Chapter 241 - 130: Gang Force, Succeeded

As the Inner Strength from the Outer Extreme Divine Technique merged into his Pure Yang Force, inspiration struck Zhang Su. With a single thought...

His Pure Yang Force instantly covered every inch of his body.

HUMMM.

A layer of Gang Force materialized on the surface of Zhang Su’s body.

"Gang Force. I’ve done it!"

A smile touched Zhang Su’s lips.

The Seven-in-One stage of the Pure Yang Nine Combinations Divine Skill allowed one to step into the Gang Force realm.

Of course, to be more precise, it was Outer Gang.

The Gang Force covering Zhang Su’s body was no longer called Pure Yang Force; it was now known as Pure Yang Gang Power!

This layer of Gang Force was so thin it was almost invisible to the naked eye unless one looked closely.

But it was undeniably there, covering every inch of his skin.

Zhang Su reached out and touched his own arm. The moment his fingertip made contact with the Gang Force, he felt a pliable resistance.

The resistance wasn’t immense, but it was incredibly tough, like touching a sheet of thick leather.

SHIING.

Zhang Su drew his sword.

He aimed the tip of the blade at his left arm and gently pressed down.

The instant the tip made contact, the Gang Force indented slightly before quickly springing back.

The tip of the blade was held fast, unable to penetrate.

Zhang Su applied more force.

The blade’s tip was still held at bay.

He continued to increase the pressure until he was using half his strength.

Only then did the tip manage to pierce a tiny bit before the Gang Force repelled it again.

Zhang Su sheathed his sword, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

His Gang Force was far stronger than he had imagined.

He compared it to Zhou Dingshan’s Four-in-One Gang Strength from their previous encounter.

Back in the arena, he hadn’t been able to break through Zhou Dingshan’s Four-in-One Gang Strength, even when using the Twelve Layers Killing Sword combined with his Hundredfold Pill Power.

In the end, he had to resort to the Bursting Sword Form to slay Zhou Dingshan with a single blow.

And now, the Defense Power of his Pure Yang Gang Power was even greater than Zhou Dingshan’s Four-in-One Gang Strength had been.

Zhang Su had personally experienced Zhou Dingshan’s Gang Force.

He still vividly remembered its toughness.

But his Pure Yang Gang Power was even stronger than Zhou Dingshan’s!

"A Supreme Secret Transmission..."

Zhang Su murmured under his breath.

He finally understood the significance of a Supreme Secret Transmission.

The Pure Yang Nine Combinations Divine Skill was said to be on par with the Five Elements Sect’s Five Elements Unite.

It truly lived up to its reputation.

The Pure Yang Gang Power produced by the Seven-in-One stage already surpassed the Defense Power of Zhou Dingshan’s Four-in-One Gang Strength.

’What about Eight-in-One, or even Nine Unification?’

’Just how powerful would that be?’

’Choosing to cultivate the Pure Yang Nine Combinations Divine Skill really was the right decision.’

Furthermore, not only could Zhang Su now form Gang Force, but his Inner Strength had also increased tremendously.

If he were to utilize Pill Force now, its explosive power would be even more terrifying than before.

If he were to face Zhou Dingshan again, Zhang Su was confident he could shatter his opponent’s Gang Force without even needing to use the Bursting Sword Form.

Zhang Su reined in his thoughts and began to examine the information on his panel.

Host: Zhang Su

Cultivation: Gang Force (Outer Gang)

Martial Dao True Intent: 13% (Six Divine Intents)

Infinite Sword Scripture Bursting Sword Form: Compatibility 100% (Divine Intent)

Flying Blade Skill: Compatibility 100% (Divine Intent)

Outer Extreme Divine Technique: Compatibility 100% (Perfection)

Inner Extreme Divine Technique: Compatibility 100% (Uninitiated)

Infinite Divine Technique: Compatibility 100% (Uninitiated)

Compatibility Value: 95

During his three months of seclusion, Zhang Su had not only advanced his Cultivation but also nurtured two new forms of Divine Intent.

It had taken him two months to finally nurture Divine Intent for the Bursting Sword Form.

After that, Zhang Su had continued by nurturing his Flying Blade Skill.

Within a month, he had developed Divine Intent for it as well.

The Divine Intent for the Bursting Sword Form increased his Martial Dao True Intent progress by 5%.

The Divine Intent for the Flying Blade Skill increased his Martial Dao True Intent progress by 1%.

Although the Divine Intent for the Flying Blade Skill didn’t contribute much to his Martial Dao True Intent progress, Zhang Su still valued the skill highly.

While this Martial Art wasn’t especially powerful, it was excellent for training one’s control over Inner Strength.

With the enhancement from the Flying Blade Skill’s Divine Intent, his control over his Inner Strength had reached a new level.

With a single thought, Zhang Su immediately flung out a handful of Flying Knives.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH.

The Flying Knives wove through the air, forming a silvery web of light.

Every single one struck the wooden post with precision, forming a perfect circle.

The spacing between them was identical, down to the millimeter.

Empowered by Divine Intent, the might of his Flying Blade Skill had surged as well.

However, Zhang Su estimated that it still couldn’t break through Gang Force.

The Flying Blade Skill looked impressive, but its actual power was too low.

It was decent enough for dealing with Huajin or Pill Force Martial Artists, but against a Gang Force Martial Artist, the Flying Knives couldn’t even penetrate their Protective Gang Force.

Perhaps only the legendary "Sword Control Skill" could be considered truly powerful.

But the Sword Control Skill was a Martial Art of the Innate Level.

Zhang Su was still a long way from reaching that.

Still, now that his Flying Blade Skill had developed Divine Intent, the number of Flying Knives Zhang Su could control had also increased.

It had gone up from sixteen to twenty.

This was basically the true limit of the Flying Blade Skill.

Zhang Su estimated that he wouldn’t be able to increase the number of knives he could control any further.

Controlling twenty Flying Knives was already the absolute limit.

Controlling twenty Flying Knives also further refined Zhang Su’s control over his Inner Strength.

Zhang Su reckoned that cultivating the Inner Extreme Divine Technique wouldn’t even take three months now.

At his current rate, he could reach Perfection in the Inner Extreme Divine Technique in two months at most.

"Now that I’ve reached the Gang Force realm, I can cultivate some powerful Martial Techniques to enhance my combat prowess."

Zhang Su murmured to himself.

He had always focused his efforts on raising his Cultivation level.

He had never wavered in his belief that Cultivation was the foundation of everything.

But now that his Cultivation had advanced, he couldn’t let his Martial Techniques fall behind.

He currently had the Extreme Sword Form and Bursting Sword Form from the Infinite Sword Scripture, but both of these Swordsmanship techniques were all-or-nothing killing blows—one-shot moves.

After a single strike, his Inner Strength would be completely depleted. It was a case of do or die: either the enemy fell, or he would.
