Martial Arts Brought Back to Reality

The exact situation was as follows.

At Ding Ling's current level of cultivation, it was impossible for him to investigate the matter clearly.

He merely warned himself inwardly:

I must keep improving myself! I absolutely can't let success go to my head!

After all, who knew whether there were peerless experts hiding in the shadows, watching over all living beings?

"The matter of the library absolutely cannot be exposed."

With his eyes slightly closed, Ding Ling could see a library standing in his Sea of Consciousness.

He did not know whether a great expert could see through his Sea of Consciousness.

However, to be safe,

he still decided to give his all to become stronger first.

"As long as I become strong enough, nothing will be worth worrying about. Ultimately, the reason I'm so anxious now is that I'm still too weak!"

Ding Ling furrowed his brows and pondered for a long while before steadying himself and turning to look at the character panel.

Converting your current strength to reality requires 7 ordinary Achievement Medals. Convert?

It actually required seven!

Ding Ling carefully read through the instructions for a while and understood.

After entering the game, his Strength, Agility, and Constitution had each increased by no less than 7 points! Some had even increased by more than that.

The rules of the game were that every 1-point increase in Strength, Agility, or Constitution required 1 Achievement Medal for conversion. If Strength had increased by 3 points, the principle was the same.

However, if the conversion required five or more Achievement Medals,

the game rules would automatically omit the digits after the decimal point.

That was why Ding Ling needed to spend seven.

"Achievement Medals are so useful. If nothing unexpected happens, the players should all work hard to farm achievements and raise their favorability with historical figures!"

However, raising favorability takes even more time. Compared to that, farming praise, recognition, and amazement like I do seems easier?

For ordinary players, raising favorability was easy.

But for someone like Ding Ling, who had a cheat, what he needed to farm was recognition, praise, astonishment, and so on.

"Looks like I'll have to show off openly and unreservedly in the future."

Ding Ling understood and stopped hesitating, choosing to convert.

Conversion successful.

Do you wish to return to the real world?

Yes!

Whoosh!

The light beneath his feet began to swirl, carrying Ding Ling upward through the sky. In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the top of the heavens.

The next moment.

"Whew!"

Ding Ling suddenly opened his eyes and looked around. Seeing that he had indeed returned to his rented apartment, he could not help taking several deep breaths.

That flight just now had been so fast that he had nearly suffocated.

"This game is really too realistic."

Ding Ling muttered to himself.

He stretched out his hands and clenched his fists.

"Didn't they say martial arts and strength could be brought back to the real world?"

"Why does it feel like the changes aren't that great?"

But the next second,

an endless sense of strength suddenly surged through his limbs and bones!

Ding Ling's body trembled, and he nearly floated into the air.

"This Agility, Constitution, and Strength feel exactly the same as they did in the game!"

Ding Ling was dumbfounded.

He swung his fists and feet.

Using his arm as a spear, he unleashed the Advanced Spear Technique, striking five starbursts into the air.

Using his leg as a staff, he could actually perform the Water Fire Dragon Binding Staff Technique!

One leg kicked through the air, just like an iron staff sweeping across an entire army!

Using his palm as a saber, he unleashed the Battlefield Saber Art, filling the air with an iron-blooded baleful qi.

"Very good."

Ding Ling was pleasantly surprised.

"Sure enough, the martial arts from the game really can be brought back to the real world."

"This is too miraculous!"

Ding Ling clicked his tongue in praise.

But then he thought of how heaven-defying the library was.

He felt relieved.

Perhaps everything unreasonable was simply because he was too weak at present.

It was like an ant. It could never understand how a towering mountain could suddenly collapse.

The mountains reaching the heavens in their eyes might merely be trees, and when humans cut down those trees, they would be unable to perceive it in any meaningful way.

It was just like how humans could not understand gods from the fourth dimension.

"Hmm?"

Ding Ling suddenly felt unbearably hungry.

He had experienced this feeling in the game world as well.

Without wasting any more time, he immediately took out the food he had prepared earlier.

There was a large amount of bread, instant noodles, dried beef, and the like.

Ding Ling finished eating all thirty boxes of stored food.

He was still not full.

Only after he took the food from the refrigerator, stir-fried it, and ate it did he finally feel somewhat satisfied.

"..."

Ding Ling was stunned.

He touched his stomach.

How can I eat so much? And my stomach didn't even get bigger after eating. Could it be that the energy from the food was all used to replenish what I had expended?

His strength had risen rapidly before.

As a result, even his height and build seemed to have changed.

He measured himself.

Sure enough, he had grown considerably taller than before.

His physique also seemed to have become more robust!

"I really have become a muscular brute."

Ding Ling admired himself in the mirror for a while.

He discovered that his looks and bearing had both improved by a great deal.

He could not help nodding inwardly.

"If things continue developing like this, becoming a handsome and dashing man is probably only a matter of time."

"But the most urgent thing is to leave this place."

The only valuable thing was the gaming helmet.

As for food?

He had just finished eating it all!

Only two bags of rice remained uncooked.

He immediately began packing up.

He packed his clothes, pants, and other belongings into boxes.

After putting on a hat, mask, and the like, he went straight to find the landlady and terminate his lease.

The landlady was a stunning beauty and quite easy to talk to. She was merely puzzled as to why Ding Ling suddenly wanted to leave.

After all, Ding Ling had lived here for several years.

They could be considered old acquaintances.

Naturally, she asked a few more questions.

Ding Ling asked curiously:

"Don't you play Myth Game?"

"What does that have to do with your leaving?"

The landlady returned Ding Ling's deposit, looked up at him, and said in confusion:

"You know me. I don't play games."

"I think you should give it a try."

Ding Ling had a pretty good impression of the landlady as well.

In fact, before Ding Ling transmigrated, his predecessor had pursued the landlady. He had merely been rejected.

Ding Ling had accepted all of his predecessor's memories, so even though he had a favorable impression of the landlady, he did not pursue her again. The gap between them was too great; he would only be asking for humiliation.

As for how rich the landlady was?

One only had to look at the dozen or so buildings she owned in several major cities to know!

Her assets were worth far more than several billion!

She was a bona fide wealthy woman!

Strangely enough, however, her only hobby was collecting rent. Aside from that, she read novels, listened to music, worked out, or went to the park to listen to the old men and women gossip.

She did not resemble a woman in her twenties at all, despite being in the prime of her life. Instead, she seemed more like a retired old lady.

"Really?"

The beautiful landlady nodded.

"Even you, Ding Ling, are saying that. Looks like I really should give it a try."

"..."

"Don't look at me like that."

The beautiful landlady glanced at Ding Ling and smiled.

"You never used to play games either, did you? Now you've suddenly started playing and are even recommending it to me. This game must have something truly extraordinary about it, especially..."

She took out Ding Ling's old videos and compared them with his photos. After nodding, she said:

"Now I'm even more certain that this game is worth playing."

She seemed rather excited.

"I heard that playing games could lead to a second growth spurt, but I didn't believe it..."
