Villain Simulation: At the Beginning, My Supreme Emperor Bone Was Taken

Chapter 4: The Second Villain Simulation — Kill the Destiny-Bound Protagonist Right From the Start:

Lu Qian didn’t hesitate much when facing the five reward options provided by the Villain Simulator.

The first option, Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture, 3rd stage Profound Comprehension Realm, was enough to elevate him from an ordinary person to a true cultivator with extraordinary power.

While this still didn’t compare to the monstrous prodigies of the Great Xia Empire’s capital, it was on par with—if not stronger than—most other young talents.

With the 3rd stage Profound Comprehension Realm, he now possessed mysterious supernatural power. Normal firearms would be completely useless against him. With the aid of powerful techniques and martial skills, he could easily annihilate a fully armed gang.

Even within the imperial system, he could be assigned an official post and granted special privileges.

In a small, remote city, ruling as a king wouldn’t be impossible.

Now that he was entangled in a deadly trap and surrounded by dangers plotted by a hidden mastermind, he needed power that truly belonged to him.

The second reward—Awakening the Supreme Emperor Bone—was even more crucial.

Without awakening it and breaking the curse, any spiritual energy he cultivated would continue to collapse rapidly. His cultivation would regress and eventually vanish, turning him back into a powerless mortal.

Without this reward, even the strength of the third realm from the first option would fade within a few hours.

Thus, the two options were a set—absolutely essential.

As for the remaining three—

The fourth option—A big, leafy green hat (Ye Chen)—could be skipped entirely. That sort of thing was only appealing to destiny-bound men with peculiar preferences. He wasn’t interested.

Now, if he were the one making others wear it, maybe that’d be different.

The third reward—Oiled Feet, the blue-grade talent—had already shown its value in the first simulation. It was the perfect escape ability.

Even Ye Chen, who had reached the 4th stage Divine Ability Realm, couldn’t catch up with him, and even the hidden mastermind had been temporarily shaken off, unable to locate him.

Eventually, the mastermind had to set a trap and wait for him to come out before killing him.

This temporary blue-grade talent was clearly powerful. Making it permanent would definitely be beneficial for future simulations.

The fifth option—A portion of Liu Ruyue’s fate energy (Lasts 3 days)—wasn’t bad either, but the first simulation had already made it clear to Lu Qian: fate was still an external force.

While it could help avoid danger or predict threats, it wasn’t all-powerful.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have died in the first simulation.

And besides, that reward could be replicated in later simulations.

By comparison, Oiled Feet had appeared as a one-time reward from the first simulation. If he didn’t claim it now, it’d be gone forever.

BOOM!

As soon as Lu Qian made his three selections, a terrifying power from the Villain Simulator erupted.

To his shock, a “River of Time” suddenly pierced through dimensions and appeared before him, replaying the events from his first simulated life.

Very soon, a grotesque corpse with its spine ripped out appeared before him.

The face of the corpse was identical to his own.

But on this body lay five glowing fruits, each radiating a different light.

Whoosh!

Three of the glowing fruits suddenly flew toward him.

The power of the 3rd level Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture surged into his body.

ROAR!

In his mind, the roars of ancient dragon-elephants thundered. His previously slender frame instantly swelled with muscle, as if ancient beasts were awakening within him.

In that instant, he possessed the strength of ten elephants, able to tear through steel and concrete with ease, immune to blades and bullets, like a walking beast in human form.

Right now, he felt like he could blow up a tank with a single punch.

The Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture, an upper-class Heaven and Man-grade technique passed down in the Lu family, focused more on physical strength than refining spiritual energy.

But even so, compared to the awakened Supreme Emperor Bone in his spine, the so-called strength of ten elephants seemed insignificant.

As the Supreme Emperor Bone awakened, ghostly wails echoed in his mind—just like in the first simulation.

Even the dragon-elephant roars inside his body went quiet, submitting to an unseen supreme force—like they were kneeling before a ruler who reigned over all of heaven and earth.

In that moment, all traces of cultivation on Lu Qian’s body were suppressed and hidden completely.

The protector in the front seat, Lu Zhong, seemed to notice something. He glanced in the rearview mirror and locked eyes with Lu Qian’s cold, domineering gaze.

A wave of bloodline-level suppression shook him to his core. His body trembled involuntarily, and he quickly looked away, not daring to make eye contact.

“What terrifying eyes… Even the Patriarch has never given me this kind of pressure. Lu Qian is supposed to be a pampered, non-cultivating young master, yet in this moment, his presence feels even more terrifying than those old Heaven and Man Realm Realm elders…”

“How is this possible…?”

Lu Zhong’s face was full of disbelief.

His previous disdain for Lu Qian—a second young master long considered a useless playboy—completely vanished, replaced by an inexplicable sense of awe.

It seemed the so-called pampered young master of the Lu family was far from ordinary.

Seeing that even a 7th stage Saint Entry Realm cultivator like Lu Zhong was suppressed by the Supreme Emperor Bone’s aura, Lu Qian couldn’t help but feel his blood surge with pride.

This was what he had always wanted!

[Host: Lu Qian]

[Age: Eighteen]

[Realm: Profound Comprehension Realm]

[Technique: Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture, 3rd level Heaven and Man Technique]

[Physique: Supreme Emperor Bone (???)]

[Talent: Oiled Feet (Blue)]

[Simulation Count: 2]

[Villain Points: 0]

As soon as the rewards were received, the River of Time and the corpse vanished.

Lu Qian lowered his gaze to the panel displayed by the Villain Simulator and gained a deeper understanding of what the Supreme Emperor Bone truly was.

Clearly, he hadn’t even begun to unlock its full potential.

It had only been five minutes since the end of the first simulation.

The death trap hadn’t triggered yet—there was still time.

“It’s time for the second simulation. This time, I’ll uncover the mastermind behind my death. And while I’m at it, maybe I’ll squeeze something useful out of Ye Chen, that destiny-bound protagonist. I can also test how deep the waters of this world really run.”

“Villain Simulator, initiate second simulation.”

A cold gleam flashed in Lu Qian’s eyes.

[Ding! Beginning the second villain life simulation.]

[No villain points detected. Skipping talent draw. Simulation begins.]

[You are the second young master of the Lu family. Due to events in the capital of the Great Xia Empire…]

[Because of your first simulation’s failure, you’ve become far more cautious. This time, you don’t get out of the car to pick up Liu Ruyue. Instead, you stay seated and silently wait.]

[Soon, an hour passes. Ye Chen appears in the distance, visibly anxious. He seems extremely worried about Liu Ruyue. As he rushes forward, he spots Liu Ruyue nearby—and your Maybach parked up ahead.]

[As soon as your target appears, the corners of your lips curl into a faint smirk. You calmly give the order to Lu Zhong, the 7th stage Saint Entry Realm protector: kill Ye Chen on the spot. No need to capture him alive. Snap his neck.]
