A Difficult Choice

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

"Yes!" Yang Wu ordered in his mind.

Instantly, a line of text appeared on the simulator panel before Yang Wu.

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

"Please select the personality of the simulated character."

"1. Steady; 2. Selfish; 3. Cruel."

Why are the options different from last time? I remember there was only one negative personality, 'Greedy', last time. Now there are two. By the next simulation, won't there be three negative personalities at once? Yang Wu felt a bit worried.

Yes, in Yang Wu's view, both selfish and cruel were negative traits.

Looking at the three options, Yang Wu was unsure what to choose.

Originally, he had intended to choose a personality like 'Brave', but this time the options were quite poor.

Yang Wu quickly dismissed the 'Selfish' and 'Cruel' options, as he truly had no idea what kind of experiences would unfold in the simulator if he chose those.

Thus, only the 'Steady' option remained.

Choosing 'Steady' meant his strength would improve somewhat slowly, but with no other options, he had no choice.

After making up his mind, Yang Wu finally selected the steady personality.

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

[At 24, you joined the Extreme Martial Arts Hall with the strength of a Primary War General Level and became a member of the elite squad—the Phantom Squad. During your first trip to the Wilderness Area, you performed well; your movement technique broke through to the Micro-Level, and you mastered the first stage of the Ultimate Spear Art, World Destroyer.]

[After returning to the base city from the Wilderness Area, you were accidentally discovered by Wu Tong while purchasing the second stage of the World Destroyer manual. Upon learning that you had already mastered the first stage, Wu Tong happily notified the director of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, Zhuge Tao. After assessing your strength and obtaining your consent, Zhuge Tao submitted an application for you to the global Elite Training Camp.]

[In early October, you passed the A-level test of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall and became a member of the Elite Training Camp. With the guidance of War God Level teachers, your spear art, movement technique, and various skills improved rapidly. This year, your ranking on the Black Dragon Ranking List was around 170th.]

[At 25, after a year of hard work, you successfully broke through to an Intermediate War General, and both your movement technique and spear art improved significantly.]

[Your good friend Luo Feng also entered the Elite Training Camp, but his ranking on the Black Dragon Ranking List quickly surpassed yours, and in September, he became an Inspector for the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Jiangnan Base City. However, with the aid of your steady mindset, this did not affect you at all, and you continued to grow in the Elite Training Camp. This year, your ranking on the Black Dragon Ranking List was around 130th.]

[At 26, after another year of cultivation and the assistance of the Gravity Chamber, you successfully broke through to an Advanced War General. Subsequently, in a wagered battle against another student, your spear art reached the Perfect Level.]

[The Extreme Martial Arts Hall suddenly announced the death of your friend Luo Feng, and you were deeply saddened. This year, your name on the Black Dragon Ranking List finally reached double digits, around 90th.]

[At 27, your strength improved very slowly this year. You finally felt the difficulty of breaking through to the War God Level, and your ranking was constantly being surpassed by students behind you.]

[You suddenly felt that you were no longer suited for the training camp. Thus, with the help of your friend Luo Feng, who had returned from the dead and become an Inspector for the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, you became a director for the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Jiangnan Base City.]

[At 28, a terrifying monster suddenly appeared on Earth. Human powerhouses were helpless, and led by this terrifying monster, countless sea monsters began to attack human base cities. As an Advanced War General Level martial artist, you naturally had to help the army defend against the Beast Tide. Under the siege of several high-level beast generals, your movement technique broke through to the Perfect Level, your World Destroyer spear art broke through to the second stage, and your force application reached three times your base power.]

[Humanity finally repelled the Beast Tide and eliminated that terrifying monster. However, many of humanity's powerhouses, including your friend Luo Feng, all perished.]

[At 29, your physical fitness improved very slowly; after more than two years, you still hadn't reached the peak of the Advanced War General Level. At this time, due to the fall of several major powerhouses, the global situation had changed drastically. To cope with the crisis, you spent your entire fortune to purchase a portion of Dragon Blood and became a Primary War God.]

[Your friend Luo Feng suddenly reappeared, and the comatose Hong and Thunder God also woke up. Order on Earth was restored, and you continued to cultivate in seclusion.]

[At 30, you continued to cultivate hard this year. Although your progress in strength was very slow, it was still growing.]

[An extraterrestrial civilization suddenly descended, and countless powerful martial artists appeared on Earth. You had no choice but to flee to a survival base customized by your friend Luo Feng in space to hide.]

[Just as the extraterrestrial civilization was about to ravage the globe, Luo Feng suddenly became the legal lord of Earth. The extraterrestrial fleet had no choice but to leave, and you subsequently returned to your villa from the survival base.]

[Not far from your home, Luo Feng's castle was suddenly subjected to a powerful attack. You were struck by the shockwave of one of the attacks and died instantly.]

Huh, I actually survived the catastrophe caused by the Golden Horned Beast this time?

Extraterrestrial civilization? It was just a family of Universe Level powerhouses!

Seeing that he had lived to the age of 30 in the simulator before being killed by the shockwave of a battle involving a Star Level martial artist from the Nolanshan Family, Yang Wu was somewhat pleased.

However, after the joy came a headache.

Yang Wu truly hadn't expected that without the aid of various treasures, the cultivation speed of Genetic Origin Energy would be so slow.

No wonder there are so few War God Level powerhouses on Earth right now! Yang Wu sighed to himself.

Every base city saw over 2,000 new martial artists each year, and with the five major powers and 23 base cities globally, the number of new martial artists each year was nearly 100,000.

Yet, since the Grand Nirvana began, nearly forty years had passed, and there were only about 3,000 War God Level powerhouses among humanity—less than one-thousandth of the total number of martial artists!

With humanity's ninth-grade bloodline talent, cultivation is indeed incredibly difficult!

But, which one should I choose?

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

[1. Martial cultivation at age 30.]

[2. Martial insights at age 30.]

[3. Life experiences from the simulation.]

Yang Wu first ruled out reward three, but reward one and reward two made it truly difficult for him to choose.

By choosing reward two, Yang Wu could immediately comprehend the Perfect Level spear art and movement technique, while his own force application technique could also break through to three times. He would instantly become a true genius, likely ranking among the best in the Elite Training Camp.

However, through his experience in the simulator, Yang Wu also knew how rare War God Level physical fitness was.

After nearly five years of dedicated cultivation, plus the aid of a portion of Dragon Blood, Yang Wu had only then attained the physical fitness of a Primary War God, which made it very hard for him to give up.

By choosing reward one, Yang Wu could immediately become a rare War God Level powerhouse, and with his current skills, it wouldn't be difficult to gain a firm footing among Primary War Gods; by choosing reward two, Yang Wu could become a true genius, making entry into the Elite Training Camp effortless.

These two choices truly left Yang Wu hesitant!
