Eight Gates Martial Arts, Perfected in a Day!

"Begin. Those who practice the Gale Sword Technique, step forward."

Zhang Su spoke slowly.

Consequently, four Jiang Family disciples stepped out.

"Fine, you'll do. Draw your sword."

Zhang Su pointed at the Jiang Family disciple in the front.

"Young Master Zhang, pardon my offense..."

With that, the opponent drew his sword in an instant, also unleashing the Gale Sword Technique.

Furthermore, the blood energy surged within his body; he was clearly at the fifth level of Blood Energy.

"Clang."

Zhang Su drew his sword as well.

However, he suppressed his own blood energy.

He suppressed his blood energy to the same fifth level and likewise unleashed the Gale Sword Technique.

"Cling, clang, clatter."

The Gale Sword Technique consisted of thirty-six sword moves, but it had only one core: speed!

And for Zhang Su, fast swordsmanship was something he was all too familiar with.

Therefore, Zhang Su reached the Great Success stage of the Gale Sword Technique almost as soon as he started.

Both sides were using the Great Success stage of the Gale Sword Technique, engaging in a frantic contest.

Ten moves, twenty moves, thirty moves...

After a mere thirty moves, the speed of the longsword in Zhang Su's hand surged instantly.

The thirty-six sword moves blurred into a single entity.

From afar, it seemed as though nothing remained but an impenetrable curtain of sword light.

"Puchi."

The Lengshuang Sword sliced through the opponent's arm.

Immediately, the opponent staggered back a few steps, his face turning deathly pale.

"The Gale Sword Technique has reached Perfection..."

Jiang Cheng stared fixedly at Zhang Su.

He simply could not believe his eyes.

How long had it been?

In just thirty moves, Zhang Su's Gale Sword Technique had reached Perfection.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he never would have believed it.

Yet, this was the truth.

This scene was also witnessed by the elders of the Jiang Family.

Suddenly, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

"What, it reached Perfection just like that?"

"It's truly unbelievable..."

"What did Zhang Su just do? Didn't he just suppress his cultivation and use the Gale Sword Technique to spar with a Jiang Family disciple? How did it reach Perfection?"

Many people could not understand it.

But they were deeply shocked.

Even those well-informed Jiang Family elders had their eyes wide open, unable to recover from their stupor for a long time.

However, to Zhang Su, this was nothing out of the ordinary.

The eight martial arts he had chosen all had a compatibility rate of over 90%.

With such compatibility, practicing them was like receiving divine assistance, progressing by leaps and bounds.

As long as one could seize the opportunity, one could reach Perfection.

Never mind ordinary martial arts; even superior or top-tier martial arts were the same.

Moreover, the Gale Sword Technique was a "fast sword" style.

Zhang Su himself possessed a profound mastery of "fast swords."

Under these circumstances, it was no surprise that the Gale Sword Technique reached Perfection at such a rapid pace.

"Another point of compatibility gained."

Zhang Su felt very satisfied.

However, he did not stop, instead saying, "Next..."

Zhang Su began to use his second martial art to spar with the Jiang Family disciples.

Yet, this time, they sparred for a long while without him being able to seize the right opportunity.

But it did not matter; Zhang Su continued to call out, "Two more people, come! You can even have three people use the same martial art to surround and attack me!"

Consequently, two more Jiang Family disciples stepped forward.

The three of them unleashed the same martial art together to besiege Zhang Su.

Under this pressure, Zhang Su's comprehension of the martial art truly accelerated by a few notches.

Very quickly, the second martial art reached perfection.

Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth...

This continued until dusk.

Finally, all eight martial arts were perfected!

"Hoo..."

Zhang Su let out a long sigh of relief.

Immediately, Zhang Su sheathed his sword.

"Many thanks, Brother Jiang, many thanks, Patriarch, and many thanks to all the Jiang Family elders! I never expected to be able to perfect all eight martial arts so quickly. I shall not disturb you any further; farewell!"

Zhang Su cupped his hands and bowed to the Jiang Family members to show his gratitude.

Then, he turned and left the Jiang Family.

As for the Jiang Family members, they seemed to have become "numb."

They remained dazed for a long time.

It was not until Zhang Su had already disappeared from the training grounds.

One of the elders, his voice seemingly trembling, slowly spoke, "Is this the true genius of the Guiyuan Sect? Even Wei Yunzhou back in the day, I fear, could not have achieved this..."

The crowd fell silent.

Eight martial arts, perfected in a single day!

How absurd was this?

Yet, it was the truth.

In this world, there truly existed someone with such terrifying talent for martial arts.

"Good, the marriage alliance is good! Patriarch, you did the right thing; our Jiang Family must marry into the Zhang Family!"

One elder suddenly shouted aloud.

The other elders also came to their senses one after another.

Previously, they had not agreed with the Patriarch's decision.

But after witnessing such a "monstrous" side of Zhang Su with their own eyes, how could they still oppose it?

Eight martial arts, perfected in a single day!

They dared not even think about it.

They completely dared not think about it!

Even just recalling it, they felt deeply shocked!

At the first light of dawn, Zhang Su opened his eyes.

A night of bitter cultivation.

The amount of his Blood Qi had already reached two hundred and twenty-four strands!

However, the number of Blood Replenishing Pills was down to only four.

They could support him for one more day.

However, Zhang Su was already prepared to return to the mountain.

Zhang Su checked his panel.

Host: Zhang Su

Cultivation: Ninth Layer of the Blood Qi Realm

Compatibility: 10

This trip down the mountain, Zhang Su had gained a full harvest.

Not only did he gain a total of ten thousand taels of silver.

Moving forward, the Su Family would also provide five thousand taels of silver every month.

Even his compatibility had reached ten points.

"It's time to return to the mountain..."

Zhang Su stood up immediately.

He arrived at the front hall and saw his eldest brother, his sister-in-law, and his little sister.

"Second brother, are you preparing to return to the mountain?"

Seeing the bundle on Zhang Su's back, Zhang Chen asked.

"Yes, I've been down the mountain for so long; it's time to go back. When little sister's wedding day arrives, you can send me a letter, and I will definitely rush back then."

Zhang Su looked at his little sister Zhang Lingyi and said with a smile.

"Second brother..."

Zhang Lingyi was somewhat reluctant to see Zhang Su go.

"Alright, it's good to go back early. However, second brother, if you return to the mountain, you must be careful of Wei Yunzhou..."

His eldest brother warned him with a grave expression.

"I understand."

"Eldest brother, sister-in-law, little sister, and Uncle Guan, take care!"

After saying this, Zhang Su turned and left immediately.

"Second brother, if things don't go well on the mountain, then come back down..."

Zhang Chen's words echoed through the front hall.

It was unknown whether Zhang Su had heard them, as he had already vanished rapidly from everyone's sight.

Watching Zhang Su's disappearing back, Zhang Chen murmured in a low voice: "A year ago, I never imagined that second brother could reach this point in the Guiyuan Sect. But the more dazzling he becomes, the more I worry."

"Among those martial artists who dominate the pugilistic world, how many actually meet a good end..."

Su Zhenzhen walked over and gripped Zhang Chen's hand tightly.

"Husband, second brother is no ordinary person. Even the Jiang Family is scrambling to marry into the Zhang Family—isn't that just to establish a connection with second brother?"

"Let us just wait for good news from second brother. I believe that second brother will definitely become an Inner Sect disciple of the Guiyuan Sect, and he will be in no way inferior to Wei Yunzhou!"

"His departure now is the start of a journey of ten thousand miles; his future is bright and promising..."

Su Zhenzhen, on the contrary, had great confidence in Zhang Su.

Zhang Su, dressed in a white robe, rode the Little Red Horse and galloped all the way.

He finally returned to the Guiyuan Sect before dusk.

"Finally back..."

Looking at the mountain gate of the Guiyuan Sect, Zhang Su let out a sigh of relief.

Only after having been out in the pugilistic world did he realize how fortunate it was to stay in the Guiyuan Sect.

In the pugilistic world, countless martial artists would exhaust every means and fight to the death just for a single top-tier martial art.

But what about in the Guiyuan Sect?

Not to mention top-tier martial arts, even peerless martial arts were placed on bookshelves, free for anyone to choose.

There were even elders who would occasionally impart their martial experience.

It was equivalent to being taught hand-in-hand.

Such a good thing was something one wouldn't even dare to dream of in the pugilistic world.

Zhang Su returned the Little Red Horse.

He even patted the Little Red Horse's head to comfort it.

Afterward, Zhang Su walked toward his living quarters in the Outer Sect area.

"So quiet?"

Zhang Su saw that the gate outside the courtyard was tightly shut.

There was no movement inside either.

Could it be that Chu Dachuan and the others had all gone out?

Zhang Su then pushed open the courtyard gate and walked inside.

Just as he stepped into the room, Zhang Su smelled a mixed scent of blood and medicinal herbs permeating the air.

"Hmm?"

"You all... are injured?"

Zhang Su's pupils constricted.

He saw that Du Tian, Zhao Feng, and Chu Dachuan were all actually in the room.

However, the three of them were deathly pale, and almost everyone was wounded.
