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

Xu Fei took out his phone and carefully searched online, finally finding the term "perfect body".

After browsing various forums, groups, and communication websites, his furrowed brows relaxed.

Most people who possess this talent are actually criticizing it, pointing out its drawbacks.

They could have awakened a high-level talent called Iron Bones, which could have increased their constitution by up to 250 points.

However, if the awakened talent "mistakenly" falls into the Perfect Body category, it will only increase all attributes by 20 points.

Originally, martial artists could choose to awaken their talents through their own efforts, but once a perfect body is born, most of their efforts become futile.

Some might think this is a good deal: the Perfect Body is a comprehensive enhancement!

Let's go back to the previous example. A martial artist who increases all aspects of physique, strength, and spirit by 20 points, raising the average attribute from 50 to 70, versus the previous martial artist who increased physique by 250 points to reach 300 points, who has a greater advantage?

Without a doubt, it's the latter, which can easily slap the former into a mess, because the difference between each point increases as the attribute progresses!

For martial artists, some abilities are actually dispensable, especially at higher levels. Why bother adding those attributes like vision, hearing, smell, taste, and even the spirit so evenly?

Enough is fine. It's better to allocate resources to constitution and strength, since constitution attributes already include some of these. Physical strength and blood energy are the key!

Good steel should be used on the blade!

What do you, a martial artist, need such high mental strength for? You can't even unleash forbidden spells!

This is the opinion of other martial artists: the perfect body may seem "flawless", but in reality it is all show and no substance, a mediocrity that drags you down!

"A perfect match!"

Xu Fei, however, turned her worry into joy.

The reason why people don't want this talent is because the number of times they can break through realms and obtain talents is limited!

If someone only has one piece of good steel, of course they should use it wisely.

He has countless pieces of fine steel. Although he obtains relatively little steel after each breakthrough, he can break through countless times, making the entire knife forged from pure steel from every angle!

"Others are triangular warriors, quadrilateral warriors, or at best hexagonal warriors... but I'm a circular warrior!"

It is conceivable that, unless he acquires some special talents in the future, his breakthroughs will all translate into an increase in the upper limit of his "Perfect Body".

Special talents refer to things that humans shouldn't normally possess, such as a liquid body, earth element affinity, a true dragon's tail, invisibility, etc.

After all, a perfect body is only perfect within a very large range, and it cannot encompass all the types of talents in the world. Otherwise, the upper limit of the perfect body he awakened would be considered extremely high if it had even 0.1 points.

"There's still a moderate poison resistance that hasn't been merged into Perfect Body. Is it because it's a pretty good intermediate talent that Perfect Body can't absorb for the time being?"

Xu Fei seemed to be deep in thought.

After the data on the perfect body was finalized, the sky was gradually turning light, but the boy felt no sleepiness.

He absorbed everything from the simulation and broke through to the Martial Master level at the young age of 16. He also condensed a layer of spear intent. At this moment, he could finally say that he had 100% confidence in being admitted to the Shenhua Four Martial Arts Academy!

The vast Shenhua Empire, spanning tens of millions of kilometers, boasts a population in the hundreds of billions. The number of martial arts examinees each year is countless. From among so many examinees, including nobles, direct descendants of the Martial Emperor, children of the Martial King, and outstanding talents from the extraterrestrial human race, one must stand out...

This is no less difficult than Wang Erniu's dog getting into Tsinghua or Peking University in a remote mountainous area.

Just a few days ago, he had no hope of getting into even an ordinary martial arts university, but now he is able to become a top martial arts student!

"I'll be working all night tonight."

After breaking through to the Martial Master level, Xu Fei knew that, like some browser games, he now had several more upgradeable features.

In some older browser games, characters could not only level up themselves, but also upgrade their equipment. Later, after reaching level 30, a pet and mount upgrade system would be unlocked, and after level 50, a rune enhancement system would be unlocked. After level 80, a bloodline enhancement system, spirit pattern enhancement, gem inlay, weapon enchantment, and even a halo effect floating behind the character would appear.

There are more and more projects to cultivate.

There's not much to train in martial arts; you can only improve your attributes and hone your basic martial skills.

In addition to improving their basic attributes and practicing martial arts techniques, martial artists can also enhance their "quality of qi and blood".

And condensing the true meaning of martial arts... However, this is an additional item. Generally, only the peak of martial arts masters can condense the true meaning of martial arts. Excellent martial artists can condense it earlier, while some unsuccessful martial artists cannot condense it even when they reach the third realm of martial generals.

Xu Fei felt that the city lord of Licheng, the fat, white man named "Yuan Zhong," had not condensed true meaning.

True meaning can enhance combat power and make it easier for martial artists to break through realm barriers, but it is not a necessity for breakthrough. Even without true meaning, one can break through to the third realm by accumulating years of bottleneck-breaking or taking powerful medicines.

"So that city lord broke through to the Martial General level at a young age and can project his Qi and blood... he might just be a 'medicine addict' martial artist."

Furthermore, it's likely that none of the second-realm teachers at No. 3 Middle School possess the true essence of martial arts; otherwise, they shouldn't just stay at the school teaching; they should choose to strive for the third realm.

Nothing is absolute, and it's not impossible that some powerful martial artist might grow tired of fighting, leave the battlefields of the heavens, and choose to teach and retire in this remote martial arts school.

However, Xu Fei spent nearly four years at school without ever encountering such a "mysterious old immortal".

The boy's gaze swept over the simulator's information screen.

The simulator is quite comprehensive, with an additional information bar below the basic attributes and talents.

[Martial Arts True Meaning: First Layer of Spear Intent; Health and Vitality Boost: 12% Strength, 9% Agility, 11% Power, 8% Vitality]

As mentioned earlier, the true meaning of martial arts lies in the effect of increasing blood and qi.

A martial artist's vital energy cannot be released externally, but it can flow within the martial artist's body, strengthening several of the martial artist's major bodily functions.

Take Xu Fei as an example. When he fully catalyzes the power of qi and blood in his body, his strength will increase by 12%, his agility will increase by 9%, his physical strength will increase by 11%, and his vitality will increase by 8%.

As for spiritual power and control attributes... these are not included, since they are the power of blood and qi, not other soul power or immortal energy.

Having just broken through to the Martial Master level, his Qi and Blood quality is mediocre, so the amplification effect is limited.

But it doesn't matter, Xu Fei just asked Ji Xuanjun yesterday morning for the Qi and Blood training methods and martial arts techniques from his family's martial arts school.

"The Ventilation Fist" and "The Ventilation Strength".
