"It's finally over," Yun Shou said with emotion. Although he wasn't the main character in the second half, this was indeed the simulation he had lived the longest.

Because of his impulsive gamble, he chose to follow the protagonist's group. As a result, he not only avoided the later annihilation of the Demon Alliance by the demon army, but also stayed in the rear instead of on the front lines, living a peaceful life until his death.

Please select the following reward inheritance options.

1. Detailed memories of 119 years.

2. The martial arts master's progress in martial arts, martial arts skills, and related memories.

3. Increase the foundation by 119%.

Without hesitation, choose option 3.

[Base increase 127% → 246%]

The foundation has doubled!

This is not simply a matter of reaching genius-level martial arts aptitude; rather, it is an elevation of one's very life essence!

Yun Shou's martial arts cultivation remained unchanged, and his progress in improving his internal organs was still only 30%. However, his physical strength, power, physical rigidity, and energy quality all underwent a leap forward!

"This strength definitely surpasses that of Gang Leader Xu Ruohai!"

Feeling himself getting carried away, Yun Shou quickly reminded himself: "Don't get carried away, don't get carried away. At 14, I am a first-rate prodigy, but there is also a 15-year-old grandmaster and a 20-year-old great grandmaster."

He invoked the name of the unborn "Child of Destiny" to admonish himself.

"Right now, I can only fight that hot-blooded guy from the Qinghe Gang. There are three martial arts schools in the city, with at least three martial arts masters!"

He has no other flaws, except that he's a coward.

It doesn't have any other advantages, it's just stable.

"Get out of the boat."

He went out on the boat with a playful attitude.

Now, he can steadily dominate Xu Ruohai, forcing the latter to bow his head and admit defeat.

But if you step on his face... you might as well kill him!

Those who operate in the underworld, the leaders of gangs, value their reputation more than their lives!

If Xu Ruohai gets angry and attacks, it would be bad if he hurts Yun Shou.

"I let my simulator self handle the exciting stuff; in real life, I only play one-sided matches."

If a martial arts master or even a grandmaster were to step on his face, Xu Ruohai might even smile and adjust the angle of his face to make it more comfortable for the master to step on him!

"I'm getting more and more excited for tomorrow's simulation. After only four rounds, I've already become a first-rate martial artist with the potential to become a grandmaster at such a young age. If I had forty rounds..."

Yun Shou began to imagine: "Could he easily defeat the alien demons, and even fight Zhu Baowen?"

The fact that Bei Chenguang was able to fight against the alien demons while wearing demonic armor suggests that the alien demons' strength was only about one realm higher than that of a Grandmaster.

In a battle between martial artists, even the slightest difference can be the key to victory or defeat.

Grandmasters might be able to deal enough damage to harm the demons, but they are too fragile. The later a martial artist progresses, the more important their internal energy becomes...

"The thing about forging weapons with demonic blood in the simulation is really absurd." This is also something Yun Shou can't understand: if the blood of a demon can forge divine weapons, then why doesn't it use its own blood...?

"That's true. Some novels set up the idea that human blood can be used to refine pills, but how many people would actually use their own blood to do that? Moreover, the idea that demonic blood can be used to forge weapons seems to have no limits, but the limit might just be that otherworldly demon."

"According to the simulator's description, all the demonic blood originates from that alien demon, so even the lowest-ranking demonized soldier has an extremely high level of demonic blood in his body."

The lake ripples, and Yunshou floats on its surface in a boat.

Seeing that the lake was not too turbulent, he took off his cloth shoes, rolled up his trousers, held onto the edge of the boat, and slowly stepped into the water.

The azure energy emanating from the small-scale transformation of the Heavenly River rippled across the water at a certain frequency under Yun Shou's feet. He released his grip and found himself standing in the middle of the lake.

The lake water only reached three inches above his ankles. He stood in the middle of the water, and with the rippling waves, his whole body swayed gently.

"Walking on water?"

Yun Shou shook his head: "No, it's still a bit lacking. My calves are submerged quite a bit. I haven't reached the level where I can cross the river without getting wet."

Another reason is that he was simply standing still. If he were to run, the impact of treading water would allow him to use the water's surface to propel himself forward, submerging only half of his feet.

"Hmm?" Just as he returned to the boat, Yun Shou suddenly sensed something, his gaze shifting as he looked at the water not far away.

The lake surface began to ripple strangely, forming a circular area resembling an underwater whirlpool. Every now and then, fish would emerge halfway out of the whirlpool before diving back in.

—That's not a real vortex, it just looks like one.

Yun Shou became interested. He leaped into the water in a few steps to see what had happened... This was impossible.

What if there's danger underwater? He had already dispelled his Water Dragon Skill several times before the simulation, so he wasn't good at swimming (he could swim, but couldn't fight underwater), so of course he had to row over to check.

Top-tier martial artists can hold their breath for tens of minutes, but that's a static breath-holding without engaging in any strenuous activity.

Being able to hold one's breath does not equate to being able to pass through water.

As the boat moved closer, the flowing water broke the sunlight reflected off the mirror-like surface, allowing Yun Shou to glimpse the underwater wonders.

Fish and dragon dance!

Thousands of fish gathered together, forming a living underwater fish tornado!

This is a spiny-finned fish. Adults are about 1.5 feet long, with a dark green and translucent color. The fins have three prominent spines that are distributed like the feet of a duck.

This type of fish has little meat and thick bones that make up a significant portion of its body weight. Fishermen are not particularly fond of it because, relatively speaking, spiny-finned fish are more aggressive than ordinary fish, struggle more fiercely, and fetch less money.

"Fish and dragon dance... Has a fish king been born?" Yun Shou became interested. A fish king is different from ordinary fish.
