Eight Martial Skills, Perfected in a Single Day!

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

Zhang Su spoke slowly.

Four Jiang Family disciples stepped forward.

"Fine, you. Draw your sword."

Zhang Su pointed at the foremost Jiang Family disciple.

"Young Master Zhang, excuse me..."

The other party instantly drew his sword, using the Gale Sword Technique as well.

Moreover, Blood Qi surged through his body. He was clearly at the Blood Qi Realm Fifth Layer.

Clang.

Zhang Su drew his sword as well.

However, he suppressed his own Blood Qi.

He suppressed his Blood Qi to the same Blood Qi Realm Fifth Layer and likewise used the Gale Sword Technique.

Clang, clang, clang.

The Gale Sword Technique had thirty-six sword forms, but its core was only one thing: speed!

And swift swords were far too familiar to Zhang Su.

Thus, Zhang Su had almost reached the Major Accomplishment Realm with the Gale Sword Technique the moment he picked it up.

Both sides wielded the Gale Sword Technique at the Major Accomplishment Realm, fiercely competing against each other.

Ten moves, twenty moves, thirty moves...

After merely thirty moves, the speed of Zhang Su's longsword suddenly surged.

The thirty-six sword forms linked together as one.

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

Sshk.

The Lengshuang Sword sliced through the other party's arm.

The other party immediately staggered back several steps, his face turning deathly pale.

"The Gale Sword Technique is perfected..."

Jiang Cheng stared fixedly at Zhang Su.

He simply could not believe his eyes.

How long had it been?

In merely thirty moves, Zhang Su's Gale Sword Technique had reached the Perfected Realm.

If he had not witnessed it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

But that was the truth.

The Jiang Family Clan Elders witnessed this scene as well.

The crowd instantly erupted into an uproar.

"What? It's perfected already?"

"This is truly unbelievable..."

"What did Zhang Su just do? He merely suppressed his Cultivation Base and competed with a Jiang Family disciple using the Gale Sword Technique. How did it suddenly reach the Perfected Realm?"

Many people could not understand it.

But they were deeply shaken.

Even the well-traveled Jiang Family Clan Elders had their eyes wide open, unable to regain their senses for a long while.

However, to Zhang Su, this was nothing unusual.

The eight martial skills he had selected all had Compatibility Rates above ninety percent.

With such a Compatibility Rate, cultivation was like receiving divine aid, advancing a thousand miles in a single day.

As long as he could seize the right opportunity, he could cultivate them to the Perfected Realm.

Not to mention ordinary martial skills—even superior martial skills or top-tier martial skills were no exception.

Moreover, the Gale Sword Technique was a "swift sword."

Zhang Su himself already possessed considerable attainments in swift swords.

Under such circumstances, it was hardly strange for the Gale Sword Technique to reach the Perfected Realm at the fastest speed.

"I gained another Compatibility Point."

Zhang Su was very satisfied inwardly.

However, he did not stop. Instead, he said, "Next..."

Zhang Su began using the second martial skill to compete against the Jiang Family disciples.

However, this time, they competed for a long while without him managing to seize the opportunity.

But it did not matter. Zhang Su continued, "Two more of you, come out. Three of you may use the same martial skill to besiege me!"

Two more Jiang Family disciples stepped forward.

The three of them used the same martial skill together to besiege Zhang Su.

Under such pressure, Zhang Su's comprehension of the martial skill indeed accelerated by several degrees.

Very soon, the second martial skill reached the Perfected Realm.

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

Until dusk arrived.

At last, all eight martial skills had reached the Perfected Realm!

"Whew..."

Zhang Su let out a long sigh of relief.

He then sheathed his sword.

"Many thanks, Brother Jiang. Many thanks, Family Head. Many thanks to all the Jiang Family Clan Elders! I never expected to perfect all eight martial skills so quickly. I shall not disturb you any longer. Farewell!"

Zhang Su clasped his fists toward the Jiang Family members in thanks.

He then turned and left the Jiang Family.

The Jiang Family members, meanwhile, seemed to have gone numb.

For a long while, none of them recovered their senses.

Not until Zhang Su had vanished from the Martial Arts Arena.

One of the Clan Elders slowly spoke, his voice seeming to tremble. "Is this the true genius of the Guiyuan Sect? Even Wei Yunzhou back then probably could not have done this..."

Everyone fell silent.

Eight martial skills, perfected in a single day!

How absurd was that?

Yet it was the truth.

There truly were people in this world with such terrifying talent in martial skills.

"Good, this marriage alliance is good! Family Head, you made the right decision. Our Jiang Family must form a marriage alliance with the Zhang Family!"

One Clan Elder suddenly shouted loudly.

The other Clan Elders also came to their senses one after another.

Previously, they had not approved of the Family Head's decision.

But after witnessing Zhang Su's monstrous side with their own eyes, how could they still object?

Eight martial skills, perfected in a single day!

They did not dare imagine it.

They truly did not dare imagine it!

Even merely recalling it left them deeply shaken!

At first light, Zhang Su opened his eyes.

He had cultivated bitterly through the night.

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

However, only four Blood Replenishing Pills remained.

They could support him for one more day.

But Zhang Su was already preparing to return to the mountain.

Zhang Su checked the System Panel.

Host: Zhang Su

Cultivation Base: Blood Qi Realm Ninth Layer

Compatibility Points: 10

This trip down the mountain had brought Zhang Su a bountiful harvest.

Not only had he gained a total of ten thousand taels of silver.

The Su Family would also give him five thousand taels of silver every month from now on.

Even his Compatibility Points had reached ten.

"It is time to return to the mountain..."

Zhang Su immediately rose.

He arrived at the main hall and saw his elder brother, sister-in-law, and younger sister.

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

Seeing Zhang Su carrying a bundle, Zhang Chen spoke up.

"Yes. I have been down the mountain for so long; it is time to return. On the day Little Sister gets married, you can send me a letter. I will definitely hurry back then."

Zhang Su looked at his younger sister, Zhang Lingyi, and spoke with a smile.

"Second Brother..."

Zhang Lingyi was somewhat reluctant to part with Zhang Su.

"Good. It is good to return early. But Second Brother, if you return to the mountain, you must be careful of Wei Yunzhou..."

His elder brother warned him with a solemn expression.

"I understand."

"Elder Brother, Sister-in-law, Little Sister, and Uncle Guan, take care!"

After speaking, Zhang Su immediately turned and left.

"Second Brother, if things do not go well on the mountain, then come down the mountain..."

Zhang Chen's words echoed through the main hall.

No one knew whether Zhang Su had heard them, for he had already swiftly vanished from everyone's sight.

Looking at Zhang Su's disappearing back, Zhang Chen muttered softly, "A year ago, I never imagined that Second Brother could reach his current position in the Guiyuan Sect. But the more dazzling he becomes, the more worried I am."

"Among those martial artists who command the winds and clouds in the martial world, how many ever meet a good end..."

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

"Husband, Second Brother is no ordinary person. Even the Jiang Family is rushing to form a marriage alliance with the Zhang Family—is it not all to establish ties with Second Brother?"

"Let us wait patiently for Second Brother's good news. I believe he will definitely become an Inner Sect disciple of the Guiyuan Sect and will be no less than Wei Yunzhou!"

"Once he goes, he will soar ten thousand miles like a great roc, with a future bright as brocade..."

Su Zhenzhen instead had great faith in Zhang Su.

Dressed in white, Zhang Su rode Little Red Horse and galloped all the way.

At last, he returned to the Guiyuan Sect before dusk.

"I'm finally back..."

Looking at the Guiyuan Sect's mountain gate, Zhang Su felt relieved.

Only after taking a trip through the martial world did he realize how fortunate it was to remain in the Guiyuan Sect.

For the sake of a single top-tier martial art, countless martial artists in the martial world would exhaust every scheme and fight to the death.

But what about in the Guiyuan Sect?

Not to mention top-tier martial arts—even peerless martial arts were placed on bookshelves for him to choose from.

Some elders would even occasionally impart their experience with martial skills.

It was equivalent to teaching him hand in hand.

Such a good thing was something one could not even dream of in the martial world.

Zhang Su returned Little Red Horse.

He even patted Little Red Horse on the head in comfort.

Afterward, Zhang Su headed toward his residence in the Outer Sect area.

"So quiet?"

Zhang Su saw that the courtyard gate was tightly shut.

There was no movement inside either.

Could Chu Dachuan and the others have gone out?

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

The moment he entered the house, Zhang Su smelled a mixture of blood and medicinal fragrance lingering in the air.

"Hm?"

"You... are injured?"

Zhang Su's pupils contracted.

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

However, all three were pale-faced, and nearly every one of them was wounded.
