Chapter 291: Chapter 142: Unity of Inner and Outer, Peak of Gang Force

Chen Hai was utterly shocked.

His Gang Force was only Third-Grade, but it was still an Upper Third-Grade Gang Power, so its Defense Power wasn’t weak.

Among the Named Disciples of Wanxiang Peak, the quality of his Gang Force was already considered quite strong.

But before Zhang Su, his Gang Force shattered with a single poke.

He hadn’t even drawn his sword.

The battle was over before it even began.

A bitter smile appeared on Chen Hai’s face.

He released his grip on the hilt of his sword, cupped his fists, and said, "I have lost..."

After speaking, he turned and left, seemingly unwilling to stay a moment longer.

’How humiliating.’

He had lost without even drawing his sword.

’It’s utterly disgraceful.’

Zhang Su sheathed his sword without another word and walked back into Cultivation Room Number 18.

The stone door closed behind him, and silence returned to the Cultivation Room.

Zhang Su sat back down on the cattail mat and resumed his Cultivation.

To him, this battle wasn’t worth mentioning.

Chen Hai was even weaker than Song Yan, just a Martial Artist with Third-Grade Gang Force.

He couldn’t even be bothered to waste his energy, ending it directly with a single sword strike.

The next day, another challenger arrived.

This time, it was a Martial Artist from Spirit Ruins Peak. He was in his thirties, with a dark complexion and a burly frame, and he wielded a Heavy Sword.

"Ma Kun of Spirit Ruins Peak."

"Zhang Su of Mixed Element Peak."

Ma Kun’s Gang Force was also Third-Grade, but it was slightly stronger than Chen Hai’s. Moreover, his Swordsmanship followed a fierce and powerful style. His slashes carried a whistling wind and possessed considerable might.

Unfortunately, he was facing Zhang Su.

Zhang Su gave him no opportunity to display his skills.

One strike—the Fast Sword Form—pierced his wrist.

Ma Kun’s Heavy Sword flew from his grasp and, with a CLANG, fell to the ground, leaving a shallow dent.

Ma Kun stared at his now-empty right hand, stunned.

He glanced down at the Heavy Sword on the ground, then looked back up at Zhang Su. In the end, he said nothing, bent down to pick up his sword, and turned to leave.

On the third day, a Martial Artist who used a long spear came. He was a Named Disciple from Tongxuan Peak.

His Spear Technique was swift. With a single thrust, the tip of his spear trembled, creating seven or eight spear-tip blurs that made it difficult to distinguish the real from the illusory.

But before Zhang Su’s sword, his spear was still too slow.

Zhang Su’s sword shattered his spear-tip blurs, and the tip of the blade came to rest on his shoulder.

The fight was over.

The fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day...

Zhang Su stayed in Cultivation Room Number 18 for a total of eight days.

During that time, a total of six Gang Force Martial Artists came to challenge him.

Without exception, he defeated them all with a single sword strike.

It made no difference what kind of Gang Force they had—Third-Grade or Second-Grade—before Zhang Su’s Fast Sword Form, it was all the same.

One strike was enough!

From these challengers, Zhang Su was able to discern a few things.

Among the Named Disciples, those who could cultivate an Upper Third-Grade Gang Power were already extremely rare. They were definitely considered the cream of the crop.

Of the six challengers, most had Third-Grade Gang Force. Only one had Second-Grade Gang Force.

As for First-Grade Gang Force, Zhang Su hadn’t seen any in the past few days.

This was normal.

First-Grade Gang Force was too rare. Once such a person advanced to the Postnatal Realm, they could directly become an Official Disciple.

Who would still come to the Five Elements Valley?

’There probably aren’t many Named Disciples with First-Grade Gang Force among the Upper Sect Nine Peaks,’ Zhang Su calculated in his mind.

Starting yesterday, Zhang Su noticed that no one had come to challenge him.

This morning had passed, and still, no one challenged him.

’Is my luck just that good?’

Zhang Su thought for a moment, then shook his head.

’It’s probably not luck.’

Although there were many Cultivation Rooms in the Lower Three Layers of the Five Elements Valley, there were far too many disciples who wanted to cultivate there. Every single room was highly sought after.

Even though the effect of the first-layer Cultivation Rooms was the worst, for a Gang Force Martial Artist, just having a room in the Five Elements Valley was already a great thing.

For the past few days, someone had challenged him every day.

But now, suddenly, no one was coming.

Zhang Su had a rough guess as to why.

Most likely, people had seen him defeat six opponents in a row and recognized his formidable strength. He had probably earned a bit of a "reputation."

Those who might have wanted to challenge him felt they had no chance of winning, so they were unwilling to try.

But whatever the reason, Zhang Su was happy for the peace and quiet.

With no one to disturb him, he could finally focus on his Cultivation.

On this day, Zhang Su did not circulate the Great Five Elements Divine Technique.

He was cultivating the Infinite Divine Technique.

Because the Infinite Divine Technique was just a hair’s breadth away from Perfection.

Zhang Su could clearly feel his Pure Yang Gang Power circulating more and more smoothly within his body.

He didn’t know how long he had been cultivating, but he could sense a subtle change occurring within his Gang Force.

An unknown amount of time passed.

VMMMM.

Zhang Su felt a tremor run through his entire body.

In that instant, the Pure Yang Gang Power inside him seemed to break through some kind of shackle, circulating at an incredible speed.

The Gang Force instantly covered every corner of his body.

At the same time, his Pure Yang Gang Power became incomparably smooth, as if it had become a part of his own body.

With a single thought.

The Gang Force could appear anywhere inside his body at will.

It could even be locally strengthened.

Zhang Su immediately understood this state of perfect control, as natural as moving his own limbs.

He had finally reached the last stage of Gang Force.

Unity of Inner and Outer!

The Outer Gang protects the body’s surface, the Inner Gang protects the viscera. With the Unity of Inner and Outer, the Gang Force permeates the entire body, leaving no weaknesses.

This was the Peak of Gang Force!

Zhang Su took a deep breath, a smile spreading across his face.

He immediately checked his status panel.
