Who would eat soft rice after transmigrating to Panlong?

Who would still be a kept man after transmigrating into the Coiling Dragon World?

Author: Ice Wind Demon

Synopsis:

Transmigrating into the Coiling Dragon World, I was gifted the status of a Soul Mutator and pursued by a beautiful girl who is a third-generation wealthy heir from Hell. Looking at my own transcendent cultivation talent, Simon patted his chest and swore: Even if I die and transmigrate again, I will absolutely never be a kept man!

Chapter 1 Mutation

At the northwestern edge of the Rayast Continent, on the main peak of Despair Peak.

Gale winds raged. On a small flat area of the main peak, two young men were whispering to each other.

"Big brother, are we really just going to let him go like this? He is the greatest threat to our Joshua Clan's resurgence," said the younger, thin man with an ordinary appearance.

"Little brother, if I could kill him regardless of the cost, I certainly would have. But I didn't expect that even after perfecting my ultimate technique for several years, I could only heavily wound him. We can only look for another opportunity later," the older-looking youth replied.

"But, are we really just letting the tiger return to the mountain?" The younger brother was still unconvinced.

"Then why don't you go kill him yourself?"

"Hehe, big brother, you're joking. I'm just a Rank 9 warrior, not even a match for one of your moves. Going to find Simon alone would be nothing but suicide."

"Then shut your mouth!"

The older brother looked at this younger sibling, who was only a few years his junior but whose temperament was nothing like an adult of a hundred years old; he seemed more like a young boy who had never grown up under the protection of the clan.

Sigh, it's all my fault and the clan's fault for spoiling him since he was young. I'll have to temper him when there's a chance later. The older-looking youth stopped speaking, looked gloomily at the Magic Crystal mine beneath the peak, and with a wave of his hand, took his immature younger brother and flew away from the main peak of Despair Peak.

Inside the Herbert Family.

"Patriarch, it has been half a year since the young master's duel with Elodi of the Saint Realm from the Joshua Clan, why is he still in a coma?" Pete, the head butler of the Herbert Family, asked anxiously.

"It was my impatience. I agreed to the duel between the two juniors after being provoked by the Joshua Clan. Now that I think about it, it really shouldn't have happened." Solo Herbert, the current patriarch of the Herbert Family, was filled with regret. He never expected that Elodi, who had previously been unremarkable, was hiding his strength so deeply. The power he displayed was already no less than that of Elder Garrod, the second strongest in the Herbert Family today.

He was only slightly weaker than myself. And this Elodi has only been cultivating for a hundred years or so; he is a major threat. I must be more careful in the future, Solo thought to himself.

In the bright bedroom, two old men silently watched the pale youth on the bed.

At this moment, the seemingly calm and motionless youth was experiencing a violent soul storm within his mind.

What is going on? How did I end up in this place? I was just playing games all night over the weekend. My Heartsteel was just taking shape, and my three-star five-cost unit was about to come out, and this is the result? Yang Yu, in the form of a sword-shaped soul, looked depressed.

There was no other explanation; this situation had persisted for two days. By the looks of it, he had likely transmigrated.

But others transmigrated via truck-kun or through getting drunk; how did it become transmigrating from getting too excited while playing a game in his case?

Sigh, I don't even know what world I've transmigrated into. I hope it's a high-martial or xuanhuan world. Otherwise, if I have to work a nine-to-five job after transmigrating, who could stand that?

Within the soul space, Yang Yu thought boredly.

His current state was very special; his consciousness was clear, but he couldn't move at all, just like the lucid dreams he had in his previous life.

To be honest, this state was terrifying. He knew he was dreaming, but he couldn't wake up or control his own body.

If this goes on for too long, will I go crazy...

As his thoughts drifted, Yang Yu fell asleep without realizing it.

In his dream, he seemed to have become another person, and he had another name—'Simon Herbert'.

From the moment he was born, until he slowly grew up, he learned the language and writing of this world and embarked on the path of cultivation!

The dream continued. Yang Yu, who had come to this world, gradually accepted this identity and believed from the bottom of his heart that Simon was him, and he was Simon.

Perhaps Simon is my self in the Coiling Dragon World, and I am Simon in the Blue Star world. This can be understood as myself in different times and spaces of a parallel universe. Essentially, both are the same person. Through special circumstances, the souls of the two can perfectly merge, Yang Yu speculated.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why he arrived here after dying from overwork, perfectly merging with the soul before him without feeling the slightest bit of discomfort.

In the dream, Yang Yu recognized that this world was the world from his favorite novel in his previous life, Coiling Dragon.

There was no other reason; it was too obvious. He had been learning the family's secret Battle Qi manual since he was a child, and he had shown his genius side at a young age, entering the path in half a day and refining his first strand of Battle Qi in one day.

If Battle Qi was just a coincidence, then the mage test he took at age six was the final confirmation.

The test scene was almost identical to the one in the original work, except the test venue had become the family ancestral home, but the tools used were exactly the same.

The little boy endured for a very long time under the 'deterrence' of light magic, so long that Patriarch Solo, who was presiding over the test, was shocked. It's already been half an hour. Although little Simon learned the Battle Qi manual very quickly, completing a month's progress in one day, for his spiritual energy to be this strong...

Finally, little Simon reached his limit and sat down on his bottom, unable to hold on any longer. This spiritual energy intensity is already 80 times that of his peers. And before this, little Simon was also tested to have super-grade elemental affinity for both water and wind.

Darren, little Simon's father, thought to himself, This is much stronger than I was back then. Our branch will finally flourish in the future, hahaha.

At this moment, Patriarch Solo, who was presiding over the test and was a legendary Saint Realm powerhouse who had dominated the Gale Empire for over a thousand years, was also extremely excited.

As the Herbert Family, which had flourished for over a thousand years, only two or three descendants with such talent at the age of six had been born. Except for one who fell midway, the other two had become Saint Realm powerhouses without exception, which allowed the overall strength of the Herbert Family to successfully jump to the forefront of the Gale Empire.

The Herbert Family, which occupied three provinces, now had tens of thousands of registered clan members, with an actual jurisdiction covering over a million square miles. Most clan members were usually distributed in various provinces, and only during the annual Wind God Festival would they gather under the call of the patriarch. One reason was to bring the scattered clan members together to build relationships, and the other was to conduct talent tests for children of all branches who had reached the age of six.

The entire festival would last for a week.

This week was also the liveliest time of the year for the Herbert Family.

Patriarch Solo attached great importance to the cultivation of the younger generation of the clan, and he would always do the testing himself whenever he was in the clan.

And this time, it really gave the old patriarch a big surprise.

The dream continued. With such talent, and under the personal tutelage of the peak Saint Realm Patriarch Solo, Simon's strength as a warrior improved steadily. He cultivated Battle Qi at six, became a Level 1 warrior that same year, a Level 2 warrior at seven, a Level 3 warrior at eight, and a Level 4 warrior by nine. Had it not been for Solo holding him back to ensure he did not neglect physical conditioning, his talent for Battle Qi cultivation would have allowed him to break through the first three levels in half a year with ease.

Even so, young Simon broke through to become a Level 6 warrior at the age of twelve. This shattered the record for the youngest Level 6 warrior in the Herbert Family, a record previously held by Simon's great-great-grandfather, who had reached that level at thirteen.

Solo did not let Simon abandon the study of magic either; it would have been a pity not to cultivate magic with such high mental power and elemental affinity. To this end, old Solo did not hesitate to use his influence to personally invite his old friend Phil, a long-renowned Saint Magus of the Wind Element.

Under the careful guidance of two veteran Saint Realm experts, young Simon's strength soared. It could be said that young Simon enjoyed the most top-tier treatment on the entire Rayast Continent; even an imperial prince would have received no better.

Simon did not fail the family's expectations. Through his year-round, diligent practice, he finally comprehended the Momentum of Heaven and Earth at the age of thirty-five!

Having grasped the Momentum of Heaven and Earth, Simon felt as if he could control the wind. He had never felt the wind to be so intimate, and he was able to perceive the rhythm of the wind and its pulse with such clarity.

Immediately thereafter, Simon broke through to the Saint Realm as a warrior!

This also set a new record for the youngest Saint Realm expert in the Herbert Family!

That year, the Herbert Family was at the height of its glory. The old patriarch, Solo, hosted a banquet for all the top figures of the Gale Empire, grandly introducing Simon to the upper echelons of the entire empire for the first time.

That night, having broken through to the Saint Realm, Simon was in high spirits, his nerves, taut for decades, finally able to relax a little. Simon felt the sense of security his strength brought him, and in particular, the great freedom of being able to soar through the heavens and earth by his own power left him intoxicated.

At that moment, chasing the peak became his instinct.

Cultivation was no longer a tedious task. Constantly growing stronger and witnessing the continuous transformation of his life's essence brought him a sense of pleasure that surpassed any enjoyment from his previous life!

Five years passed. When Simon was forty, he was only a hair's breadth away from truly mastering the "Rhythm of the Wind." This meant he had brought his warrior cultivation to the peak of the mid-Saint Realm, ready to break through to the peak Saint Realm at any time and truly step through the door of comprehending the Law.

In magic, Simon had also reached the level of a Level 9 dual-element Grand Magus of Water and Wind, not far from becoming a Saint Magus.

According to Solo, the step from the mid-Saint Realm to the peak Saint Realm for a warrior was extremely difficult. Currently, the only ones in the Herbert Family who had comprehended the Law were Patriarch Solo and Elder Garrod; as for the other elder, Sanders, he was still stuck at the peak of the mid-Saint Realm, much like Simon's current strength.

Just at this time, Elodi, a Saint Realm expert from the Joshua Clan—which had always been at odds with the Herbert Family—issued a challenge to Simon at a public banquet hosted by the imperial family.

In the upper society of the Rayast Continent, challenges between nobles were quite common.

In this world that valued martial arts, combat was highly esteemed.

However, that was usually just a way for closely related nobles to engage in friendly exchange.

But now, with the Herbert Family and the Joshua Clan fighting over the ownership of a Magic Crystal mine on the northwest border of the Gale Empire, this challenge invitation appeared to have ulterior motives.

Coincidentally, the stakes for this challenge were the ownership of this Magic Crystal mine, worth at least several billion gold coins.

Although the Herbert Family was not exactly desperate for this mine, being able to secure it completely would still be of great use to the family.

In the dream, Yang Yu watched as the young, talented, and hot-blooded Simon discussed it with his family and accepted this public, provocative challenge.

According to family intelligence, the strength Elodi had displayed had always been that of an ordinary mid-Saint Realm expert—so ordinary that he seemed like a transparent figure in the Saint Realm circles of the entire Gale Empire.

One must know that there were many who had not made significant progress in strength for decades or even centuries after entering the Saint Realm. Everyone believed Elodi was the same, and that he was only doing this publicly to fight for that Magic Crystal mine.

Moreover, among his peers, the young genius Simon feared no one; he was a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts! The boost in strength provided by being a Level 9 dual-element Grand Magus could not be ignored, even in Saint Realm combat.

On the surface, Simon's strength appeared to be superior in every way.

Under these circumstances, Simon had no reason to back down.

Once he retreated, the Herbert Family's millennium of honor would cease to exist, and they would be branded with the shameful title of "Cowardly Family" by the entire upper class of the empire!

Naturally, this duel was approved under the notarization of the empire and a group of nobles.

The time and place for the battle were set for half a year later, in the sky above the Seine River on the outskirts of the city.

This Saint Realm duel instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the citizens of the imperial capital. In the extremely martial Gale Empire, such public battles between powerhouses were rare.

So much so that some people, upon receiving the news, traveled thousands of miles and spent months rushing over just to catch a glimpse of the Saint Realm experts' prowess.

As the duel began, it was indeed as Simon and the Herbert Family had expected. After buffing himself with the wind-type auxiliary magic "Extreme Speed" and the water-type defensive magic "Water Guardian," Simon relied on his speed and defensive advantages to suppress Elodi. The sword light from the Wind-Annihilation Longsword in Simon's hand even nearly struck Elodi at one point.

Although Simon was a notch weaker than his opponent in Battle Qi—after all, the other party had been in the Saint Realm much longer than him—Simon far exceeded him in speed and defense. Furthermore, Simon had developed a special move: "Gale Breathless Slash." Based on the Level 9 wind-type magic "Wind Blade Soaring Dance," "Vacuum Binding Art," and his insights into the rhythm of the wind, it could bind a target for a short time upon a close-range hit and unleash an attack.

In terms of pure attack power, Solo evaluated it as having reached the threshold of the peak Saint Realm, possessing absolute suppression over the mid-Saint Realm. Even Patriarch Solo, at the peak Saint Realm, would not want to take it head-on, as he was also specialized in the Law of Wind and not particularly skilled in defense.

The battle in the dream continued.

Just as Simon seized the opportunity to unleash his special move, "Gale Breathless Slash," to strike his opponent, Elodi, who studied the Law of Light, instantly split into two clones, causing Simon's "Gale Breathless Slash" to hit a "fake body"!

Seeing this in the dream, Yang Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. This was just like a blind man's ultimate ability hitting a fake monkey.

"Oh no! This Elodi has hidden himself too deeply. He has actually stepped into the threshold of the Law and begun to comprehend the Light and Shadow Clone Technique within the Law of Light, and his mastery doesn't seem low either. Simon is in danger now!" Patriarch Solo said with concern.

Simon, in the midst of the battle, also discovered Elodi's anomaly and couldn't help but hurriedly pull back after finishing his "Gale Breathless Slash."

"Know fear now? You were having fun chasing me around just a moment ago, weren't you? Now it's my turn," Elodi said coldly.

Taking advantage of the moment Simon's ultimate move hit his clone, he had already quickly shifted to Simon's side. Immediately, a blinding ray of light shot from Elodi's eyes, directly hitting Simon, who was retreating at high speed.

Upon being struck, Simon immediately realized that this was actually a soul attack!

This Elodi had hidden himself too deeply!

He truly hadn't expected that, without a sound, the man had not only broken through to the peak Saint Realm but had also comprehended a technique related to soul attacks.

Within Simon's Soul Ocean, the light that appeared instantly cut through his soul defenses with an unstoppable momentum.

Fortunately, Elodi had not been cultivating for very long, and his soul power was not yet strong enough—only at the level of a Level 9 magician—otherwise, Simon would have been in real danger.
