High Martial Arts Races: I Ascend to the Future in a Simulation

[Click!]

[This old dwarf's physical condition isn't actually that weak. You'd estimate his physique is at least a 6, equivalent to a healthy teenager of normal height (1.6 meters).]

[That's not low. An average elderly person who has aged to this extent would probably only have a physical strength of five points. Moreover, an average elderly person is around 1.5 meters tall. If they were shrunk to his size, they would probably only have two or three points left.]

[But your physique has already reached the third level of a martial arts practitioner!]

[Under your swift and relentless attacks, this seemingly high-ranking old fellow suffered broken bones, concussion, internal organ damage, and vomiting blood within seconds!]

The other dwarfs below hadn't even reacted yet, and in their excruciating pain, this old dwarf was also powerless to use his earth manipulation technique—within a radius of a hundred meters, the soil beneath the altar trembled and rose continuously, only to fall back down in the next instant!

The soil movement is his resistance; the falling soil is your punishment of the old demon!

[Your short arms and legs moved like a phantom, a series of attacks using your hands, feet, and head leaving the old dwarf helpless and screaming in agony. By the time the dwarf below finally reacted and leaped up to lock you in place, the old man had already stopped breathing.]

"That's called outsmarting him, you old geezer."

"At least I've gotten revenge on one person in this lifetime."

You gasp for breath, excruciating pain shooting through your body. Below you, the dwarfs are in complete disarray, the scene utterly chaotic.

[—You have no idea that the old dwarf you killed by taking advantage of his underestimation was actually the strongest and most ancient Supreme High Priest of the Mud-Hidden Clan!]

"..."

This high priest possesses earth-shattering magical power, capable of easily moving tens of tons of soil. Even in this vast world, he is undoubtedly a formidable figure!

However, due to his physical weakness and excessive underestimation of an infant, he was ultimately defeated by a series of attacks. This is beyond what simple words like "wronged" or "frustrated" can describe!

"This is what a weak monk looks like."

"If you get a little closer, one punch will take him down."

"The French system is pure boiling water."

"At later stages, even their bones are not as hard as the hairs on a martial artist's head."

Xu Fei stood tall and proud.

Let alone the fact that humans can't cultivate extraordinary systems like mages, even if they could, he wouldn't choose such a fragile path!

The dwarves were furious; they halted the ritual and instead led you deep into the crypt.

What you don't know is that the high priest's lack of vigilance towards you wasn't solely due to underestimation.

Instead, they intend to use a solemn ceremony to bestow upon you a completely new identity, allowing you to "conform to clan etiquette" and join their Nizang clan.

[After all, you performed exceptionally well during your escape. From the other men and women, they also learned that you possess the qualities of Xuanyuan from the powerful Jihe Clan, located by the Ji River!]

When faced with a newborn prodigy who has little to no memory, the first thought of any person of normal intelligence would not be, "To prevent him from becoming too outstanding when he grows up, I should eliminate him now," but rather, "I want to gradually mold him into my own kind, making him the best among my people."

[If your birth mother were a heroine from another clan who wiped out countless members of the Nizang clan, even their entire tribe's mortal enemy—then they might also try to kill you.]

[But that woman is just an NPC; no one outside her own tribe even knows her name. The Mud-Treasury Clan is very confident they can mold your values ​​and understanding to be the same as theirs.]

Even if you do remember the events of your birth, in any era, the debt of gratitude for being raised far outweighs the debt of giving birth, especially when they genuinely intend to nurture you.

Since that man's birth, the Jihe clan has grown increasingly powerful, and their Nizang clan also desires to possess a "Xuanyuan"!

Their hopes vanished after your swift counterattack and defeat of the High Priest.

[This little brat is better suited for feeding the dragons.]

【…】

[Those men and women who were previously bound also came with you into the depths of the cave. Only twenty of them remain, and they all bear different injuries. Their gazes towards you carry a certain glint.]

A deep pit, nearly vertical at seventy degrees, has appeared before you. It is over ten meters in diameter, and a chilling sound of scales rubbing against each other emanates from its depths.

You were untied and thrown in.

[But during your fall, something poignant happened again: a man who was still alive and had some strength struggled to adjust his direction as he rolled down, reaching your side and shielding you.]

The sloping pit was not smooth; from time to time, protruding rocks would pierce and wound people all over their bodies.

You see someone clinging to a protruding rock, clearly trying to climb up, but remembering the group of dwarfs surrounding the pit when they fell, you think that even if that person manages to climb up, they'll be kicked down.

After a violent tremor, you arrived at the bottom of the pit.

The sound of scales rubbing against the rock wall was amplified countless times in the unique environment of the pit, as if it were exploding right next to my ears!

The person who protected you appeared to have been knocked unconscious or even dead in the impact. His arms loosened, and you climbed out of his embrace. The crater wasn't completely dark; instead, a fiery red light flickered, and the pungent smell of gasoline filled the air.

You looked up and saw the two red lights that were flashing intermittently; you froze.

Those were two long strips of flame dancing in the air, occasionally shooting out and then suddenly retracting, their contraction and expansion resembling two fire serpents dwelling in a spatial rift.

But by the light of the fire, you saw a hazy, enormous shadow behind the two fiery serpents.

That was a real giant serpent.

Its head was the size of a small car, and its forked tongue, when extended, stretched several meters long, tearing through the air with a deafening roar, like a fleshy lightning bolt!

The two fiery snakes we saw earlier were just gases billowing from its mouth and nostrils; they burst into flames the moment they were exhaled!

[It is the dragon in Xiangyuan's mouth, a giant python from the deep pit that eats people, licks oil, and breathes fire!]

[You've been born for less than a day, yet you've already faced one of the most powerful beings in this world!]

Xu Fei: "..."

Don't tell him that to beat this simulation, he has to defeat or subdue this fire-breathing giant python!

In the Great Rift Valley, where the energy concentration is only 10 points, taking down a Tyrannosaurus Rex that is over ten meters long is already incredibly difficult!

However, if the enemy were replaced by this "dragon" in front of us, it would be a giant python tens of meters long living in an environment with a concentration of vital energy several times higher...

Putting everything else aside, this giant python's physical attribute definitely exceeds 250!

He has reached the level of a military general!

Even if his massive size makes him less agile, it's still far beyond what he can match now!
