People are in Honkai Impact 3rd, there's a villain simulator.

[When you brought Fu Hua home, her father, Xia, heard that his daughter hadn't returned home all night. He immediately went out to greet her, only to find you and her father alone. Fu Hua was pale and looked like she could barely stand, while you were supporting your waist, appearing very weak.]

[Hua's father, Xia, felt as if struck by lightning, nearly fainting from the shock, and barely managed to stay upright with the support of his disciples.]

[You met Hua's father once during your previous hospitalization, and he had a very good impression of you.]

You stepped forward and greeted the elder. He carefully observed your tall, sturdy figure and handsome face, and immediately recognized you as a martial arts prodigy with limitless potential. He was overjoyed and extremely satisfied. "Hua, this iron tree, has finally blossomed! He's found me such a wonderful son-in-law!"

[Hua's father grabbed you and led you home, warmly preparing a sumptuous meal to entertain you, and even specially arranged for you and Fu Hua to sit together.]

Not long after Qiaoqiao sat down, Hua's father warmly served him a bowl of chicken soup: "Come, come, Qiaoqiao, you've worked hard all night, drink some goji berry chicken soup to nourish your body."

Fu Hua didn't want her father to know that she had gone out in the middle of the night to punish the villains, so she had previously ordered Qiao Qiao to keep it a secret to avoid her father worrying about her and scolding her.

Seeing Hua's father's enthusiasm, Qiaoqiao felt a little strange, but she still accepted the chicken soup and said politely, "It's no trouble at all, it's all what I should do, thank you, Uncle."

Seeing Qiaoqiao's humble and polite demeanor, Hua's father felt a bit distant: "Qiaoqiao, we're all family now, why are you still calling me uncle?"

Upon hearing Fu Hua's father's words, Qiao Qiao was so shocked that she almost spat out all the chicken soup in her mouth. Fu Hua blushed even more: "Dad, Qiao Qiao and I are not in that kind of relationship. I would rather marry a chicken or a dog than marry him!"

Hearing Fu Hua speak so disparagingly of her, Qiao Qiao was very unhappy, but she still suppressed her dissatisfaction and clarified the misunderstanding: "Hua is right, nothing happened between her and me."

"So you're not my son-in-law after all?"

Hearing your and Fu Hua's explanations, the old man's joy vanished instantly. He sadly put down his chopsticks, stood up, turned away, and sighed, "I thought you were my son-in-law, and I even planned to pass on this martial arts school worth tens of millions, as well as all the antiques and gold I've collected over the years, to you. It's just a pity..."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao could no longer sit still and immediately knelt down on both knees: "Father-in-law, please accept my bow, please entrust... Wu... no, my daughter to my care!"

Seeing Qiaoqiao kneeling and kowtowing, Hua's father quickly turned around and helped Qiaoqiao up from the ground: "My dear son-in-law, please get up quickly!"

"So, inheriting the martial arts school also involves antiques and gold..."

"Haha, as long as you take good care of my daughter, you can take all of my family's assets if you want!"

"Father-in-law! How generous!"

Seeing how much Qiaoqiao cared about the marriage, Hua's father stroked his chin with satisfaction: "Tomorrow morning, I will have the matchmaker deliver the dowry to your home. You don't need to worry about the wedding banquet. I have connections to book the best hotel venue in the city. I have prepared the bridal chamber for you. You just need to put on your groom's attire and consummate your marriage with Hua."

Hearing about the all-inclusive service arranged by Hua's father, even Qiao Qiao felt it was a bit outrageous: "Father-in-law, isn't this a bit too hasty?"

"I'm not in a hurry at all. I'm still looking for a grandchild to celebrate his full moon!"

Seeing that her father had arranged her marriage perfectly and even thought about the children, Fu Hua reached out and grabbed Qiao Qiao's ear: "Dad, don't listen to this brat's nonsense. I... I was just drunk last night. Nothing happened between him and me!"

"Qiaoqiao, do you think this is how it is?"

Fu Hua suddenly pulled Qiao Qiao's ear, making Qiao Qiao grit her teeth in pain: "Yes, yes, you're right, I was just joking with Father."

Hearing Qiaoqiao's words, Hua's father felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water and hung his head in dejection. It was rare to have such a good son-in-law, but his daughter just couldn't get it. When would he ever be able to realize his plan to have a grandson?

"Sigh... I thought we'd finally found someone who could inherit the martial arts school..."

Hearing her father's words, Fu Hua said with dissatisfaction, "Father, I can inherit the martial arts school. Why do we need to find another son-in-law?"

"Fu Hua, you have indeed worked very hard, but if it's to inherit the martial arts school, it's better to be a man. Times have changed now. Since there's no successor, then... I might as well close this place down sometime."

Hearing her father's words, Fu Hua felt a mix of emotions. She didn't want the martial arts school where she grew up to close down because there was no heir. She glanced at him, then shook her head, thinking, "If you want me to marry Qiao Qiao, you might as well kill me. Besides, I was so violent towards him, he definitely wouldn't like me."

However, Qiao Qiao had a different thought. His talent as a "martial arts prodigy" allowed him to learn any martial art with just a glance. The Hua family's martial arts school had two hundred disciples and was the oldest and largest martial arts school in Cangzhou City. If he could learn martial arts here, he would definitely be able to quickly improve his strength and cope with the upcoming third collapse.

“Father, although I cannot be your son-in-law to inherit the martial arts school, I would like to join your school.”

Upon hearing your request, Fu Hua was the first to stand up and object: "No, our martial arts school must never recruit disciples with wicked intentions!"

“Hua, how can this be called having bad intentions? I think he has great potential.”

Hua's father was now eager for Qiaoqiao to marry his daughter, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Qiaoqiao, he is a kind and generous person, I like him very much, and I absolutely agree to him joining the martial arts school!"

With her father's approval, Qiao Qiao immediately bowed and became his disciple, while secretly glancing at Fu Hua with a smug smile.

Seeing Qiao Qiao's sinister smile of triumph, Fu Hua immediately realized that he must have other intentions: "Father, Qiao Qiao can join our martial arts school, but he must beat me first!"

Hua's father really wanted Qiaoqiao to join, but since Fu Hua was so opposed, he couldn't accept her if she didn't agree. So he turned to Qiaoqiao and asked, "Qiaoqiao, what do you think?"

“I can totally accept this match. If I lose, I can choose not to join the martial arts school, but what if I win?”

Hearing your provocation, Fu Hua said confidently and arrogantly, "I will give you the right to inherit the martial arts school, and I will serve you as your servant without a single complaint!"

Fu Hua was extremely confident in her victory because she had never lost to Qiao Qiao before, and she had never been defeated even when Qiao Qiao teamed up with multiple people.

Qiaoqiao readily accepted her challenge with satisfaction.

[The two of you began your battle on the arena. Fu Hua used her self-created Inch Heart Fist technique, but what she thought would be an easy victory unexpectedly turned into a stalemate.]

"This is impossible!" Fu Hua stared at your technique in disbelief. "How do you know my self-created Inch Heart Fist?"

You fought her to a stalemate using Fu Hua's self-created Inch Heart Fist technique, a smile playing on your lips: "Nothing is impossible."

"Watch closely, Fu Hua, this is how you use the Inch Heart Fist Technique!"

"Inch-Strike - Heaven-Opening!"

[As soon as you finished speaking, you combined the Inch Heart Fist Technique with the Void Sword Qi, gathering the Honkai energy contained in the air on your fist, unleashing the true power of the Inch Heart Fist Technique.]

Seeing the power contained in your fist, Fu Hua dared not take it head-on and could only dodge to the side.

Your punch, imbued with the power of the Void Sword, slammed into the arena floor, instantly creating a massive crater half a person's height.

[Hua's father was stunned into place when he saw your punch, while Hua, looking at the deep crater you created, felt a pang of fear. If he hadn't dodged in time, he might already be...]

Chapter Seventeen: The Prelude to the Third Collapse

After witnessing the power of your Inch Punch - Heaven-Opening Technique, Hua's father stared in astonishment, but upon realizing what was happening, he decided to end the match early to avoid harming Fu Hua.

You initially thought the match would end without a clear winner, but unexpectedly, Fu Hua lowered her head with a dim gaze, biting her lower lip in resentment, and stammered, "I lost this match."

After you defeated Fu Hua, Hua's father took you as his disciple. According to the time of your entry into the sect, you should be the 308th disciple, while Fu Hua would be the 13th. She should be your senior sister.

However, you didn't want to be inferior to Fu Hua in terms of seniority, so you volunteered to become Fu Hua's senior brother.

Because of your previous defeat, Fu Hua obeys your every word as agreed, and her father also agreed to let you become her senior brother. However, since you were not among the first batch of disciples, Fu Hua's father gave you a special number in front of all the other disciples: 0.

Zero is the beginning of everything, and also the end of everything.

The fact that he gave you this number undoubtedly means that you are his most beloved disciple, and also his last.

After joining the dojo, you diligently train every day. For you, the best way to train is undoubtedly to challenge strong opponents and learn their martial arts in battle.

[You started challenging the top-ranked seniors on your very first day.]

After each victory, you would go to Fu Hua's room at 8 PM, have her massage your back, and fool around with her until late at night before leaving.

On the first day, you defeated your twelfth senior brother and entered Fu Hua's room. The martial arts disciples looked at you with surprise. Only the senior brother who was defeated by you and had always secretly loved Fu Hua was heartbroken and went out to drink and drown his sorrows.

The next day, you defeated your eleventh senior brother and entered Fu Hua's room. The martial arts school disciples began to look at you differently, and Hua's father was secretly delighted.

On the third day, the martial arts school disciples looked at you with deep respect, and Hua's father smiled broadly as he looked at you.

On the fourth day, the martial arts school disciples began to bow to you from afar, and Hua's father prepared nourishing soup for you.

Later, you defeated all the disciples at the martial arts school and learned from your master that martial arts masters in Cangzhou City regularly hold competitions, and the rankings are determined by points based on the results of these competitions.

So you decided to fight these masters from Canghai City to learn martial arts, and thus began challenging their martial arts schools.

[You defeated the 180th ranked expert and obtained the Gale Palm technique.]

You defeated the 170th ranked expert and obtained the Cangyun Sword Technique.

You defeated the 173rd ranked expert and obtained the Dragon-Capturing Claw.

You defeated the 155th ranked expert and obtained the Mysterious Step technique.

You defeated the number one ranked master and obtained the Shaking Mountain Fist Technique.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. You have defeated more than a hundred masters in Canghai City, possess more than a hundred kinds of martial arts techniques, and there is no martial artist on the entire continent who can rival you.

[Achieved a special title—Supreme Martial Arts Master.]

[The innate talent "Martial Arts Prodigy" evolves into "Master of All Martial Arts": You have honed human skill and strength to their limits. You can skillfully wield any weapon and utilize all martial arts techniques to their fullest potential, reaching the pinnacle of mastery.]

[The Tai Xu Sword Qi (Heart Essence) realm has been upgraded to "Dustless".]

[Obtained the Form Essence of the Five Elements of the Taixu Sword Qi.]

[Having acquired the Tai Xu Sword Qi (Soul Essence), your swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle of mastery, where having no sword is superior to having a sword.]

In the past six months, you have defeated almost all the masters of martial arts schools in Cangzhou, and your reputation has spread far and wide.

[You go to Fu Hua's room every day, and her attitude towards you has changed from initial rejection and disgust to harmony. The martial arts school disciples and her master have also become accustomed to your daily visits to her room.]

[During the six months since you joined the sect, besides sparring with your fellow disciples and other martial arts schools, you've also been fighting Fu Hua every day.]

[In the past six months, Fu Hua has grown stronger through her battles with you. You only recited the Sword Heart Mantra to her a few times, yet she mastered the Tai Xu Sword Qi without any instruction. This makes you marvel at her martial arts talent, especially in terms of comprehension, which is actually no less than yours.]

The moonlight, like snow, spilled onto the shimmering lake water, and the clear, transparent surface reflected two figures like a mirror.

Fu Hua held a sword finger in one hand and repeatedly stabbed Qiao Qiao with a peach wood sword in the other.

Qiao Qiao's eyes were sharp, always following Fu Hua's movements. She was on the defensive, but then a glint flashed in her eyes. She switched from defense to offense, knocking the wooden sword out of Fu Hua's hand and pointing the blade at her neck.

"I...lost again..."

Fu Hua bit her red lips, speaking with some resentment.

Qiaoqiao put away the peach wood sword in her hand and said questioningly, "Same as always, if you lose to me, you have to help me with my homework tomorrow."

Hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Fu Hua remained silent. Half a year ago, she still had the mind to scold him for giving his homework to others, but now she had lost to Qiao Qiao countless times and had long forgotten how many times she had helped him with his homework.

The person was completely numb.

Qiao Qiao stood by the lake, watching the maple leaves fall with the wind. He reached out to catch them, and a surge of true energy swirled in his palm, causing the leaves to flutter and dance. But just as he was trying to condense the true energy into a sword shape and unleash the Tai Xu Sword God, the true energy barely managed to condense into a sword shape before bursting like a punctured balloon.

A loud "bang" startled Fu Hua. She looked up and saw Qiao Qiao standing by the lake with her brows furrowed, muttering to herself, "God, God is the ultimate in change, the wonder of all things, which cannot be questioned by form."

Upon hearing this mysterious incantation, Fu Hua asked in confusion, "What kind of mental cultivation technique is this?"

"What I just recited was the most powerful martial art in the world."

Upon hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Fu Hua blinked in surprise: "The most powerful martial art?"

"You actually mastered something like this."

"No." Qiao Qiao shook her head regretfully: "I'm afraid I won't be able to master the Taixu Sword God technique."

Fu Hua covered his chin with his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "If even you can't master it, then I'm afraid there is no one in this world who can master this martial art."

"No...this martial art can only be mastered by one person."
