88 – Technique Acquired! Generous Rewards!

‘This berserk talent is really impressive!’

Wang Ping’s eyes gleamed as he focused on the description of the Blue Talent, his heart unable to calm down.

Compared to the effects of Green Talent, this Blue Talent was visibly more powerful.

Entering a berserk state doubles one’s strength and even grants immunity to control effects, simply invincible.

This reminded Wang Ping of the ultimate skill of the hero Olaf…

Uh, I just feel the Life Simulator might have borrowed some ideas…

‘Although the mystic arts executed by someone whose cultivation is far beyond my own cannot be completely resisted, it will definitely have some effect. And for those whose cultivation levels aren’t much higher than mine, I’d be completely immune to control effects. With this Blue Talent, perhaps I could really have a shot at contending for that Heaven-level Technique.’

Wang Ping thought quietly to himself, without hesitation, he chose this Blue Talent, eagerly anticipating the upcoming simulation.

‘Speaking of which, could this talent make me immune to Jiang Huai’s possession? That should count as a negative status too.’

At this moment, Wang Ping’s heart fluttered as he thought of Jiang Huai’s possession issue.

If this could resist Jiang Huai’s possession, he could maximize the value extracted from Jiang Huai without missing out on opportunities due to concerns over collateral damage.

‘Perhaps it’s best not to test it this time, lest I waste both the talent and the technique. After all, talents don’t always appear in the rewards, and I can’t afford to waste the mid-grade spirit stones in my hand.’

Wang Ping sighed inwardly, thinking silently.

As Wang Ping mulled over these thoughts, the System’s voice chimed again: ‘Ding, Talent selection successful. Life Simulation begins.’

Instantly, the familiar screen appeared, and text began to emerge.

【Day 1, you chose to refuse Ye Chen’s request to become his apprentice.】

【Three years later, after obtaining the Sunset Sword Technique from Jiang Huai, you headed to the Seven Star Archipelago. Once there, you killed Jiang Huai.】

【Subsequently, you joined the Seven Star Palace.】

【Twenty years later, the Seventh Star Secret Realm opened, and you entered it. This time, your teleportation location was again different, and although no mid-grade Spirit Sword appeared, you didn’t mind.】

【You roamed the Secret Realm and encountered the Blazing Fire Daoist who had acquired a Sixth-Grade Fire-type Spiritual Item. You engaged in a fierce battle with him and severely wounded him using Ancient Jade and the Scarlet Clan’s Essence Blood.】

【The Blazing Fire Daoist’s dying counterattack was terrifying, putting you on the brink of demise. But you activated the Blue Talent: Berserker, drastically increasing your strength, and successfully killed the Blazing Fire Daoist, saving a Rebirth Talisman in the process.】

【After killing the Blazing Fire Daoist, you marveled at the power of the berserk state. After handling the scene, you quickly left.】

【Purposefully seeking out powerful traces, you were attracted by the commotion from an intense battle and witnessed the struggle for the Heaven-level Technique.】

At this point, Wang Ping grew tense.

Simultaneously, Wang Ping thought of another issue.

If he chose rewards that increased his cultivation, boosting his strength, then in future simulations, his chances of seizing it seemed better.

Perhaps, this time, the life simulation should focus on observing and increasing his strength.

Once this life simulation ended, he’d become strong enough. If he could reach the peak of the Spirit Embryo Realm and add the berserk state, he might have a chance to unexpectedly snatch it.

If he attempted now, he’d most likely meet his end.

Currently, his cultivation was only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. Even if he activated the berserk state, there was no way he could match a Spirit Embryo Realm expert. Even if he could contend with an early Spirit Embryo Realm expert in the short term, he’d still be stretching his limits.

With this level of power, it would be challenging to even touch the opponent.

Of course, if he continued to bide his time and train, developing further, choosing to improve his cultivation, then the spirit stones required for simulations would increase.

Thus, after this simulation, the remaining thousand or so mid-grade spirit stones wouldn’t be enough to simulate a second time.

That would be troublesome.
Although he could also earn something by going to the Seven Star Archipelago, Wang Ping wanted too many things, requiring many simulations, which felt somewhat unprofitable.

While Wang Ping was thinking, the text continued to appear.

【You wanted to act, but ultimately didn’t. Instead, you chose a more cautious method. You secretly suggested that such a fight had risks of falling, which wasn’t worth it. Thus, it would be wiser to share the technique with everyone, giving everyone a chance to cultivate.】

【Maybe because you arrived first, this rogue cultivator hadn’t faced a true dead end yet and wasn’t at the point of no return. He genuinely hesitated.】

【Seeing this, the other experts were also moved, thinking this proposal was good. After all, the technique was on the rogue cultivator, and although they could certainly kill him with their numbers, as a Spirit Nurturing Realm expert, he couldn’t be killed instantly. If pushed too hard, he had the ability to take down some of them. Plus, if he was truly cornered, he might destroy the Heaven-level Technique, leaving everyone with nothing.】

【In the end, the experts present began to persuade the rogue cultivator to share the Heaven-level Technique. You felt there was hope and were excited. If the Seven Star Palace obtained the Heaven-level Technique, you, as one of Qin Lan’s disciples and one of the three vice lords, would naturally qualify to cultivate it.】

【After some thought, the rogue cultivator sneered and handed part of the technique to the experts of the Seven Star Palace and Blazing Fire Sect, stating that forces outside these two didn’t qualify to cultivate it. If forced, he would self-destruct and destroy the technique. This angered many experts. The Spirit Nurturing Realm experts of the Seven Star Palace and Blazing Fire Sect stood by the rogue cultivator’s side.】

【This made the rest of the experts extremely furious, and the battle erupted again. For the sake of the technique, they disregarded the might of the Seven Star Palace and Blazing Fire Sect. However, this time the battle was more balanced. Watching this scene, you were dumbfounded, marvelling at how cunning the rogue cultivator was.】

【As the battle escalated, the battlefield became bloodier, and experts began to fall. You could only watch, unable to intervene, feeling distressed.】

【Not long after, a new change occurred in the war. The old ancestor of the Seven Star Palace, Nangong Yun, arrived and chose the right moment to make a sneak attack on the rogue Spirit Nurturing Realm cultivator, cutting off his arm and seizing the Heaven-level Technique, then killing him on the spot.】

【With the intervention of the old ancestor Nangong Yun, all the experts present trembled in fear. He brutally slaughtered all the experts present.】

【The immense strength of the old ancestor Nangong Yun made you yearn to be like him. Meanwhile, you were also excited. With him obtaining the Heaven-level Technique, you had the chance to cultivate it. This was beyond your expectations. You didn’t think things would turn out this way.】

【After the Seventh Star Secret Realm expedition ended, the old ancestor Nangong Yun made a decisive move to abandon the territory of the Seven Star Archipelago and flee overseas.】

【Because the Heaven-level Technique was a hot potato, once the news spread, other island forces and some experts from the Eastern Wilderness would come to seize it.】

【When that happened, even the Profound Elixir Realm experts might not be able to protect the Heaven-level Technique. Staying in the Seven Star Archipelago would be courting death. Even if they handed over the cultivation method of the technique voluntarily, they would still face extermination. The cultivation world is that ruthless.】

【Including you, all the Mystical Realm cultivators and some of the talented individuals from the Seven Star Palace were taken away by him. As for the rest, they were dispersed and left to fend for themselves.】

【Many people sighed helplessly at the actions of the old ancestor Nangong Yun. Their families were among those left behind, but taking too many people would be too conspicuous and risky. Thus, they could only hope they would be fortunate.】

【Ten years passed in a flash. Thanks to the resoluteness of the old ancestor Nangong Yun, although many forces and experts searched for him, they found nothing. You all practised in a hidden cave on a remote deserted island.】

【The old ancestor Nangong Yun had grand ambitions. He intended to break through to the Profound Elixir Realm with the help of the Heaven-level Technique and hoped you would grow stronger and help him establish a more powerful Seven Star Palace.】

【For this, he taught you the Heaven-level Technique ‘Five Elements Fusion Technique.’ He wasn’t afraid you would run away with the technique since the place was arranged with a large formation, making escape without his permission impossible.】

【You were excited after obtaining the ‘Five Elements Fusion Technique’ and began to practice. You discovered the technique allowed cultivating five attributes simultaneously and could condense a Five Elements Spiritual Body. Such a body was much stronger than a single-attribute one, comparable to top innate constitutions. Moreover, once condensed, the foundation would be extremely sturdy, no less than any great sect’s prodigy, allowing for greater future achievements.】

【However, you also discovered some flaws in the ‘Five Elements Fusion Technique.’ It was best suited for cultivators below the Spirit Embryo Realm. Once surpassed, it couldn’t condense a Five Elements Spiritual Body. Though it could still cultivate five attributes simultaneously, retaining strong combat power without weaknesses, it ultimately had flaws, making perfect cultivation impossible.】

【Another flaw was the resource demand. Cultivating five attributes required five times the resources of other cultivators. Breaking through to the Spirit Embryo Realm and condensing a Five Elements Spiritual Body required five Sixth-Grade Spirit Items corresponding to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.】

【You could only sigh at the immense resource consumption of the ‘Five Elements Fusion Technique.’ Currently, it seemed hard to gather such resources.】

【You knew troubles would follow. If the old ancestor Nangong Yun failed to break through to the Profound Elixir Realm within thirty years, he would definitely take extreme measures.】

【Thirty years passed quickly. You successfully switched to the ‘Five Elements Fusion Technique,’ condensing five attribute true essences in your Dantian. However, you didn’t break through to the Spirit Embryo Realm, hoping to gather the other Sixth-Grade Spirit Items for a more complete breakthrough.】

【During these thirty years, the old ancestor Nangong Yun remained in closed cultivation, constantly trying to break through to the Profound Elixir Realm.】

【In the end, he failed. His failure led to his death, and with it, the restrictions over you disappeared, granting you freedom.】

【Each of you had your own plans, intending to disperse and continue seeking fortunes, aspiring to become Profound Elixir Realm experts. Unfortunately, just as you broke the large formation, you were discovered.】

【A formidable Profound Elixir Realm expert descended and attacked. You all fought desperately, but even with the Heaven-level Technique, the vast cultivation gap made you all as insignificant as ants, easily killed. Your Rebirth Talisman allowed you to die one more time.】

【With your death, this simulation ended.】
“Uh…”
Wang Ping looked at the simulation content, his gaze becoming somewhat nuanced.
He thought he would have to wait until the next simulation to have a chance to touch this Heaven-level Technique…

Unexpectedly, he learned it in this simulation and even successfully practiced it!

One can only say that plans can never keep up with changes.

Although the Seven Star Ancestor Nangong Yun refined him last time, as an ancestor, he was really fair. After strongly obtaining the Heaven-level Technique, he immediately took them and ran away. He even handed over the technique for their practice, without any intent to keep it for himself.

It’s just a pity that he was ultimately too old or perhaps his talent had reached its limit. He couldn’t successfully break through.

If he had successfully broken through to the Profound Elixir Realm, the Seven Star Palace might really have had the hope to rise again and become a major force in this sea area.

“I hope I can refresh for the Heaven-level Technique… No, Blue Talent is more precious. As long as I know how to obtain the Heaven-level Technique, I can keep doing it, but Blue Talents are rare!”

Wang Ping was very expectant.

“Ding! Rewards generated successfully. Host can choose two rewards from the following:

①. Spirit Sea Realm Perfection cultivation.

②. Blue Talent: Berserker.

③. Heaven-level Middle-grade Technique: Five Elements Fusion Technique.

④. Heaven-level Lower-grade Skill: Sunset Sword Technique.

⑤. Earth-Level Ultimate Secret Art: Blood-Burning Demon Art.

⑥. Earth-Level Ultimate Martial Skill: Seven Star Technique.

⑦. Green Talent: Moonlit Wolf.”

!!!

Wang Ping looked at the talents that were refreshed, full of surprise.

These are really generous rewards.

Truly, the best things all came out…

Moreover, the chat group was generous enough this time to allow him to choose two rewards, which was incredibly satisfying.

“System, I choose ② and ③!”

Wang Ping was very excited and said in his heart.

Although the Heaven-level Lower-grade Skill: Sunset Sword Technique is also very precious, it is ultimately not as valuable as these two rewards.

Moreover, since it can be refreshed, he could choose it next time.

As Wang Ping made his choice, many delightful thoughts also emerged in his mind.

That was the information of Blue Talent: Berserker and the cultivation content of the Heaven-level Technique: Five Elements Fusion Technique.

In addition, the liquid spirit energy in his body also began to boil.

His Dantian expanded significantly, simultaneously forming five vortex-like spirit energies with different attributes.

These were the spirit energy vortexes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

At this moment, Wang Ping felt the power within his body to be immensely strong. It wasn’t just that he had four more types of spirit energy; the quantity of spirit energy had increased fivefold. The quality of spirit energy had also changed significantly, becoming much stronger than before.

Furthermore, the mutual generation and overcoming among the five elements led to a qualitative change once the five elements’ spirit energies were formed.

For three days, there will be two chapters updated each day, amounting to ten thousand words of content.
