Chapter 310: Chapter 147: First-Grade Gang Force, Still Not Enough

He understood everything and even felt a deep connection to it.

It was as if these two Martial Arts were tailor-made for him.

This was the benefit of having 100% Compatibility.

No matter how difficult the Martial Arts, as long as one’s Compatibility was high, Cultivation would be as easy as a fish taking to water.

Zhang Su began to cultivate.

These two Divine Techniques could also be cultivated simultaneously.

After circulating the techniques just a few times, two new types of Inner Strength formed within Zhang Su’s body.

Ice Evil Internal Force and Fire Evil Internal Force.

One was cold, the other hot, yet they circulated within his body simultaneously without interfering with each other, each following its own path.

Moreover, they were completely different from the Fire Element Internal Force and Water Element Internal Force of the Great Five Elements Divine Technique.

The Ice Evil Internal Force and Fire Evil Internal Force were both incredibly extreme.

It was exceedingly rare to find a Martial Artist suited to cultivating two types of Inner Strength that were pushed to such extremes.

Across the Upper Sect Nine Peaks, there were disciples who cultivated the Ice Evil Divine Technique or the Fire Evil Divine Technique individually, but those who could cultivate both simultaneously were few and far between.

This was because when cultivating two extreme forms of Inner Strength—one cold, one hot—the slightest mistake could cause them to spiral out of control.

But with his 100% Compatibility, Zhang Su had no such problems with his Cultivation.

His body was a perfect match for these two Martial Arts. As the cold and hot Inner Strengths circulated within him, not only did they not conflict, but they even seemed to faintly complement each other.

The birth of the Ice Evil Internal Force and Fire Evil Internal Force meant that Zhang Su had already reached the entry-level for these two Martial Arts.

But this was merely the entry-level; the Inner Strength was still very weak.

To cultivate them to the level of Perfection would require a great deal of time and energy.

Zhang Su carefully gauged his Cultivation speed.

He made a rough calculation.

At his current pace, without any external aids and relying solely on his own Cultivation, it would take at least three years for the Ice Evil Divine Technique and Fire Evil Divine Technique to possibly reach Perfection.

And that was with his 100% Compatibility, which made his Cultivation efficiency far greater than that of an ordinary person.

Any other Martial Artist, even one suited for these two Martial Arts, couldn’t dream of reaching Perfection in less than eight to ten years.

’Three years... That’s too long!’

Zhang Su frowned.

Three years was too long.

He couldn’t wait three years.

’I have to find another way.’

Zhang Su left the Quiet Chamber and returned the two Martial Arts Secret Manuals to the Martial Arts Hall.

Then, Zhang Su headed straight for Danwu Peak.

Before long, Zhang Su arrived at Danwu Peak.

Danwu Peak was as lively as ever.

In the plaza outside the Mountain Gate, disciples seeking Medicine Pills were packed together in a massive crowd.

Zhang Su cut straight through the crowd and walked to the entrance of Danwu Peak’s Mountain Gate.

Two Named Disciples in gray robes stood at the entrance—one tall, one short. They were the same two he had seen before.

The taller, skinnier disciple had sharp eyes. He spotted Zhang Su immediately, and a wide smile instantly appeared on his face.

Zhang Su took out his Identity Token.

"I’m looking for Lu Danxi."

Zhang Su said plainly.

He had expected the disciple to go announce his arrival, but instead, the taller one just smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhang Su, there’s no need for an announcement. Please, go right in."

His tone was enthusiastic, even more respectful than before.

"Oh?"

Zhang Su was rather surprised.

’I have no connection with these two Gatekeeper Disciples and I’ve only been here once before. Why are they suddenly so courteous?’

"Junior Brother Luo Feng has been coming to Danwu Peak often, so we’ve gotten to know him quite well."

"Besides, we heard all about what happened at Five Elements Valley yesterday. Senior Brother Zhang Su, you’re incredible! Even Zhao Qi was no match for you."

The taller disciple explained.

"I see..."

Zhang Su understood.

He had sent Luo Feng to Danwu Peak to get Medicine Pills from Lu Danxi. Over time, Luo Feng must have familiarized himself with the Named Disciples guarding the peak.

Luo Feng really had a way with people.

He could get along with anyone, from Official Disciples down to servants; he could strike up a conversation with them all.

And so, Zhang Su walked directly into the inner courtyard of Danwu Peak.

The inner courtyard was much quieter than the outside. All kinds of rare flowers and Exotic Grass grew on either side of the bluestone path.

He occasionally saw a few Official Disciples walk past, clutching medicine vials and looking rushed.

Zhang Su followed the path for a short while before finally arriving outside Lu Danxi’s courtyard.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

"Senior Sister Lu, are you in?"

Zhang Su knocked and called out.

A flurry of hurried footsteps sounded from within the courtyard.

CREAK.

The main gate opened.

Zhang Su saw a woman with a face covered in soot.

He took a closer look. She seemed somewhat familiar.

’Isn’t that Lu Danxi?’

But the Lu Danxi before him had a face smudged with black and gray, as if she’d been in a smoke-filled room. Whatever it was, Zhang Su almost didn’t recognize her.

"Zhang Su? Quick, come in!"

Seeing Zhang Su, Lu Danxi’s eyes lit up, and she immediately ushered him into the courtyard.

"I was just concocting some Medicine Pills and ran into a bit of trouble, hence the mess. Have a seat and wait, I’m going to go change."

Lu Danxi bustled into the house.

Zhang Su sat down at the stone table in the courtyard and waited quietly.

The courtyard hadn’t changed much since his last visit.

The osmanthus tree was still in the corner, its leaves and branches even more lush than he remembered.

About fifteen minutes later, Lu Danxi reemerged.

Her face was clean, and she had changed into a simple, neat set of clothes.

She had recombed her hair, tying it up with a jade hairpin that revealed her smooth forehead and slender neck.

She looked completely refreshed, as if a different person from the soot-faced figure of moments ago.

Lu Danxi looked at Zhang Su, a hint of pleasant surprise on her face.

"Tsk, tsk. I really didn’t expect this. A mere Named Disciple like you managed to break an Official Disciple’s arm? And it was Zhao Qi of Mixed Element Peak, no less. He became a Postnatal Realm Martial Artist with First-Grade Gang Force and has quite a reputation among the Upper Sect Nine Peaks."
