Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 116 Su Cheng's External Soul Bone - The Eye of True Sight

The Star Luo Empire, the Zhu Family Mansion.

Inside Zhu Zhuqing's room.

She had opened her eyes at some point, but stared blankly ahead, seemingly having maintained this posture for a long time, with traces of undried tears still on her cheeks.

After a long while, it was as if he had just woken up from a dream, and his expression was still slightly bewildered.

Feeling the coolness on her face, she reached out and gently touched it, immediately feeling the dampness on her fingertips, and was startled again.

She couldn't remember how many years it had been since she last cried.

It seems that she has never shed a tear since she can remember.

She didn't cry when she learned of the bloody tradition of her family's marriage alliance with the royal family, she didn't cry when she learned that she had been chosen as another heir and that her future was bleak, and she didn't cry when she learned that Dai Mubai had fled the capital...

Even when her eldest sister, who had once doted on her, became cold and ruthless overnight after she awakened her martial soul at the age of six, she never showed the slightest weakness.

However, the dream I just had was just too real.

It was so real that she couldn't even distinguish between the dream and reality.

Those experiences and memories have long since settled deep into the depths of her mind.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression gradually turned serious.

For a moment, she even bore a striking resemblance to Zhu Zhuqing, who had cultivated to the peak of the Douluo realm, possessed the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul, held great power, and was about to ascend to the throne of the Star Luo Emperor.

"This dream..."

Her eyes narrowed. Actually, there was a very simple way to determine whether it was just an ordinary dream.

Kung Fu!

In her dream, Su Cheng, who was impersonating her father, taught her a miraculous martial arts technique!

Zhu Zhuqing calmed her mind and silently controlled the flow of her soul power through her meridians.

In fact, her actions at that moment were extremely dangerous.

She did remember how the Nirvana Sutra worked, but she was no longer the peak Douluo she once was.

Although the insights remain, most of the corresponding techniques require her to reach a level that matches them before she can use them.

In other words, those insights can help Zhu Zhuqing adapt to the power within her body as quickly as possible and unleash strength far beyond that of ordinary people, even without encountering any bottlenecks when breaking through.

But it certainly wouldn't allow her to instantly ascend to the top and directly possess the insight and methods of a peak Douluo.

Without the power to express insights, it's nothing but castles in the air.

At her current level of cultivation, she clearly has no way of knowing whether this technique contains any errors.

After all, she doesn't have the solid theoretical foundation that Su Cheng does.

But Zhu Zhuqing completely ignored the risks involved.

Soul power circulated, condensed, and flowed through the meridians within the body, continuously strengthening, and the bloodline also underwent subtle sublimation and change.

After completing one cycle, Zhu Zhuqing calmed down.

She opened her eyes and silently got off the bed and went into the main hall.

He picked up paper and pen and began to write, word by word.

Before long, the entire page of white paper was filled with text.

What is recorded above is the method of bloodline acquisition and the method of preparing chronic medicine that Su Cheng had previously taught her.

She neither knew how to make nor dared to make that kind of one-time bloodline potion.

Dai Mubai is, after all, the rightful heir of the Dai family. If she were to openly seize his bloodline, the consequences would be unpredictable.

However, this slow-acting drug was recorded on the manuscript at the same time as the method of bloodline acquisition, but she had not thought of using it on Su Cheng before.

That's right, in just that short moment, Zhu Zhuqing has already made a decision.

Her eyes were fixed on the direction of the Heavenly Dou Empire, her gaze calm and undisturbed.

"Since you're afraid to face the future, then let me face it for you. As for the Dai family's White Tiger Martial Soul, it's a waste to have it on you. This is a fair trade: using your cultivation potential to exchange for a way to live. At least this way, you can survive, right?"

Zhu Zhuqing withdrew her gaze and carefully placed the manuscript close to her body.

She wrote it down now only because she was afraid of forgetting it.

When the potion is prepared and you go to find Dai Mubai, you will naturally destroy it.

"Next, let's go talk to the eldest sister."

Zhu Zhuqing sighed inwardly.

Everything in a dream is actually no different from reality, except for one thing.

That difference is the fundamental reason for all the changes.

Su Cheng.

In her original memory, there was no classmate named Su Cheng, and the Su family had no such person at all.

But she subconsciously believed that this person must exist somewhere in this world.

And then there's Qian Renxue...

Thinking of this, her eyes flickered, and her expression darkened slightly.

"The Spirit Hall..."

The vivid dream that lasted for more than twenty years had an extremely profound impact on Zhu Zhuqing.

Although it won't be like Qian Renxue, whose second personality completely changed her.

However, the subtle influence is extremely significant.

Furthermore, the influence of those long-standing memories can deepen over time.

In Su Cheng's room at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

As Su Cheng slowly opened his eyes, the memories from the simulated world quickly merged into his mind.

Unlike last time, this time, because it was a free exploration mode, the memories I gained were much richer and more complete.

However, for him, there weren't actually many extra feelings.

His original intentions remained unchanged, and coupled with the brain's self-protection mechanism, apart from those extremely profound memories, a large amount of other irrelevant information settled deep in his mind and did not have much impact on him.

[Main Quest Rewards Settlement (Settlement Bonus: 87%; Additional 25% bonus in Free Exploration Mode): External Soul Bone (True Sight), additional Primal Power.]

As the notification appeared, a twisted, dark gold vertical line materialized on Su Cheng's forehead.

At the same time, he felt his mental energy rapidly draining away at an alarming rate.

To be precise, it was instantly absorbed into the external soul bone on its forehead.

If someone were to look from the side at this moment, they would clearly see that Su Cheng's head was enveloped in a faint layer of dark golden light, with golden light constantly gathering towards the vertical lines on his forehead and his eyes.

In just a few breaths, his mental energy was completely exhausted.

A sharp headache and a feeling of emptiness spread throughout my body, and even my vision blurred.

But then, a warm feeling, like a gentle stream, flowed from the external soul bone on his forehead and flowed back into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The spiritual energy that returns becomes extremely concentrated and resilient.

The whole process was smooth and effortless, without causing him any discomfort.

At the same time, he used his sword intent to look into his sea of ​​consciousness, and it seemed that there was a point of light hanging in the sky above his sea of ​​consciousness, but he could not touch it and could only observe it from a distance.

Su Cheng slowly opened his eyes, and a bright white light flashed.

At that moment, the entire room seemed to light up instantly.

In his perception, it was as if an extra organ had appeared out of nowhere on his forehead, which made him a little uncomfortable, but he believed he would get used to it after some time.

However, the appearance of this external soul bone, which helped him further condense and enhance his spiritual power, was only a side effect.

Su Cheng could clearly feel that his intuition at short to medium distances had been enhanced to an unbelievable degree.

He looked around and silently pondered the meaning in his heart.

"It should be the effect of 'Insight'. Its exact strength will only be known through future battles. Besides that..."

The Martial Soul Longevity Sword appeared in his hand.

Su Cheng activated his True Sight Eye.

As his spiritual energy continued to flow in, a faint ray of light began to emanate from the vertical lines on his forehead.

Su Cheng shifted his gaze to the Longevity Sword in his hand.

However, what he was looking at was not the longsword spirit, but the three spirit rings attached to it.

At this moment, his perspective completely changed.

The scene that appeared before my eyes was no longer those specific things, but rather strands of different energy and information fluctuations, radiating colorful light and some indescribable laws.

His first spirit ring came from a nine-hundred-year-old earth-suppressing dragon of Genshan, a spirit beast with extreme earth attributes.

As his gaze focused further, the once vibrant and colorful world in his eyes suddenly turned black and white.

Only the first spirit ring, which he was focusing on at this moment, shone with an earthy yellow luster.

That wasn't the color of a hundred-year-old soul ring, but rather the attribute light of the ultimate earth.

Enveloped in yellow light was a slender, ethereal shadow whose features were difficult to discern.

As he continued to infuse his spiritual energy, the phantom gradually changed and distorted, beginning to transform into another form.

At this moment, Su Cheng suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.

The dark gold vertical lines on his forehead, which had been slightly open, suddenly closed and then became dull and lifeless.

He only realized it at that moment.

In just that brief moment, his mental energy was completely depleted!

It should be noted that although Su Cheng's combat power far exceeds that of ordinary Soul Masters, this is by no means his strongest point.

With the nourishment of medicine and the tempering of the sword intent of affection, his mental strength is much higher than his actual cultivation level, and he is not much weaker than a Soul King.

However, even so, it is still far from enough to support the consumption of True Sight.

Not only that.

As he further examined his own condition, he suddenly realized that the simulator, which had only run out of energy but remained in perfect condition after the last simulation, was now almost completely shut down, with only a very faint sense remaining.

Although Su Cheng was somewhat surprised, he remained calm and began to ponder with a furrowed brow.

What does "the power of origin" mean?

The rewards for completing this mission seem to far exceed his expectations.

This wasn't just based on his intuition; the current state of the simulator also indicated that this "True Sight Eye" was something somewhat beyond its capabilities.

But what exactly makes this thing so powerful is clearly beyond his current level to fully unleash its potential.

As for the silence surrounding emulators, it's not a major problem.

He now needs to spend time and energy to process and digest what he has gained this time.

Both research on martial spirits and the improvement of the Nirvana Sutra require a lot of time.

Especially since he would need to use the Nirvana Sutra to achieve the fusion of his two martial souls in the future, he did not plan to start a new round of simulations in the short term.

However, after acquiring this Eye of True Sight, he had some new ideas.

Although this thing consumes a lot of resources when used, the special vision it provides is indeed very helpful to him, and he can even use it to study the essence of spirit rings.

As a result, his original follow-up plans also need to be changed accordingly.

Tonight I'll tidy up the main storyline a bit. There will be a lot of characters appearing—Shrek Academy, Spirit Hall Academy, Heaven Dou Academy, and the Four Elements Academy—and the conflicts are quite significant, so I need to refine it further. The next chapter will probably be tomorrow afternoon.
