Option 2 was a martial arts realm, and it was naturally Zheng Qian's greatest gain from this simulation, making it a must-pick.
As for Option 3, during this simulation, he had once again fought his way across the world. In particular, the combat experience he had gained from fighting experts like Dongfang Bubai was exactly what he currently lacked.
Once he obtained it, his strength would inevitably receive a tremendous boost.
As for the final Options 5 and 6.
Sun Swallowing Divine Art was a technique he had created by combining the strengths of several Innate-level techniques, including Purple Cloud Divine Skill, Star Absorbing Great Method, and Yi Jin Jing, making it the technique most suited to him.
Later on, he had even absorbed the essence of the Sunflower Manual and the Tai Chi Fist Manual.
It could be said that choosing this one technique was equivalent to choosing several others.
There was naturally no need to explain Dugu Nine Swords. In order to cultivate it to his current level, he had slaughtered his way through the entire martial world.
As Zheng Qian made his choice, countless streams of heat suddenly surged into existence inside his body.
As those streams of heat appeared, he immediately sensed his body rapidly transforming and growing stronger. Within his Dantian Sea of Qi, strands of extraordinarily condensed Innate True Qi and grandmaster-level qi began to emerge, while the Eight Extraordinary Meridians throughout his body were rapidly unblocked and broadened.
However, the streams of heat came and went just as quickly. In a mere few seconds, they vanished without a trace.
And as the heat disappeared, Zheng Qian immediately sensed that his entire being had become different.
However, before he had time to carefully feel the changes within his body, countless images rapidly surfaced in his mind.
They were the scenes of him fighting others during this simulation: Feng Qingyang, Ren Woxing, Zuo Lengchan, Daoist Chongxu of Wudang, Master Fangzheng of Shaolin, and Dongfang Bubai of the Sun Moon Holy Cult...
There were also scenes showing him how to deal with all kinds of poisoning, traps, assassinations, and more.
The scenes flashed through his mind like images glimpsed from a passing horse, yet, in a wondrous way, every one of them was deeply engraved there, making it impossible for him to forget them even if he wanted to.
These images also came and went quickly. From beginning to end, the entire process lasted only a few breaths.
Once the images ended, the technique Sun Swallowing Divine Art surfaced in Zheng Qian's mind.
It contained not only the technique's complete contents but also the entire process of him creating and cultivating Sun Swallowing Divine Art during the simulation.
After only a few breaths, his understanding of Sun Swallowing Divine Art reached the realm of perfection.
After Sun Swallowing Divine Art came the martial art Dugu Nine Swords.
Although Dugu Nine Swords had not been created by Zheng Qian, once he began inheriting the reward, the number of images that surfaced in his mind was dozens or even hundreds of times greater than those of Sun Swallowing Divine Art.
However, most of those images overlapped with the scenes from when he inherited the combat experience.
Thus, although there were many images, the time consumed was still only a few breaths.
"This strength... is truly terrifying!"
No one knew how much time had passed. After completely digesting all the contents, Zheng Qian felt the immense Innate True Qi and pure grandmaster qi within his body and could not help exclaiming.
He had a feeling that he could now effortlessly kill a hundred or even a thousand versions of his former self!
Furthermore, because his body in reality was also extremely young—only eighteen years old—
his body was likewise being continuously strengthened and improved by the Innate True Qi within him, just as it had been during the simulation.
Moreover, the quantity and quality of the Innate True Qi within him were now far, far greater than when he had just broken through to the Innate Realm during the simulation.
Therefore, the extent to which his body was strengthened in reality would inevitably be even greater.
Once the strengthening was complete, his strength would naturally surpass what it had been in the simulation!
However, this process would be a long one, lasting at least several months.
Feeling his strength and speed of thought continuously increasing, Zheng Qian's mind stirred, and he summoned his Attribute Panel:
[Myriad Worlds Simulator] Host: Zheng Qian Realm: Half-step Grandmaster Realm Talents: Eating is a Blessing (White); Strength Multiplier (White); Purple Cloud Divine Skill Simplified Body (Green) Simulation Points: 0 (Recovery Rate: 1 day/1 point) Storage Space: 1,000 cubic meters (+)
"Is the realm above the Innate Realm the Grandmaster Realm? And this newly acquired green talent... That name is truly simple and crude."
Looking at his brand-new attributes, Zheng Qian muttered thoughtfully.
As his strength increased, the speed at which he obtained Simulation Points also rose considerably, reaching a rate of one point per day.
At this rate, he only needed to wait ten days before he could begin his next simulation.
Of course, that would be an ordinary simulation without a talent. If he wanted to obtain another new talent during the simulation, he would have to wait twenty days.
Naturally, all of this depended on him not finding any treasures capable of increasing his Simulation Points during that time. Otherwise, the wait would be drastically shortened.
"Half-step Grandmaster! It's time to investigate my background in this world..."
After casually closing the panel, Zheng Qian felt the increasingly powerful strength within his body, and a cold glint flashed through his eyes.
In Tongyang County, where the strongest person was only at the half-step Innate Realm, his current strength was invincible!
No—even throughout Xishan Commandery, there was probably no one who could match him!
After being hunted for so long, it was time for him to collect a little interest.
That night, under dark skies and fierce winds, a figure silently flew out from a well.
After casually surveying the surroundings, it transformed into an afterimage and shot northwest.
The figure was Zheng Qian, and the place he was heading toward was naturally the County Yamen that had imprisoned him for several days.
If one asked who in all of Tongyang County knew the most about his identity in this world, it was undoubtedly the county magistrate.
Thus, the county magistrate naturally became his first target.
As a Half-step Grandmaster Realm expert, Zheng Qian had not obtained any movement techniques, but his speed was still as fast as lightning.
In less than fifteen minutes, he had reappeared outside the County Yamen after several days away.
However, he had not come merely to kill someone this time. He also needed to learn from the county magistrate why his predecessor's entire family had been dispossessed and exterminated.
Therefore, he did not want to alert too many people for the moment.
The County Yamen was neither large nor small. Altogether, it had more than thirty rooms, and many of the buildings had their purposes written beside their doors.
For example: the Clerk's Office, Household Office, Rites Office, Works Office...
The county magistrate's residence was naturally at the very back.
Soon, Zheng Qian appeared outside a courtyard in the northeastern corner of the County Yamen.
The courtyard before him was where the county magistrate and his family lived.
After casually taking a look, Zheng Qian silently flashed forward and knocked out the two yamen runners guarding the entrance. He then walked straight inside with unabashed ease.
