"Brother Xu, you're killing monsters again!"

"Yeah, Niu, how have you been lately?"

"Hey, I'm still the same as always. I'll go wherever there's work."

Return to Qingniu Town.

The loud and long sound tore through the dark red sunset glow.

This sunset is not beautiful.

The sky was gloomy, as if a ghost town was spreading. The residual heat of the sun could not penetrate the layers of darkness, and in the end only a vague red could be seen.

On the way home, Xu Xi received warm greetings from many people.

Even some elderly ladies use Xu Xi as a topic for conversation.

"Ah Xi is a good kid in every way. He can make money and is good at martial arts. But he is too honest and easily suffers losses. He needs to find a hardworking wife."

"Hey, it seems that the butcher Wang's family in the next town has a daughter, how about matching her up with Ah Xi?"

"You are getting old and confused! The town next door is long gone!"

"Oh, yes, I forgot that the town next door was eaten by a monster last year."

A warrior's physical fitness is reflected in all aspects.

Including hearing.

Xu Xi was getting farther and farther away, but he could hear every word of the discussion behind him.

Difficult? Not really.

Embarrassing? Not at all.

Listening to the conversations of the elderly, perhaps I felt more sad.

He paused and looked up at the sky.

Xu Xi's eyes were fixed on the scene. The dome had lost even the last bit of its red color and had completely turned into thick ink, which rendered a depressing picture in varying shades.

It was the suffocating pressure of life and death, and even more so the numb and helpless struggle.

[Qingniu Town has started to rebuild since the first year of traveling through time]

[But you find that the reconstruction work of Qingniu Town has never ended and is always ongoing.]

[Because in the spring and winter of each year, there will be a large-scale demon wave, and powerful demons will surge out from the Shiwan Mountains and frantically attack marginal human gathering places like Qingniu Town.]

[The heavenly dog ​​swallows the sun, the fox eats sperm, the corpse demon corrupts, and the evil tiger acts as a predator]

[Faced with those powerful and terrifying demons, even warriors with strong Qi and blood would find it difficult to contend with them. Only warriors with innate abilities or above can fight against them.]

[Of course, a small town like Qingniu Town has neither the presence of an innate warrior nor the support of the Daqian Army.]

[So, every year you witness with your own eyes that Qingniu Town cycles through ruins and reconstruction]

[You use your own personal experience to overturn the historical records in books. That is a false statement and a hypocritical whitewash. The establishment and development of Daqian did not make everyone safe.]

[The people of Qingniu Town, and all the towns bordering the Shiwandashan Mountains in Daqian, are in a state of panic.]

"Such a heavy painting style..."

"It looks like she is no longer a little girl."

"Although it still has nothing to do with a good life."

[The danger level of the martial arts world is far beyond your imagination. You must be vigilant and persevere in training your body and blood.]

[Your practice speed has become slower, but you are persistent and are improving a little bit every day]

[Your martial arts skills are very immature, but you persist and become more proficient every day]

[You punch day and night]

【You stand on the stake in winter and summer】

[The torrent of sweat bears witness to your efforts, and the strong muscles explain your will. Both your body and your realm are growing unremittingly.]

[In the fifth year of the simulation, you are 20 years old, Qingniu Town is hit by another wave of demons, and you survive]

[Simulation year 6, you are 21 years old, there seem to be fewer acquaintances in Qingniu Town, but you are still alive]

[Simulation Year 7, you are 22 years old, you have become a famous warrior in the area, even if you don't deliberately collect them, someone will take the initiative to send you gold and silver herbs, but you are still stuck in the Yi Sui realm, it seems that you are missing something]

Spring goes and autumn comes, flowers bloom and fall.

It has been more than six years since the Xu system was simulated.

Now is the seventh year.

The progress of his martial arts realm has not been smooth. Xu Xi has been stuck in the Yi Sui realm for three years, but he has a calm mind and feels that the Xue Chang realm is just around the corner.

If he could break through that bottleneck, Xu Xi would be able to break through to the level of an innate warrior in a shorter time.

"There is no life limit in this simulation, and Qi and Blood Martial Arts is good at prolonging life. No rush, no rush. There is plenty of time for me to persevere."

Another actual combat is back.

Xu Xi walked on the street, feeling the energy and blood flowing in his body while thinking about his subsequent practice.

"A warrior should be brave and diligent."

"Maybe I should really go the reckless route this time and beat up everyone, heaven and earth?"

Xu Xi hesitated for a moment and quickened his pace to go home.

He was going to practice more, both to trigger the persistence term and to examine himself to find the reason why he couldn't break through the blood exchange state.

“Crunch—”

Push open the heavy reddish-brown wooden door.

Xu Xi entered the home of Qingniu Town.

There is a path paved with square stone bricks at your feet, and on both sides are houses with walls made of blue bricks. Willow trees hang around, casting a patch of shadows that sway in the wind.

There are no so-called antique paintings and calligraphy, nor are there exquisitely carved beams and painted buildings.

The Xu family’s residences are extremely simple.

Everything is done for the purpose of spiritual practice, freeing up as much space as possible so that when Xu Xi is at home, he can also hone his martial arts and improve his qi and blood.

Going around the blue steel training stone that was two people high, Xu Xi went straight to the inner room, ready to empty his mind and practice Qi and blood martial arts.

Yes.

That's how it should be.

"Um?"

Seems to have seen something strange.

A brief look of doubt flashed across Xu Xi's face, and then he fell silent.

He closed the door silently, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and opened the door to the inner room again.

It's not an illusion.

Didn't disappear.

The girl, covered in blood and looking seriously injured, fainted quietly in Xu's room.

"Fell from the sky?" Xu Xi raised his head slightly and saw a huge hole in the roof. Broken tiles were swaying in the wind, and broken beams were dropping wood chips. The sky outside was clearly visible.

Xu Xi's judgment was correct. This time it was definitely not a little girl raising a simulator.

Because the girl who fell into his house was already a grown-up girl.

I guess he's about sixteen or seventeen.

"Is he a warrior from a nearby village?"

"No, this outfit doesn't look like what an ordinary person would wear. It looks more like something from a county in the heart of Daqian. It must be rich or noble."

"Were you attacked by a demon and seriously injured?"

"Or were we attacked or ambushed?"

A red and white dress robe, with an exquisite and sturdy light armor on the outside.

Pretty, but not weak.

Delicate, but not fragile.

The fiery red figure was not simply stained red by blood, but the clothes he was wearing were filled with heroic spirit like a raging fire.

Coupled with the long gun that rolled beside him, his identity was further highlighted.

Gilded and sharp.

Grip black light.

"It's interesting. It's actually a blood exchange stage. Things are starting to get interesting."
