Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

By the time Zhang Manman returned to Su Jie's side, only a scattering of boxes remained behind her, evidence of her glorious victory.

"How did it go?"

Zhang Manman asked proudly.

"The purpose of this Soul-Calming Shuttle is not to serve as a weapon, but it sure acts like a shield, and its material is very special, capable of blocking attacks from skills with a life force of 3." Su Jie didn't quite understand why a shield would be called a Soul-Calming Shuttle, given that shuttles were typically long and slim items.

With a flip of her hair, Zhang Manman laughed and said, "If this shield gets painted, I'll be the captain of the Shenzhou team!"

Su Jie shook his head and began to pick up the items.

In the upcoming battles, if their opponents were like cultivators, they must be fully equipped; otherwise, those enemies would be difficult to deal with.

Just like the owner of this silver box at their feet.

With a life force of only 3, but armed with a magical treasure, their combat power could skyrocket, much like a human-shaped nuclear bomb.

This was no exaggeration.

For Su Jie, the thirty-six Qingping Swords were like thirty-six small nuclear reactors, containing an incredibly powerful force.

The thirty-six Qingping Swords were the greatest prize from this venture for Su Jie.

"It's class leader Su Jie!"

More players were approaching.

This time, they were acquaintances, classmates.

"Hello, class leader!"

Four classmates greeted Su Jie and came over, with no intention of fighting; they had also visited the Huan Ji Building Battle Platform in the afternoon and had witnessed Su Jie's valiant figure. They didn't have the courage to challenge him.

They figured that even a surprise attack wouldn't give them a chance of winning.

"Sorry, it looks like your journey might end here," Su Jie joked.

"Cough! You don't have to say that, class leader."

"We just came to join in the fun, we didn't come here with the intention of winning the championship."

"Right, it's just for entertainment."

"Moreover, the Supreme Cup isn't only about this knockout tournament, there's also a points competition, which will last a week and everyone can participate unconditionally. It's based on individual points, and while there are no Energy Beasts as rewards in the points competition, there are still some very good prizes."

"For instance, purifying by Spiritual Fire."

The so-called Spiritual Fire comes from the dimension of fire and is incredibly precious.

Of course, the flames themselves won't be the prize for the points competition, but being refined once by the Spiritual Fire can bring tremendous benefits.

This kind of flame won't scald the human body but instead will remove various harmful substances within, akin to purifying internal injuries and increasing potential.

Su Jie nodded, showing his understanding.

In the next ten minutes, another white pillar of light burst from the center of Ice Fire Island, shooting straight into the sky.

Accompanied by the strange sight of the Uzumaki gate, a ten-meter long centipede slowly emerged from the column of light.

The carapace of the centipede was pitch-black, with connections outlined by golden stripes. The sound of its myriad feet rustling was enough to send shivers down anyone's spine.

"Is this Ice Fire Island's airdrop?"

"The Supreme Cup's competition is indeed different."

Su Jie's four classmates were astounded.

To claim the airdrop, one must defeat the monster first.

"Step back. This creature's life force is around 4. I'll take care of it," Su Jie said, his expression changing. He spat out a sword pellet from his mouth, which shot out and pierced straight through the centipede's head, slicing its entire body in half.

Thump!

The centipede fell and turned into a golden box.

Zhang Manman blinked, "Is it really that easy?"

Su Jie retracted the sword pellet, sensing no residues of the centipede's fluids on it, and swallowed it back into his stomach.

Since the process was discreet, the four classmates didn't notice Su Jie's sword pellet. They merely thought that Su Jie had turned his breath into a sword and killed the centipede in one blow, and now he was consuming medicine to replenish his mana.

"I didn't expect it to be this easy either," Su Jie was surprised as well, but he quickly composed himself. He had definitely underestimated the power of the flying sword.

It hadn't been used to its full potential in the hands of that cultivator!

That could be understood, after all, the cultivator's life force was only 3.

And his was 7.

Opening the box, there were two types of items. The first was a set of centipede body armor, the upper body resembling a tight-fitting shirt with astonishing defensive power, capable of withstanding small cannon fire, hand grenades, and tank bombings.

The lower part was odd, reminiscent of a shrunken centipede's bottom half with the head cut off. It featured two holes to slip the legs into.

If worn, one would look like a centipede standing upright.

A human body with a centipede's tail?

"I can understand a human body with a snake tail, but a human body with a centipede tail..." Zhang Manman commented that the centipede outfit was very flamboyant, something you could even wear at a comic convention for cosplay.

The second item consisted of small golden beads that resembled pearls.

Counting them, there were a total of one hundred and eight.

[Spinal Pearls: The inner cores of the centipede. Since the centipede had one hundred and eight segments, it also had one hundred and eight inner cores. Each core can provide humans with a substantial amount of nutrition, similar to Fasting Pills.

Note: If the 'Mental Realm' is not well-developed and the body cannot digest them, they will be excreted along with other food residues, consuming them will be in vain.]

After securing the one hundred and eight spinal beads close to his body, Su Jie took out the centipede suit and dressed his upper body in it, putting on the headband with two feelers, and finally adjusted the lower part of the centipede suit. With a hop, he slipped into the two holes.

Instantly, the three pieces of "clothing" emitted a pale white light, as if they completely fused with Su Jie's skin.

Especially at the legs, Su Jie felt as if his thighs were connected to the lower part of the centipede suit and couldn't move, but the many long legs of the centipede's lower body moved freely.

If he started to run, the speed would far surpass the extreme speed of his own legs, and it was also very flexible!

This was the racial talent of the centipede!

"Su Jie, I have no doubt now that you are a centipede incarnate!" Zhang Manman exclaimed in amazement as she watched Su Jie make a round trip around the rim of the Ice Fire Mountain crater, which was about one thousand five hundred meters in diameter, in just thirty seconds.

"Say, has this thing completely merged with your body?"

"Can it be separated?"

Su Jie nodded, his mind moved, and the connection between his legs and the lower body broke off, the bodysuit on his body and the headband on his head loosened and detached from the human body, ready to be taken off.

After getting out of the lower body, Su Jie said, "The main function of the upper body's bodysuit should be to connect the headband and the lower body."

"The lower body's centipede suit, on the other hand, combines with a human's thighs, giving a feeling of being one with the body, as you have seen, the running speed and agility are far beyond human legs."

"And this headband with two centipede feelers can connect to the brain, providing sharper senses, allowing one to sense the flow of air, humidity, dryness. Yet, its principal function is to sharpen one's senses even further, like adding two antennas that can receive more signals from the air."

"Just from that one lap, I have already pinpointed the locations of all surviving people on the island using this centipede headband."

The four classmates were astounded.

They could only be astounded.

They had no share in such precious resources.

"Zhang Manman, why don't you wear the centipede suit?" Su Jie suggested.

"That's fine."

Zhang Manman furrowed her brows and thought for a while before finally agreeing. ThisversionissourcedfromMV3L3MPYR.

Although she didn't hate insects, she was still slightly repulsed by such multi-legged arthropods...

Once dressed, Zhang Manman felt as if she had many legs, each one freely controllable, with none of the staggering of a learning toddler.

That's also a trait of most animals, able to stand and walk from birth.

In this state, Zhang Manman did have a peculiar beauty about her, with an enchanting upper body and a fierce lower half, a true combination of angel and demon.

"Not bad."

Zhang Manman twisted her body, and the two feelers on her head moved as well, as if sensing the information in the air.

"With this centipede suit, my vitality has temporarily reached 4. This boost is a bit exaggerated; could this be the true essence of that centipede?"

"Hmm?"

"Someone's coming."

As she was talking, Zhang Manman suddenly switched topics, scanning her surroundings and detecting the presence of many people—about twenty or so—closing in.

Counting the four classmates standing beside Su Jie, nearly all the remaining survivors had come.

"Good, it saves us the trouble of looking for them."

Zhang Manman's centipede lower body moved in a wave-like pattern as she ran down the mountain, apparently planning to eliminate the other players.

"Class monitor, aren't you going to help?" a classmate asked in confusion.

Su Jie smiled, "The current Zhang Manman is more than capable of dealing with those people... I'm waiting for the last 'airdrop'."

"Oh."

The four classmates thought about it and decided it was pointless to stay here, so they too decided to go down the mountain to intercept the other players.

Su Jie didn't stop them.

However, just when the last airdrop was about to arrive, a roast chicken suddenly descended from the sky.

The game was over!

"Huh? Why?"

Su Jie was initially startled, then quickly remembered that in 'game of survival chicken', as soon as the players from other teams were eliminated, the game would naturally end.

Damn!

The last "airdrop" was out of reach.

Su Jie immediately contacted Zhang Manman, telling her not to wait for the Phantom Realm to transport to the Supreme Cup plaza but to log out directly and return to the small conference room in the library.

After all, the centipede suit could easily be recognized by others—

In the conference room.

Su Jie opened his eyes, sensing the thirty-six sword pellets inside his body, he breathed a sigh of relief, but the situation with Zhang Manman was a bit special—the centipede suit had appeared directly on his body!

"Oh-my-god!!!" Jos covered his mouth, his entire being like a startled wild animal, leaping back a large step and leaning against the wall!

This was too exaggerated!

"Jos, don't panic, this is the second 'airdrop' item, the centipede body armor," Su Jie explained to the startled Jos.

"I see!"

Jos then came to his senses, watched Zhang Manman remove the centipede suit, pulled his chair back up, and sat down once more, but he still kept his eyes on the centipede suit.
