This simulation was actually quite interesting...
Su Chen rubbed his chin, savoring the scenes from the simulation that had just concluded.
To avoid becoming an unconscious "Ominous Creature," his simulated self had actually chosen to self-seal, dragging the entire world down with him?
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this 'self-seal' move is truly devious!"
Su Chen couldn't help but mutter a complaint, though a satisfied smile hung on his lips.
No matter how twisted the process was, the outcome was good—Tang San was dead.
As long as that "troublemaker" was dead, it didn't matter whether his simulated self lived or died in the end.
Besides, it wasn't the current him going to his death; that was the simulator's business. What did it have to do with Su Chen?
"Instead of worrying about the simulator's life or death, I should see what kind of loot dropped this time!"
Thinking of this, Su Chen rubbed his hands together, his eyes burning as he stared at the settlement panel.
"I achieved the 'Undying and Indestructible' achievement this time, so be sensible and drop some real gold, don't try to fob me off with junk!"
"Give me the good stuff! It has to be the good stuff!"
Ding—!
A crisp system notification sounded.
Reward extraction complete!
Congratulations to the host, you are in luck! A massive burst of good fortune!
[You have obtained the following rewards:]
1. Divine Artifact: Bell of the Departed.
[Grade: Super Divine Artifact]
[Effect: By ringing the bell, you can ignore the target's cultivation level in life and forcibly enslave the bones or souls of all dead creatures within a hundred-mile radius! The enslaved will retain their peak combat power from when they were alive and will never betray you!]
[Cost: This item is tainted with immense karma. The user may face ominous events in their later years or encounter a great terror.]
"..."
Looking at the bell, which radiated an eerie black aura, Su Chen fell into deep thought.
"This thing... it's overpowered, sure, but it comes with a price..."
It was undeniably satisfying, practically an artifact for group battles.
But this side effect... "Ominous in later years"?
Su Chen shivered.
It reminded him of the legends of certain red-haired monsters.
"Forget it, it's a good item, just a bit too hot to handle. I'll keep it as a trump card and use it as sparingly as possible."
Su Chen shook his head and continued reading.
2. Immortal Herbs *8:
Includes: Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Dew of Looking Through Autumn Waters, Blazing Apricot Delicate, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Strange Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum...
"Holy crap? Wholesale?"
Su Chen's eyes lit up, and the gloom from before vanished instantly.
"This is good! Simple and straightforward, I can use these right away!"
He nodded in satisfaction. Immortal herbs were like Bitcoin in his past life; you could never have too many. If he couldn't use them all, they would be excellent for cultivating subordinates.
Immediately, Su Chen looked toward the final three rewards with great anticipation.
3. Adaptive Million-Year Spirit Ring *1 (Attributes automatically adjust based on the characteristics of the Martial Soul).
4. Spirit Power Level +10 (Ignores bottlenecks, direct promotion).
5. One Million Gold Spirit Coins.
"..."
Su Chen widened his eyes, his fingers swiping across the light screen twice.
That's it?
Just this?
Su Chen looked on in disbelief.
"No, I said drop some loot, I didn't mean literally drop Gold Spirit Coins!"
"And you only gave me this much? Who the hell do you think you're looking down on?"
"I achieved 'Undying and Indestructible' in the simulation, and you only give me this? Who are you looking down on!"
If anyone else heard Su Chen's inner thoughts, they would likely be so angry they'd vomit three liters of blood on the spot.
A divine artifact, eight immortal herbs, a million-year spirit ring, and a 10-level jump... any one of these things could make Title Douluo fight to the death, and you're actually complaining that it's not enough?!
This is simply—insatiable, terrifyingly so!
However, complaints aside, this wave of rewards is truly generous.
Apart from the tacky Gold Soul Coins that you automatically ignored, every other item can be called top-tier, and they are of great benefit to your current cultivation.
Following the feedback from the simulator, the soul power within Su Chen's body has surged like a rocket to level forty-six!
Level forty-six Soul Ancestor!
But this is not the limit.
Su Chen rubbed his chin, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
If he were to consume those immortal herbs and pair them with a high-quality soul ring... breaking through to a level fifty Soul King would be as easy as reaching into a bag to take something!
An eight-year-old Soul King! Holding a super divine weapon!
If this configuration were to get out, let alone the neighbor's kids, even those Title Douluo who pride themselves on being geniuses would likely be scared into doubting their lives, their Dao hearts shattering on the spot.
A Title Douluo in front of him could only be considered a little girl!
A Super Douluo would just be a slightly bigger little girl!
This can no longer be described by the word "overpowered."
To express it in three words.
Scared to tears.
Moreover, the most precious wealth is not external objects.
The combat experience, cultivation insights, and foresight into the future from three simulations... have now perfectly integrated into your bones and blood.
This means that on the path to the peak, Su Chen will have no bottlenecks and will not take a single wrong turn!
Immediately, Su Chen took a deep breath, his consciousness sinking into the system space.
He extracted the immortal herbs obtained from the simulation rewards.
With a slight movement of his mind, two herbs radiating rich immortal energy appeared out of thin air.
In his left hand was a plant, transparent throughout, with leaves as if dripping with emerald, and a few crystalline dewdrops hanging from the top, as if reflecting the clarity of autumn waters—Dew of Looking Through Autumn Waters!
In his right hand was a large chrysanthemum, each petal presenting a magnificent purple, while the stamen was a dazzling gold, the whole body emitting a faint pressure—Strange Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum!
These two immortal herbs were exactly the best auxiliary items deduced through Epitaph in the second simulation!
A sharp glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes.
The Dew of Looking Through Autumn Waters trains the eyes, capable of greatly amplifying spiritual power, making the future scenes seen by Epitaph clearer and more lasting;
The Strange Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum trains the body, capable of molding a diamond-hard body, allowing this physical form to perfectly bear the violent power of King Crimson and the burden of Time Erasure!
It is a match made in heaven!
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Chen sat cross-legged and began to consume and refine them.
Time passed quietly during cultivation.
A day and a night vanished in the blink of an eye.
When Su Chen opened his eyes again, a flash of purple-gold light streaked across the depths of his pupils.
At this moment, he felt the soul power in his body like a rushing river, surging and magnificent, even with a sense of swelling as if it were about to overflow.
Although his specific level could not be displayed because he had not obtained his fourth and fifth soul rings, he could clearly perceive it.
That bottleneck known as the "Soul King" had long since been smashed to pieces by the violent medicinal power!
Level fifty? No, definitely more than that!
As he is now, he is only two soul rings away from ascending to the heavens in one step!
"Phew... time to go out."
Su Chen stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and pushed open the door he had been secluded behind for so long.
Creak—
The morning sunlight spilled onto his face, carrying a hint of warmth.
In the courtyard, a slender figure instantly caught Su Chen's gaze.
It was a woman dressed in a moon-white robe.
She held a thin sword, dancing gracefully under the flower trees.
The sword light was like water, her posture like the wind, and every thrust carried a certain natural rhythm; it was neither sharp nor murderous, but instead revealed an indescribable elegance and softness.
Amidst the falling blossoms, she seemed to be the most beautiful scenery in this courtyard.
Suddenly, a sentence surfaced in Su Chen's mind:
If you look down and cannot see your toes, that is the ultimate beauty of the world.
This sentence was perfectly verified in Zhang Lexuan.
Seemingly sensing the movement behind her, the sword light stopped abruptly.
Zhang Lexuan sheathed her sword and stood still, slowly turning around.
On that gentle and dignified face, there was no displeasure at being disturbed; instead, it wore a smile as warm as a spring breeze.
She looked at Su Chen, her beautiful eyes filled with concern, her tone impossibly gentle:
"Finally out of seclusion? Are you hungry? I left some food for you in the pot."
