Unrestricted Dao Lord

Zhang Su exchanged for thirteen Martial Techniques.

His goal was clear: cultivate all thirteen of these Martial Techniques to Perfection in order to obtain a large amount of Compatibility Value.

Although thirteen Martial Techniques was a huge number.

But during this time, Zhang Su’s Qi Blood had reached its limit. Before he could cultivate the Heaven-Swallowing Blood Nourishing Technique, he was unable to break through the human body’s limits, so his Qi Blood would not increase no matter what he did.

Therefore, Zhang Su devoted all his time and energy to cultivating these thirteen Martial Techniques.

The days passed, one by one.

Zhang Su methodically cultivated the thirteen Martial Techniques.

His Compatibility with every single Martial Technique was above 90%.

As a result, his cultivation of them went incredibly smoothly.

In just half a month, he had basically brought them all to the level of Great Success.

In Zhang Su’s eyes, this was nothing worth mentioning.

But for Du Tian, Zhao Feng, and Chu Dachuan, who lived under the same roof as Zhang Su, they could only watch in amazement as he cultivated thirteen Martial Techniques with ease and progressed at a divine speed.

He had brought all of them to Great Success in only half a month.

Their hearts were already churning with tempestuous waves, filled with an unparalleled sense of shock.

They originally had some ulterior motives.

But now, those motives had long since vanished like smoke.

They had become incomparably "loyal," wholeheartedly carrying out tasks for Zhang Su.

The task Zhang Su gave them was also very simple.

He wanted them to investigate which disciples at the Ninth Layer of the Qi Blood Realm in the Outer Sect were cultivating the same, or similar, Martial Techniques as his thirteen.

Chu Dachuan and the other two did not disappoint.

They even compiled a long list for Zhang Su.

Zhang Su was very satisfied and went to "challenge" them one by one, according to the names on the list.

Alternatively, Chu Dachuan and the other two would find ways to arrange "duels" for Zhang Su.

In every fight, Zhang Su only used one of the thirteen Martial Techniques.

Once or twice might have been a coincidence.

But three times, four times, five times...

As Zhang Su issued challenge after challenge, his fame in the Outer Sect grew rapidly.

The entire Outer Sect came to know of a "madman" who was frantically challenging Outer Disciples at the Ninth Layer of the Qi Blood Realm.

Moreover, he used a different Martial Technique every time.

Zhang Su didn’t care about the others’ discussions.

This method of challenging others was perhaps a bit high-profile, but the results were indeed excellent.

Although he couldn’t guarantee that he would seize the opportunity in every battle.

But if he failed, it was no big deal; he would just switch to another person.

After all, the Outer Sect might be lacking in many things, but it was never short of disciples.

"Today is the thirteenth day. According to Zhang Su’s usual pattern, if he challenges someone again, he’ll use his thirteenth Martial Technique."

"Before this, Zhang Su has already challenged twenty-one Outer Disciples at the Ninth Layer of the Qi Blood Realm. He even challenged three in a single day and won every single match, remaining undefeated!"

"There’s a rumor that Zhang Su exchanged for thirteen Martial Techniques at the Instructor Pavilion all at once. The purpose of his challenges is to cultivate all thirteen of them to Perfection!"

"It’s unbelievable! In just half a month, Zhang Su has already cultivated twelve Martial Techniques to Perfection. What kind of terrifying talent is that?"

"With Zhang Su’s current strength, I wonder if he’s qualified to challenge the Ten Great Outer Disciples?"

"To be one of the Ten Great Outer Disciples, you must have over two hundred threads of Qi Blood and cultivate a Top Martial Technique. I doubt Zhang Su has two hundred threads of Qi Blood, and as for Martial Techniques... we’ve only seen him use Superior Martial Techniques so far. He probably hasn’t cultivated any Top Martial Techniques."

"With Zhang Su’s talent, he can cultivate thirteen Martial Techniques to Perfection. You think he can’t cultivate a Top Martial Technique?"

"Let’s first see Zhang Su’s challenge against Senior Brother Lu Tianxing. This Senior Brother Lu is no simple character..."

Today was a special day.

Because Zhang Su was challenging Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing was known for his Body Technique, and what he cultivated was none other than the Nine Palace Step.

Zhang Su, evidently, had also cultivated the Nine Palace Step.

The duel between Zhang Su and Lu Tianxing had long been a hot topic of discussion.

Lu Tianxing had accepted Zhang Su’s challenge.

Lu Tianxing was even waiting outside his courtyard early.

Soon, Zhang Su arrived.

Following behind him were Chu Dachuan and the other two.

"Senior Brother Lu."

"Junior Brother Zhang, you’ve certainly become famous lately. I don’t know why you’re cultivating so many Martial Techniques, but getting past me won’t be easy."

Lu Tianxing said.

"Then please enlighten me, Senior Brother Lu."

The moment Zhang Su’s voice fell, Lu Tianxing did not hold back.

He drew his sword directly.

However, his Swordsmanship was definitely no match for Zhang Su’s.

CLANG.

Zhang Su drew his sword as well.

However, his sword never attacked; it was only used for passive defense.

But strangely, no matter how fast Lu Tianxing’s Swordsmanship was, how strong his power, or how tricky his angles, he could do nothing to Zhang Su.

Yet Zhang Su never took the initiative to attack. He only used the Nine Palace Step to dodge and weave, constantly blocking.

CLING CLANG CLANG.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Suddenly, Zhang Su’s Nine Palace Step became even more agile.

His dodges and leaps were even faster than Lu Tianxing’s.

He appeared before Lu Tianxing in an instant.

And Zhang Su’s sword was only three inches from Lu Tianxing’s neck.

The bone-chilling edge of the blade made the skin on Lu Tianxing’s neck tingle with pain.

"I’ve lost..."

Lu Tianxing admitted defeat gracefully.

"I didn’t believe the rumors in the Outer Sect at first, but now I do. Your Nine Palace Step actually reached Perfection in a single battle? It’s incredible. I’ve been practicing it for years, yet my Nine Palace Step is still only at Great Success, with no sign of reaching Perfection..."

Lu Tianxing felt a bit bitter.

However, he wasn’t discouraged.

After all, more than twenty Outer Disciples had already been defeated by Zhang Su.

All of them were at the Ninth Layer of the Qi Blood Realm.

Being defeated by Zhang Su wasn’t that shameful.

"Junior Brother Zhang, I’m very curious. You practice so many Martial Techniques and cultivate them all to Perfection. The rumors outside say you’re trying to draw from all sources to cultivate an earth-shattering Martial Technique."

"Which Top Martial Technique are you cultivating, Junior Brother?"

Lu Tianxing asked curiously.

In fact, it wasn’t just Lu Tianxing; many disciples in the Outer Sect were also curious.

Zhang Su cultivated so many Martial Techniques.

With all that time and energy, couldn’t he just focus on mastering a single one?

They had no doubt that with the talent Zhang Su had shown, he could definitely master a Top Martial Technique.

Zhang Su glanced at Lu Tianxing.

’He was quite cooperative.’

’He helped me bring my thirteenth Martial Technique to Perfection smoothly.’

Zhang Su was in a great mood, so he didn’t mind telling Lu Tianxing.

It wasn’t much of a secret anyway.

"My goal... is the Unparalleled."

SNAP.

After speaking, Zhang Su directly sheathed his sword, turned, and walked away.

BOOM.

The surrounding Outer Disciples who were watching erupted in an uproar.

"Unparalleled! Zhang Su’s goal is an Unparalleled Martial Technique!"

"No wonder... Whether he’s trying to draw from all sources or shore up his weaknesses, cultivating thirteen Martial Techniques to Perfection requires so much effort. Why would he do all that just for a Top Martial Technique? Only an Unparalleled Martial Technique would be worth such an investment of blood and sweat."

"An Unparalleled Martial Technique... Although the top three of the Ten Great Outer Disciples have all cultivated Unparalleled Martial Techniques, what kind of talent do those three possess? Even they, after years of cultivation, haven’t been able to bring their Unparalleled Martial Techniques to Perfection."

"I just wonder which Unparalleled Martial Technique Zhang Su is cultivating."

"It’s a pity. Senior Brother Zhang Su’s foundation probably isn’t strong; his Qi Blood is still only at a hundred threads. To have such high talent in Martial Techniques but a Cultivation that can’t compare to the Ten Great Outer Disciples... I wonder if he’ll ever be able to refine Inner Strength..."

"If Zhang Su can really master an Unparalleled Martial Technique, then the list of the Ten Great Outer Disciples will probably have to change... At that time, perhaps Senior Brother Zhang Su could ascend to the ranks of the Ten Great Outer Disciples with a Cultivation of just a hundred threads of Qi Blood!"

Zhang Su hadn’t walked far.

The discussions of many Outer Disciples reached his ears.

’Ascend to the ranks of the Ten Great Outer Disciples with a hundred threads of Qi Blood...’

Zhang Su muttered to himself in a low voice.

Then he shook his head.

Challenging the Ten Great Outer Disciples with only a hundred threads of Qi Blood would certainly be a case of the weak defeating the strong—a miracle!

But Zhang Su didn’t like this kind of miracle where the weak overcame the strong.

He preferred... to crush them!

’Besides, who said I only have a hundred threads of Qi Blood?’

Zhang Su silently felt the surging, tempestuous Qi Blood within his body.

A full one hundred and fifty-two threads of Qi Blood were coiled throughout his body.

He had already broken through the human body’s limits long ago!
