Chapter 143 - 106: Four-in-One, Zhang Su’s Breakthrough, Hundred-Day Huajin

The oil lamp on the table had burned out at some point, plunging the secret chamber into complete darkness.

Only the faint light emanating from Zhang Su’s body flickered in the darkness, appearing and disappearing.

The light pulsed, sometimes glowing with a faint red hue, other times shifting to a ghostly blue, as if two forces were clashing endlessly within him.

One hour.

Two hours.

Three hours.

Zhang Su’s clothes were soaked through with sweat, clinging tightly to his body and revealing the firm, well-defined muscles beneath.

His face alternated between flushed red and deathly pale. His lips were pressed into a thin line, and his brow was furrowed deeply.

But even so, he didn’t make a single sound.

Suddenly, Zhang Su felt a change.

Amidst the constant collisions, the Extreme Yang Inner Strength and the Extreme Yin Inner Strength had finally begun to fuse.

At first, it was just a few strands slowly weaving together.

The sensation was like holding both ice and fire in his palm. He could feel scorching heat and chilling cold at the same time, yet the two completely opposite feelings coexisted without interfering with each other.

Moreover, Zhang Su was astonished to find that as he observed the collision of the two types of Inner Strength, all their transformations were clearly displayed before his eyes.

To be precise, they were displayed within his body, allowing him to easily comprehend the changes in Power.

’So this is why one can comprehend the changes in Power at the four-in-one stage...’

Zhang Su understood.

The clash of two diametrically opposed types of Inner Strength would naturally demonstrate every possible transformation of Power within his body. It was impossible not to comprehend it.

Even if he couldn’t intellectually understand it, the enlightenment he felt within his body was profound.

It was like someone who grew up in the water. They wouldn’t need to be taught how to swim; the affinity for water would become instinctual.

This was exactly Zhang Su’s situation.

The clash of the two Inner Strengths was like an exquisitely masterful lesson, presenting every transformation of Power before him.

This was an understanding that an ordinary Martial Artist would struggle to reach even after years of arduous cultivation.

The once abstruse and complex Power, with all its various transformations, no longer held any secrets from Zhang Su’s perception.

Time passed, bit by bit.

Five hours, six hours, seven hours...

For an entire day, the Inner Strength from Zhang Su’s Taiyin Divine Technique fused with the Extreme Yang Great Three Yang Power.

And Zhang Su had completely comprehended the changes in Power.

Finally, the two types of Inner Strength completed their fusion.

From this moment on, Zhang Su’s Pure Yang Nine Combinations Divine Skill had finally reached the four-in-one Realm.

And Zhang Su had officially broken through to Huajin, becoming a true Huajin Martial Artist!

Host: Zhang Su

Cultivation: Huajin (Early Stage)

Martial Dao True Intent: 1% (Two types of Divine Intent)

Taiyin Divine Technique: Compatibility 100% (Perfection)

Profound Yin Divine Technique: Compatibility 100% (Minor Achievement)

Absolute Yin Divine Technique: Compatibility 100% (Minor Achievement)

Compatibility Value: 93

On the panel, Zhang Su’s Cultivation had changed to Huajin.

His Compatibility Value had also increased by one.

Counting the time, it had only been three months and ten days since Zhang Su went to the Sect Grand Hall and learned the specific conditions of the Celestial Pride Trial from the Sect Leader.

In almost exactly one hundred days, he had broken through from Inner Force to Huajin.

’Huajin in a hundred days...’

Zhang Su muttered to himself, a hint of satisfaction in his voice.

His goal for participating in the Celestial Pride Trial was to reach Embracing Pill within two years.

Yet, only a little over three months had passed, and he had already advanced to Huajin.

His Cultivation speed was even faster than Yu Hualong’s back then.

If this wasn’t a Celestial Pride, then what was?

However, he still hadn’t reached Embracing Pill.

Nothing was set in stone yet.

The transition from Huajin to Embracing Pill was a qualitative transformation.

Many geniuses got stuck at this Realm.

Anyone who succeeded in Embracing Pill was considered an expert in the Sect.

Even among the Five Great Martial Veins, those who successfully reached Embracing Pill held a considerably high status.

Zhang Su extended his hand.

He took a moment to feel the Inner Strength within his body.

Now, his Inner Strength was completely different.

It was no longer the Great Three Yang Power.

According to the description in the Pure Yang Nine Combinations Divine Skill, the Inner Strength of the four-in-one and five-in-one stages was called the Yin Yang Mixture Strength!

This Yin Yang Mixture Strength possessed not only the ferocity of the Great Three Yang Power but also the softness of the Taiyin Divine Technique’s Inner Strength.

Zhang Su circulated the Yin Yang Mixture Strength within his body, then pressed his hand against the ground.

CRACK.

The ground instantly fractured.

Moreover, the ground seemed as soft as tofu, his palm sinking a few inches into it with a gentle press.

The hard bluestone floor, with his palm at the center, developed a web of fine, dense cracks spreading outward like a spiderweb.

At their deepest, the cracks were a full inch deep.

And this was just a light test from Zhang Su.

If he went all out, the power would be even more terrifying.

If this were to strike a person, who could possibly withstand it?

The soft aspect of the Inner Strength was particularly lethal, capable of penetrating skin and muscle to directly affect the weak internal organs.

BZZZ.

Suddenly, a mosquito flew in from somewhere, circled Zhang Su twice, and then landed gently on his arm.

The mosquito was as tiny as a speck of dust, almost impossible for an ordinary person to notice.

But Zhang Su perceived its existence clearly.

Not by sight, but from the minuscule touch on his skin.

With a mere thought, Zhang Su flicked his internal Yin Yang Mixture Strength.

The flick was incredibly precise, its force contained to a hair’s breadth. It acted only on the mosquito, not even disturbing the fine hairs on his arm.

PUFF.

The mosquito was instantly vibrated into a tiny puff of debris, which drifted off Zhang Su’s arm.

This was the realm where "a feather cannot be added, nor can a fly land."
