Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

After Wang Chao and Tang Zichen had fully recovered, Sun Shisheng took them back to reality, right back to where they originally were. It seemed as though Sun Shisheng and Wang Chao's parents hadn't noticed that Sun Shisheng and the others had left at all.

Tang Zichen, with her sharp awareness, noticed this and asked, "Is the flow of time in the Taixu Illusory Realm different from the real world?"

If that was the case, then that place really was a cheat space for cultivation!

Not only did it possess pseudo-Spiritual Energy, but it also offered more time than reality did.

"The Taixu Illusory Realm is all about one word, 'illusion'. Dreams are like a short-lived wild millet, a lifetime in a dream." Sun Shisheng made an analogy. "In reality, the time experienced is the same, it's just that your perception of time was elongated."

Wang Chao said, "That's not much different from what Sister Chen said, is it?"

Sun Shisheng replied, "In terms of feeling, saying that time was stretched isn't wrong. However, the essence of it still needs to be explained. In the future, if you reach my level, you will be able to create your own small worlds more easily."

Wang Chao neither agreed nor disagreed.

After all, he, Tang Zichen, and Chan Yinsha were far behind Sun.

It was still best to stay grounded.

But—

"Sun, can we go into the Taixu Illusory Realm often?" Wang Chao asked.

"Same old rules, a special discount for you guys. One million for one entry, thirty minutes each time," Sun Shisheng said with a smile akin to that of a crafty merchant.

"That's a very reasonable price."

Wang Chao nodded, but he understood that he was still broke.

Chan Yinsha, however, brought up another matter: "Sun, it seems like the higher-ups should have been aware of Wang Chao's situation for quite some time. Why haven't they made contact?"

"It's simple. They think the scene where Wang Chao blew up the fighting ring was fake, that it was a performance," Sun Shisheng said nonchalantly. "You've seen the corresponding news reports, haven't you?"

Wang Chao and Chan Yinsha looked at each other and nodded, "Indeed, aside from promoting my prowess in the first few days, the days that followed were all about claiming that we were acting and that the ring was tampered with."

There were three main reasons for the outside world to speculate like this.

First, Wang Chao was too young. By common standards, even if one started training in the womb, it would be impossible to reach such ferocity.

Second, for the sake of stability.

If Wang Chao's strength were acknowledged, it was likely that people from all over the world would come to see for themselves. The mainland would become a place of turmoil and upheaval.

For that reason, they had to claim it was fake.

Third, when the fighting ring shattered, only Wang Chao was injured, while the audience was unharmed.

This was the most discussed point among the public.

After all, if there was really such a powerful force capable of smashing the ring and sending splinters flying at speeds faster than sound, it would be impossible for only Wang Chao to get hurt.

And yet, Wang Chao was indeed the only one injured.

To those within the martial arts community, not even the strongest fighters, believed to be indestructible by deities, could control the force to contain every splinter in the moment the ring was destroyed.

But somehow, Wang Chao managed to do just that...

Therefore, in the traditional martial arts community, martial arts masters who had not witnessed Wang Chao's punch in person all believed that he and Zhang Tong, along with other big bosses, had colluded to put on a Qi performance.

To them, such antics were beneath contempt!

In their eyes, Wang Chao and the others had become charlatans pandering for public attention.

Even though Chan Yinsha had some fame within the martial arts circle, the older generation of masters thought she had fallen from grace by collaborating in a staged act.

Even without mentioning Wang Chao smashing the ring, just watching the two spar in the video was enough to insult the intelligence of these martial arts masters.

Taking steps in place, without a running start, leaping over ten meters in one bound—you think this is a movie?

Nevertheless, they also sensed that the investors behind the spectacle must have paid Chan Yinsha a tidy sum, for she had even used an impressive Qi technique, obviously going all out.

Moreover, following this event, Chan Yinsha's dojo was renamed "Ming Lun", and in the course of two months, it had attracted a large number of students, further convincing these masters of their speculation.

This was just a gimmick!

They scorned it!

They were jealous!

They were envious!

Even, they had convinced themselves inwardly that this was the way to survive in the peaceful and stable era of kung fu.

Underground fighting, enduring hardships on a mountain, wandering like an ascetic... perhaps that had become outdated.

"Isn't that good for us? This way, we'll have a peaceful development period, rather than having to fight against those desperados," Sun Shisheng said, his lips curling upward.

"Sun is right. Anyway, I don't like being famous," Wang Chao nodded. He had learned from Zhang Tong that being famous was exhausting, involving a lot of socializing and relationship-building every day.

Although he couldn't sever the vast net of worldly concerns, with his current status, he couldn't untangle it either. Therefore, it was best to avoid getting stuck if he could.

"Head of the school, deputy head, Master Tang, Coach Chan."

Wang Guang approached with a smile on his face.

In the past two months, the hair on his bald head had grown back, but he still preferred a short cut, and his physical fitness had improved significantly thanks to the martial arts training; even his temples were slightly bulging.

He radiated vitality, a far cry from the sleaziness and timidity he exhibited two months ago.

It was mainly the addition of self-confidence.

In the martial arts school, as full boarders, regular students had to pay tuition, but not the likes of Wang Guang and other ruffians.

They weren't left idle, though; they were organized into a patrolling team resembling security guards, required to patrol regularly, also taking care of the school's cleanliness, and teaching lessons to the brash youngsters who came to challenge the school.

Besides, they also served as experimental subjects for the training and hypnosis exercised by Wang Chao, Chan Yinsha, and Tang Zichen.

It was precisely because they were used as guinea pigs by these individuals that they could achieve such progress in just two months.

Although they had not yet developed real power and were a long way from the 'obvious energy', with sufficient sleep and nutrition over the past two months, along with some routines, they could now compete with ordinary students who had been practicing for seven to eight years.

"Wang Guang, how do you think the current you compares with the you from before?" Sun Shisheng asked indifferently.

"The current me is completely transformed," Wang Guang sighed. "If I saw the old me, I imagine I couldn't help but teach myself a lesson. I really don't understand how I used to be like that... Thank goodness I met the head of the school; otherwise, I would've stayed that way my whole life, probably never getting married."

Though he still didn't have a girlfriend, he now possessed a self-confidence he never had as a ruffian, definitely much more formidable than the average person.

"Oh right, I almost forgot the important matter," Wang Guang slapped his forehead. "Head of the school, someone has come to challenge us, and he defeated Zhao Xinglong using only one hand, without even moving from the spot."

Wang Chao's interest was piqued, "Defeated Zhao Xinglong with one hand? He's not strong, but he's considered a master in this area... What does that person look like?"

Wang Guang replied, "Deputy head, the guy looks young, as if he has trained in Hard Qi Skill."

"Let's go have a look."

Sun Shisheng led the way to the training ground, with Wang Chao and the others following closely behind.

On the way, passing by the meditation room, Zhang Tong, who had just woken from deep sleep, saw Sun Shisheng and the others coming and hurried out to ask, "As Ming Lun's student population grows, it's rare to see all of you gathered together. Has someone come to challenge the school?"

"Yes," Sun Shisheng said. "A child as excellent as Wang Chao."

Wang Chao was taken aback, then came to a realization.

He knew Sun could read the aura and had said he possessed Yuanshi energy, the energy of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Even though he found this notion a bit like a charlatan's trick, since Sun had said it, he preferred to believe it existed rather than not. Maybe one day, he could indeed achieve the legendary position of Yuanshi.

"As powerful as Wang Chao?" Zhang Tong was surprised. She knew all too well just how strong Wang Chao was.

"Not just powerful, but also excellent," Sun Shisheng corrected. "In fact, in terms of comprehension, he is much stronger than Wang Chao."

Wang Chao felt a bit incredulous and asked, "Sun, you once said that I have the Yuanshi energy pattern. What kind of energy pattern did you see in that challenger?"

"The purple energy comes from the east, and the dragon and tiger create the elixir; there is the surging of Taiqing energy and the gathering of Daoist golden light energy patterns," calmly, Sun Shisheng didn't hide what he had seen.

"Laozi!"

"Daoist Celestial Master!"

Zhang Tong was even more astonished, with Tang Zichen and Chan Yinsha finding it hard to believe as well.

After the surprise, Zhang Tong said with a chuckle, "Does that mean there will be a Spiritual Treasure Celestial Master appearing soon?"

"Yes," Sun Shisheng calculated, seemingly seeing through the future. "The Three Pure Ones have two already, the emergence of the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Master is not far off. And since the Three Pure Ones assist and are born from each other, that person will also come here in time."

Wang Chao couldn't help but ask, "Sun, can you calculate the person's name?"

Sun Shisheng laughed, "That's easy. Just like the person who has come to challenge us now, with the energy pattern of the Supreme, his purple energy comes from the east, with the energy pattern of the Azure Dragon vibrant with life, he must be a Li of the wood element." Read ahead and get updates at M*V*L*E*M*P*Y*R.

"As for the name, seeing the energy pattern of the dragon and tiger forming elixir, yet loose like sand, countless and innumerable, he should be called Li Hansha."

"Li Hansha."

Chan Yinsha was surprised, "It's kind of similar to my name, with a 'sha' character in it."

"I'm talking about the 'sha' of sand," Sun Shisheng shook his head. "As for the other yet-to-arrive Spiritual Treasure Celestial Master, what surname they have is still undecided, but they will have the single name 'Jie'."

Tang Zichen was astonished, "Jie? That is odd. Do parents really name their child 'Jie'? Then, it's highly likely the surname is Mei or Wu."

Wang Chao agreed, "Wu Jie or Mei Jie, sounds like 'none' or 'none existence', implying the absence of calamity."

Talking and laughing, they arrived at the training ground.

A young man with a refined appearance was standing in the center of the spacious training ground, his eyes like stars, appearing as if he were the center of the place, the beginning of all things.

I am the direction!

I am the ruler!

However, the arrival of Sun Shisheng, Wang Chao, Tang Zichen, and Chan Yinsha broke the atmosphere created by the young man's presence, as if they reset the harmony of the environment.

The young man gave a fist salute and adopted a stance similar to the Bajiquan, saying, "I am Li Hansha, please enlighten me!"
