Scoring and Rewards

[In the fortieth year, your cultivation remained stuck at the peak of Hidden Force, without the slightest improvement.

You had also sought guidance from Huo Yuanjia, who had already reached the realm of Hua Jin, but unfortunately, even he did not know exactly how he had broken through.

He only knew that at a certain moment, he had suddenly become incredibly calm. Then, with a sudden realization, he broke through directly.

You could not understand such mysterious and elusive words at all and could only continue training bitterly.]

[That same year, in order to suppress Tianjin's martial arts world, the great powers deliberately selected several strongmen to set up arenas and issue challenges everywhere. They won match after match, to the point that Tianjin's entire martial arts community could barely hold its head up.

Soon afterward, Master Qin, who was nearly sixty, could no longer stand by and personally took the stage. He won three matches in a row, restoring the confidence of countless martial artists.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last. In the fourth match, Master Qin, whose strength had already begun to decline, encountered the British Strongman and ultimately suffered a crushing defeat. The Chinese were also branded with the humiliating title of the 'Sick Man of East Asia.']

[Huo Yuanjia, who had emerged from seclusion a year earlier, heard of this and resolved to fight for his people.

As his friend, you naturally supported him with all your strength and immediately spent money to build momentum for him through newspaper advertisements.]

[Huo Yuanjia truly deserved to be a one-in-ten-thousand Hua Jin expert. He defeated the British Strongman with a single move, then proceeded to win match after match, beating the great powers so thoroughly that no one dared step forward again.

Huo Yuanjia's fame swiftly soared, and he directly obtained the title he had once dreamed of—'Number One in Tianjin.']

[Having witnessed this scene firsthand, you knew the time had come. You immediately sold off your assets and prepared to establish the Jingwu Society together with Huo Yuanjia, intending to carry forward traditional martial arts, strengthen the people, and build healthier bodies.]

[In the forty-first year, the Jingwu Society that you and Huo Yuanjia had founded was officially established.

For a time, followers gathered like clouds, and the place buzzed with excitement.

But to the great powers, your Jingwu Society was an unstable factor that threatened their rule. They were eager to get rid of you.]

[In the forty-second year, the Eight Great Powers each carefully selected a martial arts expert from their own countries and jointly formed a Challenge Team, issuing a life-or-death challenge to Huo Yuanjia, the Number One in Tianjin.

Faced with the challenge, Huo Yuanjia naturally accepted without hesitation.

As a transmigrator, you knew the great powers had no good intentions, so you decided to face the challenge alongside Huo Yuanjia.

Knowing your strength, Huo Yuanjia did not stop you and instead had you take the stage first to face the first challenger.

As an expert at the peak of Hidden Force, bolstered for thirty years by the talent 'Eating is a Blessing,' there were very few in this world who could defeat you. The martial arts masters found by the great powers were certainly not among them.]

[A month later, you won battle after battle, defeating seven opponents in succession by yourself. You struck ruthlessly and without mercy; those you defeated either died or were crippled. For a time, your fame was unmatched, and countless countrymen learned that such a powerful expert existed among the common people.]

[As the saying went, a tall tree catches the wind. Your overwhelming performance made the great powers lose all face, so when you faced Tanaka Yasuno, the final Japanese Contestant, someone secretly switched your tea.

By the time you discovered it, it was already too late.

You had never expected that the underhanded trick meant for Huo Yuanjia would be used on you instead. All the precautions you had taken beforehand proved useless.]

[You did not possess Huo Yuanjia's body, which was immune to all poisons. Thus, having been poisoned too deeply, you were beyond saving.

But at the brink of death, you exhausted everything you had to unleash the killing punch of the Huo Family Fist, perishing together with Tanaka Yasuno.

And in that instant when you gave it your all, you finally saw the opportunity to break through to Hua Jin.

Unfortunately, it was too late...]

[You died. The simulation ended.]

"?That's it? Just like that? Damn..." Zheng Qian stared at his ending, somewhat speechless...

The text before him continued scrolling:

[Ding! Simulation complete. Host evaluation: 71 points, excellent.]

[Based on the host's score, choose four of the following options as rewards:

1. White Talent: Eating is a Blessing.

2. Late-stage Body Tempering Realm strength.

3. Combat Experience.

4. Life Experience.

5. Huo Family Fist (peak Great Accomplishment).

6. Flying Swallow Skill (Great Accomplishment).

7. Xingyi Quan (Great Accomplishment).

8. Baji Quan (Great Accomplishment).

9. Qin Family Saber (Great Accomplishment).

10...

23. Coiling Dragon Staff (Minor Accomplishment).

24. Five Thousand Silver Dollars.

25. One Refined Iron Longsword.]

"Good lord, there are actually so many martial arts..." Zheng Qian muttered in shock as he looked at the lengthy list of more than twenty options.

As for his score, he had completely changed Huo Yuanjia's life. Not only Huo Yuanjia's, but the lives of many important supporting characters had also changed because of him—Master Qin's family, Huo Yuanjia's family, the martial arts experts found by the great powers, and so on.

Therefore, he was not surprised in the slightest that he had received an 'excellent' rating.

After recovering from his shock, Zheng Qian immediately made his choice. "I choose 1, 2, 5, and 6!"

Talent and strength were mandatory choices, while Life Experience was the exact opposite—a choice he would never make.

After all, he was only in his twenties. If he suddenly gained more than forty years of simulated memories, would he still be himself?

As for why he chose 5 and 6 instead of the others?

Option 5, the Huo Family Fist, had the highest realm of mastery, so it naturally took priority.

Option 6, the Flying Swallow Skill, was a movement art and the perfect choice for pursuing enemies or escaping. Its boost to his strength was far greater than choosing another offensive martial art.

Actually, if he could, he also wanted to choose 3. It would greatly increase his strength as well, but unfortunately, there were no ifs.

The moment Zheng Qian made his choice, countless streams of heat appeared from nowhere inside his body.

Wherever the heat currents passed, the strength of his flesh, blood, bones, and tendons began rising crazily.

Yet in just a few seconds, everything was over.

But before Zheng Qian could feel the explosive increase in power within his body, an intricate set of fist and leg techniques rapidly emerged in his mind.

It was as though he had practiced both for decades. In a mere instant, he gained an extremely profound understanding of them, one so deeply ingrained that he could not forget it even if he tried.

As for his talent, 'Eating is a Blessing,' after obtaining it, he felt nothing except that he was somewhat hungrier.

"What incredible strength! I can take on at least thirty to fifty of my old selves now!"

Feeling the earth-shaking changes in his body, a sharp gleam flashed through Zheng Qian's eyes.

But it was still not enough!

He had just tested it. With his current strength, he still could not break the chains binding his hands and feet.

So, he had to continue!

With a thought, his Attribute Panel swiftly appeared before him:

Realm: Late-stage Body Tempering Realm

Talent: Eating is a Blessing (White); (White Talent Refresh Chances *2)

Simulation Points: 2 (recovery speed: 1 point/7 days)

Looking at his completely renewed attributes, Zheng Qian murmured, "Two more chances? Continue!"
