Chapter 88 : Overjoyed
Night.
Su Jingxing returned home from work. After dinner, he took out the Deduction Card.
At present, Su Jingxing had three martial arts that were worth deducing and perfecting.
The Seven Steps Fist, Colossal Divine Dagger, and Three Origins Saber Art.
Amongst them, the Seven Steps Fist was the most flawed and dangerous.
The Colossal Divine Dagger, with Saber Control with Energy and Saber Control with the Mind, was the most difficult and had the lowest success rate.
Comparatively, the chances of successfully completing the Earth Origin volume of the Three Origins Saber Art was higher because he already had half of the mental cultivation method.
But after some thought, Su Jingxing decided to deduce the Seven Steps Fist.
For no other reason, but because he had been using this fist technique with restrained strength right now. If he were to unleash it with all his strength, the damage done to his body would be too great.
Having made up his mind, Su Jingxing unlocked the Deduction Card. A burst of light suddenly bloomed and enveloped his body.
Su Jingxing felt his body warm up and his consciousness came to a blank world.
Seemingly sensing something, he executed the Seven Steps Fist.
All of a sudden, figures appeared above his head, beneath his feet, in front of him and to his left and right. The figure was moving and punching.
The Seven Steps Fist’s moves and mental cultivation techniques were fully unleashed, extending from all directions.
Miraculously, even though Su Jingxing had unleashed his full strength, nothing went wrong with his body.
In this blank world, the flaws of Seven Steps Fist seemed to have disappeared.
Then, with all the “Su Jingxings” punching around, the flow of time in the entire world was suddenly accelerated.
Close to ten thousand changes to the various possible extensions of the Seven Steps Fist appeared in an instant.
The more changes there were, the faster the images were refreshed.
When the images stopped moving, Su Jingxing received the first deduction result.
Failure!
Not discouraged, Su Jingxing continued his second deduction.
The surrounding images were swiftly refreshed.
When they stopped…
“Success?”
Su Jingxing, who suddenly gained a ball of information in his brain, subconsciously moved his hands and feet and executed a brand new fist technique.
“Hundred Steps Reigning Fist!”
This was the name of the new fist technique, derived from the Seven Steps Fist.
Su Jingxing, who was reading the description, comprehended it carefully and realized that the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist was without the flaws of the Seven Steps Fist and also even more powerful.
The Seven Steps Fist could at most unleash a punch with seven times of his strength, but Hundred Steps Reigning Fist was a hundred times!
However, the Seven Steps Fist consumed physical strength while the Hundred Steps King Fist consumed true energy.
As long as one’s true energy was sufficient, the strength of one’s punch would be multiplied. 10 times, 20 times, 30 times…
Till a maximum of 100!
The distance of the punch when it was released could similarly reach a hundred steps away.
A hundred steps, not a hundred meters.
The external release distance of this fist technique was calculated based on Su Jingxing’s steps.
When an ordinary person took a step forward, it was indeed about a meter’s distance.
However, martial artists could do more, ranging between two to five meters covered per step.
Such a wide step didn’t mean that a martial artist’s legs were especially long, but rather, it was the distance that could be covered with the strength exerted when a step was made.
It was similar to the combination of standing long jump and crossing hurdles. It was a kind of extreme footwork after the explosion of full-body strength.
For example, Su Jingxing could take three meters with one step and five meters, if he uses his full strength.
With this stride, when he executes the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist, his punch could reach as far as 500 meters.
Advanced martial arts.
Without a doubt, the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist was two levels higher than the Seven Steps Fist.
He managed to deduce a martial art like the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist with his second deduction. He was indeed very lucky.
After a short rest, Su Jingxing calmed himself down and started his third deduction.
He would deduce the Earth Origin volume of the Three Origins Saber Art to complete it based on what was already available.
In the end… he failed.
There was no disappointment or dejection to speak of. Su Jingxing, whose consciousness had returned to his body, was already mentally prepared.
After three tries, he had gotten the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist. He had made a killing.
This new fist technique was derived from the Seven Steps Fist. The moves were all the same, but the method of exerting force and the source of the punching force had been changed.
Su Jingxing came to the courtyard and practiced a few times. He successfully mastered the new fist technique and reached the Advanced level.
Moving on, it would be the technique of using true energy.
Su Jingxing was already very satisfied to be able to reach the Advanced level so quickly.
The later half of the night.
Su Jingxing was familiarizing himself with the new fist technique in the courtyard. He practiced repeatedly, constantly experiencing the utilization of true energy.
He only stopped when dawn arrived.
Then, he went back to his room to take a shower, changed into his newly bought clothes, and set off for the Green Cloud Mountain Range.
Familiar with the route, he climbed over the thousand-meter cliff to reach the platform at the end of the steep slope where he broke through to the sixth-grade.
Su Jingxing did not enter the valley to disturb the big white goose. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the empty space on the platform and took out his Martial Arts Practice Card to practice the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven.
Unlocking the card, he entered the Martial Arts Practice Space and began circulating the mental cultivation technique of the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven.
When the Martial Arts Practice Space collapsed and his consciousness returned to his body, Su Jingxing stabilized his mind slightly. Then, he executed the Nine Steps Heaven Trampling again and found that his mastery of this martial art had reached the sixth level.
The Nine Steps of Heaven Trampling contained nine levels. After cultivating day and night for 20 years, he had reached the sixth level.
Su Jingxing didn’t know what to say about this speed.
He thought about it for a moment, then tossed it to the back of his mind, refusing to think about it.
The sixth level of the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven could be considered decent.
Su Jingxing took a deep breath and circulated the Nine Steps Heaven Trampling with his full strength to absorb the worldly energy in the valley.
Hu! Hu!
As soon as he started, the air currents around him were driven by an invisible force and started to rapidly circle around him.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
Mountain winds swept through the area, howling through the universe.
The airflow around Su Jingxing became faster and faster, and the rotation became increasingly stronger.
The air currents quickly turned into vortexes that could be seen with the naked eye. They surrounded Su Jingxing’s body and gradually became a whirlwind.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Above the valley, the whirlwind grew larger and larger.
The strands of worldly energy that pervaded the valley were forcibly pulled away from their original position and rushed into the sky, gathering above Su Jingxing’s head.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
Strong winds howled, and energy spiraled like a dragon absorbing water.
The Heaven Trampling True Energy in Su Jingxing’s dantian rapidly grew.
Under the circulation of the Nine Steps Heaven Trampling, wisps of worldly energy transformed into Heaven Trampling True Energy and was stored within his Dantian.
One year, two years, three years…
The amount of true energy that was being generated continued to increase.
From morning to afternoon, from afternoon to night.
The amount of worldly energy in the valley gradually decreased, while the Heaven Trampling True Energy in Su Jingxing’s dantian gradually grew.
The large white goose came honking and flew down from the sky, landing on the platform. It jumped up and down to get Su Jingxing to stop the absorption. By then, worldly energy in the valley had already become extremely thin.
Su Jingxing, who had stopped circulating the exercise, could not be bothered to greet the big white goose. He checked the true energy in his dantian.
He could not help but be overjoyed, his face full of smiles.
More than 50 years!
Circulating the Nine Steps Heaven Trampling with all his might, coupled with tyrannical absorption, his true energy cultivation was increased by more than 50 years.
Together with the initial nine years, he was only a little short of sixty years.
At this point, Su Jingxing immediately unlocked the Internal Force Card and converted the internal force into Heaven Trampling True Energy.
In the end, he successfully achieved 60 years of true energy cultivation!
