I Can Simulate Douluo Dalu III / Simulation Settlement

Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III, Targeting Tang San, by Luobogan Maodou

?

Gong Yu transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, in the same era as Tang San.

But Gong Yu had terrible luck. He awakened an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and had only level 1 Innate Soul Power.

Just as he was nearing despair, he awakened a simulator that could simulate the world of Douluo Dalu III...

Chapter 1: I Can Simulate Douluo Dalu III

Blue Silver Village, Nuoding City, Fasinuo Province, Heaven Dou Empire.

Today was the annual day when Spirit Hall went up mountains and down to the countryside, visiting villages to awaken the Martial Souls of children of the appropriate age.

On the Douluo Continent, the quality of the Martial Soul you awakened and whether you awakened Innate Soul Power would determine how high your future achievements could reach.

Outside the church, Village Chief Tom had arranged for a group of children to line up early and wait for Spirit Hall Deacon Su Yuntao to awaken their Martial Souls.

Su Yuntao used his Soul Power to open the church doors and led the children inside.

The Martial Soul Awakening ceremony soon began.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye...

It had to be said, Blue Silver Village truly lived up to its name. By the end of the ceremony, the children had all awakened the same Martial Soul: their own mothers... Ah, no, they had all awakened Blue Silver Grass.

But only one child had Soul Power, and that child was Gong Yu.

Su Yuntao had a word with Old Tom, handed the Martial Soul certificate to Gong Yu, who was standing beside Old Tom, and then the three of them went their separate ways.

Gong Yu looked at his Martial Soul certificate. Its contents were clear to see.

Name: Gong Yu

Age: 6

Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass

Innate Soul Power: level 1

Place of birth: Blue Silver Village, Nuoding City, Fasinuo Province, Heaven Dou Empire.

Having Innate Soul Power meant he could become a Soul Master. That should have been cause for celebration, but Gong Yu couldn't bring himself to be happy.

As a transmigrator, Gong Yu knew perfectly well how terrible it was to have an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul paired with level 1 Innate Soul Power. To put it bluntly, no matter how hard he worked, without some other fortuitous encounter, level 29 would be his limit in this life.

"I refuse to accept this! As a transmigrator, why don't I have a golden finger?" Gong Yu walked down the road, tilted his head back, and let out a long sigh. "System, if you don't show up soon, my life really will be over."

Unfortunately, no answer came for a long time. But just as Gong Yu thought his golden finger wasn't going to appear, he heard a ding in his mind.

[Charging complete. Starting up...]

[Startup successful.]

[This system is called the Douluo Dalu III Simulator.]

[World bound for simulation: the world of Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King.]

[First startup: one novice gift pack awarded.]

[One free simulation is granted each month.]

[Please claim the novice gift pack.]

"I knew it, I knew it! As a transmigrator, there's no way I could live an ordinary life." Gong Yu looked ahead in excitement and saw that he was only a few steps from home, so he immediately said silently, Claim the novice gift pack.

[Ding... Novice gift pack claimed successfully.]

[Obtained one copy each of the Quanzhen Great Dao Song and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.]

[Obtained one storage space of 1,000 cubic meters.]

[Ding... Cultivation techniques successfully imparted.]

"That's it?" Feeling a warm current flow into his mind, Gong Yu couldn't help shivering.

Then memories of cultivating the techniques appeared directly in his mind.

"Ah... I thought they'd be some brilliant cultivation techniques. Turns out they're martial arts techniques from The Return of the Condor Heroes. Still, they're enough for Douluo, and who knows how many times stronger they are than the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill." Though the techniques he had obtained were only at the martial arts level, Gong Yu wasn't disappointed.

Given his current physical condition, cultivating the Quanzhen Great Dao Song was actually better for his body. It was a basic internal cultivation method used to build a foundation for Quanzhen disciples. Cultivating it could not only raise his Soul Power Level, but also strengthen his foundation and nourish his vitality.

Then there was the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill. Cultivating it not only gave one formidable attack power, but could also improve one's aptitude to a certain degree.

Gong Yu had awakened only level 1 Innate Soul Power, which showed how poor his aptitude was, so the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill was even more useful to him.

Gong Yu was in no hurry to run a simulation. After returning home, he began cultivating the Quanzhen Great Dao Song. Thanks to the system imparting it to him, he grasped the basics instantly.

A day soon passed, and by the time Gong Yu emerged from cultivation, it was already evening.

There was no one else at home. His parents had both died six years ago, caught in the aftermath of the battle between Tang Hao and the Pope of Spirit Hall. Many people in Blue Silver Village had died that day.

Thus, among the children born in the village six years ago, orphans made up the largest group, and Gong Yu was one of them.

When he awakened level 1 Innate Soul Power, Gong Yu had thought there was no hope of taking revenge in this lifetime. But now that he had a golden finger, things were different.

Gong Yu rose from his cross-legged position and went to wash himself. His first successful cultivation session had expelled a great deal of filth from his body, and he now looked as though he had just crawled out of a stinking ditch.

After he finished bathing, a neighbor from next door came over to call Gong Yu to dinner.

Until they grew up, the village orphans took turns eating at a different household each day, up to the age of twelve. On the Douluo Continent, people were generally barely capable of surviving on their own by twelve.

After dinner, Gong Yu returned home and went to bed early.

Lying in bed, he said silently, System, start the simulation.

[Ding... Please select an associated character before the simulation. Different associated characters produce different simulation results.]

[Available associated characters: 1. Tang Wulin 2. Nameless passerby A 3. A Blue Silver Grass plant]

"What the hell? Blue Silver Grass counts as a character too? But is there even a choice here?" The corner of Gong Yu's mouth twitched. It was obvious; there was no point in choosing the second or third option. He said decisively, "I choose 1."

[Ding... Simulation starting.]

[You became Tang Wulin's neighbor.]

[You beat Tang Wulin up whenever you felt like it, always reducing him to tears. But perhaps because he had been beaten so often, your relationship was actually very good.]

[Today, you both turned six. You and Tang Wulin went to Red Mountain Academy in Aolai City for your Martial Soul Awakening.]

[When your turn came, you awakened an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with only half a level of Soul Power. But Tang Wulin, who had awakened his before you, also had Blue Silver Grass, only his had golden lines running through it.]

[Tang Wulin also awakened level 3 Innate Soul Power. You always felt a pressure from his Blue Silver Grass.]

[A few days later, you enrolled at Red Mountain Academy with Tang Wulin and became first-year students.]

[Your aptitude was poor. You cultivated desperately, but after a year, you had only reached level 1 Soul Power. Fortunately, Tang Wulin wasn't much better; after a year, he had only risen from level 3 to level 5. You finally found some comfort in that.]

[In the days that followed, Tang Wulin began beating you up. As it turned out, he had kept a little book recording his grudges against you over the years. Your little boat of friendship began to break apart.]

[Tang Wulin beat you once every day, leaving you black and blue each time.]

[Two more years passed, and you faced a crisis over advancing your education. Red Mountain Academy only provided three years of instruction, and advancing required at least becoming a One-Ring Soul Master. Those who failed to become One-Ring Soul Masters would have to leave without graduating.]

[After three years of cultivation, you had only reached level 4. Tang Wulin, however, had absorbed his first ring three days earlier. Thus, you left without graduating while he continued his education. You began to feel somewhat jealous, and a trace of despair crept into your heart.]

[After the summer break, Tang Wulin went to study at Eastsea Academy, while you could only stay home and lead a miserable life as an ordinary person.]

[You refused to accept it, so you cultivated even harder. At last, five years later, you raised your Soul Power to level 10. You spent all your savings and drew a yellow snake-type Soul Spirit, but it was defective.]

[With no savings left, you couldn't draw again, so you had no choice but to steel yourself and absorb the defective Soul Spirit.]

[You successfully absorbed the Soul Spirit and obtained a Yellow Soul Ring, as well as your first Soul Skill, **Mother's Entanglement**. Unfortunately, that mother wasn't yours.]

[One day, your parents again saw an organization recruiting workers. Tang Wulin's parents had been tricked into going three years ago and still hadn't returned. But the recruiters said Tang Wulin's parents had made a fortune and bought a house elsewhere, so they weren't coming back to live in poverty.]

[You told your parents not to go with the organization, but they were sick of poverty, and you were grown up and no longer needed their care. In the end, they chose to go, but once they left, they never returned.]

[Your Soul Power Level rose more and more slowly. It took another two years to reach level 12, while Tang Wulin had long since gone to study at Shrek Academy and had even made a modest name for himself on the continent. You felt envy, jealousy, and hate.]

[You refused to accept it and began to curse the heavens for their injustice. Why was it that, though you both had Blue Silver Grass, one of you was up in the sky while the other was in a stinking ditch? But you didn't know that Tang Wulin's grandfather was the Plane Master of Douluo Star, representing the heavens of Douluo Star.]

Chapter 2: Simulation Settlement

[Unwilling to give up, you searched everywhere for a way to change your circumstances.]

[You encountered Evil Soul Masters.]

[You joined an Evil Soul Master organization.]

[You cultivated according to the Evil Soul Masters' methods. Your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul evolved into Dark Blue Silver Grass and gained the ability to devour.]

[You began devouring lives to increase your Soul Power.]

[A year later, you became a Three-Ring Soul Elder, reaching level 35 Soul Power.]

[Another year passed, and your Soul Power rose to level 50.]

[You continued cultivating by devouring lives. Another year passed in the blink of an eye, and you advanced faster and faster, becoming a level 62 Soul Emperor.]

[That year, you were only nineteen. A nineteen-year-old Soul Emperor was an extraordinary genius even by the continent's standards. Unfortunately, you were an Evil Soul Master.]

[One day, you encountered Tang Wulin. Seeing him living like a proper person while you looked like a ghost, you decided to take revenge on him.]

[You brought accomplices to surround Tang Wulin and eventually captured him for the time being.]

[You planned to devour Tang Wulin's bloodline before the people from Shitrek Academy found out.]

[You began devouring Tang Wulin's bloodline and discovered many layers of seals inside his body.]

[You undid the seals inside Tang Wulin one by one and devoured the bloodline within them.]

[Tang San's divine thought inside Tang Wulin discovered you and watched with amusement, seemingly making some kind of plan.]

[You devoured the bloodline essence within nine whole seals. Afterward, Tang San directly shook you to death with his divine sense and turned you into nourishment for Tang Wulin to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor's devouring attribute.]

[You died. Simulation ended.]

[Simulation ended. Beginning settlement!]

[Items obtained in this simulation: 1. The Golden Dragon King's bloodline essence from nine seals 2. Evil Soul Master cultivation method 3. One defective snake-type Soul Spirit.]

[Choose one of the three!]

"I choose 1." Gong Yu's eyes lit up. With a choice of one out of three, there was no need to hesitate. He already had cultivation techniques, so there was no reason to choose the Evil Soul Master cultivation method. As for the defective snake-type Soul Spirit, it was even further out of consideration. He decisively chose one.

The next second, a hot current spread directly through his body. His bloodline, muscles, and bones were transformed, and his strength multiplied throughout his body. He was a new man.

Suddenly thinking of something, Gong Yu asked, "System, system, I've obtained part of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline. Will the Golden Dragon King imprisoned in the Divine Realm in this world be all right?"

[Ding... This system is only responsible for simulations, not for answering questions.]

"Tch... If you won't answer, forget it. When I reach the Divine Realm someday, I'll go see for myself." Since the system wouldn't answer, Gong Yu could do nothing about it, so he knew better than to ask again.

Having fused the Golden Dragon King Bloodline into his body, his physical condition had improved noticeably. He thought his Martial Soul should have changed as well, so he summoned his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Sure enough, his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul really had changed. Having been affected by the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, the Blue Silver Grass had turned golden, though his Soul Power Level hadn't changed much.

"My Blue Silver Grass probably shouldn't be called Blue Silver Grass anymore, should it? Blue Gold Grass? Forget it, Blue Gold Grass sounds awful. I'd better stick with Blue Silver Grass."

"Sigh, it doesn't matter what it's called. In any case, my aptitude has improved, so I'll cultivate properly and run another simulation when I get a simulation attempt next month. There are still two months before school starts, so I can simulate twice more before going to Nuoding Academy."

Without further ado, Gong Yu sat cross-legged and began cultivating.

Time always passed quickly during cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, dawn arrived.

When the first pale light appeared on the horizon, Gong Yu slowly opened his eyes. He breathed out a mouthful of turbid air and stood up.

He checked his Soul Power and found that it had already risen to level 2.

The total amount of Soul Power needed to go from level 1 to level 2 wasn't much, so after cultivating during the previous day and throughout the night, he had advanced.

That morning, after eating breakfast at his neighbor's house, Gong Yu returned home to cultivate again.

"I need to make a cultivation plan. From now on, I'll cultivate the Quanzhen Great Dao Song in the morning and at night, and the Dragon Elephant Prajna in the afternoon."

"The Dragon Elephant Prajna is a divine technique used to defend the esoteric sect. It's not an internal technique, but leans more toward body tempering and belongs to the hard-training school. It has thirteen levels in all. Once I've finished cultivating the first level, I should be strong enough to absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring."

Time flew, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.
