[In the 291st year of Daqing, your foundation increased by 152%. You will feel an astonishingly strong energy and blood throughout your body. Although you have entered middle age, you do not feel any sense of decline.]
[Your Iron Body Skill has reached perfection.]
In the 292nd year of Daqing, relying on the resources provided by the Chu family, you began to combine your energy and strength, exchange blood and solidify your flesh, and steadily advanced in the second-rate realm.
"Your age is holding you back. Starting martial arts in your twenties is a bit late. Even if your foundation is strong, it only means you have a high ceiling, not that you can improve quickly."
This year, you've been repeating to yourself: If your original body doesn't inherit your martial arts skills, you'll be a complete fool. Hopefully, the simulator will record it.
Yun Shou: "…"
(Martial arts cultivation comes with knowledge related to martial arts.)
In the 294th year of the Daqing reign, the renowned flower thief Song Yulang broke into the Chu family mansion at night and abducted the Chu family's daughter, Chu Xian'er. You are ordered to conduct a city-wide search for him.
You find two people in a small room, and they are very affectionate. This is not flower picking, this is elopement.
[You were discovered by Song Yulang. He is a young talent. His martial arts skills are close to first-rate at a young age. Moreover, his foundation is not much weaker than yours. The two of you are unable to determine the winner for a while.]
After dozens of rounds, Song Yulang gained the upper hand with his exquisite martial arts (Chu Xian'er was still cheering him on). You were gradually suppressed and wounded. Song Yulang increased his offensive, intending to destroy you.
[At the critical moment, your teammates arrived, and Song Yulang had no choice but to escape with Chu Xian'er. But since they had already been discovered, how could he escape the encirclement of a group of warriors with an ordinary woman?]
Chu Xian'er kept insulting you and your teammates throughout the process, but you turned a deaf ear to her. It wasn't her who paid your wages.
Soon, Song Yulang escaped the encirclement with injuries, but left Chu Xian'er behind. Chu Xian'er kept shouting, "I'm going to teach you a lesson."
[But the Chu family's Patriarch praised you highly, saying that Song Yulang is already a talented warrior on the "Young Talents List." Being able to fight him for such a long time already qualifies him as a skilled fighter.]
[Half a month later, Chu Xian'er apologized to you, saying that she was too young and was blinded by Song Yulang's sweet talk.]
You drank her apology tea, and half an hour later you suddenly felt a sharp pain in your abdomen, with black lines crawling all over your veins... You're dead!
Yun Shou: "…"
"???"
"Fuck, Shark Arm Love Brain!"
He didn't blame himself in the simulator, because he didn't expect it either. Who could have expected such poison?
You didn't let her date out of your protective nature and at the order of the head of the aristocratic family, but she poisoned you to death?
Yun Shou was sure that this crazy woman would definitely be punished by the head of the Chu family, but before that, he had already been killed!
[Please select the following rewards to inherit
1. Twenty-five years of detailed memory.
2. The martial arts progress + martial arts skills and related memories of second-rate martial artists.
3. Increase the foundation by 25%.
"I choose 2." Yunshou didn't hesitate.
Even though the guy in the simulator called him a big idiot, but...
"Who asked me to spoil you?"
The chosen moment——
Muscles, qi and blood, physique!
Yunshou's energy and spirit were soaring at a terrifying speed!
His powerful muscles are several times stronger than before. He can now chop wood with one palm and break bricks with one punch without any injury!
The rich energy and blood made him want to roar to the sky. The blood and energy surged in his body like rivers, providing him with endless strength!
The resilient membrane allows him to punch and kick without restraint, without worrying about straining himself or wearing out his joints!
That's not all!
Yunshou took a deep breath, and from his body, which had already surpassed the limits of human beings in his previous life, a strange and extraordinary power burst out.
Internal strength!
It was like a pale white snake, moving according to the mind and weaving through the veins between the limbs and bones.
Yunshou picked up a piece of bluestone from the ground and held it in his palm.
The internal energy surged out like a nimble little snake, and at the same time as he felt a slight soreness in his arm, the internal energy had already merged into the meridians in his palm.
Burst of power!
Snap!
A crisp sound came from the palm of his hand, and a crack appeared on the bluestone.
Yunshou let go of his hand, and the bluestone fell to the ground, breaking into two pieces with a snap.
"With the help of my internal energy, I can already crack fist-sized stones. If this kind of power were applied to the human body, I'm afraid no part of it would be able to withstand a single squeeze from me!"
Moreover, bones are hollow and long, while this bluestone is solid and oval!
"A second-rate warrior, a bone-crushing demon, who kills one person with one punch!" Yun Shou sensed it carefully. Although the Iron Body Skill is a common martial art, it is an orthodox martial art after all, and it trains the body in a comprehensive way.
This martial art has been practiced to perfection by the simulated self, and it also provides a certain amount of additional defense. This defense has nothing to do with the realm of a "second-rate warrior" and is purely a martial arts feature!
In addition to the Dacheng Iron Body Kung Fu, he also learned the "Ba Wang Sword Technique" and practiced it to a certain level.
"I'm considered a minor expert now. Of course, I'm still much weaker than the peak state I was in during the simulation."
Yunshou's current foundation is only 129%, which was originally accompanied by the severe damage to his vitality in his youth. However, the vitality replenished in the simulation seems to have been brought back, so the increase is still 129%, but the basic foundation has increased, which may be equivalent to the previous 132% or 133%.
In the simulation, his foundation was as high as 155%! 26% higher than it is now. This is a significant difference, roughly equivalent to the difference between a single outstanding ordinary person and a single genius selected from dozens.
And there is also the factor of physical strength. In the same situation, when a person is 30 years old, he will definitely be able to beat his 10-year-old self - even though the two people's martial arts levels are set to be exactly the same.
"Ha, that Song Yulang who could fight me evenly for dozens of rounds, if he met me now, I would be dead before he could use three swords, right?" Yun Shou complained.
"Although, that Song Yulang might not be born yet..."
In order to avoid being complacent and arrogance, Yunshou deeply analyzed his various flaws and shortcomings.
I still couldn't suppress the corners of my mouth that were pointing more and more towards the sky.
He steered the boat into the lake and sailed several miles away from the shore.
Only a few black figures could be seen nearby, and people were laughing on the empty lake.
"Second-rate warrior!"
"Ha! What do you mean by second-rate!?"
"I'm just a second-rate expert!"
"The leader of the Qinghe Gang, can he be at the top level?"
"In a few days I will crush him!"
Yunshou was very happy throughout the whole day.
His eyes were bright and shining, a sign of a second-rate warrior with internal strength and kung fu skills.
But he didn't care, because although this was a martial arts memory inherited with option 2, it was a bit too trivial.
During the years he was in the Chu family, no one had ever told or taught him, "You have to pretend to be a passerby, play the pig to eat the tiger, hide the sharpness of your eyes..."
This also led to the unscrupulous shopkeeper looking at him strangely when he handed over the catch in the evening.
"This kid, why is he a little dazzling today? Is it my illusion?"
"Forty cents." When he handed over the copper coins, his hands were rarely clean: he originally wanted to deduct four cents, but this time he only deducted two cents.
