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

"...Indeed, it has ascended from the primitive era to the tribal era."

"Is this ascension based on the level of civilization?"

"What era will be next? The beginning of a feudal dynasty?"

"Will the future development lead to a path of incense offerings and divine courts, or to the celestial realm... or to a technological future, encompassing the universe and starry skies?"

Two mere eras are not enough to discern any specific patterns.

Xu Fei suppressed her doubts.

He believes that ascension will not be a one-time event, and that it can be verified in the future.

[Initial Requirements: Age 16, Realm: Martial Master Level 0 (Qi and Blood Martial Arts)]

[Constitution: 53.1 (74), Control: 99.1 (138), Strength: 53.2 (74), Divine Soul: 44.7 (62), Talent: Perfect Body (40% bonus, cap 107), Pure Blood]

[Martial Arts True Meaning: First Layer of Spear Intent; Health and Vitality Boost: 56% Strength, 59% Agility, 47% Power, 33% Vitality]

"Compared to when I first started the emulator, this is a huge improvement."

Xu Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Not only had his combat power increased significantly, but his perfect body was now probably worth as much as some top-tier talents.

[Start simulation? (Current free attempts: 3. Further attempts will require replenishing energy according to the era, each simulation in that era costs 20 energy points)]

"The price has increased 20 times in an instant!?"

"So dark!?"

Xu Fei recalled that he still had 75 Yuan Crystals in his hand, and counting the ones stored in the simulator... he could only simulate the tribal era five times!

Even including the free attempts, it only lasts for a week.

He had used up seven chances to complete the prehistoric era!

This tribal era... logically speaking, it must be more difficult than the prehistoric era, right?

"I praised you for your conscience before, but you changed your tune as soon as you ascended!"

"It will deplete an energy source that would normally last for more than half a month in one go, so please don't let me down!"

"Vitality concentration, innate treasures, and even more achievements and points."

[Note: You can spend 20 energy points to change your spawn point, or spend 40 energy points to save your current spawn point (current energy: 28)]

"This update is quite effective."

"If the starting point in the simulation isn't good, it can be changed."

"If a kingdom or empire were to emerge later, the difference between being born a slave and being born a nobleman would be enormous."

Xu Fei stroked his chin. He had read many novels where the protagonists, if they had a good start, were commoners or ordinary people from small villages; if they had a bad start, they were slaves or even miners in certain death zones.

The feature of saving the spawn point is also good. After all, some situations may not be suitable for development at the beginning, but there may actually be a big treasure hidden there... In such cases, you can wait until the later stages to start from there.

After thinking for a moment and making sure he hadn't missed any crucial information, he went to bed and took a nap.

I woke up an hour later, and the mental fatigue caused by 40 hours of sleeplessness was completely relieved—my perfect body enhanced the mental recovery effect.

Then search online for "Basic Spear Techniques (Qi and Blood Version)" and memorize every step.

At this moment, his memory has surpassed several times that of his previous excellent memory. With his advanced talent and perfect body, his enhanced memory is naturally equivalent to an advanced memory-type talent.

Once everything is ready, the distant horizon will still be gloomy, but soon the first arc of light will appear.

It's 4:30 a.m.

Xu Fei clicked to start the simulation.

Let's test the waters first.

One free chance has been used.

As the simulator's note appeared, the surrounding environment slowly changed.

It appeared quite...dark and silent.

[At age 0, you were born. The moment you emerged from your mother's womb, you fell headfirst, your head slamming into the ground, onto some kind of rock.]

Xu Fei: "???"

"How did I end up on Tie Man's channel?"

Fortunately, the Perfect Body talent can be awakened at the start of the game. As a high-level talent, Perfect Body provides at least a 10-point boost to its user.

[Your physique alone is comparable to a second or third-level martial arts performer, yet you only weigh a few pounds; it's just that your mind is a bit muddled.]

You survey your surroundings; it's pitch black, like being in a cave. Fortunately, your perfect physique enhances your sensitivity to even the faintest light, giving you remarkably strong night vision. You can clearly see that the surrounding environment consists of dark, porous stone walls.

When you got up and looked back at your birth mother, you found her bound, surrounded by a large group of people, both men and women, all naked and bound by ropes.

These people, like lambs to the slaughter, or livestock about to be put on the table, showed almost no reaction to your birth.

You couldn't understand a word they were saying; they were chattering away, some of their expressions suggesting complaints, others crying.

【you:"……"】

Xu Fei: "..."

The two fell silent simultaneously.

What is this feeling of being about to be sacrificed as cannibal bread or a ritual offering?

Of all places he could have been born in... he was born into this kind of situation, which is even more tragic than the children of slaves that I just imagined!

"Hopefully they're just hostages... just hostages who were brought here to be exchanged."

You looked around and finally spotted a cave entrance emitting a faint light, and carefully crawled towards it.

As soon as they reached the cave entrance, they found two short figures guarding it.

Two figures were staring straight ahead. If they were 1.8 meters tall, it wouldn't be so bad, but they were both only a little over a meter tall, and their line of sight was much lower than that of an average person, so they easily spotted you approaching.

"Is this the baby that the pregnant woman just gave birth to?"

"They even have baby food!"

Two dwarfs, speaking a language you don't understand, lunge at you with eerie laughter.

[Because you're newly born, even though your control attributes are above average, walking and running still require a training process to improve. So you can only crawl around on the ground, trying to avoid being chased by these two little dwarves.]

Without the control attributes gained from a perfect body, you'd lack muscle memory and control over your body, making it difficult to even crawl quickly; you'd just end up rolling around in place.

Now, however, they can use their agile climbing skills to outmaneuver and pull the two dwarfs as they chase them.

They can't catch you!

Even after a while, you might get used to more complex operations.

"Baby trips over its own feet!"

You stretched out your leg and tripped the oncoming dwarf.

"Baby slaughter!"

You exerted force with all four limbs, slammed into the ground, and leaped up. The recoil propelled you like a frog, causing you to land on top of the dwarf.

After tackling him, you also took a closer look at the guy.

[They're described as dwarves, but they're not the kind of creatures in Western fantasy novels who require knee pads for protection or a portable wooden ladder to reach the second shelf of a book.]

They are more like small, humanoid creatures with dwarfism, with relatively ugly faces, even uglier than prehistoric savages, but they don't look like monkeys.

[This likely refers to a special race of people who have lived in this type of cave environment for many years, resulting in some deformities.]

(Just a heads-up: a long story with incredibly rich rewards and a super-level upgrade is about to unfold in this era, so please don't take the preceding content as a way of suppressing your fighting power (˵˚ ω ˚˵))

(In simulations, there needs to be a balance of relaxation and tension. Every seemingly unprofitable scenario actually represents a two- to three- to five-fold improvement later on—of course, in real-world scenarios, it's impossible to truly suffer a loss.)

(Important: Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for everyone's positive feedback yesterday. Therefore, in addition to the usual four updates today, I will add three more, for a total of seven updates ԅ(¯ㅂ¯ԅ))
