Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[You familiarized yourself with the strength of your body and attempted to control the newly acquired Origin Force.]

[You discovered that Origin Force is a kind of special power that can be cultivated and seems to have unique applications, but with no way to research it further, you could only utilize it in the most rudimentary manner.]

[After several days, you ended your secluded cultivation.]

[At this time, the situation at the Human Race’s Demon-Subduing Pass worsened day by day, with an increasing number of human powerhouses dying in battle. Nevertheless, you knew that with your current strength, you were still unable to change the situation, so you focused the vast majority of your energy on improving your cultivation level.]

[In the twenty-first year, you consumed three jin of Demonic Beast Flesh Essence, one Origin Martial Pill, and several dozen jin of Spirit Rice every day.]

[With the boost from your Gluttonous Talent, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level and physical strength increased rapidly, showing visible progress each day.]

[In the twenty-second year, you cultivated day and night, grasping the last moments to enhance your strength.]

[In the twenty-third year, your relentless cultivation brought your Body Refinement Cultivation Level close to the second layer of the Origin Martial Realm.]

[In the twenty-fourth year, Providence did not fail the hardworking, and you successfully broke through, becoming a cultivator of the second layer of the Origin Martial Realm!]

[The same year, Demon-Subduing Pass was breached, plunging the Human Race into a massive crisis.]

[One day, that familiar behemoth descended once again, swallowing the entire Great Xia Country in one gulp.]

[You fought back fiercely, but as a mere Origin Martial cultivator, you were no more significant than an ant in the face of the beast, and along with an entire continent, you were swallowed by the beast.]

[You died.]

[Your talent for not dying with eyes closed activated, and you saw nothing but darkness.]

[Ding, this simulation has ended!]

After the simulation ended, Su Xing took a deep breath. The enhancements from this simulation were evident; through multiple simulations, Su Xing’s Body Refinement Cultivation Level had reached the second level directly!

The Gluttonous Talent played an undeniable role, but the Origin Martial Pill and Demonic Beast Flesh Essence were key to Su Xing’s increase in strength.

“So, this world only lasted twenty-four years this time…”

Su Xing muttered to himself, slightly furrowing his brow.

“Perhaps around twenty-five years is currently the limit for extending the apocalypse. After all, the improvement of intermediate-level combat power has limited effects on the Demon-Subduing Pass and the overall situation. If we want to further delay the apocalypse and extend the simulation time, we need to enhance the high-end combat strength!”

Su Xing closed his eyes and pondered, repeatedly considering whether there were areas for improvement in this simulation and whether he had missed any critical information.

A moment later, Su Xing opened his eyes, having developed a more comprehensive plan for the next simulation.

“First, the Luotian Meeting Instance. I should make a trip there in the next simulation. After collecting the rewards this time, with Origin Martial Realm cultivation and Nascent Soul Realm exploration, there shouldn’t be any danger…”

“As for that damned Zong… This old dog has quite a few secrets! In the next simulation, I should lay out a more detailed plan to ensure that I kill damned Zong on the spot, thereby inheriting his legacy…”

After devising a plan, Su Xing turned his attention to the rewards from this simulation.

[Never-Falling Spear]: Blue talent, price 100,000 energy points.

[Origin Martial Realm Second Layer]: Body Refinement Cultivation, price 2,000,000 energy points.

[Twenty-Four Years of Alchemy Experience]: Alchemy insights, including experience with the inferior-grade Origin Martial Pill (minor completion) and some Soul Condensing Pill production experience, price 600,000 energy points.

[Divine Sense Four Hundred Thirty Zhang (Perceptive Realm)]: In this realm, Divine Sense is like the five senses, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body, capable of sensing movements within a radius of four hundred eighty zhang, price 3,800,000 simulation energy points.

[Heavenly King Level Demonic Beast Flesh Essence 50 Jin]: Essence of a Heavenly King Level Demonic Beast, containing a large amount of life essence, price 5,000,000 energy points.]

Su Xing looked at the simulation rewards and pondered for a moment.

“Is the essence of demonic beast flesh really that expensive… Fifty pounds of flesh actually costs 5 million points of energy!?”

Su Xing was somewhat surprised. He had originally planned to take out some essence of demonic beast flesh for future cultivation within the simulator.

But now, seeing the high selling price, he realized that exchanging it would be more loss than gain.

However, Su Xing’s thoughts took a turn, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.

“Wait, if fifty pounds of demonic beast flesh essence is worth 5 million points of energy, and according to the simulator’s indices, the difference between exchange and transformation into energy is about tenfold… this means that fifty pounds of demonic beast flesh could be exchanged for five hundred thousand points of energy, which seems quite substantial as well…”

Su Xing paused and continued to think along this line of thought.

“In that case, when my strength becomes strong enough, I could completely hunt demonic beasts and the Foreign Race to exchange for energy. Since there is an endless number of demonic beasts, doesn’t that mean I could obtain even more simulation energy?”

Thinking this, Su Xing’s eyes lit up as he faintly discovered a new channel for rapidly obtaining simulation energy.

“But all of these are for the future. Right now, I should exchange for my rewards first!”

After some contemplation, Su Xing silently decided:

“I choose to exchange for the second level cultivation of the Origin Martial Realm, as well as twenty-four years of alchemy experience!”

There was naturally nothing to consider about exchanging for the second level cultivation of the Origin Martial Realm since Su Xing’s purpose in this simulation was to break through to the Origin Martial Realm.

As for the choice between alchemy experience and divine sense, Su Xing still preferred alchemy experience.

After all, this included the experience for refining both the minor achievement level Origin Martial Pill and, more importantly, the Soul Condensing Pills.

With this experience, Su Xing was confident that he could improve the Soul Condensing Pills to the minor achievement level in the next simulation, making it much easier to elevate his divine sense realm when the time came, so he was not in a hurry.

As for the talent “Unyielding Silver Spear,” although Su Xing was very interested, his current priority was to enhance his strength!

[You have chosen to take out the cultivation of the second level of the Origin Martial Realm, spending 2 million points of energy, leaving a balance of 6,522,333 points of energy.]

[You have chosen to take out twenty-four years of alchemy experience, spending 600,000 points of energy, leaving a balance of 5,922,333 points of energy.]

The simulator’s notification sounded in Su Xing’s ears.

First, Su Xing felt that his mind was filled with various alchemy techniques, thus taking a big step forward in his alchemy experience and mastering the methods of refining both the Soul Condensing Pills and Origin Martial Pills.

Next came the enhancement of cultivation!

A mysterious energy began to reinforce Su Xing’s physical body.

Su Xing felt his whole body’s momentum rise continuously as his physical strength rapidly increased.

Within just a few minutes, Su Xing’s Body Refinement Cultivation Level broke through to the Origin Martial Realm, and it kept climbing.

It was not until his cultivation reached the second level of the Origin Martial Realm that this growth ceased.

“Is this… Origin Force?”

Su Xing extended his hands, looking at the invisible energy swirling around his arms.

Su Xing had a feeling that he could unleash this energy in a short amount of time to greatly enhance his strength and destructive power or use the Origin Force as a protective layer over his skin for defense.

“No wonder Body Refinement Cultivators can have a greater combat ability than Qi Refinement Cultivators — this Origin Force is indeed an excellent method for attack and defense.”

Su Xing murmured softly, then his heart grew curious.

“I just don’t know how much my physical strength has increased compared to before.”

First, Su Xing took care of the Spirit Plants planted in the Spirit Field, only leaving the Spirit Field Blessed Land when the sky began to darken, heading towards the training facility within the school.

After swallowing a Disguise Pill and combining it with a pill that concealed his energy, Su Xing’s appearance had completely changed, even his aura was very different from before.

Once he was sure nothing had been overlooked, Su Xing entered the training facility.

It was deep into the night, and the training facility was unusually empty.

Seizing the chance when there was no one around, Su Xing approached the strength-testing machine.

He walked straight past the Master Level training machine, coming to a stop before the Grandmaster Level strength training machine.

The Master Level training machine could at most withstand a force of 500,000 jin, and Su Xing was confident his strength far exceeded that. It wouldn’t be good if he destroyed the machine like he did last time.

“Hoo~”

Su Xing took a deep breath, anchored his breath to his Dantian, gathered all his strength, and threw a punch.

A row of numbers appeared on the strength training machine.

“768,000 kg!”

Su Xing unleashed a series of punches.

“777,000 kg!”

“769,000 kg!”

“756,000 kg!”

After several consecutive punches, Su Xing finally stopped, feeling pleasantly surprised in his heart:

“Exceeding 750,000 kilograms means my strength has quintupled the 300,000 jin from my nine layers of the Organ Refining Realm before!”

“This, is this the strength of the Origin Martial Realm?”

Having surpassed a force of 1,500,000 jin, this was much more than Su Xing had expected.

After testing his foundational strength, Su Xing didn’t rush to leave but instead tried to wrap his Origin Force around his fist and punched again.

“Ha!”

Su Xing shouted explosively. With his Origin Force wound around it, his punch now carried his full strength.

Boom!

To Su Xing’s surprise, his punch turned the entire machine to smithereens.

This was unexpected, as the Grandmaster Level strength training machine was designed to withstand a force of up to 1,000,000 kilograms!

This was considered an absolutely safe value, for even those in strength-related professions with great power could not reach this figure.

There were even rumors that 1,000,000 kilograms was a figure only those who had just stepped into the Heavenly King Level could achieve.

“This is going to be troublesome!”

Su Xing scratched his head, his gaze shifting to the only Heavenly King Level strength training machine in the training field.

This machine could withstand the forceful strikes of a Heavenly King strongman.

Su Xing stepped up to this machine, his Origin Force swirling around his fist.

The next second, he launched another punch!

Boom!

The extreme force that broke the sound barrier landed on the special soft material in front of the strength training machine, which absorbed it and then relayed the precise force back to Su Xing.

“1,080,000 kg!”

Over 2,000,000 jin!

This was the extreme limit of Su Xing’s physical strength when he coiled Origin Force around his fist.

One could imagine that Su Xing had a crude grasp of Origin Force now, and once he fully mastered it, his strength would grow even more!

“Increased by about a quarter of my strength, and it also comes with extreme destructive power… tsk, this Origin Force is indeed extraordinary!”

Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, and while there was no one around, he left the strength training ground.

Proficiently circling the campus to ensure no one was following him, Su Xing then returned to his dormitory.

The next morning, when the diligent juniors and juniors arrived at the strength training gym, they were dumbfounded by the sight of the shattered strength training machine.

“Damn, who the hell did this? Even the Grandmaster Level strength training machine is smashed to pieces… Could it be that a senior has broken through to the Heavenly King strongman level?”

“Are you stupid? Heavenly King strongman can easily become a teacher in our school! Must be some teacher who accidentally broke it…”

A group of gossiping juniors discussed excitedly.

“Maybe, we could check the surveillance footage to see which big shot did it?”

A curious junior suggested, and then they checked the training facility’s surveillance.

But Su Xing had already disguised himself, and since he acted during the night, he avoided the school’s cameras along the way. Even turning the place upside down, it would be impossible to find Su Xing, the old senior who was on the verge of being “advised to drop out.”

In the following week, Su Xing continued to make Nourishing Face Pills and Wound Healing Pills as usual.

Within a week, Su Xing had produced 5,000 elixirs and took them to see Jin Congxue.

“Eh, I feel like you’ve grown taller again… You must be close to 1.85 meters now, right?”

Jin Congxue was stunned to see Su Xing and came over to compare heights, finding she was almost a head shorter than him.

Seeing the beauty pressed close to him, her breath fragrant, the warm touch of her skin made Su Xing’s heartbeat accelerate.

“Ahem, well… I’ve been eating better lately, maybe a second growth spurt?”

Su Xing tried to brush it off casually.

But the truth was that Su Xing was already around 1.8 meters tall with a slender build, and now, having broken through in his Body Refinement Cultivation Level, his height should have reached about 1.83 meters.

Jin Congxue, seeing Su Xing’s discomfort, chuckled lightly and teased:

“Su Xing, my little brother, why are you so nervous? Are you still a fledgling? Do you need your sister to help you out?”
