In the following period, Luo Feng was recruited in advance by the Extreme Martial Arts Hall just as he had been before. When he moved house, Yang Wu followed along to take a look.

After witnessing the luxury of the detached villa in Mingyue Residential Quarter, there was a moment when Yang Wu felt like revealing his own strength.

Fortunately, Yang Wu held back in the end; it was only a matter of a month, after all.

Just like that, Yang Wu began to continuously refine his physical strength. After a month, he had finally gained a preliminary grasp of the Primary War General Level power within his body.

And the time had arrived at July 31st.

Late that night, a bright moon hung high in the night sky, and the stars were brilliant.

Lanta Residential Area was silent; everyone had already gone to rest. In a room on the 26th floor of one of the buildings, Yang Wu, who had been lying on the bed, suddenly sat up.

"The time for the Simulator has finally arrived!" Yang Wu took a deep, excited breath. "Whether I can make a splash tomorrow depends on the gains from this simulation!"

At exactly 12:00 AM, the number of simulation attempts on the Simulator refreshed.

"Current simulation attempts: 1. Do you wish to start the life simulation immediately?"

"Yes!" Yang Wu ordered in his heart immediately.

Suddenly, a line of text appeared on the Simulator panel before Yang Wu's eyes.

"The character in the life simulation is created by the Simulator itself. Their memories differ from the host's. Please operate with caution."

"Please select the personality of the simulated character."

"1. Steady; 2. Greedy; 3. Brave."

"How is this different from the options last time? And what is this 'Greedy' about?"

Looking at the three options before him, Yang Wu was a bit dazed. It was one thing for the options to change, but was there any need for 'Greedy' to appear? Surely no one would choose that.

First dismissing the 'Greedy' option, Yang Wu began to hesitate between Steady and Brave.

Logically, Yang Wu wanted to choose Steady. This steady personality should be similar to the cautious one from the last simulation.

However, in the last simulation, the cautious Yang Wu did not choose to head to the Wilderness Area. Now, Yang Wu wanted to improve his combat experience as much as possible, so he naturally could not choose that option.

After thinking it over repeatedly, Yang Wu finally chose the Brave personality.

Next, a large amount of text began to emerge on the Simulator panel.

[24 years old: You passed the Quasi-Martial Artist actual combat assessment and became a true Martial Artist. During the assessment, you displayed your Primary War General Level physical fitness. After confirming you had not used any treasures to enhance your physique, you were recruited by the two major martial arts halls, the HR Alliance, and the Huaxia Military. After careful consideration, you chose the Huaxia Military, the most powerful force within the country, and became a member of a special military squad with the rank of Major.]

[After joining the military, you followed your special squad in and out of the Wilderness Area many times to execute special missions, and your combat experience improved rapidly.]

[25 years old: Having become an Intermediate War General, you encountered a life-or-death crisis in the Wilderness Area. Your spear technique reached the Specialist Level, and you successfully escaped the disaster. At the same time, because your good friend Luo Feng suddenly became an Inspector for the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Jiangnan Base City, after learning of the relationship between you and Luo Feng, your superiors sent you to the Southeast Military Region to become the captain of Luo Feng's personal guard.]

[With Luo Feng's help, your strength improved rapidly.]

[26 years old: Your physical fitness reached the Advanced War General Level, and your movement techniques also saw great progress. However, after your good friend Luo Feng entered an Ancient Civilization Ruins, he was suspected to have fallen. Subsequently, you were transferred by your superiors to become the captain of a special martial artist squad.]

[After the Extreme Martial Arts Hall announced the news of Luo Feng's death, Luo Feng's family was retaliated against by an Advanced War God, the 'Vulture' Li Yao. Luo Feng's younger brother, Luo Hua, sought your help, so you asked your friends in the military to help look after them.]

[You suddenly received a special mission requiring you to go to the Wilderness Area. While leading your special martial artist squad to execute the mission, you encountered an ambush by a mysterious War God wrapped in a pitch-black combat suit. To cover your teammates' escape, you were killed by a single blade strike.]

Dead again?

After reading this, Yang Wu began to doubt whether he should befriend Luo Feng.

He had clearly intended to cling to a powerful figure, but not only did he fail to do so, he even ended up being killed because of it.

There was no need to think; the War God in the pitch-black combat suit who appeared at the end of the simulation was definitely the 'Vulture' Li Yao wearing the Black God Set.

Yang Wu truly hadn't expected to die even faster in this simulation than the last!

However, there were some gains; not only did his physical fitness reach the Advanced War General Level, but his spear technique and movement techniques had also made significant progress. Especially his spear technique, which had even reached the Specialist Level.

"Battles between life and death are indeed the easiest way to break through!"

Watching himself in the Simulator reach the Specialist Level in spear technique under a life-or-death crisis, Yang Wu sighed.

[Simulation ended. You may choose one of the following rewards.]

[1. Martial arts cultivation at age 26.]

[2. Martial arts insights at age 26.]

[3. Life experiences from the simulation.]

"I choose two!"

Although the Advanced War General Level physical fitness was very tempting, Yang Wu definitely wouldn't choose it.

Yang Wu was currently like a young child holding a weapon; even if he possessed the physical fitness of an Advanced War General, it would just mean the weapon in his hand was sharper. If he couldn't master that power, he wouldn't be able to exert much of his strength.

The moment Yang Wu made his choice, countless combat experiences and techniques instantly flooded his mind.

All the various spear techniques and movement techniques he had practiced in the past were now fully integrated and had reached an incredible height.

"It's a pity that my movement technique is still a bit short of reaching the Micro-Level, and I didn't learn any force-exertion techniques in the Simulator either!"

Feeling the various martial arts insights he had received, Yang Wu felt a slight regret.

In the countless combat memories, Yang Wu had purchased an A-Grade Secret Manual in the Simulator to practice force-exertion techniques, but he hadn't succeeded.

"However, even if I had learned force-exertion techniques, I wouldn't be able to display them right now."

Martial artists place great importance on the ownership of secret manuals.

If Yang Wu were to display techniques from a manual in reality without having purchased it, he would be captured by the major powers once discovered, as it would involve private plagiarism, the spread of secret manuals, and infringement on the original author's ownership.

"After I sign a contract with the martial arts hall, I must purchase a powerful secret manual so that I can practice it during simulations," Yang Wu thought to himself.
