13: Chapter 13, Third Simulation: Getting Started
[If you can obtain information on the opponent beforehand, in the next simulation, you must kill him for an Item Explosion of skill points!]
[Gu Xuan's eyes were filled with obsession: "I... am not from this world."]
[He let out a sigh: "I hope that one day, I can return home."]
[As he spoke, golden light flickered on his hand, and in the next instant, he directly severed your head.]
[With a gurgling sound, your head fell and rolled once on the ground.]
[You are dead.]
[Simulation ended.]
[Karma has been severed.]
[Obtained skill: 'Infinite Storage Space'.]
[Obtained special item: 'Ultimate Sword'.]
[Obtained cultivation from the simulation: 'True Qi Realm Sixth Layer'.]
[Obtained item: 'Three Yin Worm'.]
[Obtained Cultivation Techniques: 'Innate Sword Qi', 'White Elephant True Qi Art'.]
[Obtained all memories from the simulation.]
[Cultivation hidden (when not attacking, no one will be able to sense your actual state).]
[All negative effects shielded.]
The text of the second simulation ended here.
Zhou You's expression changed as he looked at the white hair that had suddenly grown out.
This was the side effect of the Infinite Storage Space; it had come far too quickly.
The nearby servants and fist-practicing Disciples were also shocked: "Senior Brother Zhou, what happened to your hair?"
"Senior Brother Zhou, I'll go fetch Physician Wang!"
Those who wanted to curry favor with him rushed forward immediately.
Zhou You waved his hand at once: "No need, no need. I'm perfectly fine."
"Though this matter is indeed quite magical."
He picked up a strand of white hair, looked at it, and then lay back down: "Don't worry, you all continue your cultivation."
Aside from the hair...
The most obvious change was his cultivation.
True Qi Realm Sixth Layer.
Innate Sword Qi.
Truly not bad.
Recalling all the memories of the second simulation, Zhou You's mind shifted, and he continued the simulation.
His hair had already turned white.
It wouldn't be long before it attracted even more attention; he had to seize the time to become stronger.
[Simulation starting]
[Day One]
[You sat up from your chair, reached out with your right hand, and pulled a fat, disgusting worm out of your ear; with your left hand, you also pulled a book out of your nose.]
[The worm is a Three Yin Worm, which can improve Aptitude and Comprehension Ability.]
[The book is the White Elephant True Qi Art, which can increase the total amount of True Qi.]
[In the second simulation, you originally intended to reach the True Qi Realm Peak before practicing it, as that would yield the best results.]
[Unfortunately, you died too abruptly.]
[You fell silent for a moment and put the two items away.]
[You got up and went directly to the Azure Nether Martial Hall headquarters.]
[You needed to verify one thing.]
[Whether Wei An could still be farmed for skill points.]
[Whether Wei An had awakened a sign-in system.]
[Soon, with a head of white hair, you arrived at the headquarters, specifically the secret room where Wei An cultivated.]
[He was wearing his training robes and was still dazed; unlike last time, he was now visibly more surprised.]
["Junior Brother."]
[Upon seeing you, Wei An snapped out of it and immediately greeted you.]
[His gaze lingered on your hair for a long time, filled with confusion.]
[You didn't care and instead raised your right wrist in front of him.]
[After seeing the pattern of the Ultimate Sword, the expression on Wei An's face became even more spectacular.]
["Junior Brother, you... you are also..."]
[He covered his mouth, truly astonished.]
[You took a sharp breath, feeling that things were not simple.]
[You reached out and gripped the Ultimate Sword, placing it directly against Wei An's neck.]
[You suddenly thought of the moment you died in the first simulation, when Wei An had treated you the same way with the shenxing sword.]
["Junior Brother, what... what are you doing?"]
[Wei An looked at you cautiously.]
[You glanced at him and said: "Third Martial Brother, is your sign-in system still there?"]
["Ah?"]
[Wei An was stunned: "Why... why would you ask that?"]
[He no longer hid himself: "Junior Brother, you're a transmigrator too, aren't you? We're fellow countrymen."]
[This time, you were more composed.]
[Withdrawing the Ultimate Sword, you said: "Answer my question."]
[Wei An gave a bitter smile: "It's gone, it's gone. My sign-in system suddenly disappeared."]
[Is that so?]
[After you caused an Item Explosion of his skill points, his Golden Finger directly failed.]
["I don't believe you."]
[You said suddenly, then reached out a finger and touched Wei An's neck.]
[-79864]
[In the next moment, he collapsed directly to the ground, dying instantly from poison.]
[The strength gap was too large, and Zhou Poison was becoming increasingly Heaven-Defying.]
[There was no Item Explosion of skill points; it seemed his System really was gone.]
[Looking at Wei An's corpse on the ground, you quickly got to work.]
[The method was simple: you placed your ear near Wei An, and immediately after, Wei An was taken into your space, vanishing without a trace.]
[You then took out some tools from your space and cleaned up the blood on the floor.]
[This created the illusion that Third Martial Brother had simply disappeared.]
[This way, it was more logical.]
[Before you had even finished wiping, a card appeared before your eyes.]
[You were somewhat puzzled.]
[Another Item Explosion?]
[Picking it up to look, it was still an Ultimate Sword.]
[You put it into your space and hurried to clean up the traces here.]
[Afterward, you walked out of the secret room and informed everyone that Third Martial Brother Wei An was missing.]
[Soon, people from the martial arts hall and the government arrived; after an investigation, they found nothing.]
[You also took the opportunity to slip away.]
[Back in your room, you took out the Ultimate Sword card and tore it open.]
[Then, an identical Ultimate Sword appeared before you.]
[Seemingly sensing the other Ultimate Sword, it immediately burrowed into your body.]
[Three seconds later, a new card appeared in your hand.]
["Two-Star ultimate sword, increases movement speed by two times."]
[Whoa!]
[You exclaimed: "Doesn't this mean I can use every simulation to accelerate?"]
[You had already begun to look forward to the next time.]
[You just didn't know if it would become four times or three times next time.]
[Tearing open the card, a new Ultimate Sword appeared; compared to before, there wasn't much change, and its hardness and toughness were still not up to par, just average.]
[You stuck it on yourself and ignored it.]
[Next, you pulled out the Three Yin Worm.]
[After hesitating for two seconds, you tossed it into your mouth.]
[Aptitude and Comprehension Ability—you really needed them!!]
[It's just a bit of pain, I'll endure it.]
[Once the Three Yin Worm entered your stomach, your body reacted immediately; intense pain washed over you, and you felt your Meridians, Acupoints, bones, and muscles throughout your body aching.]
[Taking a breath, you forced yourself to endure this.]
[After a night, you had somewhat gotten used to it.]
[That kind of pain continued, but it was just pain; as long as you could withstand it, it wouldn't affect your normal life.]
[You began to cultivate Innate Sword Qi to improve your cultivation.]
[At the same time, you went out twice to several mountain strongholds near Qingyun City; you killed some to warn others, and then used the large amount of gold, wealth, and cultivation resources stored in your space to bribe them.]
[You gave them a portrait and the name of Gu Xuan, letting them find the person for you; simultaneously, you sent people to search for news of Zuihua Restaurant.]
[If you could find a Gu Xuan who hadn't grown up yet, there would be many benefits.]
[Also, regarding the Three Yin Worm, you wondered if eating another one would still increase your Comprehension Ability and Aptitude.]
[Besides this, you also issued some other tasks to them.]
[All of this was spent in the pain brought by the Three Yin Worm; you endured all of it, looking forward immensely to the subsequent changes.]
[As long as there are gains, it's worth it!]
