"A comatose, icy school beauty, a rich and handsome villain who snatches the opportunity, a Dragon King bodyguard arriving at the last minute, and they actually succeed—this plot is just too classic."
"But, just as I predicted, this world really is a high-martial arts world made up of light novel elements!"
Lu Qian, seemingly experiencing a split personality, watched the scenes unfolding in the simulated world and his alternate self with great interest, sighing inwardly.
He'd been in this world for eighteen years, and yet he was only now beginning to understand its secrets.
Clearly, this world is far more complex than he imagined.
This sudden turn of events naturally made him even more interested in the simulated plot to come.
As for the school beauty Liu Ruyue, lying motionless in the real world, starting to catch a chill, drunkenly...
Women are nothing compared to a simulator.
No rush, let her lie there a little longer.
[The enraged protagonist, Ye Chen, learned from nearby surveillance footage that you had picked up Liu Ruyue half an hour earlier. He flew into a rage, forcibly seized a self-propelled car, and sped after her.]
[But you, as a transmigrator, had clearly anticipated everything and made some preparations in advance. You had the driver call some departments in Shanghai, causing all the traffic lights at the intersections leading to the Shanghai Hotel to turn red. Ye Chen, driving his self-propelled car, was stuck in the middle of the road. Just as he was about to run the red light, he saw several traffic police officers in reflective vests approach and impound the car...]
"Sure enough, the me in the simulator also has my own independent thinking. I won't be like those villains in brainless light novels?"
"Since I knew in advance about the existence of this so-called Dragon King bodyguard, who is suspected to be the protagonist of destiny, how could I ignore him and let him come?"
"It would be a real idiot not to set up some obstacles for him."
Lu Qian couldn't help but laugh as he watched what happened next in the simulated world.
But the next moment, when he saw the next part of the simulation, the smile on his face instantly froze.
[At the Shanghai Hotel, you begin to detoxify Liu Ruyue. The destiny and fortune within Liu Ruyue begin to boil, undergoing a certain change, and are being forcibly absorbed and plundered by something within you...]
[You find your spine becoming scorching hot, as if molten lava is surging within you. A peculiar change occurs within your body, and you suddenly hear a ghostly scream...]
[The "curse" placed upon you has been broken. You have awakened the "Supreme Emperor Bone." Your physical body begins to appear, transform, and step into the threshold of cultivation...]
"Curse!"
"Supreme Emperor Bone!"
Seeing these two unfamiliar terms appear in the simulator, Lu Qian's stiff face turned grim, and his eyes began to gleam with a chilling light.
No wonder he had been trying to cultivate the Lu family's techniques to condense spiritual energy and temper his body, but he had been unable to succeed; the spiritual energy he gathered would always dissipate and disappear unconsciously...
It turned out he was cursed, preventing him from awakening his [Supreme Emperor Bone] and from cultivating...
Who would do such a cruel thing to him?
You must know, even the Lu family patriarch, an eighth-level Celestial Being, hadn't noticed the problem before.
Could it be that the one who attacked him was also a Celestial Being of the same level?
Or even, was the attacker a Ninth-Order True Immortal on Earth?
But on the surface, the only True Immortal on Earth in the Great Xia Empire is the Great Xia Human Emperor?!
Why would he do this?!
Before such an existence, he, the second son of the Lu family, was like an ant, easily annihilated. Why waste so much trouble?
And what exactly is the [Supreme Emperor Bone]? How did he possess such a physique?!
Did the Lu family already know...?
One mystery after another began to surface in Lu Qian's mind, almost suffocating him.
At this moment, he was like an ant trapped in a box, forever unable to see what lay outside.
If it weren't for the appearance of the [Villain Simulator], he probably would have died without ever knowing the secrets hidden within himself.
And it would have been almost impossible for him to ever step into the threshold of cultivation in this lifetime.
"However, it's too much of a coincidence that Liu Ruyue, this destined heroine, was able to break the curse and give me a chance to cultivate again, and then appeared right in front of me."
Lu Qian muttered to himself, his gaze complex.
Then, his attention returned to the simulated world.
According to the simulated plot, there was still an hour until the destined protagonist, Ye Chen, appeared—plenty of time.
[You are shocked by Liu Ruyue's uniqueness, but even more shocked by the curse placed upon you. Now that it has been lifted, allowing you to cultivate again, and awakening a powerful forbidden force within you, you are overjoyed. You begin cultivating the Lu family's "Primordial Dragon Elephant Scripture," and in just a few breaths, you advance to the first level. Your body begins to transform, and you enter the first realm of cultivation, Transcendental Realm...]
"So quickly, you've reached the Transcendental Realm perfection and the peak!"
Lu Qian's pupils constricted. He knew that the "Primordial Dragon Elephant Scripture" was an eighth-tier Celestial-level ancient body-forging technique. Once mastered, it could make one invincible against opponents of the same level, and it was also the standard technique passed down directly by the Lu family.
It was a top-tier body-refining technique throughout the entire Great Xia Empire.
Even his elder brother, the Lu family heir, Lu Shou, hailed as the empire's prodigy, took several months to even enter the Transcendental Realm.
And he actually only took a few breaths?!
His body's cultivation talent was simply terrifying!
[The first stage, Transcendental Realm, begins with leaving the mortal realm. Using spiritual energy to temper the body, one gains immense strength, flesh that can withstand blades, and is impervious to fire and water. Having just entered cultivation, you've already condensed the "power of an elephant," reaching the peak of Transcendental Realm. You also discovered that your cultivation speed while simultaneously detoxifying is extremely fast...]
[Soon, half an hour has passed, and you've broken through to the second stage, Spirit Induction, condensing spiritual energy within your body...]
....
[Liu Ruyue has awakened. You knocked her unconscious...]
....
[At this moment, the protagonist of destiny, Ye Chen, is still on his way...]
....
[Another half hour has passed, and you've broken through to the third stage, Profound Understanding, condensing spiritual energy within your body into a spiritual lake. You feel that once you activate the "Supreme Emperor Bone," even a Divine Power Realm expert wouldn't be able to harm you. You guess that your rapid cultivation is largely due to the "Supreme Emperor Bone," and Liu Ruyue likely possesses some kind of special physique...]
...
[At this moment, the protagonist of destiny, Ye Chen, is still on his way...]
...
[You suddenly discover that a portion of Liu Ruyue's destiny seems to be forcibly absorbed by the "Supreme Emperor Bone," and you have briefly gained some kind of "destiny" blessing...]
...
"By the time they arrive, the food will be cold."
"However, I didn't expect my [Supreme Emperor Bone] to be so domineering. Not only can it accelerate cultivation, but it can also plunder the luck of others."
"I understand now why the person behind this cursed me. Even those ancient holy bodies don't possess such a terrifying physique!"
Lu Qian looked at the content in the simulator, feeling no joy whatsoever, but rather a chill running down his spine.
Too fast!
Really too fast!
Having awakened the [Supreme Emperor Bone], he was rapidly developing at a rocket-like pace.
At this speed, he might reach the Celestial Realm in less than a few years? Or even become a True Immortal on Earth!
But the problem is, would the person who cursed him back then just stand by and watch?!
[Having broken through to the third realm, the Profound Realm, you begin to be blinded by power, somewhat losing your reason. At this moment, you suddenly feel a sharp pain emanating from your "Supreme Emperor Bone," and simultaneously, a chill creeps over you, as if something is about to happen...]
