From Battle Through the Heavens Simulation to The Great Ruler

Unfortunately, Xiao Feng's journey to Qingshan Town was too early, at least a year before Little Fairy Doctor discovered the Douwang Cave.

Therefore, Xiao Feng could only use the most rudimentary method to check all the cliffs near Qingshan Town.

Fortunately, there aren't many cliffs near Qingshan Town, only six in total. Xiao Feng can check them all in no more than half a month.

Xiao Feng's luck wasn't too good. After arriving at the location of the first cliff, he spent several hours searching it. Although he found a few caves on the cliff, they were all ordinary caves without any treasure.

"Alright! It's getting late, let's rest for today and search for the second cliff tomorrow!"

Xiao Feng looked up at the setting sun in the distance, but ultimately gave up on his plan to act at night and found a cave on a cliff face to crawl into.

After entering the spacious and dry cave, Xiao Feng first sprinkled some medicinal powder near the entrance to repel insects and ants, and then took out some cooked food and fruit wine to enjoy.

While eating dinner, Xiao Feng summoned his character attribute panel, which displayed the following attributes:

Name: Xiao Feng

[Cultivation Level: Two-Star Dou Zhe]

[Bloodline: Armored Titan]

[Technique: Nine Transformations of the Xun Dragon]

[Combat Skills: Storm Dance, Phantom Step, Lion Mountain Split, Swift Wind Step]

[Merit Points: 2573]

[Number of simulations: 1 (30 days remaining)]

Seeing the merit points increase by more than two thousand on the attribute panel, Xiao Feng nodded in satisfaction, and then silently said in his mind, "Start simulation!"

"Ding! Randomly selecting a simulated world..."

"Ding! Simulated world extraction complete!"

Soon the familiar lottery box reappeared, and after spinning rapidly, it finally displayed four large characters: "Tian Long Ba Bu" (The Eight Legions of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils).

"Ding! Please select simulation mode!"

[Text projection simulation (no cost)]

[Simulation of the main body projection (consumes 200 merit points)]

Chapter 20 Saving Azhu

Looking at the information displayed on the simulation panel, Xiao Feng's expression changed slightly. He pondered to himself, "The merit required for the body projection simulation has increased. Could it be because I broke through to the second-star Dou Zhe level? The higher the cultivation level, the more merit is required?"

Although the merit required for the body projection simulation was twice as much as before, Xiao Feng still chose the body projection simulation without hesitation.

Xiao Feng was genuinely curious about the differences between text projection simulation and body projection simulation.

"Ding! Simulation projection of the main body begins!"

As the system notification sounded, Xiao Feng felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if he had been hit on the back of the head with a stick and then thrown into a washing machine that was spinning wildly.

When Xiao Feng recovered from the dizziness and nausea, he found himself in a dense grove of trees.

"Chi chi chi..."

Listening to the birdsong that occasionally echoed through the woods, Xiao Feng blinked in bewilderment.

Could I have time-traveled again?

Just as Xiao Feng was somewhat confused about the situation, information about the body projection simulation suddenly appeared in his mind.

The so-called "body projection simulation" is actually the process of putting part of Xiao Feng's consciousness and the replicated data of his original body's abilities into a simulated world, somewhat similar to a holographic virtual game in online game novels.

During the use of the ontology projection simulation, Xiao Feng can act according to his own will, unlike the random behavior in the text projection simulation.

Since Xiao Feng's current body is merely a projection of his true self, whatever he encounters in the simulated world, such as going into qi deviation or being cursed, will not affect his true self.

Furthermore, although the simulated world is very realistic and seems not much different from the main world, it is easy to distinguish between them.

No matter how realistic the simulated world is, it is ultimately just a virtual world!

Therefore, in the simulated world, no matter whether Xiao Feng does good deeds or punishes evil, he cannot gain merit.

Ending the simulation is also simple: Xiao Feng can choose to end the simulation early, or he can wait until he dies in the simulation world and be forcibly ended.

Not long after Xiao Feng finished sorting through the information in his mind, a commotion suddenly came from the woods ahead.

Perhaps because of the distance, Xiao Feng couldn't hear very clearly, only some curses like "Outrageous!" and "You stinking beggar!"

Since Xiao Feng didn't know his own location, he immediately rushed towards the direction from which the sound came, intending to find someone to find out what was going on.

After passing through the grove of trees, Xiao Feng came to a patch of apricot blossoms.

In the open space in the middle of the apricot blossoms, two groups of people were facing each other.

One side had several hundred people, most of whom were dressed in rags and looked like beggars.

The other side consisted of two men and three women. The two men were middle-aged men of average appearance, while the three girls were outstanding in appearance, each with their own unique charm.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have come into contact with the story character 'A Zhu' and triggered a random projection mission—Save A Zhu!"

Just as Xiao Feng's gaze fell on the three girls, the system notification sounded in his mind again.

"Ding! Mission objective: Change A'Zhu's fate of being mistakenly killed by Qiao Feng. Mission reward: One extra chance to draw a prize."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng's expression changed slightly, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

After each simulation, Xiao Feng gets a free chance to draw a prize. Although it's a random draw, it can be very valuable if used well.

For example, after the Attack on Titan simulation ended last time, Xiao Feng used the random lottery opportunity to draw the Armored Titan's Power, which was worth 2,000 merit points.

If Xiao Feng gets extra chances to win prizes, his chances of getting good items will increase significantly.

At this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly understood the difference between text projection simulation and body projection simulation.

Previously, during the text projection simulation, not only was the behavior of the projected character completely uncontrollable, but the projection task was never triggered.

Xiao Feng suspected that the text projection simulation might be because it was a free option, which meant that the projection task would not be triggered at all.

Xiao Feng spent a total of two hundred merit points to perform this body projection simulation.

In other words, after Xiao Feng completes the mission of rescuing A Zhu, he only needs to use the extra lottery chances he receives to draw a reward worth more than 200 merit points to make it worthwhile.

"interesting."

After staring at Azhu's pretty little face for a while, Xiao Feng's eyes began to change, just like a player in a game seeing an NPC issuing a quest.

Perhaps because Xiao Feng's gaze was too intense, A Zhu, who was whispering to Wang Yuyan and A Bi, turned her head to look at him as if she sensed something.

Faced with A Zhu's questioning gaze, Xiao Feng gave her a harmless smile and nodded.

Seeing that Xiao Feng was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with a handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, A Zhu had a good first impression of him and subconsciously returned a smile.

Seeing this, Abi, who was standing next to Azhu, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sister Azhu, do you know that young man?"

"I don't know you. This is the first time we've met."

A'Zhu shook her head and said, "Judging from his clothes, this person is probably not a member of the Beggars' Sect. He's probably just a rich young master who happened to be passing by."

"Sister Azhu, look, that young man keeps staring at you. Could it be that he's taken a liking to you?" Abi teased with a playful glint in her beautiful eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense. He wasn't staring at me the whole time."

Azhu rolled her eyes at Abi, then pointed at Wang Yuyan beside her and said, "Besides, with Miss Wang Yuyan here, how could she possibly notice a little maid like me?"

"You two are having a fight, why are you dragging me into it?"

Upon hearing A'Zhu's words, Wang Yuyan first shook her head speechlessly, then looked curiously at the young man they were talking about.

However, Wang Yuyan discovered that Xiao Feng was not looking in their direction at all, but was looking at the apricot grove not far away.

Just as Wang Yuyan was about to look away, she saw two figures emerge from the apricot grove.

The leader was a burly man in his thirties, wearing an old gray cloth robe that was slightly tattered.

With thick eyebrows, large eyes, a high nose, and a wide mouth, his square face bore the marks of hardship, yet his every glance exuded authority.

The other person was handsome and elegant, with the air of a noble young master. He was none other than Duan Yu, who had met Wang Yuyan several times.

Chapter 21 The Most Terrible Friend is a Bad Teammate

Duan Yu, who had originally come to support Qiao Feng, was completely dumbfounded when he saw Wang Yuyan, who was dressed in white like snow. He stared at her blankly and could not take his eyes off her.

Wang Yuyan's pretty face flushed slightly, and she turned her head away shyly, thinking to herself, "This person is so rude to look at me like that."

However, seeing that someone admired her looks so much, Wang Yuyan was not really angry. Instead, she felt a sense of vanity being satisfied.

Qiao Feng's gaze swept over everyone before finally settling on Xiao Feng, from whom he sensed a threatening aura.

Amidst the somewhat surprised gazes of the crowd, Qiao Feng suddenly cupped his hands towards Xiao Feng and said, "You must be Young Master Murong, right?"

"No! No!"

Before Xiao Feng could reply, Bao Butong couldn't help but exclaim, "How could this blond kid who hasn't even grown his hair yet be my young master?"

"Chief Qiao, you misunderstand. My name is Xiao Feng, also known as the All-Knowing Scholar of the Martial World."

Xiao Feng returned Qiao Feng's greeting with a fist and palm salute, saying, "Just as this gentleman said, Murong Fu is indeed not qualified to compare with me."

"So it's Young Master Xiao, please..."

"No! No!"

Bao Butong interrupted Qiao Feng directly, shouting with displeasure, "My young master is renowned throughout the martial world. His name, 'Southern Murong, Northern Qiao Feng,' is known to everyone. How could you, this so-called 'Know-It-All,' possibly compare to him?"

"Hahaha……"

Xiao Feng didn't get angry when he heard Bao Butong say that; instead, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Bao Butong looked puzzled and said, "What are you laughing at? Do you think you're funny too?"

"wrong!"

Xiao Feng sneered and said, "I'm laughing at Murong Fu for being so pitiful, having such an unlucky subordinate like you!"

The Murong family had finally built up some prestige in the martial arts world, and it's all been ruined by your foul mouth. With a teammate like you constantly dragging them down, how can they possibly succeed in restoring their kingdom?
