That’s right, it was not a 100% success rate. There was only a 10% chance.
To be honest, this probability was a little low.
However, the ability of the Deduction Card moved Su Jing.
He did not know why the card he extracted from Yu Shengmou was a Deduction Card.
He only knew that he had hit the jackpot this time.
Deduction, deduction.
Once any martial art was successfully deduced, it would be a new martial art, with no repercussions.
Once such martial arts were cultivated, Su Jingxing would be the foundation.
Because he was the first to cultivate it.
Not to mention the ability to remove drawbacks.
Although there was only half of the mental cultivation technique in the Earth Origin section of the Three Origins Saber Art, compared to the Seven Steps Fist, at least there were no side effects.
The Seven Steps Fist was different.
This ultimate art of the Wei Family actually concealed a very big flaw.
The higher the level of mastery, the greater explosive the power of the punch, the greater the damage done to the body!
The Advanced level, combined with the strength of a few thousand to even ten thousand catties of strength, would increase the explosive power of a punch by seven times. With the limits of the human body, one could still withstand it.
But at Godlike Mastery, with 100,000 catties of strength, seven times of that would be 700,000 catties of strength. This strength was terrifying, but once the punch is made, the damage done to the body would also be extremely severe.
This was because the body cannot withstand the sudden eruption of power.
Even at the limits of the human body, one could only deliver one punch and there would be damage taken.
This was the shocking discovery that Su Jingxing had made when he used the Seven Steps Fist after attaining 100,000 catties of strength.
If he had unleashed seven times the power with a single punch regardless of the consequences, his body would definitely be in serious trouble afterwards.
Therefore, Su Jingxing could only take at most three steps with the Seven Steps Fist.
Any more would affect his body too much.
Wei Zhongting and his father had most likely died because they had overused the Seven Steps Fist.
This fist technique’s demand for physical body strength was simply too great.
The limits of the human body were far from enough, or perhaps one could only withstand it after a complete transformation.
Now that he had the Deduction Card, the situation was different.
The Deduction Card could remove this drawback of the Seven Steps Fist. When executed, the demands on the body would no longer be as high.
Of course, the actual situation still depended on the deduction results.
This Deduction Card could only be used three times, with a probability of 10% success each time.
Altogether, there was just a 30% chance of success, at least there was hope, right?
At this thought, Su Jingxing suppressed his excitement, put away the card and left the washroom.
He had to go home to do the deduction, the crematorium wasn’t the best place for that.
Speaking of which, Su Jingxing was very curious about why this sixth-grade martial artist, Yu Shengmou. Why is the card extracted from his body a Deduction Card?
The cards extracted by the cheat ability contain abilities that the extracted corpses had when they were alive.
He had not completely figured out the reasons behind the Martial Arts Practice Card and the Requiem Card. Now, there was another Deduction Card. What was the reasoning behind them?
Confused, Su Jingxing waited until he got off work. Back home, he turned on his computer and searched for Yu Shengmou’s life story before he found some clues.
Yu Shengmou, the owner of the White River Dojo, was a sixth-grade martial artist. He had extensive knowledge in martial arts and a lot of martial arts theories.
Especially with martial arts theories, he could be called a true genius.
The White River Dojo’s ultimate technique, White River Eight Trigrams Palm, was a powerful martial arts technique that he created after combining and repeatedly experimenting with various theories.
Mr. Yu even created a Eight Trigrams Disk containing martial arts theories. He welcomed all martial artists to observe and comprehend its subtlety and mysteries.
More than ten years ago, when the Eight Trigrams Disk was launched, it caused a sensation.
Every day, many people would come to White River Dojo to observe it.
In the end, in less than a week, nine martial artists went crazy and three martial artists died.
Fortunately, these 12 people did not have powerful backgrounds. Yu Shengde spent money to settle the matter.
However, this also scared the others, and they no longer dared to come.
At that time, the Commander of City Governance of the Martial Suppression Office had personally come to the dojo to take care of the Eight Trigrams Plate. He asked for Yu Shengmou to smash it.
Yu Shengmou was naturally unwilling. After a lot of persuasion, he finally put it away and placed it in his own house.
It was true that he was a genius. He had also researched martial arts theories very deeply. It was admirable.
However, in the end, martial arts theories were just theories and could not be cultivated.
To put it bluntly, it was Yu Shengmou’s fantasies and empty talk.
It was the same for the Eight Trigrams Disk.
Li Linzhou’s predecessor personally commented that while the martial arts theories contained in it were indeed exquisite and full of mysteries, upon closer inspection, they were all kinds of random conjectures. It was impossible to research them in detail.
If someone were to go deep into it, even if they weren’t forced to their death, they would be driven insane!
…
After reading Yu Shengmou’s life story, Su Jingxing more or less understood why the cheat ability had extracted the Deduction Card from Yu Shengmou’s corpse.
One sentence.
The ability of the Deduction Card was actually the summary and strengthened version of Yu Shengmou’s messy and random conjectures.
The cheat ability filtered out the unrealistic or wrong theories.
According to this rule, if a martial arts practitioner who has created his own martial arts were to die, there was a high chance that the cheat ability could extract the Deduction Card as well!
After coming to this conclusion, Su Jingxing was overjoyed. He was filled with curiosity about the Eight Trigrams Disk that Yu Shengmou left behind.
Strictly speaking, this Eight Trigrams Disk was also a treasure.
Ordinary warriors would either go mad or die if they delve deep into it.
But in the hands of genius martial artists, perhaps they could release its true charm.
“Go take a look?”
Su Jingxing’s eyes flickered.
After Yu Shengmou’s death, Yu Miaotong had most likely inherited the things he left behind.
Yu Miaotong had been charmed by Shi Yanfeng. There was a chance that she would give the Eight Trigrams Disk to Shi Yanfeng and let it fall into the hands of the Shi Family.
Or more straightforwardly, burnt.
After all, the Eight Trigrams Disk was very dangerous.
But if such a “treasure” were to be burned, it would be a huge loss.
Su Jingxing thought for a while and finally decided to go take a look. He had to take a few photos no matter what!
…
After making his decision, Su Jingxing immediately went out to buy a camera.
When he returned, he did more searching online and confirmed Yu Shengde’s residence.
Then, at dawn, he disguised himself as Yang Jian, put on his cloak and mask, and set off.
Yu Shengmou had no children or spouse. His parents had passed on early.
He lived in the backyard of the White River Dojo. Every day, after teaching his students and disciples, he would hide in his house and study all kinds of martial arts theories to entertain himself.
The Eight Trigrams Disk was most likely in his bedroom.
When Su Jingxing arrived at the White River Dojo, he activated Advanced Hearing and listened to his surroundings. After making sure that there was no one around, he flipped in and entered the inner courtyard.
He searched through the rooms one by one and soon found the Eight Trigrams Disk hanging on the wall.
It was a big roulette with a diameter of two meters. Other than the Eight Trigrams lines, there were all kinds of complicated patterns carved on it. There was also a human body acupoint chart, with text labels at all the important points. There were many small words squeezed together in a pile. Combined with the lines, they formed common points, making one theory.
Similar theories kept appearing and converging.
It was like a ring, crisscrossing, intertwining, and fusing together, connecting into a vast expanse. The sight had one dizzy, and mad.
Su Jingxing took a few glances before looking away, not daring to look again.
After a while, he took out her camera and aimed it at the disk, clicking away at the top, bottom, left and right.
It was almost time to leave.
However, right at this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly entered his ears.
Du Liangjing’s voice was also heard…
