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

Xu Fei wasn't particularly surprised when the term "虬龙" appeared.

Tyrannosaurus Rex can be called a divine dragon, and a serpent can be called a large water snake, just like a crocodile is referred to as a pig dragon. Ancient people just liked to exaggerate and create all sorts of myths.

He wasn't too surprised by the young man's description of "being born with knowledge...and becoming a person through cold and heat".

This was the tribal era when myths, legends, and various priests' boasting were most prevalent.

You said your patriarch has three heads and six arms, and can chew copper and eat iron.

I said that my family's young clan leader grew to 1.8 meters tall within a year of his birth, and was wise, powerful, and all-knowing.

He said his patriarch lived to be 360 ​​years old, shed nine human skins and bones, and repeatedly turned from old age to youth, stubbornly refusing to die...

There's nothing strange about it; it could be a deformity, or it could be a substitution.

But the last name mentioned was Ji Xuanyuan.

What does Ji Xuanyuan mean?

What does Ji Xuanyuan mean?

Where did you get the name Xuanyuan from...? How did you come up with those two characters?

Who exactly is this Ji Xuanyuan?

Or rather, who else could it be?

After a long while, the boy finally spoke in a murmur.

"Which tribal era is this referring to?"

"Seriously, don't mess around."

With a few loosened tribal warriors on the move, you don't even need to take action; you can simply lie safely in your arms from the rear.

Dozens of men and women surrounded you, making you the safest among them.

As you predicted, the two dwarfs were physically weak and hadn't expected the people in the cave to be untied. After the young man and the other two cautiously reached out, they easily snapped their necks.

[Based on your visual assessment of the soldiers' strength, you believe their physical attributes are between ten and twenty points.]

[They have likely found some kind of martial arts technique, embarked on the path of martial arts, and broken through to a higher realm.]

This made your heart skip a beat. To be able to capture martial artists at the first level... Luckily you untied them, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to escape on your own.

As you passed the cave entrance, you glanced down into the dim light. It was from here that the dwarf had retrieved that wondrous substance, which had immobilized you.

All you can see is a patch of dirt on the ground.

It looks no different from ordinary black soil.

[You squeaked and cried out, letting your birth mother lower you down to scoop up a handful of mud. This clump of soil didn't suddenly wriggle like "mud slime"; it was just loose, scattered soil.]

"Controlling... earth?"

"Is this a natural talent or something else?"

"Is it permissible to begin cultivation?"

"Can I?"

Faced with the four questions that the simulator was asking itself, Xu Fei shook his head.

"Impossible."

Among the myriad realms and countless races, there naturally exist countless extraordinary systems.

For example, the martial arts of qi and blood that he is currently practicing.

For example, True Essence Martial Arts, which has only emerged in recent years and has not yet been popularized.

For example, among the top ten in the heavens, the dragon race has a unique extraordinary system called "Ascending Dragon Path," which, when cultivated to the end, purifies oneself into a dragon.

There are also systems of magic, witchcraft, souls, etc.

But almost no human can cultivate!

For some unknown reason, humans are only suitable for cultivating Qi and Blood Martial Arts, as well as the recently discovered True Essence Martial Arts. Other extraordinary systems, even though they are highly universal and their principles are simple and easy to understand, seem perfectly suitable for cultivation by humans due to their physical structure.

However, using that method simply won't allow you to cultivate. At most, you can improve a few basic attributes, but it's impossible to break through to the first realm of those systems and gain the special abilities possessed by those systems!

A martial artist's blood and qi, a magician's control over elemental power, a sorcerer's ability to cast long-range curses... Without cultivating the relevant systems and breaking through realms, it's impossible to master these powers!

Even a Martial King at the Fifth Realm cannot manipulate trace elemental power like a Magic Apprentice at the First Realm.

(Some talents can be combined to produce similar effects, but they are not abilities unique to that system in essence.)

"That ability to control the earth is only a special kind of talent, just like some martial artists can also mobilize elemental power—but that is ultimately just a talent that cannot be popularized."

"Or maybe those dwarfs aren't even human."

Xu Fei felt that simulating flight was just wishful thinking, like seeing a character in an animated film who could recover after being smashed into a pancake and then think that he could do it too.

After the necks of the two dwarfs were broken, the young man stared at the two corpses for a long time, then reached out and touched his lower abdomen. After saying a few words, your eyes were blindfolded by your birth mother.

A chilling chewing sound can be heard.

"Holy crap, could they be two groups of cannibals?"

"If he could understand the name Xuanyuan, he wouldn't think that way."

"Or are they just like me, simply trying to replenish their energy?"

You neither struggled to escape nor tried to stop them.

After all, judging from his attitude, that young man was on your side.

More important than good and evil is one's stance. Given the choice between a "demon king" who has killed countless people but cherishes and dotes on you above all else, or a "saint" who saves the world but directs all his malice solely at you… you would definitely choose the former.

Even if these men and women who are with you also eat people... at worst, you can persuade them to change and raise the next generation to be decent people.

Xu Fei: "..."

He didn't refute it; most people are like that, helping their relatives regardless of right or wrong, and he couldn't avoid it either, as he didn't have such a high level of moral character.

Just like when your own child fights with someone else's child, most parents will definitely side with their own child.

—The very few parents who scold their own children and make them apologize to other children regardless of right or wrong are no exception.

Because those parents feel that "scolding their children" benefits them more than "supporting their children," perhaps by increasing obedience, or by appearing authoritative and generous in front of others...

However, there are degrees to which one should side with relatives and not with what is right. In other words, there is a flexible bottom line. Spoiling your child does not mean raising him to be a spoiled brat.

Just like the idea of ​​simulating flight mentioned above: it can help to correct the inappropriate behavior of relatives in the future.

Let's forget about it for now; our lives are more important.

Besides chewing sounds, you often hear vomiting and retching. You breathe a sigh of relief because these reactions indicate that they are not used to eating people and are truly only doing it for energy.

Moments later, you began to flee.

Objective: Escape alive!

(Seventh update, I've used up a lot of my saved-up chapters. You can probably guess what the simulation will be like later. I will make significant changes to the original plot.ԅ(¯ㅂ¯ԅ))
