I Can Program My Body?

Determined to defeat the virtual manifestation of a Void General, Nash grew serious.

Using his keenest abilities, he observed and studied the Void General's movement patterns.

He noted how each of its muscles moved, how its void energy circulated, and its every reaction to different situations.

After hours of grueling combat, barely dodging and striking his enemy, Nash finally gained an edge, slowly wearing down his enemy.

Finally, after memorizing every movement, Nash defeated the enemy through sheer exhaustion.

[Challenge Complete.]

[Start Again?]

"Hah! It's finally over! I didn't expect the difference between a Void Warrior and a Void General to be so vast!"

After seven hours of relentless fighting, losing time and time again, Nash finally seized a chance to win.

This was merely the weakest Void General. What about those with stronger foundations and fighting skills?

Recalling the fight, Nash felt satisfaction coursing through him.

Like battling a boss and memorizing every detail of its skills and movement patterns, he finally prevailed.

Although the fight was tough, now that he had memorized the Void General's movement pattern, Nash was confident he could end it in minutes.

This was without even using the [Overloading] or [Overclocking] module systems.

Testing his theory, he repeated the fight.

Facing the same movements, skills, and responses, Nash maneuvered around his opponent, steadily draining its energy.

Each hit, although minor, gradually sapped the enemy's energy, whittling it down.

After a few minutes, sensing his peak attack could break the opponent's defense, Nash swooped for a decisive kill.

Thud!

With a swift elbow slashing towards the opponent's neck, the battle ended instantly.

[Challenge Complete.]

[Start Again?]

"Haha, easy!"

Repeating the challenge, Nash began defeating his opponent with various postures.

---

Soon, after half an hour of venting his emotions, Nash finally calmed down.

"This simulation is not bad…" Nash nodded in satisfaction.

Although it cost tens of thousands of nova credits to battle a virtual Void General for an hour, the insight he gained was worth it.

Even if it lacked the unpredictable nature of real combat, it provided valuable data for the [Combat Module System].

Unlike before, the [Combat Module System] no longer requires manually inputting enemy details to generate corresponding attacks or responses.

Instead, by extracting the battle data from the [Memory Module System], it automatically formed a database, inputting the attacks and responses to them.

In other words, as long as he fought an enemy, all of its attack patterns and his responses would be automatically saved in the [Combat Module System], saving him valuable time.

"Since I have three days of free time, I might as well hone my fighting skills…"

With nothing else to do, Nash decided to challenge different virtual opponents.

Varying their condensation rate, style, weapons, environment, and profession, Nash edited his opponents one by one.

Although changing the data meant entirely new patterns, having memorized the movement patterns of a Void General, he defeated subsequent opponents more quickly.

Being of the same rank, no matter how the style, weapons, environment, or profession changed, their responses shared similar habits and patterns.

Capitalizing on this, Nash analyzed and defeated new virtual Void General opponents in less and less time.

After two days, Nash didn't even need to fight personally, leaving everything to the [Combat Module System].

With vast data collected from similar opponents, it could respond on its own while gathering more data for increasingly efficient responses.

The more data the [Combat Module System] had, the stronger it became.

In the future, even against a stronger Void General or enemies of similar styles, with such a vast amount of data, the [Combat Module System] could respond even more smoothly, using the weak to defeat the strong.

Soon, after fighting hundreds of Void Generals in varied scenarios, the time to meet his teammates arrived.

Ending the fight, Nash opened the evaluation of his combat ability.

After all, this was a combat testing facility to assess his skills, not just a sparring room.

[Combat Ability: Grandmaster

Evaluation: Perfect combination of skill and finesse. No wasteful movements, with flawless strategy and responses to every situation in any environment.

Tip: Recommend the user apply for the Nova Army for formal evaluation.]

"Only Grandmaster combat ability?"

According to the rating, combat ability wasn't based on power, strength, or speed, but on pure skill—the response or action against an enemy.

He hadn't expected his ability to fall short of Legend rank.

It seemed there were greater monsters in the world with superior fighting skills.

Shaking his head, Nash paid the remaining balance and began deleting various records from the facility.

After all, it was too astonishing for a Void Warrior to defeat a Void General so thoroughly.

Nash had even simulated battles against up to three Void Generals and won without being hit once.

Such overwhelming fighting ability made him wary of drawing too much attention.

After erasing all traces, Nash returned to the real world and tidied himself up.

Having not come out for three days, he found the sunlight refreshing.

"Huh~ It's time to face the core layer of the Willow Primeval Forest."

---

Soon, meeting with his teammates, they headed to the core layer of the Willow Primeval Forest.

Unlike the periphery, the core layer occupied less than 10% of the forest.

However, its dangers were 50% greater than those of its counterpart.

With the sudden surge in danger, Nash's team began to struggle, slowing their herb collection speed.

Facing multiple 5-star dark beasts from all directions, Nash couldn't cope alone.

From north, east, west, and south, the enemies were too scattered for one person to handle.

Fortunately, the team included several more 4-star Void Warriors.

With millions of merits in their accounts, some herb pickers had passed the 4-star Void Warrior qualification test.

Although they were still glorious herb pickers, they could take up arms and fight when danger arose.

Defending from all sides, the team suffered some injuries but marched steadily forward.

Nash also led the team to move cautiously, navigating in circles, wary of encountering the hidden danger in the forest too soon.

Although the enemy was far from his range, deep in his heart, he felt a throbbing danger.

Soon, after over a dozen hours, their daily hunting time ended, prompting them to head back to the shelter.
