Simulating Endless Possibilities: Invincible Once I Act

[After continuously studying the Unnamed Manual, you gained some new insights into it.]

[If the records are true, this Unnamed Manual can hardly be considered martial arts. It might be more accurate to describe it as Martial Dao or body cultivation.]

[The manual contains only a set of strange movements, said to be used for body cultivation.]

[The rest of it details the divisions of Martial Dao realms and some theoretical knowledge.]

[It explains how to break through limits and continue to increase one's strength.]

[After reading it, you think this might indeed be a good thing.]

[So you take out a stack of silver notes and hand them to Wu Youdao. Before he can refuse, you thank him and leave with the manual.]

[If what the manual says is true, then its appearance couldn't have come at a better time.]

[According to the Unnamed Manual, the beginning of Martial Dao is body tempering, making the body continuously stronger, hence the Body Tempering Realm.]

[Body Tempering is divided into nine layers, each three layers forming a stage, respectively called the Skin Refinement Realm, Flesh Refinement Realm, and Bone Refinement Realm.]

[Each stage has a bottleneck at its limit.]

[To break through the bottleneck and advance further, one needs either special opportunities or certain methods.]

[Without these, just ordinary training can only push a mortal to the third layer of the Body Tempering Realm, the limit of the Skin Refinement Realm.]

[You realize that even the talent of a fitness expert can no longer increase your current strength, which should be the limit of the Skin Refinement Realm as mentioned in the Unnamed Manual.]

[Originally, you had no method and were blindly training, possibly never able to break through.]

[But now you have the Unnamed Manual, and the set of strange movements in it is said to be the orthodox method of Martial Dao cultivation, capable of breaking the limit of the Skin Refinement Realm.]

[In other words, Wu Youdao's Unnamed Manual is like a timely aid in a snowstorm.]

[In the same year, you begin practicing the strange movements described in the Unnamed Manual.]

[However, those seemingly strange movements make you suffer greatly.]

[With your current physical condition, you can barely complete the set once.]

[Afterwards, you are utterly exhausted, lying on the ground like a dead dog.]

[You instantly understand why Wu Youdao said he never practiced it.]

[With such difficulty, ordinary people really can't practice it.]

[You feel that if it weren't for your fitness expert talent, which has made your physical condition several times better than ordinary people, you wouldn't be able to complete the set of movements either.]

[The good news is that after practicing this set of movements a few times, your strength begins to increase again.]

***

In reality, Jiang Yifeng's expression changes as he reads this.

Indeed, the Martial Dao of this world is extraordinary.

The limit that he couldn't surpass in the simulation was easily broken after practicing the Unnamed Manual.

But clearly, not everyone can do this, just as Wu Youdao said he couldn't practice it.

Jiang Yifeng guesses that Wu Youdao couldn't complete the set of movements, so he couldn't use the Unnamed Manual to improve.

Jiang Yifeng becomes more curious about this world.

There is Martial Dao and there are cultivators, so where have these people gone?

Why has he never heard anyone talk about them?

With curiosity in his heart, Jiang Yifeng continues to look at the simulation panel.

***

[You find that your strength increases again, and in the following days, you train even harder.]

[At the same time, you notice that every time you practice the movements from the Unnamed Manual, your appetite increases dramatically.]

[You also become more and more fond of eating meat, feeling like you could eat an entire cow in a day.]

[And as you continue to train, your appetite grows even larger.]

[Fortunately, you are not short of money.]

[But your father, Jiang Fushan, becomes worried about your health when he sees you gorging yourself after each training session.]

[He repeatedly seeks out famous doctors to examine you.]

[You have no choice but to cooperate obediently.]

[Until all the doctors say you are fine, just consuming too much energy from martial arts training, causing your appetite to increase, your father Jiang Fushan finally relaxes.]

[In the tenth year, thanks to your father Jiang Fushan's efforts, the Jiang Clan Firm becomes the top firm in the Great Abyssal Kingdom.]

[In the eleventh year, the Jiang Clan Firm receives a major business deal, and your father travels to the neighboring Liang Kingdom for business.]

[In the twelfth year, you know that the shadowy cultivator who uses palm techniques will come to attack the Jiang Family next year. You think it's time to leave Green Hills City.]

[However, before you can leave, your father Jiang Fushan finds you.]

[He tells you to leave Green Hills City and go on a journey for a while.]

[You realize something is wrong and think that perhaps your father really knows about the Jiang Family's crisis.]

[You quickly ask him why he wants you to leave.]

[But your father Jiang Fushan insists that he just wants you to gain some experience.]

[With no other choice, you eventually leave Green Hills City alone.]

***

In reality, Jiang Yifeng sees this.

He can now be certain that his father knows something.

But he is puzzled as to why this time is different from the first simulation.

In the first simulation, although his father was restless this year, he didn't tell him to leave Green Hills City.

What did he do differently? What changed his father?

Jiang Yifeng compares the first simulation with this one.

He has some guesses in his heart.

He thinks it is highly likely that his martial arts training in this simulation is the reason.

His father might think that as a martial arts expert, he has a better chance of escaping if he leaves early.

Soon, Jiang Yifeng shakes his head, denying his guess.

Normally, if his father knew there was a crisis at home, he would have told him to escape, even if he wasn't a martial arts expert, and perhaps the whole family would have fled together.

The correct explanation should be that his father knows there is danger, but there is also a chance of survival in the danger.

So in the first simulation, he didn't tell him to run away. Running away as a weakling might be more dangerous than staying with the Jiang Family.

After all, from the simulations, leaving Green Hills City led to many encounters with mountain bandits, indicating that the outside world is not safe.

In this simulation, because he has martial arts skills, the risk of being alone outside is low, making staying with the Jiang Family more dangerous.

"Sigh!" Jiang Yifeng sighs.

The key is his father, who is so stubborn.

Why won't he explain the reason?

If he doesn't say, how can he find a way to solve it?

Jiang Yifeng helplessly continues to look at the simulator.

***

[After leaving Green Hills City, you hide in the deep mountains to train hard.]

[In the thirteenth year, your strength increases significantly, but without testing, you don't know the exact progress.]

[In the fourteenth year, your physical strength continues to improve well.]

[In the fifteenth year, your strength increases noticeably slower.]

[In fact, the last bit of improvement is hard to perceive, as if you have reached another bottleneck.]

[You know this is the limit of the sixth layer of the Body Tempering Realm, the peak of the Flesh Refinement Realm.]

[According to the Unnamed Manual, after this, it is best to use a medicine called the Bone Tempering Pill to assist in training.]

[Otherwise, using the slow method might take a long time to break through.]

[Unfortunately, you don't know what the Bone Tempering Pill is or where to get it.]

[This makes you anxious, feeling that relying on this slow training, you don't know when you will reach the strength to match that shadowy figure.]

[So you don't give up and turn to study the "Heavenly Profound Art," hoping to cultivate, but unfortunately, you make no progress and waste a year.]
