Chapter 16: The Fourth Simulation — Ice and Fire Phoenix Martial Souls!
In the blink of an eye, Wang Li had turned thirteen.
Several months had already passed since he stole… no, took the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor soul bone.
"Three Pure Ones and Six Imperial Lords, Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva…"
"Please bless me—let me get something good from this simulation!"
By the seaside, Wang Li held three sticks of lit incense and murmured.
These past few months, he has been living by the coast.
Life was extremely comfortable.
When hungry, he ate fish or hunted some prey.
When his hands felt itchy, he would kill a few Sea Soul Beasts and devour and refine them.
Before obtaining a soul ring, Wang Li's soul power level remained at rank seventy, unable to detect any further increase.
After all, Wang Li was not a native of this world. He condensed his excess soul power, eventually forming a soul core in his lower dantian!
With a soul core, there was no longer any need to worry about cultivating or recovering soul power.
The reason why Titled Douluo of this era were inferior to hundred-thousand-year soul beasts—and could even be worn down and killed by ordinary human armies—was precisely because their soul power was limited!
Once their soul power was exhausted, even a Titled Douluo was merely a slightly stronger "ordinary" person.
Being ground down to death was only natural.
But a Titled Douluo with a soul core was a completely different matter.
With a soul core, soul power circulates, increases, and recovers every single moment.
After using a low-tier soul skill, only a bit of soul power would be consumed—and it would recover almost immediately.
Wang Li's physique had also reached an entirely new level.
After devouring so much soul power and flesh essence, even he himself did not know just how strong his body had become.
Sea Soul Beasts, around thirty thousand years old, were utterly incapable of causing him any physical harm!
Today was Wang Li's birthday.
Others didn't know his exact birthday—but the simulator did.
Because today, the simulator panel refreshed once again!
The simulation chances that Wang Li had long used up now displayed a "1."
This meant he could use the simulator again!
"Use one simulation chance."
[Using a simulation chance…]
[Opening the fourth simulation…]
[Loading Fate: Lone Star of Calamity has been loaded.]
Wang Li: "..."
He was already too lazy to complain.
[Simulation begins!]
[You transmigrated to the Douluo Continent. You were born in Sky Water City.]
[Not long after, your parents died in an accident.]
Wang Li: "..."
'Sky Water City? Isn't that the city where I bought the map?'
When Wang Li had bought a map in Sky Water City, he had even run into people from Sky Water Academy.
Though he didn't care much about it at the time, he still remembered.
[Your mother was once a student of Sky Water Academy. Your situation became known to the academy's Dean.]
[When you were on the verge of starving to death, the Dean of Sky Water Academy brought you back to the academy.]
[The Dean of Sky Water Academy suffers from androphobia. Yet when she held you, she strangely felt no discomfort at all, which left her deeply astonished.]
[After confirming it carefully, you were indeed a boy.]
Wang Li: "???"
[You were adopted by the Dean of Sky Water Academy and learned her name—Shui Muwan.]
[Shui Muwan has androphobia. Even at sixty years of age, she never married nor had children. You became her adopted son.]
[You behaved very obediently and barely caused Shui Muwan any worry. She grew increasingly fond of you and treated you as her own flesh and blood.]
[You became the only male lifeform in Sky Water Academy.]
[You were often harassed by beautiful senior sisters, which troubled you greatly—they were always trying to dress you in little skirts…]
The corner of Wang Li's eye twitched, and he felt at a loss.
Thankfully, this was only a simulation!
If this happened in reality, just thinking about it would make one's scalp go numb!
[Your troubles were the envy of others. You gained the envy of the vast majority of men.]
[You gradually grew to the age of martial soul awakening, which your adoptive mother Shui Muwan took very seriously.]
[Your mother had once been her student and possessed excellent talent.]
[Your father was also a genius. Unfortunately, the two of them died unexpectedly while hunting soul beasts.]
[Shui Muwan personally awakened your martial soul.]
[Your martial soul mutated. The Ice Bird mutated into an Ice Phoenix, leaving Shui Muwan dumbfounded.]
[You quietly told Shui Muwan that you seemed to have another martial soul, causing her face to go blank.]
[You revealed your second martial soul in front of Shui Muwan. Your second martial soul also mutated into a Fire Phoenix.]
[Your soul power had no surprises—it was Innate Full Soul Power.]
Innate full soul power… Ice and Fire Phoenix?
Wang Li shook his head, completely unconcerned.
Compared to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Ice and Snow Spirit, what did Ice and Fire Phoenix even amount to?
At best, they were just slightly larger ants!
[With a grave expression, Shui Muwan warned you that before becoming a Titled Douluo, you must never expose your second martial soul: the Fire Phoenix!]
[You were not a native of this world and naturally understood why your adoptive mother said this. You immediately nodded in agreement.]
[The next day, news spread that the headmaster of Sky Water Academy's adopted son possessed a mutated Ice Phoenix martial soul and Innate Full Soul Power.]
[You gained preliminary fame within the Soul Master world.]
[Within Sky Water Academy, you became even more popular. Students were constantly saying they wanted to introduce their younger sisters to you.]
[Shui Muwan took you to the Frozen Forest to obtain your first soul ring.]
[Only then did you learn that this adoptive mother of yours was actually a Rank eighty-two Soul Douluo!]
[She was also the current head of the Shui Family, as well as the paternal aunt of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er!]
[With Shui Muwan's help, you successfully obtained your first soul ring—a hundred-year soul ring of over four hundred and thirty years.]
[You gained the instant-cast soul skill: Ice Seal.]
[Your soul power reached rank thirteen, which slightly surprised Shui Muwan.]
[You returned to Sky Water Academy, and time began to pass rapidly.]
[As Shui Muwan grew older, she passed the position of Shui Family head to her younger brother, the father of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.]
[She spent her days in Sky Water Academy tending flowers and watering plants, living an extremely comfortable life.]
[With a son like you, she had nothing to worry about. Her soul power level broke through!]
"Good heavens… truly impressive!"
How could someone who cultivated to the level of a Soul Douluo possibly be mediocre?
After laying down part of her burdens and having successors to carry on, she had plenty of time to cultivate—and no pressure at all.
Once her state of mind improved, a breakthrough was only natural.
[You turned twelve, and your soul power level reached rank forty-six.]
[Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er entered Sky Water Academy. They were around the same age as you.]
[Xue Wu, Qiu Ruoshui, and the others had entered the academy several years earlier.]
[You estimated that Tang San was currently about eleven years old, probably still playing with mud in Nuoding City.]
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were slightly older than Tang San—at most one or two years.
[Both you and Shui Bing'er possessed Ice Phoenix martial souls, which made her very curious about you.]
[You left Shui Bing'er deeply frustrated. Despite being the same age, her soul power level was far lower than yours!]
[Due to physical reasons, she was unable to perform martial soul possession, while you had no such limitation, which made Shui Bing'er extremely envious.]
