Greg Jensen noticed that the plaque not only bore four streaks of Sword Qi but also had a set of sword techniques inscribed on it.
This set of sword techniques comprised a total of eight basic moves, that is, eight modes of attack.
Each mode of attack could be merged with another to evolve into a new one.
Similar to the Eight Diagrams Reorganization, it formed sixty-four hexagrams.
After scrambling the sequence of these sixty-four hexagrams, there were nearly 260,000 variations.
Of course, one didn't need to memorize all these variations by rote; it was sufficient to remember the eight basic moves and the sword techniques.
The rest merely required on-the-spot adaptation to unleash thousands of changing moves in an instant.
