The scar-faced man's expression changed instantly.
An endless cold wind, carrying snowflakes, had already engulfed his body.
When the flurry of snowflakes finally settled, all that remained was a frozen statue of the scar-faced man.
"This guy is terrifying!" Despite the freezing temperature, Officer Nelson found himself sweating.
"Arrest the rest of them and take them back to the station for questioning!" Officer Nelson shouted.
And just like that, the kidnappers at Blue Power Plant were inexplicably rounded up and taken away.
Meanwhile, Bertram, who was sipping hot tea at the police station, suddenly received a surge of information.
[Reshape Destiny: Facing unbeatable enemies, you chose to strike first and used extremely underhanded tactics, causing the opponents to be captured without resistance. This altered your destiny, meeting the criteria for reshaping fate. Your life experiences and insights into martial arts abilities will now merge with your current self.]
[This simulation difficulty was easy. You will receive a random reward.]
[You have received a Martial Arts Talent Upgrade Stone.]
[Martial Arts Talent Upgrade Stone:
Using this stone will elevate your martial arts talent by one level, with a small chance of awakening a special martial arts physique.]
[This infinite life simulation ends now.
The next simulation will be available in one day.]
First, the process of Bertram continuously improving his combat experience in the dojo during the last simulation flooded into his mind.
Instantly, he felt his combat skills had doubled.
Bertram had previously spent some time in the Dawn Army, and his combat abilities were already above average.
Now, with this opportunity, his skills had doubled again.
Clearly, although his time at the dojo was short, Bertram had gained immensely.
Especially that mysterious girl.
Although they only exchanged ten moves, it was seeing her as a high peak that pushed Bertram to enhance his combat skills in the following days.
Next, the psychic energy in his mind began to change. With a slight movement of his fingers, a silver thread about four feet long emerged.
The silver thread suddenly coiled around a nearby cup, and as it tightened, it left a thin scratch on the cup.
This power was truly remarkable!
The wonders of psychic abilities were not to be underestimated.
In his life simulation, his silver thread should have reached at least five feet.
Now it was only four feet, likely because his level had reached the threshold, but his mental energy was insufficient.
If he continued practicing his psychic abilities, he estimated that in four or five days, he could quickly reach five feet. However, if he had a meditation technique, this time could be cut in half. If he had a specific supplement for mental energy, he could probably reach the same level in less than half an hour.
Resources for training were crucial! Bertram sighed.
Bertram weighed the crystal in his hand.
This was the second time he had obtained a crystal.
The first one was for unlocking psychic abilities, and this second one was for enhancing his martial arts talent.
"I never thought there would be such crystals. I used to worry that with my low martial arts talent, even simulating a lifetime might not break through the E-level. But now, with this crystal, my talent can keep improving. I won't have to worry about hitting a ceiling anymore. It's not impossible to reach S-level one day!" Bertram was thrilled.
He couldn't wait to use the crystal.
The entire crystal turned into a stream of light and entered his body. His flesh began to transform rapidly, and his blood and energy became more intense, almost like the sound of drums beating.
Amid the sound of drums, the clashing of metal could be heard, and faint sword energy seemed to burst forth from his bones, as if it were aiming to pierce through death itself.
A message appeared: Congratulations, your martial arts talent has been upgraded to E-level, and you have acquired the special constitution, the Void Valley Sword Body.
This constitution allows a void valley to form in your dantian, capable of nurturing and housing sword energy.
Bertram felt a new space in his lower abdomen, like a deep, empty valley, but with a faint presence of sword energy slowly being nurtured within.
Each level is divided into ordinary, +, and ++.
Previously, Bertram was just an ordinary F-level, the weakest within the F-level.
As Bertram reveled in his newfound power, he heard commotion outside the police station.
The officers who had gone out on a mission were returning.
Even without asking, Bertram knew the outcome of their mission, thanks to his life simulation ability.
"They've caught the suspects. Now, we need to interrogate them thoroughly to find out where they've hidden Miss Vanessa!" Officer Nelson said sternly.
"When it comes to interrogation, no one has lasted more than half an hour with me!" Officer Nelson declared confidently.
"Miss Whitney, just observe from the side," Officer Nelson said obsequiously to the pretty young girl standing nearby.
He then signaled his subordinates to prepare the interrogation room.
Miss Olson from the Olson Family headed to the interrogation room first.
"Chief, about that student..." The officer guarding Bertram approached Officer Nelson.
"The information that student provided has already helped us catch the culprits. The next breakthrough will come from interrogating these kidnappers. As for the student, he's no longer needed. Let him go... Wait..."
"I'll handle this personally. You all stay outside and make sure no one comes in!" Officer Nelson, with his large belly, walked into the room where Bertram was being held.
"Young man, thank you for your brave report. It allowed us to catch this group of kidnappers in the shortest time possible!" Officer Nelson sat down across from Bertram, smiling warmly.
"Congratulations, Chief!" Bertram replied, still unsure of what Officer Nelson was up to.
"Young man, would you be open to making a deal?" Officer Nelson continued.
"What kind of deal?"
"This time, the information you provided was a great help to us. If you could keep it a secret that you were the one who tipped us off, and allow us to claim that all the information was found through our own investigation, I can offer you some compensation!" Officer Nelson revealed his true intentions.
