[28 years old: You are the vanguard of the Black Profound Army, bravely going into battle, and died in the war between the Xuan Shang Imperial Dynasty and the Golden Court.]

Jiang Yuan couldn't hold on in the end and had his head cut off by the opponent's saber.

In reality, Jiang Yuan opened his eyes, his gaze slightly rippling.

The surrounding shouts of killing and the clashing of weapons abruptly stopped.

They were replaced by the quiet sound of the wind and the rustling outside the window.

Having died too many times in his First Life, Jiang Yuan no longer felt the initial fear of death.

Jiang Yuan quickly began to analyze based on his recent experience.

First, this simulated life was experiencing a war. He should have been a warrior on one side of the battle, fighting fiercely.

The summary of his life after death also indicated the opposing sides of the conflict.

And he had no weapon on him! This was very likely because it had been knocked away earlier.

Then, his cultivation was different from reality. His body seemed to have been replaced, and his cultivation was only at the early stage of Late Qi and Blood.

However, some talent-like abilities seemed to have been carried over into the simulated life.

[River Spirit's Blessing] was carried over. [Hardworking and Enduring] couldn't be determined.

The Exotic Bone and Acquired Savage Physique were not carried over.

Jiang Yuan guessed that perhaps because the Exotic Bone and Acquired Savage Physique could directly change his combat power, they were restricted in the simulated life and couldn't be synchronized.

However, auxiliary talent abilities like [River Spirit's Blessing] were different.

Being able to bring talents into the simulation was good news for Jiang Yuan.

[River Spirit's Blessing] helped Jiang Yuan see through the abnormalities in the sky. Although Jiang Yuan had never encountered such a thing, he inexplicably knew what these dark mists were.

Killing Intent.

This was the information Jiang Yuan had gathered so far.

Then, what was the condition to clear this simulated life?

The simulator wouldn't state the clearing conditions, but the clearing conditions for the previous two lives were very clear.

The First Life was to survive the so-called First Tribulation and live under the hands of the boy in white.

The Second Life was to escape the village.

And the Third Life?

Survive? Defeat the opponent? Or something else...

These were all things he needed to explore.

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and entered his Third Life again.

The surrounding sounds became noisy again. Jiang Yuan slightly turned his face and dodged an arrow. He instantly grabbed a saber that had fallen on the ground.

Immediately, a saber light flashed before his eyes, and Jiang Yuan instantly blocked with the saber in his hand.

A huge collision sound rang out. Jiang Yuan felt his hand go numb.

The opponent's arm strength was too great, far stronger than his current body.

Jiang Yuan's expression remained unchanged. The saber technique in his hand became sharp and tricky.

It was the Duanmen Saber Technique, perfected to Great Accomplishment.

Every saber strike was fatal. Then, the blade turned and transformed into the majestic Tiger Roar Saber Technique.

A tiger's roar sounded, and the opponent's saber was slightly pushed away.

Just as Jiang Yuan was about to press his advantage and finish the enemy, his heart suddenly sounded an alarm.

He slightly shifted his body, and a sharp pain came from under his armpit. Jiang Yuan's pupils contracted as he looked behind him. A disheveled soldier, with a ferocious expression, thrust his spear into Jiang Yuan's body.

Then, Jiang Yuan felt his body being violently thrown up.

In the next moment, he lost consciousness.

He was careless. A battlefield was different from a one-on-one duel. On the battlefield, as long as you could survive, any means were fair game!

Jiang Yuan cursed inwardly and entered his Third Life again.

Jiang Yuan tilted his head, dodging the arrow, picked up the saber from the ground, blocked the incoming saber light with one strike, and then pressed forward aggressively.

The saber edge scraped against the soldier's saber, creating a shower of sparks.

He unleashed his Qi and Blood, and a tiger's roar suppressed the soldier's surging Qi and Blood. With one strike, he severed the enemy's head.

Hot blood sprayed onto Jiang Yuan's face.

At this moment, his heart sounded an alarm. Jiang Yuan's expression remained unchanged. He thrust the saber behind him, and a powerful force came from behind.

Following the force, Jiang Yuan rolled forward.

Then, another saber light followed.

Jiang Yuan didn't have time to react and lost consciousness.

In reality, Jiang Yuan rubbed his forehead. There were too many variables on the battlefield, especially in close-quarters combat with a saber, which was extremely dangerous.

If only he had a long weapon; long weapons were the main players on the battlefield.

Jiang Yuan opened the simulation again.

Third time, he was hacked to death by a flurry of blades.

Fourth time, after killing three people, he was ambushed from behind and stabbed to death.

Fifth time, after killing five people, he was shot and killed from behind by an arrow.

Sixth time, he encountered a Hua Jin expert and was crushed.

Seventh time, after killing eight people, an officer from the Black Profound Armored Soldiers grabbed Jiang Yuan and gestured for him to follow. It seemed like he was supposed to complete some mission, but in the next second, he was hacked to death.

Eighth time, after following the officer, he dodged numerous attacks but was still killed by a Hua Jin expert.

Jiang Yuan opened his eyes, feeling somewhat exhausted.

The powerful force of the Hua Jin expert had easily shattered Jiang Yuan's protective Qi and Blood, and his palm had crushed Jiang Yuan's heart.

Without the enhancement of the Exotic Bone, Jiang Yuan's Qi and Blood cultivation was still struggling against a Hua Jin expert.

Moreover, in the unfamiliar environment of the simulation, Jiang Yuan's abilities were also greatly restricted.

The simulation's usage limit had been reached.

This time, he had only simulated eight times before reaching the limit, unlike the continuous simulations in his First Life.

Perhaps it was because in his First Life, he hadn't performed any strenuous actions. The only thing Jiang Yuan did in his First Life was activate the Exotic Bone.

But now, in his Third Life, every simulation Jiang Yuan underwent involved intense combat.

Since his Third Life had begun, some abilities inherent to his Third Life body should have been activated in the [Redemption Rewards].

Each simulation would refresh the inherent abilities available for redemption before completion, and there would be additional rewards from the subsequent simulations after completion.

Jiang Yuan opened [Redemption Rewards], hoping the newly refreshed rewards could help him.

He skipped the first few redemption rewards and looked at the new items that had appeared.

[Army Formation Killing Fist: Points * 20]

[Army Formation Spear Art: Points * 20]

[Army Formation Saber Art: Points * 20]

[Keen Killing Intent Perception (Beginner): Points * 80]

The first three were military martial arts, very basic, even inferior to the Duanmen Saber Technique, but they were suitable for the battlefield.

The last one, Keen Killing Intent Perception, was a talent-based ability.

[Keen Killing Intent Perception (Beginner): Having experienced many battles, you have adapted to killing intent. You are unexpectedly sensitive to killing intent and can sense the killing intent of others.]

This talent seemed useless. There was killing intent everywhere on the battlefield, so sensing it wouldn't be of much help.

Instead, the three rudimentary martial arts above might be more suitable for Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan looked at the remaining seventy points he had and immediately learned all three military martial arts.

On the battlefield, these martial arts might prove extremely useful.

Information flooded into Jiang Yuan's mind.

This time, it wasn't cultivation experience but purely martial arts information, similar to the Heavenly Formed Exotic Bone Feather Ascension Scripture. It only contained martial arts information, not cultivation experience.

With his advanced understanding and the foundation of the Ten Directions Fist and Tiger Roar Saber Technique, Jiang Yuan's comprehension speed for the Army Formation Killing Fist and Army Formation Saber Art was quite fast.

His progress with the Army Formation Spear Art was slightly slower, but he still gained some understanding quickly.

Because these three martial arts were so simple and basic, Jiang Yuan suspected that the simulator had ripped him off for sixty points.
