Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

[That same year, at Qian Xunji's earnest invitation, you joined the Spirit Hall and became a Supreme Elder. Although somewhat reluctant, as it was just a slip of the tongue, seeing your friend Qian Xunji's expectant gaze, you softened and agreed.]

[This year you continued to cultivate diligently. The Golden Dragon King's martial spirit granted you unparalleled power, and you broke through to level ninety-three. Yet, you were confident that you could fight to a draw with Qian Daoliu, who was at the peak of his power. Furthermore, you clashed with the Hall of Offerings several times to test your skills. The aftershocks of your battles sent chills down the spines of the other elders in the Hall of Offerings. From then on, they had no further objections to your appointment as the Supreme Elder of the Spirit Hall.]

Besides focusing on cultivation, you've also heard about some strange things happening in Heaven Dou City. Yu Yuanzhen's most favored youngest son from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan awakened a useless martial soul, becoming the laughingstock of everyone.

At first, you didn't take it seriously, but then you overheard Qian Xunji angrily telling you that his obedient disciple, Bibi Dong, had been restless ever since returning from a banquet. After investigating, he discovered that she had been seduced by a good-for-nothing boy from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. However, due to the authority of the Spirit Hall Master, he couldn't easily intervene, so he simply confined Bibi Dong to her quarters. But his once obedient and well-behaved disciple began to rebel against him, going on a hunger strike, and so on...

You were a little stunned, not expecting the blond guy to be so devastating. After a moment of silence, you advised your friend to let go. Since she liked the blond guy, you could just train another Spirit Hall Holy Son, or even help her choose one yourself. But she said you didn't understand, that she had invested too much effort and it wasn't easy to give up. Helpless, you didn't say anything more.

"Are they still destined to get stabbed in the back?" Lu Cheng was speechless. Sure enough, both of them had serious problems.

You said that Bibi Dong has taken a liking to Yu Xiaogang, so we should respect her decision, offer our blessings, and then find another genius. But he quickly fell silent.

Because he realized he was being a bit naive. Twin martial souls, innate full soul power—could such a genius be found even with a lantern? It was more like one in a million than one in ten thousand. Moreover, Qian Xunji was unaware of what was to come, so how could she possibly know the seriousness of the situation? In his eyes, she was probably just a rebellious girl who only needed to be isolated and would be fine when she got older.

Ugh……

Lu Cheng rubbed his temples, looking somewhat helpless.

Well, let fate decide. His experience in the simulator gave him a good impression of Qian Xunji; at least he could call him a close friend, but...

There's no way to persuade this person.

The simulation continues.

[You continued to cultivate diligently, and finally, at the age of twenty-five, you broke through to the Limit Douluo level. Although you know that Tang San reached the limit at a younger age than you, he also relied on the Seagod Island trial, while you climbed up step by step. Therefore, you can be considered to have a clear mind and a natural state of mind.]

[In the same year, Tang Chen, the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, disappeared without a trace. It was rumored that he went into seclusion for a life-or-death cultivation. However, as a Limit Douluo and one of the continent's top combatants, it was unknown what he was cultivating to break through to—the legendary god? Only you went to the City of Slaughter, met him, and saw Tang Chen, who was utterly ravaged by the Blood Bat's divine consciousness, and were filled with emotion.]

Meanwhile, the relationship between Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong became increasingly strained, with the two nearly turning against each other several times. Bibi Dong also became increasingly rebellious, even planning to run away from home. In the end, Qian Xunji had no choice but to give in, promising to allow her to go out once she broke through to the Soul Douluo level. However, as you know, this guy never agreed to the marriage at all. Instead, he repeatedly attempted to assassinate Yu Xiaogang, but only with Yu Yuanzhen's protection did these assassination plans come to nothing.

You advised Qian Xunji several times that it was time to let go, and that you could simply find another Holy Son, but he just said you didn't understand and changed the subject. Helpless, you eventually let the two of them do as they pleased.

[At twenty-six, Yu Tianlong suddenly came to visit, hoping you would accept his granddaughter Liu Erlong as your disciple. After all, your family lineage originated from a branch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and most of your family members possess dragon-type martial souls, as evidenced by your awakening of the Golden Dragon King.]

Therefore, he hoped to accept a disciple out of consideration for their bloodline.

"If the Golden Dragon King is willing to take this girl as his disciple, my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan will always be your support..."

Inside the council chamber, Yu Yuanzhen spoke with a fawning smile.

Chapter 253 Deep into the Star Dou Great Forest

"Um...sorry, I don't need that support."

Lu Cheng took a sip of tea and said calmly without showing any mercy, "The demands I place on my disciples are unimaginable to ordinary people, let alone this good-for-nothing from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."

A woman with a romantic mindset who falls for her uncle.

He wouldn't necessarily refuse so easily if it were someone else.

"..." Yu Tianlong's expression changed slightly, but the other party was still a Limit Douluo. Last time he made a move, he directly blasted back that 100,000-year-old ferocious beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.

At the edge of the Starry Sky Forest, a beast tide was attacking a human village.

The young man's figure appeared, and soon the field was littered with the corpses of beasts. Under the crushing force of his terrifying physical strength, even the 100,000-year-old ferocious beast Titan Giant Ape was sent flying with a single punch. Not to mention when he charged into the beast tide, his corpses flew everywhere and blood splattered. His golden dragon spear could even absorb the blood of soul beasts to replenish itself.

It was after that day that he began to have the idea of ​​becoming an apprentice.

but……

"Alas, since you are unwilling to take her as your disciple, then she is not destined for this opportunity. This is a small token of my appreciation from Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and I hope you will accept it."

As he spoke, he gave a wink to the man behind him, who quickly had some boxes brought in. "These are just some small gifts, please accept them."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng did not refuse.

Yu Tianlong's eyes lit up with joy. He grabbed six-year-old Liu Erlong, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then turned and left.

Wuhun Temple.

Qian Xunji's face flushed red as he pointed at Bibi Dong in front of him, panting heavily: "You, you really have a lot of nerve, daring to meet with him in secret without my knowledge!"

“Teacher, I am not a tool, I am a living person, and Yu Xiaogang is not as bad as you say. He is very strong in theory. You don’t understand him at all!” Bibi Dong stiffened her neck, stared straight at Qian Xunji, and refused to give an inch.

"I……"

Chihiro was so angry that she almost fainted.

"What can someone with a congenitally useless martial soul understand? What can he research? His so-called theories are all based on existing theories in the current soul master world. Where is there even a trace of originality?"

"I won't allow you to talk about him like that!" Bibi Dong glared back, not backing down an inch.

Qian Xunji: "..."

Whoosh whoosh.

He recalled what his friend had said: his silly apprentice was completely love-struck; once she fell in love, even a fool would be completely devoted to her.

For the first time, he had the idea of ​​changing the saintess.

but……

He took a deep breath, glanced at Bibi Dong, and said coldly, "I said no, and that's final. Don't you even listen to your master anymore? Is that little beast more important than me?"

"Yes! So what if it is!" Bibi Dong frowned slightly, her temper rising.

"Fine! Fine! I've raised such an ingrate for nothing!" Qian Xunji was furious. He raised his hand to slap her, but when he saw his disciple's stubborn eyes, he stopped. He glared coldly at Bibi Dong and left.

Bibi Dong watched Qian Xunji's departing figure and the slowly closing hall. A new resolve hardened within her; she was determined to escape this suffocating cage. In her eyes, Qian Xunji's control over her was both suffocating and terrifying. She recalled Yu Xiaogang's words earlier: "Let's elope..."

"Yeah, how about... we elope?"

……

"Old Lu, I'm having a hard time..."

On the other side, Qian Xunji gulped down several mouthfuls of wine, trying to drown his sorrows in alcohol. His eyes were fixed on the distance, his usual majestic pope demeanor gone, as he poured out his grievances to Lu Cheng beside him.

"Don't tell me." Lu Cheng said calmly, taking a sip of tea.

"You chose this path, so you have to finish it, even if you have to crawl on your knees."

"Sigh..." Qian Xunji sighed deeply, "She was so obedient when she was little, how come she became like this when she grew up..."

"I thought she was older and would understand my good intentions, but who knew..."

"Some people can't be changed. If you still have that idea, you might as well give up now." Lu Cheng glanced at Qian Xunji and said calmly.

"..." Qian Xunji remained silent for a long time.

Lu Cheng thought that Bibi Dong had finally come to her senses and was going to find another saintess, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Changing the subject: "The riots in the far north are becoming more and more frequent, and I've discovered that in addition to Da Ming and Er Ming, there are other 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"How is this possible?!" Qian Xunji looked at Lu Cheng in astonishment: "If there were other 100,000-year-old soul beasts, why didn't I notice them?"

"They might just be in a deep slumber, perhaps in the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest. Only by going there can we detect their presence. I plan to..."

"You're not going to tell me you're going there, are you?" Qian Xunji asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Not bad," Lu Cheng said leisurely, taking a sip of tea.

He planned to go and see for himself what was wrong in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest that was causing the soul beasts to attack humans so frequently.

And this is probably the key to this simulation.

"If what you say is true, then it's far too dangerous..." Chihiro scratched his head and said.

"How about I send my father with you? He's also a Limit Douluo, so he'll be there to help you if anything happens."

"And you?" Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"I've only recently advanced to the Title Douluo level, and my strength is too weak... I'd better give up." Qian Xunji chuckled.

"By the way, in order to avoid Yu Xiaogang, I plan to send that girl to the City of Slaughter for some training. It will take at least three to five years for her to come out. I suppose she will have forgotten everything by then."

"..."

Lu Cheng was speechless.

She shook her head and ignored him.

[That same year, you ventured deep into the Star Dou Great Forest and encountered Da Ming and Er Ming. You personally beat them both up, attempting to extract some information, but were rescued by a beam of light. You recognized it as the aura of Di Tian. To uncover the truth, you fought Di Tian for three hundred rounds. The latter was no match for you and fled injured. However, at the same time, another pale silver light also severely injured you—it was the Silver Dragon King…]

[You returned severely injured, causing Qian Xunji to be shocked and panicked. He hurriedly dispatched the best physicians to treat you, but you refused. You knew that this injury was not so easy to heal, after all, you were a demigod who had been injured (the Silver Dragon King was injured and not as strong as at his peak), so you secretly recuperated.]

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye. You've heard a lot of news. The two twin stars of the Haotian Sect went out to explore the continent and met a woman, forming a new golden triangle. Qian Xunji also sent Bibi Dong to the City of Slaughter. You went there before she left and discovered that Bibi Dong had developed hatred for Qian Xunji, but he didn't seem to notice. You felt somewhat helpless, but you didn't interfere.

Chapter 254 Ancient Moon

A secluded room.

Lu Cheng's face turned deathly pale. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, suppressed the pain, and focused his inner vision to examine his body. He discovered that an elemental force was constantly eroding his meridians, causing his injuries to fail to heal for a long time.

"Is this the Silver Dragon King's method?" Lu Cheng pondered. Indeed, even though he was heavily injured and living in a lower plane, unable to unleash even one or two tenths of his peak combat power, some things could still easily injure him.

If the other party hadn't seemed to have no intention of killing me, I probably wouldn't have been able to get out of this situation.

but……

Lu Cheng remained silent for a long time. In his memory, the silver dragon had clearly glanced at him with a complicated look before leaving. Could it be related to the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul?

Is he using Tang Wulin's script?

Hard to say.

He coughed lightly twice, sighed softly, and said he was busy...

These injuries won't heal in just a few months. Since Qian Xunji is there to support him, he should take some time to recuperate.

Three more years have passed in the blink of an eye. Your cultivation has finally returned to its peak. After emerging from seclusion, you met Qian Xunji. He was overjoyed to see that you had recovered and wanted to host a banquet, but you refused. When you mentioned Bibi Dong, he was quite pleased, saying that since Bibi Dong's return, she had become more sensible and well-behaved, although she had become much colder. But you were the only one who seemed a little off...

[In the past three years, the two young men of the Clear Sky Sect have grown increasingly powerful, having already broken through to the Soul Saint realm and showing a strong tendency to contend for supremacy on the continent. Meanwhile, you have disappeared for several years, and your era seems to be fading away. However, you don't care. To you, these are all empty titles. You are more concerned about what exactly happened in the Soul Beast Forest.]

[However, due to the experience of being severely injured last time, you dared not go directly to the Star Dou Great Forest for fear of being beaten again. But the room for improvement for Limit Douluo is extremely small, so you began to study gods. Unfortunately, another three years passed, and you gained nothing. You went to the City of Slaughter, searched for Tang Chen, and also looked for Seagod Island, but they all seemed to have vanished without a trace, as if they did not exist.]

[You are now thirty-three years old. You have been cultivating to the point of reaching the Limit Douluo level for many years, but you still can't create your own godhood like Yun Ming. You are somewhat dejected and don't know why fate is playing such a cruel trick on you. However, with Qian Xunji and your family by your side, it's not too boring...]

[However, what seems strange to you is that in recent years, the invasions of human race by spirit beasts have significantly decreased, and they haven't even organized many decent beast tides. These changes only started after your trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, yet you still have no clue what's going on.]

One day, out of boredom, you went to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to look for Dugu Bo. There, you saw a stunningly beautiful girl with long silver hair and a tall, slender figure heading to the academy to register. A feeling of instant connection made you follow her, and you noticed her martial soul was "Elemental Control." You immediately recognized her identity… the Silver Dragon King!
