Meanwhile, Eternal Peak.
"Simulation battle trial?" Tian Yongheng couldn't help but confirm once again.
Information about the simulation battle trial quickly appeared in front of him.
[Simulation Battle Trial: A Battle Trial system function which only the host can use. The host can simulate a virtual battle with anyone in his Friends' and Enemies' list, and adjust their numbers or strength according to his preferences. But the strength in the trial cannot exceed the opponent's original strength. The virtual battle will not affect reality in any way.]
This is...Amazing!
System is still the best!
Right now, even though his cultivation was enough to suppress individuals multiple minor realms above him, he still had no combat experience whatsoever. At most, he could use his cultivation base and techniques to fight against people 3 or 4 minor realms higher than him. But his exact limit and combat strength was still unknown to him.
The Simulation Battle Trial was the perfect function he needed to evaluate his combat strength and increase it.
Without further ado, he immediately entered the simulation and searched through his relationships to find someone to test this function.
Yan Jingfei...Cui Ming...no, even without the simulation trial, I can say for sure that I'm far stronger than them.
As he scanned, his eyes suddenly landed on a profile picture.
[Gao Fusheng: Ninth Stage of Acquired Realm.
He's the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Spirit Pavillion and also the son of a personal disciple from the Spirit Sword Sect. Unless he encounters a great opportunity, he has no hopes of attaining the Innate Realm in this lifetime. He was mesmerized by your young and peerless appearance in the Sword Seeking Sect's banquet and thinks very highly of you, despite not having met you formally yet.]
[Favorability: 1-Stars]
Yep, not only Gao Fusheng, but many other people present at the banquet that day had developed favorability towards him just by seeing him once. All of them thought very highly of him because his appearance was very young, meaning that he had entered the Foundation Establishment Realm at least before the age of 200.
At least, that was what they told themselves, but the main reason they developed favorability was because he was simply too good looking.
Putting all distracting thoughts aside, he immediately entered the trial with Gao Fusheng as his opponent. Though he adjusted and lowered Gao Fusheng's cultivation base to the Sixth Stage of Acquired Realm first.
...
1 hour later.
Tian Yongheng finally came out after winning the virtual battle against Gao Fusheng.
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed across his mind.
I actually took more than 1 hour against that old fellow even when I went all out...
If things are like this, then I'll really die if I encounter a enemy at the Innate Realm!
A look of determination flashed across his eyes as he went back to his meditation posture and started to stabilize his cultivation base.
...
3 weeks later.
After stabilizing his cultivation base, Tian Yongheng immediately started to comprehend and cultivate his techniques and divine power to his current level.
It took him more than a year to cultivate them.
He immediately entered the simulation once again.
Inside the simulation, both Tian Yongheng and Gao Fusheng started fighting the moment their eyes met. Unlike in reality, Gao Fusheng in the simulation was not a sentient being and thus, there was no need for words.
Last time when he fought against him, Tian Yongheng didn't use any of his Dharma Artifacts. But this time, he took out all his Dharma Artifacts and bombarded Gao Fusheng!
Not to mention the 13 celestial sword qi which kept on attacking him. The 108 Celestial Sword Art had improved after Tian Yongheng cultivated it in the last year.
*Whoosh!*
At this moment, Gao Fusheng took out a tri-color lotus and it began to rapidly spin on his palm.
The lotus instantly started to grow and reached a size of more than 3 meters in a matter of seconds and went above Gao Fusheng, subsequently forming a invisible barrier of spiritual energy around him, the barrier overlapping with his own protective spiritual energy surrounding him.
However, before he even had a chance to attack, Tian Yongheng's Primal Dao Sword had already slashed out a 20 meter long sword qi, partially shattering the tricolor lotus which seemed to be a Rank-3 Dharma Artifact.
*Boom!*
Continuous deafening sounds were heard one after another, and before long, the tricolor lotus above Gao Fusheng was completely shattered.
Immediately afterwards, just as his protective spiritual energy barrier was about to be destroyed, he took out yet another Rank-3 Dharma Artifact. It was a golden bell which grew to more than 5 meters in size almost instantly the moment it was taken out.
He suddenly flew above Tian Yongheng and attacked with the bell, wanting to suppress him inside of it. However, the next moment, Tian Yongheng struck out a palm made up of pure spiritual energy. The palm was more than 5 meters big and seemed to be absorbing everything between heaven and earth to enhance itself.
The Heavenly Rage Palm!
The golden bell immediately shattered into pieces the moment it came in contact with the palm. Not just that, even the protective spiritual energy barrier surrounding Gao Fusheng was destroyed, blowing Gao Fusheng more than 3 miles away.
The next moment, 13 celestial sword qi flew from afar and pierced through his body.
The simulation ended in less than 5 minutes.
Tian Yongheng heaved a sigh of relief after coming out of the simulation. Had he not used any Dharma Artifacts in this virtual battle, it would've taken more than 15 minutes for him to win by just relying on techniques and cultivation base.
The simulation battle trial was truly an exceptional experience for him. It showed him how strong he really was, without debuffing his opponents.
For the next few days, he stayed inside the simulation all the time, searching for different ways to win in less than a minute. As he got stronger, he also adjusted Gao Fusheng's strength to its original Ninth Stage of Acquired Realm.
Sometimes when he got a sudden surge in confidence, he also took on and fought against hundreds of Gao Fusheng, but was quickly beaten down.
After spending more than 5 days in the simulation, he finally managed to win against 10 Gao Fusheng with their original cultivation base in less than 30 minutes.
He felt really proud after that for a period of time, and why wouldn't he?
It was a massive improvement in combat strength!
He believed that by the time he reached the Third or Fourth Stage of Acquired Realm, he will be able to kill even Innate Realm experts!
In a good mood, he decided to take a stroll outside of his cave abode.
...
Central Continent.
At the manor of the Shen Immortal Family's main lineage, Wang Daoyun sat on a chair which exuded great spirit qi. One could tell at a glance that it was made of exquisite materials. Not just the chair, the entire manor was like this.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a green robe appeared before him. He had a friendly look on his face as he cupped his fists.
"Junior Yun, although we couldn't catch all those Immortal Ascension Realm demonic rats, we've caught one of them. He's currently imprisoned in the underground prison of my Shen Family and is waiting to be interrogated. We've sealed his spiritual energy and he can't do anything, including kill himself. Shall we go there together to see what evil plans do the demonic cultivators have?" He asked politely.
Despite his polite behavior, he was actually the head of the Shen Immortal Family and at the Grand Completion of the Immortal Ascension Realm.
Wang Daoyun nodded slightly as he stood up, "Sure, senior Shen." He replied, returning the gesture.
Despite being someone who was usually very calm, he couldn't help but feel anger surging up within him. He also wanted to know which demonic cultivator had the guts to act against Mount Kunlun.
