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

"This is quite good; the results after more than ten years of operation are still quite evident."

When the power of Qi and blood is applied to the whole body, the physical combat strength in all aspects increases from 10% to about 25%!

A newly promoted martial artist with his attributes couldn't possibly have such high-quality Qi and blood.

The reason is simple: such high quality of Qi and blood means that the Qi and blood cultivation method has been used many times... With so many Qi and blood cultivation methods, one's martial arts cultivation level should at least have been raised to the first or second level of Martial Master!

[At 32 years old, you donned the strongest gear crafted by your tribe and arrived together at the edge of the Great Rift Valley.]

[You noticed Tie Man's legs were shaking... and then you remembered, this kid seems to be afraid of heights.]

"Won't he slip and fall while climbing down?"

【"etc!"】

You suddenly realize something: you're terrified of heights!

[So in that previous simulation, he climbed down into the abyss alone, hunted the dragon, and then managed to climb back up... just how much fear must he have endured!?]

"What a good kid," you couldn't help but pat his shoulder. "Thank goodness you weren't raised by that shitty tribe."

Tie Man felt completely bewildered.

Two hours later, you both landed. You looked up at a sliver of light on the horizon, estimating that you were about 1,300 to 1,400 meters above the ground.

[If you throw a stone down, it takes about twenty seconds to hear the echo.]

The high concentration of oxygen grants you greater explosive power, and the tenfold concentration of vital energy makes you feel your blood and energy recovery speed increase several times over!

"This is paradise!"

As you explore the bottom of the rift valley, if you're thirsty, drink some boiled water; if you're hungry, hunt giant silkworms rich in protein.

Those tiny silkworms, about the size of piglets, are a local specialty. They seem to be at the bottom of the food chain, only feeding on grass and leaves.

This place seems to be a remnant of the ancient times, interwoven with layers of history from different eras, and home to many plants and animals that are unheard of or unseen on the ground.

[You have discovered a fruit that contains a small amount of vital energy. One piece is enough to rapidly restore about 50% of your vital energy and allow you to perform over fifty cycles of the Wind Force!]

However, collecting a large number of these fruits to help Tie Man break through to the Martial Master level is useless... because just one fruit is bigger than a basketball, and it's solid inside, with the vital energy evenly distributed throughout the several kilograms of flesh!

[Iron Man can't eat this!]

[It would take at least tens of thousands of such fruits piled together to equal the minimum energy requirement for breaking through to the Martial Master realm. However, if Tie Man digests just three or four of them, the barrier he broke through will heal again, and the energy required will have to be calculated from the beginning.]

[You two proceeded cautiously, and on a hilltop, you saw savages driving one of their companions, ordering him to carry a makeshift stone blade to a flat area.]

Then, the savages waved their longbows and stone spears in the distance and shouted, demanding that the sacrifice bravely offer his dying struggle for the dragon.

[After waiting quietly for almost half an hour, a roar that echoed through the mountains startled you, and strange-feathered birds took flight from the nearby treetops.]

A terrifying behemoth, nearly twenty meters long, whose every step seemed to cause the ground to tremble slightly, strolled out from around the bend in the valley!

What a terrifying and awe-inspiring divine beast! This behemoth far surpasses crocodiles, tigers, and the Sword Tiger King!

You raised an eyebrow; this dragon was even larger than the one you remembered, yet it felt weaker to you.

It's not because your strength has increased, but because of the aura of aging and decline emanating from it.

This Tyrannosaurus Rex was very old; its skin was covered in layers of wrinkles, and every movement was slow and deliberate. Even when it took a long stride forward, it was extremely slow, with each step followed by a pause.

"Looks like there's more than one dragon here. Where's the younger one?"

[Ding! Please make a choice!]

Option 1: While it's still young and near death, charge down now and take down this old dragon.

[Option 2: It doesn't seem that old yet. Let's wait another year or two until it's completely too old to move, then stand in front of it and perform the Pure Land Dance.]

"...Is this really worth triggering the option?"

"And isn't the second option too boring? I choose option one."

Xu Fei didn't mean anything by it; she just didn't want to drag it out any longer.

[You and Tie Man, clad in iron armor, raced downhill like two humanoid mechs. Within seconds, the sound of your footsteps gave you away, and the group of sacrificial savages below immediately aimed their longbows at you.]

As the distance closed, arrows rained down on you, but were instantly blasted away by your thick, thousand-times-forged iron armor!

"The time before last, I took the easy way out and didn't wear armor when I climbed down... which led to you forcing me to fight a dragon with arrows."

"Karma has come!"

[You are a martial arts master, and your physique is likely over 100. Compared to these savages who know nothing of martial arts, you are no different from two humanoid giant rhinoceroses!]

[Simply by entering a crowd and rampaging through it a few times, a large area can be cleared. Those who are knocked away not only suffer broken bones, but also manage to smash into those behind them, causing broken bones as well!]

[An absolute sweep!]

To ensure the smooth running of the dragon's feast and to prevent the dragon from targeting them, there were quite a few savages, numbering sixty or seventy.

But that was two minutes ago.

[Now there are only three left, and three of them can barely be considered intact. Two are lying on the ground, and the last one, with colorful flowers on his head, is the high priest. He was the one you deliberately kept alive.]

[This high priest is the one you took with you before your death in the simulation two years ago, so even though you deliberately left him as a hostage, you weren't going to let him off easy. A casual sweep of your spear shattered the bones in his limbs, causing him to scream in agony.]

Looking at the distorted face of the high priest, who was at least forty years old—a remarkably long-lived age for a savage—you smiled coldly: "Once you died too easily; this time it won't be so."

"And this won't be the only time!"

"You've got a long, good life ahead of you!"

"Even if other eras are ushered in, I will still return to this time and space from time to time to see you."

[As you were talking, your ears twitched; you heard a scream and the sound of chewing coming from the side.]

[It was the sacrificial savage who was initially offered as food to the Tyrannosaurus Rex. He was killed by the old Tyrannosaurus Rex while you were dealing with these smaller foes.]

"I forgot I even had you..."

Before you could finish speaking, Tie Man suddenly charged forward, his speed so great that he even stomped a large crater in the ground!

"Bullying an old dragon?"
