Past Life Simulator

"Jiang Yuan! What are you spacing out about!"

A deep, resonant voice rang out, and Jiang Yuan looked around with a dazed expression.

He was surrounded by burly men in grey martial arts uniforms, and now, the burliest of them all was glaring at him fiercely.

The ground beneath them was sand, and further ahead, racks were laden with countless weapons of all kinds.

This place looked like a training ground from a historical drama.

Jiang Yuan's mouth fell slightly open. Was this... a film set?

What were his lines next?

"Jiang Yuan! I'm telling you! Don't think you can ignore me just because you're Lord Wen's nephew! Since you've joined the martial arts school and are under my command, you will obey me!"

The burliest of the men seemed to be the leader. He wore a dark, mysterious uniform, and even with the clothes covering him, his muscles were evident. Jiang Yuan even felt his pectoral muscles could crush him.

Suddenly, a sharp, needle-like pain shot through him. Fragments of memory surged into Jiang Yuan's mind like a tide, and scenes and jumbled information appeared in his head as if he were watching a movie.

Jiang Yuan's face turned incredibly pale, and large beads of sweat dripped down. His expression was contorted in pain, as if he were enduring some torment.

"Huh?"

Jiang Yuan only felt a gust of wind and a black figure instantly appeared before him.

The man in black grabbed Jiang Yuan's wrist. He frowned slightly, examined Jiang Yuan with confusion, and then gave an order to the surrounding men.

Two men in grey then helped Jiang Yuan away from the training ground.

The crowd was left in a buzz of discussion.

"What are you all chattering about! Double today's training!" the man in black snarled.

Everyone present groaned but dared not utter a word of complaint.

My name is Jiang Yuan. My current identity is the nephew of Wen Zhao, the head escort of Zhenyuan Escort Agency. Of course, I could also be considered the young master of Zhenyuan Escort Agency, as my uncle, having no children of his own, treats me like a son.

I guess you could say I'm a second-generation heir.

Zhenyuan Escort Agency is the top escort agency in Haiyuan City, with its reputation spreading to over a dozen surrounding cities.

Both the underworld and the authorities showed respect to those escorted by Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

As Zhenyuan Escort Agency grew, it adopted two methods for recruiting new talent: first, hiring skilled martial artists, and second, training young boys to become direct disciples of the agency.

While the second method consumed more resources and time than the first, it produced true direct disciples of the agency, who had great potential and were loyal.

Among escort agencies within a thousand-mile radius, only Zhenyuan Escort Agency had the foundation to train direct disciples.

And Jiang Yuan was precisely such a direct disciple with a special status.

Jiang Yuan took the nourishing soup delivered by a maid and took a gentle sip.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in the mirror, his thoughts gradually became clear.

He had truly transmigrated. But unlike other transmigrators who faced dire starts, his beginning was as a second-generation heir?

"Yuan'er! Yuan'er, are you alright!"

At that moment, a thin, refined middle-aged man with a mustache rushed into the room.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan was awake, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle!" Jiang Yuan immediately put down the nourishing soup upon seeing the middle-aged man and said instinctively.

The person before him was one of the agency's high-ranking officials, the head escort Wen Zhao, and the original body's uncle.

Suddenly, his vision blurred, and his wrist was in the middle-aged man's hand.

Clearly, this uncle, despite his refined appearance, was skilled in martial arts, otherwise, how could he have single-handedly built the renowned Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

"Mental damage? Overexertion?" Wen Zhao frowned, closed his eyes, and felt Jiang Yuan's wrist. After a moment, he relaxed, opened his eyes, and said strangely.

"Replying to Uncle! I've been studying my mother's Gale Embrace Art these past few days, and my mind has become somewhat fatigued without me realizing it."

Drawing on the original body's memories, Jiang Yuan offered an excuse.

"This is utter nonsense!" Wen Zhao scolded Jiang Yuan angrily. "The Gale Embrace Art is an Internal Force Realm technique! You haven't even reached perfection in Blood Qi, and you dare to cultivate the Gale Embrace Art!"

"Fortunately, your meridians and bone structure are undamaged, otherwise, how could I face my sister! Remember, martial arts training requires avoiding overreaching!"

Wen Zhao's reaction was within Jiang Yuan's expectations.

In this world, there were martial arts and extraordinary powers.

The strength of martial artists in this world was incomparable to the fighters of his previous life. Powerful martial artists could shatter mountains and rocks with ease. In Jiang Yuan's view, this was at least a mid-level martial world.

Martial artists nourish their Blood Qi, constantly circulating it to strengthen it until it becomes perfectly integrated.

This is the first realm of a martial artist: the Blood Qi Realm.

In this realm, a martial artist's strength and stamina are greatly enhanced, setting them apart from ordinary people.

The original Jiang Yuan was a martial artist in the Blood Qi Realm.

After Blood Qi, one must cultivate force. Using one's own vast and integrated Blood Qi, one must break through the heavenly gate of Internal Force to generate force. This stage involves various mystical abilities unattainable by mortals, making it extraordinary.

This is the second realm for martial artists, the Internal Force Realm.

Wenzhao is a powerful martial artist above the Internal Force Realm, and Jiang Yuan's original body knew very little about the realms above that.

He only knew it was called the Blood Force Realm?

After learning this information, Jiang Yuan felt a little excited.

Since he had transmigrated to this world of martial arts, he also wanted to try shattering the void and reaching the pinnacle of martial arts.

To see if martial artists could ultimately achieve the divine state of dripping blood to regenerate and shattering mountains and rivers with a single finger.

For a moment, Jiang Yuan began to daydream.

After sending Wenzhao away, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but circulate his Blood Qi technique.

Ten Directions Fist

He could feel his blood flowing and his body temperature slowly rising.

If the Blood Qi stage had to be divided into realms.

It could be divided into three realms: nascent Blood Qi, surging Blood Qi, and perfect Blood Qi, corresponding to the early, middle, and late stages.

The current Jiang Yuan inherited the strength of his original body, reaching the surging Blood Qi realm, which is the middle stage of Blood Qi.

Jiang Yuan could feel that his body was full of strength.

If he returned to his previous life now, he would probably be much stronger than those "King of Soldiers" returning home...

[Simulated Life]

[Exchange Rewards]

[Personal Backpack]

A cheat!

I thought I, Jiang Yuan, would follow the path of a mortal defying the heavens, but I didn't expect to have a cheat.

A few lines of glowing green text appeared in Jiang Yuan's vision, looking somewhat like a game interface.

Jiang Yuan clicked on "Simulated Life" without hesitation.

A block of information appeared in his mind. The function of the Past Life Simulator was to provide simulated lives, and the host needed to conquer these simulated lives to obtain rewards.

This is somewhat like a dungeon...

[No simulated lives available to enter currently]

Huh?

Jiang Yuan was stunned, then quickly saw "[Past Life Simulation]" in the bottom right corner.

Upon touching it with his consciousness.

[First time activating the Past Life Simulator, free random draw of simulated life template]

[Draw complete]

Then, a line of text suddenly appeared in "[Simulated Life]".

[Martial Emperor]

Four golden, shining characters appeared before Jiang Yuan's eyes.

Jiang Yuan licked his lips, his eyes shining with excitement.

This, this, this, am I, Jiang Yuan, not following the normal system flow but the invincible flow?

Without any hesitation, Jiang Yuan clicked on his first simulated life.

[This simulated life journey begins]

A wave of dizziness washed over him. When Jiang Yuan opened his eyes again, his surroundings had completely changed.

He was in an incredibly luxurious room, with purple wood beams, a spirit wood bed, and the scent of sandalwood that could dispel inner demons filling the air. Heavenly treasures that were fought over by thousands in the outside world were merely decorations here.

And all of this had nothing to do with Jiang Yuan. He stared blankly at the child in front of him.

The child in front of him seemed to be only three or four years old, dressed in white. From his tender face, it was evident that he would grow into a handsome and elegant man in the future.

However, this white-clothed child was currently wearing a gentle smile, yet his hand was plunged into his own chest...

His own chest?

Jiang Yuan's consciousness blurred again. The last memory etched in his mind was the emotionless golden double pupils of the white-clothed child, eyes like those of a god.

[You have died]

[Age 0: You were born into a top martial arts family. Both your parents were powerful martial artists. You were born emitting a brilliant golden light. After examination by the clan elders, it was discovered you had innate unique bones and were a martial arts prodigy. You received the attention of the entire clan. However, at the age of three, your cousin, who possessed double pupils, inexplicably took advantage of your parents' inattention and dug out your unique bones. Your parents were enraged but still could not save you. You died.]

Jiang Yuan, who had just returned to reality, was completely bewildered.

How long have I lived, only to die like this?

Damn it! What happened to the Martial Emperor I was promised!

What happened to being invincible!

Died right at the start! This is bullshit!

My first life was apparently a standard "Desolate Heavenly Emperor" template, just without the protagonist's halo.

Fuck!

Jiang Yuan refused to believe it and activated the Martial Emperor's simulated life once more.

[This simulated life journey has begun]

Snap

A small hand, like a tender bamboo shoot, plunged into Jiang Yuan's chest.

[You have died]

"Sweetly! Simulator, you're messing with me!"

[This simulated life journey has begun]

Snap

[You have died]

[This simulated life journey has begun]

Snap

[You have died]

Jiang Yuan lay on the bed, his eyes vacant.

He had gone through it over fifty times in one go.

Each time, he died immediately, with no discernible difference.

Although Jiang Yuan desperately wanted to resist, in his simulated life, he was a newborn infant, completely powerless to resist.

Jiang Yuan also wanted to shout and warn his parents and loved ones in this life, but it was utterly useless.

The start was a dead end!

Now, all Jiang Yuan had gained was the knowledge that the white-clothed boy had plunged his hand into his chest to pull out a bone.

This bone seemed to be the "exotic bone" mentioned in the simulation summary.

This, this, this isn't right.

In his first life, he had nothing to rely on. The only difference between him and others in that first life was the exotic bone in his chest.

And it was precisely his exotic bone that caused the dead end.

This is what it's like to have a protagonist's template but not a protagonist's fate.

Wait! Exotic bone!

Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up. Since the simulator had provided this simulated life, there must be a way to break through. It wouldn't present an unsolvable situation.

His starting point should be focused on this exotic bone.

Subsequently, Jiang Yuan persistently continued to click on [Martial Emperor].

As always, the white-clothed boy's hand reached for Jiang Yuan's chest, but a burst of scorching fire suddenly appeared.
