Jiang Family Armory, Ten Thousand Volumes of Books!

Zhang Su strolled through the Jiang Family Armory.

The armory was completely deserted.

However, Zhang Su could vaguely sense hidden gazes watching him.

This was to be expected.

As the foundation of the Jiang Family, this armory was certainly guarded by someone.

Zhang Su did not mind; he took a rough look at these martial arts manuals.

It was not much different from what he had guessed.

There were far more than ten thousand volumes of books.

In terms of quantity, it was sufficient.

However, compared to the Scripture Pavilion of the Guiyuan Sect, the quality was far inferior.

Zhang Su flipped through them casually.

Most of them were ordinary martial arts techniques.

The number of superior martial arts techniques was relatively small.

Not to mention top-tier martial arts techniques, which were practically the core heritage of the Jiang Family.

However, Zhang Su's goal was not any superior or top-tier martial arts.

To be honest, he did not even look down upon these martial arts of the Jiang Family.

In the Guiyuan Sect, he could even choose peerless martial arts at will.

The Jiang Family's meager martial arts were not worth mentioning.

Zhang Su's goal was martial arts with a compatibility rate of over 90%.

It did not matter if they were ordinary or superior techniques.

He was merely doing this to "grind" his compatibility value.

Thus, Zhang Su immediately began to browse through various martial arts.

With ten thousand volumes of books, he might be flipping through them for a long time.

But Zhang Su enjoyed the process.

It was just like searching for "treasure," filling him with anticipation.

Jiang Family, Council Hall.

Jiang Lingchuan and Jiang Cheng were both in the Council Hall.

Besides the two of them, there were other core members of the Jiang Family present.

At this moment, everyone wore a solemn expression.

The atmosphere inside the Council Hall was also very tense.

"Patriarch, are we really going to pin our hopes on Zhang Su? I have also looked into Zhang Su carefully. Although his combat power is extremely strong, he was already over the age limit when he entered the Guiyuan Sect. In the Guiyuan Sect, being over the age limit means limited potential. It is very difficult to become an Inner Sect disciple!"

"If we say that marrying into the Su Family is to utilize the Su Family's financial resources, then marrying into the Zhang Family is solely for the sake of Zhang Su? I still feel it is too rash."

"Moreover, we even opened the Jiang Family Armory to Zhang Su. That is the foundation of our Jiang Family for hundreds of years..."

Inside the Council Hall, many Jiang Family elders and other core members voiced their differing opinions.

Most of them were against Jiang Cheng marrying into the Zhang Family.

"Swish."

Jiang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked at an elder and said in a deep voice, "You have no idea how terrifying Zhang Su's talent is. The sword technique he practices is a peerless sword technique, and it is suspected to be at the perfection stage!"

"If there is anyone in the future who can stand on equal footing with Wei Yunzhou, it can only be Zhang Su!"

"Boom."

Jiang Cheng's words caused a roar in the minds of many elders in the Council Hall.

"A peerless sword technique? And, suspected to be at perfection?"

The many elders looked at each other in dismay.

The Jiang Family was a martial arts family; they knew all too well what the four words "peerless sword technique" meant.

It meant that Zhang Su's talent in martial arts had reached an unimaginable level.

Wei Yunzhou had been the same back then.

"It is a pity that Zhang Su is over the age limit... If not for that, perhaps he could have been like Wei Yunzhou in the Guiyuan Sect, soaring to the skies the moment he entered the Inner Sect..."

The elders even felt a sense of regret.

"By the way, Zhang Su has been in the Armory for two days now, hasn't he?"

"That's right, it seems to be two days. He's been eating and sleeping right there in the Armory."

"Our Jiang Family Armory may have ten thousand volumes of books, but compared to the martial arts of the Guiyuan Sect, they're nothing, right? He's already mastered peerless martial arts, so why stay in the Armory for so long?"

The group looked at each other in confusion.

Naturally, they had no idea what Zhang Su was thinking.

"I'll go take a look."

Jiang Cheng stood up, left the Council Hall, and headed straight for the Armory.

At this moment, inside the Armory.

Zhang Su set down the final martial arts manual.

"Ten thousand volumes... they didn't disappoint me!"

"This time, I've harvested a full eight martial arts techniques with over 90% compatibility. And, they are basically all common martial arts!"

Zhang Su muttered to himself.

Actually, it was a good thing that they were all common martial arts.

For common martial arts with 90% compatibility, although one still needs to find the right opportunity to reach perfection, the difficulty is certainly much lower than that of superior martial arts.

Therefore, Zhang Su was confident that he could bring all eight of these common martial arts to perfection in a very short amount of time.

Zhang Su checked his own blood energy.

Now that two days had passed, his blood energy had increased by another sixteen strands.

It had already reached two hundred and sixteen strands.

However, he didn't have many Blood Replenishing Pills left—only eight remained, which would last him at most another two days.

"Two days left... if I account for the one day needed for travel, I can stay at the Jiang family for at most one more day."

"One day... perhaps that will be enough!"

A sharp glint flashed in Zhang Su's eyes.

Eight common martial arts, all with over 90% compatibility.

The only way for him to bring all eight to perfection within a single day was through combat.

There should be quite a few martial artists in the Jiang family who practice these techniques.

As long as Zhang Su could find the right opportunity during the fights, reaching perfection wouldn't be difficult at all.

With that, Zhang Su stood up and walked straight out of the Armory.

Outside the Armory, two servants saw Zhang Su emerge and immediately hurried over.

"Young Master Zhang, do you have any instructions?"

The servant asked.

"Take me to see Brother Jiang."

"Very well, please follow me, Young Master."

Thus, Zhang Su followed the two servants and found Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng was in the Martial Arts Arena practicing his swordsmanship.

Although he had been defeated by Zhang Su, Jiang Cheng had not lost heart and continued to practice his sword skills diligently.

"Brother Zhang, you've finally decided to come out. In these two days, did you gain anything?"

Jiang Cheng stopped and asked with a smile.

"I did gain something. I've taken a liking to eight martial arts techniques. I want to bring all eight to perfection, but I have to set off to return to the mountain tomorrow."

"Therefore, I'm afraid I'll need Brother Jiang's help."

"Help? Brother Zhang, just name your request."

"Right, I need the martial artists of the Jiang family who practice these techniques to spar with me, using only these specific techniques..."

Zhang Su stated his request.

The more Jiang Cheng listened, the more astonished he became.

Zhang Su meant to seize the opportunity during combat to bring all eight martial arts to perfection.

How could that be possible?

Even if these eight were merely common martial arts, wanting to perfect them all in a single day was nothing short of a pipe dream.

Even if one included the two days Zhang Su had spent in the Armory, that was still only three days in total.

Three days to master eight basic martial arts?

Even if Jiang Cheng overestimated the talent of Zhang Su, he did not believe that Zhang Su could succeed.

However, this was the request of Zhang Su, and the requirements were not actually that high.

Thus, Jiang Cheng agreed.

"Brother Zhang, please wait a moment. I will immediately arrange for someone to notify the Jiang Family disciples; anyone who has practiced these eight martial arts and reached the level of Great Success or higher should come to the Martial Arts Arena."

"Very well, then I will have to trouble you, Brother Jiang."

Zhang Su simply sat down on the Martial Arts Arena and waited quietly.

Before long, Jiang Family disciples arrived one after another.

Each of them was very curious.

They did not know why Jiang Cheng had summoned them.

"Brother Zhang, everyone is here. How do you think we should proceed?"

Jiang Cheng said in a low voice.

Zhang Su stood up immediately, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.

There were quite a few people here.

About thirty or forty of them.

This was normal, after all, those practicing these eight martial arts were all ordinary martial artists.

The requirements for talent were not high, so naturally, there were many people practicing them.

Zhang Su spoke up immediately: "I intend to cultivate eight basic martial arts, and I hope you can assist me in my training! You only need to perform the specific martial arts and attack me with all your might."

"If anyone can help me reach perfection in these martial arts, I am sure Brother Jiang will not be stingy with rewards."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted.

"That's right, as long as you can help Brother Zhang bring his martial arts to perfection, there will be heavy rewards!"

The words of Jiang Cheng made the hearts of these thirty or forty Jiang Family disciples burn with excitement.

However, they were even more surprised by the "feat" of Zhang Su.

"Did I hear that right? Zhang Su wants us to help him train so he can bring eight martial arts to perfection?"

"Eight martial arts to perfection in a single day, even if they are just basic martial arts, this is too incredible. How is that possible?"

"I heard that Zhang Su defeated Young Master Jiang Cheng with a single sword strike; his talent is unimaginably high."

"Then I must take a close look to see if anyone can really bring eight martial arts to perfection in a single day."

These Jiang Family disciples were all eager to give it a try.

Basically, none of them believed that Zhang Su could bring eight martial arts to perfection in one day.

This news spread rapidly.

Even Jiang Lingchuan and many Jiang Family elders rushed to the Martial Arts Arena.

"This is a good opportunity to observe exactly how high this boy's talent really is."

One of the Jiang Family elders remarked.

Consequently, dozens of gazes fell upon Zhang Su.
