23 – Cultivation Surges!

“Died again… But this time I survived until the peak of the Tenth Layer of the Acquired Realm, not bad, not bad.”

Wang Ping looked at the simulation content and nodded in satisfaction.

The peak of the Tenth Layer of the Acquired Realm… There aren’t many in Chi Village, and in the entire Great Xia, he should be considered a formidable expert.

This is the perverse aspect of the simulator, not only allowing people to foresee the future but also easily skyrocketing one’s cultivation.

“However, this world is truly full of perils…”

Wang Ping thought about the other contents and couldn’t help but sigh.

Having avoided Li Huai, evaded the beast tide in Black Wind Forest, eluded the famine uprising, and sidestepped the chaotic warlords’ era, he finally managed to survive until the peaceful time of regime change. Yet, in pursuit of resources needed for a breakthrough, he tragically died at the hands of a demonic beast… so pitiful.

However, Wang Ping could understand the simulated version of himself.

After all, the Innate Realm is a major checkpoint. If he could cross it, his lifespan could extend to two hundred years, how could he resist such temptation?

In the simulation, if he relied on his own grinding to continue, the likelihood of breakthrough was too small, perhaps less than ten percent; he had no choice but to take a risk.

“This Bai Tianhong is indeed a remarkable figure.”

Immediately, Wang Ping thought of Bai Tianhong and couldn’t help but praise.

Single-handedly quelling the beast tide, and upon reappearing, he directly ended the chaotic world and changed the dynasty of Great Xia—it was truly impressive.

Wang Ping guessed that the reason he reappeared later was likely because he was trying to break through to the Seventh Layer of the Spirit Origin Realm. At that level, he would be almost invincible in Great Xia.

Otherwise, without breaking through to the Seventh Layer of the Spirit Origin Realm, his strength wouldn’t be enough. Even if he appeared, he wouldn’t be able to do anything.

“I just wonder where Ye Chen has gone. Logically, with his supposed protagonist aura, he shouldn’t be so quiet.”

Wang Ping thought of Ye Chen, feeling puzzled.

“Forget it, whatever happens to him has nothing to do with me for now. What I need to do is continue simulating and getting stronger, that’s all.”

Wang Ping shook his head, discarding his distracting thoughts, and began looking forward to the rewards.

“Ding, reward generation successful, the host may choose one of the following rewards:”

①. Cultivation at the peak of the Tenth Layer of the Acquired Realm. ②. Battle experience. ③. Martial arts practiced."

“System, I choose ①.”

Wang Ping glanced at the rewards, then directly put down Ah Huang in his arms and returned inside, making his choice in his mind.

As Wang Ping spoke, he felt his whole body heat up, with cracking sounds coming from his body as if his physique had strengthened multiple times over, and his vital energy and blood surged immensely.

At the same time, he felt a miraculous energy forming in his dantian, incredibly powerful.

“Whew…” This feeling was too wonderful.

Wang Ping felt his newfound power and a smile appeared on his face.

An ordinary Innate Realm cultivator could effortlessly destroy an entire street, undeniably powerful.

Although the peak of the Tenth Layer of the Acquired Realm couldn’t compare to Innate Realm experts, it was still formidable, and he could be considered a strong figure in Great Xia.

“Brother Wang Ping, you…”

At this moment, Chi Feng was startled, running into the room and staring at Wang Ping in astonishment.

“Woof! Woof!”

At the same time, the little yellow dog Ah Huang also barked, wagging its tail.
“Absorbing spirit stones. Some breakthroughs,” Wang Ping explained.

“Brother Wang Ping, do you call this ‘some breakthroughs’?” Chi Feng’s face was full of disbelief as he muttered, “Why do I feel like your cultivation has already reached the Acquired Realm? This cultivation speed is faster than Brother Huo consuming a different fire.”

“Come on, I haven’t gone as far as you say just yet. Keep on cultivating,” Wang Ping, somewhat amused, waved his hand at him.

“Special constitution, truly abnormal.” Chi Feng continued to mutter for a while before returning to his rigorous training.

A sense of urgency surged within him.

Wang Ping’s rapid improvement in cultivation had left him quite shaken.

After all, not long ago, Wang Ping was merely a weak ordinary person. Now he had directly reached the Acquired Realm, faster than consuming an exotic fire.

After sending Chi Feng away, Wang Ping intended to continue his simulation.

However, the little earth dog, Ah Huang, was still wagging its tail by his side.

In response, Wang Ping chuckled lightly, picked him up, and continued petting the dog’s head.

“System, I want to start a new simulation,” Wang Ping said in his heart.

“Ding, this simulation requires 16 low-grade spirit stones. Would you like to start the simulation immediately?”

The system’s voice sounded.

“Spend,” Wang Ping thought to himself.

“Ding, Life Simulator activated, refreshing talents…”

“Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully refreshing to White Talent: Beast Tamer; Green Talent: Sword Dao Genius.”

White Talent: Beast Tamer: With this talent, the host will be able to train some low-level demonic beasts for personal use.

Green Talent: Sword Dao Genius: With this talent, the host’s aptitude in swordsmanship will be greatly enhanced, becoming a genius above ordinary prodigies.

“System, I choose the Green Talent: Sword Dao Genius.”

Wang Ping’s eyes lit up, and he made the choice without hesitation.

Sword Dao Genius was undoubtedly an advanced version of the swordsmanship genius and the first green talent to appear. It was bound to bring some surprises.

After all, his current cultivation level had also been improved.

Then, there was still the same issue.

His combat strength was too weak compared with others in the same realm.

With an improved cultivation level, combat strength became significantly important.

“Ding, talent selection successful, life simulation starts.”

The system’s voice sounded, and words began to appear on the virtual screen.

“March 11, 480th year of the Great Xia Calendar, you and Chi Feng went to the training grounds. Chi Hu discovered that he could not see through you and was very surprised. Chi Feng candidly spoke about your cultivation improvement, shocking Chi Hu, who then asked if it was true.”

“Knowing that you couldn’t hide the cultivation level, you decided that revealing it would be beneficial. Thus, you didn’t conceal it and disclosed that your cultivation had reached the peak of the tenth level of the Acquired Realm.”

“This statement left all the children dumbfounded. Chi Hu’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief. In response, you released the aura of the peak of the tenth level of the Acquired Realm, leaving Chi Hu dumbfounded and exclaiming that it was abnormal.”

“Your cultivation problem gradually spread throughout Chi Village. The hunting team was extremely shocked, and the village chief couldn’t believe your special constitution was so formidable and was very happy.”

“Then, the village chief wanted to invite you to join the hunting trip to gain some experience. After all, martial artists couldn’t just focus on bitter cultivation. You didn’t refuse, knowing that it was faster and safer to gain combat experience under the guidance and protection of elders rather than exploring alone.”

“You joined the hunt, showcasing enough combat experience to surprise everyone. The village chief and the others could see that your combat experience was not excellent but also not unremarkable. They were puzzled, wondering if it was due to outstanding talent or prior combat experiences.”

“You couldn’t easily explain the doubts of everyone, but they didn’t trouble you any further.”
