Seeing this, Emperor Tianyi also knew that it was not easy to persuade a determined practitioner. After all, the more powerful the practitioner, the more determined his Tao heart was. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult to persuade him.
Thinking of this, Emperor Tianyi had no choice but to speak again, "Daoist Fellow Xuxing, how confident are you?"
Since simple persuasion is not enough to make Yang Qi give up, Emperor Tianyi can only start from the opportunity to crack the chess game. If the chance of cracking the chess game is too small, perhaps he can use this opportunity to make Yang Qi give up.
It’s not that Emperor Tianyi doesn’t want to go further. After all, the further Yang Qi goes, the more benefits he will get. He just doesn’t want Yang Qi to waste his precious opportunity in vain.
Yang Qi thought for a moment, then said, "If I don't use the spiritual fruit to assist me, I'll only have about a 30% chance of success. If I use the spiritual fruit to assist me, I should be able to have a 50% chance of success."
This kind of test, a slight increase in difficulty, may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. In the same way, if the practitioner's comprehension can be improved a little in a short period of time, the chance of cracking the chess game will also increase. It's not that the spiritual fruit can simply increase the hope of cracking the chess game, but how much Yang Qi's chance of cracking the chess game can be increased with the blessing of the spiritual fruit.
Such an improvement may not be achieved by other practitioners. After all, practitioners are different, and the same spiritual medicine will bring different improvements. And 50% certainty is still Yang Qi's conservative estimate. After all, without certainty, Yang Qi will not rashly do useless work.
Fifty percent
Hearing Yang Qi's words, Emperor Tianyi's expression changed slightly. He had thought that it was already very rare for Yang Qi to have 20% or 30% confidence. He did not expect that with the help of spiritual fruits, Yang Qi could have as much as 50% confidence.
Even though there was some exaggeration in Yang Qi's words, as long as there was about a 40% chance of cracking the chess game, even Emperor Tianyi himself would be willing to give it a try.
After all, both Emperor Tianyi and Yang Qi knew very well that there was still a chance to crack the chess game at the eighth level, but if it reached the ninth level, they would have absolutely no hope at all. And the degree of cracking the chess game was directly related to the level of opportunity they could get. In this case, a 40% chance was already worth a try.
Emperor Tianyi looked at Yang Qi in front of him and said solemnly, "In that case, Daoist Fellow Xuxing, I'll trouble you with everything."
Knowing that Yang Qi had at least 40% confidence, Emperor Tianyi did not continue to persuade him and could only pray that Yang Qi could successfully crack the chess game. However, he did not know that the 50% confidence Yang Qi mentioned was a conservative estimate.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi took the spiritual fruit without any hesitation. With the help of the improvement brought by the spiritual fruit, he began to crack the chess game in front of him.
Soon Yang Qi was immersed in cracking the chess game. Thanks to the medicinal effect of the spiritual fruit, Yang Qi encountered almost no difficulties in cracking the chess game. It was just that there were too many things that needed to be deduced and cracked. Even with Yang Qi's current state, it would take a lot of time.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, more than two days had passed. At this time, when Yang Qi was cracking the chess game, his condition had obviously declined. The reason for this was that in addition to the rapid increase in difficulty as the chess game was cracked, the improvement brought by the spiritual fruit was also constantly decreasing.
Emperor Tianyi, who was standing by, knew that Yang Qi was having trouble cracking the chess game. Unfortunately, he couldn't help at all. After all, with Emperor Tianyi's level of cultivation, he couldn't even understand the chess game in front of him, so how could he help Yang Qi
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, more than three days had passed, and Yang Qi's speed in cracking the chess game had slowed down a lot.
Feeling his progress in cracking the chess game, Yang Qi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and secretly said in his heart, "At my current speed of cracking chess games, the hope of cracking the chess game in front of me within seven days is very slim."
If he maintained the same speed as at the beginning, he would have more than 90% chance of cracking the game. However, the decline in his own condition made his speed of cracking the game drop. Now, he had less than 70% chance of cracking the game.
70% confidence may seem high, but you have to know that nearly half of the time to crack the game has passed, so 70% confidence at this time is not high. It's like can 70% confidence on the last day be compared with 70% confidence at the beginning
Normally, the closer to the deadline, the clearer the practitioner will be able to understand whether or not he can crack the game. If he is less confident when the deadline comes, he is basically doomed to fail.
Therefore, in Yang Qi's opinion, a 70% certainty is obviously not enough!
“In this case, I can only use one more spiritual fruit!” Yang Qi sighed slightly in his heart. He originally thought that one spiritual fruit would be enough for him to crack the chess game in front of him, but he didn't expect that he would have to use a second one.
The reason for this situation, in addition to the difficulty of the chess game itself, is also related to Yang Qi's miscalculation. He had already used the spiritual fruit, and if he chose to give up at this time, the previous spiritual fruit would be given up in vain.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi did not hesitate at all. He took out another spiritual fruit and swallowed it.
"this… "
Emperor Tianyi, who was standing by, saw this and before he could say anything, Yang Qi had already swallowed a spiritual fruit, which made him not know what to say for a moment.
After all, disturbing Yang Qi at this time would only reduce Yang Qi's hope of cracking the chess game, but Yang Qi used two spiritual fruits to improve his comprehension in succession, and even Emperor Tianyi felt very painful. After all, spiritual fruits of this level are generally used by practitioners when they break through the realm, and it is completely a waste of resources like Yang Qi did when he was being tested.
If the previous one was Yang Qi's attempt to crack the chess game in front of him, then using another one before the effect of the drug completely wore off would be a bit too extravagant.
After all, it is not easy for a cultivator at the level of Emperor Tianyi to obtain a spiritual fruit of this level. Especially now, the price of the cultivation resources required by high-level martial emperor-level cultivators has increased significantly. The value of a spiritual fruit is immeasurable, let alone two spiritual fruits.
Therefore, after seeing this scene, Emperor Tianyi just opened his mouth and finally sighed. Yang Qi used two such precious spiritual fruits. Regardless of whether the opponent finally cracked the eighth level of the chess game, he owed Yang Qi a huge favor.
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to repay this favor in my lifetime!” Emperor Tianyi sighed in his heart.
He had seen Yang Qi's strength and means. His strength and means were far superior to his, and his future achievements were also far superior to his. Even if he wanted to repay this favor, it would definitely not be an easy task. Having said that, Emperor Tianyi still remembered Yang Qi's favor firmly, and if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely repay this favor.
