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

Without the intent to shoot, you can only rely on your exceptional skills to slowly whittle down the Crocodile Ancestor, dodging all its attacks, because it has high attack, high defense, and high health; its only weakness is agility.

[You, on the other hand, have low attack, low defense, low health, and high agility. Taking a hit won't kill you, but you'll definitely suffer moderate damage.]

[But now, with the power of the spear, your attack strength has increased dramatically. Combined with agile movement, killing it is a piece of cake!]

"This crocodile ancestor's physique is probably around 90 points, close to the third level of a martial arts master," you guess.

However, the giant beast was too clumsy. After finally defeating it, you searched the island in the middle of the lake again, dissecting the old crocodile inside and out, but still couldn't find the treasure.

You leaped several meters into the air, taking in the landscape of lakes and rivers stretching for dozens of miles.

"There don't seem to be any other islands nearby... Let's go back then."

You look back at the wooden boat you came in.

[Just then, I saw it slowly sinking, its wreckage half submerged in the water.]

"Damn it!"

"I shouldn't have acted that way, no one around was watching!"

Xu Fei finished a skewer of barbecue, converting his energy to restore his vitality, and said casually, "I'm just watching, aren't I?"

[Fortunately, you are now extraordinary. After retrieving the wooden boat and bringing it back to the island in the middle of the lake, you imbued the tip of your spear with your spear intent, and in the blink of an eye, you cut out some neat pieces of wood, assembling them together with mortise and tenon joints. The whole process took less than half a minute!]

The last stop was the grasslands, the vast grasslands to the north.

Although you haven't yet recovered to the Martial Master level, you already have enough confidence to defeat the Sword Tiger King.

That giant, sentient insect had thick, tough skin and incredibly strong bones; its constitution was at least 98 points, possibly even close to 100!

However, as I said before, with your gun intent, each of your shots will deal several times more damage to it. While you can't guarantee a 100% success rate in killing it, you'll still have a 98% chance!

"What's the difference between that and sending someone to their death?"

However, when you arrive at the scene, you find that things are not as you expected.

Deep in the grasslands, dozens of miles away, you see the Sword Tiger King being surrounded and killed.

[The attackers are none other than your own men, the world's first cavalry, clad in armor and riding mighty horses!]

[Holding an iron spear and carrying a war bow!]

Nearly a hundred cavalrymen marched across the vast grasslands like a mighty torrent, their presence so powerful that even elephants had to give way!

The reason was that the tribesmen who had migrated here a few months ago were attacked by the Sword Tiger King, and they had no choice but to send people back to their homeland in the Central Plains to ask for a reprieve. So the cavalry was mobilized.

[You witnessed this scene just two minutes after this cavalry battalion encountered the Sword Tiger King.]

They first unleashed several volleys of mounted archery, firing countless iron arrowheads, sharpened to an extreme point, with a force of twenty stones—enough to pierce hide and cause the Sword Tiger King to bleed.

Once the Sword Tiger King gets close, he will draw his spear and engage in direct combat!

Although they are still dozens of miles apart, do you know what kind of people those cavalrymen are? They are all individuals with outstanding martial arts aptitude, carefully selected from your numerous simulations. The vast majority of them possessed a special talent even when they were still mortals!

Years of rigorous training in martial arts have enabled each of them to reach the realm of martial warriors, making them stronger than ordinary tigers and leopards.

The biggest drawback, however, lies in the mount.

Those horses, capable of galloping freely across the vast plains, were all robust and vigorous creatures, but when faced with a gigantic saber-toothed tiger king, the vast majority of them could not overcome the fear stemming from their primal instincts.

[Often, upon hearing a beast's roar, they would immediately flee in terror, their limbs trembling as they threw off their riders. At the very least, they would panic and retreat far away, disrupting the rhythm of the attack.]

But the cavalrymen were also fierce men; some wounded their horses, while others dismounted and thrust their spears straight at the Sword Tiger King.

But that saber-toothed tiger was simply too powerful. A single swipe of its paw sent a person flying dozens of meters, even those clad in iron armor suffering broken bones and ruptured tendons, spitting out blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

Five or ten of them died in this battle, while the Sword Tiger King's injuries were merely minor; most attacks couldn't even penetrate an inch into its muscles.

If it fights to the death, it might indeed be slaughtered by a hundred men... but it can run, and it absolutely can escape!

When you arrived, more than twenty people were already lying on the ground. "Lying down" here means completely incapacitated, at the very least suffering fractures, some even disemboweled, or dead on the spot!

The remaining seventy men continued their fearless battle against the Sword Tiger King. Your arrival was like a powerful stimulant for them, and several of them even raised their hands in cheers...

[...This idiotic behavior immediately relieved the pressure on the Sword Tiger King, allowing it to free up its tail and sweep the two men down again.]

"You dare kill my man!?"

You are furious. Your brothers and sisters, whom you have painstakingly raised and trained, your elite soldiers whom you have carefully guided, the ones you promised to ensure their prosperity for generations to come...

【"die!"】

[With a backward sliding tackle, you sweep aside the grass at your feet, and your spear moves like a dragon!]

"The Dragon Crosses the River!"

[This strike shot upwards at a diagonal angle from below, piercing the Sword Tiger King's throat in an instant!]

Even on its back, a small section protrudes; if its fur weren't so tough, it would be pierced, revealing that dark spearhead!

You slid under it while still in a sliding tackle position, rolled to your feet, and then took the bronze spear from the savage warrior beside you.

"Haven't you replaced it with metal yet?" you casually remark to him.

At this moment, the heavily wounded Sword Tiger King raised its head, the shaft of the iron spear embedded in its throat also lifting. It wanted to roar, but the iron spear in its throat only allowed it to utter a breathy sound.

[However, being the king of the grasslands for many years, even with such severe injuries, it still relied on its extremely strong vitality to forcefully continue fighting. It just didn't notice you, leaping high behind it, as it dared not shake its head too much.]

This "Falling Star of the Big Dipper" technique ruthlessly shattered its skull, successfully extinguishing any remaining life force within its body!

[Achievement Obtained: Sword Tiger King]

[The Sword Tiger King fell, his massive body lurching forward. The iron spear shaft at his throat touched the ground, then, under the weight of his body, pierced through his neck.]

You stepped onto Yao's back, casually grasped the blood-stained spearhead, and pulled your fine iron spear through the tiger's body, flicking off the blood.

Finally, facing the many soldiers below, he shouted loudly to them, letting them celebrate their victory to the fullest.
