

This was different from the previous two encounters with the Evil Gods.

This time, the system prompt not only had two pieces of information but also featured the unprecedented appearance of four exclamation marks.

According to Su Tu's understanding of the system, the more exclamation marks there were, the more terrifying the presence he was facing.

At this moment, it was as if even the system was in awe.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

In front of him, Lao San Luo, who had turned into a liquid, let out cries of sorrow and rage. It seemed he was trying to say something, but the moment he opened his mouth, all that came out were whimpers of terror and helplessness.

The sound was piercingly sharp.

The presence known as the Primordial, referred to as 'Beauty,' did not even do anything. It merely appeared, and everything became absurdly horrific.

Crash!!

The entire train was twisting, countless colors sweeping through its interior.

Su Tu couldn't describe what he was seeing, but he knew one thing...

That was, everything before him was art!!

All of it was so beautiful, so radiant, captivating, and alluring to the Heart and Spirit!!

All the world's beauty paled before this twisted train.

He could clearly perceive all of it, and at the same time, he sensed an unprecedented deathly shadow erupting at that moment.

"Damn it, my body is out of control!!"

"Do something, do something fast!!"

"If this continues, I will merge with everything here, I will become a part of it!!"

Su Tu furiously screamed in his Heart Thought.

His body was being tainted by countless colors. If these colors fully merged with Su Tu, he would remain here forever.

But for now, his consciousness and body seemed separated. No matter how he tried to move himself, he couldn't budge an inch.

"Give up the struggle; any living being before the Primordial is but a toy."

"Don't struggle; all efforts are futile."

"Stay, stay and become a part of Beauty!!"

Suddenly, Su Tu noticed voices surrounding him, coming from the complex colors around him.

They were once beings of the myriad realms, and now they had become His pigment, a part of constructing 'Beauty.'

They were persuading Su Tu to give up, wanting him to stay.

Listening to the voices around him, Su Tu felt as though invisible hands were trying to smooth out his soul, wanting him to stop struggling.

Within those voices lay a soothing power, so strong that even the firmest resolve could be rendered weak.

Yet, in the face of these comforting voices, Su Tu was not shaken in the slightest.

Even if he couldn't break free, even if his soul and flesh were separated, he still tirelessly tried to regain control of his body.

"Move!! Move now!!!"

His Heart and Spirit roared, trying to make his body move. If his soul and flesh were united, he could break this predicament!

"A futile effort. You have no right to act."

"Before the Primordial, your flesh can only become His possession."

"You cannot..."

"This!! How is this possible!!"

"How can he move!! It's impossible!!"

"How can a mere human act in His presence!!"

Suddenly, the persuasive voices were filled with disbelief, as if witnessing something unimaginable.

Just look, Su Tu's body quivered slightly at that moment.

This slight movement stunned those voices tremendously.

They had been trapped here for untold ages, had seen countless powerful beings, who were proud and defiant. Yet in the face of 'Beauty,' they could only become colors for His amusement.

Yet now, a deeply weak being shattered their understanding.

It was akin to a speck of dust shaking a towering mountain.

Su Tu's body shivered slightly, his fingers lifted, muscles trembled, and eyes widened. Amidst the countless awestruck colors, he abruptly stood straight.

In the instant soul and flesh united, Su Tu had not a moment of hesitation, directly summoning the hair strand in his Heart and Spirit.

"This is!!!"

"Oh my God!! How can her aura exist in this era!!"

"They should have all left, they should have all left!!"

The voices roared wildly.

The next moment!!

Buzz!!!

With the appearance of the hair strand, an invisible power rippled out, instantly erasing those eerie colors, and silencing those fragmented voices!!

Su Tu hadn't even activated the hair strand, merely summoning it had created this outcome.

"Damn!! Has He left..."

"What on earth is that entity to cause such horror with just a glance."

Cautiously, Su Tu looked around at everything. At that moment, the train returned to its prior state, even Lao San Luo quietly sat there, head lowered, looking at his watch,

The terrifying events from a moment ago seemed as if they had never happened, never appeared.

As if it was all an illusion.....

On Celestial City Star.

Several Examiners were anxiously waiting, occasionally checking the time.

"It shouldn't be, wasn't Elder Zhou's disciple supposed to be on 'Tide', it's been half an hour, they should have arrived?"

"Could it be Lao San Luo got the coordinates wrong?" an Examiner asked.

"That's unlikely, that guy Lao San Luo has a brain like an AI, it's impossible to mess up."

"So why haven't they arrived?"

"Surely nothing happened in Subspace." A military-green-clad Examiner remarked.

"Don't jinx it. Do you know who ordered the candidate named Su Tu as the Gatekeeper?"

"If anything happens to him, Celestial City Star will explode!" the bespectacled Examiner said nervously.

"I know, but this situation is hard to manage now; I thought after that order, the other Gatekeepers would behave."

"Didn't expect them to be even more excited now."

He spoke with a slight sense of frustration.

"Excited? Excited about what?" The bespectacled Examiner was a bit puzzled.

"How could they not be excited, he was assigned by that person; if they manage to beat him, it's like showing off directly up there."

"Alright, stop talking, there's spatial fluctuation, they're likely arriving."

.........

"We are about to arrive, get ready."

At this moment, Old Third Luo waved his hand, as if he was completely unaware of what had just happened. His expression remained normal, and he was staring intently at the watch on his wrist.

His eyes squinted, showing a hint of nervousness, as if afraid to miss something.

"When I tell you to seize the 'key', you must seize it immediately."

He cautioned with his speech.

However, Su Tu did not reply to him.

Instead, Su Tu's gaze became extremely cold and cautious as he looked at him.

"What kind of look is that? Hurry up and get ready, if you miss it, you'll have to wait again."

Old Third Luo's tone carried a sense of urgency.

Yet, what he received in return was still Su Tu's indifferent gaze and the fluttering strand of hair clenched in his left hand.

"Do you find it amusing?"

Su Tu stared at Old Third Luo, speaking each word distinctly.

Seeing this scene, Old Third Luo paused his actions.

Then, a very standard smile appeared on his face.

This smile carried an indescribable beauty, like a perfectly designed manuscript engraved on his face.

"How did you recognize me..."

"My construction should be indistinguishable from reality..."

Old Third Luo said, with a rhythm in his speech that was unspeakably lyrical.

Obviously, this was just ordinary dialogue, but when it came from his mouth, it was like an ethereal melody.

The next moment.

Glug, glug~

Everything around began to collapse, and Su Tu stood in void space, where an incredibly brilliant light appeared before him.

The light outlined a human silhouette, seemingly the embodiment of all the world's beauty. When people saw him for an instant, they would understand what perfection meant.

This term seemed to be created for this existence.

No matter the race or standard of beauty, upon seeing Him, one would see the most perfect of their kind in their cognition.

"How did you recognize me?"

He looked at Su Tu curiously, his eyes as splendid as the Star River, incomparably magnificent.

Indeed, He was right. Everything He constructed was undoubtedly real—every detail of the train, every break, every motion of Old Third Luo, every micro-expression was indistinguishable from reality.

Anyone in that scenario would regard all of it as reality.

But Su Tu noticed His identity immediately.

Or perhaps, it was difficult for Su Tu not to notice because...

[You are facing 'Beauty'!!!!!]

The system pop-up surrounded by a long string of exclamation marks appeared, making it impossible for Su Tu to ignore.

"If I say it's intuition, would you believe me?"

Su Tu cautiously looked at the presence before him.

To Su Tu's surprise, the person actually nodded.

"I believe."

"I believe everything you say."

He looked at Su Tu earnestly, with eyes seemingly carrying unspeakable emotions.

With a strand of hair clutched in Su Tu's hand, he could feel that with a single Heart Thought, he could unleash unimaginable power, even if it couldn't annihilate the incomprehensible presence before him.

But he could at least escape from Subspace.

Yet at this moment, as he looked at 'Beauty', he surprisingly felt an indescribable goodwill.

This was completely different from the script he had imagined.

"Who are you, what do you want...."

Su Tu tightened the strand of hair, asking in a low voice.

"I am Primordial, one of the earliest beings born in Subspace. I was once given a name by a being that aligns with the aesthetics of your civilization. You can call me Mo Mei."

The person looked at Su Tu, speaking earnestly.

"I bear no malice towards you, just got a bit excited earlier, which caused the ink to spill." Mo Mei explained.

Upon hearing these words, Su Tu's pupils slightly contracted.

The terrifying events that almost led to Su Tu's demise were merely 'Beauty' accidentally spilling ink.

How absurd, how powerful.

Like humans unintentionally spilling a cup of water, which for ants would be a catastrophe.

Su Tu's Heart and Spirit, his entire body strained to the limits, facing this utterly incomprehensible being, he could only maintain this state to stay calm.

"What do you want to do!!"

Suppressing all emotions, Su Tu asked again, then raised the strand of hair in his hand.

At this moment, only the strand from Wa could bring him some sense of security.

Sure enough, upon seeing that strand, Mo Mei retreated several steps, seemingly apprehensive about something.

"I am merely fulfilling a promise. I bear no malice. If I truly wanted to do something, you wouldn't have the chance to wield it."

Mo Mei's voice was neither gentle nor rough, it was gender-neutral.

Upon hearing these words, Su Tu nodded internally. Indeed, if such a presence harbored ill intent, he would not have the chance to act.

Mo Mei looked at the strand and spoke.

"At last, I've been waiting, thinking it would not come until the next era."

"Wa, here I am to fulfill the promise."

Upon hearing these words, Su Tu's eyes flickered.

The other party was not coming for him, but because of this strand.

"What promise do you have with... Wa Huang?"

At this moment, Su Tu had a flash of insight and asked.

Upon hearing this, Mo Mei looked straight at Su Tu's face, with eyes that seemed to appreciate a work of art, and carried a hint of expectation.

"I owe Wa a favor, so I agreed to one of her requests."

"When a being carrying her strand appears before me, I will...."

"Pursue that being...."

Mo Mei looked at Su Tu, with perfect features nearly making one's heart tremble, speaking words like the most beautiful love song in the world.

In the void, colors appeared at this moment, numerous pink hearts exploded.

Upon hearing these words, Su Tu froze completely, and the strand of hair he grasped nearly fell to the ground.

"What???"

...

Writer's block, writing all day, I want to die.
