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

[Masterful Gun Skill (45 points)]

"It's much cheaper than the previous Perfect level spear technique... which means that the difficulty of going from beginner to perfect level spear technique is easier than going from perfect level to ultimate level."

"It's also possible that I went quite deep into the 'Perfect Level' at the time."

Xu Fei seemed thoughtful. From this point of view, the simulator is quite considerate. When encountering similar overwrite options, it can subtract the price of the part that is already owned.

[Talent: Wind Chaser Kick (150 points)]

"It's also a functional talent, greatly increasing running speed while slightly reducing stamina consumption while running."

"Not only can I run faster than before, but I can also run for longer."

"Yes, a talent that has been selectively chosen through long-term hunting."

[Talent: Mild Poison Resistance (120 points, covering slight poison resistance)]

"It's only half the price of the last weak poison resistance (80 points), and the difference in price has been reduced. My good simulator, I will never say you are greedy again."

[Talent: Moderate Poison Resistance (520 points, covering slight poison resistance)]

"It seems the original price for moderate poison resistance is 600 points."

When Xu Fei finished looking at the last talent, he thought that all the rewards that could be purchased in this simulation had been displayed, since "talent" was always listed at the end of the reward list.

But this time, after reviewing the talent, there were actually two more purchase options available.

When his gaze fell on the next line, Xu Fei's pupils dilated instantly—

[Spear Intent - Level 1: (500 points)]

Gun intent!

The true meaning of martial arts!

So that's why!

All the previous doubts were now reasonably explained.

In his final battle with Sword Tiger King, under extremely perilous circumstances, his highly concentrated will combined with his unparalleled spear skills allowed him to unleash his "spear intent" at that moment!

The condensation of martial arts essence caused his divine soul attribute to soar from 31 points to 39 points, which is perfectly reasonable.

This is because it is generally only when a martial artist breaks through to the level of a martial general that they need to concentrate their true intent to more easily break through the barrier between realms.

"Having mastered the true essence of martial arts, I will truly become a prodigy, and not just any ordinary one. I'll be more than qualified to pass the entrance exams for the Four Great Martial Arts Schools of Shenhua!"

Xu Fei was certain that once he fully absorbed what he had learned from this simulation, he would be able to easily defeat some of the teachers at the second level of cultivation from the Third Middle School, relying on this profound understanding of martial arts!

Including his homeroom teacher, Yang Jingwen, a top student who graduated from the prestigious Wuhan University!

Even if other teachers have reached the second level of martial arts master through years of martial arts training, possess five or six low-level talents and a physique of over 80 points, they still cannot be his opponent because they have not experienced actual combat due to their long teaching experience!

What is this?

This is pure effort and sweat!

Countless days and nights of arduous practice in marksmanship, one life-or-death battle after another, culminating in the ultimate breakthrough at the moment of death!

What else could it be but sweat?

What else is it but hard work?

He deserves it!

"Buy this piece of my hard work right now!"

Xu Fei turned her gaze to the last item.

[Slight wear and tear on the second-realm barrier (7 points, does not affect the quality of the talent)]

"..."

"Wow!"

Xu Fei was truly shocked, even more so than by the birth of "Gun Intent".

Although it's just a cheap item that costs seven points, the profound meaning it represents is unimaginable!

Boundary barriers... these things get thicker the further you go!

It is common for martial artists at the third or fourth realm to be stuck at their level for decades or even centuries, exhausting their lifespan and having no further chance to break through, simply because the barrier between realms is too thick!

No matter how hard I try, I can't break it!

Don't be fooled by how easily he broke through the barrier of the first realm; it was because his stats were high enough at the time. To forcibly break through the barrier of the first realm, you would need at least 26 points of physique.

A normal martial arts student without talent would only have a maximum of 20 points of physique, so how could they possibly break through?

Many martial artists use the method of grinding, slowly grinding down the thickness of that realm barrier to 25 points, 24 points, until 20 points... This often takes five or six years. If you grind it out, you may not succeed even after more than ten years!

Therefore, they mostly resorted to other means, such as engaging in fierce battles, in which they could unleash and catalyze their physical potential to grind faster.

Alternatively, one can use certain breakthrough-specific pills to safely and without side effects increase their constitution and corresponding strength to 25 or 26 points, and then break through the realm barrier.

But as I said before, the barriers to mastery become thicker the further you go!

To forcibly break through the barrier of the second realm, you need 85 points of physique and strength!

Even if Xu Fei buys all the talents, he only gets 60 points in physique and 57 points in strength, a difference of more than 20 points... Of course, this is also related to his bad luck, as he has not been able to get any new physique talents.

"Why didn't this item purchase option appear when I broke through to the next realm?"

"...Could it be because I broke through directly in the simulation, causing the simulator to determine that I didn't need to further refine the bottlenecks?"

Xu Fei stopped thinking about it and simply emptied her shopping cart.

"Come back! My sweat, my efforts, my struggles, everything I have!"

Xu Fei threw off the covers and got out of bed.

With one step, he has already advanced to the peak of the tenth level of Martial Soldier, half a step into the realm of Martial Master!

【体质：45→50（60），掌控：43→48（53），气力：45→50（57），神魄：31→39（42），天赋：健康，……，中度毒抗】

There is another layer of spear intent, a spear intent that can truly and significantly enhance his combat power!

Although nearly 2000 points were deducted, the majority of the points were spent on intermediate talents and spear intent, and the remaining total points are still 5440, so this simulation is still a positive income.

As for that barrier of realm, which has been slightly refined but still requires a physique and strength of around 84.7 to break through...

Xu Fei's lips twitched.

He then took out dozens of Yuan Crystals.

He immediately sat down cross-legged in the room.

With spirits united, the will to fight was ignited.

With a deafening roar, the world instantly became clear, as if space itself had been shattered!

The barrier between realms has been breached!

What a joke! Spear intent is usually something only a martial master can condense to facilitate their breakthrough to the level of a martial general... For a mere soldier to use it to break through to the level of a martial master is more than just an easy task.

Effortless!

The breakthrough of a martial artist is not the same as that of a martial soldier. After breaking through the barrier of realm, Xu Fei's "blood breath" did not immediately transform into a higher-level "blood and qi power", nor did it give birth to a new talent.

On the contrary, he felt an extreme hunger.

Without hesitation, Xu Fei grabbed the Yuan Crystals beside him, quickly separated a dozen or so and swallowed them, rapidly absorbing and refining them to satisfy his hungry body.

If I don't quickly absorb vital energy, the barrier between my realms will heal!
