The Simulator Does More Than Simulate Martial Souls

After all, the martial souls Mu Ge could simulate were of far too low a quality.

Mu Ge's inability to simulate higher-quality martial souls for a long time caused the clan disciples—especially the direct-line disciples, who had already resented Mu Ge's excellence and treatment—to begin protesting. They believed Mu Ge should not continue receiving such favorable treatment.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader and elders did not agree at first. But after another year passed and Mu Ge still could not simulate a higher-quality martial soul, the clan had no choice but to consider the feelings of its other disciples and began reducing Mu Ge's cultivation resources and support.

Mu Ge was finally punished, and those clan disciples who had long been dissatisfied with him were ecstatic. Whenever they encountered Mu Ge afterward, they mocked and sneered at him.

They ridiculed Mu Ge for possessing such an impressive martial soul yet being unable to simulate even a slightly higher-quality martial soul.

Others mocked his martial soul itself as low-quality, saying it was simply incapable of simulating high-quality martial souls.

Mu Ge, who had enjoyed smooth sailing ever since awakening his martial soul, could not possibly endure such treatment.

Faced with this, Mu Ge's mindset collapsed. He desperately wanted to prove himself.

Yet no matter how hard he tried, even after becoming a Soul Ancestor and increasing his Simulator's success rate fourfold, he still could not simulate high-quality martial souls.

That was until Mu Ge accidentally learned of the existence of Fallen Ones. (Before Douluo 2, there were no evil soul masters, only Fallen Ones. In the anime, Hu Liena called the soul masters in Slaughter City Fallen Ones!)

After experimenting, Mu Ge discovered that his martial soul actually possessed the ability to devour other people's martial souls.

Moreover, after devouring a martial soul and then simulating it, there was practically no possibility of failure.

Thus, Mu Ge began venturing out to train. By hunting soul masters and devouring their martial souls, he successfully simulated high-quality martial souls.

Mu Ge was overjoyed by this. From then on, he spiraled out of control and embarked upon the path of a Fallen One.

Gradually, Mu Ge was no longer satisfied with merely simulating high-quality martial souls. He began setting his sights on those exceptional top-tier martial souls.

The Upper Three Sects and the Lower Four Sects all became Mu Ge's targets.

But if you walked by the river often enough, your shoes were bound to get wet.

After successfully hunting a Clear Sky Sect disciple, Mu Ge was finally discovered, revealing that he had become a Fallen One.

Afterward, the Clear Sky Sect began hunting Mu Ge down. While fleeing from pursuit, Mu Ge was forced to reveal more and more martial souls. The forces behind those martial souls learned of the situation as well and realized that some of their own disciples had also been killed by Mu Ge.

As a result, even more forces began hunting Mu Ge down.

As for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the moment they learned that Mu Ge had become a Fallen One and was being pursued by the Clear Sky Sect, they immediately announced his expulsion from the clan.

With so many people hunting him, Mu Ge could only flee into Slaughter City.

"Such an incredible start, only for everything to fall apart halfway through. He hadn't even grown strong yet, and he dared lay hands on the Clear Sky Sect!"

"But he really was unlucky, and not cautious enough. Otherwise, it would not have come to this!"

After sighing over the events of this life, Mu Ge stopped dwelling on them. What mattered most now was recovering from his injuries.

Otherwise, a place like Slaughter City was simply far too dangerous.

"So this is my martial soul, the Simulator?"

Immediately afterward, Mu Ge raised a hand and summoned his Spirit Simulator.

Mu Ge had awakened the memories of his previous life rather than being reborn through possession, so he felt no unfamiliarity whatsoever when using his own martial soul. It moved as naturally as an extension of his arm.

"Simulator..."

Looking at the Simulator in his hand, Mu Ge murmured softly, his eyes flashing with contemplation.

In his previous life, Mu Ge had read plenty of novels, including quite a few where the protagonist's cheat ability was a Simulator.

So in Mu Ge's view, the version of himself who had not yet awakened his past-life memories had developed the Simulator far too superficially. He only knew how to use it to simulate other people's martial souls.

"It should be able to simulate a life, right?"

"Even if it can't, I can still use the Simulator to create Soul Skills and martial souls myself, instead of only simulating other people's martial souls!"

"In the end, my knowledge was still too limited!"

"And Soul Skills do not necessarily require soul rings to be used. There are also Soul Skills that can be used without soul rings, and they won't be restricted in a place like Slaughter City!"

As Mu Ge pondered this, he switched the martial soul in his hand, simulating a healing-type martial soul—the Book of Healing.

It was a high-quality auxiliary tool-type martial soul.

"Without using a soul ring alongside it, there won't be any healing effect at all."

Looking at the Book of Healing in his hand, Mu Ge muttered before switching his martial soul back into the form of the Simulator.

"Simulator, perform a life simulation. During the simulation, focus mainly on developing Soul Skills that do not require soul rings. Switch the martial soul to the Book of Healing for the simulation!"

After switching it back, Mu Ge tried to further develop the Simulator's capabilities.

Crack—crack—

At Mu Ge's command, the cubic Simulator in his hand instantly split into twenty-seven smaller cubes. Yet it did not fall apart as a whole; it was like a Rubik's Cube, rapidly spinning in irregular patterns.

Day 1: You attempted to use the Book of Healing martial soul to develop a Soul Skill that could be used without soul rings. You failed and gained nothing!

Day 2: You continued trying, but still gained nothing!

Day 3: You continued trying. Unfortunately, you still gained nothing!

...

As the Simulator began spinning, Mu Ge felt his Soul Power continuously draining away. At the same time, information from the Simulator entered his mind.

So it really can...

Mu Ge was secretly thrilled. The Simulator truly could perform life simulations; he had been worried that it would not work!

At that moment, Mu Ge also began to feel that, as the Simulator operated, he could see another version of himself cultivating day after day, creating a Soul Skill.

It was like watching a movie, watching another version of himself cultivate.

It looked like someone else's experience, yet the insights were his own. It was incredibly mystical.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Ge discovered that half the Soul Power in his body had been consumed.

By then, the version of himself inside the Simulator had already begun making progress in developing the Self-Created Soul Skill.

Day 86: Without using soul rings, you finally found a way to activate the Book of Healing...

Day 109: Without using soul rings, after your tireless efforts, you finally mastered a Self-Created Soul Skill. You named it "Light of Healing"!

"Stop!"

The moment the Simulator successfully helped him develop a Self-Created Soul Skill, Mu Ge immediately stopped it from continuing.

If it went on any longer, his Soul Power would be drained dry.

Continue growing in secret.
