A high-level life takes a bizarre turn

[Simulation started. Foundation: 182% - 1%. Current foundation: 181%.]

[Simulation, day zero: You familiarized yourself with the tremendous power you now possessed. A foundation of 181% let you experience what true strength meant. With your cultivation as a rank thirty-six Soul Elder on top of that, you felt ready to soar.]

[Your strength gradually went to your head, but recalling the old veterans from your previous simulations brought you back down to earth. You chose to keep your head down and continue cultivating.]

[After acquiring almost the entire fortune of Vast Sea City's city lord, you wanted for nothing. To be safe, however, you did not flaunt your wealth. Instead, you pretended to be poor, dressing like a beggar every day to go out and gather information.]

[Unbeknownst to you, the next day, when Vast Sea City's city lord learned that his fortune had vanished overnight, he was so overcome with rage that he passed out on the spot.]

[A year quickly passed. With sufficient resources, your progress was rapid. You practically ate high-quality whale rubber for your daily meals.]

[After consuming three pieces of ten-thousand-year whale glue and twelve pieces of thousand-year whale rubber, the benefits became negligible. With your newly strengthened physique, you decided to play it safe for now. A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring came with a spiritual shock, and you were unsure whether you could withstand it, so you hunted down a thousand-year wind-attribute soul beast on your own.]

[Although the Thousand-Year Soul Ring gave you less strength than a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring would have, your caution saved your life.]

[Someone lurking in the shadows already suspected that you possessed considerable wealth. Had you exposed yourself now, you would have lost both your fortune and your life.]

[After becoming a Soul Ancestor, you encountered Yu Xiaogang arguing with his disciple on your way home.]

["Yu Xiaogang, this is all your fault! If it weren't for your bullshit soul master theories, my soul skill wouldn't be completely useless!" You did not know this person's name, but whether by coincidence or for some other reason, his martial soul was also related to wind. However, pairing a wind element martial soul with a poison-attribute soul skill left you itching to ridicule him.]

[You figured that mixing poison into the wind element would probably dilute it. Once released, never mind poisoning anyone—it would likely just make them laugh their heads off.]

[Yu Xiaogang noticed you. Furious, he wanted to use you to prove his theories correct and ordered his disciple to attack you.]

[The two really were birds of a feather. No wonder they had ended up together. At Yu Xiaogang's command, the disciple actually attacked you.]

[You had no intention of indulging either of them. They were merely a Soul Scholar and a Soul Grandmaster. Activating your second soul skill, you left an afterimage where you stood and moved too fast for the naked eye to follow, delivering a kick to both the brat's crotch and Yu Xiaogang's little Gangzi, destroying their dignity as men.]

[Yu Xiaogang and his disciple rolled around on the ground, shrieking in pain. Still unsatisfied, you controlled the wind element to slice off their little dicks, then sealed the wounds so they could never be restored.]

[Afterward, you fled that very night. You could not stay in Nuoding City for the time being. If you remembered correctly, the dean of Nuoding Academy had some connection to Yu Xiaogang.]

[You did not know the precise nature of their relationship, but when Nuoding Academy's dean learned that Yu Xiaogang had been castrated, he was initially rather angry. Then, seemingly struck by an idea, he asked a healing soul master whether they could fit Yu Xiaogang with a Thomas Rotation Organ. Gangzi felt quite good, but the dean wanted to experience what a real woman felt like even more. Yet the person he loved was Yu Xiaogang, leaving him unable to enjoy both Yu Xiaogang and a woman's charms at once. Now, however, he could.]

[After Nuoding Academy's dean issued this order, quite a few young women at the academy mysteriously disappeared.]

[You did not know what happened afterward. Nuoding Academy's dean never even sent anyone to hunt you down.]

[You took your fortune, worth hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins, and settled in Heaven Dou City, intending to replicate Su Four's actions from the previous simulation to gain Dugu Bo's trust.]

[Immortal herbs were truly tempting to you. Although you had consumed them before, the increase to your foundation did not include their medicinal effects. Those effects only appeared under the cultivation option. As a result, you currently had no drug resistance whatsoever and could enjoy the benefits of immortal herbs once again.]

[Simulation, year two: You found Dugu Yan, but she was only three years old at the time and understood nothing of social dealings. When she saw you, she innocently asked you to play with her.]

[You were speechless, but you figured that building a good relationship with Dugu Yan would make approaching Dugu Bo safer later on, so you decided to spend more time with her.]

[Watching from the shadows, Dugu Bo had mixed feelings about his granddaughter finding a playmate. Your meeting with Dugu Yan had, in a sense, been deliberately arranged by him. After all, you were not that much older than her, appearing to be only seven or eight.]

[Although he could tell you had an ulterior motive for approaching Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo could also see that you had no intention of hurting her. He thought you were most likely trying to attach yourself to him.]

[Later, however, during a chance encounter with you, Dugu Bo discovered that your soul power was already above rank forty, while your bone age was only a little over seven. Shocked, he began entertaining some unsavory thoughts, wanting to obtain the method behind your rapid cultivation.]

[Unfortunately for him, after observing you for a long time, he could only conclude that your talent was genuinely exceptional, rather than the result of any medicine.]

[Simulation, year four: Through your persistent efforts, you had almost molded Dugu Yan to your liking. Dugu Bo was furious to see his granddaughter being stolen away, but the thought of your monstrous talent helped him accept it.]

[A ten-year-old Soul King who had been able to hunt ten-thousand-year soul beasts alone even as a Quasi-Soul King—Dugu Bo believed you would be his granddaughter's greatest pillar of support after his death, so he tacitly permitted your growing intimacy with Dugu Yan.]

[You knew nothing of this. By now, however, you were very close to Dugu Yan and had developed something of a friendship with Dugu Bo as well. You sought him out privately and told him you had a way to resolve the hereditary problem with the Dugu Family's martial soul.]
