Translated by: Novellise
In the eyes of other students,
Lu Yuan had clearly become a martial arts fanatic.
Practicing punches in the morning.
Practicing punches in the afternoon.
Practicing punches in the evening.
He even practised in his dreams at night.
In the beginning, His movements were clumsy and his techniques were full of mistakes.
But as time passed,
His techniques became smoother and smoother.
Smooth as flowing water, perfect and refined.
Every move seemed to have been honed a thousand times.
Six months later,
One early morning,
In the martial arts training ground, in front of the testing wooden stake,
"Boom!"
Lu Yuan threw a punch.
The power of the punch was mighty and fierce.
It was like a mountain crashing into the sea, with a faint rumbling sound of thunder!
"Crack!"
Before anyone could see Lu Yuan deliver the blow,
The ironwood stake suddenly shattered and exploded into countless pieces.
"Hiss!"
Seeing this scene,
All the trainees felt as if they had been struck by lightning and gasped in disbelief.
Even Lu Yuan's father, who was secretly watching from the side, had a look of utter astonishment on his face.
This ironwood stake was stronger than steel, even a small calibre pistol couldn't penetrate it.
And yet it was reduced to powder by Lu Yuan's punch?
Besides, if they weren't mistaken,
Lu Yuan's technique was the highest level of Wind and Thunder Fist.
The essence of Wind and Thunder Fist!
A two-year-old child who could grasp the essence of martial arts?
What kind of incomparable genius was he?
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it even if they were beaten to death!
[Defying Fate: You understood the Wind and Thunder Fist at the age of two, and your physical fitness has greatly increased!]
[Main progress: 3%!]
[Reward: 2000 simulation points!]
[Heavenly Dao Reward duration increased to two hours!]
Upon hearing the prompt,
A trace of a smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face.
The duration of the Heavenly Dao Rewards had increased once again.
The most important thing was that he had successfully defied fate.
This also meant,
He was one step closer to becoming an official simulator.
Thinking about it, Lu Yuan wished that he could spend all 24 hours of the day practicing punches.
Time flew by.
Six months passed in a flash.
[You practiced the stance ten thousand times, achieving mastery in basic footwork!]
[You practiced steps ten thousand times, greatly increasing your movement speed!]
[You practiced punching a hundred thousand times, increasing your strength to the level of minor internal energy!]
Until one day, Lu Yuan's entire body trembled.
His internal energy surged like a raging flame, almost bursting out of his body. His bones made a series of crackling sounds like firecrackers.
He grew considerably taller, almost to the size of a six or seven year old child.
In addition, a wisp of invisible, intangible, transparent energy appeared in his meridians.
Although this energy was as thin as a hair, it had endless uses.
Not only could it temper his meridians and bones, but it could also greatly increase his strength.
This was what martial artists called internal energy!
"Ssss!"
He closed his five fingers and casually touched the wall.
Hard porcelain tiles and cement crumbled to powder in his hand, like tofu crumbs.
"The feeling of getting stronger is amazing."
Lu Yuan clenched his fist and felt a surge of invincibility.
"Also, the duration of the Heavenly Dao Rewards has increased again."
"Two hours is enough for me to practise Wind and Thunder Fist six times."
"And during the duration of the talent, my body will be at its peak in all aspects."
"In addition, my martial arts talent is superior to most martial artists."
"For every bit of effort, I reap a hundred times the reward."
"In other words, two hours of my martial arts practice is equivalent to two months of hard training for others!"
Lu Yuan was secretly astonished, even he was frightened by this conclusion.
Two years old and already beginning to develop internal energy.
Such a terrifying speed of progress was unprecedented in the entire martial arts world.
Unfortunately,
The higher the level of martial arts, the stronger the condensed internal energy.
And Wind and Thunder Fist was only a mediocre third-tier martial art.
The internal energy it condensed was only as thin as a hair.
"If I could replace Wind and Thunder Fist with advanced martial arts from ancient martial sects, wouldn't I be able to ascend directly?"
Lu Yuan smiled bitterly.
Even though the martial arts in this world were gradually declining,
These advanced martial arts manuals were real.
For example, the Golden Light Mantra of Mount Longhu, the Muscle-Tendon Change Classic and Tathagata Palm of Shaolin, and the Pure Yang Infinite Skill of Wudang.
These advanced martial arts were profound and intricate, condensing the efforts of dozens of generations.
Their power was incomparable to that of Wind Fist and Thunder Fist.
However,
Ancient martial sects had strict rules.
All advanced martial arts were secret and strictly forbidden to be learnt by outsiders.
Lu Yuan could only settle for the next best thing.
With the help of others, he collected a number of low-grade, common martial arts.
Iron Shirt, Eagle Claw Skill, Iron Sand Palm, Break Offspring Kick...
If quality wasn't enough, quantity would have to do.
With the help of [Heavenly Dao Rewards],
Lu Yuan didn't spend much time mastering these low-level martial arts to perfection.
[You practiced Iron Shirt a thousand times, greatly improving your body defence!]
[You practiced Eagle Claw Skill a thousand times, achieving mastery and being able to crush stones with a snap!]
[You have practiced Breaking Offspring Palm a thousand times, achieving mastery and understanding the realm of Mountain Splitting!]
After comprehending several realms,
The internal energy that was originally as thin as a hair has grown to the thickness of an earphone cable!
Moreover, the duration of the [Heavenly Dao Rewards] had increased to four hours!
This made Lu Yuan extremely happy.
He immersed himself in cultivation every day.
As time passed,
Lu Yuan's reputation in the martial arts school grew day by day, surpassing even his father's.
Even the other students were in awe of him.
In this era where martial arts were in decline and technology was advancing,
Many students practised martial arts just to stay healthy.
But they were inspired by Lu Yuan,
Several students, moved by his perseverance, decided to make martial arts their life's work.
The business of the martial arts school also began to improve.
Lu Yuan's father was overjoyed.
He immediately made Lu Yuan the junior head of the martial arts school.
Under Lu Yuan's leadership,
The students' skills improved rapidly, and almost everyone experienced significant changes.
As the seasons changed,
In the blink of an eye,
Lu Yuan turned three.
The martial arts school evaluation also arrived on schedule.
This martial arts school evaluation was the first major event in his simulated life.
It was crucial for the following plot.
Due to injuries in his early years, Lu Yuan's father had failed the assessment twice.
This was the last chance.
It could not be lost!
Thinking about it, Lu Yuan went straight to his father and decided to take the test for him.
When his father heard this, he was stunned.
What kind of joke was this?
This was a martial arts school evaluation.
The result was either success or death!
There were even martial artists with great internal energy taking part.
He knew that his son had extraordinary talent, a martial arts prodigy of the century.
But how could a three-year-old compete with experienced internal energy masters?
"No, absolutely not!"
His father refused.
"Do you know how dangerous the martial arts school rating is?"
"Fists have no eyes, life and death are irrelevant!"
"Every martial artist has to sign a death waiver before going on stage!"
"Besides, only the head or vice head of the school can participate. What does a child have to do with it?"
"Even if I die on stage, there is no way you can participate!"
For the first time, his usually good-natured father lost his temper.
He had limited talent and had achieved little in life, so it didn't matter if he died.
But Lu Yuan was young and had the best talent in the family's history, with the potential to become a grandmaster.
If anything happened to him, he would be the family's sinner forever!
