Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

The lizard-man looked at the severed arm at his feet, his vertical pupils gleaming with a cold, piercing light.

"Feibao Flying Sword?"

"The sword's name is Qingping."

Su Jie shook the Qingping Sword, scattering light from the blade, yet it remained focused, encircling the lizard-man.

Watching the engulfing sword light, the lizard-man dodged left and right, avoiding all attacks, and leaped back atop the rockery after momentarily flying through the air.

"Not bad."

At the site of the severed limb, muscles and blood vessels writhed, and a new arm grew out, initially white with a sickening slime but soon turned into dark green, appearing fresher than the scales on the rest of its body.

"Your strength mainly relies on that flying sword, doesn't it?"

"Dare to fight barehanded?"

Su Jie glanced at the severed arm on the ground and then at the newly regenerated limb of his opponent, thinking, 'This creature's recovery ability is extremely strong, but it must have its costs. Moreover, this creature's fighting style is incredibly wild, truly like a lizard, grabbing, pouncing, biting, sweeping. It's no longer human but a cold-blooded animal.'

Without response, Su Jie lightly stepped forward, thrusting the Qingping Sword in his hand towards his opponent.

At the same time, his mental power burst forth, like a cockerel crowing skyward, wings spread, ostentatious in its display, the sword beak striking downward combined with the Qingping Sword, as if it could penetrate anything.

"Ko-ko!"

The lizard-man seemed to hear the crowing, even imagining a scenario of a rooster crowing at dawn atop a mountain peak in the depths of its eyes.

Thwack!

The Qingping Sword instantly pierced through its heart and shattered it.

Boom!

The lizard-man fell atop the rockery, while Su Jie also retreated to the side of Zhang Manman and the others.

Instant kill!

Jos exclaimed, "Su Jie, you actually defeated someone with a vitality of 10, that's amazing."

Unmoved, Su Jie said solemnly, "His mental realm was very low, hence he had no power to resist me, but his body modification offered him strong vitality, making him not so easy to kill."

The lizard-man had only fallen, not turned into a box.

This indicated one thing: he wasn't dead yet.

It's just that the lizard-man may have forgotten something—this is a game.

Playing dead.

In nature, this skill is not uncommon, but in this game, playing dead is equivalent to bluntly telling other players that one is pretending to be dead, like considering all the other players fools.

Of course, this Wang Chen might not be so foolish, but after turning into a lizard-man, his thinking was influenced by instinct, leading to such a choice.

Body and will can influence each other.

Humans have wisdom because they possess imagination, the ability to break free from low-level interests, which is to shake off the influence of bodily instincts and engage in deeper levels of thinking.

Beasts do not do this; all their actions are based on instinctual genes.

The lizard-man was precisely like this.

"You shattered his heart, and he can still live?" Zhang Manman frowned, "If our physical bodies here evolve with the mind and are no different from the outside world, doesn't that mean, in the outside world, this person's vitality would be as tenacious too?"

```

"The recovery strength should be a bit weaker," Su Jie said slowly, "There's no pseudo-spiritual energy outside... Although Spiritual Energy couldn't be absorbed before fetal breath either, the mere existence of pseudo-spiritual energy still strengthens its recovery ability a bit."

"However, for us, although this guy has high vitality and strong recovery ability, he has ultimately lost intelligence and become a beast."

"Not worth fearing."

Just like the various animals in nature, there are many creatures with stronger vitality than humans, but before the concepts of vitality and Mental Realm practice emerged, humans still dominated.

Why?

Because without intelligence, without imagination, no matter how strong the vitality, they don't know how to utilize it; they can only act based on genetic instincts.

Perhaps they also have simple thoughts, but compared to humans, it is far from enough.

This is also why Su Jie could so easily crush the lizard-man's heart—Wang Chen had become a lizard that acted only on instinct.

Although he is very dangerous to most ordinary people, to any student of Ming Lun, he's just a somewhat difficult beast.

And the fact that this guy made it to the final round, Su Jie guessed, is because he had been hiding his abilities in the previous matches, then waited for the end to kill with one strike, truly an old coin.

This exposure may be due to the inability to resist the temptation emanating from Chen Tian Yuzi in the high skies.

Angel's wings brought about an essential evolution of life to Chen Tian Yuzi, a very advanced form of energy, which almost all surviving players desire, but almost all have resisted.

Only Wang Chen couldn't resist it.

The transformation of his body made him unable to resist that kind of temptation; he could only think about how to obtain that high-purity energy for his own evolution.

Humans have both animalistic and human natures.

In most cases, human nature dominates animalistic nature, only under the condition of losing control of emotions does animalistic nature lead, with anger being the most common scenario.

In anger, humans are prone to drastic actions.

For unintelligent beasts, unless they are naturally gentle, they are irritable upon provocation. Help us out by re.a#d%i!n&g on M|V.|LE.M+5@P%YR#.

Therefore, after Wang Chen turned into a lizard-man, his animalistic nature had already dominated his human nature, with the only remaining features probably being human memories and simple logic.

Jos pulled out a cleaver, "So, shall we finish him off with another blow?"

"Can't do it."

Su Jie frowned deeply, "When I crushed his heart and saw that he didn't turn into a box, I wanted to crush his whole body, but I was blocked by a strange, invisible energy. It's probably some kind of protection mechanism he has, or maybe some peculiar equipment."

Zhang Manman frowned deeply, "Are we just going to wait for him to recover? But once he recovers, even if we kill him again, he'll likely resurrect; he's not easy to deal with."

Jos shrugged, "Someone who can make it to the final round, none of them are easy to deal with... But now I understand why this guy could make it to the final."

With such an ability—even in a severely wounded, death-feigned state, unable to be finished off—who could kill him?

Unless you destroy his entire body in a flash.

"No matter how unique this guy's recovery powers are, he's still a carbon-based organism, a vertebrate," Zhang Manman thought for a moment, "What about crushing his head next time?"

For vertebrates, the brain is the control center of the body, and smashing it means death beyond doubt.

"Worth a try."

Su Jie had also thought of this.

For vertebrates, although the whole body has weak points, the brain is the fundamental control center; destroying it ends everything.

And at this time, the lizard-man had entered a state of half-awake...
