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

Before the simulation began, from the time he returned home until midnight, Xu Fei spent the time reading two electronic documents and watching instructional videos on Qi and Blood Martial Arts.

"What I was going to get yesterday, I can get my hands on today."

He pushed open the door and went downstairs, searching the surrounding breakfast stalls on the street. Xu Fei deliberately crossed several streets and chose multiple shops to avoid being recognized by acquaintances.

They ordered only meat dishes rich in qi and blood, visited seven or eight shops, and spent over a hundred shen hua yuan to finally fill their stomachs.

Breaking through the barrier of realm consumes so much energy; the energy of those Yuan Crystals is used to create new talents and does not replenish the body's own nourishment.

Xu Fei was also reluctant to use them to replenish nutrients. A single Yuan Crystal is so expensive, costing 10,000 yuan. To make up for the losses from this breakthrough, he would need to consume at least one-twentieth of a Yuan Crystal, which would cost 500 yuan!

But when it came to buying those ordinary breakfast items, it only cost a little over one hundred yuan!

Every little bit helps.

After eating his fill, Xu Fei returned to his neighborhood and practiced two martial arts techniques related to qi and blood until dawn.

Qi and blood martial arts are different from ordinary martial arts. They require the use of one's own qi and blood power for assistance, making them more powerful and varied than ordinary martial arts. Of course, they are also more difficult to learn.

Xu Fei practiced several times but failed to reach the "entry-level" standard. Several times his qi and blood energy was disrupted, almost injuring his body.

This is also the norm for martial arts masters. Newly trained martial arts masters, without guidance, have weak control over the newly born and powerful force of qi and blood, and are particularly prone to injuring themselves before injuring others.

Xu Fei had extensive experience in simulations and possessed a high level of control, so his performance was relatively good—at least he didn't accidentally rupture his own blood vessels or arteries!

As for the "ventilation energy," he had also practiced it several times. It required tempering one's qi and blood in a special way, and a complete cycle normally took more than a minute, while also consuming 1% of the qi and blood power of a newly promoted martial artist.

"The effect is quite minimal; I didn't feel any change in my blood and energy levels."

"That's true. Generally, you need to circulate your Qi and Blood at least a thousand times to see a slight effect, and tens of thousands of times to see a more noticeable improvement."

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xu Fei stopped his cultivation and headed towards the Third Middle School campus.

"Tomorrow is the day we head to North Lake City to participate in the 37-City Trial."

The boy counted the items on the way.

"There are 29 days left until the advanced martial arts assessment."

"There are 29 bars of energy left in the simulator."

"I still have 75 Yuan Crystals left."

"My savings amount to a little over 71."

"The winner of that trial not only received a 'Blood Cleansing Fruit' worth one million yuan, but also an additional one million yuan limit on the purchase of martial arts resources."

"This also helps replenish the energy I've used up on my breakthrough... After all, what if the prices in the next simulated world are too high?"

Xu Fei was mindful of potential dangers even in times of peace; breaking through to the Martial Master level was too expensive!

After pouring all the Yuan Crystals I had into the simulator, I only had 100 bars of energy, which was far from enough!

At the very least, we need to accumulate enough energy for a thousand simulations, right?

……

As Xu Fei walked down the street, he heard some shopkeepers chatting a dozen meters away.

"A major incident has occurred in the north!"

"It seems a country was wiped out?"

"Nonsense! There was a king who betrayed his country, and he was even royalty. How could the country be destroyed... How many people would have died?!"

Xu Fei's heart skipped a beat: "Hmm?"

He subconsciously tapped on his phone to check the news app.

Suddenly, a series of explosive messages popped up on the screen!

This is no longer an era where celebrities can trend on social media just by eating or drinking, nor will we randomly recommend tabloid news to people.

The borders around those news articles were a striking dark yellow!

This signifies a significant event involving King Wu and the realm.

However, since it is only dark yellow rather than golden yellow, it indicates that Shenhua was involved in such events, but the proportion of involvement was not large.

If it's just a pale yellow border, it means the incident happened somewhere else entirely and has almost nothing to do with Shenhua.

"Is it related to what they just mentioned about the destruction of a country and treason?"

"What's that northern country again?..."

Although Licheng is located to the north of Shenhua, Xu Fei doesn't know much about the other countries next door.

After all, he was tens of thousands of kilometers away from the actual border. Only a few major empires were famous in this world. As for the other small countries, there was really no need for the people of a large country to remember them.

Clicking on the official notification at the top, a look of surprise gradually appeared on Xu Fei's face.

"Good heavens, the Yingnan Kingdom has betrayed its people?!"

"Oh, it's just King Yingnan. There's another member of the royal family who also rose to the rank of king by relying on the resources of the Xuan Tie Clan."

"They've even completed racial transformation."

He clicked his tongue in amazement.

As mentioned earlier, the human race's racial stats are actually not high; at least compared to the human race's ranking across all the heavens, the individual human race is rather weak.

This is mainly because the human race rose too quickly, producing many Martial Emperors in just a few thousand years, and its territory expanded countless times, without having time for the race to undergo an overall sublimation.

Generally speaking, members of the Xuan Tie Clan at the same level can defeat three to five humans at the same time. However, once they reach the King level or above, this gap will be narrowed.

If Yingnan King transforms into a member of the Xuan Tie clan, his combat power will increase by a maximum of 20%, but he will also lose some of his human traits, making it more difficult to advance to later realms.

Xu Fei looked at the time of the incident: early yesterday morning, about twenty hours ago.

The fact that it wasn't reported immediately suggests that it was suppressed to some extent and only announced after the situation was under control.

The news report didn't provide a detailed description of the battle of kings, only some photographs of lights flashing in the night sky, with bursts of energy surging for thousands of miles, reaching the heavens and the earth, far more powerful than the special effects in the movies of his previous life.

"Martial Kings can shatter mountains and destroy peaks, and within the Martial King realm alone, there are further distinctions such as Lower King, Upper King, and True King... In yesterday's battle, Long Xia even deployed an Upper King!"

The term "Shang Wang" refers to King Wu's fourth to sixth stages.

"King Yingnan fled into the Xuan Tie Realm. After one of the Xuanwu Kings was destroyed, he went into hiding in the human realm. The other two kings were completely killed."

"Our six top-tier warriors have returned victorious..."

Although he felt that no one was completely unharmed, at least no one had perished.

Xu Fei mentally scoffed, thinking that if he were truly unscathed, even the four kings on the opposing side wouldn't be able to escape.

The next message concerns the current situation in Yingnan Kingdom.

Xu Fei's gaze sharpened. In the previous few hundred years, the belief of the "Alien Cult - Xuan Tie Cult" had been spreading within Ying Nan Kingdom. Now that the main Xuan Tie Kings had been crippled, the remaining rabble had erupted in full force, causing chaos throughout the entire country.

"All those who follow the alien religion... should be killed."

The boy murmured, "Those who betray their race and sell out their kin to gain advancement deserve to die a thousand or ten thousand times, it's not a pity."

As a family member of the victim, he utterly despises those traitors!
