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

At age 11, in this life you decide to first unify the Central Plains. You build your own barbarian army, selecting the 108 strongest men as your subordinates, all of whom are equipped with bronze weapons.

You have formed an invincible army, sweeping across all directions!

Even a herd of elephants would give you a wide berth.

At age 12, you stopped growing taller, your height stagnating at 1.43 meters.

"...There's no need to bring that up specifically."

Xu Fei's face was somewhat dark. In his third simulation, he had grown to at least 1.47 meters before stopping his growth, but in the fourth and fifth simulations, he only grew to a little over 1.4 meters.

Because his proficiency with the Hot Blood Technique is getting higher and higher.

This allows them to better utilize their internal potential and further reduce their height.

This has led to a gradual shortening of human-like stature.

"So don't go to the Great Snow Mountain in this life. There really are famous Japanese figures there, and they're your nemesis!"

At age 13, you learn that a powerful tribe of nearly a thousand people has migrated from afar and is challenging you.

[At this moment, you can fight a ferocious tiger beast hand-to-hand without using bronze weapons, killing it almost without taking any damage.]

[He can even single-handedly take down hundreds of strong men, and each punch can cripple an adult male; he is truly a war god on earth.]

Although you can't see your stats in the simulation, with the boost from the "Workaholic" talent that just revived this year, you estimate your Strength attribute should be around forty points.

In other words, you not only have terrifyingly high combat power, but you're also incredibly persistent, fighting relentlessly!

[A mere thousand-strong tribe? You'll easily break through it seven or eight times!]

This powerful tribe has over four hundred young and strong warriors (over twelve years old). In this era, it was almost impossible for a savage to live to forty; the vast majority of a tribe consisted of infants and young adults.

[Four hundred warriors may seem formidable, but in a single engagement you penetrated their ranks, instantly felling over a dozen, each one broken and bruised!]

[Your 108 strong men follow behind you; they have all practiced martial arts. Even though bronze armor has not yet been supplied to them, bronze spears have been successfully deployed, making them a civilization level higher than the wooden clubs and stone spears used by the enemy.]

So they came in strong, but left just as quickly.

"How did you get there?"

"Is it the kind of trip that I, Old Sun, would take?"

[Within minutes of fighting, over a hundred people had fallen, their momentum utterly shattered.]

[After a moment, they were terrified and knelt down to show their submission, willing to acknowledge you as their king.]

Just as you were about to assign tasks to them—some to herd livestock, some to farm, and some to hunt—a woman came carrying a baby.

They called the baby the Stone Child, because his mother accidentally dropped him at birth, causing him to fall to the ground and his skull to crack a stone.

[Like a "child of stone" leaping out from a stone that has split open.]

This child has been incredibly strong since he was little; he almost sucked his mother dry while drinking milk, and he was already eating meat before he was even a month old.

These savages offer you this infant in the hope that you will become his father and raise him to be a warrior like yourself.

As for what his biological father might think... who knows who his biological father is? There are over three hundred men of reproductive age in the entire tribe, any of whom could be his father.

"Perhaps he was killed by the simulated flying attack in that Clash of Clans match just now."

"But the savages wouldn't care."

Xu Fei complained that many wild people have a weak concept of "parents and children," and raising offspring is more like "making future gathering and hunting tools." Maternal love and filial piety are not absent, but they are not much.

While it's possible that some savages value family ties highly, most simply want a healthy child.

Therefore, they would even secretly swap the stronger babies born to other wild animals with their own at night, and then swap their own weak and frail biological children with the babies.

The concept of husband and wife has completely disappeared, at least not in the area where he lives. Everyone is just casual sex partners, playing games together at night and going their separate ways during the day.

Of course, although they don't have a "family concept", they still have human emotions. However, they don't regard "having children" and "playing games" as behaviors that "will make the relationship better and should develop feelings".

Does having a child mean you have to love that child? What kind of twisted logic is that!

Just because we played games together yesterday, does that mean we're good friends? Get lost!

Therefore, these savages—they can't be left uncivilized!

[Ding! Please make a choice!]

Option 1: This baby is most likely the one who will beat you to death with a flurry of punches in the future. Just kill him now and be done with it.

[Option Two: What sense of accomplishment would you get from killing an infant under one year old? Raise it a bit bigger first; maybe killing the baby wouldn't be so satisfying!]

Xu Fei: "..."

"Then let's choose option two."

You've decided to raise this kid and educate him properly. If he grows up to be filial and respectful to his elders under your loving influence, that would be great.

But if he grows up and becomes powerful, beating his adoptive father and kicking his godfather, then you will have no choice but to kill your son without regret.

Even if you can't beat him after he grows up... you can still poison him!

That's right.

In prehistoric times, savages knew about "poisoning" and deception, but they did not have the idea of ​​"deceiving others and poisoning them."

Apart from a few wise men, most savages could not connect these two concepts, just as there was no reason to put the completely unrelated words "chicken" and "basketball" together.

用正经一点的说法：教过孩子的都知道，有些幼儿知道1+3=4，但不清楚3+1等于多少。

At 14, you crafted your helmet from a wild beast's skull, donned a coat made from the fur of the fiercest saber-toothed tiger, and carried a bronze spear.

[You lead a tribe of nearly two thousand people, rampaging across the vast Central Plains. Though the Central Plains are vast, you are nearly a king!]

When he has nothing better to do, he uses the "Stone Child's" head to crack walnuts.

"Now, it's impossible for the father and son not to be loving and filial."

This year, you broke through to the fourth rank of Martial Arts Master.

At age 15, the savage tribe of a thousand people discovered a jet-black, hard stone in a wasteland, which they named iron.

Upon hearing the news, you turned to look at the toddler beside the large pot, reaching for meat despite the boiling water, and seemed to understand the origin of his nickname, "Iron-willed."

Your people have offered you iron ore.
