Chapter 41: 041 Turns Out I’m a Swordsmanship Genius

“[At the age of twenty-two, you, accompanied by Ling Ling, journey to Yuzhou City. On the way, you save Jiao Shumo and receive a treasure map. However, you’re discovered by Cao Yiyi, leading to a conflict.]”

“[You take Su Qingzhen and Ling Ling to Divine City, joining Tianxin Martial Arts Hall.]”

“[Two years later, Su Qingzhen’s identity is discovered, and days later, a mysterious powerful opponent kills you. You died at the age of twenty-four.]”

“[You and Ling Ling set off for the Divine City and join the Tianxin Martial Arts Hall.]”

“[Struggling to make a breakthrough, you seek advice from Cheng Tianxin, who suggests you find the opportunity to break through in battle. As a result, you challenge others at every turn.]”

“[One year later, in a spar, you were killed. You died at the age of twenty-four.]”

“C …During a face-off with a disciple of the Yan Family, you accidentally kill him, only to be killed by an expert of the Yan Family. You died at the age of twenty-five.]”

“[…Your fame grew too great, inciting the dissatisfaction of a disciple from the Lin Family. They sent an expert to assassinate you, bringing your life to an end at the age of twenty-seven.]”

“C …You were murdered by the Shen Family. You died at the age of twenty-eight.]”

After seven simulations without reaching forth grade, Gu Yang’s face nearly turned green.

If it weren’t for the Simulated Life, his life would have been utterly tragic. Even with a fifth-grade cultivation level, he’d have been killed on the streets just a few years later.

The longest he survived was until twenty-eight years old.

After seven simulations, he chose to keep his martial arts experience as the post-simulation rewards.

He had truly reached the peak of the fifth grade. Whether in terms of actual strength or his mastery of saber techniques, he had reached a level that others found hard to match.

He was invincible among those at the fifth grade.

In the later simulations, his death was due to his overwhelming fame and lack of a powerful backer. Jealous noble families sent experts to kill him.

These noble families did not abide by the martial code and sent third rank experts to eliminate him, leaving him with no chance to escape.

“This can’t continue. There are fewer and fewer fifth-grade martial artists who can withstand my three strikes, they can’t put any pressure on me,” Gu Yang realized the problem.

The powerful fifth-grade martial artists were all key cultivation targets of major forces. Gu Yang was unable to even meet them, let alone spar with them.

He had no influential family background, no prestigious mentor. No one considered him a threat.

Even if he joined Tianxin Martial Academy, in a place like Divine City, a second-grader like Cheng Tianxin did not carry much weight among the noble families, thus proving useless.

Gu Yang gritted his teeth, “It looks like I’ll have to take some risks!”

His simulation attempts were limited; he was originally unwilling to take risks. However, after failing the first seven times, it was clear that continuing as before would not lead to a breakthrough.

Changes had to be made.

Just as during his last breakthrough from the seventh grade to the sixth, he had to take on higher-ranked opponents and find the opportunity to break through in life-or-death situations.

“So, who should I choose?”

A thought struck Gu Yang, and he came up with an excellent candidate.

“Would you like to use the Life Simulator? Each use will consume 2000 gold coins.”

“Yes.”
