Chapter 304: Chapter 145: Melt Gang Technique, the Primordial Gang Force is Finally Complete

Zhang Su’s brow furrowed.

’He’s really here?’

’But it might not be Zhao Qi.’

So, Zhang Su rose, pushed open the stone door, and walked out.

「Inside Five Elements Valley.」

Zhao Qi stood in the middle of Five Elements Valley, staring at Cultivation Room eighty-five on the Third Layer.

In the end, he had chosen to challenge Zhang Su.

Zhao Qi’s challenge drew the attention of many.

If Zhao Qi had challenged someone from the Middle Three Layers, it wouldn’t have drawn much attention.

But his decision to challenge someone from the Lower Three Layers made things different.

Moreover, it was Cultivation Room eighty-five on the Third Layer.

By now, who in the entire Five Elements Valley didn’t know which disciple occupied Cultivation Room eighty-five?

"Zhao Qi from Mixed Element Peak? He’s highly favored on the peak and is expected to become a Direct Disciple. But what does he mean by challenging Zhang Su, a mere Named Disciple?"

An Official Disciple in a long, cyan robe stood at the edge of the valley, a look of someone eager for a good show on his face.

"Heh heh, Zhang Su is just a Named Disciple at the Gang Force level, while Zhao Qi is an Official Disciple in the Postnatal Realm. Since they’re both from Mixed Element Peak, what else could it be? There’s obviously a grudge between them,"

another disciple said, a hint of amusement in his voice.

"A grudge? Now *that* makes things interesting. Some disciples really do use the Five Elements Valley to settle personal scores. When a challenge is fueled by a grudge, someone is bound to get hurt—perhaps even seriously!"

A slightly older Official Disciple shook his head; he’d seen this sort of thing too many times to be surprised.

"This is going to be a good show..."

In an instant, all eyes were on the scene.

Everyone loved a good show.

Especially since it involved an Official Disciple with infinite potential and a Named Disciple who was currently the talk of the town.

In the crowd, Luo Feng’s expression was grim.

His worst fears had come to pass.

Just as he’d feared, Zhao Qi had chosen to challenge Zhang Su.

Luo Feng stood on a viewing platform, his face still black and blue from the earlier beating.

But that was the last thing on his mind.

His gaze was glued to Cultivation Room eighty-five on the Third Layer, his heart filled with dread.

’Senior Brother Zhang, please don’t let your pride get the best of you. Just forfeit immediately...’

Luo Feng was terrified that Zhang Su’s pride would drive him to fight Zhao Qi.

If Zhang Su chose to fight, Zhao Qi would almost certainly inflict serious injuries on him.

If Zhang Su suffered a serious injury, it could even affect his future Cultivation. It simply wasn’t worth the risk.

He’d been on Mixed Element Peak for several years and had seen far too many people injured by Zhao Qi.

Some of them were bedridden for months, left with internal injuries that made any further progress in their Cultivation nearly impossible.

He didn’t want Zhang Su to become another one of his victims.

SWOOSH.

Just then, the stone door to Cultivation Room eighty-five swung open.

With a single leap, Zhang Su launched himself from the Third Layer, landing steadily on the ground below.

He raised his head to look at the cyan-robed figure opposite him.

It really was Zhao Qi.

Zhang Su had seen Zhao Qi before, so he recognized him instantly.

"Zhao Qi... tell me. Why challenge me, a Gang Force Martial Artist?"

Zhang Su asked.

His voice carried clearly through the quiet of the Five Elements Valley for everyone to hear.

Zhao Qi’s gaze fell upon Zhang Su.

In response to Zhang Su’s question, he smiled faintly and said nonchalantly, "A reason? Perhaps it’s just curiosity. I’m a little curious as to whether you’ve actually cultivated the Primordial Gang Force."

"Or perhaps I just wanted to see what’s so different about the man Luo Feng praises so highly. In short, there are many reasons. I just did it on a whim."

His tone was dismissive, as if it were a trivial matter.

Zhang Su fell silent.

’A little curious?’

’On a whim?’

With his keen perception, Zhang Su knew that Zhao Qi was telling the truth.

’The man probably really had done this on a whim.’

’Maybe seeing Luo Feng had annoyed him.’

’Or maybe he just wanted to see the Primordial Gang Force.’

’And that was all there was to it.’

Zhang Su had met plenty of people like him.

Back in the Guiyuan Sect, there had been many disciples just like him.

They were exceptionally talented, immensely powerful, and held in high esteem within the Sect.

Over time, they developed an air of superiority.

They never considered others’ feelings, nor the consequences of their own actions.

Because they believed no one could touch them.

Zhang Su looked up and saw a figure outside the Five Elements Valley—Luo Feng!

At that moment, Luo Feng was waving his hands and shaking his head frantically.

His meaning couldn’t have been clearer: he wanted Zhang Su to swallow his pride and forfeit immediately.

Zhang Su could even see the bruises on Luo Feng’s face.

"Did you injure Luo Feng?"

Zhang Su asked.

"I suppose you could say that. I had someone teach him a little lesson. What, are you going to avenge him?"

Zhao Qi arched an eyebrow.

Zhang Su didn’t answer, instead giving Zhao Qi a long, hard look.

"Do you have any idea what price you’ll pay for challenging me?"

Zhang Su said.

"What price? Hahaha! Just because everyone is fawning over your attempt to cultivate the Primordial Gang Force, you’ve started to buy into the hype? You’re still just at the Gang Force level. Do you really think that beating a few Named Disciples from the Postnatal Realm makes you comparable to an Official Disciple?"

"You have no idea how powerful an Official Disciple who reached the Postnatal Realm with an Upper Third-Grade Gang Power truly is..."

Zhao Qi’s gaze turned cold.

His smile vanished, his gaze as sharp as a blade as he stared at Zhang Su.

"It seems you truly don’t understand the price you’ll have to pay. In that case..."

Zhang Su couldn’t be bothered to waste any more words.

There were plenty of self-important fools like this one, even in the Upper Sect.

Challenging him for no reason at all.

Merely out of a little curiosity.

Or a fleeting sense of annoyance.

That was all.

In that case, Zhang Su would give the man exactly what he was asking for!
