"What's this?"
Abbe's eyes widened when he saw Arthur, who was emitting a faint glow in the broken church.
"This guy is close to energy level two!"
Abbe turned around and wanted to run.
Last night's robbery made him assume the other party he stole from had hired strong people to kill him. Every time he encountered someone strong, he'd immediately run.
This fear, accompanied by the pleasure of sin, put him in a nervous state.
But just as he turned around, he stopped.
This guy in front of him seems like the other party didn't hire him. Moreover, he appeared to be occupied digesting some sort of medicinal power.
Based on his speculation, there's no way that guy will attack him.
"Phew!"
He heaved a sigh of relief and was about to leave the place.
After all, the man was a transcendent who was about to enter energy level two. Once he successfully advanced, he wasn't someone Abbe could afford to offend.
Now, it was better to leave quickly.
However, just as he was about to call his men to leave, a blazing light made him turn around again!
The sword beside the man who was in the midst of breaking through suddenly bloomed with light.
This color.
Even though he had never seen it before, he knew that it was the symbol of a treasure!
The sword in front of that guy was an unimaginable treasure!
If he could get it, he wouldn't just break through to energy level two like this person. Instead, it was possible he would enter a higher energy level and be conferred a Baron, Viscount, or even Count by the empire!
At the thought of this, Abbe's eyes became bloodthirsty and cruel again.
This young man clearly still needed a very long time to digest that unknown power.
While doing this, he would have no strength to resist at all. As long as Abbe killed him, all of this would belong to Abbe!
"Kill him!" Abbe picked up his dagger and called out to his subordinates.
They were all people who licked the blood on the tip of their blades. They weren't frightened by the magical scene in front of them.
The bandit gang tightened the grip on their daggers and lowered their voices as they approached Arthur.
However, just as they were about to reach him, the sword suddenly flew up!
The young man, who had just broken through, opened his eyes!
Stab!
The sound of the sword cutting through the wind rang out.
One by one, each bandit's head was slashed off. The speed was like thunder, and they had no time to react.
Lu Yu absorbed the blood from the bandits.
He could feel that he had slightly strengthened.
Abbe looked at his blood in a daze and muttered, "Was I too greedy?"
After saying that, he fell down. Along with his men, they turned into dried-up corpses.
A few boxes appeared before Lu Yu's eyes.
[Killed an energy level one transcendent, points +20]
[Killed bandits, points +10]
[Killed bandits that killed a rich merchant's family, points +10]
[...]
A series of entries appeared, and Lu Yu discovered that his points had already reached a hundred. Additionally, he had reached the requirements for the next simulation.
He had already noticed the bandits the moment they appeared. He discovered that his perception range reached more than a hundred meters as a weapon. Due to that, he could hear everything those bandits were saying.
When he heard that these thieves were still smug after doing such outrageous things, he had already been filled with killing intent.
Since the other party had approached him, Lu Yu didn't mind taking the blood from their bodies.
Furthermore, these people provided him with a lot of points. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone.
Arthur, who had killed the bandits using Lu Yu, also felt their bloodthirsty aura.
Such aura had appeared before on Baron Spencer, who had murdered Arthur's family members, and on a poor man who had slaughtered several villagers.
Arthur didn't know what these bandits had done, but it was certainly nothing good.
After killing the men, he squatted down. He searched through the mummified bodies to see if he could find anything.
He was stunned by what he found.
There were many gold notes, which all accumulated to more than 9000 gold coins!
At the same time, Arthur also saw through the identity of these bandits and the things they had done.
As for Lu Yu, he chose to start a life simulation after his points had reached over a hundred.
[Life Simulation activated]
[Year 1: You were dug out of the secret realm by Baron Grant, but because of your ugly appearance, you were of little use. You were thrown in the smithery shop's warehouse for a year, and no one asked about you.]
[Year 2: One day, Baron Grant said he wanted to put you in the furnace for reforging. You panicked and suddenly advanced.]
[Arthur, a magic apprentice whose family was exterminated by an influential person, chose you because he was short of money. He drew a blood-drawing formation on your body and took you for revenge.]
[With your help, Arthur quickly achieved energy level two.]
[Year 3: You killed everything while in Arthur's hands and absorbed blood to live. As you grew rapidly, you successfully advanced to an intermediate magic tool!]
[Year 4: Arthur, whose strength had reached energy level three, used you to wipe out the entire Spencer family. After that, his name shook the nearby territory of the Canglan Empire.]
[Year 5: Arthur successfully advanced and became an energy level four transcendent. He added all kinds of ores to you and upgraded you into a flawless intermediate magic tool.]
[Year 6: As you killed more and more people, you continuously used [Blood-Drawing]. The demonic nature in your body gradually deepened. As the wielder, Arthur inherited your demonic nature, causing his personality to change. He offended many people.]
[Year 7: Enemies came to Arthur's door. Arthur relied on his strength and your power to defeat them.]
[Year 8: After this year, you understood more regarding your demonic nature and helped Arthur suppress his demonic nature. Due to this, the speed of your advancement slowed down.]
[Year 9: Arthur had been unable to break through because he needed to suppress his demonic nature. Alas, he could only be at the peak of energy level four. As you obtained many rare materials and devoured blood from enemies, you obtained a new skill– [Dream].]
[Year 10: Arthur couldn't break through, but he'd become a famous powerhouse at the Canglan Empire's border from his battles over the years. Arthur felt an opportunity to break through was near.]
[Year 11: Arthur was challenged by an energy level four transcendent. He defeated the other party with your help but was seriously injured. Due to that, the opportunity for a breakthrough disappeared.]
[Year 12: Arthur rested for a year. His injuries recovered thanks to his demonic nature, but his strength declined.]
[Year 13: Arthur could no longer sit still and took you to the secret realm. It was said there was a way for him to break through to energy level five. You both encountered two transcendent creatures five levels lower than you in the secret realm. In the end, you and Arthur were both killed by the creatures.]
[Life Simulation completed. Current score: Grade C. You will inherit part of the abilities from the Life Simulation, and you will receive a talent!]
[The grades are SS, S, A, B, C, D.]
[Inheritance 1: A precious item from the Life Simulation.]
[Inheritance 2: The grade and rank you achieved from the Life Simulation.]
[Inheritance 3: A memory fragment from the Life Simulation.]
