[An entire city wiped out overnight?]
[This sounds like a joke. Even if several supreme grandmasters joined forces, they probably couldn't accomplish something like this, right?]
Most people didn't believe it at all, even thinking it was a joke, or, in the most extreme case, that some kind of terrible plague was spreading, with poisonous gas... But if that were the case, how could passing merchants spread the news?
On April 11th, Ge Yuancheng was massacred, and the bones of over 80,000 people piled up into a mountain of white bones.
The world is gripped by fear, and an ominous melody rises in your heart.
[How the hell did the martial arts world turn into a terrifying apocalypse? A city is being destroyed in just a few days. Has some ancient demon been unleashed?]
[You recall encountering a five-meter-long tiger king, and Zhu Baowen who could slap thousands... Holy crap! Has that old man gone mad?]
You were completely stunned. Even now, Zhu Baowen's strength was still like a fairy tale, unattainable and unimaginable to you.
He was like a numerical monster that had run off from a high-level map, like a Golden Immortal descending to the mortal realm, swaggering around in front of a group of Nascent Soul and Void Returning cultivators.
On May 18th, a survivor finally spotted a figure... to be precise, a creature that was not humanoid, with two horns on its head. It was slaughtering indiscriminately in Baichuan City, like a pale red shadow flickering, each flicker representing the annihilation of life in an area...
[On June 8th, for two consecutive months, nine cities and three sects were completely slaughtered by this unknown inhuman being. You have heard that the reclusive grandmasters of the surrounding Wu Kingdom, Qing Kingdom, and Ning Kingdom have all emerged from seclusion to gather together and annihilate that evil demon.]
On June 14th, before the Grandmasters had even assembled, you saw a figure over three meters tall appear before you.
It was completely naked, without skin, its exposed muscles a dark reddish-black, as if steel had been fused into its flesh; its overall appearance was slender yet incredibly powerful.
[It has hands and feet, almost like a human, but its hands and feet have no fingers or toes; instead, they grow three-inch-long, jet-black claws.]
Its head was nearly human-sized, but two dark, twisted, spiraling horns, each over a foot long, grew from its temples.
[In fact, the moment you first saw it, the familiar faces in the martial arts school had already been sliced into hundreds of pieces by an attack that was beyond sight.]
What you see is merely fragments still in mid-air, barely piecing together a human shape before they fall. You can vaguely make out the broken silhouettes of Fang Mingyue and Bai Liguang, as well as that demonic entity that had just launched an attack and paused slightly.
[It was precisely because it paused after attacking that you were able to see its exact appearance and completely imprint the image of that demonic shadow in your eyes...]
["A demon?" The thought flashed through your mind, then the figure vanished from your sight again, and in that instant, you felt infinitely lighter... You were dead.]
Yun Shou: "..."
He felt a headache, unsure whether it was from staying up all night or something else.
"Damn, I thought I was going to live to be a hundred, and I found an organization and a peaceful place to practice martial arts. Where did that demon come from?"
"According to the description in the simulator, the art style of that thing is completely unlike that of the martial arts world. Could it be that some mysterious old demon accidentally practiced demonic arts and turned himself into a deformed person?"
"Well, since things have come to this, let's choose the reward first."
Please select the following reward inheritance options.
1. Detailed memories of thirty-four years.
2. The martial arts progress of a first-rate martial artist, including their martial arts skills and related memories.
3. Increase the foundation by 34%.
"From the very beginning of this simulation, my thought was to choose the foundation, since it represents the basis of everything, such as the speed of martial arts training..."
"But I changed my mind." Yun Shou snapped to select option 2.
Advanced martial arts + Hunyuan Gong + a first-class martial artist, and even the fierce tiger king that enhances the foundation, isn't this much stronger than a 34% increase in foundation?
For him to advance from his current status as a second-rate novice to a first-rate martial artist, his strength would increase by more than double!
After making his choice, Yun Shou closed his eyes and slowly waited for his martial arts realm to advance by leaps and bounds.
He felt his blood surge and be refreshed, and his muscles slowly contracted and solidified into one.
Replace the blood and clotted flesh!
Then, his blood and qi surged even more, his breath became longer, and the essence of life slowly improved—this was a gift from the Tiger King!
Although the base percentage has clearly dropped to 128%, it feels comparable to the original 132% or higher (although his highest percentage was only 130%).
Then, his inner strength surged forth!
A burst of azure energy erupted, and Yun Shou casually swung his hand, smashing a fist-sized hole in the wooden door in front of him: "This is the house I've lived in for two years... Never mind, you can retire soon."
The warmth in his internal organs slowly dissipated, and Yun Shou stretched out his limbs, his whole body crackling with popping sounds.
"I, Yun Shou, am a first-rate martial artist!"
The leader of the Qinghe Gang is only at this level. Yun Shou's peak performance in today's simulation could definitely beat Xu Ruohai to a pulp.
But as for him now... I guess there's a bit of a difference, maybe about the same, not much weaker.
The main reason is his physique. He is a fourteen-year-old boy. Even though the foundation of his malnutrition has been restored, he still has the physique of a teenager and his weight is less than half that of Xu Ruohai.
Yun Shou suppressed the arrogance that came with his great increase in strength and silently warned himself.
