章節 9: Continuous Simulations
Bheem suddenly got a lot of information about the 'basic asura path' including his attempts to emulate it. Once he became clear-headed again, he observed Arthur who was cultivating nearby, and found that his energy path was different from Marcus's.
This small amount of experience is not enough to fully understand the profoundness of the basic asura path. Bheem looked at the remaining points on his interface
[Points: 950]
It was enough for 19 more times, hopefully, I can master the technique and make it mine by then.
"Simulate"
"Would you like to start the life simulation" came the system's prompt reply.
"Yes!!"
[Life Simulation has been activated]
[You have decided to cultivate and create a new path for yourself. While Arthur refining the demonic energy in his body, you try to activate the basic asura path.]
[Arthur continues his aggressive approach the next day, while your mind and effort are in trying to make the blood energy move similar to Marcus. But it's a failure like last time as the human body and sword body are actually very different.]
[Two days later, due to absorbing a lot of blood power, Arthur loses control of himself and utilizing this opportunity you demonize and seize control of Arthur's body. Arthur has one surplus node when compared to Marcus. You try to rotate the energy in Arthur's body in accordance with the basic asura path.]
[Even though it was hard in the beginning, you slowly managed to isolate the extra node and establish an active asura energy path. The result is very fast as you gain complete control of the host body and sit cross-legged to cultivate. After about 100 cycles of cultivation, Arthur completely wakes up]
[He came to realize there is another soul in control of his body, even though he can easily take control back, noticing that soul didn't seem to have any malicious intentions he observed what was happening within his body and outside. He was shocked to see the sinister aura that gave him so much trouble was being actively refined into his body. As a result, his body seems to be healing.]
[He had incurred a lot of injuries while escaping from Marcus and in the subsequent survival in the forests till now. But thanks to the blood energy, it was all being healed and his energy seems to be shifting into a more advanced form. It felt both beautiful and evil. But it was causing him slight pain as well because one of the nodes in his energy field was isolated which resulted in his energy field being not stable.]
[Gradually all the energy in his body was refined into the new form, and the other soul disappeared. He guess it was from his sword, as there was no other person next to him. It was probably a sword spirit, and as its master, it came out to help cure him.]
[At the same time, this incident forced Arthur to realize how much of a double-edged weapon blood energy is. Although the problem was temporarily stopped with his energy being converted into the new form. The colorless energy had turned into a vermillion red color. It felt beautiful, evil, and also majestic. He knew right away that this energy was of a higher level than basic.]
[Arthur was conflicted about his "demon sword" as he didn't have much interaction with it. Moreover, he didn't know how to do it. But he had heard of legends, where it was said that powerful swords have spirits that are as intelligent and powerful as those peak existences. The ability to recover as a low-grade magic tool was a sign of it, but sadly it seems the sword had taken too much damage, and hence it probably won't level up.]
[Arthur was more respectful of his sword and decided to replace the broken scabbard with one more fitting to the sword's majesty. Arthur decided that after every hunting day he would take a day's rest to digest the blood energy and convert it into his new energy.]
[You were very pleased with this change, as now you had a living sample working on the cultivation technique. You could see that due to the discrepancy in the number of nodes Arthur was facing a much harder time than Marcus. Plus he had to risk cultivation deviation, which in severe cases can cause death]
[You didn't want to create nodes in your sword body as that could result in your destruction, and on the other hand, you didn't know how to refine it. For now, you could only give up on cultivation]
[After a few days, as Arthur was moving through the woods in search of prey, he happen to hear the sounds of battle and cries in the forest path, Arthur decides to take a look. He found some bandits had ambushed a merchant group. Since he had been in the NewMoon Woodlands for so long he could easily recognize them.
They were the black raven bandits, who were based in an abandoned watchtower. The Bandit leader Logan was fighting against a silver-haired middle-aged noble. Even though the noble's energy level was slightly weaker he was still able to fight Logan to a standstill. Amazingly he even found an opportunity to counter-kill some bandits every now and then, infuriating Logan.]
[Arthur decided to take this chance to wipe out the bandits as they would have to clash sooner or later as both of their bases are quite close. Under Arthur's swift attacks, it was a one-sided massacre. Logan was thoroughly terrified to find another powerful character here today.
Logan repeatedly tried to shake off the early stage level two noble and but the man knew if he let this snake go, he would have to always watch his back in the future. Soon Arthur joined the fray and managed to slay Logan.]
[The merchant convoy had lost half the guards in this endeavor, they would have been wiped out if not for Arthur's assistance. The noble was the head of the group. He looked very miserable but thankfully there were no fatal injuries and would get well in a few days.
His name was Victor Capell. He was a Baron from Lumia city and was on his way back toward it. his family had come along on the trip and that was what attracted Logan's evil intentions.]
[Victor also hoped to invite Arthur to protect them on the journey back to Lumia city, Arthur agreed but he wanted to make a detour to the bandit's base before that. As Black ravens were quite notorious and had been active for some time now. As the ambush team was completely wiped out after Arthur arrived, he hoped to raid their den.]
[Victor offered to help Arthur, and hence the company soon attacked the watchtower and killed the remaining bandits. There were only about five thousand gold coins there, and a small pile of resources, which disappointed Arthur. Victor didn't want any share of the loot as he was very grateful for Arthur's earlier help.]
[Arthur traveled with Victor and his family, wife, Rowena Capell, and daughter Lili Capell. Rowena was a peak stage level 1 mage apprentice. it was thanks to her their defense line had held for so long under the bandit's offense.]
[During the journey Arthur learned many details from Victor. Firstly there are academies in Holy Aslan Empire which teach transcendent cultivation techniques that will allow you to upgrade your basic energy into a more powerful one and also learn battle skills. It was because he had attended the academy that he was able to last so long and decrease the bandits' number even while fighting Logan.]
[Once they reached Lumia, due to Baron Victor's help Arthur was able to avail the services of a well-known blacksmith and refined you into a top-quality mid-grade magic tool. You paid good attention to the process and learned much. Thanks to it your lifespan was greatly extended.]
[Despite Victor's invitation, Arthur decided to return to Donestone town. Before leaving, Victor informed Arthur to rush back in two months' time as the top academies of the Holy Aslan Empire would be conducting a recruitment exam. As Arthur was very young and already a mid-grade level 2, he had a high chance of being chosen by the top four.]
[After two weeks of arduous journey Arthur, whose strength had finally reached peak stage level two, arrived at berry village. He was saddened to see that all the villagers had been punished by the Silvercolt family. Most of them had become slaves to their own land due to it.]
[After a brief scuffle, Arthur managed to kill Marcus and all the deacons posted at berry village. After that, he charged into Donestone town and fought with Baron Herman. He was not able to kill Herman and had to run away in an injured state, but Baron Herman's condition was worse. Due to the hounds of Herman, Arthur sought refuge in the Capell family.]
[Even though they were weaker, they was not much difference in power with the Silvercolt family, especially with the addition of Arthur, hence Herman could only make threats and back off]
[After a month of recuperation, and cultivation, Arthur was in his peak form and successfully managed to enter Saint Rodin Academy.]
[Even though the Silvercolt family tried to get Arthur kicked out, their connections were powerless before the academy. Herman's son Patrick managed to enter the Heavenly Sword academy, which was another one of the top four academies.]
[Arthur tried to match up cultivation techniques to fix his energy field without losing strength. In the end, he chose the cultivation technique called Holy Cross, it had a great suppression effect against demonic powers and also matched with the number of energy nodes in his field.]
[A year after he joined the academy, he broke through to level three, Arthur immediately returned to Lumia city and wanted to go challenge Baron Herman, but Victor informed him he would be a fugitive if he fought a private battle. He had to issue a letter of challenge through the government. Unfortunately, Baron Herman's son was now a member of Heavenly Sword and thus they would help them out.]
[ Baron Herman came to know of Arthur's arrival in Lumia and slaughtered the entire Berry village on a false charge, thus infuriating Arthur. In his anger, Arthur charged toward the Silvercolt family alone. Unfortunately, there were more than four level three peak stage persons laying in ambush. Arthur fought valiantly and eventually died.]
[Facing four high-level magic tools, you had already been on your last breath, and you broke down into pieces.]
[This simulation has ended!]
"I am quite excited to see what achievements I will receive"
[The simulation has ended, please choose one of the rewards.]
[One: Strong Heart. (B-Grade Skill. Increases host endurance by 1.5 times .]
[Two: Sword Energy at the time of your death (Value: 1254)]
[Three: Insights you have gained in the basic asura path]
[Four: A partial memory fragment from the simulation]
[Five: 5000 gold coins obtained from black ravens in the simulation]
"Even though it is a very good skill, I will have to forgo it for the memory fragment, after all, I was able to see the refining process with great clarity. With enough practice inside simulations, I might be able to refine the nodes needed for cultivation."
"System I choose the fourth option"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host. The memory fragment will be delivered directly to the host's brain. Please brace yourself."
Afterward, a whole new memory appeared in Bheem's mind. The new memory included details of the Holy Cross technique and the blacksmith's refining skill.
After he regained clarity Bheem decided to simulate again.
"Would you like to start the life simulation" He heard the usual cold and unfeeling voice ringing in his mind.
"Yes!!"
