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

The grass is very dry this season.

At first, you hear gasps of alarm from the group, followed by screams and chaos.

Being savages themselves, they had no idea how to start a fire and assumed they had unfortunately encountered a wild beast that burned fiercely but could not be killed, so they began to flee.

Fire follows the wind, but people cannot outrun the wind.

You see numerous flames, each over a meter tall, moving eerily across the ground, then collapsing and never moving again.

[Achievement Obtained: Carnage]

Xu Fei looked at the achievement description on the simulator and realized that the kills were not cumulative achievements, but one-time achievements.

This achievement can be unlocked by participating in a single kill of 100 people.

He simultaneously sensed the emotions transmitted from his own persona in the simulator, as well as the faint ache in his knees, and smiled softly.

"One hundred people, the number of four or five martial arts classes... easy kills!"

Although there might be elderly people and children in that savage tribe, well, there shouldn't be any elderly people over 40 years old in this era, so the elderly can be largely ruled out.

Although there may be children and women in that savage group, there is a high probability that there are pregnant women in a group of more than two hundred people.

But what does it have to do with him?

They started it.

When one is successful, one should help all under heaven; when one is unsuccessful, one should cultivate one's own virtue.

If someone is robbed when they are poor, then exterminate their relatives, kill their teachers and friends, and destroy their descendants!

In this brutal era where the strong prey on the weak, and where there is no morality or law, the weak cannot act out of kindness indiscriminately.

Moreover... this is just a simulation that can be repeated to explore different timelines and developments.

"Flames don't engage in peaceful dialogue before taking action, unlike me."

You walked away with a cold laugh.

The fire burned all night, turning half the sky red. Just as the flames began to die down, the sun rose, its warm rays bathing the earth.

A morning breeze swept by, and ashes rolled up in the distance, forming a deathly barrier.

[At 17, having surpassed the initial age of 16, you missed an extra boost, and you definitely felt your martial arts progress slowing down, mainly due to your injured knee.]

[Even with only one leg crippled, you still wiped out that entire tribe. The raging fire that seemed to reach the sky made the savages of your tribe regard you as a god.]

Your birth mother died this year, having lived more than a decade longer than before, thanks to the food, cooked food, and clean water you provided for the community.

At 18, as your injuries healed, your progress accelerated once again.

Although it becomes increasingly difficult to improve further, the progress bar is steadily advancing, and you anticipate reaching the limit of martial arts performance next year.

At 19, you reached your limit.

Xu Fei opened the character panel.

[Age 19, Constitution: 20, Control: 22, Strength: 20, Spirit: 24]

"Hiss—that's pretty good progress this time."

A physique and strength score of 20 represent the peak of martial arts (tenth level), just one step away from breaking through the barrier and becoming a formal martial artist, a first-level martial soldier!

There is still more than a month until the advanced martial arts assessment, and the general level of martial arts universities is "Martial Arts Student Tenth Stage".

If he adds the physical and mental growth he gained from this simulation, he will be able to reach that standard. If he breaks through to become a martial artist before the assessment, he will have a better chance of getting into a prestigious martial arts university!

However, Shenhua is so vast, stretching for tens of millions of kilometers, and Wuhan University also has different levels.

They can be roughly divided into six levels: ordinary martial arts universities, famous martial arts universities, key martial arts universities, top martial arts universities, the top 100 martial arts universities, and the four major martial arts universities of Shenhua.

One must at least break through to the second realm of martial arts master to reach the basic martial arts realm of the "Top 100". And that is only the minimum requirement. One must also maximize the scores in academic subjects, martial arts, and even qi and blood cultivation methods.

"Break through quickly, break through quickly!"

"Once you become a martial artist, all sorts of good days will come!"

Xu Fei didn't expect the three free mock exams to allow him to directly reach the standards of the four top universities in Shenhua University, but at least... getting into a key university shouldn't be too difficult, right?

[At 20, you've been stuck at a certain level for a year, and you've concluded that your life during this time has been too peaceful and comfortable.]

With sharp weapons, superior skills, and a robust physique, there are very few creatures on the vast grasslands that can pose a threat to you.

Although the bottleneck between realms can be worn down over a long period of time, you really don't want to spend two or three years on this small barrier.

The monotonous hunting life and slow progress made you unwilling to continue like this, so you decided to challenge the world.

At 21, you led your tribe through the bamboo forest where you once lived. The iron-eating beasts there had returned to their endearing, bamboo-devouring forms, but this time, no one dared to harm them.

[After crossing the bamboo forest, you continue your slow migration towards the due south.]

In the same year, you arrived in the Central Plains, a land teeming with wild beasts and savages, a place where all directions converge and the eight wastelands intersect.

The vastness of the world fills your heart with pride, and your loud shout carries for miles.

On this vast land, who will determine the fate of the world?

"Today, I came, I saw, I conquered!"

On a plain, you wield a bamboo spear and slay a ferocious tiger.

[With three intersecting claw marks on his body, dripping with blood, he finally broke free of his shackles and advanced to the Martial Soldier realm during this fierce battle!]

[A warm current surges within your body, flowing at your control; this is the source of your extraordinary power—blood essence!]

At the same time, you also feel an invisible barrier being torn open, transforming into strange energy that disperses into your body, ultimately forming your talent!

"talent!"

Xu Fei exclaimed softly.

Talent is a special bonus that every life form of all races in the universe can possess.

For example, ten times the strength, internal circulation and breathing, or the innate ability to control space...

Some powerful races are born with exceptionally strong talents, while most races need to raise their extraordinary level and break through the barriers of life to awaken different talents.

Xu Fei suppressed his excitement and brought up his character panel.

[Age 21, Constitution: 20 (24), Control: 23, Strength: 20, Spirit: 24, Talent: Robust.]

"So this is the talent." He was a little disappointed.

He possessed a talent, but it was a rather ordinary, low-level talent... though it just so happened to match his martial arts aptitude.

The effect is to enhance overall physical fitness, that is, to increase "physical condition" by 20%.

The increase ranges from 1 to 10 points, with a minimum increase of 1 point and a maximum increase of 10 points in constitution.
