The First Simulation Ends

[One night, you were practicing the Mountain Shaking Fist when a Black Clad Man appeared in your room. You did not notice someone beside you until you had finished practicing and were preparing to continue for a while. Though inwardly alarmed by his attire, you calmly asked the Black Clad Man his purpose.]

[The Black Clad Man told you that he possessed an Inheritance Secret Realm that required someone with high comprehension who was still in the Body Tempering Realm to enter. He had passed through Fengyuan City, heard of your situation, and come to find you. He wanted to take you away, making it clear that he was not negotiating with you—he was merely informing you.]

[Faced with this situation, make your choice.]

[Option One: Obediently heed the Black Clad Man's words and leave Yuanfeng City with him without resistance, heading for the Inheritance Secret Realm.]

[Option Two: Refuse the Black Clad Man, saying that you did not want to go anywhere and only wished to remain in the Ye Family.]

[Option Three: This outfit clearly marked him as no good person. Shout for help and create some combat disturbance nearby, drawing the Ye Family's experts over to kill the Black Clad Man.]

"Choose? Since the Black Clad Man said he wanted to forcibly take me away, the second option was clearly unusable. As for option three, he had silently infiltrated the Ye Family and found my room without anyone noticing. He was obviously capable. It was hard to say whether the Ye Family had an expert who could suppress him, but calling for help was clearly not viable. The gap in strength was too great; the Black Clad Man could forcibly take me away the moment I reacted."

After hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind.

[System, choose option one. Follow the Black Clad Man to the Inheritance Secret Realm.]

[After a brief period of thought, you chose to follow the Black Clad Man to the Inheritance Secret Realm. In your view, it was merely a simulation. Even if you died, it would still be scouting the path for you. Perhaps you might truly find a way to improve your Bone Structure. Even if the Black Clad Man had not appeared this time, you had planned to leave soon to seek a solution.]

[After leaving Fengyuan City, you were swept along toward an unknown destination. On the third day after leaving Fengyuan City, you and the Black Clad Man were preparing to head to the next city to rest. Suddenly, the sky darkened. You only sensed a golden phantom rushing toward you. You had no time to dodge. You died.]

[Simulation ended. Overall rating: 25]

[You cultivated diligently throughout your life. Though you knew your Bone Structure was poor, you remained unwavering. For an Ordinary Person, your conviction was worthy of praise, but utterly Useless. You died like an ant due to the combat shockwaves from Feng Que and Zhang Hong's battle. As a transmigrator, you could also be called the shame of transmigrators.]

[Please choose a reward from the following options.]

[Option One: Increase your realm by one level. Costs 3 Points. Can be selected repeatedly; the Points consumed vary depending on your realm.]

[Option Two: Raise the Mountain Shaking Fist to Initial Mastery. Costs 5 Points. Can be selected repeatedly.]

Looking at the two reward options on the Status Panel, Ye Feng quickly understood that these were the rewards he could obtain through simulating his life. As for the system's harsh evaluation, it was indeed fair and to the point; he could not find a single reason to refute it. Yet Ye Feng still wanted to say, "Do not bully the poor youth. I had no choice before, but now I want to be a genius."

His thoughts returned, and he quickly said,

[System, raise my realm to the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm and the Mountain Shaking Fist to Initial Proficiency.]

[23 evaluation points consumed. Rewards issued.]

The moment the rewards were issued, Ye Feng felt a wave of warmth spread through his entire body. Then waves of insights surged into his mind, as though he had personally honed them through arduous training. Moments later, he felt that he could beat ten of his former selves to death. At the same time, he noticed that he seemed to have grown slightly taller, while his body had changed from its previous trace of baby fat into taut, firm muscles. Looking down through his collar, Ye Feng could even see his abs.

Feeling the changes in his body, Ye Feng was not alarmed in the slightest. This was simply how the Body Tempering Realm worked. As one's cultivation improved, one's physical condition would grow better and better, especially for geniuses with solid foundations. Most of his previous breakthroughs had been raised through the spiritual medicine Mother Lin Lan gave him, which was why the changes had not been so obvious. Now it seemed that the system's rewards were the result of tempering he had truly earned himself.

At the same time, some changes appeared on his status panel.

Name: Ye Feng

Race: Human Race

Lifespan: 8/120

Bone Structure: Mortal Grade Low Rank

Realm: Sixth Level Body Tempering Realm

Stamina: 15

Strength: 39

Agility: 12

Spirit: 26

Charm: 82/100

Martial Skill Divine Ability: Mountain Shaking Fist (15/2000) Initial Proficiency

...

Looking at the newly appeared attributes such as stamina and strength, Ye Feng found them somewhat novel. Charm was easy enough to understand. After all, with the bloodline of the Ye Family's Direct Lineage, his appearance could not possibly be too poor. As for the other attributes, their differences were obvious. Agility and stamina were far lower than strength and spirit. His spirit attribute was perhaps related to his Talent, so it was understandable for it to be twice as high. As for strength...

Ye Feng guessed that his strength attribute was so high most likely because of the Mountain Shaking Fist, which was why it far surpassed the other three attributes. By that standard, stamina and agility should be average for the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm. Or perhaps they were slightly lower because he was still too young.

Through this simulation, Ye Feng had also learned one lesson: before becoming powerful enough to protect himself, he absolutely could not grow proud over minor achievements. Although no one outside the clan seemed to have noticed his Martial Skill Talent in the simulation, he understood what had happened during his sparring matches with fellow clansmen. Because of his rapid progress in the Mountain Shaking Fist, his simulated self had been unable to resist showing it off to the clan, and that was what brought disaster upon him. If not for that, he would certainly have been able to obtain more information.

After checking his status panel, he opened the door. Seeing the spiritual medicine Lin Lan had prepared for him on the large Jade Stone beside the door, Ye Feng smiled faintly. He picked it up and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls. Although the spiritual medicine was bitter, and his former self had disliked drinking it, Ye Feng now possessed awakened memories and the mentality of an adult. This little bitterness was nothing.
