"The cold-faced comatose school beauty, the rich, handsome villain who kidnaps her, and the cold-faced school beauty's bodyguard who finally makes the villain pay for what he did ━ , these are truly classic plots."
"As I expected, this world is truly a place where martial arts reign supreme!"
At this moment, Lu Shou felt like he had a split personality. He watched with interest as the scenes unfolded in the simulated world, observing his other self, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Lu Sheng came to this world eighteen years ago, but he was only now beginning to discover its secrets."
The depths of this world were unfathomable.
This unexpected turn of events only fueled his curiosity about the next part of the simulation.
As for the real world, where the drunk and unconscious school belle, Liu Ruyue, lay motionless in front of him, seemingly starting to catch a cold.
A woman could never be as fun as a simulator.
She could lie there a little longer.
[The furious protagonist of Destiny, Ye Chen, learned through nearby surveillance cameras that you picked up Liu Ruyue half an hour ago. Enraged, he hijacked a motorcycle and chased after you.]
[But as a time traveler, you had already foreseen this and made preparations.
You instructed the driver to call certain departments in Magic City.
All intersections leading to the Magic City Hotel turned red, and you sped forward.
Ye Chen found himself stuck in the middle of the road.
Just as he was about to run the red light, several traffic police officers in reflective gear approached and impounded the bike...]
"So I have independent thoughts in the simulator? At least I won't end up like one of those mindless villains in cheap web novels."
"Since I already know that the so-called Dragon King's bodyguard, who is likely another protagonist of Destiny, is coming, how could I just sit back and let him arrive unchallenged?"
"You'd be a fool not to set some obstacles in his way."
Lu Shou couldn't help but laugh as he watched the events unfold in the simulation.
However, when he saw the events unfolding in the next moment, his smile hardened.
[At the Modu Hotel, you began to detox Liu Ruyue. Your fate and fortune rose, you underwent a mysterious transformation—but this transformation was forcibly absorbed and plundered by an unknown force within you...]
[You feel a scorching heat spreading down your spine, as if molten lava is flowing through it. A strange transformation begins in your body, and an eerie ghostly scream suddenly echoes in your ears...]
[The curse that bound you has been lifted. You have awakened the "Great Emperor Bone." Your body is undergoing a profound transformation, stepping onto the path of cultivation...]
A curse?!
The Supreme Emperor Bone?!
Seeing these unfamiliar terms appear in the simulator, Lu Shou expression darkened, his eyes flashing with a chilling light.
No wonder he had never been able to cultivate despite his efforts. Every time he tried to condense spiritual energy, it would mysteriously dissipate...
So, he had been cursed all along, preventing him from awakening the [Supreme Emperor Bone], let alone practicing martial arts.
Who could have done something this cruel to him?
Even the Lu family's ancestry, a celestial powerhouse of the eighth realm, had never noticed the problem.
Did this mean the one who cursed him was also an eighth-realm celestial being?
Or even a ninth-realm True Immortal?!
Yet, as far as he knew, the only True Immortal in the Great Xia Empire was the Great Xia Emperor himself!
Why would the emperor target him?!
Compared to such a being, he, just the second son of the Lu family, was no more than an ant, easily crushed. So why go to such great lengths?
And what exactly was the [Supreme Emperor Bone]? Why did he possess it?
Did the Lu family already know...?
Questions swirled in Lu Shou's mind, suffocating him.
At this moment, he felt like an ant trapped inside a sealed box, unable to see the outside world.
If not for the [Villain Simulator], he might have lived his entire life unaware of this secret, forever unable to step into cultivation.
"But Liu Ruyue, the so-called destined heroine, was able to lift the curse and restore my ability to cultivate. And she just happened to appear in front of me… Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"
Lu Shou's eyes flickered with uncertainty as he muttered to himself.
Then, he refocused on the simulated world.
According to the simulation, Ye Chen—the protagonist of Destiny—would arrive in an hour. That was plenty of time.
[You are shocked by Liu Ruyue's uniqueness, but even more so by the curse that had bound you.Now that it has been lifted, you can cultivate again, and a forbidden power hidden in your body has awakened. Ecstatic, you begin practicing the Lu family's "Ancient Dragon Elephant Sutra." In just a few breaths, you break into the first level, your body transforming as you step into the path of cultivation...]
"You reached the first stage so quickly and already hit the peak?"
Lu Shou's pupils shrank.
The [Ancient Dragon Elephant Sutra] was an eighth-realm celestial-grade body-refining technique. Once mastered, it could overpower opponents of the same level. It was also the core inheritance of the Lu family—one of the top techniques in the entire Great Xia Empire.
Even his elder brother, Lu Shou—the empire's genius and heir of the Lu family—had taken several months to reach transcendence.
Yet he did it in just a few breaths?!
The cultivation talent of this body was terrifying!
[The first stage of Transcendence separates you from the mundane world.
With spiritual energy, you forge a body with the strength of a thousand pounds.
"Your flesh can withstand weapons, fire, and water."
Upon beginning cultivation, you immediately gather the "Power of One Elephant" and step into the first stage of Transcendence.
At the peak, you also realize that while detoxifying(s*x), you cultivate even faster...]
[Half an hour passes. You break through to the second stage, your spiritual energy condensing within your body...]
….
[Liu Ruyue wakes up. You knock her unconscious again...]
….
[At this moment, the destined protagonist Ye Chen is still on his way...]
….
[Another half hour later, you break through to the third stage. The spiritual energy within you condenses into a spiritual lake.
At this moment, you realize that once you unleash the "Supreme Emperor Bone," even supernatural experts will struggle to challenge you.
You suspect that your rapid cultivation is largely due to the power of the "Supreme Emperor Bone," and Liu Ruyue likely possesses a special physique...]
….
[At this moment, the destined protagonist Ye Chen is still on his way...]
….
[You suddenly discover that part of Liu Ruyue's destiny is being forcibly absorbed by the "Supreme Emperor Bone," granting you a temporary blessing of "destiny"...]
….
"By the time he arrives, the meal will be cold."
"I never expected my [Supreme Emperor Bone] to be so overbearing. Not only does it accelerate cultivation, but it also plunders the luck of others."
"Now I understand why someone cursed me. Even ancient sacred physiques aren't as terrifying as this one!"
As Lu Shou examined the simulator's contents, he felt no joy—only an unsettling chill creeping down his spine.
Too fast.
It's all happening way too fast.
With the [Supreme Emperor Bone] awakened, his growth was skyrocketing like a rocket.
At this rate, in just a few years, he could reach the Celestial rank or even become a True Immortal.
?
But the real question was—would the one who cursed him simply stand by and watch?!
[Upon reaching the third stage of Transcendence, you become overwhelmed by power and start losing control of your mind. At that moment, you feel a sharp pain in the "Supreme Emperor Bone," and an eerie chill invades your body... Something is about to happen...]
