Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III to Screw Over Tang San

"Even if it weren't a true dragon species, it could take another step down and become an earth dragon species. Failing that, it could take another step down and degenerate from a dragon into a flood dragon. If that still didn't work, it could degenerate from a flood dragon into a python. Any of those would be fine, but it couldn't possibly degenerate straight from a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon into a pig.

"But since your Martial Soul is a pig, according to your Martial Soul Theory, you can only be the son of your mother and someone with a pig or hog Martial Soul. You absolutely cannot be Yu Yuanzhen's son."

"No, impossible! This is slander! I'm the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's patriarch. My father is Yu Yuanzhen..." Yu Xiaogang seemed to have been tangled up in Gong Yu's argument.

Even this master of theory couldn't believe that his own theory had argued away his own bloodline. Terrified, he immediately fled without stopping to choose a path.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang run off, Gong Yu was dumbfounded and couldn't help shouting, "Grandmasturbator, don't run! I've only covered the first theory! There are nine more, nine more!"

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang never once looked back, Gong Yu shook his head and muttered, "A grown man like that, and his mental fortitude is so poor." After muttering to himself, Gong Yu left the academic affairs office.

Just then, Gong Yu suddenly heard a "ding" in his head.

[Ding... The host accidentally triggered and completed a hidden mission, causing Yu Xiaogang to doubt his own bloodline. One simulation attempt has been awarded.]

"Holy crap, that works too?" On his way to the school building, Gong Yu's eyes lit up when he suddenly heard that he had completed a hidden mission and received a reward. He had now accumulated four simulation attempts.

As he walked, a little girl in pink came toward him and asked, "Hello, could you tell me how to get to Dorm Seven?"

Gong Yu glanced at the girl, and his mood immediately soured.

He had only just sent Tang San's teacher packing, and now Tang San's wife had shown up. And Tang San's wife was plainly a public bus. In all those tens of thousands of years, who knew how many times she had gone into heat or how many Soul Beasts had played with her? Just thinking about it gave Gong Yu a shiver.

"How do you get there? On your feet, of course!" Gong Yu didn't know where Dorm Seven was; it was his first day too. Besides, he wasn't a work-study student, so he couldn't be bothered with this hooligan rabbit.

With those words, Gong Yu went on his way. This rabbit was a Soul Ring he had reserved for himself, and he planned to slaughter her in front of Tang San at the Soul Master Tournament someday.

"What kind of person is that?!" The hooligan rabbit stood there alone, stamping her feet in anger.

Gong Yu wasn't a work-study student. Over the years, the Spirit Hall had tried to make some compensation for the destruction of Blue Silver Village during Qian Xunji's battle back then. Every household had received compensation, and Gong Yu naturally had a share, though Village Chief Tom had managed it for him because he was still young.

Now that Gong Yu was going to school, old Tom had returned all the money to him.

Since he had money, Gong Yu naturally wasn't going to waste his time as a work-study student. Work-study students had to work themselves to the bone doing chores for the school every day; he might as well use that time to cultivate more.

Gong Yu soon reached the dormitory, but the rules there seemed to be the same everywhere.

The moment he entered, someone launched a sneak attack on him, but Gong Yu knocked the attacker flat with a single punch. He had now cultivated the first layer of Dragon Elephant Prajna to perfection, and he wasn't afraid even to fight a Hundred-Year Soul Beast. How could a mere student withstand one of his punches?

"Before you sneak attack someone next time, you'd better weigh your own strength first." Ignoring the person still lying on the floor, unable to get up, Gong Yu found himself an empty bed and put his bundle on it.

After a while, the person he had knocked down finally recovered.

He got to his feet, walked up to Gong Yu, and said awkwardly, "Haha... Hello, my name is Luo Yun. I'm the head of this dorm.

"I didn't mean to sneak attack you just now. It's a dorm rule to give new students a 'welcome gift.' Also, the strongest person in the dorm is the head. But you really are strong-I couldn't beat you even with a sneak attack. So from now on, you're our dorm head."

"I don't have the time for that. Whoever wants to be dorm head can do it, as long as it doesn't affect me," Gong Yu replied flatly. In this life, he had long since lost interest in such things. It wasn't as if he had never held the position at school in his previous life.

"But those are the rules. The strongest person is the dorm head." Luo Yun was delighted to hear Gong Yu say that. In truth, he was quite reluctant to give up the position, because being dorm head often gave him opportunities to curry favor with Xiao Chenyu, the city lord's son.

But since that was the dorm's rule, he still had to put on an act. He thought he could pretend to reluctantly continue as dorm head in a moment.

"Take it or leave it. What's it to me?" Gong Yu didn't want to deal with an idiot like Luo Yun. After tidying his bed a little, he went straight out to buy daily necessities.

Chapter 6: Level ten

By the time he returned from buying some daily necessities outside the school, it was nearly dusk.

Gong Yu first went to the cafeteria for dinner, then returned straight to the dorm to cultivate.

Soon, night fell.

It was his first night living at school, and he wasn't quite used to it, making it hard to fall asleep. Gong Yu promptly sat cross-legged and decided to run another simulation.

"System, start the simulation."

[Simulation starting. Please select an associated individual: 1. Xu Tian (the Xuanming Sect master's illegitimate son) 2. A random passerby B 3. An electric eel]

"Holy crap, what kind of associated individuals are these? Is there even a choice?" After complaining, Gong Yu said decisively, "I choose 1. But the Xuanming Sect still hasn't been wiped out by Douluo Dalu III? Sure enough, a softshell turtle lives a thousand years, a tortoise ten thousand. But they've been reduced to supporting characters anyway, so who cares whether they get wiped out?"

[Starting simulation.]

[Age 0: You were born on the Dou Ling Continent. Your mother passed away after giving birth to you.]

[Your father, the Xuanming Sect master, sent someone to bring you back to the clan and placed you in the care of his legal wife, the Xu family's matriarch.]

[The Xu family matriarch had borne no children for many years, so she treated you as her own.]

[Age 1: The Xu family matriarch bore your father a son, who was named Xu Dingbang.]

[The Xu family matriarch still treated you well on the surface and did not mistreat you in private, but she was no longer as affectionate as before.]

[Time flew by. Five years passed, and you turned six. The clan awakened your Martial Soul, and you awakened a Black Tortoise Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power.]

[The Black Tortoise was an evolved form of the Xuanming Turtle. Only clan members with the Black Tortoise Martial Soul were qualified to become clan patriarch.]

[Your father was delighted and rewarded you with a bottle of Mystic Water Pills. In his heart, he had already chosen you as his future successor.]

[The Xu family matriarch felt that you threatened her son's position and made plans in secret.]

[Your father bought you a yellow Golden Hawksbill Turtle Soul Spirit from the Spirit Pagoda's branch in the Dou Ling Empire.]

[You absorbed the Golden Hawksbill Turtle Soul Spirit, obtaining your First Soul Ring and your first Soul Skill, Black Tortoise Golden Shield.]

[Your father was delighted, but his legal wife grew even more jealous of you, though she still pretended to treat you well on the surface.]

[The Xu family matriarch's plan finally began. One night, an Evil Soul Master organization attacked, and you were beaten to death.]

[Simulation ended.]

[Calculating results. The items obtained in this simulation are as follows: 1. One bottle of Mystic Water Pills 2. One yellow-rank Hundred-Year Golden Hawksbill Turtle Soul Spirit.]

[Choose one of the two rewards.]

"I choose 1." A meaningful smile appeared on Gong Yu's face. Did he even need to think about it? Of course he would choose the Mystic Water Pills. Besides increasing Soul Power, this kind of pill could cleanse the marrow, which was exactly what he needed at this stage.

[Ding... Selection successful. You obtained one bottle of Mystic Water Pills.]

The next second, a bottle of Mystic Water Pills appeared in his storage space.

Gong Yu silently said, Retrieve the Mystic Water Pills.

In the blink of an eye, a small bottle of Mystic Water Pills appeared in his hand. He pulled out the stopper and looked inside. There were as many as ten Mystic Water Pills.

"Whoa... So many Mystic Water Pills. I reckon they're enough to get me to Soul Elder." Looking at the pills in the little bottle, Gong Yu was overjoyed. He immediately took one out and swallowed it.

Then he immediately circulated the Quanzhen Great Dao Song and began absorbing the pill's medicinal power. Before he knew it, he had entered a meditative state.

By the time he woke again, dawn was near.

Gong Yu checked his Soul Power and found that it had already reached level ten, filling him with delight.

But then he immediately smelled something foul. He sniffed and discovered that the stench was coming from his own body.

He hurried into the bathroom and washed for nearly half an hour before he was clean.

He looked at the clock on the wall. It was already five in the morning, and Gong Yu no longer felt sleepy, so he left the dorm, found a relatively clean spot on the training ground, and sat cross-legged, ready to cultivate.

But he had only recently emerged from meditation, and at this time he couldn't fully immerse his mind in cultivation.

"Alas... Forget it. I won't cultivate for now today. While it's still dark, I might as well run another simulation." Gong Yu sighed and, having found himself an excuse, prepared to simulate again.

"System, start the simulation."

[Starting simulation. Please select an associated mission: 1. Babylon, the blacksmith's son 2. Nameless passerby C 3. A worm Soul Beast inside a pile of poop]

"What the hell? What kind of thing is a worm Soul Beast inside a pile of poop? Douluo Dalu III really is bizarre. Could it be a new species born under the laws of heaven and earth because Soul Beasts are nearly extinct?"

"Forget it, forget it. It has nothing to do with me. I choose 1."

[Simulation starting.]

[Age 6: After being a fool for years, you suddenly became a different person and were no longer foolish.]

[It turned out that you were a visitor from another world. Your soul had crossed into this world, and you had taken over the blacksmith's foolish son.]

[Your blacksmith father took you to awaken your Martial Soul.]

[You awakened a Martial Soul: a large smithing hammer, with innate level-six Soul Power.]

[Your hammer Martial Soul had undergone a mutation. Lightning wreathed the hammer, and its power seemed to have increased.]

[Your father decided not to let you add a Soul Spirit yet. Instead, he would use a body-tempering method passed down in the family to temper your body for one year.]

[A year passed, and you turned seven. After a year of tempering, your body had grown very strong. After testing you, your father believed you could directly add a Thousand-Year Soul Spirit.]

[Although you were a transmigrator, you had only been a street beggar before transmigrating, and you were illiterate. Thus, you had few ideas of your own and obeyed your father in everything.]

[The next day, your father bought you a purple Thunder Jiao Soul Spirit, around 1,000 years old.]

[You began absorbing your First Soul Ring, but absorbing the Thousand-Year Soul Spirit caused you immense pain.]

[You endured and endured and endured, but in the end you couldn't hold on. Your father had no time to interrupt you before your body exploded, killing you.]

[You died at the age of seven, becoming the most tragic transmigrator.]

[Simulation ended. Calculating results.]

[The items obtained in this simulation are as follows: 1. One copy of the blacksmith's ancestral body-tempering method 2. One Thousand-Year Thunder Flood Dragon Soul Spirit.]

[Choose one of the two.]

"As a fellow transmigrator, I feel sorry for myself in the simulation. But at the same time, this indirectly proves that the simulator can simulate transmigrators."

"If that's the case, then it might be possible to simulate a transmigrator from an immortal cultivation world in the future. When that happens, perhaps I might even obtain a cultivation technique from the immortal cultivation world."

The more Gong Yu thought about it, the more possible it seemed. He immediately looked at the reward options again.

"There's no need to choose 1. I have the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, which is countless times better than that lousy ancestral body-tempering method."

"So, I choose 2."

After Gong Yu made his choice, a purple Soul Spirit was placed into his storage space the next second, and he immediately took it out.

Chapter 7: First Soul Ring

Beneath the night sky, Gong Yu held the Thousand-Year Thunder Flood Dragon Soul Spirit.

In the moonlight, through the transparent outer membrane, he could clearly see the Thunder Jiao Soul Spirit inside. Arcs of electricity wreathed its body, but it was still asleep, and it looked rather cute.

After pondering for a while, Gong Yu murmured, "I've cultivated the first layer of Dragon Elephant Prajna to perfection. My physical constitution can handle a Thousand-Year Soul Ring without any problem."

"On top of that, the pressure from the portion of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline in my body gives me an absolute advantage when absorbing dragon or sub-dragon Soul Rings. Even if there were a two-thousand-year dragon Soul Ring beside me right now, I'd be confident enough to give it a try. So absorbing this Thunder Jiao Soul Spirit shouldn't be a problem."

After careful consideration, Gong Yu resolutely decided to absorb the Thunder Jiao Soul Spirit.

He clenched his hand around the Soul Spirit, shattering the transparent spherical membrane enclosing the Thunder Jiaolong. The Thunder Jiao Soul Spirit inside instantly opened its eyes, arcs of electricity flashed all over its body, and finally it turned into a pale-purple Soul Ring.

Gong Yu held two fingers together and used his Soul Power to draw the purple Soul Ring toward his body. Then he gently closed his eyes and began circulating the Quanzhen Great Dao Song to absorb the pale-purple Soul Ring's power.

Time passed bit by bit. An hour and a half later, the first fish-belly white had yet to appear on the horizon.

But Gong Yu had already slowly opened his eyes. He checked his Soul Power, and a delighted look appeared on his face. Although he didn't know how many levels he had gained, he knew it was definitely more than one.

What was more, he had taken a Mystic Water Pill. The levels gained from it had only shown his level-ten Soul Power; the gains beyond level ten had not appeared because he hadn't absorbed a Soul Ring, but that didn't mean he hadn't gained any levels.

Besides, he had absorbed a Thousand-Year Soul Spirit. Apart from breaking through his bottleneck, absorbing the Soul Spirit could not possibly have given him only one level of Soul Power.

But to find out exactly what level he was, he would have to go to the Spirit Hall for a test.

"Then let's try out my first Soul Skill."

With a thought from Gong Yu, his golden Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul materialized. It was no longer a tiny Blue Silver Grass, but had grown into a golden vine with many branches. Moreover, because he had absorbed the Thunder Jiao Soul Spirit, arcs of electricity danced over every inch of the golden Blue Silver Grass.

"First Soul Skill, Thunder Vine Entanglement."

As Gong Yu's words rang out, the Blue Silver Grass transformed into countless vines bearing the power of lightning and lashed forward, fiercely wrapping around a large tree about ten years old, fifty meters ahead.

In the blink of an eye, the entire trunk was densely wrapped in Blue Silver Grass. With a thought from Gong Yu, the Blue Silver Grass wreathed in arcs of electricity instantly tightened.

Several cracking sounds rang out as the whole tree was crushed into fragments. Charred black marks from lightning burns remained on the fragments, and faint arcs of electricity still flickered over some of them.

"This thousand-year Soul Skill is really powerful, and the Blue Silver Grass is very tough too." After murmuring this, Gong Yu expressed great satisfaction with his first Soul Skill.

Just then, however, he suddenly felt the Qi and blood churning inside him. He immediately sat cross-legged, gently closed his eyes, and circulated the Quanzhen Great Dao Song. With a boom inside him, a membrane seemed to break.

He opened his eyes, unable to keep a delighted look off his face. "The Quanzhen Great Dao Song has broken through to the second layer, but the Qi and blood in my body are still churning. What on earth is going on?"

"Could it be because of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline?"

"I received it as a reward from the simulator. I absorbed the essence of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline from within Tang Wulin's nine seals in the simulator, but I don't have a God King father to place seals in my body. So that should be why my Qi and blood are churning."

"No, at this rate I'll die from my Qi and blood swelling. I need to ask the system right away. Even if it's unwilling to answer, I have to ask. I refuse to believe it'll remain indifferent when I'm about to die."
