Accumulation

Early in the morning, as the sun just rose, Fang Yuan sat cross-legged on his bed, controlling his breath and meditating. Since learning the written language from Yang Fan, he had moved out of the inn and rented a modest house.

"Ten days have passed, and I've finally grasped some insights into the Sun and Moon Revolving Technique."

With a subtle movement of his thoughts, Fang Yuan slowed his breathing, then opened his tightly shut eyes.

"With the help of this martial art, combined with simultaneous cultivation of the Turtle Snake Coil, I should be able to enter the Nurture Inner Breath realm in no time."

Thinking about this, Fang Yuan felt a mixture of joy and excitement. The speed of his progress was astonishing, even surpassing the fastest among the Fang family, who took almost two years to break through to the Inner Breath realm.

"These two fundamentally different martial arts systems, when combined, create a terrifying power. I absolutely cannot let anyone know this secret."

Fang Yuan believed that if he exposed the Sun and Moon Revolving Technique in the real world, powerful individuals would likely try to control him.

"However, in the simulated world, I won't truly die. Even if exposed, it doesn't matter."

"And once the martial arts system from the real world appears in this world, the impact will be significant. By then, I shouldn't be short of simulated points anymore..."

Fang Yuan rubbed his chin, contemplating, "But it's not the time to reveal the martial arts system from the real world now."

"Maybe I can release some incomplete knowledge of the real world's martial arts as a foundation for establishing my organization?"

Thinking about building an organization, Fang Yuan considered that people would follow someone either due to shared ideals or for personal gain. And for him, offering personal gain seemed like the practical choice.

With these thoughts, Fang Yuan stood up, starting to practice the Turtle Snake Coil. However, these matters were still distant for him. He had not yet broken through to the Nurture Inner Breath realm, and he lacked the strength to establish an organization.

His current priority was to quickly break through to the Nurture Inner Breath realm, enabling him to try building an organization and gaining more simulated points.

As the days passed, Fang Yuan kept a low profile, quietly practicing martial arts every day. He didn't attract any attention, and during this time, his progress in martial arts was astonishing.

At this point, he had already vaguely sensed that he was on the verge of a breakthrough.

In his room, Fang Yuan sat cross-legged and adjusted his breath according to the Sun and Moon Revolving Technique's method, guiding his inner breath. With his movements, a faint warmth began to emerge in his lower abdomen.

Exhaling forcefully, Fang Yuan's breathing suddenly became heavy, and the previously barely perceptible warmth in his body instantly solidified, transitioning from an elusive feeling to something tangible.

"I've broken through."

Sensing the changes within himself, a hint of joy appeared on Fang Yuan's face. In just a month, he had transformed from an ordinary person with no knowledge of martial arts into a martial artist in the Nature realm.

"This speed, even those peerless geniuses might not be able to achieve."

With a passing thought, Fang Yuan couldn't help but smile. Although the aptitude of this body was average, with the two different martial arts systems, his progress was remarkable, shocking those who witnessed it.

"Whether in the real or simulated world, I finally have a foundation."

Fang Yuan took a deep breath, got up from the bed, and stretched his limbs.

"Now that I have successfully entered the initial stage of the Nurture Inner Breath realm, achieving the Initial and Comprehensive stages won't take long. It's time to consider establishing the organization."

"The organization I want to build needs to be discreet, as I am just a martial artist in the Nurture Inner Breath realm and shouldn't attract too much attention."

Fang Yuan paced, pondering, "I'm running out of money now. It's time for another round of robbing the rich to help the poor."

After all, he was just a servant in the Zhao family, and the combined inheritance from Wang Cheng and his deceased parents didn't amount to much. The funds were running low, sustaining Fang Yuan's current lifestyle.

"In that case..." Fang Yuan's eyes gleamed with thought.

Robbing the rich to help the poor was his old profession, and he had killed many wrongdoers during the previous simulation. It seemed he was about to return to his old ways.

With money, he could proceed with other plans. With a passing thought, Fang Yuan walked out of his house. He already had a suitable target in mind. Despite keeping a low profile, he had investigated some details about Willow Leaf Town during this time.

"Wang Family, a tyrant in Willow Leaf Town, acts wantonly with no regard for rules. The family head, Wang Shou, is said to be ruthless, and it's rumored that he has beaten no fewer than ten servants to death."

"Relying on his power and wealth, many common people have been driven to ruin by him."

Fang Yuan recalled the intelligence he had gathered and sneered inwardly.

"In that case, I'll choose you to be my funder."

Fang Yuan naturally wouldn't choose to kill the innocent. He had already investigated, and there were no martial artists in the Wang Family. They only had some household servants and no other forces.

After all, martial arts were rare, and many small families lacked a martial arts inheritance. Fang Yuan had learned about these situations in his previous simulation.

In that simulation, he had visited some martial artists and even went to some martial arts schools. Unfortunately, he hadn't learned anything substantial. Each martial artist kept their martial arts strictly confidential and rarely shared them with outsiders.

"With my current martial arts, it's a piece of cake to wipe out the Wang Family without any martial artists guarding it. It's effortless."

Don't be fooled by Fang Yuan's recent breakthrough to the Nurture Inner Breath realm; he seemed weak, but practicing two different martial arts had enhanced his strength beyond what was apparent.

Moreover, in his previous life, he had practiced some basic swordsmanship and blade arts while escorting goods. Due to his disregard for life and death, his proficiency in these techniques had progressed rapidly, accompanied by a hint of unabashed killing intent that could affect people's minds.
