"Alright. Take out the Identity Token of the Five Elements Sect Disciple you killed."
The Inner Sect Steward, of course, recognized Zhang Su.
Zhang Su immediately took the Identity Token from his robes and handed it to the Inner Sect Steward.
"Yin Jiuquan of Ghost Water Peak. Check the Five Elements Sect roster immediately."
The Inner Sect Steward immediately got to work.
In fact, the rosters of many disciples from the two sects were no secret.
The two sects had infiltrated each other deeply.
Soon, the Inner Sect Steward found the entry in the roster.
"Yin Jiuquan of Ghost Water Peak, an Inner Force disciple. Thirty merit points."
The Inner Sect Steward looked up and asked, "Just this one?"
Zhang Su nodded.
"Alright then. Inner Sect Disciple Zhang Su is awarded thirty merit points."
Many disciples in the Martial Arts Arena were shocked to see Zhang Su take out only one Identity Token.
"Just one Identity Token? Senior Brother Zhang Su is the one who beat Wei Yunzhou, a Half-Step Huajin, to death. How could he have only killed a single Inner Force Martial Artist from the Five Elements Sect yesterday?"
"Yin Jiuquan of the Five Elements Sect? I’ve never heard of him. He’s probably just a nobody, otherwise he would’ve been on the Inner Force bounty list."
"Bai Jinghong killed three Inner Force and five Outer Force Martial Artists, yet Zhang Su only killed one Inner Force. Isn’t he underperforming?"
Many disciples looked at Zhang Su with eyes full of doubt.
Of course, they didn’t doubt Zhang Su’s strength.
After all, everyone had seen him kill Wei Yunzhou in the arena.
But with such great strength, how could he have killed only one Inner Force Martial Artist?
Even Bai Jinghong was surprised.
He was very conceited, but when it came to Zhang Su, he was genuinely impressed.
’At the very least,’ he thought, ’I know for a fact I couldn’t kill a Half-Step Huajin.’
But Zhang Su’s record from yesterday was indeed far inferior to his own.
’Zhang Su only killed one Inner Force martial artist? Yesterday, even I managed to kill an Inner Force Martial Artist...’
Yu Jingjing’s gaze fell on Zhang Su, her expression somewhat complicated.
Yesterday was her first time fighting a Five Elements Sect Disciple.
Although she had suffered minor injuries, she had indeed killed an Inner Force Martial Artist.
This made her feel very excited.
In the crowd, Xie Guanchao sized up Zhang Su, a peculiar glint flashing in his eyes.
Beside him was Zhou Peng.
Zhou Peng’s hand was slightly injured and was now covered with Golden Wound Medicine.
Xie Guanchao sneered, "Those brats don’t know shit. When two sects are fighting to the death, is it a contest of who kills more? No! It’s a contest of who lives longer!"
"Zhang Su is still wearing yesterday’s Night Clothes; he hasn’t even changed. He killed an Inner Force Martial Artist from the Five Elements Sect, but look at him—not a scratch on his skin, not even a single tear on his clothes. This kid’s Body Technique must be excellent. Heh heh, people with good Body Techniques are truly something else!"
Xie Guanchao’s words carried a hint of self-praise.
Because Xie Guanchao’s own Body Technique was very strong.
However, Zhou Peng didn’t voice any rebuttal.
He was also an experienced man and knew Xie Guanchao was speaking the truth.
Don’t be fooled by how fierce Bai Jinghong seemed now, killing so many from the Five Elements Sect in a single day.
But over time, the people from the Five Elements Sect would catch on; they weren’t stupid.
Sooner or later, his luck was bound to run out.
When that time came, even with a Guardian, Bai Jinghong’s situation would likely be grim.
But Zhang Su was different.
His clothes weren’t even torn, yet he had secured the merit points.
It was just like how Xie Guanchao and the others operated.
Although Zhou Peng didn’t want to admit it, that was the reality of the situation.
In the current circumstances, people with good Body Techniques were truly amazing!
When evening came, Zhang Su took action an hour earlier than usual.
His luck was good. He encountered an Inner Force Martial Artist from the Five Elements Sect, killed him, and smoothly earned another thirty merit points.
The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...
It was like this almost every day.
Moreover, Zhang Su encountered almost no danger.
Every time, he would kill and leave.
Only killing one person.
Occasionally, if his luck was good and he ran into some Outer Force Martial Artists, he wouldn’t hold back and would kill them all.
Zhang Su also gradually noticed a pattern.
Every Martial Artist who dared to act alone was exceptionally strong.
This was normal.
Without strength, how could they dare to act alone?
Zhang Su had also considered hunting a small team.
But it would cause too much of a commotion.
It might attract the attention of a Huajin expert.
If he were delayed and a Huajin expert arrived, Zhang Su would be in deep trouble.
Therefore, after thinking it over, Zhang Su decided to stick to hunting lone wolves from the Five Elements Sect and avoid those who operated in teams for the time being.
「In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.」
For Zhang Su, these ten days had been a tedious repetition of the same task.
But for many others, they had been quite exciting.
It is said that desperate times create heroes, and that was indeed the case.
In just ten days, many new names had emerged in the Guiyuan Sect.
People who were once unknown had displayed astonishing strength while fighting Five Elements Sect Disciples, soaring to fame overnight!
News like this came out almost every day.
Zhang Su arrived at the Martial Arts Arena.
Today, the Martial Arts Arena seemed particularly lively.
Everyone seemed to be discussing one person: Shen Mo!
Zhang Su had heard this name before.
In the past ten days, Shen Mo had accomplished many great things.
That Inner Sect Steward, already forty years old and assigned to an outlying prefecture, had spent ten years sharpening his sword, and now he was making a stunning debut!
"Did you hear? Last night, Shen Mo wiped out an Inner Force team from the Five Elements Sect. There were five Inner Force Martial Artists, and Shen Mo killed them all."
"I heard Shen Mo was covered in blood and was badly injured himself, but for one person to wipe out an entire team from the Five Elements Sect... this is the first time that’s happened, right?"
"Shen Mo killed three Inner Force Martial Artists in one night a few days ago, and now he’s wiped out a whole team? His strength is just insane!"
"They say Shen Mo is doing all this to exchange for a Whole Strength Pill. He’s really risking his life..."
