Chapter 86 - 67: Soaring Strength! A Great Fight Against the Extraordinary! _2
Wang Ping collected his thoughts and chuckled lightly.
“Let’s continue with the simulation. This time, I’ll choose a different path to see if I can break into the Transcendent Realm. If I fail, I’ll focus on increasing my Sword Spirit or other statistics first. I need to enhance my abilities all-round. Otherwise, when the Group Task reappears and my abilities haven’t improved enough, it’ll be quite dangerous.”
As Wang Ping prepared to continue the simulation, sudden notifications from the group chat caught his attention, taking him aback.
“Ding, Wang Shuqi (74) has joined the group chat.”
“Ding, Ye Xiaofan (75) has joined the group chat.”
“Ding, Yu Qiang (76) has joined the group chat.”
“Ding, Qin Tian (77) has joined the group chat.”
A month later, new members finally joined. And this time, four of them joined at one go. The group chat is getting more intense.”
Wang Ping exclaimed deeply.
“I’m just curious about how many of these newcomers will survive.”
As he muttered this, Wang Ping opened the group chat page.
Right now, the group chat was bustling with activity. Most of the old members were sending messages.
Welcome messages came flooding in.
Liu Mei was kindly explaining the usual rules.
And then, the newbies were freaked out and overwhelmed. Wang Shuqi (74): ‘Just asking, can we opt out of the group chat?”
Fang Yun (3): “Ah, good question… obviously, you can’t!”
Qin Tian (77): “Stop being such a coward! What’s a little death? This is a rare chance to explore another reality, to make a big splash in an Exoteric World. It’s way better than staying on the doomed Earth as a wage slave.”
Zhang Hu (5): “Well, newbie, you’re quite gutsy. More courageous than other newbies.’
Yu Qiang (76): “Do you guys still have time to talk? Smart people would already be getting their equipment.”
Ye Xiaofan (75): “Good grief, going for a gun…what is it that you do exactly?”
Yu Qiang (76): “Mercenary, a word to the wise.”
Ye Xiaofan (75): “Color me impressed, I’m envious!”
Glancing at the group chat, Wang Ping raised an eyebrow in interest.
So this time, even a mercenary has joined huh? Interesting.
He’s perhaps the first person to bring with him a modern weapon when crossing over to another reality. I wonder how his fate will unfold.
Next, Wang Ping turned his attention to Ye Xiaofan, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
Ye Xiaofan, surname Ye. The character ‘Ye t makes him think of Emperor Ye.
A protagonist’s common surname, a force to be reckoned with.
Not to mention, Wang Ping also recollected Ye Chen from his previous life simulations.
Back then, he surmised that this guy was the protagonist template but he never showed up in the following simulations. It was as if he had disappeared into the crowd, or maybe he was dead.
The system wouldn’t have missed any significant character after all.
Besides, the surname ‘Lin’ is also commonly found among leading characters. Yet, Lin Yifei had worthwhile performances in life simulations, but he didn’t have any connection to the protagonist template.
“Guess I’ve read too much web fiction and got affected by it.”
Wang Ping mumbled to himself.
Then, instead of participating in the group chat like the others, Wang Ping chose to quietly observe.
As for the newcomers, it would still take some time before they crossed over. Whether they lived or died will only be revealed by then.
Even if they survive the initial stage, their chances of long-term survival still remain uncertain.
“System, I want to initiate the paid simulation again.”
Wang Ping spoke in his mind.
“Ding, Paid simulation initiated. It will cost you 2000 low-tier spirit stones.”
“Ding, Initiating the life simulation. Refreshing talents… Unfortunately, the host didn’t refresh any talents.”
The system’s voice echoed in his head.
“No talent…
Wang Ping’s expression twitched slightly.
This luck, is apparently bad.
However, he could only console himself, claiming it to be a minor cut that would soon yield an outstanding talent.
“Ding, Initiation of the life simulation…”
Once again, the system’s voice resonated, the familiar luminescent screen appeared, and text started emerging.
At this, Wang Ping composed himself, looking forward expectantly.
“[Daya calendar 482, you have successfully advanced to the half-step Transcendent Realm and entered Xia Forbidden Land, acquiring a spiritual tool.]”
“The speed of breakthrough to the half- step Transcendent Realm was quite fast this time. As expected, Cultivation Skills not only enhance combat strength but also greatly boosts cultivation speed and the ability to overcome challenges. ”
Upon reading the first line, Wang Ping could not help but express his astonishment.
“[Daya calendar 511, you slain a Demonic Cultivator.]
“[Daya calendar 545, Supreme Elder and Second Supreme Elder passed away.
Bai Tianhong attempted to head overseas, but you blocked him.]”
“[Daya calendar 580, your cultivation of Sword Spirit reached 50% peak capacity.]”
“[Daya calendar 620, Lin Yifei was forcefully slain by the Empress, and the Lin family was destroyed.]”
“[Daya calendar 655, Empress Xia Yuan initiated a war. A year later, Xia swallowed two nations.]”
“[Daya calendar 660, Xia united the Profound Turtle Continent. You successfully comprehended 60% of Sword Spirit. You felt that the time has come and once again entered Xia Forbidden Land, hoping to find an opportunity to break through to the Transcendent Realm.]”
“[However, the Forbidden Land is too dangerous. Despite being unstoppable in your current state, you nearly perished in the Forbidden Land, which alarmed you.]”
“[As a result, you started recuperating and continued your intensive cultivation in seclusion.]”
“[Daya calendar 720, you tried to comprehend 70% Sword Spirit, but got stuck at the peak of 60%, unable to make any progress. You let out a silent sigh.
Achieving 70% Sword Spirit had already reached the Great Completion Domain. Without the right opportunity, it is very difficult to comprehend through Sword Enlightenment..]”
