Chapter 62: Another Simulation, Ice Clan Disciples? Descendants of Ascended Beings?
After completing the training,

Lu Yu pulled the Fire Crystal Card out of the groove, looked at the remaining four hundred Fire Energy Points on the card, and couldn't help but sigh.

Over the past three months, I have received a total of 900 Fire Energy Points from the academy, which, combined with the 2,500 Fire Energy Points I had previously acquired, brings my total to 3,400 points.

Now, only this much is left.

Even a month of cultivation wouldn't be enough.

"It's time to go out."

"We haven't even had a simulation this month yet..."

With that thought in mind, Lu Yu got up. In the past three months, he had also conducted two simulations.

The first simulation yielded good results, obtaining a low-grade spiritual artifact, the Crimson Flame Cauldron. This cauldron is inscribed with a fire-controlling spiritual array, which, when activated, allows for precise control of the flames, greatly benefiting alchemy.

The second simulation yielded a low-level Earth-rank combat skill—Thunderous Thousandfold Slash—which proved somewhat useless to him.

After all, with his current level of knowledge, combat techniques of this rank are hardly worthy of his attention. He can only temporarily store them in his storage ring for future trading purposes.

"Let's go back first."

With that thought in mind, Lu Yu pushed open the door to the No. 1 training room, and scorching energy mist escaped from the crack in the door.

He took a deep breath of the fresh air outside and walked out of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

Soon after,

Inside a quiet courtyard.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I smelled an enticing aroma of food. There I saw Ziyan sprawled on the stone table, completely unladylike, with a roast chicken in her left hand and a pastry stuffed into her mouth with her right, her cheeks puffed out like a hamster.

Little Fairy Doctor shook her head helplessly to the side, holding a plate of freshly cooked braised pork in her hand.

"You're back just in time."

When Little Fairy Doctor saw Lu Yu, her eyes crinkled into a smile. She took out a letter from her sleeve and said, "Qing Lin just wrote that he has absorbed the Earth Core Tempering Milk you gave him and has broken through to the Three-Star Dou Shi level."

As she spoke, she pointed to the sumptuous meal on the table and said, "I originally wanted to wait for you to come back so we could eat together, but..."

He glanced at Zi Yan, who was wolfing down her food, and chuckled, "Some people can't wait any longer."

Zi Yan raised her oil-stained face and said matter-of-factly, "Cultivation takes a lot of physical strength, okay!"

She stuffed another piece of pastry into her mouth and added vaguely, "And the food that Sister Fairy Doctor makes... um... is much better than what the academy provides for free!"

Seeing this, Lu Yu smiled helplessly, then took the letter from Little Fairy Doctor and began to read it.

After a moment, he put down the letter in his hand, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"Qinglin has become a Dou Shi, it's time to find her a lineage to inherit."

Thinking of this, he glanced at Zi Yan at the dining table.

He thought to himself, "I'll wait until this little rascal leaves. If I get another rare treasure like the Dragon Pattern Fruit, wouldn't I be at a huge loss..."

Zi Yan seemed to notice his gaze, and mumbled with a chicken leg in her mouth, "What are you looking at?"

She suddenly let out a burp and patted her round little belly: "I'm full! Little Fairy Doctor, I want to eat this honey-glazed chicken leg again tomorrow!"

Only after the purple figure hopped and skipped away outside the courtyard gate did Lu Yu close the door.

He turned to Little Fairy Doctor and said gently, "I have just broken through and need to recuperate for a while to stabilize my realm. Please guard the door for me."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly and gently put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands: "Don't worry about your breathing, I'll just take care of the medicinal herbs outside the courtyard."

Lu Yu nodded and then walked towards his room.

...I entered the room and gently closed the door.

Lu Yu sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

As my breathing gradually calmed down, a pale blue light curtain slowly unfolded before my eyes.

[Ding! Simulation attempts have been refreshed. The host has one simulation opportunity remaining. Do you wish to begin simulation?]

"Turn on!"

[Ding! Extracting a simulated identity for the host—]

[Selection successful. Please choose one of the following three roles.]

[I. Nine Nether Guards of the Great Luo Heaven Domain—You are a Nine Nether Guard within the Nine Nether Palace, one of the nine king forces under the Great Luo Heaven Domain in the northern border of the Tianluo Continent. Due to the long-term disappearance of the Lord of the Nine Nether Palace, your situation in the Great Luo Heaven Domain is not optimistic.]

[Second, Descendant of the Ice Spirit Clan—You are a descendant of a branch of the ancient Ice Spirit Clan. Your father was an unparalleled genius who ascended from a lower plane called the Gu Realm. In just a hundred years, he achieved the Perfected Earthly Sovereign Realm. Later, he married a woman from a branch of the Ice Spirit Clan, and you were born.]

[Third, Holy Spirit Academy Freshman—Due to your innate Earth-level spiritual vein, you have been exceptionally admitted to the Holy Spirit Academy, the foremost of the five academies, and become a student of the Holy Spirit Academy.]

Please make your choice——

"The Great Luo Heavenly Domain?"

"The Earthly Supreme power controlled by Mandala, the adopted daughter of the Heavenly Emperor?"

Lu Yu's eyes lit up, but then he seemed to have thought of something, shook his head, and said, "It's a pity that his identity is that of a Nine Nether Guard. The forces under the Great Luo Heaven Domain are divided into three emperors and nine kings, and the Nine Nether Palace can be said to be the weakest among them."

"And judging from the situation, since neither Mu Chen nor Jiu You are in Jiu You Palace, it's not even as good as an ordinary Supreme-level power. Even a dog wouldn't go there..."

"As for the other two options..."

Lu Yu's gaze lingered between the remaining two options, his slender fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the edge of the bed.

"The Ice Spirit Clan..."

He pondered in a low voice, recalling information about this ancient race. Despite being forcibly invaded by the Martial Ancestor, this ancient race, with a Heavenly Sovereign presiding over it, still possessed a profound foundation far exceeding that of ordinary Heavenly Sovereign forces, and even leaving existences like the Holy Spirit Academy far behind.

More importantly, the father of this person was an ascendant from a lower plane—he achieved the perfection of the Earthly Supreme in just a hundred years, such talent is truly remarkable.

"Just choose this one."

Immediately, with a thought in mind, Lu Yu made his choice.

[Selection successful! Identity loading...]

[Simulation begins——]

[In your first year, at the age of six, you began cultivating. Although you only awakened an Earth-grade spiritual vein, under the influence of your father's special bloodline, you unexpectedly awakened an Ice Spirit Body. The combination of these two factors allowed your cultivation speed to rival that of a Heaven-grade spiritual vein, progressing by leaps and bounds in your cultivation.]

[In the second year, thanks to your father's status as a guest elder of the Ice Spirit Clan, you gained access to abundant cultivation resources. At the age of seven, you broke through to the Divine Soul Realm, allowing you to enter the branch's library to choose your main cultivation technique.]

To avoid attracting attention, you carefully chose the Foundation Establishment chapter of the clan's most powerful cultivation technique, the "Northern Darkness Ice Soul Scripture"—a technique specifically designed for cultivators below the Supreme Realm.

[In the third year, you broke through to the Fusion Realm. Your mother was very happy. An eight-year-old reaching the Three Heavens Realm is rare even in the main branch of the Ice Spirit Clan, and an extremely rare top genius in a branch. She wanted to send you to the main branch to cultivate, but your father disagreed.]

After a heated argument, your mother was eventually persuaded by your father, and from then on, your father began to teach you about spiritual practice.

In the fourth year, your father began to teach you the first volume of the "Insect Control Manual," a unique art he created in the world of Gu. As one of the few grandmasters of spirit insects in the vast world, his attainments in the art of insects are unfathomable...

He explained to you that the true way to control insects lies not in controlling the insects themselves, but in controlling their souls. All things possess a spirit; the insect is merely a vessel, the soul is the essence. The ultimate truth is the same, and the way to control insects can master far more than just spiritual insects—

[Spiritual snakes, spiritual toads, and even birds and beasts...]

This is remarkably similar to the method used by experts at the Divine Soul Realm to refine and control the essence of spirit beasts.
