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

At age 5, you awakened a special talent: good health, and (your savage subordinates) created the world's first bronze weapon.

But the cured meat was all gone, and you couldn't help but think of that green bamboo grove, about twenty or thirty miles away.

[Ding! Please make a choice!]

Option 1: Go to that bamboo forest and live among the iron-eating beasts, hiding until you grow to a level with considerable combat strength.

Option 2: Go to the bamboo forest and start another fire, eating as you cook.

Xu Fei: "..."

He chose one.

It wasn't that they were afraid the fire wouldn't kill Xiong Jimi, nor that they couldn't bear to hurt Yuan Gungun, but rather that they didn't want to destroy their own war reserve warehouse.

Bamboo spears, bamboo lances, composite bamboo bows, bamboo armor... bamboo is amazing!

Since the number of warriors in the tribe has decreased, let's improve their quality!

[At six years old, you spent a year immersed in the bamboo forest, earning the affection of many chubby little creatures by manually digging out the tenderest bamboo shoots. Some would even casually toss their own babies to you for a cuddle when offered a bamboo shoot tip.]

[Through the martial arts you taught them, the young and middle-aged savages have seen their physique and strength increase by an average of two or three points, and they have also acquired brand-new equipment.]

The reason for such a significant increase is because the martial art you taught is called "Hot-Blooded Skill."

You need them to grow up quickly and protect themselves quickly.

The flaws of "Hot-Blooded Kung Fu" aren't too significant; it only results in a slight loss of future potential. While it does reduce lifespan to some extent, it's nowhere near as extreme as "Extreme Breaking Kung Fu."

After rapidly advancing to the Martial Soldier level using the Bloodlust Technique, they can live to at least fifty or sixty years old in good health and strength, much longer than before.

Are you sure that even with half their numbers, they can still rival the hunting party they were in peak condition three years ago?

[And you, despite having higher initial stats and growth rate, haven't had the Bloodlust Technique to accelerate your physical development, and haven't yet reached the tenth level of Martial Arts.]

"Remembering the first day of Hot-Blooded Kung Fu."

Indeed, we only learn to cherish some things after we lose them.

"...But I really dislike lone wolves who are sharp-minded and impulsive at the drop of a hat, especially those who roam the world alone."

Although your base stats are low, with the addition of the bamboo spear, your combat power surpasses that of well-equipped savage hunters, and you can even handle two or three at once.

Your hands suddenly feel a little itchy.

In summer, carrying your provisions, you set off for the vast northern grasslands.

There's a lack of meat.

[Plump herds of cattle and sheep await you ahead, along with tamed horses capable of traveling hundreds of miles a day, all waiting to be conquered!]

At age 7, you unexpectedly encountered another savage tribe. They were exceptionally ferocious, wielding bone weapons, and were cannibals. The tribe numbered about 30 people, all of them warriors.

The cannibals of this era did not form a normal community; they were like bandits, never raising offspring within their own groups, and there were no children or elderly people.

[They only absorb fresh blood, assimilating other strong savages into their cannibalistic ranks, and wander aimlessly searching for their kind.]

Undoubtedly, this will be a one-sided battle.

[The disparity lies both in numbers and in equipment.]

[You drew your composite bamboo bows from hundreds of paces away, but the accuracy wasn't very high; you only managed to kill ten enemies before engaging in close combat.]

[You also joined the battle, wielding a bronze spear with a whooshing sound. When the entire cannibalistic tribe was wiped out, you were also wounded, with chunks of flesh torn from your arm and calf.]

[Three ordinary tribesmen were killed by the enemy's bone knives, and almost all the hunters were wounded.]

"...When your strength is insufficient, enemies are everywhere."

"Then why don't you just stay put in the bamboo forest?"

But you don't want to live a life of quiet desperation.

"???"

That foolish original entity, that ignorant observer outside the simulator, probably still harbors the thought, "Why won't the simulator develop a little more?"

"What are you saying?! What kind of talk is this?!"

Xu Fei was furious!

"They've rebelled! They've mutinied!"

"The split soul is attacking the main body!"

"Is anyone there? Is anyone here to settle this matter?!"

"How could such a low-quality split soul exist in this world?!"

Today, I'll let you expose his true colors.

[You, Xu Fei, you keep saying you're going to play it safe and focus on developing your character, but what you really think is a completely different story!]

You are a born fighter, always yearning for thrilling battles!

Xu Fei: "..."

He flipped forward through the simulation information.

"That's not right, we didn't practice the Hot Blood Technique beforehand, did we?"

"How come your brain is still broken?"

A chill ran down his spine. Could it be that he had absorbed too many memories and brought back the personality tainted by the Hot-Blooded Kung Fu?

"So, does this mean I also have a potential risk of developing the disease?"

This has absolutely nothing to do with the so-called "breaking through the limits of hot-blooded martial arts"!

It originates from the deepest cry of your heart.

Xu Fei scratched his head: "Really?"

I don't believe it.

[Your heart has always yearned for the extraordinary, craving excitement. Your youthful spirit remains dormant, not because it's unfulfilled, but simply because you lack the opportunity to ignite and unleash it!]

In this prehistoric simulator era where you can start over countless times, you can express yourself without restraint and do whatever you want without facing the real consequences of death!

[The battle is exhilarating!]

Aside from reducing intelligence, the "Hot-Blooded Technique" only amplifies the practitioner's emotions and thoughts. It won't magically make a timid person brave; it will only make that timid person run away faster.

Therefore, it will only amplify your desire for battle and combat, but will not forcibly rewrite your will to make you warlike.

After all, that iron nail has been branded deep within your heart since nine years ago.

"Alright, that's enough."

Xu Fei said calmly, "There's no need to say anything more."

When you heard the devastating news, when you saw that small iron box, you hated yourself for being so weak, for being unable to do anything, for lacking the power to take revenge.

Just like that "father" who existed in your memory for less than a few months, he too chose to go to Tianmen for power, never to return.

"..."

From that moment on, you vowed to possess power, and later, inspired by the veterans in your neighborhood, you resolved to storm the Heavenly Gate and vanquish all the billions of races of the heavens!

Since you've come to this world, why not stand at the peak and annihilate all enemies!?
