Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy

Instinctively, Ouyang Qian looked up at Luo Chen. At the same moment, Luo Chen also looked toward her. Their eyes met in the air, as if time had frozen at that instant. Both were stunned, neither looking away, seemingly captivated by the depth in each other's eyes.

The glow of the Luminous Pearl flickered from the bottom of the pond, casting a mysterious hue over everything around. The water rippled under the pearl's light, waves undulating, as if bearing witness to the tranquility of the moment. The sound of the tides seemed to come from a distant place, deafening and overwhelming, as it swept over them. It was as if they stood at the edge of sea and sky, amidst the rolling waves. The seawater surged toward the horizon, crashing against the cliffs, echoing like a lament, as if it was confiding something.

Amid this majestic backdrop, Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian stood, eyes locked. Their hearts raced, as if excited by the encounter of this moment.

However, just as Luo Chen was about to speak but hesitated, the voice of the Wind Grasshopper suddenly broke the subtle atmosphere between them. "Would you two like to know the weakness of that Snake Demon?" The voice of the Wind Grasshopper echoed in the Dragon Palace Treasure Vault, bringing them back to reality instantly.

The sound of the retreating tides gradually faded away, and everything returned to its original state after the mist cleared. Ouyang Qian's cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked down curiously at the pearl chain in her hand. The thrill of that moment, though forcibly suppressed, could not be banished from her heart. That feeling was buried in the deepest part of her heart, inexplicably etched into her memory. She knew this feeling was absurd, yet she couldn't stop herself from recalling it.

At this moment, Ouyang Qian silently decided to leave this place. She had already obtained the Immortal Cultivation Technique, and she had nothing left to yearn for in Liu Jing or the Wei Kingdom. However, as she looked up at Luo Chen again, she could not help but want to take a few more glances at this boy who stirred her heart.

Luo Chen also looked at her, a complex light flickering in his eyes. He knew that this moment's encounter and heartbeat might only be a brief interlude; they both had their own paths to follow. But he couldn't help wanting to hold on to the beauty of this moment.

They gazed at each other in silence for a long time, until Ouyang Qian finally broke the silence. "We should go," she said softly, with a hint of reluctance in her tone.

Luo Chen nodded, saying nothing. He turned and walked toward the exit of the treasure vault, but couldn't help recalling that moment of encounter and heart-throbbing. He knew this feeling might not come a second time, but he would forever cherish it in his heart.

Together, they left the Dragon Palace Treasure Vault, heading toward their respective futures. And that pair of bracelets would forever be their shared memory and bond, reminding them of that moment of encounter and heart-throbbing.

With a tight fist, Luo Chen felt a surge of indescribable emotion. He sensed the turmoil within himself, seemingly out of control. However, after a long period of settling, he gradually unclenched his fist, took a deep breath, and calmed his agitated feelings.

Luo Chen naturally did not know Ouyang Qian's thoughts at this moment; perhaps even Ouyang Qian herself was unclear about what she was thinking. As the two sank into their respective contemplations, the Wind Grasshopper's voice resounded again, bringing up the Snake Demon, which abruptly pulled Luo Chen's thoughts back to reality.

"This Snake Demon is exceptionally talented, becoming a spirit in merely five hundred years. Even a Golden Core stage cultivator using a Magical Treasure would find it extremely difficult to deal with." The Wind Grasshopper's tone revealed a hint of seriousness, clearly understanding the strength of the Snake Demon.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen's heart stirred, keenly catching the critical information in the Wind Grasshopper's words. If even a Golden Core stage cultivator struggled, what about a higher-level Nascent Soul stage cultivator? He couldn't help but ask, "How about a Nascent Soul stage cultivator dealing with it?"

Regarding the realm divisions of the Wei Kingdom and the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, Luo Chen had already gathered some understanding. He knew that the Qi Cultivation Stage equated to the Flame Realm, the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Earth Rank, the Golden Core Stage was equivalent to the Heaven Rank, and the Nascent Soul Stage was akin to the level of a Divine Master. Although the Liu Country had no Divine Masters, Luo Chen knew three strong individuals at the Divine Master level.

The Wind Grasshopper pondered for a moment before responding, "The Snake Demon already had Nascent Soul stage cultivation before going to the Eastern Realm. However, it has been less than a hundred years since it went there, so logically its Soul Power hasn't fully recovered, meaning its strength likely hasn't reached the peak state of the Nascent Soul stage. If a Nascent Soul stage cultivator were to make a move, they might be able to slay it."
