Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

Xiao Wu was at a loss, Tang San comforted her, saying he would always stand by her side.

And Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang again, "Back to the point, the soul master talents of these kids are indeed very outstanding, but did they grow thanks to you, to your efforts?"

"With their talents, in which academy couldn't they have grown up?"

"I even think they might grow better in other academies. After all, no matter how bad other academies are, they have some mimicry environments."

Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists, and Tang San also secretly gritted his teeth.

Although the teacher's theory indeed has significant problems... after all, he is his teacher, is it necessary to be so blunt?

The key point is, the whole time it didn't involve any dirty words.

"Erlong, you've changed." Yu Xiaogang unclenched his fists and looked at the other person with a distant gaze.

"Over twenty years, change is inevitable... and now my mind is clear, I've figured it out, you're simply a coward. After you left, you didn't write me even one letter." Liu Erlong's tone was flat, "If it weren't for the relationship with the Heart Ape and the benefits I gained, I might still be lost in my own yearning."

"You!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he heard, did Liu Erlong have a relationship with Heart Ape?

"Is there a problem?" Liu Erlong knew Yu Xiaogang misunderstood, but she didn't explain, instead, she crossed her legs, sipped some hot tea, and slowly said, "I sincerely hope you don't aim too high and don't try to cut corners... I learned about your situation at Nuoding Academy from Sun Ming... you were just muddling along there, waiting to die, and besides this twin martial soul owner, it seems you didn't teach anyone else?"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang gritting his teeth, Liu Erlong felt a little disappointed, "Judging by your expression, it should be true."

Yu Xiaogang insisted, "Most of the students at Nuoding Academy only have innate soul power of one or two levels, they're not qualified..."

"There is no useless martial soul, only useless soul masters." Liu Erlong interrupted Yu Xiaogang, her eyes showing some impatience, "Isn't that what you said?"

Yu Xiaogang wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say a word.

"Moreover, it seems like this wasn't said by you, but recorded in a biography in the Martial Soul Hall library, written by a soul douluo from a hundred years ago."

Liu Erlong hit Yu Xiaogang again, "Of course, it could also be said that you were inspired, but why, after fifty or sixty years, is your soul power still only at level twenty-nine?"

"Are you mocking me?" Yu Xiaogang's lips trembled.

"No, just encouraging you, hoping you make more practical choices, don't aim too high." Liu Erlong sighed, "Another question, after all these years, have you studied what exactly the mutation of your martial soul is?"

Yu Xiaogang frowned, thought for a long time, and still said, "My martial soul is just a malignant mutation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, is there a problem?"

"Is that so."

Liu Erlong was already completely disappointed, "No wonder you're just a 'theoretical master', you don't even understand what kind of mutation your martial soul has... Haven't you ever thought—"

"Why, back then, did Flander's and your martial soul fusion technique have your Luo Sanpao as the main body? Clearly, it was a weak martial soul with a malignant mutation."

"Why did the martial soul fusion produce a Gold Saint Dragon? Why is it a light attribute?"

"Clearly, Flander's cat eagle provided flight, my red fire dragon offered energy, what did your Luo Sanpao provide?"

"Thunder?"

"But why does the manifested form have the light attribute?"

Yu Xiaogang thought of a possibility, his pupils shrank sharply, "Could it be—"

"That's right, your martial soul is actually evolving towards a powerful martial soul like the Radiant Saint Dragon, it just hasn't fully evolved initially, creating a rift with you, and not displayed in a possessed form." Liu Erlong said plainly, "If your first and second spirit rings had originated from light attribute spirit beasts, maybe it could have been awakened..."

"Unfortunately, the chance was missed, but it's not without hope. If only you hadn't been so proud at the time, relying on the resources of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, would you be stuck at level twenty-nine?"

"But it's also fortunate you didn't break through to level thirty, otherwise, adding a thunder attribute spirit ring to Luo Sanpao later... might have further slowed down your cultivation speed."

Yu Xiaogang stepped back three or five steps, leaning against the wall beside him, his face full of disbelief, both surprised and delighted, "Sanpao is actually a super beast martial soul, the Radiant Saint Dragon!"

"Yes, Sun Ming guessed this after hearing about our martial soul fusion technique, but what have you been researching for over twenty years?" Liu Erlong put down her crossed legs and coldly questioned, "Don't tell me you think about me every day. If not for this twin martial soul disciple, you'd probably hide in Nuoding City for your whole life."

Yu Xiaogang lowered his head, silent, not daring to speak.

Flander spoke, "Erlong, Xiaogang actually misses you a lot."

"Whether he misses me or not, I know myself, I don't need you to tell me." Liu Erlong retorted, then spoke to Yu Xiaogang, "If the kids want to stay, fine, this fatty can stay here with me at Extreme Fire Academy, but the others need to be arranged to suitable academies."

"No way! Absolutely not!" Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, this was his most likely chance to prove himself.

"Yu Xiaogang, if you want to prove yourself, you should experiment on yourself first. Soul master's cultivation requires one to forge ahead courageously. Don't you even have that bit of courage?" Liu Erlong's voice grew louder, but Yu Xiaogang's hesitant and timid demeanor left her somewhat disheartened.

Hopeless!

How did I fall for this guy in the first place?

Martial soul fusion technique...

"Well, Erlong, how about we stay at your Extreme Fire Academy for a while?" Flander suggested sheepishly, "When the competition starts later, we can be substitutes for your Extreme Fire Academy. I heard the academy has a lot of autonomy within Ming Lun."

"Yes, but I don't allow it." Liu Erlong switched legs leisurely, "I'm after all pursuing the dean of Ming Lun, I need to show some performance."

"Erlong, don't be like this, we're friends." Flander smiled bitterly.

"Friends, yes, but even blood brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Besides, we haven't seen each other for nearly twenty years, and we've only exchanged a few letters." Liu Erlong said slowly, "Time changes people the most."

Yu Xiaogang tried to tug on the heartstrings, recalling past events with Liu Erlong, but she wouldn't have any of it, "Either you follow my arrangements, or leave. These are the only two choices. I don't have extra dorms here, and the academy isn't a rental place, not even for money."

"There's no other option?" Yu Xiaogang tried once more.

"There is, I can take you to see Sun Ming and see how he arranges things." When mentioning Sun Ming, Liu Erlong showed reverence, "He is gentle. Even with a countryside farmer, he would chat warmly."

"Is he really a Titled Douluo?" Flander was surprised. "I heard he's a peerless Douluo, is he really that humble?" If you're not on M*VLEM*PYR, you're viewing a copy.

"No." Liu Erlong got up, "Want to meet him?"

"Then let's go."

Yu Xiaogang made the decision, curious to see what kind of person Sun Ming was, who managed to infatuate Liu Erlong so much that she didn't care about him...

...

Meanwhile.

In the quiet backyard of Ming Lun, by a tranquil lakeside pavilion, Sun Ming was playing a game with Bibi Dong. Beside them sat a blonde woman.

Her skin was fair as snow, nose delicate, eyes phoenix-like and slender, a face of exceptional beauty, yet she carried a regal demeanor.

It was Qian Renxue.

After Bibi Dong's martial soul fused into the Light and Dark Goddess Spider, she decided to talk to Qian Renxue. Coincidentally, Qian Renxue, in the guise of "Xue Qinghe," came to mingle with Sun Ming... thus, the true identity of Xue Qinghe was revealed.

"I lost again." Bibi Dong laid down the white piece helplessly and sighed, "I didn't expect such profound mysteries in these black and white pieces, requiring careful calculation with every step, or else I'd lose completely."

"If Sister Dong wants to achieve something, it's easy, but maintaining it is hard." Bibi Dong had come many times and was familiar with Sun Ming, so he boldly called her Sister Dong, "This time you've come, is it for another transaction?"

Sun Ming's address as "Sister Dong" was accepted by Bibi Dong, who jokingly said, "Can't I just come to play some chess with you and talk about great principles?"

"Honestly, you haven't reached my level." Sun Ming looked at Bibi Dong seriously.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. What do you think about my daughter's replacement of the Tiandou Empire's prince?" Bibi Dong's tone was calm, but Qian Renxue became tense.

If Sun Ming wasn't pleased, the future would certainly mean opposing Martial Soul Hall.

"Just deceit and scheming among the three great forces." Other than that, Sun Ming had no other opinions.

"Then what if I want Ming Lun to submit to Martial Soul Hall?" Qian Renxue suddenly asked.

"After graduating, the students of the academy are free to join Martial Soul Hall if they wish. As for Ming Lun, remaining neutral, whichever of your three great forces wins, we'll join. After all, an academy is a sacred ground for education, not a factory for breeding war machines." Sun Ming shrugged, looking indifferent.

"If anyone else said this, Martial Soul Hall would be the first to destroy them!" Qian Renxue snorted coldly.

"Hmm, makes sense. So do you think Ming Lun should also compete for the world?" Sun Ming nodded and then asked with a smile, "After all, if I made a move, even if you become a god, it'd just be a one-stick affair."

"You're merely level ninety-nine!"

"I've turned down many gods who offered me an olive branch." Sun Ming stretched and yawned, "I don't want to be constrained by the rules of the Divine Realm. It's better to be freer without violating my heart."

"You're enviable." Bibi Dong smiled, "This time, besides asking this question, I also wanted to buy some exotic flowers and herbs from you. You absolutely have some, right?"

"I do. One piece of a ten-thousand-year soul bone in exchange for one, and I'll help mediate between you and Brother Dugu." Sun Ming cheerfully said, glancing into the distance, "However, your old acquaintance has arrived."
