BTTH: Breaking The Simulation

Chapter 143: Emotional Doppelgänger



With Xiao Feng's current soul power, if he were to use his mental energy for attacks, an ordinary Dou Emperor wouldn't be able to resist.

Besides being used as an attack method, mental energy can also function like soul power to perceive the surroundings, and its detection range is incredibly vast.

In the movie Resident Evil, Alice even used mental energy to remotely destroy the Umbrella Corporation's satellite.

It's important to note that even low-orbit satellites have altitudes ranging between 200 to 2000 kilometers.

This means that Alice's mental energy attack range could reach at least 200 kilometers.

Xiao Feng's soul strength far surpasses Alice's. After awakening his mental energy, the farthest range his mental energy could attack reached a staggering 5,000 kilometers.

Of course, the further the attack distance, the weaker the power of the mental energy becomes.

Although Xiao Feng could use his mental energy to attack targets more than 5,000 kilometers away, at such a great distance, the energy would be severely diminished. The resulting power would likely be equivalent to an ordinary person throwing a punch.

This also explains why, in the movie, Alice merely damaged parts of the Umbrella Corporation's satellite with her mental energy, rather than completely destroying it.

After testing his mental energy capabilities, Xiao Feng shifted his attention to the other nine simulation rewards.

With Xiao Feng's current strength, ordinary simulation rewards no longer appealed to him. Only the [T-virus] and [Miniature Nuclear Bomb] piqued his interest.

The [T-virus] needs no introduction—after all, the entire Resident Evil storyline revolves around it.

It's no exaggeration to say that this is a terrifying existence capable of ending the world!

If Xiao Feng had obtained a vial of the T-virus in his previous life, even the five major rogue nations would have treated him like a deity, fearing that if he became unhappy, he'd drag the whole world down with him.

However, in the world of Dou Qi, the T-virus isn't as terrifying.

The T-virus itself is not particularly lethal, comparable only to third or fourth-tier poisons. Its true horror lies in its extreme transmissibility.

Moreover, the T-virus requires time to spread. Unless it could instantly cover the entire Dou Qi Continent, the powerful figures of the continent would quickly react.

Since the Umbrella Corporation managed to develop an antidote to the T-virus, the high-level alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent should also find it relatively easy to create an antidote.

After toying with the glass vial containing the T-virus for a while, Xiao Feng stored it in his system space, deciding not to use it unless absolutely necessary.

Having sealed away the dangerous T-virus, Xiao Feng began studying the miniature nuclear bomb.

Xiao Feng's interest in the nuclear bomb wasn't due to its immense power but because of its relatively low production cost.

In Xiao Feng's previous life, the nuclear bomb was indeed the most powerful weapon humanity had. But on the Dou Qi Continent, its power was only average, at most posing a threat to Dou Emperor experts. 

(T/N: Meh, I had call it cap)

Considering that Haibo Dong could freeze an entire human city in a fit of rage, it's clear that a Dou Emperor expert is akin to a walking nuclear weapon.

Not to mention that DouAncestor-level experts can even tear through space and use spatial force to directly counter a nuclear explosion.

Compared to the magical tools and weapons Xiao Feng has refined, the method for creating a nuclear bomb is laughably simple.

Especially with a physical example to reference, Xiao Feng quickly mastered the method of crafting nuclear bombs. All he needed was the necessary raw materials to perfectly recreate them.

Xiao Feng planned to combine the nuclear bomb with puppet techniques to create a batch of nuclear-powered explosion puppets, which he could either use himself or give to Little Doctor Immortal and others for self-defense.

These explosion puppets would appear weak on the surface, but they could unleash an attack equivalent to the full strength of a Dou Emperor expert—an absolute surprise for the enemy.

After safely storing the miniature nuclear bomb used for research, Xiao Feng pulled up his character attribute panel:

[Name: Xiao Feng]

[Cultivation Level: One-Star Dou Emperor]

[Bloodline: Giant of the Emperor (Nine-Star DouAncestor)]

[Domain: God of War Domain]

[Soul Bone: 100,000-Year Mirror Magic Spider Right Leg Bone (Mirroring)]

[Abilities: Teleknesis, Ice Blood Demonic Arts, Clone Blood Demonic Arts...]

[Techniques: Xunlong Nine Transformations (Third Transformation)]

[Dou Techniques: Transparent World, Moon Breathing, Emperor Seal Technique...]

[Merit Points: 12,755,632]

[Simulation Attempts: 0 (Countdown: 30 days)]

Looking at his more than 12 million merit points, Xiao Feng nodded in satisfaction, feeling like a prosperous farmer gazing at his overflowing granaries.

As the saying goes: "Money gives the poor courage!"

With so many merit points in hand, Xiao Feng no longer worried about drawing expensive simulation rewards that he couldn't afford.

...

As the golden sun set and the bright moon rose in the east, the elder guarding the tower called out, "Close the tower!"

The students practicing within the Sky Flame Refining Tower reluctantly left, as the inner courtyard regulations required the tower to close at night. This was due to the fact that the Heart Flame released by the Fallen Heart Flame would leave behind flame toxins in the practitioners' bodies, which could only be safely managed by restricting training to daylight hours.

However, inner courtyard elders like Xiao Feng were not subject to this rule and could train within the tower for extended periods, as the residual flame toxins posed no threat to even the weakest Dou King.

As the tower closed, the door to Xiao Feng's training room slowly opened, and a strange figure emerged.

This figure looked almost identical to Xiao Feng, but with some bird-like features. Its limbs were sharp like talons, and it had a pair of black wings on its back, all while a wide smile spread across its face.

Upon closer inspection, one could see a "joy" character engraved on its tongue.

This grinning bird-man was one of Xiao Feng's emotional doppelgängers, representing the emotion of "joy"—the Joy Doppelgänger.

With a strong flap of its wings, the Joy Doppelgänger flew toward the entrance of the magma world at the bottom of the Sky Flame Refining Tower—a vast world of lava pools radiating suffocating heat.
