Clear Spring Prefecture, the Gu Family!
Zhang Su knew them all too well.
The Gu Family was extremely famous.
Ten years ago, the Gu Family had still been the wealthiest and most charitable household in Clear Spring Prefecture. Back then, the Su Family had yet to earn its reputation as the Half-City Su Family.
Unfortunately, the Gu Family offended a ruthless man.
That man was named Zhou Sandao, nicknamed the Thousand-Mile Lone Wanderer. In truth, he was simply a notorious bandit.

After hearing that the Gu Family possessed a priceless treasure, he infiltrated the Gu residence to steal it.
Unexpectedly, he alerted the guards hired by the Gu Family.

After failing the first time, Zhou Sandao returned for a second attempt.
This time, the Gu Family was prepared. Several guards joined forces and injured Zhou Sandao.
Zhou Sandao held a grudge and secretly invited his sworn elder brother, Jiang Kui, known throughout the martial world as Bloody Hand.
Jiang Kui stormed into the Gu residence.

He killed all the guards, then killed Master Gu and several of his sons before finally seizing the treasure and leaving without a care.
From then on, the Gu Family was left with only its sole daughter, Gu Ying.
Over the past ten years, even after Gu Ying grew up and took over the family business, the Gu Family's enterprises continued to decline.
By now, the family had long since lost its former glory.

"Miss Gu came personally because you wish to sponsor me?"
"Yes. Young Master, please examine this carefully."
Ẅе b n о̊vе l .Ѐ nu̇ mä
After Gu Ying finished speaking, the maid behind her respectfully handed over a sponsorship agreement.
Zhang Su accepted it and opened it.
Immediately, a trace of surprise appeared on Zhang Su's face.
"A Grade One Sponsorship agreement?"
Gu Ying nodded. "Yes. My Gu Family offers Young Master Zhang a Grade One Sponsorship agreement to help you advance into the inner sect!"
Zhang Su did not become ecstatic.

He understood the situation very clearly.
He had indeed successfully cultivated a peerless divine art and broken through the limits of the human body, so many people would no longer care that he was overage.
But obtaining Grade Two Sponsorship would already be quite good.
Many people would still hesitate over Grade One Sponsorship.
That was because Grade One Sponsorship provided five thousand taels of silver every month, sixty thousand taels a year.
That was an enormous sum.
E̊ ǹ u̇m̀а̀ . і̆d́
With that amount, one could easily find geniuses who met the age requirement and had likewise broken through the limits of the human body.
For example, the top three among the Top Ten Outer Disciples had also cultivated peerless divine arts, and they had only obtained Grade One Sponsorship.

There was no such thing as a free lunch.
"Miss Gu, tell me your conditions."
Gu Ying fell silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Since Young Master Zhang comes from Clear Spring Prefecture, you presumably know what happened to my Gu Family?"
Zhang Su nodded.
E ń ü mа̌.іd̊
"So I have only one request. Once Young Master Zhang advances into the inner sect and possesses sufficient strength, you must kill Jiang Kui and Zhou Sandao."
"As long as Young Master Zhang agrees, we can sign this sponsorship agreement immediately."
Zhang Su understood.
So that was the reason after all.

"Then why doesn't Miss Gu use this money to hire an expert to hunt down Jiang Kui and Zhou Sandao? Sixty thousand taels of silver a year should be enough to hire a powerful expert, shouldn't it?"
Zhang Su asked.
Ӗňů m а̇
"Jiang Kui is no ordinary martial artist. He is infamous throughout the martial world. Many Inner Force experts have tried to kill him, yet none have succeeded. Finding a martial artist guaranteed to kill Jiang Kui is extremely difficult."
"Moreover, this Grade One Sponsorship agreement is timely aid for Young Master. If I can use it to establish a good relationship with you, it will also greatly benefit my Gu Family. To be frank, my family's current situation isn't very good. Besides taking revenge, we also need a powerful expert capable of deterring those with malicious intentions."
"So when President Yan told me about Young Master Zhang's circumstances, I decided to take a gamble. I'm betting that Young Master Zhang will definitely advance into the inner sect and enjoy limitless prospects in the future!"
Gu Ying spoke earnestly.
"Miss Gu is certainly candid..."
Zhang Su considered it for a moment.

"Very well."
He agreed.
Once he possessed enough strength, he would simply kill Jiang Kui.
That was not a major problem.
And Grade One Sponsorship meant five thousand taels of silver every month, an enormous sum.
With this sponsorship, Zhang Su would no longer need to worry about cultivation resources before entering the inner sect.
Е̊ṅ û m̄а̂ .і́ d
Zhang Su immediately picked up the brush and wrote down his name.
The agreement was established!

"Young Master Zhang, here are five thousand taels of silver. From now on, this amount will be delivered at the beginning of every month!"
Gu Ying had her maid hand over five thousand taels in banknotes.
Zhang Su accepted them.
"According to the agreement, if the Gu Family encounters trouble, you may ask me for assistance. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will not refuse."
Е̊ n̈u ma . і̃ d̀
"Then many thanks, Young Master."
Zhang Su put away the agreement and immediately rose to leave.
After watching Zhang Su and Du Tian depart, Yan Bo looked at Gu Ying. "Miss Gu truly has courage, offering Grade One Sponsorship right away. That's sixty thousand taels a year. You could actually have started with Grade Two Sponsorship, then increased the amount after Zhang Su truly advanced into the inner sect..."
Gu Ying shook her head. "If I wait until Zhang Su truly advances into the inner sect, then no matter how much I offer, it will merely be adding flowers to brocade. Adding flowers to brocade is easy. Offering coal in the snow is difficult. If I want revenge, I can only offer coal in the snow."

Yan Bo nodded.
In truth, this sponsorship carried considerable risk.
Е́.n̄ u.mă .і̊d̀
What if Zhang Su failed to advance into the inner sect?
Or what if he spent many years struggling before finally producing inner force? Then Gu Ying's entire sponsorship would have been wasted.
But how could sponsorship ever be without risk?
Gu Ying bore a blood feud and had to support the enormous Gu Family alone.
She desperately wanted a powerful ally!
In the past, those true geniuses had countless sponsors.

Even under identical terms, or even if she offered more silver than others, they still might not choose her.
After all, sponsorship was a two-way choice.
"This time, I must thank President Yan for notifying me immediately..."
With a wave of Gu Ying's hand, her maid presented an exquisite wooden box.
A smile appeared on Yan Bo's face.
He had informed no one else and gone directly to Gu Ying precisely because she had promised him various benefits.

Now that the benefits were in hand, he was quite satisfied.

"Du Tian, you head back first. I'm going to the Technique Transmission Pavilion."
"All right."
Zhang Su parted ways with Du Tian.
First, Zhang Su deposited all five thousand taels of silver into his identity plaque.
W ё b n̈о v̇ ėl̃ Ѐnu m̃ а̀
The silver became five thousand contribution points.
Then he headed straight for the Technique Transmission Pavilion.
After entering the Technique Transmission Pavilion, Zhang Su made his way familiarly to the shelves containing sword arts.
He had already thought it through. His compatibility with the Basic Sword Art was the highest.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
That meant he was naturally suited to swordsmanship.
If he was going to choose a peerless martial technique, his first choice would naturally be a sword art.
Еn̄ ùmа . ì d
The Technique Transmission Pavilion indeed possessed many sword arts, and consequently, it also held quite a few peerless sword arts.
Zhang Su examined the various peerless sword arts one by one.
"Spring Breeze Turns to Rain Sword Art, compatibility 15%."
"Thunderclap Sword Art, compatibility 23%."
"Wind-Riding Sword Art, compatibility 11%."
"Wave-Severing Sword Art, compatibility 25%."

Zhang Su examined all kinds of peerless sword arts.
Their compatibility was actually fairly decent.
Many of them exceeded 20%.
However, Zhang Su was in no hurry to choose.
He needed to examine every peerless sword art first.
He wanted to select the peerless sword art with the highest compatibility.
Е n̂ùm̊.a .і̆d
After the time it took an incense stick to burn, Zhang Su finished examining all the peerless sword arts.
He had already made his decision.

"Light-Shadow Killing Sword, compatibility 35%."
This sword art had the highest compatibility.
However, this sword art was also very unusual.
In theory, it was a fast sword art.
W̌ ēbn о v е l̂ Еn ù m а.
It emphasized killing with a single strike.
But it was extremely difficult to cultivate.
One had to combine the sword art with the surrounding environment, making proper use of light, shadows, and other surrounding conditions.
That was why it was called the Light-Shadow Killing Sword.

"You're the one!"
Zhang Su was not worried about the Light-Shadow Killing Sword being too difficult.
Е̊n u ḿа.i.d̊
After all, he had eight Compatibility Points.
He only needed seven Compatibility Points to raise the Light-Shadow Killing Sword's compatibility to 100%. Once that happened, the Light-Shadow Killing Sword would definitely reach Perfection.
Difficulty was no problem whatsoever for Zhang Su.
Thus, Zhang Su immediately went to the Technique Transmission Pavilion elder to exchange for this peerless sword art.
"Elder, this disciple wishes to exchange for a martial technique."
"Hand it over."

Zhang Su took out his identity plaque.
"This disciple wishes to exchange for the Light-Shadow Killing Sword."
"Hm?"
The elder raised his head slightly, his gaze settling on Zhang Su.
"You want to exchange for the Light-Shadow Killing Sword?"
"Yes."
Е n ü m̀ а́
The elder fell silent.
"Among Qi and Blood Realm sword arts, this peerless sword art is considered one of the most difficult. Are you certain you want to exchange for it?"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
"I'm certain."
The elder stopped trying to dissuade him.
The Light-Shadow Killing Sword was a peerless martial technique and required one thousand contribution points to exchange for.
After making the exchange, Zhang Su went directly to a cultivation room.
Ŵе́ bń_о v̄ е̇l̆ Ĕn ûm̊а̊_
Watching Zhang Su's departing back, the elder shook his head and sighed softly. "Another one... Over all these years, even if there haven't been a thousand outer disciples who exchanged for the Light-Shadow Killing Sword, there have been at least eight hundred. Yet not a single one has ever cultivated it to Major Mastery..."
If a peerless martial technique could not even reach Major Mastery, then one would be better off cultivating a top tier martial technique instead.
He had some impression of Zhang Su.
Zhang Su had once cultivated the Great River Divine Art but failed to produce qi and blood.

He had wasted an entire year for nothing.
The elder had thought Zhang Su would change after suffering that setback. Unexpectedly, he was still just as stubborn, refusing to turn back until he smashed into the wall.
Е̌ñů m̌ а .і̆ d
Now Zhang Su had exchanged for the Light-Shadow Killing Sword. Who knew how much more time he would waste this time...
