"Enough, enough already." He Yu scratched his head excitedly.

After displaying the gains, a prompt from the Simulator appeared:

[All obtained items can be fully inherited]

[Please select one of the following options to confirm inheritance]

[1. Inherit immediately]

[2. Inherit right now]

He Yu stared at the two options, dumbfounded: "Are you kidding me? What's the fucking difference?"

Finally, He Yu randomly selected one with his eyes closed.

Boom—

True qi violently surged into He Yu's body.

The massive true qi of early-stage Marrow Washing flowed through He Yu's limbs and bones.

All the power cultivated during the simulation returned to He Yu.

"Fuck yes!!"

He Yu was ecstatic.

He instantly transformed from an ordinary person to a Marrow Washing martial artist.

The speed was dizzyingly fast.

Beyond his cultivation, all martial skills, items, and talents were also inherited.

The items were stored in the simulation space.

Now it was time to deal with the twisted family of the Golden Saber Martial Arts School.

He Yu also needed to figure out what intricate connections existed between Duan Qian, Prefect of Danzhou, and the Golden Saber Martial Arts School.

To discover what hidden treasures this ordinary martial arts school possessed that could make Duan Qian so concerned.

He Yu's eyes gleamed with sharp intensity.

A cold glint flashed in his right hand as the Soul Awakening Blade slid into his grip.

"Golden Saber Martial Arts School, huh? Messing with me is like kicking vibranium!"

Without waiting for Wang Yuanyi to come, He Yu headed straight for Wang Yulin's courtyard.

From the previous simulation, He Yu knew both Wang Yuanyi and Wang Yulin were currently in the courtyard.

He Yu activated his movement technique, leaving afterimages in his wake.

Not bothering to conceal his power, He Yu's overwhelming true qi rampaged freely.

In just two breaths, He Yu arrived in Wang Yulin's courtyard.

Boom—

Wang Yulin's door was shattered into splinters by He Yu.

"Who dares cause trouble at the Golden Saber Martial Arts School!" Wang Yuanyi roared as he charged out from inside.

When Wang Yuanyi saw He Yu standing in the courtyard with the Soul Awakening Blade in hand, his face twisted with shock and fury.

He examined He Yu in disbelief: "You... you're He Yu?!"

The terrifying aura radiating from He Yu made him shudder uncontrollably.

It felt like a mere wave of He Yu's hand could reduce him to dust.

Wang Yuanyi's eyelids twitched violently.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind:

Is this really that orphan father brought home?

Wasn't he just an ordinary person?

Wasn't he nearly starved to death when father brought him back?

Then who is this person now?!

Why do I feel like a tiny fishing boat in a storm when facing him?

And this is definitely not an illusion!

What the hell is going on?!

Wang Yuanyi's expression was terrified, his mind in complete turmoil.

"Brother~ Did someone from the Black Tiger Martial Arts School break in?" Wang Yulin came running out from inside.

Wang Yulin first clung weakly to Wang Yuanyi's arm before turning to look at He Yu.

"He Yu! You... why are you here?"

Her voice was full of suspicion.

She thought after drinking that pot of tea, He Yu shouldn't be standing here looking perfectly normal.

Wang Yulin glanced at Wang Yuanyi's grave expression.

Assuming he was angry the drug hadn't taken effect on He Yu yet,

she decided to placate He Yu first and find another opportunity to drug him later.

A pure, gentle smile appeared on Wang Yulin's face as she approached He Yu.

"He Yu, I was just coming to discuss embroidery with you. Let's go to your ro—"

"Yulin, don't go near him!!"

Wang Yuanyi reached out and grabbed Wang Yulin tightly.

"Ah~ Brother, that hurts!"

Wang Yuanyi was so tense he momentarily forgot Wang Yulin was an ordinary person without martial training, his grip too strong.

Wang Yuanyi clutched his sister's slender arm as if letting go would mean losing her forever.

"Brother, what's wrong with you today? Let go—"

Wang Yulin's eyes suddenly trembled, her words cutting off abruptly.

Wang Yuanyi thought he saw a cold glint flash by, but wondered if it was just his imagination.

A thin red line appeared on Wang Yulin's delicate shoulder.

The arm Wang Yuanyi was holding suddenly felt lighter.

In the next moment, Wang Yulin's arm separated from her body.

Wang Yuanyi stood frozen, still holding just his sister's arm, his mind unable to process what happened.

Then, thin red lines appeared across Wang Yulin's face and body.

Like cracking porcelain, the blood lines spread across her entire form.

Splash—

Wang Yulin's body fragmented into small pieces, scattering across the ground.

Only the arm in Wang Yuanyi's hand remained relatively intact.

Some people just fall apart while walking.

"Yulin—!!"

Wang Yuanyi howled madly at the severed arm.

The scene drove him to the brink of insanity.

His sister had been killed right before his eyes!

Yet he couldn't even see how He Yu had struck!

Wang Yuanyi realized He Yu's strength was at least two major realms above his own.

But... how was that possible?!

Wang Yuanyi couldn't believe it, didn't want to believe it.

Terror gripped his heart completely.

Yet this extreme fear birthed extreme rage.

Hatred gradually consumed Wang Yuanyi's rationality.

"Ah!! Whoever you are, DIE—!"

Wang Yuanyi charged recklessly at He Yu.

He Yu chuckled lightly and released a burst of true qi.

Bang—

Wang Yuanyi's leg exploded mid-sprint.

"Ah—!"

Wang Yuanyi collapsed, clutching his mangled, half-missing thigh in agony.

He Yu walked over.

Looking down at the writhing Wang Yuanyi.

Wang Yuanyi stared up at the composed He Yu, his mind full of confusion.

"Who the fuck are you?! One of those Black Tiger Martial Arts School bastards?!"

Wang Yuanyi roared furiously, venting his fear and rage.

He Yu slowly crouched down, a sharp true qi gathering at his fingertip.

The energy pointed at Wang Yuanyi's face like a drawn crossbow.

A gentle release would blast Wang Yuanyi's head apart.

Feeling death's approach, Wang Yuanyi shuddered and forced himself still.

He stared blankly at He Yu.

Boundless terror made his body tremble uncontrollably.

He Yu spoke with complete neutrality: "What is the relationship between Duan Qian, Prefect of Danzhou, and your family?"
