BTTH: Breaking The Simulation

[First Year: You stayed in the Divine Eagle Canyon for over half a year. You and Huang Rong ate several Bosiju snake gallbladders every day, greatly enhancing your strength and inner energy. Under the guidance of the Divine Eagle, you mastered Dugu Qiubai's Heavy Sword Technique. Meanwhile, Huang Rong, under the same guidance, learned the Dugu Nine Swords, which is more suitable for intelligent people to train in. Once you realised that consuming more Bosiju snake gallbladders wasn't providing any significant improvement to your strength, you said goodbye to the Divine Eagle. You returned to Peach Blossom Island with Huang Rong. Upon arrival, Huang Yaoshi saw Huang Rong's now large belly. Unable to hold back, he beat you up and locked you in with Zhou Botong.]

[Second Year: You and Huang Rong's children were born — a rare set of dragon-phoenix twins. Huang Yaoshi was delighted, but he still wasn't happy with you, the "blond intruder."

It wasn't until you tricked Zhou Botong into giving you a copy of the Nine Yin Manual that Huang Yaoshi reluctantly accepted you as his son-in-law.]

[Fifteenth Year: Your fifth child with Huang Rong was born. From Huang Yaoshi, you learned that the world outside was in chaos. Since you are a time traveller and know that no individual can stop the collapse of a dynasty, you had no interest in saving the world and continued your peaceful life of seclusion.]

[Nineteenth Year: Your eldest son and daughter made quite a name for themselves in the martial world. They were known as the 'Twin Immortals of Peach Blossom' and sometimes referred to as the 'Young Eastern Demons.'

Twentieth Year: Your first grandson was born. You were thrilled and wanted to name him Xiao Yan, but Huang Yaoshi vetoed it, insisting on naming his great-grandson Xiao Changsheng. Under Huang Rong's persuasion, you reluctantly agreed to let the old man have the naming rights.]

[Eighty-Seventh Year: Huang Rong passed away peacefully. You felt like your heart died with her. You sat in front of her spirit tablet for three days, reminiscing about your life together. In the end, you chose to end your life by severing your heart veins.]

"Sigh…"

Xiao Feng couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the simulation panel. "What is love in this world, that makes life and death so bound to it?"

[Simulation Ends!]

[Drawing Simulation Rewards. Of the following ten options, purchase the desired rewards, and one will be randomly selected.]

"Huh?"

Xiao Feng's eyes showed a hint of surprise: "The Ambidextrous Technique is more expensive than the Dugu Nine Swords?"

Although Xiao Feng found it strange, he still spent over 7000 merit points to buy the relatively cheaper rewards and used his free draw to win [Zhou Botong's Ambidextrous Technique Experience].

Xiao Feng obtained four skill orbs in total. Apart from the Dragon-Subduing Palm, which he had already mastered, the other three skills intrigued him.

"Whoosh!"

With a single thought, the green orb representing [Huang Yaoshi's 'Jade Sea Tide Song' Experience] instantly turned into green light and entered his mind.

The 'Jade Sea Tide Song' was a sonic martial art created by Huang Yaoshi by imitating the sound of ocean waves.

Though it mimics the sound of the waves on the surface, it secretly contains lethal force. The melody is capricious, intricate, and subtle.

If heard without preparation, it can make one lose control, waving their arms and scratching their face, or even inducing confusion and romantic thoughts.

Through the system's optimization, the 'Jade Sea Tide Song' was upgraded into a mid-tier Xuan-grade sonic battle skill.

As Xiao Feng absorbed these memories, he not only mastered the perfected form of the Jade Sea Tide Song but also acquired advanced flute-playing skills.

The destructive power of the Jade Sea Tide Song wasn't as direct as the Dragon-Subduing Palm, but it was perfect for dealing with minor enemies.

Most importantly, using the Jade Sea Tide Song to fight looked elegant, perfect for showing off!

Xiao Feng took out a few white jade bottles from his storage ring and summoned a fiery dragon, wrapping them in flame.

"Sizzle…"

Under the burning of the dragon flame, the white jade bottles melted rapidly and finally turned into a pool of white liquid.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng calmly manipulated his fighting energy to cool and reshape the liquid into a white jade flute, intricately carved with dragon patterns.

After playing with the flute for a while, Xiao Feng suppressed the urge to play a tune and turned his attention to the orb representing [Dugu Nine Swords].

"Use!"

As he mentally commanded, the orb fused into his mind.

Xiao Feng's mind was filled with memories of Huang Rong practicing the Dugu Nine Swords.

The Dugu Nine Swords, created by the "Sword Demon" Dugu Qiubai, was not an ordinary sword technique but a martial theory. Only those with high comprehension could learn it.

The Dugu Nine Swords had no fixed moves. Its essence was defeating moves with none, predicting the enemy's actions!

Simply put, the reason ordinary people couldn't learn it wasn't because of its difficulty but because their minds couldn't keep up with its approach to countering moves.

It's like how an average person needs to work out math problems on scratch paper, while a brilliant person immediately knows the answer upon seeing the question. That's the difference between the two.

After mastering the Dugu Nine Swords, Xiao Feng realized his understanding of the Jingni Sword Technique had also reached new heights.

Although the power of the Jingni Sword Technique hadn't increased, he could now seamlessly combine its moves and use them effortlessly, even those that would normally conflict.

If it came down to a pure swordsmanship battle, Xiao Feng was confident he could defeat his past self, who hadn't learned the Dugu Nine Swords, in just three moves.
