ARTHUR- REBORN LEGEND OF DOULUO

"Wh-what?! Why do you look exactly like me?!" Art exclaimed in shock, his eyes wide.

"Of course! I integrated a part of your soul when this simulation system awakened... and thus, I was created!" The voice remained calm, unhurried.

"So... you're saying you're me, but only exist in my subconscious?!" Art frowned, still doubtful.

"Well, you could say that. Now that you understand, can you make your subconscious space more comfortable for simulations?"

"Of course! But speaking of which... what exactly can this simulation system do?! So I can optimize it! And how do I change the appearance of my subconscious—or is it now this system's space?!"

"My sole ability is to simulate the powers you'll gain after absorbing spirit rings—whether before or after obtaining them!"

"So... this system only compares my strength before and after getting a spirit ring?! " Arthur stared intently, trying to process the explanation.

"Correct!" the system affirmed. "I don't grant you new powers. I only unlock the potential you've absorbed from the spirit rings!"

Arthur nodded slowly, then suddenly perked up. "Then... show me the changes after I obtain the 'Moonlight Vine' Spirit Ring!"

According to the books, it's just an ordinary spirit plant... but to me, it feels extraordinary! Arthur thought to himself.

SWOOSH!

A holographic screen appeared, splitting into two with a shimmering effect:

---

### 🔹 BEFORE (Level 10)

- Physical Strength : 9 (Can smash small trees!)

- Speed : 4 (As fast as a cat!)

- Healing: 1 (Only minor scratches...)

### 🔹 AFTER (Level 12 – +2 Levels!)

- Physical Strength: 11 (Can smash small trees!)

- Speed: 4 (No change!)

- Healing: 5 (Can heal minor internal injuries)

- Ring Effect Yellow 100-500 years: "Moonlight Surge" → Each strike can either heal the target (if Arthur wills it) or inflict deeper wounds with lunar energy

"So now... I can choose whether my punches heal or destroy?!" Arthur clenched his fist, feeling warm energy coursing through his muscles.

"Exactly!" the system replied cheerfully. "But remember, the effect depends on your level. Right now, you're in a simulation based on baseline stats—your actual spirit power is only Level 6, but here you're at Level 10! Oh, and to get a second spirit ring, you'll need the first one!"

Arthur let out a long sigh. "Meaning... I have to train hard before I can even get a spirit ring?!"

"Yep! And the second spirit ring can only be absorbed at Level 20!" the system added excitedly. "But don't worry—each spirit ring can boost you by 1 to 3 levels, depending on your soul affinity!"

Arthur narrowed his eyes. "Soul affinity?!"

"Yup! Every spirit ring has different attributes. If it matches your 'Wuhun Soul,' you'll get a huge boost! If not... maybe just +1 level. Bummer, right?!"

Arthur nodded slowly, then suddenly declared, "So right now, I need to train to Level 10, then hunt for my first spirit ring?!"

The system grinned widely. "Or... you could test your new power right now. Wanna try?!"

SWOOSH—!

The white room instantly transformed into a moonlit forest, bathed in an ethereal glow. Before Arthur stood a giant spirit wolf, its crimson eyes burning like embers!

"Go on, test your strength! Strike it—heal or destroy? The choice is yours!"

Arthur took a deep breath, then stepped forward, ready for battle!
