Chapter 1092 Ever-Changing
Chen Xuan looked at Master Ma, not understanding.
Why dig nine pits, arranged in a nine-palace grid?
Master Ma explained, "Next, turn your back. I will randomly place a coin in one of the nine pits. You must deduce it using the Lesser Manifestation Technique."
Chen Xuan seemed to understand something, full of confidence, and smiled, "Bring it on!"
After speaking, he turned his back.
Master Ma took out a coin he had prepared beforehand from his pocket and placed it in the central pit.
After placing it, he said, "I've placed it. You can start calculating."
Chen Xuan put the Five Emperors' Coins into the tortoise shell, shook it slightly, and then the coins fell onto the altar cloth. He looked at the coins on the cloth, muttered a few words, and suddenly his expression became serious. He revealed a confident smile, as if he had already figured it out.
"Have you figured it out?"
"I have!"
"Which pit did I place the coin in?"
"The middle pit!"
After speaking, Chen Xuan turned around and indeed saw a coin placed in the middle pit, along with Master Ma's surprised face.
He smiled slightly, "It seems I calculated correctly!"
Master Ma, however, was full of astonishment. He sized Chen Xuan up and down, muttering, "You figured it out just like that?"
Back then, it took him half a month to barely achieve this level, yet Chen Xuan got it right on the first try. It was a complete talent crush. The Chen family truly were all abnormal, one more than the other.
"Don't celebrate too early. Let's continue."
Master Ma took a breath and said in a deep voice.
"Alright, let's continue."
Chen Xuan remained full of confidence.
Following that, Master Ma placed the coin in the first pit of the first row, then the third pit of the second row, and so on. He tried three or four times, and Chen Xuan calculated them all correctly.
Master Ma cursed inwardly.
This accursed talent!
"Master Ma, have I now completed your second condition?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.
This second condition was too easy.
But Master Ma shook his head and sneered, "You're dreaming! It's not that simple!"
Saying that, Master Ma took another coin out of his pocket. Including the previous one, that made two.
"What new trick are you playing now?" Chen Xuan frowned.
Master Ma said, "This time, I will place two coins into one pit, or separately into two pits. Let's see if you can guess."
Chen Xuan's expression turned grim, becoming extremely serious.
Although it was only one more coin, it added seventy-two variations, and the difficulty escalated by a whole level compared to before.
"Then let's continue."
Seeing Chen Xuan's expression, Master Ma chuckled.
Then Master Ma continued placing coins, and Chen Xuan continued to calculate using the Manifestation Technique. He calculated ten times in total, making only one mistake. His performance was quite good.
However, Chen Xuan frowned because he could already see that the Manifestation Technique was far more complex than he had imagined.
As expected, Master Ma took out a third coin with a smile, "Not bad. Although you made a mistake, you've barely passed. This time, we'll add another coin."
If another coin were added, it would become over seven hundred variations.
A drop of cold sweat trickled down Chen Xuan's forehead. He felt his mouth dry, and his eyes trembled.
Three coins, over seven hundred variations, Chen Xuan could still accept it. But if another coin was added, it would be over six thousand variations...
What if there were five coins?
That would be nearly sixty thousand variations...
And if it kept increasing to nine coins?
In an instant, Chen Xuan felt his head was about to explode. The variations would likely be in the hundreds of millions!
Was this the terrifying aspect of the Manifestation Technique?
Seeing the change in Chen Xuan's expression, Master Ma looked somewhat smug, "Don't just stand there blankly. Let's continue!"
As expected, with three coins, Chen Xuan's success rate was less than fifty percent.
With four coins, Chen Xuan's success rate was less than ten percent.
When it became five coins, Chen Xuan's success rate was a pitiful one percent...
Master Ma then crossed his legs and began to make sarcastic remarks, "Kid, your talent is good, but you still have a lot to practice. You should practice slowly."
After speaking, Master Ma took out the remaining coins from his pocket, a total of nine coins, and placed them on the table in front of Chen Xuan.
He patted his butt and left, "Ah, the maids at your house are so beautiful. I want to tell their fortunes. Their little white hands are so soft and fragrant..."
Master Ma left, and Chen Xuan looked at the nine coins on the table, his scalp tingling.
"Holy crap, how am I supposed to practice by myself?"
Chen Xuan took a breath and managed to calm down.
At this moment, he realized that he couldn't place the coins and calculate by himself. He turned his head and saw from a distance that Master Ma had already taken a little maid's white hand and was telling her fortune with a lewd expression.
This old geezer...
He shook his head helplessly.
Just then, a loud voice rang out, "Where is the son-in-law of the Su family?"
Chen Xuan followed the sound and saw that the gate of the Su family villa was directly rammed open by a military Humvee. The engine roared as it charged in, followed by more than a dozen other Humvees.
They didn't stop immediately but drove in circles within the Su family villa. The lead vehicle had a young man standing up, shaking his hat, and shouting arrogantly, "Where is that son-in-law!"
Everything seemed so sudden. The security personnel at the entrance hadn't even reacted. By the time they did, these people had already charged in. Seeing the situation was not good, the leader quickly made a phone call, and then a group of security personnel rushed over.
The captain, who was in the lead, coldly shouted, "This is the Su family of the provincial capital. This is not a place you can trespass!"
Before his words fell, the lead vehicle suddenly braked sharply, drifting towards the captain's side and charging at him. The person in the car cursed, "What provincial capital Su family? Is there any place our Liu Corporation cannot trespass?"
The captain narrowly dodged the Humvee's collision, but two of his security team brothers had their legs hit, their thighs stained with blood. He was instantly enraged, but upon hearing "Liu Corporation," it was as if a basin of cold water was poured onto a raging fire.
He quickly ordered people to send the two brothers to the hospital.
"Hurry up and tell your so-called son-in-law to obediently accept his death, otherwise our Liu Corporation will absolutely not let him go!"
Another young man, dressed in a white martial arts uniform, stood up, looking extremely arrogant.
Even while in the Su family villa, his expression remained haughty.
This person was named Bai Qi. He was the personal disciple of Old Monster Jin. Today, he took the lead, aiming to show off in front of Old Monster Jin.
"Sir, this is the Su family of the provincial capital. Please leave. As for whether our son-in-law will see you, I will inform you." The captain took a breath and calmed down.
"Damn it! Who the hell do you think you are!"
Bai Qi's expression turned cold. With a casual wave of his hand, with a swoosh, something flew out like lightning and shot towards the security captain's chest.
