Chapter 630 - 630 337 The most terrifying powerful psychopath

Chapter 630: 337 The most terrifying powerful psychopath (4000)_1 Chapter 630: 337 The most terrifying powerful psychopath (4000)_1 Without a doubt, this was a Secret Martial Art, a rather unique one. It came from a personal item that Jilan carried with him at all times.

There was a high probability that it was the Secret Martial Art that Jilan had been cultivating.

Unfortunately, he didn’t even get the chance to show the power and efficacy of this martial art before he was promptly taken down by Casio.

All of Jilan’s possessions naturally fell into Casio’s hands.

The moonlight was cold and clear, and the secret manual slowly opened on the ground. He leafed through the pages, spending more than half an hour to finish reading through it.

The blond silhouette facing the window fell into deep thought.

This was a very peculiar martial art, as unconventional as the Southern Dipper secret tradition. The two Southern Dipper secret traditions that Casio practiced both relied solely on boxing, with the core being the breakthrough of acupuncture points and specialized force. Yet this Secret Martial Art known as the “Hand of the Black Demon” did not involve physical training method either. Its core was to condense and plunder vitality.

The entire process described in it seemed incredibly simple.

The aim was to condense a black demon vortex in the palms, and keep making this vortex stronger, larger, and faster, until the vortex completely covered the palms and merged with them.

With that, the Hand of the Black Demon would have reached the realm of Major Accomplishment.

Every time one’s fists made contact with another person, they could voraciously plunder their life force. The touch would mean an instant death, an impact, instant oblivion. It was a type of martial art that appeared exceptionally simple, yet its power was extremely dominant.

Based on the descriptions, it seemed stunningly perfect. It was quick to cultivate, the practice conditions were easy, and its combative power was great.

However, Casio did not believe that such benefits could come without a cost.

Every powerful Secret Martial Art has its downsides. Even the Demon Idol Secret Martial Art, created by Casio himself, which was as solid as a rock foundation, versatile in functions, and outstanding in effects had severe hidden dangers at its very core.

Casio had nearly exhausted all his energy in the previous retrospection to barely handle the problems related to the three core mental methods temporarily.

He managed to establish a relative balance between the killer personality and the aloof personality.

Consider the two Southern Dipper secret traditions.

Their effects were undoubtedly powerful, but the cultivation conditions were extremely stringent. They required cultivators to have a high degree of aptitude.

It was the martial art that chose the person, not the person who chose the martial art.

Furthermore, practicing the Southern Dipper secret tradition had cultivation requirements as well. The Deathfang Power and Echo Strength were too dominant. A Secret Martial Artist with less than a Fighter’s strength would find it hard to handle, even a Boxing Method Major Accomplishment realm could barely manage, with a high risk of dying from overexertion.

This was also why Feng Liusi found it challenging to pass on this secret tradition of the Southern Dipper to the Red Hawk Fist Mountain Gate. The basic requirements were too demanding.

Besides, having entered the secret tradition of the Southern Dipper did not guarantee smooth sailing ahead. Feng Liusi himself was an example. He got deviated while practicing the boxing method, and his personality had been subtly influenced by the boxing art. In the end, he even sealed himself and fell into emptiness.

What about this Hand of the Black Demon? Even while reading through it, Casio had felt something was off. It was too simple, too smooth, and too powerful. This was not how a normally strong martial art should look.

After all, he was a top-class Fighter who had once journeyed with Feng Liusi and Sheng Feinan, both high-level Secret Martial Artists. His vision and experience had been gradually improving, and many things could not escape Casio’s eyes.

Under the moonlight, he carefully read through the secret manual once again.

Finally, he was able to find some hidden clues within it.

“Form a Black Demon Vortex at the center of the palm, like a spinning gravitational wave that naturally attracts and absorbs the life force energy from the outside. The energy absorbed makes the vortex spin faster…”

“The faster it spins, the stronger is the suction force, setting up a positive cycle…”

Casio’s eyelids drooped, as he seemed to have recalled something, “There’s some missing information here. If the Black Demon Vortex can attract energy from outside, wouldn’t it also indiscriminately attract energy from inside?”

“The vortex absorbs external life force energy just as it absorbs internal life force energy. The faster the Black Demon Vortex spins, the stronger it is, the more it consumes the cultivator’s life energy. It will probably severely weaken the cultivator’s physique and reduce their lifespan.” He muttered to himself.

Just a few days ago, when he had made contact with Jilan and had a brief heart-to-heart in the abandoned church, Casio had learned that Jilan had joined the organization to deal with the strong side effects of his own Secret Martial Art.

Moreover, when they first met, Casio felt that there was something wrong with Jilan’s body; his aura seemed quite weak.

Most likely, his suspicions were pretty accurate.

“In this case, I’m afraid I can’t practice. The Black Demon Vortex is a double-edged sword; the deeper the cultivation, the faster the death.”

“Moreover, biting off more than you can chew is never wise; the two Southern Dipper secret traditions are already enough for me to study devotedly. This Hand of the Black Demon is quite special and powerful, but it still falls short when compared to the Southern Dipper secret traditions. The yield from investing the same amount of time into the Black Demon Hand is less than that from the Southern Dipper secret traditions, not to mention the drawbacks of the Black Demon Hand. Moreover, it seems like the final part of this martial art is incomplete…”

Casio read through it carefully a few more times and discovered more information.

After much thought, he decided the gains wouldn’t outweigh the losses. He was just about to put away the Hand of the Black Demon, when suddenly a thought flashed through his mind. Casio turned his eyes slightly, looking at the shadow on his left.

“I can’t cultivate it, but can the Shadow Demon cultivate it?”

“This Hand of the Black Demon does not have any training methods, nor does it involve anything about the human body or acupuncture points. The most crucial thing is the Black Demon Vortex. In theory, any living creature with hands should be able to cultivate it. Of course, there is a prerequisite: the creature must be capable of thinking and should at least have the intelligence of a human child…”
