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

You blinked, then realized that the "dragon" he was referring to must be a crocodile. Therefore, the owner of this heart was obvious—the crocodile ancestor who had escaped right before your eyes years ago!

Xu Fei: "..."

"...That's right, if it hadn't rolled so fast, it would have been dead long ago."

"But I never expected that my big son Tie Man would get the better deal, picking up a big, crippled, and blind old crocodile, and using the severe injuries I had sustained earlier to hunt it down."

It has a sense of destiny.

A young hero grows up to become the master of all beasts on this vast land. He defeats the legendary dragon in the great lake, but he relies not only on his own strength but also on the severe injury his father left on the dragon!

This is not an exaggeration. Even if a crocodile has other senses such as smell and touch, its fighting ability will definitely drop by more than one level after it goes blind!

Although this heart is slightly different from that of a typical crocodile, it is, after all, a ten-meter-long ancestor of crocodiles, so some mutation is to be expected.

[With this thought in mind, and looking at the new scars on Tie Man's body, you feel moved. Good child.]

[Next time we'll adopt him as our son. The original savage tribe's education level was a mess; they turned such a good kid into a madman who could kill people with his wild punches, unlike you.]

[Nobody here ↗↗]

[Compared to you—]

【Understand better ↘↘】

[Educating a savage!]

[Tie Man learned from some wandering travelers in the tribe that the heart of the dragon could grant the eater endless power and life, which is why he traveled north to slay the dragon for you!]

You cooked and ate that "dragon's heart."

[Originally, you thought this couldn't possibly have the effects described by the wandering wild man, but you cooked and ate it only to repay Tie Man's filial piety and to avenge the time you were crushed by the Crocodile Ancestor.]

Unexpectedly, after entering the stomach, a torrent of vital energy surged forth, like a thousand-year-old ginseng, providing immense nourishment!

You even feel that some of your lost life potential has been restored!

[This heart is incredibly strong!?]

"If I were at my peak and absorbed all the vital energy contained in this crocodile heart at full speed... it would increase my constitution by at least 0.3!"

Although it's a little short, maybe this 0.3 in physique will be enough to successfully reach the next integer point, allowing that guy outside to buy a few more.

[You're a little disappointed, because you're currently in a state of decline. This heart can't help you push your limits again, nor can it even bring you back to your peak condition. It can only forcibly extend your life by about a year.]

At 31, the nutrients replenished by "Dragon Heart" are exhausted, and you begin to age rapidly again, like a shriveled sponge removed from the sea and exposed to the sun.

At 32, you struggle to walk even a few steps, looking like you're in your eighties or nineties.

[Back in the savage era, an old man like you would have been nothing more than a piece of trash abandoned in the mountains for the Japanese to gloat over if the tribe was even slightly short of food.]

[But you have popularized education on old age, and the savages are no longer as ignorant as they were years ago. In addition, you have done so much, leading to a change in the entire era. Now you are being worshipped as a "living god."]

[You have sent over a thousand text messages, covering a wide range of everyday objects.]

You also choreographed dances and poems so that those savages wouldn't spend their nights either practicing martial arts or clapping.

Perhaps they can no longer be called savages.

Rather, they were the ancestors of the primitive era.

At 34, unexpected events always seem to strike.

While taking a leisurely stroll through the village, you tripped over a stone and bumped your head on the ground.

He died at lightning speed after lying in bed for a month.

Xu Fei: "..."

He also suffered a "deadly fall from an elderly person's head".

Anyone with elderly family members knows that the elderly are not immune to illness and injury. They may seem healthy on ordinary days, but in the days before warm clothing was common, winter was a hurdle and a disaster for them.

With the widespread use of air conditioning and other heating equipment, many people in their eighties and nineties seem to be able to walk and jump all year round, but if they suddenly fall down one day, their physical condition will deteriorate rapidly.

After your death, these people were filled with grief. They piled iron tools and wood on your body, then set it on fire, burning it for nine days and nine nights.

The iron artifacts mixed with your ashes were later known as Relics...

Ascension Progress (66%)

Points earned: 1285 (Total points: 3655)

"I was too Zen in this life, and I didn't set fire to the mountain, so I didn't get the world destruction achievement with a particularly high score."

Xu Fei pondered, rubbing his chin. The main reason was that he had more points than he could ever spend, and he wasn't a heartless speedrunner.

The following items can be redeemed with points.

[Constitution +1 (15 points, maximum 39 points)]

"fine."

Xu Fei breathed a sigh of relief. The points required to purchase every 10 attribute points had increased, previously they were 2, 5, and 10 points respectively.

This 15 points proves that it's not a doubling of the previous amount; otherwise, even several thousand points wouldn't be enough to buy a single point of physique.

[Control +1 (10 points, maximum 36 points)]

[Stamina +1 (10 points, maximum 39 points)]

【Extreme Breaking Technique (Improved version of Hot-Blooded Technique, 20 points)】

"Tsk tsk tsk, they actually broke this down from memory and are selling it. How heartless."

[32 Years of Experience and Memories (32 Points)]

[Talent: Agility (120 points)]

As usual, Xu Fei waved her hand and emptied the shopping cart.

Besides experiences and memories.

Because at the end of the simulation, although SimFly was only just thirty years old, he was too old; his mental age had rotted away.

Even if memories only have a slight impact on personality, Xu Fei is unwilling to experience them.

This time, memories will not be inherited.
