Simulating Endless Possibilities: Invincible Once I Act

[Year Sixteen, you suddenly think that perhaps now is the time to find the Heavenly Profound Temple.]

[The place you found before was a ruin, but the first simulation showed a Taoist temple, clearly built later by someone.]

[Based on your guess, there is a cultivation technique in those ruins, definitely belonging to a cultivation sect.]

[Whoever built the Taoist temple on the ruins is very likely a descendant of that sect.]

[You believe that if you can find the person who built the temple, you might be able to figure out whether the cultivation technique is flawed or if you simply lack the talent.]

[So you prepare to set off for the Evergreen Mountain Range.]

[But just as you emerge from your hiding place in the deep mountains, you encounter a shadowy figure.]

[He sees you and sneers, "Jiang Clan remnant, die."]

[Then a palm strike comes at you.]

[You hear the shadowy figure's disdainful laugh, "Hah, a mere Body Tempering Realm martial artist trying to struggle."]

[In an instant, you die; at the age of 36!]

[This simulation ends.]

[You can choose one reward from this simulation: Fitness Expert (Talent), Unnamed Manual (Martial Dao Technique), Heavenly Profound Art (Cultivation Method), Martial Dao Cultivation.]

[Fitness Expert (Talent)] Price: 1000 Energy Value.

[Unnamed Manual (Martial Dao Technique)] Price: 10 million Energy Value; a fragment of a mysterious martial art.

[Heavenly Profound Art (Cultivation Method)] Price: 10 million Energy Value; a fairly good cultivation method.

[Martial Dao Cultivation (Sixth Layer of Body Tempering Realm)] Price: 60,000 Energy Value.

Jiang Yifeng looked at the simulation panel, feeling the urge to curse.

The shadowy figure from the first simulation appeared again, calling him a Jiang Clan remnant.

Clearly, in this simulation, the Jiang Clan still couldn't escape disaster, and his early departure only allowed him to live a few more years.

The shadowy figure hadn't let him go, even deliberately hunting him down.

Jiang Yifeng found it hard to understand and repeatedly recalled the contents displayed by the simulator.

At first, he wondered if the shadowy figure was after wealth.

After all, both the first and third simulations showed that in the tenth year, the Jiang Clan Firm became the number one firm in the Great Abyssal Kingdom.

Moreover, his father, knowing the inside story, didn't let him escape the first time, indicating there was a chance of survival, fitting the scenario of being targeted for wealth.

But now it seemed his guess was wrong.

If it were for wealth, there was no need to deliberately hunt him down when he wasn't home.

There must be another reason, but Jiang Yifeng couldn't figure it out for the moment.

He really wanted to rush over and ask his father.

But based on his father's behavior in the simulator, Jiang Yifeng felt that even if he asked in reality, he wouldn't get an answer.

So he stopped dwelling on it.

The real issue was his lack of strength. Only with greater power could everything be resolved.

All the secrets would naturally be revealed then.

Jiang Yifeng turned his attention to the rewards from this simulation.

This time, the rewards seemed much richer than the previous two simulations.

Judging by the energy value required for exchange, they were all good things.

For a moment, Jiang Yifeng found it hard to choose.

He wanted them all.

First, the Fitness Expert (Talent).

This talent was good; it allowed him to surpass Wu Youdao in a short time of martial arts training.

But it lacked potential and couldn't break through the bottleneck, so he temporarily excluded it.

Second, the Unnamed Manual, valued at 10 million energy value.

Jiang Yifeng didn't think it was overpriced, given its performance in the simulator.

Although the simulator showed that his progress slowed later on.

But that wasn't the manual's fault.

It was just missing the auxiliary Bone Tempering Pill.

Even so, he could still slowly improve using the training moves from the Unnamed Manual.

A very good thing.

The key was that according to the simulator, it was a fragment of a mysterious martial art, clearly of significant origin.

Just a fragment was so strong; if complete, its effect would be extraordinary.

Jiang Yifeng was determined to get this manual.

But he couldn't believe such a thing was in the hands of a martial arts school master.

Maybe Wu Youdao's ancestors were remarkable figures too!

However, he didn't need to exchange for the Unnamed Manual; Wu Youdao's home was in Green Hills City.

He could find a way to get it in reality.

So he excluded this option as well.

Finally, he was left with the Heavenly Profound Art (Cultivation Method) and Martial Dao Cultivation (Sixth Layer of Body Tempering Realm); he had to choose one.

The Heavenly Profound Art was the most expensive of all the rewards.

And the simulator said it was a good cultivation method, clearly a valuable item.

But he couldn't start cultivating yet.

And he had the coordinates of the Heavenly Profound Temple; he could improve his strength first and get it in the next simulation, so he excluded it.

Jiang Yifeng silently made his choice.

"I choose Martial Dao Cultivation (Sixth Layer of Body Tempering Realm)."

[Ding, Martial Dao Cultivation (Sixth Layer of Body Tempering Realm) extracted successfully, 60,000 energy value deducted, remaining energy value:]

As soon as the simulator's electronic voice fell.

Jiang Yifeng felt his blood boiling, his physical fitness constantly improving.

In just a few seconds, Jiang Yifeng clenched his fists, feeling as if he had endless strength.

He walked out of the room and punched a decorative tree in the yard.

In an instant, the tree, as thick as a bowl, fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Jiang Yifeng exclaimed.

"Is this my current strength?"

Although the tree wasn't big, breaking it with a punch without any sharp tools showed how much force he had.

Jiang Yifeng felt a bit elated.

Couldn't he now kill an ordinary person with a single punch?

Just then, a team of black-clad guards walked past the yard.

Seeing the black clothes, Jiang Yifeng thought of the shadowy figure from the simulation, and his excitement instantly cooled.

"I can't get carried away, can't get carried away. With my current strength, I can't even take half a move from the shadowy figure in the simulation, what's there to be excited about."

Jiang Yifeng kept reminding himself to stay calm.

But why did he find those black-clad guards so annoying now?

"Little Peach, go call Uncle Dafu."

Jiang Yifeng shouted to the maid who had just walked out of the room.

Little Peach was the maid serving Jiang Yifeng, living in the adjacent room in his courtyard.

She had naturally heard the sound of Jiang Yifeng breaking the tree and came out to check.

Although she didn't know what had happened, Little Peach went to call Uncle Dafu as instructed.

***

Soon, the maid Little Peach returned with a slightly chubby middle-aged man.

"Young Master, what can this old servant do for you?"

The slightly chubby man bowed and asked Jiang Yifeng.

This man was Uncle Dafu, whom Jiang Yifeng had asked Little Peach to find.

His name was Jiang Dafu, the steward of the Jiang Family Mansion.

"Uncle Dafu, I think the guards' uniforms are old, let's change them. Don't buy black clothes anymore, they're not festive."

Jiang Yifeng said seriously.

He wouldn't admit that he now had a phobia of black clothes and got agitated just seeing them.
