God-Like Extraction Chapter 187 – Fortune Comes With Risk

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Skill Card contained a martial art.

It was He Lieren’s most outstanding ultimate technique when he was alive.

It could release true energy and evolve into a clone to guide, disperse, and deceive others.

The 36 Alterations of a Thousand Transformations.

That was the name of the martial art.

$u Jingxing browsed through the contents quickly. When he realized that it was a complete secret manual, he couldn’t help but feel comforted.

He didn’t manage to extract any Memory Cards, but acquiring an ultimate supportive art was pretty good too.

He was in no hurry to unlock the card.

After all, it wasn’t suitable to be cultivated outside.

And the time wasn’t right as well.

$u Jingxing took out his phone and made an anonymous call to the crematorium. He told the customer service the address of this place and asked for a team to come clean up the mess.

After ending the call, he sprang into the sky and headed straight for his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

Back home.

After freshening up, Su Jingxing took out the Skill Card, unlocked it and obtained the complete version of the 36 Alterations of a Thousand Transformations.

He silently recited the entire volume in his mind. Moments later, he began to comprehend the martial principles within.

Su Jingxing’s martial arts talent was mediocre to begin with, and he had difficulty understanding martial arts that were slightly more profound.

If he was stuck with understanding, he naturally wouldn’t be able to cultivate them.

But things were different now.

After two substantial boosts of soul power, his perception, comprehension ability, memory, comprehension ability, logic, and so on had all been upgraded.

Even though there wasn’t a direct causation between strong soul power and good comprehension ability, powerful soul power was providential in deepening and strengthening one’s comprehension ability.

The 36 Alterations of a Thousand Transformations was a profound martial art.

In the past, Su Jingxing could only watch the show. If he wanted to cultivate them, he would have to rely on the Martial Arts Practice Card.

But now, in less than an hour, Su Jingxing had comprehended almost everything.

‘When it was almost dawn, he had already mastered the basics of the 36 Alterations of a Thousand Transformations.

Hu!

A ball of Heaven Trampling True Energy was released, swirling around the room.

‘When it stopped moving around, it continued spinning in a spot, twisting and turning.

At first, it formed an energy pillar, but gradually, the pillar turned into a cylinder, and slowly, the cylinder turned into a human with four limbs.

At the beginning, the limbs weren’t obvious, but they gradually became clearer.

The head, waist, palms, and feet followed.

Finally, the facial features, eyes, nose, ears, and mouth were carved out bit by bit.

‘When everything came to a stop, a silvery-black, translucent clone that had the same height, build, and facial features as Su Jingxing stood motionless on the ground.

Success.

Bam!

With a loud explosion, his true energy clone burst apart, transforming into countless strands of energy that stirred up a gust of air in the room. The wind stirred the pages and curtains, making them flap.

He failed?

No, it was still a success.

To be able to create a true energy manifestation meant success.

The reason why the explosion happened so soon was because Su Jingxing was only in the introductory stage.

It had only been a few hours, but he had already formed a true energy manifestation. It was impressive enough that it could last a few seconds.

Subsequently, as long as he cultivated diligently and reached the level where he could work freely, the amount of true energy manifestations he could produce would definitely increase, and so would the duration they last for.

Su Jingxing didn’t have high expectations. Three true energy clones were enough for his use.

36 Alterations of a Thousand Transformations.

This meant that he could condense as many as 36 clones!

Ci En Building.

In the top-floor office.

“So, who took the Flying Lion Ring in the end?” asked Lu Chen anxiously, looking at an expressionless middle-aged man expectantly.

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” Lu Chen glared at him. “What kind of answer is that? How could you not know?”

“I don’t know means I don’t know,” said the middle-aged man coldly, maintaining his poker face. “The ring was in Han Shilong’s hand at the very beginning, But, Han Shishu was defeated by Di Donglei, and then Di Donglei was wounded by the Seventh Young Master of the Chen Family. The Seventh Young

Master was then defeated by the mysterious man, and the mysterious man was defeated by the Tenth Master of the Chen Family.”

“In the end, the Chen Family members left, and the ring was taken away by the mysterious man. However, on the way back, the mysterious man was attacked by another person again. He self-destructed on the southern bank of the Sky Water River. The crematorium’s Corpse Collection Team cleaned him

up.

“As for the ring that was taken away, there wasn’t anything left at the scene. The assailant had taken it away.”

“What is this? All for nothing?”

After opening his mouth for a while, Lu Chen scratched his head in frustration and stomped his feet. “Does that mean we’ve wasted all our efforts to benefit others?”

‘The middle-aged man remained expressionless and did not continue on the topic.

“Even if you obtain this half of the Flying Lion Ring, you won’t be able to awaken the Flying Lions immediately,” a clear, masculine voice sounded.

Ina corner of the office, behind a wide desk, a handsome man in a white suit was sipping from a glass of transparent beverage.

He began leisurely, “I’ve said a long time ago, you have no chance of controlling the Flying Lion Ring, but you refused to believe me. You insisted on getting involved and secretly dealing with the Divine Fist Sect. How’s it? Have you gotten a taste of what it’s like?

“There are some things that we can try to pursue. For example, if a pretty girl catches your eye, you have to woo her.

“But some things can’t be forced. For example, if a pretty girl is already married. It won’t be right for you to force yourself on her.

“In doing so, not only will the losses outweigh the gains, you might even pay with life!

“Tknew one man who forced himself on someone’s wife, and her husband found out about it. At first, the husband didn’t blow up, but he kept waiting for an opportunity. Oh yes, the husband was just an ordinary person who wasn’t gifted in martial arts. However, he had a PhD in chemistry and secretly

produced explosives. After three months of waiting, he detonated the explosives and perished with the culprit.

“That’s the lesson we have to learn. It tells us that we must not underestimate anyone.

“You got off easy this time. You merely failed to get the Flying Lion Ring but you weren’t injured.

“Oh, wait. If [hadn’t stopped you from going last night, it’s highly likely that you would’ve been dead by now.

“Therefore, I suggest you drop the idea. I was around this time, but you won’t be so lucky next time.

“If you die, I won’t be able to hit on girls with your parents nagging at me every day.”

“Third Uncle, can you pick a better topic?” asked Lu Chen helplessly.

“Was that not good enough?” asked the handsome man, raising his eyebrows. “Do you think I would be so patient as to analyze the situation and reason with another person?”

“Fine, thank you,” sighed Lu Chen.

‘The handsome man was Lu Chen’s uncle, his father’s youngest brother——Lu Wuchang.

In Ci En Bank, the capital, and the Lu Family, Lu Wuchang was well known.

At 38, he was already a third-grade martial artist.

To those who didn’t know the details, Lu Wuchang was a martial arts genius who had advanced to the third-grade at a young age.

However, to those who knew the truth, Lu Wuchang was an oddball.

Despite his mediocre talent, breaking through realms was as easy as drinking water.

Once the time was up and he had accumulated enough, he would make a breakthrough at any time without any bottlenecks.

‘Asa result, Lu Wuchang spent his days fooling around and wooing pretty girls. However, he progressed faster than his peers or even the older generation.

And that wasn’t the most special thing about him.

‘What made Lu Wuchang special, strange, and odd was the fact that he had an almost god-like ability.

Intuition!

Terrifying intuition that was prophetic.

As long as he wanted to, he could foretell the fortunes of himself and others, as well as the accuracy of certain events and predictability of certain outcomes.

In the eyes of the Lu Family, Lu Wuchang’s breakthrough was without bottlenecks, not because of his talent, but because of his terrifying intuition.

He could always try to make a breakthrough at the most appropriate time and place.

This ability had saved Lu Wuchang from many life-and-death crises, as well as many of the Lu Family’s troubles.

It was for this reason that Lu Chen had begged him for a long time before finally getting Lu Wuchang to come to Qinghe City to help him search for the four ancient manuals that would open the entrance to the Mausoleum of Prince Qin.

After learning about the Flying Lions, he begged Lu Wuchang for help in obtaining the Flying Lion Ring.

To his surprise, Lu Wuchang was never optimistic about Lu Chen’s chances of obtaining the Flying Lion Ring and opening the Mausoleum of Prince Qin.

Lu Chen encountered several setbacks in his venture and Lu Wuchang had hit the nail on the head for every one.

No matter how indignant Lu Chen was, there was nothing he could do.

“Third Uncle, in your opinion, who would get the Flying Lion Ring in the end?” asked Lu Chen.

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” asked Lu Chen, the corner of his lips twitching.

“How would I know?” said Lu Wuchang, rolling his eyes. “Do you take me for an omniscient god who knows everything?”

“But I thought your instincts were always accurate,” Lu Chen responded with a smile.

“Like you said, it’s instinct.” Lu Wuchang took a sip of his beverage and resumed his leisurely manner. “Intuition is disorderly, unknown, and chaotic. No one can predict its outcome accurately. The only reason I know about it is because of some mysterious guidance—a guidance that targets me, myself,

or anyone related to me.

“Lwouldn’t have known about it if it were about anyone or anything else. Even if for a matter that has something to do with me, it’s not always accurate. In your eyes, all my life has been smooth sailing, and I’ve never suffered anything…”

“Isn’t that true?” murmured Lu Chen.

“Shut up,” cursed Lu Wuchang irritably. “Isn’t that true? True your ass! Let me tell you this, kid. I could overcome every crisis because no matter what I encountered, I always chose to retreat, endure, and hide for the time being.

“To put it bluntly, as long as you don’t get hot-headed and seek your own death, and remain calm in the face of trouble, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

“Really?” asked Lu Chen doubtfully.

“It’s up to you whether you want to believe me or not,” snapped Lu Wuchang. “Anyway, if you have nothing else to do, you can leave Qinghe now. Staying here would only be a waste of time.”

“But I refuse to accept this!”

Lu Chen sighed. “I didn’t get a single of the four ancient books that can open the entrance of the Mausoleum of Prince Qin. I didn’t even get a half of the Flying Lion Ring either. I’m so indignant.”

“How dramatic!”

Lu Wuchang commented disdainfully. “You’re indignant? So what if you’re indignant? Let me tell you something. All four of the ancient manuals have fallen into the hands of one person. Just give up and…”

“Wait!”

Lu Chen jerked his head up and stared at Lu Wuchang with shining eyes.

“What?” asked Lu Wuchang, glaring at him.

Lu Chen took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, “Third Uncle, what did you just say? The four ancient manuals have fallen into the hands of one person? Are you sure? Are you sure?”

“Tm not sure, but I’m certain,” said Lu Wuchang with a confident smile.

“What do you mean?” asked Lu Chen. He ran over, grabbed a wheeled chair and scooted to Lu Wuchang’s side.

“Firstly, it’s my intuition. Secondly, it’s my guess after a lot of analysis.”

Lu Wuchang chuckled. “The person who revealed the secret that the four ancient manuals contain the map to the entrance to the Mausoleum of Prince Qin must have been up to no good. There are so many factions who want the treasures in the Mausoleum of Prince Qin. So many people are searching for

it and gathering in Qinghe City. Among them, there must be someone who possessed one or two of the four ancient manuals from the very beginning.

“The two manuals kept by Xuantian University then also happened to be stolen. So many people were looking for them, but they couldn’t find any leads. This means that the two ancient manuals also fell into someone’s hands.

“Think about it. From the very beginning, if he had one or two from the start, together with the two stolen from Xuantian University, doesn’t that add up to a total of four?”

Lu Wuchang narrowed his eyes and pondered. “Since he has all four ancient manuals, if I’m not mistaken, this person is already preparing to open the entrance to the Mausoleum of Prince Qin. There hasn’t been any news until now, so he’s probably waiting!”

“Wait?” asked Lu Chen, stunned. “For what?”

“Timing!”

Lu Wuchang smiled confidently. “If I’m right, a specific location and time is required to open the Mausoleum of Prince Qin!”

“Well…” said Lu Chen, gaping in shock and excitement.” Isn’t that even better?!”

“Since the other party is waiting, we can wait too.”

said Lu Chen excitedly. “Opening the Mausoleum of Prince Qin will definitely cause quite a stir, right? In the coming days, as long as we pay attention to every corner of Qinghe City, and rush over once we notice anything amiss, wouldn’t that allow us to get a ride with the other party into the Mausoleum

of Prince Qin?”

“No!”

Lu Wuchang blurted out.

“Why not?” asked Lu Chen indignantly.

“No means no!”

Lu Wuchang glared at him. “My instincts tell me that you’re sure to die if you go!”

“It… can’t be?”

Lu Chen shrank his neck and laughed dryly. “Don’t scare me, Third Uncle.”

“It’s up to you whether you want to believe me or not,” said Lu Wuchang, crossing his legs. “In any case, you’ll die if you go. After you die, I’ll just stay out of Yu Nation for a few years. Wooing girls out there is the same.”

He had nothing else to say.

‘The yearning in his heart, or rather, the desire was not extinguished.

The treasure in the Mausoleum of Prince Qin, one that allowed one to advance to the third-grade.

His desire for that wouldn’t go out that easily.

Besides, fortune comes with risk. Without taking risks, how could there be riches?!

In the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

Strong winds howled and spiraled.

Inside the house, three balls of true energy were twisting and swaying.

Slowly, slowly, they transformed into a manifestation that entirely resembled Su Jingxing in terms of height and facial features.

With a thought, Su Jingxing’s three clones immediately separated and scurried around the house and courtyard.

They turned corners, sprinted, or jumped.

Five minutes later —

Pa! Pa! Pa!

The three clones exploded one after another and dissipated into three gusts of wind.

“It worked!”

Su Jingxing clenched his fists and smiled.

In half a month, without the help of the Martial Arts Practice Card, he successfully cultivated the 36 Alterations of a Thousand Transformations to the level where he could use it with ease.

‘The three true energy clones could last for five minutes.

He had achieved his goal.

The next step was to open the Mausoleum of Prince Qin.

Half a month had passed, and it was the night of the full moon again!
