Chapter 290: Chapter 142: Unity of Inner and Outer, Peak of Gang Force

Zhang Su walked into Cultivation Room 18.

The door to the Cultivation Room slowly closed behind him, instantly shutting out the noise from outside.

Zhang Su stood inside the Cultivation Room, his gaze sweeping across his surroundings.

The Cultivation Room was small, with only enough space for one person to cultivate.

Zhang Su immediately sat down on the meditation cushion.

The moment he sat down, he felt something unusual.

The four walls seemed to glow faintly, and the air was filled with a unique energy.

Zhang Su closed his eyes and began to circulate the Great Five Elements Divine Technique.

The Five Elements Internal Force within him was still very weak, consisting of just five thread-like strands.

But the moment he began circulating the Divine Technique, Zhang Su immediately felt a difference.

Cultivating the Great Five Elements Divine Technique in a normal environment was of limited efficiency.

But in this Cultivation Room, all he had to do was circulate the Divine Technique, and the speed at which his Five Elements Internal Force improved was significantly faster.

Zhang Su carefully gauged his cultivation progress and made a silent calculation.

’If I keep cultivating in Cultivation Room 18, what would have taken a year to bring the Great Five Elements Divine Technique to Perfection will now only take about ten months.’

’That’s already incredibly fast.’

’And this is just the First Layer, the one with the poorest results in Five Elements Valley.’

’If I could get to the Second Layer, or even the Third Layer, would the effects be even more astonishing?’

He felt a stir of anticipation but didn’t rush to act.

’I should first secure my footing on the First Layer and build a solid foundation for the Great Five Elements Divine Technique. It won’t be too late to challenge my way up once I’m stronger.’

Without further thought, Zhang Su closed his eyes and resumed his Cultivation.

However, Zhang Su wasn’t just cultivating the Great Five Elements Divine Technique.

He also had the Infinite Divine Technique.

He had already cultivated the Infinite Divine Technique to the stage of Great Success, and was just one step away from Perfection.

Naturally, Zhang Su had no intention of abandoning it.

Thus, while Zhang Su spent most of his time on the Great Five Elements Divine Technique, he still set aside some time for the Infinite Divine Technique.

Time trickled by.

Zhang Su was immersed in his Cultivation, having forgotten everything about the outside world.

After an unknown amount of time, he faintly heard a soft noise, as if something had been placed at his door.

Zhang Su opened his eyes, stood up, and walked over to the stone door.

He saw a slot at the bottom of the stone door containing a food box. He could faintly smell the aroma of a meal.

A smile touched Zhang Su’s lips.

It was the food Luo Feng had sent.

After all, he was only at the Gang Force Realm, still a long way from being able to practice Fasting.

It was said that only an Innate Grandmaster could Fast for several days at a time.

Whether one was at the Gang Force or Postnatal Realm, they still had to eat.

According to the rules of Five Elements Valley, disciples inside the Cultivation Rooms couldn’t come and go as they pleased, but outsiders could deliver food boxes through the slot at the base of the stone door.

The Deacon Council handled all deliveries, ensuring the disciples inside the Cultivation Rooms were not disturbed.

Luo Feng was very thoughtful.

The portions were generous and the food was still warm—he had clearly timed the delivery perfectly.

And every meal was different.

Luo Feng went out of his way to prepare a variety of meals for Zhang Su, ensuring he wouldn’t be distracted by such trivialities.

After eating, he placed the bowl and chopsticks back in the slot. Someone would come to collect them shortly.

Zhang Su returned to the meditation cushion and resumed his Cultivation.

HUMMM.

Suddenly, the Cultivation Room trembled slightly.

Zhang Su opened his eyes.

He saw that the Jade Token on the stone door had turned red.

This meant that his Cultivation Room was now open to challenges from other disciples.

Such were the rules of Five Elements Valley.

After a disciple occupied a Cultivation Room for more than a day, the Jade Token would turn red, and anyone could issue a challenge for it.

Someone could come to challenge him at any moment.

Zhang Su resumed his Cultivation, but he kept a portion of his attention on the situation outside in Five Elements Valley.

A mere two hours later, Zhang Su heard a booming voice from outside.

"Occupant of Cultivation Room 18 on the First Layer, come out and fight!"

Zhang Su opened his eyes, his expression placid.

’So, someone has come after all.’

He rose, stepped out of the Cultivation Room, and entered the open grounds of Five Elements Valley.

Zhang Su’s gaze fell on the man standing opposite him.

He was a young Martial Artist, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed in a gray robe. He was clearly also a Named Disciple.

His features were plain, but his eyes were bright and his gaze sharp. He, too, was sizing up Zhang Su.

"Zhang Su of Mixed Element Peak."

"Chen Hai of Wanxiang Peak."

Having exchanged names, they said no more.

Chen Hai used a saber.

His saber wasn’t long, only about two feet, with a slightly curved blade whose edge glinted with a cold light.

Zhang Su’s hand also rested on the hilt of his Shadow-Stealing Sword.

SHING.

Zhang Su drew his sword.

He drew his sword with astonishing speed.

In that instant, a silver flash of light streaked through the air, aimed straight for Chen Hai’s right arm.

It was the Guiyi Swordsmanship Fast Sword Form!

The essence of the Thirty-Six Swift Swords, fused into a single strike. Its speed was simply unbelievable.

All Chen Hai saw was a blur before the flash of the sword was upon him.

He was startled and instinctively reached to draw his saber and block.

But his hand had only just closed around the hilt. Before he could even draw the blade, the cold point of the sword pricked his arm.

SHLICK.

The tip of the blade pierced Chen Hai’s sleeve, leaving a shallow gash on his arm.

Blood seeped from the wound, staining his gray sleeve red.

Chen Hai’s Gang Force was like paper; it couldn’t block Zhang Su’s sword at all.

’Such a fast sword... and so powerful. My Third-Grade Gang Force couldn’t block it at all...’
