"Xuan Zi, Xuan Zi, the happier you are now, the harder you'll cry later."

Su Chen looked at the Simulation panel, the corner of his mouth curling into a wicked grin.

"If you get away today, I'll cut off my 'Dio' right here and now, then become Zhang Lexuan's sister!"

Looking at the old glutton in the Simulation, walking step by step into the trap, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh.

There were two great joys in this Simulation:

First, eating, sleeping, and beating Tang San.

Second, watching Xuan Zi, the Captain of the Shrek Inspection Team, suffer a setback.

Without these two clowns, this dull Simulation life would lose half its fun!

[At the outskirts of Sunset Forest.]

[Elder Ma was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy; anyone who didn't know better would've thought he was the one about to absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.]

["Action begins."]

[You muttered, instantly setting your "Fishing Plan" in motion.]

[Hum—!]

[You deliberately stopped suppressing your aura. Soul Rings blazed beneath your feet, and you shot toward the depths of Sunset Forest like a meteor, making no effort to conceal yourself.]

[Meanwhile, as agreed, Elder Ma gritted his teeth and quickly fled in the opposite direction.]

[Hidden nearby, Xuan Zi was munching on a chicken drumstick. Seeing this, he froze.]

["Hm? Splitting up? What are they up to now?"]

[A flicker of confusion crossed his greasy face. Could those two have discovered his whereabouts?]

[But in the next moment, his gaze locked onto the dazzling light around you.]

["Th-this is impossible!"]

[Xuan Zi forgot to chew the chicken in his mouth.]

[One yellow, two purple, one black!]

[Such an outrageous Soul Ring Configuration was unheard of! Even the most talented students in Shrek Inner Court couldn't have a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring as their fourth!]

[In his shock, he even overlooked your equally extraordinary thousand-year second Soul Ring.]

["A ten-thousand-year fourth ring... This boy must not be allowed to live!"]

[A ruthless glint flashed in Xuan Zi's eyes.]

[He knew you were here to hunt a Soul Beast. If you absorbed another Soul Ring from a sixty-thousand-year Soul Beast, your strength would surely soar.]

[By then, Shrek's glory in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament might be lost at the hands of this boy!]

["For the sake of Shrek's glory, I have no choice but to play the villain."]

[Xuan Zi found himself a noble-sounding excuse, abandoned Elder Ma without hesitation, and shot after you like a streak of light.]

[Deep inside Sunset Forest, you stopped behind a secluded thicket.]

["Come out, my stand-in."]

[With a thought, you released the "Bionic Body" through your Martial Soul.]

[The light and shadows twisted, and a figure identical to you appeared out of nowhere.]

[Its Soul Ring Configuration, Soul Power fluctuations, and arrogant bearing were all exactly the same as yours.]

[If there was any difference, it was the faint, almost imperceptible gray aura of death lingering between the Bionic Body's brows.]

[This was the "surprise" you'd specially prepared for Xuan Zi.]

[Once you were done, you concealed your aura and hid in the treetops nearby like a ghost.]

[The show was about to begin.]

[You took out a handful of sunflower seeds and quietly watched your Bionic Body begin its solo performance.]

[You'd barely released the perfect "Bionic Body" when a terrifying pressure descended from above!]

[Taotie Douluo, Xuan Zi, had arrived!]

[The aura of a level-98 Super Douluo burst forth without restraint, pressing down like a mountain.]

[Yet your Bionic Body stood motionless, even wearing a strange smile.]

[That was the terrifying part of the Bionic Body—it had perfectly inherited all your abilities, while possessing an endless supply of Soul Power (infinite mana) and a life force twice as vast as your own (double health bar)!]

["Go!"]

[The Bionic Body raised a hand, and two figures appeared out of nowhere.]

[Jiamian! And... Tianwu Douluo!]

["That's... a Titled Douluo?!"]

[Xuan Zi's pupils contracted as he stared in shock.]

[He'd never imagined that a boy who seemed to be only a Quasi-Soul King could control puppets at the Titled Douluo level!]

["This boy must not be allowed to live!"]

[Killing Intent surged in Xuan Zi's heart.]

[If a child this young could control Titled Douluos with such evil sorcery, then once he grew up, wouldn't he tear the very sky of Douluo Continent apart?]

["You heretical fiend! Today, I shall uphold justice on Heaven's behalf!"]

[Roaaar—!]

[Xuan Zi roared and activated his Martial Soul Avatar! The phantom of a gigantic Godly Taotie Bull stretched across the sky, charging at the two puppets with world-shattering force.]

[Before overwhelming strength, flashy tricks were meaningless.]

[In a single exchange, Jiamian and Tianwu Douluo were smashed like paper dolls, bursting into countless points of light!]

[Minion eliminated!]

[After crushing the puppets, Xuan Zi kept charging, hurtling toward your Bionic Body like a meteor!]

[Closer! Closer!]

[Seeing your Bionic Body standing still, Xuan Zi sneered.]

["Out of tricks, are you? Then die!"]

[At that moment, Xuan Zi could already picture you splattering blood across the ground. He was even beginning to celebrate his victory early (popping the champagne at halftime).]

[But just as his palm was about to touch the Bionic Body's throat—]

[A bone-chilling sense of danger suddenly exploded within him!]

[It was a Super Douluo's instinctive sense of approaching death!]

["Something's wrong! Retreat!"]

[Xuan Zi's expression changed drastically as he tried to force himself to pull back.]

["Too late."]

[A calm voice sounded beside his ear.]

[Hum—!]

[Space twisted in an instant, and the surrounding scenery peeled away like shattered glass.]

[After the world spun around him, Xuan Zi found himself in a gray, lifeless world.]

["What kind of cursed place is this?!" Xuan Zi exclaimed in alarm.]

[But he quickly forgot about his surroundings, because he saw a sight that made his soul tremble.]

[Before him stood you and your Bionic Body, side by side.]

[Behind your Bionic Body, an ancient, sacred figure slowly appeared, staff in hand, gray eyes seeming to see through life and death.]

[At the same time, the exact same figure rose behind your real body!]

[Holy Necromancer, Scourge of the Undead—Electrolux!]

[And there were two of him!]

[The two divine powerhouses hovered in the air, their terrifying mental pressure sweeping through the entire demi-plane like a tsunami.]

[They lowered their heads and gazed down at Xuan Zi with the detached indifference of someone looking at an ant.]

[A deafening voice rang in Xuan Zi's ears.]

["Welcome to the Undead Demi-plane!"]
