regretted it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He regretted coming in so rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He regretted rushing in so boldly without learning the various combat skills of a biological warrior!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The era of the great interstellar voyage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Biological starships were indeed the main theme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The importance of biological warriors could never be ignored!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost all biological captains would choose to use their starships to solve everything when facing enemies...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was indeed correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if your starship was destroyed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you happened to survive by luck, what then, wait for death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While strengthening one’s space warfare ability, one’s own strength also had to be taken into account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One’s own strength was the final red line for survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly powerful biological warriors...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were absolutely terrifying existences capable of plucking stars and grabbing the moon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, War King-level powerhouses!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could fly in space briefly relying solely on their physical bodies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zi'an had once seen a video.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The content of the video was a large-scale war between the border and the Insectoid race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A super powerhouse of unknown level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't piloting his starship; it was unknown if his starship was destroyed or what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed the void directly, arriving at superluminal speed in front of an Insectoid starship that was much larger than a cruiser, and with one punch...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly just one punch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He punched that Insectoid starship until it exploded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deeply shocked Xu Zi'an’s soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was from that moment on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Xu Zi'an truly began to value his own cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, saying more... that was in the case where the starship was destroyed, or there was no starship around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he could solve all problems with a starship, Xu Zi'an would never play at close-quarters combat with the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cannonballs booming, that was what was truly satisfying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Xu Zi'an really regretted it now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Combat Simulation] was actually a battlefield too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a close-quarters battlefield at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was very coincidental was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His comrades were actually the same ones from the space warfare simulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was holding different weapons, fighting in a bloody battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still that group of Insectoids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Insectoids looked quite different from humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, they were two or three meters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, they had many hands and many feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, in human eyes, none of the Insectoids looked normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason they were called the Insectoid race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, they called themselves the Insectoid race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, although they were called the Insectoid race and possessed some insect characteristics, their body structure was that of a human body and blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus they possessed high intelligence, so they were called the Insectoid race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zi'an had just come in for a little while before he was tortured to death by the Insectoids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tortured to death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his side’s personnel were all killed, and only he was left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Insectoids actually tore his body apart bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like death by a thousand cuts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That extreme, bone-deep, soul-deep pain made Xu Zi'an’s body tremble crazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took him a full three days of system simulation time to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second time, Xu Zi'an learned his lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a situation where he was bound to lose, he directly gave himself a slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time he finally had the heart to pay attention to the teaching from the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teaching was as meticulous and comprehensive as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one lesson, without any combat skills, he still learned a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, whether it was combat skills or not, it didn't seem that important in this face-to-face life-and-death struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If combat skills were compared to a knife, then this kind of true life-and-death struggle was what truly trained a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a knife would instead affect one’s training of killing techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only in this kind of bloody battle where it was either you die or I die, could one truly learn bone-deep combat knowledge, and thoroughly form the muscle memory belonging to oneself for all blocking, dodging, attacking, and how to kill the target in the fastest way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After killing, blocking, and dodging became a human instinct, then picking up the knife of combat skills...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, no matter what he learned, it would be extremely fast, and he would be able to master it quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So truly powerful techniques were fought out time and time again in the absence of any technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zi'an learned very seriously, very, very seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he really didn't want to experience the extreme pain of being tortured to death again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was really thanks to him living two lives, his mental power was strong enough, otherwise, that kind of pain only needed to be experienced once...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would probably have collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his soul was strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his willpower was strong enough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time and time again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zi'an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Threw himself into the slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Into the boundless slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could even face death and ordinary pain without changing his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avoiding being tortured to death became his final bottom line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One year later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zi'an couldn't even remember how many times he had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from the tenth month on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't died even once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the last day of the year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zi'an held an alloy Tang Dao, his figure like a ghost, shuttling among the Insectoids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And every time he brushed past an Insectoid, that Insectoid’s vital parts would definitely suffer heavy damage, and then fall to the ground and die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zi'an’s attacks might look like they had no beauty to speak of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But any move didn't have the slightest bit of redundant action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a slash of eight inches could kill, he wouldn't go even a centimeter further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he could dodge the opponent’s attack, Xu Zi'an would not hesitate to do a donkey roll that had no beauty at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his ultimate goal, or rather his only goal, was only one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To kill every enemy he could see in front of him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flashy moves were just actively seeking death in Xu Zi'an’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the last Insectoid died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn't the slightest change in the expression on Xu Zi'an’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing a dozen or so Insectoids was as if he had done the most insignificant thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he couldn't remember how many times he had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also couldn't remember how many enemies he had killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he would feel nauseous, disgusted, and want to vomit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if his internal organs and brain matter accompanied by a nauseating bloody smell poured down from the top of his head...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably wouldn't even change his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one-year deadline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had finally ended.\u003C\u002Fp>",1130,"2026-06-17T01:12:00.866Z","2026-06-17T02:00:34.645Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
