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

[Enduring the overwhelming pain coursing through your body, you staggered and rolled forward, picking up the bent iron spear and fiercely slaying the two leather-clad figures that were thrashing and thrashing at you.]

This deterred the remaining crocodiles, preventing a repeat of the tragedy of being devoured by wild boars.

[Next, you left the lakeshore and lay low for about half a month until you could move around easily.]

You head towards the tribe in the Central Plains that you yourself built.

The experience of being crushed by the crocodile patriarch was like a wake-up call, suddenly extinguishing your fighting spirit; now you just want to go back to retirement.

Although you are only 22 years old, you have already passed your peak and there is no possibility of further progress. This is tantamount to announcing that your future will only be one of ups and downs...

The initial drive in the past few years was merely driven by resentment; now, that initial burst of energy has dissipated.

At 23, the numerous injuries from your previous crushing defeat have healed, and you are once again able to fight with all your might. However, you clearly sense that your condition is declining.

The first thing to decline is not physical constitution, but physical strength!

You feel your physical strength slightly decreasing, and the blood flowing through your veins and muscles seems a little weaker than before.

Xu Fei opened the panel

[23 years old, Physique: 39 (46), Control: 35 (40), Strength: 38 (43), Divine Soul: 28 (30), Talent: ...]

"...There's really been no improvement at all, and my strength has even decreased a bit."

"However, his control over his body has improved considerably. After all, he came of age several years ago, and his body stopped developing, allowing him to hone his combat skills with a stable physique."

Mastering this attribute is important in some ways, but not so important in others...

Because one force can overcome ten techniques.

It can only be used to turn the tide in battles where the strength of the opponents is similar.

However, at later levels, martial artists must have sufficient self-control at certain stages in order to continue breaking through.

Alternatively, when some martial artists are temporarily stuck at a certain level and unable to break through, they can also improve their "attack multiplier" by constantly honing their skills, thereby enhancing their hidden combat power.

Xu Fei pressed his fist against his right cheek, adopting a relatively comfortable posture, and felt the 5D immersive environment brought by the simulator: "A normal person's prime of life should be in their thirties. Even if their energy and spirit are suppressed by various work, they can still maintain it until around the age of thirty."

"The peak period of a simulated flying soldier who has been promoted to the first level should be even longer. Even if he stops practicing martial arts afterward, he can maintain it until he is fifty or sixty years old before gradually declining."

"However, under the combined torment of the Bloodlust Technique and the Extreme Breaking Technique, even his lifespan was greatly reduced."

You have returned to your tribe, a tribe that has entered the Bronze and Iron Ages, transitioning to a pastoral and agricultural civilization, but still clinging to hunting.

Firstly, the Central Plains has always been a gathering place for wild animals; if they don't hunt them, the wild animals will provoke them.

Secondly, those two outputs have not yet stabilized.

Your adopted son, Tie Man, is 12 years old this year. In the years since you left, he has shown an even more terrifying rate of growth and strength, and has already mastered the martial arts you previously passed down.

Last year, he killed a baby elephant with his bare hands, denting its skull. He was then knocked down and trampled by an elephant, but when he got up, he simply dusted himself off.

Upon hearing of his invincible clan elder father's return, Tie Man was overjoyed. Barefoot, he kicked up clouds of dust, leaving countless shallow footprints, and swiftly walked towards you.

"Dad, I want to fight you!"

"I'm much better now than when you left!"

【you:"……"】

[The Iron Barbarian in front of you is the same age as the Iron Barbarian from the second simulation, but you know that his combat strength is at least 50% stronger than in that simulation!]

Back then, he knew nothing of martial arts, and at twelve years old, he hadn't yet reached the limits of human development. But now... he's probably already broken through to a higher realm.

Breaking through a realm signifies the awakening of a new talent. He probably already possessed a high-level talent, and after the breakthrough, he will likely gain at least one more!

In that case, all your attributes will be at least twice what they were when you left!

Even your martial arts master-level homeroom teacher, Yang Jingwen, is probably no match for him!

[Ding! Please make a choice!]

Option 1: Let's do it! Use your honed and formidable fighting skills to subdue this rebellious son!

Option Two: Dad's getting old and doesn't want to get involved in these pointless squabbles.

"one."

Xu Fei didn't hesitate much. The gains from continuing to live in the simulator were minimal; at most, it would only add some "control" attributes.

This would give him the perfect opportunity to see the true nature of that brute, whether he was a pure warmonger or a wicked villain by nature.

If it's the latter, he won't mind in the next simulation and will directly block the fountain, kill Iron Barbarian, and get the achievement.

If you can't get the achievement by blocking the spring and killing him... then don't teach him martial arts, and then pick a day to poison the fully grown Iron Barbarian (meaning you can get the achievement after killing him), and take advantage of his weakness to kill him!

Just like that undefeated Japanese swordsman.

[You began the battle, each clad in iron armor and wielding iron spears.]

From the very beginning, you were at a disadvantage. His strength and speed far surpassed yours, making you feel like you were facing a powerful bear!

[And it was incredibly agile. The polar bear king you killed might have had higher stats than the current Iron Barbarian, but it was just too clumsy.]

Although your combat skills far surpass his, they are useless against a pure overwhelming force.

After more than ten rounds, your hand was throbbing with pain from the impact, and the iron armor on your chest was dented half an inch. The battle ended with the spear tip pressed against your throat.

[Iron Man loosened his grip, the spear tip grazing your steel breastplate as you fell to the ground.]

The young man felt a mix of emotions: a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings of emotion), 喜喜 (xǐxǐ, joy), and 忧思糸 (yōusī, melancholy).

"Dad, I'm better than you now."

You sighed softly and patted his head.

[After all, we've raised him for several years. As the saying goes, one man's hero is another man's enemy. Under your humane and compassionate education, Tie Man's moral standards are actually higher than 99% of savages.]

"Full of human compassion, referring to: using his head to crack walnuts."

You placed the beast bone helmet on his head, having thoughtfully decorated it with green leaves beforehand. Iron Barbarian liked this symbol very much.

On this day, the center of power in the tribe seemed to begin to shift.

Savages only submit to two types of people: those who possess "wisdom" and "strength."

[Originally, even though you would occasionally leave the tribe to roam, you were still the undisputed ruler of this tribe, after all, you simultaneously wielded the two great powers of "wisdom" and "strength."]

[Now, although no one can yet match even a fraction of your wisdom, the throne of power has been handed over to the Iron Barbarians!]

[Afterwards, you learn that Tie Man has indeed advanced to the first-level Martial Soldier realm through the martial arts you passed down, his blood aura has been born, and he has suddenly become much stronger (awakening a new talent).]

[His base stats should still be in the twenties, not exceeding the third level of Martial Soldier, but with the boost from his talent, he has definitely reached the level of Martial Master.]
