Battle Zhang Sanfeng, Breakthrough, Ascension?

[In the thirty-fifth year, you once again moved from the Southern Border to the mountains of the Southwest, continuing your journey.

As for your two junior brothers, Zhang Jun Bao and Dong Tian Bao, you haven't heard from them in a very long time.]

[In the thirty-eighth year, having traveled almost all around the Central Plains, you returned to Shaolin Temple.]

[By this time, you were no longer the same as before. Although your strength was still at the peak of Hua Jin, you were only half a step away from surpassing it.

Unfortunately, this half step had been blocking you for many years.

Even though you had defeated countless experts and seen countless magnificent landscapes in these years...]

[The reason you returned to Shaolin today was because traveling the world was no longer useful to you.

What you lacked now was just that elusive flash of inspiration.]

[Back at Shaolin, you quickly learned about the current situation of your two junior brothers from your master, Master Jue Yuan.

As early as six years ago, Dong Tian Bao, who had been wreaking havoc, was killed by Zhang Jun Bao as in the original story, and he personally brought his ashes back to Shaolin.

After that, Zhang Jun Bao, feeling ashamed to stay at Shaolin, changed his name to Zhang San Feng and led several disciples to take over Wudang Mountain, establishing the Wudang Sect.]

[You, who were familiar with the plot, naturally knew everything about the experiences of your two junior brothers. After all, you hadn't changed anything, so the final outcome of the two would naturally not change.

And you, influenced by the talent 'Martial Arts Enthusiast', didn't care about the experiences of your two junior brothers, only saying 'Amitabha'.]

"This talent 'Martial Arts Enthusiast' has a really big impact on me in the simulation. I don't care about anything and only think about learning martial arts and becoming stronger..."

Inside the death row, Zheng Qian looked at the content on the subtitles in front of him, feeling that this ghostly talent was only useful for him in the simulation. It could never be chosen in reality.

[Back at Shaolin, you spent your days either chanting scriptures or practicing martial arts, a life that was monotonous and tasteless.

But you were happy to do so.]

[In the thirty-ninth year, your parents passed away one after another. You cremated them and brought them back to Shaolin, burying them in a feng shui treasure land on the back mountain.]

[In the fortieth year, your master, Master Jue Yuan, also passed away peacefully. You also cremated him and buried him with your junior brother Dong Tian Bao.

Your junior brother Zhang San Feng also traveled thousands of miles to bid farewell to your master.

This year, you still failed to cross that half step to break through above Hua Jin.]

[In the forty-third year, after guarding the mourning period for four years in the back mountain of Shaolin, you had no more concerns.

Suddenly feeling restless, you had a whim and decided to go to Wudang to see your junior brother Zhang San Feng, and also to see his self-created Tai Chi Fist.]

[Half a month later, you arrived at Wudang Mountain without any surprises or dangers along the way.

Your junior brother Zhang San Feng was very happy about your arrival, and he agreed without hesitation to your request to see his Tai Chi Fist.]

[Three days later, after adjusting your condition, you started a battle in a quiet bamboo forest in the back mountain of Wudang Mountain.]

[Zhang San Feng is indeed a martial arts genius that appears once in a century. At only thirty-seven years old this year, he has reached the Hua Jin realm like you.

His self-created Tai Chi Fist is even more superb, especially the unique method of borrowing strength to deflect force, which makes your terrifying strength unable to be used at all.

Of course, you are not only terrifying in strength, but your body tempering skill is also powerful, making it impossible for Zhang San Feng to break through your defense.]

[In this way, the two of you fought from east to west in the bamboo forest, and then from south to north. You broke countless bamboos before and after, and still couldn't determine the winner until the sun went down.

This was the first opponent you had encountered in so many years who could be evenly matched with you, and it was also your most enjoyable battle.

As the battle continued, your fighting spirit became higher and higher.

At this moment, your mind was highly concentrated!

At this moment, your body was active to the limit!

At this moment, you finally found a glimmer of opportunity to break through above Hua Jin...]

[You successfully broke through the limit in the battle with Zhang San Feng and reached the early stage of Houtian Realm above Body Tempering Realm.]

[The Houtian Realm has exceeded the current limit that can be accommodated, and you were rejected from the world of Tai Chi Zhang San Feng by the will of the world.

But for Zhang San Feng, you ascended.]

[You, whose strength was only at the early stage of Houtian, were simply unable to survive in the chaotic void outside the world.]

[You died, the simulation ended.]

"What the hell? I just died like that?" Zheng Qian was speechless for a while looking at the ending of his simulation this time.

This was too outrageous, he was directly thrown out of the world and left to fend for himself.

Unfortunately, things were already done and it was impossible for him to change them.

[Ding! Simulation completed. The host's evaluation for this simulation is: 55 points, Superior.]

[According to the host's score, you can choose three of the following options as rewards:

1, White Talent: Martial Arts Enthusiast.

2, Houtian Realm early stage strength.

3, Combat experience.

4, Life experience.

5, Huo Family Fist (Perfect Level).

6, Flying Swallow Skill (Perfected).

7, Golden Bell Shield (Perfected).

8, Iron Shirt (Perfected).

9, Bora Palm (Perfected).

10, ...

98, Flying Star Fist (Perfected).]

"Tsk, tsk, there really are a lot of martial arts..." Zheng Qian had expected this as he looked at the nearly one hundred Perfected martial arts in the options.

As for his rating, he hardly changed any of the original world's plot this time, so getting a high rating was already pretty good.

Afterward, he made his choice without hesitation: "I choose 2, 3, and 8!"

The side effects of the talent were a bit too much this time, so he didn't dare choose it.

As for 2, it was the martial arts realm, which was his biggest gain from this simulation, so he naturally had to choose it.

As for 3, he once again traveled the world in this simulation, which was even comparable to his last Wong Fei Hung world, and the two didn't overlap, which should help him improve his strength.

As for the last option, 8, he wanted to see what would happen when two Perfected Iron Shirts overlapped.

This would be of great reference value for his future choices.

As Zheng Qian made his choice, countless streams of heat suddenly emerged from nothing within his body.

As these streams of heat appeared, he immediately sensed that his blood, flesh, tendons, bones, and skin were all rapidly improving.

However, in just a few seconds, all of these streams of heat disappeared without a trace.

As the heat streams disappeared, Zheng Qian also sensed that a soft ball of Qi had appeared in his lower abdomen at some point, rotating on its own in a very regular manner.

However, before he could carefully feel the changes in his body, countless images quickly appeared in his mind.

Those were all images of him fighting against others in this simulation: mountain bandits, the Huashan Sect Leader, the Chief Guard of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, the Qingcheng Sect Leader...

One image after another flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, but they were also miraculously deeply imprinted within, impossible to forget even if he wanted to.
