Yu Luoyang

Day 1: Following your understanding of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer from your memories, you tried to create the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer yourself, but gained nothing!

Day 2: You continued trying to develop the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, but still gained nothing!

Day 3: You failed again!

Day 4: ...

The life simulation continued without end.

Mu Ge watched himself in the life simulation keep trying, keep failing.

Because his simulated self knew that the core technique of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer was using force against force—borrowing the force from one's own swings and stacking it layer upon layer.

So his simulated self incorporated what he had known in his previous life about the application of force.

Day 72: You were already able to wield the Clear Sky Hammer in a seven-strike combo, each strike stacking upon the last, every blow stronger than the one before...

Day 73: Soul Power exhausted. Simulation interrupted!

"This time, my Soul Power was depleted so quickly..."

Seeing that his Soul Power had been completely drained, Mu Ge was somewhat surprised. The simulation had only reached Day 73, and that was with his Soul Power fully replenished.

During the last simulation, even with insufficient Soul Power, Mu Ge had managed to simulate up to Day 109. In the end, he had interrupted it himself.

"But that's normal. After all, using the Clear Sky Hammer consumes quite a bit of Soul Power, even without using soul skills. And developing Self-Created Soul Skills for the Clear Sky Hammer really does consume even more Soul Power!"

After thinking it over briefly, Mu Ge understood the key and did not dwell on it further.

"But next time, I need to be more careful. I can't let the Simulator drain all my Soul Power again. In a place like Slaughter City, I have to maintain a certain level of combat strength at all times!"

As Mu Ge reminded himself, he hurriedly began cultivating to restore his Soul Power.

Only after his Soul Power had recovered did Mu Ge leave his residence to look for food.

He had not eaten for two consecutive days. Although it would not matter if he went without food while cultivating, since Soul Power could be converted into the energy his body needed, food was still the fastest way to replenish energy.

As he walked through the inner city, traces left behind by slaughter could be seen everywhere.

However, it was not as severe as the anime had portrayed.

When Tang San entered in the anime, slaughter was taking place everywhere. That was impossible.

Although killings happened here every day, they were not visible everywhere. Normal killings only took place in secluded locations; all people could see were the traces left behind by them.

After all, no one wanted to kill someone only to be ambushed immediately afterward.

"Mu Ge, why are you here?"

As Mu Ge passed a street corner, someone suddenly called out his identity.

Mu Ge turned his head and saw a young man whose features were difficult to make out. Like most people here, he wore a hooded coat, with his head hidden beneath the hood.

"Who are you?"

Mu Ge stopped and looked coldly at him.

There were no good people in a place like this.

Including himself!

Setting aside whether his past self had been a good person, from the moment his memories awakened, Mu Ge had known that he could no longer be a good person.

Outside Slaughter City, he had enemies everywhere, unless he could change his identity after leaving and stop using the Simulator Martial Soul.

But how could that be possible?

And besides, so what if he was a bad person? There were not many good people in this world anyway.

In Mu Ge's view, Tang San and his group from the original work were not good people either.

On the contrary, Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall, the supposed villains, were not all that bad in Mu Ge's eyes.

Aside from Bibi Dong wanting to destroy the world, her actions to unify the continent seemed righteous to Mu Ge instead.

Because Spirit Hall was the one truly standing on the side of the common people.

Whether it was the Upper Three Sects, the Lower Four Sects, or any other faction, they were instead the ones exploiting the common people.

"You bastard, have you even forgotten me?"

Hearing Mu Ge's words, the man sounded extremely angry. He immediately threw back his hood and glared furiously at Mu Ge.

Yet even after seeing his face, Mu Ge truly could not remember who he was.

Seeing the expression on Mu Ge's face, the man became even more enraged.

"Damn it, I'm Yu Luoyang! You bastard, you don't even recognize me anymore!"

"Back then, it was because of you that I was forced to flee into this damned place, Slaughter City!"

The man—Yu Luoyang—glared at Mu Ge and spoke viciously.

"Yu Luoyang... So it's you, you scumbag!"

Upon hearing the name, Mu Ge thought for a moment before finally remembering who he was.

Yu Luoyang had once been a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, a direct-line disciple who possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit.

His talent was mediocre, but his character was utterly vile.

Back when they were in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he had been deeply jealous of Mu Ge. Yet because of Mu Ge's status, he had not dared offend him.

Like Cao Cao, his vice was coveting other men's wives.

Once, Mu Ge had caught him having a secret rendezvous with the wife of an elder from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and then reported him.

No one knew how he had escaped from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but afterward, there had been rumors that he had slept with more than one other man's wife within the clan.

Yu Luoyang had long since been expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which had even sent people to hunt him down.

It seemed that he had now fled into Slaughter City.

But it was hardly strange. Many people knew about a place like Slaughter City; even some commoners knew of it.

That was also why Slaughter City never lacked people, despite people dying here every day.

When the Hell Slaughter Arena opened, it was perfectly normal for seven or eight people to die. If several matches were held in one day, that meant dozens of deaths.

If Soul Masters were not constantly entering from the outside world, where would so many people come from to participate in the Hell Slaughter Arena?

Thus, the existence of Slaughter City was not a secret at all. Soul Masters who could no longer survive in the outside world would choose to enter Slaughter City.

Moreover, not everyone who entered Slaughter City was a Soul Master. Many vicious criminals without any Soul Power also entered Slaughter City.

Here, if they were vicious enough, they could kill Soul Masters.

"Scumbag..."

Hearing Mu Ge's words, Yu Luoyang's expression immediately turned even uglier. If Mu Ge had not exposed him, he would not have become a scumbag everyone despised!

"I'm quite curious, though. How did a genius like you end up in a place like this?"

"Or have you finally gained some self-awareness? Did you realize you can't simulate an advanced martial soul and couldn't face cruel reality, so you fled here?"

However, Yu Luoyang quickly suppressed the anger in his heart and sneered mockingly at Mu Ge.

Because Yu Luoyang had entered Slaughter City before Mu Ge, he did not know what had happened to Mu Ge afterward.
