"What kind of person are you!"
A roar echoed.
In front of Chen An, two people watched as their comrades fell, their eyes filled with anger.
Unfortunately, their words did not receive a response.
A long knife fell, leaving a long scar as if trying to split a person in half.
With a light thud, another person was cut down by Chen An, falling to the ground.
"Stop the nonsense!"
A figure dashed forward, with sounds of confrontation echoing around.
Amidst the chaotic sounds, faint shouts could be heard.
A strong arm reached out and grabbed the last person by the neck, slamming them forcefully to the ground.
Boom!
The ground was directly concaved by the force, leaving a deep mark.
The person was struck by the force and immediately perished, appearing lifeless.
"A bit of a waste of energy."
As Chen An breathed a sigh of relief seeing all four individuals dead.
Since the beginning, he had been on high alert, fearing that one slip-up could allow these four people to escape.
That would have caused trouble.
Fortunately, the young man had fought with these four people before, although he was not their match, he had drained their energy.
Otherwise, Chen An would not have had it so easy.
Relaxing his mind, confirming the death of the four, Chen An nervously approached to finish them off and then began inspecting his spoils.
He bypassed the young man, his eyes fixed on the girl lying on the ground.
Laying quietly on the ground, the girl's face looked pale, devoid of any color.
In every aspect, her complexion was too pale, unlike that of a normal person.
However, she was indeed alive.
Chen An was certain of that.
Standing in place, he stared at the girl's appearance, feeling conflicted.
That strange feeling was still present.
There was something on this child that he needed.
But how could he take it?
It would have been easy enough to kill her directly, as he had done before.
But unfortunately, she was still a child.
Frowning, Chen An finally tried reaching out, carefully grasping the girl's hand.
A chilling sensation rushed into his palm, feeling as if he was holding a block of ice, so cold.
Before Chen An could react, a unique breath emerged once again.
A familiar sensation surfaced.
"Obtain a strand of realm energy crystal."
Familiar words appeared in front of him, presented in such a way.
Looking at the familiar subtitles, Chen An lowered his head and looked ahead.
Name: Chen An
Attributes: Strength (2), Body (1.8), Spirit (2.4)
Source Energy: 0
Inheritance: Five Tiger Blade Technique
Projection: Available
Upgrade template emerged, and the projection column had changed.
"It's done."
Chen An felt relieved in his heart.
This was a pleasant surprise.
He had thought it would take at least two more months to gather enough, but now it was done.
And at that moment, Chen An also noticed other changes.
Before him, the girl's complexion quickly changed from pale to a more normal color.
Even the cold sensation on her arm had disappeared.
This change surprised Chen An.
Without a doubt, there were issues with the girl, which had caused her to appear strange before.
The cause of her problem was the realm energy crystal.
Now that Chen An had absorbed that energy, she had naturally returned to normal.
He wondered what would happen next.
With various thoughts flashing through his mind, Chen An, without hesitation, left the scene.
Although it was already outside the city, with few people around, it didn't mean no one would come by.
If he stayed here for too long and was accidentally noticed, it would cause trouble.
Chen An didn't want any trouble.
However, little did he know that shortly after he left, the young man who had been lying on the ground as if dead began to move.
Sensing Chen An's departure, he blinked, only opening his eyes when he confirmed there was no one around.
"What formidable skills! I never expected such a young hero to exist in Feng City," he said, looking in the direction Chen An had left.
Then, he quickly walked over, made sure the girl was unharmed, then breathed a sigh of relief, and swiftly carried her away.
Soon after, a gust of wind blew through the quiet place, carrying the scent of blood that lingered.
There, four bodies lay quietly on the ground, maintaining their previous postures.
Clang!
In a quiet room, a crisp sound rang out.
A tall middle-aged man looked at the person in front of him, his face grim, "A young man who hasn't even touched the edge of refining energy, taking a young girl with him. Not only did you fail to capture him for me, but you also lost four disciples in the process!"
"What are you all good for?"
"A bunch of idiots!"
Standing there with a stern face, he looked awe-inspiring, but when he became angry, it was terrifying, making people afraid to approach.
Standing in front of the middle-aged man was a burly man, tall and sturdy, clearly not someone to mess with. But at the moment, he stood there in silence, not daring to retort.
After scolding for a while, He Chang also became tired and sat down on a chair, looking at the person in front of him, he sighed before speaking, "I don't want to hear any more nonsense."
"Now tell me, do you have any specific information?"
"The master doesn't need to be so angry."
The man looked at He Chang, then carefully spoke up, "Just an ordinary thief with average martial arts skills, is it necessary to be so upset?"
"You don't understand."
He Chang turned around, coldly looking at the man in front of him, "If it was just an ordinary person, why would the officials react so strongly?"
"Did you find anything on those followers?"
"I've personally checked, they had many knife wounds, the killer should be good at using a knife."
The man hesitated for a moment before continuing, "If I'm not mistaken, that person should be using the Five Tiger Blade Technique of the Three Rivers Gang, and he's extremely skilled."
"These four followers are all experts in the gang, but they couldn't even escape from that person. His martial arts skills are at least at the level of refining the body."
"The Three Rivers Gang?"
He Chang's voice rang out loudly, coldly speaking.
"It's most likely."
The man nodded, then added, "If it's really the work of the Three Rivers Gang, the people are most likely already in their hands."
"What a gang."
He Chang chuckled, "Well, this time, let's resolve old conflicts together."
"Some time ago, wasn't that old fellow Mei An injured?"
"It's perfect timing to deal with him now, to see how much he weighs."
"Why wait any longer?"
The man hesitated, showing a look of doubt, "It may be too rushed, the members below may not be ready."
"There's no need to prepare anymore."
He Chang shook his head, "Rest assured."
"For so many years, the Three Rivers Gang has occupied the best locations in Feng City. Our Haisha Gang only has some rundown places no one else wants."
"Now, it's time to change the fate of Feng City!"
He smirked, as if he had thought of something.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Chen An had returned to his residence.
Closing the door behind him, he sat quietly in his room, looking at the display in front of him.
Name: Chen An
Attributes: Strength (2), Body (1.8), Spirit (2.4)
Source Energy: 0
Inheritance: Five Tiger Blade Technique
Projection: Available
The upgrade template reappeared, and the projection column was now fully charged and ready for use.
Seeing this, Chen An couldn't help but smile, feeling hopeful.
Without further hesitation, he began to experiment.
In a short while, the familiar selection interface appeared again.
"Control, Simulate"
Looking at these two options, Chen An once again attempted to control.
If he guessed correctly, being able to control would allow him to have more autonomy and not be as passive.
But unfortunately, when he selected this option, the familiar excruciating pain resurfaced.
The control option quickly turned gray, unable to be selected.
"It's still not working."
Seeing the changes in front of him, Chen An shook his head, trying to forget the lingering pain in his mind, but he didn't feel too disappointed.
"Compared to last time, it seems to be better."
Comparing the two experiences, Chen An pondered.
In the previous simulation, he had not yet practiced martial arts.
If this was indeed the reason, then as Chen An's strength continued to grow, perhaps one day he would be able to try it out for real.
Sitting still, he thought so.
Clearing his mind of various thoughts, Chen An then looked to the other side.
If direct control was not possible, then simulation would have to do.
Soon, a faint light enveloped him, and the unique feeling reappeared again.
"You were born in an ordinary mountain village."
"At the age of five, your mother died from a sudden illness."
"At ten, you happened to save an outsider in the mountains and then became his disciple, learning medicine."
"At seventeen, you married and had your first child the following year."
"At twenty, you set up your own business in the town and became a doctor."
"At thirty-six, a plague broke out, and despite your efforts to treat the patients, you got infected yourself and were killed by soldiers."
"Simulation completed."
"Rating: Your life was unremarkable, although you died from the plague, you became famous in all directions and were later praised by the authorities."
"You have gained twenty points of source energy."
Rows of subtitles appeared, followed by fragmented memories, not complete.
After a long while, Chen An came to his senses, feeling speechless. "I died trying to cure a plague?!"
This death was different from the last time.
But the gains were greater.
Last time, he only got five points of source energy, but this time, he got twenty points directly.

"What kind of person are you!"
A roar echoed.
In front of Chen An, two people watched as their comrades fell, their eyes filled with anger.
