Chapter 100: Recharging for the Martial Arts Side Simulation

Beloved things will grow flesh and blood from struggle.

Filling the hollow chambers of the heart.

Staining the colorless bones.

The power of love might not be infinite, but for some, it is the only motivation that keeps them alive.

"The Courtyard seems a bit warmer today."

Xu Xi looked out the window; the bleakness of autumn had become less noticeable.

Was it because the joy of reunion had diluted the cold?

Or more specifically, it was because of the two Supreme existences that even the withered silence of autumn dared not approach.

"Mo Li, I'll take you to meet someone."

After finishing his conversation with Xu Moli.

After resolving their mutual grievances and learning about the girl's recent situation.

Xu Xi led her out of the bedroom, wanting his younger sister and the witch to get to know each other, to avoid the intense situation from the dream where they fought tooth and nail.

However, after the two met.

The quiet atmosphere was like an invisible hurricane.

Quickly sweeping through every corner of the Courtyard.

The warmth faded rapidly, and something colder than autumn arrived—a chill that reached the depths of the soul, making one shiver inexplicably.

Xu Moli and Klisa stood quietly, their gazes crossing over Xu Xi's body.

Every look and every movement appeared exceptionally indifferent.

"I am Xu Moli, elder brother's younger sister."

"I am Klisa Christina, Mentor's Disciple."

Under Xu Xi's watch.

The two girls' "first meeting" ended abruptly.

They seemed completely indifferent to each other's existence; after the simple introductions, the atmosphere fell into a lull again.

Both sides tacitly refrained from mentioning that battle in the starry sky.

No, it couldn't exactly be called a lull.

The witch made a move.

She brought over hot tea and desserts. The tea had a rich aftertaste and the desserts were delicious, but the witch had only prepared a portion for Xu Xi.

…

Afterwards, Xu Xi once asked the witch how she viewed Xu Moli.

The witch replied: "…She feels like a pitiful kind-hearted person."

A pitiful kind-hearted person?

Hearing Klisa's response, Xu Xi hesitated to speak, feeling that this answer was a bit subtle.

However, at least it was certain that Klisa had no ill will toward Mo Li's arrival.

And so.

Xu Xi found another time to ask his now-grown sister for her opinion on Klisa.

His sister's answer was even more subtle: "…A lucky one with good fortune, but I don't dislike her."

A lucky one? Lucky in what way?

Xu Xi realized that there seemed to have been an intersection between his sister and his Disciple long ago, but fortunately, they harbored no ill will toward each other.

Xu Xi's hanging heart finally settled: "It seems the scene of them fighting in the dream won't happen."

"But how exactly did Mo Li and Klisa meet?"

"Could it be that they met within the Myriad Heavens and Realms after both achieving the status of Supreme?"

Xu Xi speculated but didn't dwell on it.

Past matters were no longer important.

What was more important now was to set his sights on the future.

…

Xu Xi prepared a bedroom for Mo Li to live in. There were plenty of empty rooms in the new Courtyard, so even if four or five more people stayed, it wouldn't be a problem.

However, unlike Klisa, who lived in the Courtyard all day.

Xu Moli's appearances were intermittent.

She often focused on the grand cause of Earth's Ascension, constantly working along the Long River of Time so that her main body could descend.

When she did appear.

She would either stay by Xu Xi's side or study the dragon blood grass in the Courtyard.

During her childhood in the Heavenly Sword Sect, Xu Moli had also loved flowers and plants, but she gave up that hobby after later upheavals.

Now, under Xu Xi's influence, she had inexplicably picked it up again.

"What a beautiful and peaceful life."

In the Courtyard.

Xu Xi sighed with emotion, taking a light sip of the hot tea handed to him by the witch.

Peaceful and tranquil days like this were exactly what he wanted most—well, if one ignored the anomalies in the Collection Cabinet.

*Swish—*

The grey rekindling Magic Wand moved to the first position.

*Swish—*

The sugar jar became the first again.

At some point, the Collection Cabinet fell into a state of Schrödinger's first position; every time Xu Xi opened or closed his eyes, the first slot would change.

*Gulp, gulp.* Xu Xi drank the hot tea in one go.

He ignored the anomalies of the Collection Cabinet.

At first, he had tried to manage it, telling the witch and his sister to restrain themselves a bit.

The witch was very obedient, and his sister was very sensible; they would never make things difficult for Xu Xi.

Consequently.

When Xu Xi was in the bedroom, the Collection Cabinet would become extremely quiet, staying exactly as it should be.

But when Xu Xi was away, like now in the living room, the silent rivalry would quietly begin.

"The children have grown up; they're hard to manage now."

Xu Xi set down the teacup; the bottom of the cup lightly collided with the tabletop, letting out a faint vibration.

He summoned the simulator panel that only he could see.

He began to think seriously.

What world should he choose for the third simulation?

"With my current cultivation speed, whether it's Ascension to Immortal Ascension on the cultivation side or immortal godhood on the magic side, it's all just a matter of time."

"But one can never have too much strength."

"Since the simulator can help me possess multiple extraordinary systems simultaneously, it would be a waste not to make good use of it."

Xu Xi pondered.

Flipping through the introductions of different worlds.

He was wealthy now; whatever Anchor Medium was needed, he had already prepared them in his storage space. He only needed to choose a world to simulate.

"Cultivating immortality is practicing the Dao, allowing me to perceive the workings of heaven and earth."

"Magic meditation makes my spirit clear and allows for stable control over the world's elements."

"These two paths have almost completely analyzed the essence of the world. The system for the third simulation should ideally not overlap with these directions."

Thinking.

Searching.

Comparing.

After a round of filtering, Xu Xi finally set his sights on "Xuanhuan" and "Martial Arts."

The Xuanhuan and Martial Arts sides are relatively unique among the many extraordinary systems.

Because these two systems place particular emphasis on the Physical Body.

One punch blasts open the path of life and death; Blood-Qi dominates the heavens and suppresses the Nine Serenities.

All Daos.

All Laws.

All converge within a single punch or kick.

This was why Xu Xi chose Xuanhuan and Martial Arts.

"Spiritual Roots allow me to perceive the Qi of heaven and earth, and meditation lets my spirit pass through without obstruction. On the path of a mage, I have already traveled a great distance."

"Essence, Qi, and Spirit complement each other. Right now, my biggest shortcoming is the 'Essence' of the body."

Xu Xi deliberated for a moment.

From the two options before him, he locked onto the "Martial Arts" column.

Though both are extraordinary systems for tempering the Physical Body.

There are differences between them.

Xuanhuan is mostly a blend of worldly Laws and a powerful Physical Body, while Blood-Qi Martial Arts focuses more on tapping into the hidden treasures of the human body, making it suitable for Xu Xi to integrate Essence, Qi, and Spirit and walk the bright path of a composite extraordinary system.

"Well then, let's start recharging."

Xu Xi's finger lightly brushed the Storage Ring.

Pouring out a pile of extraordinary items from the Martial Arts side.
