Simulator: Path to Greatness

[In the twenty-fifth year, you practiced the Silent Fist for a year, but unfortunately, you still hadn't made any progress.]

[You know there's nothing you can do about it. This fist technique is too advanced; practicing it will undoubtedly be more difficult.]

[However, you didn't give up. You possess the gift of "Heaven rewards hard work." You believe that as long as you practice diligently, you will eventually succeed!]

[In the thirty-second year, after more than seven years of effort, you finally brought the Silent Fist to the entry level.]

[You used the Silent Fist and swung it out. Suddenly, a surging vitality burst out along your fist.]

["Boom!" The fist struck the ground, and the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees were reduced to ashes. A massive fist-shaped crater appeared on the ground.]

[You stared at the massive pit you had created, then looked down at your fist. For a moment, you were stunned.]

[In the past, you could use your spiritual energy to smash the ground, but the depth was nothing compared to the one created by the Silent Fist now. The pit was at least dozens of times deeper.]

[This is astonishing. Even at the entry-level, the Silent Fist has drastically increased your power!]

[You realize that with your current strength, you could probably wipe out a group of people with a single punch, even without other fighting techniques!]

[However, you also understand that combat skills vary in strength. The Silent Fist is undeniably the most powerful, which explains the enormous difference.]

[Other weaker fighting skills can also improve combat power, but the improvement is far smaller in comparison.]

[Knowing how strong the Silent Fist is, you quickly focused your mind and continued your practice.]

[More than ten years passed in the blink of an eye.]

[In the forty-seventh year, while practicing the Silent Fist, you triggered an accidental epiphany of your talent, gaining a sevenfold increase in training speed, and your thoughts became more agile!]

[The epiphany lasted for a year, and although your practice of the Silent Fist made considerable progress, you still did not break through.]

[Despite this, the power of your Silent Fist increased several times over.]

[At this point, you were eager to test your newfound strength and wanted to find someone to fight immediately.]

[But it was clear that you had miscalculated. There was no one around, and you couldn't find this opportunity!]

[In the fiftieth year, while practicing, a strong wind suddenly blew through, filled with murderous intent!]

[You furrowed your brow slightly and instinctively thought: Could someone be attacking me?]

[You quickly used the Wind Chasing Technique and dodged in time.]

[The murderous wind passed you by, and although you were affected by the killing intent, you were not injured.]

[You fought off the influence of the killing intent and remained alert to your surroundings.]

[Time passed second by second. After half a day, there was still no movement, and you gradually began to relax.]

[It seemed that the fierce wind carrying the killing intent had just passed by randomly, and wasn't deliberately targeting you.]

[Nevertheless, you couldn't help but remain wary of this place!]

[If the fierce wind had attacked you head-on, you weren't sure if you'd be corroded by the killing intent and driven mad, or killed by the wind.]

[After all, you also have entry-level killing intent and can sense the murderous aura in the wind. It's somewhat different from Wan Jianlin's killing intent, more manic in nature.]

[Without overthinking it, you spent the next month eliminating the effects of the killing intent.]

[Once the influence had completely disappeared, you resumed the monotonous routine of practicing the Silent Fist every day.]

[Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.]

[In the seventieth year, after so many years of practice, you can feel that the Silent Fist continues to make steady progress.]

[At this point, you feel that the Silent Fist might not be far from breaking through to the minor success realm.]

[In the years since, you've encountered several more fierce winds, each carrying intense killing intent.]

[However, after that strong wind twenty years ago, you've always remained cautious, dodging each of them in time.]

[In the seventy-third year, you triggered your talent again, having another epiphany, gaining a tenfold increase in training speed, and your thoughts became more active.]

[This epiphany lasted for three full years, and you successfully practiced the Silent Fist to the minor success realm!]

[In the seventy-fifth year, you noticed that the strong winds carrying murderous intent were becoming more frequent.]

[It had become impossible for you to practice in peace.]

[So, you decided to leave your current location and move elsewhere!]

[You remember Wu Youdao's words: heading west leads to other domains, so you decided to head west.]

[If you encounter a place where the murderous intent is too intense and you cannot pass, you think you can stop and find a safe place to practice.]

[In the seventy-sixth year, you stopped and looked ahead.]

[Before you, there lay a sea of murderous intent.]

[The thick killing intent here was far deeper than in the Ten Thousand Swords Forest.]

[Not only that, this murderous aura seemed to possess a strange energy, creating a feeling that it could erupt at any moment!]

[At this point, you realize where the previous strong winds carrying murderous intent came from—it was this place.]

[Here, the killing intent sometimes forms into hurricanes, drifting in all directions.]

[Moreover, you notice that killing intent from other areas is continually approaching this place!]

[You can't figure out why this is happening.]

[All you know is that this place is far too dangerous for you to approach, and you need to leave quickly!]

[At that moment, you hear a tiger's roar.]

[You see the sea of killing intent shifting on its own and finally condensing into the shape of a white tiger.]

[The sea of murderous intent condensed into the shape of a white tiger stares at you before letting out another tiger's roar.]

[The surging killing intent transforms into sound waves that attack you.]

[The speed of the sound waves is so fast you realize you can't escape, so you immediately use the Silent Fist of the Minor Success Realm to block it.]

[After you use the Silent Fist, the sea of killing intent in the shape of a white tiger is momentarily stunned, as though confused.]

[But soon, it roars again in fury.]

[Your Silent Fist proves insufficient to block the killing intent sound wave, and two waves overwhelm you at once.]

[You die at the age of 96.]

[This simulation ends.]

[You can choose two rewards for this simulation: Heaven Rewards Hard Work (Talent), Silent Fist (Minor Success), Pseudo-Spiritual Liquid (a pool), Killing Intent (Entry).]

[Heaven Rewards Hard Work (Talent): 100 energy points.]

[Silent Fist (Minor Success): 100 million energy points.]

[Pseudo-Spiritual Liquid (a pool): 10 billion energy points. (Impure spiritual liquid is several times less effective than pure spiritual liquid.)]

[True Meaning of the Way of Killing (Beginner's Guide): 100 million energy points.]

[Jiang Yifeng looks at the simulator, deep in thought.]
