Unrestricted Dao Lord

"Let’s begin. Those who cultivate the ’Gale Swordsmanship’, step forward."

Zhang Su said slowly.

Four disciples of the Jiang Family stepped forward.

"Alright, you’ll do. Draw your sword."

Zhang Su said, pointing at the Jiang Family disciple at the very front.

"Young Master Zhang, my apologies..."

The disciple instantly drew his sword, also executing the Gale Swordsmanship.

Moreover, his Qi Blood surged, revealing him to be at the Fifth Layer of the Qi Blood Realm.

CLANG.

Zhang Su drew his sword as well.

However, he suppressed his own Qi Blood.

He limited it to the same level as his opponent, the Fifth Layer of the Qi Blood Realm, and also used the Gale Swordsmanship.

CLING CLANG CLING.

The Gale Swordsmanship had thirty-six Sword Techniques, but its core was singular: speed!

And when it came to the Fast Sword, Zhang Su was all too familiar with it.

Therefore, Zhang Su had practically reached Great Success with the Gale Swordsmanship the moment he started using it.

Both combatants, each at the Great Success stage of the Gale Swordsmanship, were engaged in a frantic exchange.

Ten moves, twenty moves, thirty moves...

After just thirty moves, the speed of the longsword in Zhang Su’s hand suddenly exploded.

The thirty-six Sword Techniques blurred into one.

From a distance, it seemed as if nothing remained but an impenetrable web of sword light.

PSSSH.

The Cold Frost Sword sliced open his opponent’s arm.

The disciple immediately staggered back a few steps, his face turning deathly pale.

"Gale Swordsmanship at Perfection..."

Jiang Cheng stared intently at Zhang Su.

He could hardly believe his eyes.

’How long has it been?’

’In just thirty moves, Zhang Su’s Gale Swordsmanship has reached Perfection.’

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

But this was the reality.

This scene was also witnessed by the Jiang Clan Elders.

Instantly, an uproar swept through the crowd.

"What? He reached Perfection already?"

"That’s unbelievable..."

"What did Zhang Su just do? Didn’t he just suppress his Cultivation and spar with a Jiang Family disciple using the Gale Swordsmanship? How did he reach Perfection?"

Many people couldn’t comprehend what they were seeing, but they were deeply shaken.

Even the worldly-wise Jiang Clan Elders were wide-eyed, unable to snap out of their shock for a long time.

For Zhang Su, however, this was nothing out of the ordinary.

The Eight Martial Techniques he had chosen all had a Compatibility of over 90%.

With such high Compatibility, his Cultivation progressed at a divine speed, advancing a thousand miles in a single day.

As long as he could seize the opportunity, he could cultivate them to Perfection.

This was true not just for Ordinary Martial Techniques, but even for Superior or Top Martial Techniques.

Moreover, the Gale Swordsmanship was a "Fast Sword" style.

Zhang Su himself already had a profound understanding of "Fast Sword" styles.

Under these circumstances, it was no surprise that the Gale Swordsmanship reached Perfection at maximum speed.

’Another point for my Compatibility Value.’

Zhang Su was very satisfied.

However, he didn’t stop. Instead, he said, "Next..."

Zhang Su began using the second Martial Technique, sparring with another Jiang Family disciple.

This time, however, they sparred for a long while, but he couldn’t grasp the opportunity.

But it didn’t matter. Zhang Su continued, calling out, "Two more! The three of you can use the same Martial Technique and attack me together!"

At his word, two more Jiang Family disciples stepped out.

The three of them used the same Martial Technique to besiege Zhang Su.

Under this pressure, Zhang Su’s comprehension of the Martial Technique did indeed accelerate.

Soon, the second Martial Technique reached Perfection.

Then the third, the fourth, the fifth...

This continued until dusk.

Finally, all Eight Martial Techniques had reached Perfection!

Phew...

Zhang Su let out a long sigh of relief.

With that, Zhang Su sheathed his sword.

"Thank you, Brother Jiang. Thank you, Patriarch. Thank you, honorable Jiang Clan Elders! I didn’t expect to bring all Eight Martial Techniques to Perfection so quickly. I won’t disturb you any longer. Farewell!"

Zhang Su cupped his fist in a salute to the members of the Jiang Family to express his gratitude.

Then, he turned and left the Jiang Family estate.

As for the members of the Jiang Family, they all seemed "numb."

For a long time, none of them could come to their senses.

It wasn’t until Zhang Su had vanished from the Martial Arts Arena that one of the Clan Elders, his voice seemingly trembling, spoke slowly, "Is this the true genius of the Guiyuan Sect? I fear even Wei Yunzhou, back in his day, couldn’t have done this..."

Everyone fell silent.

Eight Martial Techniques, all brought to Perfection in a single day!

How absurd was that?

Yet it was the truth.

To think someone with such terrifying talent in Martial Techniques actually existed in this world.

"Good, the marriage alliance is a good idea! Patriarch, you were right. Our Jiang Family must form this alliance with the Zhang Family!" one of the Clan Elders suddenly shouted.

The other Clan Elders also came to their senses one after another.

Previously, they had disagreed with the Patriarch’s decision.

But now that they had witnessed such a "monstrous" side of Zhang Su, how could they possibly object?

Eight Martial Techniques, perfected in a single day!

They dared not imagine it.

They didn’t dare to even think about it!

Even just recalling it sent a profound shock through them!

...

At the crack of dawn, Zhang Su opened his eyes.

After a night of arduous Cultivation.

His Qi Blood count had reached two hundred twenty-four strands!

However, he only had four Blood Replenishing Pills left.

They would only last him one more day.

However, Zhang Su was already preparing to return to the mountain.

Zhang Su checked his panel.

Host: Zhang Su

Cultivation: Ninth Layer of the Qi Blood Realm

Compatibility Value: 10

This trip down the mountain had been incredibly fruitful for Zhang Su.

Not only had he received a total of 10,000 silver, but the Su Family would also give him 5,000 silver every month from now on.

Even his Compatibility Value had reached ten points.

’It’s time to go back to the mountain...’

Zhang Su rose to his feet immediately.

He went to the front hall and saw his older brother, sister-in-law, and younger sister.

"Second Brother, are you preparing to return to the mountain?"

Zhang Chen asked, seeing Zhang Su carrying a pack on his back.

"Yes, I’ve been down the mountain for a long time. It’s about time I went back. On little sister’s wedding day, send me a letter, and I’ll be sure to rush back."

Zhang Su said with a smile, looking at his younger sister, Zhang Lingyi.

"Second Brother..."

Zhang Lingyi was reluctant to see him go.

"Alright, it’s good for you to go back early. But, Second Brother, if you’re returning to the mountain, you must be careful of Wei Yunzhou..." his older brother warned with a solemn expression.

"I understand."

"Older Brother, Sister-in-law, Little Sister, and Elder Guan, take care!"

After speaking, Zhang Su immediately turned to leave.

"Second Brother, if things on the mountain don’t go your way, then just come back down..."

Zhang Chen’s words echoed in the front hall.

It was unclear if Zhang Su had heard him, as he had already vanished from their sight.

Gazing at Zhang Su’s disappearing back, Zhang Chen murmured, "A year ago, I never would have thought Second Brother could get this far in the Guiyuan Sect. But the more dazzling he becomes, the more I worry."

"Among those legendary figures who dominate the Jianghu, how many ever meet a good end..."

Su Zhenzhen walked over and tightly gripped Zhang Chen’s hand.

"Husband, Second Brother is no ordinary person. Even the Jiang Family is rushing to arrange a marriage with the Zhang Family. Isn’t that just to build a relationship with him?"

"Let’s just wait for good news from Second Brother. I believe he can definitely become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Guiyuan Sect, and he’ll be in no way inferior to Wei Yunzhou!"

"His departure marks the beginning of a magnificent journey, his future as bright as brocade..."

Su Zhenzhen, in contrast, had great confidence in Zhang Su.

...

Dressed in a white shirt, Zhang Su rode Little Red Horse, galloping all the way.

He finally made it back to the Guiyuan Sect before dusk.

’I’m finally back...’

Looking at the Mountain Gate of the Guiyuan Sect, Zhang Su breathed a sigh of relief.

Only after a trip into the Jianghu did he realize how fortunate he was to be in the Guiyuan Sect.

In the Jianghu, countless Martial Artists would stop at nothing, fighting to the death, for a single Top Martial Art.

But what about in the Guiyuan Sect?

Forget Top Martial Arts; even Unparalleled Martial Arts were placed on bookshelves, available for anyone to choose.

Some Elders would even occasionally impart their experience with Martial Techniques.

It was equivalent to being taught by hand.

Such a good thing was unimaginable in the Jianghu.

Zhang Su returned Little Red Horse.

He also patted Little Red Horse on the head to comfort it.

Afterward, Zhang Su headed toward his residence in the Outer Sect area.

’So quiet?’

Zhang Su saw that outside the courtyard, the main gate was shut tight.

There was no sound from within.

’Could it be that Chu Dachuan and the others are all out?’

Zhang Su pushed open the courtyard gate and walked inside.

As soon as he stepped into the house, Zhang Su smelled a mixed scent of blood and medicinal herbs hanging in the air.

"Hm?"

"You... you’re injured?"

Zhang Su’s pupils contracted.

He saw that Du Tian, Zhao Feng, and Chu Dachuan were all in the room.

However, the faces of all three were pale, and it seemed every one of them was injured.
