Lu Qian faced the five options presented by the villain simulator with almost no hesitation.
The first option was the [Primordial Dragon Elephant Scripture, Third Level (Profound Understanding)].
This was enough to elevate him from an ordinary person to a cultivator, granting him his own extraordinary power.
While not quite at the level of the monstrous geniuses in the imperial capital, he was certainly no less powerful than ordinary prodigies, and perhaps even stronger.
At the third level, Profound Understanding, he already possessed preliminary profound power. Ordinary firearms were useless; combined with powerful Daoist techniques and martial arts, he could easily annihilate a fully armed gang.
Even entering the imperial system, he could be granted a certain position and receive various privileges and benefits.
In some remote small town, he could easily become a kingpin.
Right now, he was about to be trapped in a deadly situation, facing numerous dangers from the mastermind behind it all; he had to master his own power.
The second item, [Awakening the "Supreme Emperor Bone"], is even less relevant.
Without awakening the [Supreme Emperor Bone] and with his own curse still present, his spiritual energy would rapidly dissipate, his cultivation would regress, and ultimately, he would revert to a mortal.
Without the support of the second reward, the first item, [Profound Understanding] cultivation, would likely vanish within a few hours, returning him to his original state.
Therefore, these two are complementary and the most important.
As for the other three items:
The fourth item, [A Bright Green Hat], can be directly disregarded. This is undoubtedly best left to certain chosen ones with peculiar fetishes.
He's not interested in that thing.
He might be somewhat interested in giving it to someone else.
The third reward, the blue talent "Slip Away," has already demonstrated its effectiveness in the villain simulator, proving to be a godsend for escaping.
Even Ye Chen, the protagonist of the fourth realm, "Divine Power," couldn't match its escape ability. Even the mastermind behind it was briefly outmaneuvered and its location couldn't be determined.
Ultimately, a "wait and see" strategy was used to lure it out before finally killing it.
The temporary blue talent "Slip Away" is undeniably powerful; solidifying it will be quite beneficial for subsequent simulations.
[Fifth Item: A portion of the destined heroine Liu Ruyue's destiny luck (lasts for three days)]
This choice is indeed good, but the first simulation clearly showed Lu Qian that luck is ultimately an external thing.
While it allows for avoiding misfortune and foreseeing danger, it's not omnipotent.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have died in the first simulation.
Furthermore, this option can be replicated in subsequent simulations.
In contrast, the blue talent "Slip Away with Greased Feet" was a reward that appeared during the first simulation; once it was gone, it was truly gone.
Boom!
As his three choices were made,
the terrifying power of the villain simulator was instantly revealed.
To his astonishment, a "river of time" suddenly pierced through dimensions, appearing before him and manifesting scenes from the first villain life simulation.
Soon, a corpse with its spine removed and a grotesque face appeared before him.
The corpse's face was exactly the same as his.
However, on the corpse now lay five fruits, each radiating a different luster.
*Whoosh!*
Three of the brightly glowing fruits suddenly fell, flying towards him.
The powerful energy of the third level of the *Primordial Dragon Elephant Scripture* instantly surged into his body.
*Roar!*
The roar of an ancient dragon elephant seemed to echo in his mind. Beneath his seemingly slender body, muscles bulged instantly, as if an ancient beast was awakening.
In an instant, he possessed the "Power of Ten Elephants," enough to easily tear apart steel and mud, immune to swords and guns, like a humanoid beast.
At this moment, he felt he could blast a tank with a single punch.
The *Primordial Dragon Elephant Scripture*, this ancient [Celestial-level] cultivation technique of the Lu family, prioritized physical strength, with Qi cultivation being secondary.
However, compared to the awakened [Supreme Emperor Bone] in his spine, the so-called "Ten Elephant Power" seemed insignificant.
With the awakening of the [Supreme Emperor Bone], the screams of ghosts and gods he had heard during the first simulation echoed in his mind once more...
Even the roars of the dragons and elephants within his body instantly became obedient and docile, as if they had encountered an unparalleled supreme being who ruled over heaven and earth, bowing their heads in submission.
At this moment, all traces of cultivation on Lu Qian's body were suppressed, not revealing a single detail.
Lu Zhong, the protector in the front seat, seemed to sense something and looked at Lu Qian through the rearview mirror, only to meet a pair of deep, domineering eyes.
An inexplicable suppression emanating from the bloodline level made him tremble involuntarily, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at him.
"What a terrifying gaze! Even the patriarch has never given me such a sense of oppression. Young Master Lu is clearly just an ordinary person without cultivation, yet the pressure he exerts on me at this moment is even more terrifying than that of those Celestial Ancestors."
"How is this possible?"
Lu Zhong's face was filled with disbelief.
His previous contempt and dissatisfaction towards this young master Lu, who was always called a spoiled brat, vanished instantly, replaced by a strange sense of awe.
This spoiled brat of the Lu family seemed to be more complex than the rumors suggested.
Seeing a Saintly expert who had reached the seventh realm being subdued by the pressure emanating from the [Supreme Emperor Bone], Lu Qian felt a surge of pride and a surge of heroic spirit.
This was what he wanted!
"I lack nothing now!"
[Host: Lu Qian]
[Age: Eighteen]
[Realm: Profound]
[Cultivation Technique: Primordial Dragon Elephant Scripture, Third Layer (Celestial Level)]
[Physique: Supreme Emperor Bone (???)]
[Talent: Slippery Foot (Blue)]
[Simulation Times: 2]
[Villain Points: 0]
With the reward received, the "River of Time" and the corpse vanished.
Lu Qian withdrew his gaze, looking at the attribute panel displayed in the simulator, gaining a deeper understanding of the [Supreme Emperor Bone].
Currently, he clearly hasn't yet unleashed the true power of the [Supreme Emperor Bone].
Only five minutes have passed since the first simulation.
There's still time before the impending doom.
"Continuing the second simulation. This time, I'll find the mastermind behind my murder, and while I'm at it, see if I can get anything out of Ye Chen, the chosen protagonist. I can also test the waters of this world."
"Villain Simulator, initiating the second simulation."
Lu Qian's eyes flashed with a cold light.
[Ding, initiating the second villain life simulation.]
[Host detected no villain points, talent extraction phase ignored, simulation begins.]
[You are the second young master of the Lu family. Due to the capital of Great Xia...]
[Due to the failure of the first simulation, you have become more cautious. This time, you did not get out of the car to pick up Liu Ruyue, but chose to sit in the car and wait quietly for something.]
[Soon, an hour passed. Ye Chen's figure hurriedly arrived from afar, his face showing some anxiety. He seemed extremely worried about Liu Ruyue. Soon, he saw Liu Ruyue not far away, and a Maybach in front of him...]
[Seeing the target appear, the corners of your mouth slightly curled up. You directly ordered Lu Zhong, who had reached the seventh realm of Sainthood, to attack Ye Chen. No need to capture him alive, just kill him and twist off his head.]
