Inside the Black Stone Gang, in Chen Yi's own room.
The second simulation had ended.
The cultivation base of the fifth layer of the Spirit Gathering Realm surged into his body, making him feel an endless stream of power!
The key point was that he could feel a new kind of power within him—spiritual energy!
If vitality was the foundation of the physical body, then spiritual energy was the foundation of all mystical techniques for a martial artist, including martial arts!
Martial arts driven by spiritual energy were far more powerful than those executed with pure physical brute force, to the point of a qualitative change!
Some martial arts couldn't even be used without spiritual energy.
He had also inherited quite a few techniques from this simulation.
Besides the four mid-tier techniques given by Shen Qingshan, there were also dozens of family-inherited manuals obtained from Sun Chengen's personal guards.
However, the Chen Yi in the simulation didn't learn all of them. Most of those techniques were low-tier, so learning them wouldn't mean much.
Not to mention, he didn't have that much energy to spare.
Nevertheless, all the techniques were stored in Chen Yi's memories. If they ever proved useful one day, he could recall them at any time.
Chen Yi glanced at his status panel.
Less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn had passed in the real world, yet his panel data had undergone another massive change.
[Name: Chen Yi]
[Realm: Fifth Layer of the Spirit Gathering Realm]
[Techniques:
-- External Art: True Sun Art (Mid-tier, Mastered)
-- Internal Art: Blazing Heart Art (Mid-tier, Proficient)
-- Martial Arts: Cloud Burning Hand (Mid-tier, Mastered), Shen Family Spear (Mid-tier, Mastered), Wind and Wave Palm (Mid-tier, Beginner), Cloud Breaking Sword Art (Mid-tier, Beginner)...]

[Current Trait Quality Probabilities:]
[White Common 79%, Green Rare 14%, Purple Epic 5%, Gold Legendary 1.9%, Prismatic Mythic 0.1%]
Just now, Chen Yi had been too busy watching the simulation to even glance at the changes in probability.
Only now did he have the time to take a look.
"The probabilities for Gold and Prismatic, just looking at the numbers, have both increased tenfold..."
But it was still useless. The two combined were only 2%. Drawing them still relied on luck.
A new guidance quest had also appeared.
[Simulation on cooldown. Remaining time: One year.]
[You may choose to complete the following guidance quest to directly obtain a simulation opportunity.]
[Guidance Quest: Leave the Black Stone Gang and take Da Chun back to your hometown in Baiyun County!]
[The Black Stone Gang can no longer hold you back. Go home, wanderer!]
[Rewards:]
[1. Simulation count +1;]
[2. Premium Trait Draw *1;]
[3. Spirit Guiding Pill *10.]
"What am I waiting for?"
With a loud bang, Chen Yi kicked his room door open!
It was time to crush them with absolute superiority!
"What's wrong, Instructor? Why are you so angry?"
A minor lackey who had been on standby outside Chen Yi's door saw him kick the door flying and walked over to ask sycophantically.
Toward this gang that had persecuted him and Da Chun, Chen Yi had no good impressions of anyone here, not even the dogs.
Now that he finally had martial power in his hands, he only wanted to thoroughly and satisfyingly exact his revenge!
Chen Yi glanced at the lackey.
"I don't eat cilantro! Who told you to put cilantro in the hotpot at noon?!"
Chen Yi threw a punch. The lackey took off from where he stood, crashed into the wall, and smashed a spread-eagled crater into it.
A squad of guards patrolling nearby heard the commotion and rushed over.
They looked at the guy embedded in the wall, and then looked at Chen Yi.
"Instructor Chen, what is going on here?"
The lackey on the wall used his last bit of strength to speak.
"Captain Wu... it was the cilantro... Instructor Chen... doesn't eat cilantro!"
The patrol captain had a look of utter bewilderment.
"What kind of nonsense is this..."
Chen Yi remained perfectly calm.
"There's no need to panic. That man was a spy."
"A spy?"
"Quick, take me to the storehouse! I just forced a confession out of this spy. He has accomplices who have already infiltrated the storehouse duty roster. They are planning to make off with all the silver in the storehouse today!"
A single penny can stump a hero.
In the real world, money was a necessity for survival.
Chen Yi didn't want to waste time trying to earn money.
The best method, of course, was to rob the rich to feed the poor.
When the patrol captain heard that the money in the storehouse was about to be stolen, how could he let that happen?
Wouldn't that mean no wages for next month?
He didn't harbor much suspicion toward Chen Yi.
Because during the banquet at noon, the Gang Leader and Chen Yi had their arms around each other's shoulders, calling each other brothers. Wouldn't doubting Chen Yi be the same as doubting the Gang Leader's judgment in character?
Chen Yi was a newcomer and wasn't familiar with the layout of the Black Stone Gang's headquarters.
So, he fooled this group of people into leading the way for him.
By the time the group rushed to the storehouse, they happened to see the storehouse doors wide open, with over a dozen gang members carrying boxes out from inside.
Seeing this scene, the patrol captain instantly flew into a rage.
"You damn spies! You really are stealing the silver! Er Gouzi, go notify the Gang Leader. The rest of you brothers, come with me and slaughter these bastards!"
The gang members carrying boxes at the storehouse entrance turned around to look.
There's no one behind us?
Is this patrol captain calling us spies?
We're just bringing out some books and records to sun them so they don't get moldy!
Before they could even explain, the patrol squad's sabers were already hacking at their necks.
"What are you doing?! Wu, have you lost your mind?!"
The two groups started fighting among themselves.
The storehouse manager walked out. Seeing this scene, anger instantly flared on his face.
"Wu! Are you trying to rebel?!"
"Bullshit! You spies, none of you are getting away today!"
Chen Yi stood to the side, watching them engage in a dog-eat-dog brawl, finding it incredibly amusing.
While they were busy happily fighting each other, Chen Yi slipped into the storehouse. He tore down some fabric from the shelves to make a bundle and stuffed all the gold, silver, and jewels from the shelves into it.
There were also some pills in the storehouse. He didn't know what they were for, but he took them all anyway.
As he kept packing, the small bundle was no longer enough.
Chen Yi completely emptied a box filled with trash technique manuals and used the large box to continue packing.
"These are all ill-gotten gains earned by exploiting poor people! Today, I shall carry out justice on behalf of heaven. I will let this wealth come from the people and return to the people!"
There were simply too many things in the storehouse; Chen Yi couldn't take them all.
He had no intention of leaving the rest for the Black Stone Gang either.
Later, he would go to the docks to pick up Da Chun, and while he was at it, he would tell the coolies at the docks to come to the storehouse and take whatever they needed, dividing up all of the Black Stone Gang's property among themselves!
At this time, Shi Laosi arrived at the entrance of the storehouse with a group of men.
Seeing the storehouse overseer and the patrol captain leading their respective sides in a life-and-death struggle, his simple mind struggled to process the situation.
"What is going on here?! You are all brothers, why are you going at each other with real blades?!"
Patrol Captain: "Who would be brothers with a pack of spies!"
Storehouse Overseer: "Fourth Boss! That bastard Wu is staging a mutiny!"
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players. He thought he could develop safely, but after clearing the first instance, he is branded by humanity as the chief culprit behind the game's spread—a traitorous villain. A villain? Who would ever... become one! He'll be the villain! From then on, Zhu Yan is not only a player but also a lackey for the Carnival Paradise. Between the straight path and the crooked path, he chooses the con. With his left hand, he dons the villain's mantle, staging scenes within instances, infuriating players who decry him as a despicable traitor, all while the game happily promotes him. With his right hand, he joins the non-human organization "Fangcun Mountain," which opposes the Carnival Paradise, transforming into a mysterious player who slaughters game bosses, earning cheers of "Long live the expert!" from fellow players. Gradually, Zhu Yan rises to become an S-rank human player in Fangcun Mountain's archives, while also being the Carnival Paradise's certified top game Boss. But when the final war erupts and both major factions place their hopes in him— Players tag his various aliases: "Experts, this offensive depends on you." The Carnival Paradise's supreme Boss throws an arm around his neck: "Bro, you're the iron, I'm the steel; you can't let me down again!"
rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot? How can I tolerate this? With a grand wave of his hand—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! Slander the Emperor? Very well, all of you shall die! ... The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
