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

"Being cautious is good, being cautious is good!"

"Survival is the most important thing. Who cares about anything else? Just focus on maxing out your development before worrying about anything else!"

At 13, you decide that after finishing your martial arts training, you'll focus on practicing various hunting techniques. Compared to gymnastics, this training method can improve your control over your body from another perspective.

At 14, you successfully hunted a cheetah galloping across the savanna.

[Achievement: Cheetah]

[At 15, your hunting skills are already unparalleled, beyond compare. You killed a lion in a fit of extreme rage!]

[Achievement: Lion Hunter]

At 16, you encountered hunters from another tribe near your tribe's hunting grounds. They were newcomers, and according to the unformed customs of the savages, this was considered an intrusion into your territory.

[Their hunting territory.]

"...You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Furthermore, the other party's attitude was very unfriendly. Regarding this...

[Ding! Please make a choice!]

[Option 1: The most important thing now is to strengthen your own family group, let them know that you are a legend who possesses both wisdom and strength, and become their close friend.]

Option Two: Spark a war, involving dozens of people in a fierce firefight!

"When I was six years old, we merged with the tribe on the spot, but this time there's a choice..."

Is it because the simulated "me" is struggling with indecision?

"Or rather, the last encounter between tribes was a true 'tribe' encounter, including women, children, and the elderly from both sides. This time, however, it's purely a meeting of hunters, with combatants on both sides."

Xu Fei opened the panel.

[Age 16, Constitution: 18, Control: 20, Strength: 18, Spirit: 23]

I've reached the eighth dan in martial arts, a two-dan improvement compared to before the simulation started.

The improvement was actually very small, because there were no healthy and nutritious food or medicine supplements in prehistoric times, and the living environment was completely barren. A large amount of energy that he should have used for martial arts training was diverted to repairing his body. Even boiling water and eating cooked food only slightly improved the situation.

Otherwise, they could probably be aiming for the first level of martial prowess by now.

"Even so, there probably aren't many savages stronger than me..."

"If it were a non-supernatural world, the physical limit for ordinary people would be ten points, unless there were some gifted individuals like Bolt or Tyson."

"However, the prehistoric era in this simulator contains trace amounts of vital energy, which means that some savages may also have a constitution of more than ten points."

Xu Fei instinctively wanted to avoid fighting.

A martial artist's four stats do not increase linearly. For example, ten points of physique represent a lifting force of two hundred kilograms, while twenty points of physique represent a lifting force of five hundred kilograms!

Eighteen points of physique is more than twice as strong as ten points of physique!

"If I were to return to the world I lived in before I traveled back in time, I would probably be a top-tier, multi-sport athlete, capable of breaking multiple world records."

"Back in ancient times, he would be a super warrior surpassing even Jing Tianming's best friend and Dong Zhuo's husband, but..."

This is the prehistoric era!

Without heavy armor, the gap between Muscle Tyrant and Greyhound will be greatly reduced. You should know that even a first-level formal martial artist can have their eyes gouged out by an infant.

Besides, there are only sixteen people on our side of the flight simulator, while there are forty on the other side!

"Option one: it's best to avoid conflicts between people if possible. You might even be able to recruit them as your underlings in the future, adding to your fighting strength."

The other party rejects your peaceful negotiations and throws a rock at your knee.

[Unable to dodge in time, you suffered a kneecap injury. Taking advantage of their superior numbers, the enemy launched a fierce attack. After a brief clash, your side lost seven men, while they lost fifteen.]

Ultimately, they were the first to retreat, but you too were too exhausted to fight and could only return to your tribe's encampment with the wounded.

Xu Fei: "..."

After careful analysis, it turned out that he had made a fool of himself and dragged the simulation down.

No, this wasn't holding him back, it was a real slap on the knee!

He was not reconciled.

"Why did he attack me directly? The villains in the simulator aren't like this! He should have pretended to agree after I chose peaceful interaction, then I'd raise his pseudo-favorability, I'd occasionally send him prey, then we'd have special interactions during that special savage festival, and finally, during a mysterious event in their tribe's heart, I'd confide my need for merging! He agreed to merge with my tribe, and then I showed him my special ignition and composite bow crafting technology, and that's when he suddenly turned on me and attacked. Why did he just refuse and try to kill me right away!? The villains in the simulator aren't like this at all, I don't accept this!"

"Bullshit!"

On your way back, you limped and couldn't help but curse.

"Am I out of my mind?! Why would I choose to negotiate with those bastards?"

Xu Fei silently lowered his head and tapped his finger.

He knew nothing; he was just a complete stranger.

[You are filled with hatred; seven of your top generals, whom you've nurtured over many years, have fallen just like that!]

They're just some lowly savages; they're really giving them attitude!

This revenge must be taken, absolutely!

Just like the stone spike that killed you in the last simulation, he had previously slipped and fallen into the muddy swamp due to an accident.

To save him, you grabbed a sharpened stick to try and pull him out. You accidentally poked his neck, but there was nothing you could do; it was just bad luck, not your fault.

Now that you haven't died from this setback, you must give those savages their just deserts!

Two days later, your leg injury had healed somewhat, and the hunting party found the location of the savage tribe.

Listening to the reports from several team members, you fell silent.

Your tribe currently numbers only about seventy people, of whom more than thirty are children under ten years old who have not yet developed the ability to fight.

But that invading savage tribe... has two or three hundred people!

[You know this doesn't mean the other side really has two or three hundred people; it means there are far more than you can count.]

They can't possibly be a match for us. In a direct confrontation, they'd be no match, even with more advanced weapons!

Are we really just going to give up like this?

[Ding! Please make a choice!]

Option 1: Endure it. Our tribe's fighting strength is clearly inferior to the enemy's right now; it's better to make a run for it.

Option Two: Use modern wisdom and do it!

Xu Fei: "..."

He could vaguely sense some of the simulated scenarios.

For example, the sudden attack by that group of savages, or the injured right knee.

For example, the anger he felt in the simulation.

"Choose two!"

This time, however, he wasn't acting recklessly, because he vaguely sensed Xu Fei's intention to imitate him.

He cannot directly interfere with the other party outside the simulation, but he can analyze the other party's situation and select the relatively advantageous option.

Yes, relatively advantageous.

This is a grassland; although there are sparse trees, it is mostly grass.

【You should go to the outer edge of that tribe, hide in the dense grass, and wait until nightfall when their hunting party returns in full force.】

Move to the upwind side and take out several sets of fire-making tools.

The firelight bathed your face in a deep red glow, and despite the headwind, you could still feel the intense heat on your face and body.

At this moment, you feel like a devil, having just crawled down from hell to earth.

[Because you released a crimson beast that could devour the heavens and the earth.]

……

(Did they arrive so quickly? I'm going to send out more notices before going to the old bookstore to let them know (ﾟωﾟ))
