105: Chapter 105 Integral Deduction: Integrating Xingyi Quan and Bajiquan

The Invitation to Legacy Points Deduction

The midday sun at the Xingyi Sect branch warmed the martial arts arena until it was scorching. Chen Wu's peace lock suddenly resonated with Lin Mo's tactical tablet. Pale golden Qi Energy spread across the tablet screen, and the "Legacy Points Mall" interface of the Global Martial Arts System popped up automatically. The pinned "Martial Arts Deduction" module glowed brilliantly—Current available Legacy Points: 8.2 million (including 1.5 million from Breathing Technique legacies, 1.2 million from Secret Manual legacies, etc. accumulated), and the required points for "Xingyi Fist + Baji Fist Fusion Deduction" displayed exactly "8 million," with a note in small text next to it: "Requires authorization from successors of both schools + synchronization of Qi Energy samples."

"Finally saved up enough points!" Lin Mo's fingertips flew across the virtual keyboard, sweat dripping from his temple onto the touchpad. "The Technical Department said this is the System's highest-level 'Dual School Fusion Deduction,' capable of simulating 100,000 Fusion possibilities and automatically avoiding Qi Energy conflicts!" The tablet suddenly popped up an authorization interface. The Xingyi Sect seal of Li Xuantong and the Baji Sect seal of Zhao Lie were flashing. Both of their Qi Energy samples had been automatically recorded into the System through previous sparring matches. "As long as you confirm, the deduction can start immediately, and the 38 billion viewers of the global live stream will be able to see the Fusion process in real-time!"

Chen Wu's gaze fell on the "Deduction Risk Warning": "There is a 12% probability of Qi Energy going berserk; requires 'Breathing Resonance' to stabilize the Dantian." He suddenly gripped the "Breathing Qi Energy" totem in his palm, and the pale golden light intertwined with the peace lock: "Elder Li, Elder Zhao, this Junior wants to fuse the 'Five Elements Combined Energy' of Xingyi Fist with the 'Hard Energy Compression' of Baji Fist," his voice carried firm Qi Energy fluctuations, "not only to break the 'Legacy Formation' of the underground palace, but also to prove that the hard and soft schools can truly coexist."

Li Xuantong suddenly stepped forward, injecting brownish Xingyi Energy into the tablet: "This old man has been waiting for this day!" His finger tapped lightly on the authorization interface, and the Xingyi Sect seal lit up instantly. "Xingyi Fist avoids 'being too hard and easily broken,' while Baji Fist avoids 'lacking soft energy.' Your Yijin Energy is perfect to serve as the 'adhesive'!" Zhao Lie also followed by injecting Baji Energy. The pale black seal and the Xingyi seal formed the character "Union" on the screen: "This old man has practiced 'Hard Energy' for sixty years. Today, I want to see just how powerful it can be when fused with Five Elements Energy!"

Grandpa Wang's long-stemmed pipe tapped out a dull sound on the side of the martial arts arena. The old man fished out the "Dual School Records" left by his grandfather. Tucked into the yellowed pages was a deduction sketch from 1956—a manuscript by Chen Wu's Great-grandfather attempting to fuse Xingyi and Baji. It depicted the prototype of "Five Elements Hard Energy," but it was stuck at "Dantian Coordination" due to Qi Energy conflicts. "What your Great-grandfather lacked back then was 'System Deduction'," he said, pointing the pipe bowl at the conflict point on the sketch. "Today, with the global breathing Qi Energy as backup, it will definitely succeed!" A bronze Fusion plate flew out of the camphor wood chest, with the characters "Xingji" carved on it. Pale brown and pale black Qi Energy spread along the plate, tracing a "Deduction Guidance" trajectory in Chen Wu's palm.

In the Flower Girl's basket, the brownish-black petals of the inheritance grass suddenly emitted a flow of light. Dewdrops rolled on the leaves, reflecting the preview images of the System deduction—among the 100,000 Fusion possibilities, 3,721 could reach "SS-rank" power. Among them, Moves like "Earth Element Hard Energy Fist" and "Metal Element Crushing Power Palm" were perfect for cracking the corresponding nodes of the underground palace's "Legacy Formation." The little girl mixed the brownish-black juice, and when the two-colored "Fusion Energy Dew" dripped onto the leaves, the petals suddenly unfolded toward the tablet: "Elder Zhou said this is a 'Deduction Stabilizer'," she said, her fingertips lightly tapping the dewdrops. "It can reduce the probability of Qi Energy going berserk, just like installing a safety catch on the System!"

When Chen Wu's Yijin Energy was injected into the tablet's "Confirm" button, the System prompt suddenly blared: "Dual School Fusion Deduction started, consumed 8 million points, current remaining 200,000." A holographic projection suddenly rose in the center of the martial arts arena. 100,000 Fusion Moves swirled in the virtual space, and the pale brown and pale black Qi Energy intertwined into a dual-colored river of light—the global live stream camera zoomed in, and one could clearly see the Qi Energy trajectory of each Move. The bullet comments instantly flooded with camps of "Choose Earth Element Hard Energy Fist" and "Want to see Metal Element Crushing Power Palm," and the number of online viewers broke 39 billion.

Screening the 100,000 Possible Fusions

As soon as the first stage of the System deduction, "Move Screening," started, the holographic projection automatically divided into two major modules: "Five Elements" and "Hard Energy." The Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth energies of Xingyi Fist collided with the Crushing, Splitting, Drilling, Cannon, and Horizontal energies of Baji Fist in the virtual space. Each contact produced a subtle Qi Energy explosion—Lin Mo's tablet showed that the initial Fusion success rate was only 37%, with most conflicts concentrated in "Earth Energy and Crushing Power" and "Fire Energy and Cannon Power." When the two types of fierce Qi Energy met, there was a risk of "Dantian Counter-impact."

"Prioritize screening 'Earth Element + Crushing Power'!" Chen Wu's fingertips tapped lightly on the projection, and the pale brown Earth Energy and pale black Crushing Power were suddenly isolated. "The Earth Element node of the underground palace's 'Legacy Formation' requires thick and heavy energy; the fierceness of Crushing Power is perfect for enhancing penetration." The System instantly simulated 3,000 variants of "Earth Element Crushing Power," and the 1,729th one suddenly lit up—pale brown and pale black Qi Energy formed a rotating Taiji diagram at the Dantian, neither conflicting nor nourishing each other. "This is 'Spiral Compressed Earth Energy,' using the spiral energy of Yijin Energy to wrap the Crushing Power, and then injecting the thickness of Earth Energy!"

Li Xuantong's eyes suddenly brightened: "This Move solves the old problem of 'Hard Energy dissipating'!" He pointed at the Dantian trajectory in the projection. "Previously, after Crushing Power exploded, 30% of the residual energy would remain in the body, easily damaging the Meridians. Your spiral energy is perfect for guiding the residual energy into Earth Energy, turning it into defense!" Zhao Lie also nodded, pale black Qi Energy condensing in his palm: "This old man will try it!" He circulated his Qi according to the trajectory in the projection. The Crushing Power and Earth Energy circulated at the Dantian, and there was indeed no conflict. Instead, it increased the fist's power by 40%. "It's much more powerful than when this old man practices Crushing Power alone!"

Lin Mo's tablet suddenly popped up a "Real-time Optimization" prompt: "System detected Elder Zhao's Qi Energy data, automatically optimized 'Spiral Compressed Earth Energy' into 'Baji Earth Element Crushing', hard energy compression rate increased to 85%!" On the live stream screen, the holographic projection broke down the optimized Move into 18 steps, each marked with "Qi Energy Ratio": Earth Energy 60% (Thick/Heavy), Crushing Power 30% (Fierce), Yijin Energy 10% (Spiral). "Ordinary Martial Artists can practice according to this ratio, and the success rate can increase to 92%!" The bullet comments suddenly exploded with fields of golden "Want to learn." A "Simulated Practice" video uploaded by a British viewer showed that the "Baji Earth Element Crushing" he practiced according to the steps could actually smash a shallow crater into a sandbag, and the comment "Too magical" received 200 million likes.

Grandpa Wang's long-stemmed pipe tapped out a brisk rhythm on the side of the martial arts arena. The old man flipped to the "Optimization Chapter" of the "Dual School Records." The yellowed pages recorded the "Golden Rule of Qi Energy Ratio": "The best ratio of Hard Energy to Soft Energy is 3:7," the pipe bowl pointed at the ratio in the projection. "Your 6:3:1 ratio is just right. Earth Energy acts as the 'shield,' Crushing Power acts as the 'spear,' and Yijin Energy acts as the 'axle.' Perfect!" The bronze Fusion plate in the camphor wood chest suddenly resonated with the projection. Pale brown and pale black Qi Energy spread along the plate, tracing an "Optimization Trajectory" at Chen Wu's Dantian, making the fused energy flow more smoothly.

When the deduction entered the "Actual Combat Test" stage, the System suddenly generated a virtual underground palace "Legacy Formation" model. Chen Wu's "Baji Earth Element Crushing" blasted toward the Earth Element node—the slow-motion footage showed the pale brown and pale black Qi Energy exploding at the node, not only breaking through the "Thick/Heavy Defensive Layer" but also without damaging the surrounding Qi Energy Meridians, perfectly triggering the "Node Activation" effect. "Success!" Lin Mo's exclamation carried excitement. The tablet showed that the Formation-breaking efficiency of this Move was 80% higher than using Xingyi Energy or Baji Energy alone. "System Prompt: 'Legacy Formation' Earth Element cracking module unlocked!"

The Thrilling Resolution of Qi Energy Conflicts

As the simulation reached the 47th minute, the System suddenly popped up a "Red Alert": "When fusing the Gold Element Energy with the Crushing Power, there is a 23% risk of 'Meridians tearing'."

In the holographic projection, the pale gold Gold Energy and the pale black Crushing Power collided at the virtual Dantian, creating a blinding explosion of Qi Energy. The simulated "Meridians model" instantly developed three cracks—the global livestream's chat instantly went quiet, all 39 billion viewers held their breath, Li Xuantong's Xingyi Energy suddenly became rapid, and Zhao Lie also clenched his fists.

"Use 'Breathing Resonance'!" The Flower Girl's voice carried anxiety. She sprinkled the "Fusion Energy Dew" toward Chen Wu's Dantian, the two-colored light interweaving with the breathing Qi Energy. "Elder Zhou said breathing can make Meridians more flexible, just like installing a buffer pad on a water pipe!"

Chen Wu suddenly closed his eyes and took a deep breath according to the rhythm of the Basic Breathing Technique. The pale gold breathing Qi Energy flowed along his Meridians, forming a transparent Qi shield at his Dantian—the slow-motion footage showed the Qi shield separating the Gold Energy and Crushing Power for 0.5 seconds, giving the Yijin Energy enough time to form a "spiral buffer layer."

"Readjust the ratio!" Lin Mo's fingertips flew across the virtual keyboard, lowering the Gold Energy ratio from 50% to 30%, increasing the Crushing Power to 40%, and increasing the Yijin Energy to 30%. "System simulation shows this allows the Spiral Energy to better wrap around the two types of Hard Energy!"

The Qi Energy explosion in the holographic projection suddenly weakened, and the cracks slowly repaired. The pale gold, pale black, and dark gold three-colored Qi Energy formed a stable three-colored vortex at the Dantian—this was the "Gold Element Crushing Palm." The Gold Energy was responsible for sharpness, the Crushing Power for explosive force, and the Yijin Energy for coordination; the three types of Qi Energy existed in perfect symbiosis.

Li Xuantong suddenly slapped the table and rose. "This Move solves the problem of 'Hard Energy being too sharp'!" He pointed at the meridian trajectory in the projection. "Previously, Crushing Power easily injured the palm Meridians, but this Gold Energy of yours can serve as a 'protective shell.' With Yijin Energy guiding it, even beginners can practice it!"

Zhao Lie also revealed a smile, the pale black Crushing Power condensing in his palm. "Let this old man try!" He channeled his energy according to the simulation steps. Under the support of the breathing Qi Energy, the Gold Energy and Crushing Power did not produce the slightest conflict, and the palm surface glowed with a faint three-colored light. "It's even more powerful than this old man's 'Iron Sand Palm.' The palm force can be concentrated at the fingertips, piercing wood like paper!"

Lin Mo's tablet suddenly popped up a "Global Resonance" notification: "The breathing Qi Energy of 38 billion viewers is synchronizing to provide support; the probability of Qi Energy conflict has dropped to 0.3%!"

On the livestream screen, countless tiny strands of pale gold Qi Energy converged from all over the world to the martial arts arena, fusing with Chen Wu's Dantian Qi shield. The three-colored vortex became more stable. "System simulation speed increased by 3 times; the remaining 8 Fusion Moves are expected to be completed in 10 minutes!"

The chat instantly flooded with a uniform "We are helping too." A "Synchronized Breathing" video uploaded by an African viewer showed his breathing rhythm was completely identical to Chen Wu's; although the Qi Energy was weak, it was contributing power to the simulation.

When the final Move, "Fire Element Cannon Fist," simulation was completed, the holographic projection suddenly burst forth with three-colored light. The Xingyi Fist's Five Elements Energy, Baji Fist's Five Hard Energies, and Chen Wu's Yijin Energy formed a huge "Xing-Ji-Yijin" totem in the virtual space. 10 Fusion Moves circulated around the totem, each Move marked with its "Formation-breaking purpose": "Earth Element Crushing Power Fist" to break the Earth Element node, "Gold Element Crushing Palm" to break the Gold Element node, "Fire Element Cannon Fist" to break the Fire Element node, etc., perfectly corresponding to the ten major nodes of the underground palace's "Legacy Formation."

"System simulation complete, rating: SSS+!" Lin Mo's voice carried excitement. The Fusion chart on the tablet saved automatically. "Obtained the full volume of the 'Xing-Ji-Yijin Fist Manual,' unlocked the ten major cracking modules for the underground palace's 'Legacy Formation,' and the remaining 200,000 points can be exchanged for a 'Fusion Energy Supply Pack'!"

The chat instantly exploded into a sea of golden "Congratulations Chen Wu." Fans of different sects reached a complete consensus for the first time, their messages lit up by 39 billion viewers simultaneously, like a river of light crossing mountains and seas.

Foreshadowing the Underground Palace of Fusion Legacy

When Chen Wu's fingertips touched the "Xing-Ji-Yijin" totem in the holographic projection, pale brown, pale black, and dark gold three-colored Qi Energy suddenly surged into his palm. The Bronze Fusion Tablet, the peace lock, and the breathing totem merged into one in his palm, forming a rotating three-colored emblem—the slow-motion footage of the global livestream showed the emblem's patterns perfectly matched the ten major nodes of the underground palace's "Legacy Formation." Each Fusion Move could precisely correspond to one node, serving as the "skeleton key" to cracking the Formation.

"This emblem is the core of 'Xing-Ji-Yijin'!" Grandpa Wang's dry tobacco pipe tapped out a brisk rhythm on the side of the martial arts arena. He flipped to the last page of the "Chronicles of Dual Sects." On the yellowed page, nine characters were written in cinnabar: "Xing-Ji unite, Yijin complete, Legacy opens," with Chen Wus Great-grandfather's blank signature left beside it. "Today, you fill it in, and you will have fulfilled his wish!"

Chen Wu's fingertip lightly tapped the signature area. The dark gold Yijin Energy spread along the handwriting, perfectly fusing with his ancestor's penmanship, and the Bronze Fusion Tablet suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

In the Flower Girl's basket, the brown-black petals of the inheritance grass suddenly bore three-colored fruits. Dewdrops rolled on the fruits, reflecting the real-time image of the underground palace's "Legacy Formation"—the ten major nodes were flickering, resonating with the three-colored emblem in Chen Wu's palm. The nodes corresponding to each Fusion Move lit up in their respective colors, as if waiting to be activated.

The young girl sprinkled the last drop of "Fusion Energy Dew" toward the emblem. The three-colored light fused with the fruit's halo, condensing into a miniature "Legacy Formation" model in Chen Wu's palm. "Elder Zhou said this is the 'master key for cracking the Formation,'" she tapped the model lightly with her fingertip, "it can allow you to activate all nodes in the underground palace at once, just like installing a master switch for the Formation!"

The Section Chief of the Special Incident Response Department walked over holding a silver box, which contained a set of "Xing-Ji-Yijin Protective Gear" engraved with the three-colored totem. "This was specially made by the Technical Department based on the Fusion Energy," she handed the protective gear to Chen Wu, "it can enhance the Fusion stability of the three types of Qi Energy and can also absorb the underground palace's Qi Energy to replenish energy."

The tablet displayed that all preparations for the underground palace were complete: the Elders of the eight major sects brought their sect-protecting treasures; Zhang Hao and Love carried the "Fusion Energy Supply Pack"; the breathing Qi Energy of 38 billion global viewers had already been connected through the System. All that remained was to head to the underground palace early tomorrow morning to crack the "Legacy Formation" and obtain the full volume of the "Muscle Tendon Change Classic."

Zhao Lie suddenly grasped Chen Wu's hand tightly, the pale black Baji Energy fusing with the three-colored emblem. "This old man told your Great-grandfather back then that 'Xingyi and Baji are difficult to coexist,' but today, this old man admits he was wrong!"

Li Xuantong also stepped forward, the pale brown Xingyi Energy joining the Fusion. "From now on, the Xingyi Sect and the Baji Sect are one family. We will pass on your Fusion fist manual to all our Disciples!"

The Elders of the eight major sects stepped forward simultaneously, eight colors of Qi Energy interweaving with the three-colored emblem to form a huge "Legacy" totem in the center of the martial arts arena—the final shot of the global livestream froze at this moment. The chat of 39 billion viewers formed a golden slogan: "Xing-Ji-Yijin, invincible under heaven," like a river of light crossing mountains and seas.

As the sunset washed over the martial arts arena, the three-colored emblem in Chen Wu's palm echoed from afar with the Qi Energy in the direction of the underground palace. He suddenly understood that this "points simulation" was never about "simple Move Fusion," but rather "breaking the walls of Legacy"—true martial arts is not the opposition between sects, but a symbiosis of hardness and softness; true strength is not to preserve oneself alone, but to let different powers bloom with even more dazzling brilliance through Fusion.

The final notification of the global livestream popped up: "Underground palace 'Legacy Formation' cracking permission 100% unlocked, adventure mission countdown: 12 hours." The "See you tomorrow" flooding the chat was lit up by everyone simultaneously, like a river of light crossing time and space, flowing forever above the Xingyi Sect branch, illuminating the ultimate journey of the underground palace exploration, and also illuminating the new future of the Fusion of the two ancient martial arts sects.
