He Yu's thoughts stirred. Take stock of the gains.
A waterfall of text from the simulator immediately refreshed before He Yu's eyes.

He Yu's eyes darted up and down, unable to take it all in.
"Enough, enough." He Yu scratched at his ears and cheeks in excitement.
After displaying the gains, another prompt appeared from the simulator.
All items obtained this time can be inherited.
Please choose one of the following two options to confirm whether to inherit the gains.
1. Inherit immediately.
2. Inherit at once.
He Yu stared at the two options and froze. "Are you screwing with me? What fucking difference is there?"
In the end, He Yu closed his eyes and picked one at random.
Boom—
True qi surged violently into He Yu's body.
The immense true qi of the Marrow Washing Early Stage flowed through every limb and bone in He Yu's body.
All the formidable power he had cultivated in the simulation returned to He Yu.
"Awesome!!"
He Yu was thrilled to the core.
In an instant, he leaped from an ordinary person straight into a Marrow Washing martial artist.
The speed was so fast it was like wind chasing lightning.
Aside from his cultivation, all his martial skills, items, talents, and the rest were inherited as well.
The items were all placed in the Simulation Space.
Next, it was time to deal with the twisted family at the Golden Saber Academy.
And He Yu still needed to find out what kind of tangled, inextricable connection Danzhou's prefect, Duan Qian, had with the Golden Saber Academy.
He wanted to see just what treasures the seemingly unremarkable Golden Saber Academy was hiding that had Duan Qian so obsessed.
Light gleamed in He Yu's eyes, and his aura turned razor-sharp.
A flash of cold light flickered in his right hand as the Soul Awakening Blade slid into his grasp.
"Golden Saber Academy, is it? Picking a fight with me means you've kicked vibranium!"
He Yu did not wait for Wang Yuanyi to come to him. He headed straight for Wang Yulin's courtyard.
From the simulation just now, He Yu knew that Wang Yuanyi and Wang Yulin were both in the courtyard at this moment.
He Yu unleashed his movement technique, leaving afterimages in his wake.
He Yu did not hide his strength at all now, his tyrannical true qi sweeping forth without restraint.
In just two breaths, He Yu arrived in Wang Yulin's courtyard.
Boom—
Wang Yulin's door was blasted into splinters by He Yu.
"Who dares run wild in the Golden Saber Academy?!" Wang Yuanyi roared and charged out of the room.
When Wang Yuanyi saw He Yu standing in the courtyard with the Soul Awakening Blade in hand and one hand behind his back, shock and fury mingled on his face.
He looked He Yu up and down in disbelief. "You... you're He Yu?!"
The terrifying fluctuations radiating from He Yu made his heart shudder again and again.
It was as if, with a mere wave of the man's hand, he would be reduced to dust.
Wang Yuanyi's eyelids twitched wildly.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
Is this really the orphan Father brought back?
Wasn't he an ordinary person?
When Father brought him back, wasn't he on the verge of starving to death?
Then who is this person now?!
Why do I feel like a tiny fishing boat amid raging seas and towering waves before him, ready to capsize at any moment?
And this definitely isn't an illusion!
Wh-what the hell is going on here?!
Terror filled Wang Yuanyi's face, and stormy waves surged in his heart.
"Brother~ Did someone from the Black Tiger Martial Hall break in?" Wang Yulin also trotted out from the room.
The moment Wang Yulin came out, she first delicately wrapped herself around Wang Yuanyi's arm.
Only then did she turn to look at He Yu.
"He Yu! Y-you, why are you here?"
Wang Yulin's tone was filled with alarm and confusion.
She believed that after He Yu drank that pot of tea, there was no way he could appear here in such a normal state.
Wang Yulin then looked at Wang Yuanyi's grave expression.
She thought Wang Yuanyi was angry because the drug's effects had not kicked in on He Yu.
So she planned to calm He Yu down first, then find another chance to drug him later.
A pure and gentle smile bloomed on Wang Yulin's face as she walked toward He Yu.
"He Yu, I was just about to find you to discuss embroidery. Let's go to your room—"
"Yulin, don't go over there!!"
Wang Yuanyi reached out and seized Wang Yulin tightly.
"Ah~ Brother, that hurts!"
Wang Yuanyi was so tense that he forgot Wang Yulin was an ordinary person who had never cultivated the Martial Path. He lost track of his own strength.
Wang Yulin's slender arm was gripped tightly in Wang Yuanyi's hand, as if letting go would mean losing his sister forever.
"Brother, what's wrong with you today? Let go, quick—"
Wang Yulin's eyes suddenly trembled, and her words cut off abruptly.
Wang Yuanyi felt as though a flash of cold light had passed before his eyes, yet he also thought it might have been an illusion.
A line of blood appeared across Wang Yulin's tender shoulder.
The hand Wang Yuanyi used to grip his sister suddenly grew light.
The next moment, Wang Yulin's arm abruptly separated from her body.
Wang Yuanyi held nothing but one of Wang Yulin's arms.
Wang Yuanyi froze for a moment, his mind not yet catching up.
Then several long, thin lines of blood emerged across Wang Yulin's face and body.
Finally, like cracks spreading across porcelain, the bloodlines crawled over her entire body.
Crash—
Wang Yulin's entire body shattered into small pieces and scattered across the ground.
Only the arm in Wang Yuanyi's hand remained relatively intact.
Some people simply drift apart as they walk on.
"Yulin—!!"
Wang Yuanyi looked at that arm and howled madly.
The sight drove him nearly insane.
His own sister had been killed before his very eyes!
Yet he had not even been able to see how He Yu made his move!
Wang Yuanyi realized that He Yu's strength was at least two major realms above his own.
B-but how was that possible?!
Wang Yuanyi could not believe it, nor was he willing to.
The terror in Wang Yuanyi's heart reached its utmost limit.
Yet extreme terror instead gave rise to extreme fury.
Wang Yuanyi's reason was gradually devoured by hatred.
"Ah!! I don't care who you are! Die—!"
Throwing caution to the wind, Wang Yuanyi charged furiously at He Yu.
He Yu gave a soft laugh and fired out a strand of true qi.
Bang—
One of Wang Yuanyi's legs exploded as he sprinted forward at full speed.
"Ah—!"
Wang Yuanyi fell to the ground, clutching his bloody, mangled thigh, now missing its lower half, and howling in agony.
He Yu walked over.
He looked down at Wang Yuanyi, who was rolling across the ground.
Wang Yuanyi looked up at the calm-faced He Yu, his heart filled with shock and doubt.
"Who the fuck are you?! One of those bastards from the Black Tiger Martial Hall?!"
Wang Yuanyi roared with all his strength, venting the rage and terror in his heart.
He Yu slowly crouched down, gathering a sharp, fierce strand of true qi at his fingertips.
The true qi aimed at Wang Yuanyi's face like a taut crossbow, ready to fire.
With the slightest release, it could blast Wang Yuanyi's head apart.
Wang Yuanyi also sensed death's threat. His entire body trembled, and he forced himself to endure the pain and fall silent.
Wang Yuanyi stared blankly at He Yu.
Boundless terror made his body tremble uncontrollably.
He Yu's voice held no emotion. "What is the relationship between Danzhou's prefect, Duan Qian, and your family?"
