Reincarnator

Su's Father's old-fashioned nagging caused Su Ti's annoyance.

"Alright, I know."

Su Ti waved his hand, his expression impatient.

His family thought the matter was over and felt relieved, but only Su Ti himself knew that the matter was far from over.

Therefore, he had no patience to discuss trivial matters like backbone or not letting poverty extinguish ambition with Su's Father.

Before this matter was resolved, he could be taken away by the organizers of the death match at any time and forced to participate. To survive, or even to get revenge, he first had to have the means to protect himself!

Su's Father opened his mouth, somewhat speechless.

However, thinking about what his son had gone through, he still expressed understanding.

"Then you go to sleep first. Oh, right, your sister is back from school. Say hello to her before you sleep."

"Okay."

The Su family had three rooms, one for the parents, one for Su Ti, and one for his younger sister, Su Ling.

It was also the largest one.

To add, Su Ti's room was the smallest.

Unlike Su Ti, who was almost driven and strictly required by Su's Father, his sister Su Ling was the treasure of the whole family and was spoiled rotten.

Unlike Su Ti, who had an ordinary appearance, ordinary physique, and ordinary studies, Su Ling, who was only one year younger than him, was currently in her third year of high school, studying at City First High School. She was an invincible, youthful, and beautiful girl who was good at sports, good at studying, smart, and cute.

Knock knock.

Su Ti knocked on the door, and the door opened the next second, as if the other person had been waiting by the door, eavesdropping.

Opening the door was a pretty face without makeup, yet exuding a vibrant youthful aura.

That face was so beautiful that it made one wonder if Su Ti and she were born of the same mother.

In contrast to her face, her expression was blank.

"What do you want?"

"I'm back."

"Oh."

Saying that, the door closed with a bang.

Su Ti didn't have a single ripple of emotion.

Although he had no siblings in his previous life and didn't know how siblings should get along, from the memories of this life's Su Ti, he felt deeply.

There was no mutual care, no loving each other, only mutual dislike, and constant arguments and fights from childhood.

In his memory, his relationship with Su Ling was considered very bad; they couldn't stand each other and rarely spoke to each other normally.

However, Su Ti didn't care about this at all and turned to walk towards his room.

What he didn't know was that separated by a door, Su Ling was leaning against the door at this moment, her body in pink rabbit pajamas tightly hugging a radish pillow, her face showing shock and joy.

The future... really changed.

She went to her desk full of girlish charm, opened the drawer, and a broken phone card and a brand new PHS phone came into view.

The anonymous police call today was actually made by her to the police.

It was three in the morning. In that dark future, her brother Su Ti would die in the underground black boxing ring yesterday, and his body would be discovered by detectives a few days later.

After hearing the news, her mother fell seriously ill, and even her father developed a habit of alcoholism, and the family never recovered.

This was not the most desperate future. The most desperate was the apocalypse a year later.

Spiritual energy revived, the country fell, demons ran rampant, she awakened her abilities, struggled for several months in the apocalypse, but still lost to an irresistible powerful enemy.

Parents, companions, master, one by one were brutally killed to protect her, and finally, she also died at the hands of the powerful enemy.

Thinking of this, Su Ling couldn't help but clench her fists.

Since I've returned to a year and a half ago, I will absolutely not let the tragedy happen again!

Su Ling's eyes showed determination. In her previous life, her parents, master, and companions fought to protect her.

This time, it was her turn to save them!

In the room, Su Ti was rapidly typing on the keyboard, browsing various knowledge of this world.

It was the year 223 of the Hesia calendar, a hundred years had passed since the first nuclear bomb was detonated.

The Cold War between Hesia and White Country, two nuclear powers, had ended fifty years ago, and the international situation was stable. Except for some small countries still experiencing war, the two major powers, Hesia and White Country, were in a state of stable development.

Hesia's humanities and geography were very similar to Su Ti's homeland in his previous life, but it had seventy-two provinces, a total land area of 23.42 million square kilometers, and a population of up to 2.5 billion. The four most prosperous provinces were East Sea, South Border, North Yang, and West Moon, and the capital of the country was Zhongjing City.

Besides these, the dark side of this world seemed to be larger than the previous world. For some unknown reason, underground black boxing, gangs, assassins, and other underworld organizations were also more numerous than in the previous life, although they were unknown to ordinary people, but glimpses could be seen on the internet.

After roughly looking at the national information and understanding his surroundings, Su Ti shifted his attention to martial arts, which he was most interested in.

The Crimson Martial Arts Modifier was a cheat he created to dominate the server. He knew the power of this cheat too well.

As long as there were enough martial arts accumulated, fused, and qualitatively changed, the improvement in combat power could be exponential.

From the initial mortal martial arts with only a few points of combat power, as they accumulated, they could even reach tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions! As long as enough max-level martial arts were fused, it wasn't a dream for one person to take on a guild, or even a server.

Anyway, Su Ti at that time had fused almost all the martial arts skills in the game that could be fused after leveling them up to the maximum. He only got banned after destroying the strongest guilds and forces on the server.

Although he didn't know if martial arts in reality could be improved to the level in the game, he had only improved a comprehensive martial art from the previous world to the level of Great Accomplishment and defeated a professional underground boxer.

Therefore, if Su Ti wanted to become stronger physically, he needed more martial arts.

And the internet was an excellent way to collect martial arts.

In an era of extremely developed information, no divine skill or secret manual was a secret anymore. Just like in Su Ti's previous life, a large number of martial arts techniques were uploaded to the internet for free to prevent the inheritance from being cut off, but no one was willing to learn them.

But after a search, Su Ti was suddenly stunned.

"None?"

It wasn't that there were none. There were some martial arts similar to broadcast gymnastics, but martial arts with offensive and body-tempering properties like Golden Bell Cover, Iron Cloth, Eagle Claw Technique, and Twelve Road Tan Leg were completely absent.

Su Ti didn't believe it and continued searching, then found a large number of comprehensive fighting techniques.

Iza Jujutsu, Gero War Dance, Xizhai Piercing Fist, and similar arena fighting techniques.

This world also had fighting events like boxing, kickboxing, and MMA, and these arena fighting techniques were born from them, possessing a certain degree of lethality, but these were useless to Su Ti!

He already had Great Accomplishment level comprehensive fighting techniques, which meant he had Great Accomplishment level grappling, striking, and jujutsu techniques, already at the peak of arena fighting techniques.

Other arena fighting techniques highly overlapped with the comprehensive fighting techniques he already possessed, so learning them would be useless.

Moreover, Su Ti didn't want to learn arena fighting techniques.

Arena fighting techniques are techniques under rule restrictions, techniques to win without eye gouging, hitting the back of the head or groin, and while ensuring the opponent's life safety.

These techniques are powerful in rule-based arena matches, but in real no-rules life-and-death combat, they are actually of little use, or rather, basically useless.

Take Su Ti's comprehensive fighting techniques, for example. This fighting technique has no one-hit kill moves, no moves against armed enemies, and even fewer moves to deal with complex environments or multiple enemies.

It can only be used in the arena. In real life-and-death combat, it's not even as good as military dagger fighting techniques, far from it.

The reason Su Ti was able to win against Black Bear with this fighting technique was largely due to Black Bear's underestimation and contempt for him, allowing Su Ti to succeed with a sneak attack and gain the upper hand. Otherwise, a professional underground boxer like Black Bear, his fighting techniques might not be much weaker than Su Ti's, and might even be stronger.

After all, Black Bear practiced killing fists, while Su Ti's were arena techniques. Even if killing techniques are practiced rustily, they are aimed at killing. Even if arena techniques are practiced to a high level, they are aimed at subduing, knocking down, and scoring points. There is a fundamental difference between the two.

If he were to fight Black Bear again with a calm mind, Su Ti was sure that the probability of his death was over 80%! Even if he could win, it would be a tragic victory, suffering severe injuries that could lead to disability.

Therefore, facing the dark forces like the Death Fighting Match organizers, what Su Ti wanted to learn now were truly lethal techniques, as well as martial arts that could strengthen the body and cultivate both internal and external aspects!

But Su Ti couldn't find them online.

The martial arts in this life seemed to be strictly controlled by the Hesia Country, like sharp weapons or firearms.

If he couldn't find them openly, Su Ti had other ways.

The technological level of this world was no different from the previous one, and the computer program algorithms were basically the same. His programmer skills were quickly put to use.

After writing and downloading a few software programs, he quickly entered the dark web.

The dark web is the inner layer of the network, distinct from the surface web, and is an encrypted network that cannot be found by standard search engines.

Because of its secrecy and privacy, it has become a breeding ground for many dark aspects.

Illegal transactions, crime live streams, firearms, smuggling, hacker services, and a large number of things unimaginable in the surface world are all completed on the dark web.

Su Ti carefully searched for traces of martial arts on the dark web.

He quickly found something on a dark web forum called "Nameless".

Most of the posts on this forum called Nameless had level requirements and were not visible to newcomers like Su Ti.

Only a pinned "Ancient Martial Arts Trading Post" was visible to Su Ti.

Su Ti opened this post and found that there were a total of three martial arts available for trading. According to their description, these martial arts were all called "Ancient Martial Arts".

The three ancient martial arts were:

Body Tempering Art, Black Tiger Fist, and Fang Wolf Saber.

These martial arts, which by their names were clearly third-rate or even fourth-rate, were being sold at astonishingly high prices.

The cheapest Body Tempering Art cost 500,000 Hesia Yuan.

Black Tiger Fist and Fang Wolf Saber were even higher, both in the millions.

The purchasing power of Hesia Yuan in this world was similar to that of RMB in the previous world. Touching the bank card with 50,000 yuan that his uncle gave him today, Su Ti instantly felt like a pauper.

He was shocked.

"I know that since ancient times, it's been poor scholars and rich martial artists, but the threshold for martial arts in this world is too high!"

Starting at 500,000, in some cities with cheap housing prices, you could buy a house!

Unwilling to give up, Su Ti searched the dark web again and found that not only on the Nameless forum, but on all other martial arts websites, the price was...

...the same?!

And the martial arts being spread were always those few, like Body Tempering Art, Black Tiger Fist, and Fang Wolf Saber.

The martial arts on the dark web were all so expensive, and the spread was so conservative. Su Ti finally understood the significance of martial arts in this world.

"It's probably not realistic to learn martial arts online. Even if you have money, you can only learn a few common ones, and those truly powerful martial arts are probably held by certain forces similar to sects and are prohibited from being spread."

Ancient Martial Arts are so heavily guarded, Su Ti could only guess this, and it made him even more curious about how powerful the martial arts in this world truly were.

It was actually worth being controlled and prevented to this extent.

With such anticipation, Su Ti closed his computer and fell into a deep sleep.
