The Reincarnation Simulator's reward was a first-prize lottery ticket.
Although the certainty was not 100%, changing from first prize to second prize was still quite thought-provoking.
"Lin Chao, what are you looking at?"
"A lottery ticket? That's a scam. I heard the grand prizes are all rigged. Buying one is just throwing money away."
"Holy shit? You won... second prize!"
"You've got to treat us! You have to!"
After treating Chen Longxuan and Zhang Yiming to a meal, Lin Chao cashed in the seven hundred thousand from his second-prize ticket.
This could be done online, though quite a bit of tax had to be paid.
Seeing the balance of Great Xia currency on his phone, Lin Chao smiled.
"I can count as someone who has paid taxes and contributed to the country."
He returned to his room.
Lin Chao called his parents.
"Dad, I sent you some money. I won it from the lottery, second prize."
"It really was a second-prize lottery win. I'll send you a screenshot later."
"Dad, you and Mom are getting older. You don't need to work so hard and push yourselves anymore."
"Mom, don't save all this money for me to marry a wife. That's still far off."
After exchanging pleasantries with his parents for a while, Lin Chao hung up.
It was more or less as he had expected.
Even if he sent back several hundred thousand, it would not improve his parents' quality of life by much.
Some parents, influenced by their spending habits and emotions, always wanted to save their money for their children's future.
Of course, some parents were simply unworthy of being parents.
"I should just buy some things for them."
After thinking it over, Lin Chao opened a shopping website.
If he sent money directly, some people of the older generation would be reluctant to spend it.
Buying things did not present that problem.
Looking at the pitch-black night, Lin Chao closed his eyes and thought of many things.
Suddenly, he remembered something and took out the Spirit Pearl.
"Hmm?" Lin Chao felt that the Spirit Pearl seemed to have changed somewhat.
A strange, alien aura was reviving within it.
Lin Chao's gaze grew deep.
"Bronze King..."
It seemed that before long, the so-called Bronze King would descend upon this world.
Of course, perhaps he would not be able to come at all.
After all, over a thousand years, any sort of accident could happen.
What if Bronze King's wife had cuckolded him, then joined hands with her lover to kill him?
Anything was possible.
Meanwhile, at Three Extremes Martial Hall.
Zhao Xiaoyi was practicing the Three Extremes Spirit Fist.
Beside her, Xiao Rou's injuries had mostly healed.
She watched Zhao Xiaoyi, a strange look appearing in her eyes. "Is that the Three Extremes Spirit Fist I taught you? Why does it feel a little different?"
The Three Extremes Spirit Fist Zhao Xiaoyi used differed subtly from Xiao Rou's.
"Is it?" Zhao Xiaoyi answered casually.
They were only minor differences, nothing worth mentioning.
"Sister Xiao Rou, I feel like I've nearly mastered it now. Does that mean I can graduate?"
Zhao Xiaoyi was itching to give it a try.
Recently, while practicing the Three Extremes Spirit Fist, she had experienced a peculiar sensation, as if her body was warm and brimming with strength.
It delighted her somewhat. Could she be a one-in-ten-thousand Martial Arts genius?
Had she managed to practice the Three Extremes Spirit Fist that even the Three Extremes Sect could not master?
Everyone believed themselves to be unique.
From that person's perspective, they truly were the most extraordinary.
When they were born, the world was born.
When they died, the world died.
Xiao Rou smiled. Her burly body made the floor creak as she stepped forward.
"Punch me in the chest." Xiao Rou patted her chest.
Her height and build stood in stark contrast to Zhao Xiaoyi's.
Ordinary Martial Arts competition circles had weight classes.
Traditional Martial Arts circles did not distinguish weight classes.
But in this world, bigger meant stronger, and heavier meant more formidable.
Of course, technique was also of vital importance in traditional Martial Arts.
Whether in physique, physical fitness, or technique, Xiao Rou did not fear Zhao Xiaoyi's punch.
"Then you'd better be careful." Fighting spirit appeared on Zhao Xiaoyi's face.
Naturally, she knew the gap between herself and Xiao Rou.
Three Extremes Spirit Fist!
She instantly unleashed the fist technique and struck Xiao Rou in the chest.
Bang!
Xiao Rou's expression froze for a moment, and her huge body retreated half a step.
She looked at Zhao Xiaoyi. "What was that?"
How was this possible?
Zhao Xiaoyi's strength should not have been able to shake her at all.
Could it be... Zhao Xiaoyi had truly learned the Three Extremes Spirit Fist?
But according to the records, the Three Extremes Spirit Fist should not perform like this.
She was completely baffled.
Beside her, Zhao Xiaoyi also wore a stunned expression. "I didn't even know I was this strong!"
Could it be... that what Xiaoyi had performed was the true Three Extremes Spirit Fist?
Thinking of something, Xiao Rou immediately grabbed Zhao Xiaoyi's shoulders and asked, "Xiaoyi, why is your Three Extremes Spirit Fist different from mine?"
After giving it some thought, Zhao Xiaoyi answered honestly.
"I used the Three Extremes Spirit Fist on Brother Lin Chao once. He punched back too, but since it was his first time learning it, there should have been some flaws.
I thought it felt pretty right, so I followed Brother Lin Chao's method."
"Lin Chao?" Xiao Rou was slightly taken aback.
The Three Extremes Spirit Fist was not some secret.
After all, this technique was only said to be powerful in legend.
Many traditional Martial Arts circles knew how to use this fist technique, so it was no great secret.
Therefore, Xiao Rou had not told Zhao Xiaoyi not to show it to others.
A fist technique was meant to be used, after all.
Hearing that Zhao Xiaoyi had demonstrated the Three Extremes Spirit Fist to Lin Chao, Xiao Rou did not think much of it.
"Him?" Xiao Rou recalled Lin Chao.
For some reason, when she had seen Lin Chao last time, she had felt an inexplicable fondness toward him.
"He's just an ordinary person. Could it have been a coincidence?"
Xiao Rou fell into thought.
"No."
Xiao Rou suddenly recalled something recorded in the ancestral book.
Her expression changed slightly.
She swiftly performed the Three Extremes Spirit Fist.
The ordinary Three Extremes Spirit Fist, rather than the different Three Extremes Spirit Fist Zhao Xiaoyi used.
In an instant, she felt that this performance differed from before.
Previously, if it had been nothing but flowery posturing, it had not even compared to blindly flailing turtle punches.
Now, at least there was a faint pattern to it.
"A sudden change in the world, Demonic Monsters descending upon it?"
Xiao Rou immediately recalled the records in the ancestral book.
That ancestral book had been written by an early founder of the Three Extremes Sect, who was also the creator of the Three Extremes Spirit Fist.
She had once mentioned that when the Three Extremes Spirit Fist once again displayed its former glory, the world would undergo a sudden change and Demonic Monsters would descend upon it.
Xiao Rou was deeply shaken.
She suppressed her surprise. "It probably has nothing to do with your Brother Lin Chao. It's that this technique now... seems like it can be practiced."
Could there truly be a higher realm beyond traditional Martial Arts?
Xiao Rou's heart was a jumble of emotions.
Zhao Xiaoyi looked at Xiao Rou in slight bewilderment, not knowing what to say.
Beside her, Xiao Rou thought of something and asked, "Xiaoyi, are there rumors online that Heize held off ten thousand alone and killed the Wolf Guard?"
Zhao Xiaoyi hurriedly replied, "That has to be nonsense. Even you couldn't do that, Sister Xiao Rou. How could Heize?"
"What if he really can?" Xiao Rou thought of the Three Extremes Spirit Fist and the records in the ancestral book.
If such a Three Extremes Spirit Fist truly existed, then it would not be difficult to understand why Heize was no ordinary person.
Of course, this was only Xiao Rou's wild speculation.
As for what the real outcome would be, they would have to wait and see.
For the first time, Xiao Rou became genuinely and intensely interested in Heize.
