Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"Moreover, the existence of a thought-body is equivalent to having an extra life. Even if your physical body is destroyed, your spiritual power can persist and even seize another body to be reborn."

"Of course, we at Ming Lun won't allow such behavior to occur. The Taixu Illusory Realm covers the globe, and seizing bodies under our watch has no chance of success."

After understanding the role of the Crystal Heart, Zhang Manman's interest was piqued.

As for seizing bodies, she was unmoved.

But the idea of enhancing the progress of her Crystal Visualization Skill and being able to project her spiritual power to form a thought-body was indeed tempting!

Su Jie also saw that the Crystal Heart was quite suitable for Zhang Manman, but the two trials proposed by Zhao were not easy to pass.

The first choice was to provide a business plan, which seemed simple, but making up a plan that would grow and strengthen a small company just through talk was a joke.

And the second choice...

Was like using an egg to hit a rock.

They only knew that Teacher Zhao Xinglong was at the Stable Realm, with a life force 20 times that of an ordinary person, comparable to the existence of those in the Embryonic Breathing Realm.

But what weapon Zhao Xinglong used, what his signature moves were, they had no idea.

Though the official data stated: Eight Extremes Fist, Eight Extremes Thunder Fist, Taixu Thunder Seal, and so on.

But it definitely wasn't just these.

There might be various magical artifacts.

Moreover, knowing was one thing, actually facing the deadly moves was another matter altogether. This chapter first appeared on M|V|L^EMPYR.

If Zhao Xinglong went all out, Su Jie estimated he wouldn't last a minute.

After all, this was a game of illusion, and Zhao Xinglong didn't need to hold back his strength.

Jos was a bit indignant, "Instructor Zhao, isn't this bullying?"

"It's completely unfair!"

Neither of the two choices offered a viable path.

"This isn't bullying," Zhao Xinglong patiently explained, "and do you think the Supreme Cup is fair?"

"The players aren't reduced to the same level, but can enter with their external strengths... Is this fair?"

"Fairness is relative."

"The capable rise to the top, the mediocre fall below, it has been an unchanging truth since ancient times."

"We at Ming Lun have established corresponding rules to ensure fairness."

"Within the entire Jiangnan City, within the range controlled by Ming Lun, seeking redress doesn't cost any chips."

"And this, after all, is just a game."

Zhao Xinglong spoke like a teacher, leaving Jos speechless.

Why was the instructor saying so much?

He was just complaining in hopes that the other side would lower the difficulty.

Su Jie certainly understood the reasons.

Because this was a game, a competition, they needed to create conflict.

Allowing players to enter with their external strength might seem unfair to ordinary players.

But for players with high life energy to be on the same starting line as ordinary players, being severely injured by an unsuspecting gaming skill of an ordinary player – is that fair?

So, fairness is relative!

In the outside world, within the domain controlled by Ming Lun, perfect fairness can be achieved based on existing social norms.

But in the game, fairness is in the eye of the beholder.

Moreover, in any society, the principle of the capable rising and the mediocre falling has always been a law.

Just that, in this era, dignity and personality are considered equal.

And only these are equal.

In a sense, Zhao Xinglong was indeed giving a lesson to Su Jie and the others.

After all, he was a teacher.

"Then, Teacher Zhao, we will take our leave now," Zhang Manman proactively suggested to give up.

The Crystal Heart was precious, but it was only of significant use to someone like her who specialized in the Crystal Visualization Skill.

She definitely couldn't hold out by herself and absolutely couldn't ask Su Jie and the others to join the fight for her.

Therefore, it was better to forfeit and conserve strength.

At least in doing so, the chance to compete for the championship would be greater.

"That's fine," Zhao Xinglong responded with neither sadness nor joy, just calmly nodding, "There's nothing difficult in the world for those who are willing to give up."

Zhang Manman: "..."

She wasn't giving up, it was a strategic retreat.

"Teacher Zhao Xinglong, I want to give it a try," Su Jie suddenly said.

"Su Jie!"

Zhang Manman didn't want Su Jie to waste time and energy at this moment.

What was more important, if he got injured, he couldn't recover for real!

It was too dangerous!

"You don't need to worry, this isn't for you, but I want to see Teacher Zhao's full strength," Su Jie said straightforwardly, "I want to know the gap between myself and Teacher Zhao."

"The young people today sure are confident," Zhao Xinglong slowly rose, seeming like a massive cloud of darkness, bearing down like a mountain-crushing cloud, with the faint sound of thunder in the distance.

"But, I like it!"

Boom!

No sooner had his words fallen, than the entire building exploded under the pressure of Zhao Xinglong's aura, instantly turning to dust that filled the sky, only to be pressed down to the ground by an invisible force.

What was more astonishing was that Su Jie and the others weren't hurt at all.

Clearly, Zhao Xinglong had impeccable control over his power and presence, a mastery so refined and profound that it reached the pinnacle.

"Is this Teacher Zhao's full strength?" Chen Tian Yuzi muttered, "No! Just his presence alone has achieved such an extent!"

Jos gaped, "Like a god, like a demon!"

Keep in mind, this was a real environment, no different from the outside world!

That meant Zhao Xinglong could exert such immense power in the real world as well.

This was what it meant to be Transcendent!

Zhang Manman surveyed the collapsed buildings around her, which had conveniently formed a circle with a radius of a hundred meters, and her expression changed once again.

This indicated that they were trapped within, with no other options available.

And naturally, the nearby players noticed the commotion.

They rushed over, concealing themselves around the perimeter.
