Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

The blacksmith's gaze fell on the simple sword in Wen Yu's hand, recalling the demands and words the other party had spoken to him earlier that day.

They can kill, and they'll pay for it.

Everything is connected.

Looking at the village entrance littered with corpses, he couldn't help but feel fortunate. If this young master hadn't arrived, the village would probably have faced annihilation tonight.

"Thank you very much, young master!"

The man clasped his hands in a fist salute and expressed his sincere gratitude.

Upon seeing this, the young men behind them also clasped their hands in thanks.

Wen Yu, leading his horse, chuckled and said, "No need, I've already received my payment."

He gestured to the sword in his hand as he spoke.

Afterwards, Wen Yu instructed the villagers to dispose of and bury the bodies of the soldiers and bandits, collect their leather armor and weapons, and try to erase all traces.

The old man frowned and said worriedly, "We are very grateful for your help this time, young master, but the bandits and soldiers will likely come looking for us again once they discover that someone is missing."

"We have no choice but to move."

The blacksmith looked utterly helpless.

"Where to move to?"

The old man looked utterly dejected.

Wen Yu led the confused little girl, who was watching the commotion without knowing what was happening, towards the dilapidated courtyard.

The sound drifted over.

"Get some rest. I will deal with the root cause of the war tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the villagers seemed to have found support and confidence. They remained silent and went back to their houses.

Go to bed early.

Wen Yu smiled and gestured, and the little girl obediently nodded and went back into the house.

The old man's face betrayed his worry: "Young master... perhaps you should leave. Saving me once is already a great favor; how could I dare let you risk your life again?"

Wen Yu washed the blood off the sword blade with clean water and shook his head.

"It's not just for you, it's also for the obsession in my heart."

After resolutely turning left, it was not just based on a moment of passion, but on careful consideration.

Martial arts realm, talent attributes, advanced martial arts.

If, despite all these blessings, he still cannot kill a band of bandits, then Wen Yu should go back to his coffin and lie down, and not come out to embarrass himself.

With the blessing of [Sword Qi Across the Land (Azure)], he drew his sword and thrust straight forward.

With sword energy capable of shattering gold and jade, no one within the second realm could withstand a single strike from him.

Even at the third realm, touching the sword energy will result in broken arms and legs; one must avoid its sharp edge.

Furthermore, Wen Yu also has the [Intelligence Master (Blue)] buff to "Firefly Dance," which, under the right tactics, can even slay enemies in the third realm.

Even in the worst of times, there are still beings at the fourth level hidden among ordinary soldiers and bandits, and he also possesses the engraved [Sword Charm - Celestial Immortal].

Even if you are defeated, you can't escape; there's always the "Never Die (Gold)" as a backup.

If he was truly forced to this point, Wen Yu had no choice but to accept it.

Back in the side room that the old man had tidied up, Wen Yu checked the system.

[The mission to quell the military disturbance and protect the village has been completed; rewards have been distributed.]

[One simulation attempt has been granted.]

Wen Yu lay down on the wooden bed and found a comfortable position.

Since he said he would go to the mountain stronghold tomorrow to completely quell the war, he would definitely need to improve his strength.

In the last simulation, the bandit leader's martial arts realm was said to be at the fourth level.

He's two whole realms above me.

The success rate of the assassination attempt by the [Intelligence Master (Blue)] combined with [Sword Charm - Celestial Immortal] is unknown.

Because he had never truly witnessed the power and skills of martial artists at the third or fourth realm.

Will I be able to restrain myself?

That being the case...

[Emulator, start!]

Then continue simulating, striving to raise your realm to the third or fourth level, or even higher, and obtain more talent attributes and martial arts secrets.

I refuse to believe that Kaigui can't resolve the mere military troubles in the mountain stronghold.

[Simulation begins.]

[The coffin is lifted once more, and the figure resolutely heads to the left, sword energy slaying soldiers and bandits, as danger draws ever closer.]

[You are well aware that your current strength is insufficient to completely resolve the village's crisis, and you realize that the "Never Die" (Gold) talent attribute still has two fatal attacks left to be inscribed.]

[Open the system settings to check.]

"Surviving a great calamity": Surviving a disaster and turning a potentially fatal attack into an advantage.

[Current number of inscriptions: Two.]

[You've seen the number of inscriptions, confirming that you're stuck on a system bug. The first time was during the massacre of your entire family sixteen years ago, and the second time was when you drew your sword against Gong Si on a rainy night in the long street.]

"Begin engraving."

The white light was dazzling, like the sun hanging in the sky, brilliant and magnificent, displaying the awe-inspiring power of heaven.

[A familiar scene unfolded before their eyes; the mighty horde rolled in.]

[Inscribed: "Sword Charm: Celestial Immortal".]

As expected, the inscription "Sword Charm - Celestial Immortal" was once again engraved.

It seems your efforts to exploit the bug have been in vain.

But the next moment, you felt the sword mark etched between your brows seemed to have deepened.

The sublime aura of the sword mark grew ever more magnificent and awe-inspiring, emanating an even more terrifying sense of crisis.

"Did they overlap?"

A pleasant surprise arises in your mind.

If that's truly the case, and the inscription is layered before each simulation, what terrifying level will this already sublime and ethereal sword aura reach?

[You calmed your joy and realized you were stuck on a system bug.]

【Continue to Engrave】

The rain froze, the void twisted, and a chaotic, tearing force devoured everything around it like a black hole.

[Inscribed: "Secret Technique of the Demonic Sect - Disordered Force Field"]

"A secret technique of the demonic sect?"

You look at the "Great Misfortune" (Gold) talent attribute.

【"A miraculous escape from death" (Gold):】

"Sword Charm - Celestial Immortal": The sword's power is magnificent and illustrious, its charm is lofty and ethereal, and wielding the sword is like an immortal descending to earth.

"Demonic Secret Technique - Chaotic Force Field: An unpredictable force that twists, tears, and devours everything within its range."

On the wooden bed, Wen Yu pondered the insights he had gained about this secret technique.

Compared to "Sword Charm - Celestial Immortal" which requires a long charging time to use, "Demonic Secret Technique - Chaotic Force Field" is a controllable skill.

The timing and power of the release are determined based on one's own strength and output.

The greatest drain is on mental energy; if overdrawn, mental energy will be exhausted, leading to a collapse of consciousness and death.

Wen Yu's current usage time limit is only three seconds.

Release a disordered force field within a circle six meters in diameter, or three meters in radius, around yourself.

It can be used to assist in controlling and imprisoning, or to launch attacks that twist and tear.

They can even directly devour the enemy's spiritual energy and mental energy for their own use, provided they are strong enough; otherwise, they will suffer a backlash.

A very comprehensive set of secret techniques.

"Although three seconds is a bit short, it can still produce amazing results if the timing is right."

If the enemy attacks at close range, Wen Yu releases the [Disorder Field], followed by a straight thrust enhanced by [Sword Rhythm - Celestial Immortal] and [Sword Qi Across the Land].

The four realms are probably all unable to withstand such a blow.

"I wonder if the [Disorder Field] can have a cumulative effect?"

He's already looking forward to the next simulation, hoping to exploit the bug again.

[You are inscribed with "The Demonic Sect's Secret Technique - Disordered Force Field," becoming a man with three seconds of strong control.]

[Then we began to consider the resettlement of the villagers. You can't approach the mountain village now, nor can you let the villagers slow down the simulation.]

You rise and gather all the villagers, distributing the money and silver collected from the soldiers and bandits, and instructing the villagers to pack their belongings and food to travel to the nearby county town.

In just over six months, Wei Qi will lead his troops to destroy the mountain stronghold, and then he will be able to return home.

The villagers, having no other choice, acted according to your plan.

[Watching the group hurriedly leave their hometown under the cover of night, the little girl, nestled in her grandfather's arms, turned to look at you, her innocent eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment...]

It won't happen again.

[You whisper in your heart.]
