In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Chapter 3 One Lifetime: One Bit of Effort, A Hundred Bites of Reward

then.

Lu Yuan embarked on his crazy training journey.

Every day, besides eating and sleeping, I crawl around on the ground, constantly trying to make myself stronger.

As the eldest son of a martial arts family, his parents poured almost all their resources into him.

Toys, food, and daily necessities—everything is the best.

And from time to time, they would brew medicinal soups with various precious herbs to replenish Lu Yuan's nutrition.

Lu Yuan lived up to expectations.

They can start speaking at three months old and walk briskly at one year old.

And his body is also exceptionally strong.

Although he is only one year old, he is taller than a four- or five-year-old child.

With his current physical condition, let alone catching a cold.

Even in the dead of winter, if you throw him into the river for a winter swim, he won't catch a cold.

Regarding the changes that have occurred in Lu Yuan.

Lu Zhengming was not afraid at all; on the contrary, he was overjoyed and became a baby-showing fanatic.

"My son Lu Yuan is exceptionally talented and has the potential to become a grandmaster!"

Moreover, as Lu Yuan persisted in exercising, his physique became increasingly terrifying.

On the night of my first birthday.

Lu Yuan's body trembled, and his pores opened wide, expelling countless black impurities, as if he had completed some kind of transformation.

[You have crawled a total of one thousand kilometers, greatly enhancing your physical strength and breaking through to the minor mastery of external strength.]

[Defying Fate: At the age of one, you achieved minor mastery of external martial arts and successfully changed your fate of catching a cold.]

Main story progress: 1%!

[Reward: 1000 simulation points, plus one free meridian cleansing treatment!]

Your meridians are now clear, and your comprehension has improved!

[Your physical abilities have increased dramatically, and the duration of your talent has been extended to 5 minutes!]

"This is defying fate?"

A smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face.

Simulation points are the hard currency of the main world, circulating only among simulators.

Ordinary people don't even have the right to come into contact with it.

If converted to money...

One simulated point is roughly equivalent to 10,000 coins.

In other words.

Most people work hard for a year and may not even earn 10 simulated points.

But he had only just begun when he acquired a considerable fortune.

Moreover, money is the least significant of all the rewards.

"In addition to breaking through my cultivation level, my aptitude has also improved this time."

Lu Yuan's eyes brightened slightly.

If you say before.

Lu Yuan only has a little talent in martial arts.

So now.

He has extraordinary talent and can be called a martial arts prodigy!

Even without talent, he could achieve remarkable success in martial arts.

Not to mention.

As your strength increases, the duration of "Heaven rewards diligence" also increases.

If this cultivation speed continues...

Becoming a martial arts master is just around the corner.

"But what if you're a grandmaster? You still can't beat someone who uses a gun."

Lu Yuan remembered his main quest, and his joy vanished instantly.

After a year of learning, he had a general understanding of the power system of this world.

Martial arts realms are roughly divided into: external strength, internal strength, and master of transforming strength.

Each major realm is further divided into: entry level, minor achievement, major achievement, and perfection.

External martial artists only know a few basic external skills. Apart from being tough, strong, and having great strength, they are not much different from ordinary people.

An internal strength martial artist is like a martial arts master in a novel. They have cultivated a trace of internal strength in their body and can fly over rooftops and split rocks.

Some veteran martial artists with perfected internal strength can kill a water buffalo with a single punch.

However, even in this technologically advanced modern society, martial artists with internal strength still cannot fight against firearms.

Any large-caliber sniper rifle could take their lives.

The reason why martial artists who have mastered the "Transformation Realm" are called Grandmasters is because of this.

It is because people of this level have blood and qi like dragons, and can transform their internal energy into a powerful force to withstand firearms.

Ordinary pistols and sniper rifles are no longer a threat to a Grandmaster.

Unless you're willing to go to any lengths and use armored tanks or modern troops, killing a Grandmaster in a densely populated city is practically impossible.

Therefore, since ancient times.

There is an unwritten rule in the martial arts world.

The master cannot be humiliated.

in ancient times.

The term "Grandmaster" also represents unparalleled power and status.

Unfortunately, with the development of technology...

Significant breakthroughs have been achieved in various advanced weapons.

A special forces soldier wielding a laser rifle can pose a life-threatening threat to a Grandmaster.

Not to mention.

Those nuclear weapons with yields of hundreds of millions of kJ/kg, and space-based weapons that can be guided by lasers and achieve ultra-long-range strikes in outer space orbit.

Therefore, martial arts masters gradually faded from the historical stage.

If this were two hundred years ago...

Some established masters of the highest level can even influence the policies of the imperial court.

but now.

Even though they are masters of the highest level, they can only retreat to a small area and their influence is not as great as some popular celebrities and idols.

Moreover, how easy is it to break through to the Grandmaster level?
In the entire martial arts world, it may take several years for a new grandmaster to emerge.

One goes down and the other goes up.

It is estimated that in the not-too-distant future, martial arts will be completely eliminated by technology.

Think of this.

A strong sense of crisis welled up in Lu Yuan's heart.

Hot weapons cannot do much damage to the supernatural.

If martial arts disappear.

So what will humanity do when faced with the bizarre in the future?

Just like fish on a chopping board, they can only be slaughtered at will.

He has to change that!
……

Lu's Martial Arts School.

The vast training ground was sparsely populated.

Only a handful of students were doing their morning exercises.

"Hey hey hey!"

A chubby little baby followed behind the trainees, mimicking their movements with fists and feet.

He has big, bright eyes and delicate features.

Wearing a miniature version of training clothes, they look like the mascot of a martial arts school.

But his body was too small.

His movements were unsteady and his steps were faltering.

He looked like a drunkard, which was quite comical.

"Junior brother, that's not how you punch."

"Slow down, don't hurt yourself."

"Practicing martial arts can only improve your physical fitness. Junior brother, you'd be better off studying hard and becoming a scientist in the future."

Several students looked at him, all with smiles on their faces.

three days ago.

Lu Yuan suddenly expressed his desire to learn martial arts.

but,

Mr. Lu felt that he was still too young and was worried that he would hurt himself.

and.

Martial arts are declining, and there is no future in practicing martial arts.

But Lu Yuan's persistent pleading forced Lu's father to agree.

at first.

Everyone thought he was joking.

What does a two-year-old know?
Once the novelty wears off, I give up.

But Lu Yuan was very diligent.

He was always the first to arrive at the training ground every day.

and,

Every punch should be thrown with full force.

When everyone saw how serious and hardworking Lu Yuan was.

That's when I finally understood.

Junior brother is actually serious!
"Yeah!"

Morning exercise is over.

Lu Yuan plopped down on the ground, exhausted.

My whole body aches and I'm drenched in sweat.

But he felt a joy like that of an old farmer with a bountiful harvest.

Because of the divine talent of "Heaven rewards diligence".

He reaps huge rewards every time he practices boxing.

[After just one session of boxing practice, my physical fitness improved dramatically.]

Practice the fist ten times, and you'll master the basics of Wind and Thunder Fist!

Practice your boxing skills a hundred times, and your physical constitution and aptitude will improve!

Practice your fist a thousand times, and you'll master the Wind and Thunder Fist!

Practice your fist techniques ten thousand times, and you will break through to the pinnacle of external strength!
