Chapter 292: Chapter 142: Unity of Inner and Outer, Peak of Gang Force

Great Five Elements Divine Skill: Compatibility 100% (entry-level)

Guiyi Swordsmanship Fast Sword Form: 36 Swordsmanships (Divine Intent)

Guiyi Swordsmanship Heavy Sword Form: 21 Swordsmanships (Divine Intent)

Outer Extreme Divine Technique: Compatibility 100% (Perfection)

Inner Extreme Divine Technique: Compatibility 100% (Perfection)

Infinite Divine Technique: Compatibility 100% (Perfection)

Compatibility Value: 80

Just as he expected, the Infinite Divine Technique had reached Perfection.

His Cultivation had also officially reached the Peak of Gang Force, the Unity of Inner and Outer!

"The Peak of Gang Force..."

Zhang Su murmured to himself.

At this stage, other Martial Artists would have to polish their Gang Force, then strive to generate Inner Strength and break through to the Postnatal Realm.

From the Peak of Gang Force to the Postnatal Realm seemed like just one step, but it was a step that stumped countless Martial Artists.

Some could never generate Inner Strength in their entire lives, forced to waste away their years at the Peak of Gang Force.

Others might luckily generate Inner Strength, but its quality would be low, their potential exhausted, leaving them unable to advance another inch.

But Zhang Su was different.

He practiced the Pure Yang Nine Combinations Divine Skill.

This Cultivation Technique was different from others. It only required the Nine Unification to directly generate Inner Strength and advance to the Postnatal Realm.

This was the most miraculous aspect of this Cultivation Technique.

If he wanted to, he could perform the Nine Unification right now, instantly generate Inner Strength, and ascend to the Postnatal Realm.

But Zhang Su had no intention of doing so.

He was still cultivating the Great Five Elements Divine Skill and wanted to use the "Melt Gang Technique" to improve the quality of his Gang Force.

His Pure Yang Gang Power was only a Third-Grade Gang Force, and he wanted a First-Grade Gang Force.

If he performed the Nine Unification now, his Inner Strength for the rest of his life would be born from a Third-Grade Gang Force. His potential would be limited, and his hope of becoming a Direct Disciple would be slim.

Therefore, he had to wait a little longer for the Nine Unification.

Zhang Su sat cross-legged on the rush mat, planning his next steps.

’The First Layer of the Five Elements Valley is effective, but it can’t compare to the Second or Third Layers... Now that my Gang Force has achieved the Unity of Inner and Outer, my strength has soared. And my Guiyi Swordsmanship seems even stronger than I thought.’

’Perhaps I can try challenging the Martial Artists on the Second Layer...’

A thought surfaced in Zhang Su’s mind.

He had spent eight days on the First Layer. Although his progress with the Great Five Elements Divine Skill was much faster than outside, it was still far from Perfection.

The Great Five Elements Divine Skill required ten months to reach Perfection, which Zhang Su still felt was too long.

If he could fight his way to the Second or even the Third Layer, the cultivation effects would be better, and the time needed for the Great Five Elements Divine Skill to reach Perfection could be further reduced.

Taking the time to sharpen the axe wouldn’t delay the woodcutting!

If he could get to the Second and Third Layers, there was no need to stay on the First.

However, Zhang Su was well aware that if he challenged the Second or even Third Layer, he would most likely have to fight a Postnatal Realm Martial Artist.

Most of the Cultivation Rooms on the Second Layer were occupied by Postnatal Realm Martial Artists.

While there were some Gang Force Martial Artists, they were few and far between. He didn’t think he’d be lucky enough to challenge one.

But Zhang Su was not afraid.

’With my current strength, my Guiyi Swordsmanship has both the Fast Sword Form and the Heavy Sword Form. I also have the burst from my Hundredfold Pill Force, plus the enhancement from my Martial Sense... I might just be able to take on those Postnatal Realm Martial Artists!’

A sharp glint flashed in Zhang Su’s eyes.

The Postnatal Realm Martial Artists on the Second and Third Layers weren’t necessarily Official Disciples.

Many of them were also Named Disciples.

Their Gang Force wasn’t Upper Third-Grade Gang Power. Although they were lucky enough to break through to the Postnatal Realm, they couldn’t become Official Disciples. They could only continuously improve their Cultivation and study Martial Techniques to increase their combat power.

Such Postnatal Realm Martial Artists might be very strong, but relatively speaking, they would be slightly easier to deal with than the Official Disciples.

As for the Official Disciples, they had mostly gone to the Middle Three Layers. Only a very small number remained in the Lower Three Layers.

Thinking of this, Zhang Su no longer hesitated.

He stood up and stretched his muscles.

Then, he walked up to the stone door and placed his hand on it.

The stone door slowly opened.

Zhang Su walked out of Cultivation Room Number 18 and into the open ground of the Five Elements Valley.

Sunlight streamed down from above the valley, making him squint slightly.

After spending eight days in the dim Cultivation Room, it took him a moment to adjust.

He stood in the open area, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings.

People were coming and going in the Five Elements Valley, same as it had been eight days ago.

"Huh? Isn’t that the Martial Artist from Cultivation Room Number 18? Why did he come out on his own? Does he want to go to the Second Layer?"

A sharp-eyed disciple spotted Zhang Su and said in surprise.

His voice wasn’t loud, but a few people nearby heard him and turned their gazes toward Zhang Su.

"It’s possible. That Martial Artist from Cultivation Room Number 18 has been incredibly dominant. He’s defeated basically every challenger with a single sword strike. His strength is terrifying."

Another disciple added.

He had clearly been paying attention to Zhang Su’s previous battles.

"But what if he challenges someone on the Second Layer and runs into a Postnatal Realm Martial Artist? Wouldn’t the loss outweigh the gain?"

"Yeah, the gap between the Gang Force and Postnatal Realms is too big. If he runs into one, he’s guaranteed to lose!"

"Maybe he’s just trying his luck."

As the crowd discussed, more and more people noticed Zhang Su.

His performance over the past few days had been simply too dominant. He had defeated six people in a row, each with a single sword strike, making it hard not to attract attention.

Such a record was rare in the Lower Three Layers of the Five Elements Valley.

Luo Feng was also in the crowd.

He had been in the Five Elements Valley the whole time, keeping an eye on things for Zhang Su.

At that moment, Luo Feng saw Zhang Su’s figure appear in the open area, and his eyes widened.

’Senior Brother Zhang is out. Is he planning to go to the Second Layer?’

Luo Feng’s heart tightened as he immediately understood Zhang Su’s intentions.

The Cultivation Rooms on the Second Layer of the Five Elements Valley were definitely more effective and would be more beneficial for cultivating the Great Five Elements Divine Skill.
