From Battle Through the Heavens Simulation to The Great Ruler

Even though the seal on Hai Bodong's body has not been lifted, he still possesses the strength of a Dou Ling.

Unless Xiao Feng transforms into a colossal giant and uses his transformation explosion as a trump card to instantly kill Hai Bodong, he has no way to snatch anything from Hai Bodong with his current strength.

Therefore, Xiao Feng had no intention of seizing the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame. In any case, before he had collected all the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, these fragments were just useless and there was no need to rush.

As for the map of the strange fire in Hai Bodong's hand, it held no appeal for Xiao Feng either, because he knew that the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire was actually hidden in the underground magma near Stone Desert City.

Unfortunately, Xiao Feng is not yet immune to the damage from magma, so he has to put the matter of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame aside for now.

……

The temperature plummeted in the desert at night, and the air was bitterly cold.

Countless stars, like dust, dotted the dark night sky, below which lay the curves of sand dunes, gleaming silver in the moonlight, creating a serene and mysterious scene.

After having dinner in the lobby of the tavern where they were staying, Xiao Feng and Little Fairy Doctor went back to their respective rooms on the second floor to rest.

"Start simulation!"

Seeing that the number of simulations on the character attribute panel had changed from 0 to 1, Xiao Feng did not hesitate to start the third simulation.

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

Under Xiao Feng's expectant gaze, the text in the selection box changed wildly, finally revealing three large characters: "Embroidered Spring Blade".

"Ding! Please select simulation mode!"

[Text projection simulation (no cost)]

[Simulation of the main body projection (consumes 400 merit points)]

Upon seeing this, Xiao Feng frowned slightly, and the expectation in his eyes turned into disappointment.

Xiao Feng had also seen the movie "Brotherhood of Blades". Although the martial arts figures in it knew martial arts, their skills would probably not even be considered third-rate in the world of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

Moreover, the film "Brotherhood of Blades" is set in an ancient society without supernatural powers, so it's unlikely that anything of value will be extracted from it.

If Xiao Feng uses [Physical Body Projection Simulation], even if he gets a few more free chances to draw prizes, it will probably be difficult for him to earn back the 400 merit points.

Since that's the case, there's no need to waste merit points, so Xiao Feng directly chose [Text Projection Simulation].

"Ding! Text projection simulation begins!"

[Day 1: You've transmigrated to a small village near the capital. After a brief moment of bewilderment, you're secretly overjoyed, feeling like you're the chosen one.]

[Day Two: Because you lack a registered residence, you become an unregistered resident. In order to survive, you are forced to become a beggar.]

"..."

As Xiao Feng stared at the text displayed on the simulation panel, his eye twitched.

Is the difference between free and paid simulations really that big?

A classic case of "happiness is created through salary; if you don't have money, you can forget about playing!"

[Day 3: Your stomach is growling with hunger, and you silently encourage yourself: Are kings and generals born with a special destiny?]

Although you have now become a beggar, you will not be a beggar forever. You decide to follow the example of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Just as you were getting all excited and full of fantasies, a kind person tossed you two coins. Now that things had come to this, you figured you should fill your stomach first...

[Day 18: After being a beggar for more than half a month, you have gradually adapted to the life of a beggar. You suddenly feel that this life of lying around without working is not bad...]

[Day 59: After this period of study and hard work, you have become a qualified beggar and have learned how to stage an accident.]

Every day when you go out begging, you look for kind-hearted passersby and pretend to cause various accidents, falling down in front of them.

Through your masterful performance of playing the victim, you successfully begged for a considerable amount of money, and your wealth has gradually increased...

[Year Three: Through three years of begging day after day, you have amassed a fortune of several thousand taels of silver, long since resolved your household registration issue, and transformed yourself into a small landlord in a village near the capital...]

[Year Four: Just as you were pedaling your Zhou Miaotong-brand bicycle with all your might in the capital's brothel, as usual, Shen Lian, his eyes bloodshot, suddenly burst in and beheaded you with his embroidered spring knife. You are dead!]

[This simulation is now complete!]

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 40 Motie Mercenary Group

"Pooh!"

Looking at his bizarre death scenario in the text simulation, Xiao Feng curled his lip in disgust: "Disgusting! Who told you to lust after someone else's body?"

Zhou Miaotong is the female lead in the movie "Brotherhood of Blades" and also the object of Shen Lian's affections.

As a result, the simulated version of himself actually stood up and pedaled Zhou Miaotong like a bicycle. No wonder Shen Lian killed him!

[Drawing simulation rewards. The following ten simulation rewards are available. Please purchase the desired reward first, then one reward will be randomly drawn.]

[One standard-issue Embroidered Spring Knife (Price: 1 Merit Point)]

[A set of Flying Fish Robes (Price: 1 Merit Point)]

[Zhou Miaotong's Original Bellyband (Price: 1 Merit Point)]

A bolt of silk (Price: 1 point of merit)

[One Hundred Taels of Silver (Price: 1 Merit Point)]

[One Golden Phoenix Hairpin (Price: 1 Merit Point)]

[A genuine work by Hokusai (Price: 1 point of merit)]

[A dog-beating stick (Price: 1 merit points)]

A bowl of sweet tofu pudding (Price: 1 merit point)

【One scallion pancake (Price: 1 merit point)】

Seeing this, Xiao Feng thought to himself, "It really is a pile of garbage. It's a good thing they didn't use the real body projection to simulate it, otherwise I would have lost my underwear."

Unfortunately, the free lottery chances you get after each simulation can only be used on the corresponding simulated world rewards.

Otherwise, Xiao Feng really wanted to save this lottery chance and use it when he came across a valuable reward.

"I want a lottery!"

As Xiao Feng silently recited the command, the ten rewards he had just randomly drawn instantly transformed into ten identical treasure chests.

Since the rewards were all worthless anyway, Xiao Feng randomly chose a treasure chest and eventually opened it to get a red bellyband.

After permanently sealing the undergarment in the system space, Xiao Feng took out a Spirit Nourishing Pill and swallowed it, then fully activated the Nine Transformations of the Xun Dragon.

……

next morning

After Xiao Feng and Little Fairy Doctor finished breakfast, they set off for Stone Desert City.

Soon after entering the Tagor Desert, Xiao Feng and his companions experienced firsthand the harshness of the environment.

Under the scorching sun, the yellow sand beneath Xiao Feng and his companions' feet felt like scalding hot iron filings, making each step particularly painful.

In the vast desert, the wind and sand raged, and the fierce winds carrying fine sand stung the skin.

Fortunately, Little Fairy Doctor had bought clothes to avoid the summer heat in advance, and she was wearing a white robe woven from ice silkworm silk.

Ice silk is a type of silk produced by an ice-attribute magical beast called "Ice Silkworm." Its toughness is comparable to steel wire, and it has excellent heat insulation and cooling effects.

Protected by the ice silk robe, neither the scorching sun nor the raging sandstorm could harm Little Fairy Doctor in the slightest.

However, Xiao Feng was in a worse situation. He was only wearing a pair of shorts to cover his body and was grimacing as he slowly made his way through the desert.

With each step Xiao Feng took, his feet sank into the scorching yellow sand, the rough, burning gravel grinding his legs until they bled profusely.

The strong wind, carrying fine sand, kept lashing against Xiao Feng, leaving tiny scratches on his skin.

Fortunately, Xiao Feng's recovery ability is amazing; otherwise, his body would have collapsed under such double torment.

The reason Xiao Feng was in such a sorry state was because he did it on purpose, wanting to use this harsh environment to transform his body.

Since being enveloped by the fierce winds mixed with fine sand, Xiao Feng clearly felt that the wind attribute battle qi in his body had become more active, and the efficiency of the Xunlong Nine Transformations had also increased significantly.

Besides the enhancement in his fighting spirit, Xiao Feng could also feel his skin gradually becoming more and more resilient as it was constantly being worn down and repaired.

"call out!"

Just as Xiao Feng and his companions were struggling to move forward under the scorching sun and howling wind, a dark shadow suddenly burst out from the yellow sand not far away and pounced towards Little Fairy Doctor.

"hold head high--"

With a high-pitched dragon roar, Xiao Feng took a step forward and used the move "The Dragon Regrets" to blast the dark figure away.

The dark figure, which had been knocked several meters away by Xiao Feng, twitched a few times on the yellow sand and then lay still.

"It's a Poisonous Scorpion!"

When Little Fairy Doctor saw the appearance of the dark figure, her eyes lit up. She quickly took out a sharp knife from her storage ring and stepped forward to cut up the monster's corpse.

The Poisonous Scorpion is a relatively common desert monster. An adult Poisonous Scorpion is about the size of a washbasin. It likes to hide under the yellow sand and ambush passersby and monsters.

Although the Poisonous Scorpion is only a first-tier magical beast, its nature of lurking in the sand to ambush others, along with the scorpion venom on its tail, makes it one of the most troublesome magical beasts in the desert, according to humans.

Soon, Little Fairy Doctor removed the venom sac from the Poisonous Scorpion and poured the venom into her homemade fruit wine.

After Little Fairy Doctor finished treating the corpse of the venomous scorpion, the two continued on their way.

……

Time flies like a white horse passing by, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

After more than half a month of arduous travel, Xiao Feng and his group finally arrived near Stone Desert City.

Originally, given Xiao Feng and his group's travel speed, it would only take about ten days to travel from Mo City to Shi Mo City, but a small accident occurred along the way.

Xiao Xian took an excessive amount of poison in a short period of time, which caused her to fall into a deep sleep twice. Xiao Feng could only set up a tent on the spot and take her to rest for three days.

When Little Fairy Doctor first awoke from her slumber, she successfully condensed a Dou Qi vortex and broke through to the level of a one-star Dou Zhe.

Little Fairy Doctor awakened from her slumber for the second time, and her cultivation level broke through to the second-star Dou Zhe.

Even though Xiao Feng had already prepared himself mentally, he was still surprised by Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation speed.

As expected of the legendary Calamity Poison Body, it's practically like it's been given a cheat code!

If things continue like this, in about two more months, Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation level will be able to surpass Xiao Feng's.
