God-Like Extraction Chapter 89 – No Rush

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

How much power can the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist unleash with 60 years of true energy cultivation?

Su Jingxing decided to give it a try.

“Brother Goose, I’ll catch up with you later.”

With that, Su Jingxing stood up and executed the Eight Steps Rising Dragon. Driven by his true energy, he leaped into the air.

Thump!

He released his true energy externally and executed the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist. A fist imprint was formed with lightning speed and pushed forward.

With a muffled thud, the fist imprint broke through the air and flew 40 to 50 meters straight ahead, exploding in midair.

Energy surged, a whirlwind raged, stirring up large amounts of air currents.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Without pausing, he continued punching.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed in the valley.

In the valley, all kinds of animals and poisonous creatures were terrified and fled into hiding.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

His body was like a swimming dragon, and his punches were like violent winds.

Wherever Su Jingxing went, the air was in chaos, and large waves of energy danced wildly.

There wasn’t much worldly energy to begin with. With a series of explosions, it drifted further away.

First, it was three years of true energy cultivation, then five years, ten years, twenty years…

The offensive power of each stage was tested.

When he stopped, the airflow and energy in the air above the valley was chaotic, surging endlessly chaotic like boiling oil.

Swoosh!

Su Jingxing descended from the sky and returned to the platform at the end of the steep slope. He carefully savored the feeling of this punching practice.

Firstly, there was no doubt about the might of the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist. A casual punch was comparable to an ordinary bomb.

Secondly, the consumption of true energy, to Su Jingxing’s surprise, was extremely large.

Only after activating ten years of true energy cultivation could he unleash twice the power.

With 30 years, its power would increase by five times.

When he unleashed his full power, with 60 years of true energy cultivation, the power increased by seven times.

Su Jingxing estimated that it would take about 150 years of true energy cultivation to increase the might by ten times.

If 20 times, at least 400 years!

Only 400 years of true energy cultivation could increase it by 20 times.

One could only imagine how many years of true energy cultivation was needed to boost the strength by a hundred times.

“It seems that if I want to unleash the true power of the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist, I have to reach the third-grade!” Su Jingxing murmured.

A third-grade martial artist’s true energy would have completely turned into true essence.

In the nine grades of martial arts.

Ninth-grade, eighth-grade and seventh-grade were the lower ranks. The power that they circulate was internal force.

Sixth-grade, fifth-grade, and fourth-grade were the middle ranks. The energy they channel was true energy.

Third-grade, second-grade, and first-grade were top ranks. At this stage, the energy used was true essence.

True essence was the liquefied form of true energy, a transformation from quantity to quality.

To be very detailed, true energy is born in the sixth-grade.

When true energy turns into mist and does not dissipate after being released externally for a long time, that would be the fifth-grade.

When true energy produces liquid and begins to nourish the mind, that was fourth-grade.

From sixth-grade to fourth-grade, it was a step-by-step process. No shortcuts can be taken.

Once taken, it would be very difficult to advance to third-grade.

This was because from the fourth-grade to the third-grade, it was not only a complete transformation of true energy into true essence, but also the birth of Martial Art True Intent.

And the condensation of Martial Art True Intent required the support of a powerful mental strength.

It was extremely difficult to improve one’s mental strength. Even though there were many treasures that could aid in doing so, most of the time, it was nourished by true fluid.

True fluid is the state when true energy has yet to completely transform into true essence.

In other words, when moving from fourth-grade into third-grade, the conversion of true energy into true essence and the condensation of Martial Art True Intent had to be carried out simultaneously.

Therefore, if one wishes to enter the third-grade, the more solid his foundation was built in the sixth-grade, the better.

The Ethereal Sword Immortal specially emphasized this point three times.

She said that there were many martial artists with outstanding talent who were eager for success.

From sixth-grade to fifth-grade, fifth-grade to fourth-grade, they moved very quickly.

With a large amount of resources and advanced true energy internal exercises, they went through these two stages within three years.

After that, they became stuck at fourth-grade for decades, and even at the time of their death, they had not advanced to third-grade.

The main reason was because their foundation was not stable.

It was like the construction of a building.

If the foundation is average, and the ground floor is made of ordinary bricks, how can a tall building of 50 to 60 floors be constructed?

The transformation from true energy to true essence was a qualitative change, requiring a long period of accumulation and careful polishing.

Otherwise, given Su Jingxing’s current 60 years of true energy cultivation, with the might of the Nine Steps Heaven Trampling, he would be able to advance to the fourth-grade after a few months in retreat.

The question is what is the use of such a fourth-grade?

Su Jingxing also wanted to go to the land of peril mentioned by the Wei Family’s ancestors and see what kind of treasure could allow a martial artist to move beyond first-grade and advance to the Transcendent-grade.

He did not want to be stuck in the fourth-grade for decades, not even for more than ten years.

…

“It is indeed good to make a breakthrough through repeated tempering of high-level true energy internal exercise.”

“But wouldn’t it be better if I could use the accumulated true essence from a vast amount of true energy to advance my cultivation?”

Su Jingxing narrowed his eyes, feeling tempted.

Other people relied on consuming large quantities of pills to raise their true energy cultivation, hiding in places filled with worldly energy, and cultivating day and night.

Su Jingxing was different. He had a cheat ability.

There was a high chance of extracting the True Energy Card from the corpses of any martial artist in the middle ranks.

For example, Su Jingxing had not used the True Energy Card with eight years of cultivation that he had extracted from Elder Zhu.

Once the card was unlocked, Su Jingxing’s true energy cultivation would be 68 years.

He kept it and didn’t unlock it. It was to be used as a backup.

For this reason, Su Jingxing had no lack of true energy. If he could use a vast amount of true energy to complete the conversion to essence, then entering the third-grade should be very easy.

With these thoughts in mind, Su Jingxing decided to give it a try. At the same time, he restrained his aura.

“Ga ga~”

The big white goose, who had been waiting for a long time, sensed that Su Jingxing had returned to his normal state. It flapped its wings and cried out.

Su Jingxing listened for a moment and said in surprise, “Brother Goose, are you saying that there are two other places that are very suitable for me just like this valley? Can you bring me to those two places?”

“Ga ga~” The big white goose raised its neck and nodded.

“…”

“Alright.” With a surprised smile, Su Jingxing said apologetically, “It’s my fault. I forgot there were other places where I could cultivate. Thankfully, you came in time. Brother Goose, I’m sorry!”

It was not easy to gather worldly energy. Once entirely absorbed, it would be very difficult for it to regenerate.

The valley was the home of the big white goose. It naturally did not want it to become an ordinary valley.

After Su Jingxing apologized, the big white goose quickly recovered. It flapped its wings and honked, wanting to bring Su Jingxing to the other two places that were filled with worldly energy.

“No rush.” Su Jingxing smiled and said, “There’s no hurry. I have something here that I need your help with.”

“Ga ga~” The big white goose flapped its wings, signaling Su Jingxing to speak freely.

“Thank you in advance.”

Su Jingxing took out an Essence Energy Pill and fed it to the goose. Then, he talked and gestured for the big white goose to glow.

After the big white goose swallowed the pill, it stretched its body in satisfaction and released a silvery white glow.

Swoosh!

The silvery-white glow brightened up the night.

Su Jingxing took out the little wooden sword and exposed it to the light.

A series of clear patterns appeared!
