Simulated Lives: The Sorrow of the Sword Maiden

Chapter 77 – The great red dragon will never be a slave

If Xu Xi wanted, he could hide his strength for a lifetime and remain an extremely low-key person. However, after careful consideration, he abandoned that idea. It wasn't youthful arrogance, eager to show off once he had power, but rather because Xu Xi's strength was improving too rapidly, with each simulation being a new transformation.

Ascension? Becoming a god? Transcendence? Xu Xi himself didn't know what the limits of his simulations would be. In such a situation, concealing his true combat power was actually meaningless and would hinder further improvement.

"In this ever-changing world, having no strength is equivalent to having no safety."

After finishing his buns and tofu pudding, Xu Xi slowly stood up. At the end of his line of sight was a bustling street filled with people. The debate over sweet versus salty tofu pudding echoed in his ears. In the past, Xu Xi would have loved such a life, content with being ordinary and low-key, thinking that a lifetime of peace was not bad.

But ever since experiencing the Transcendent catastrophe and being forced to sit in a wheelchair for five years, Xu Xi realized that without strength, a peaceful life is like a fragile mirror, easily shattered. Instead of thinking about how to stay out of trouble, it's better to work hard to improve his strength, becoming so powerful that no one can disturb him.

Of course, what truly gave Xu Xi the confidence to be open with the authorities was his sister's support. The Eternal Tear, with its tenfold attributes akin to a bug, and its formidable defense capable of withstanding an Immortal Emperor's attack, made Xu Xi genuinely wonder why he needed to stay low-key. Even if Earth exploded, he would remain unharmed.

Invincible. No need for more words!

"Moli, your brother is counting on you in this life."

Xu Xi lowered his head, glanced at the Eternal Tear on his wrist, and felt infinitely happy. Being a gigolo was indeed a wonderful thing. The noonday sun was quiet and brilliant, reflecting off the Eternal Tear, its flickering, hazy blood light like a silent joy and response.

...

Soon, the strength Xu Xi voluntarily revealed was quickly reported to the main bureau of the Bureau of Transcendent Affairs in the capital by Zhang Yaoguo. This place gathered China's strongest Transcendents and the most abundant Transcendent resources. Many visitors, who accidentally arrived during the world's fusion, were absorbed into the Bureau of Transcendent Affairs, exchanging their formidable strength for high treatment and benefits. In this regard, the Bureau was extremely generous, recruiting several top-tier powerhouses.

And today, the news from Xu Xi successfully piqued the curiosity of one of these powerhouses.

"Oh?"

"Saint Domain Archmage?"

"Heh, interesting. Leave the task of testing his strength to the great me."

Within the vast and awe-inspiring building, piles of shiny gold coins and colorful gems were stacked everywhere. Under the high-intensity spotlights at specific angles, the colors of the gold and jewels intertwined, creating an unparalleled spectacle, dazzling to the point of being hard to look at directly. In the next second, the mountain of gold and silver collapsed with a roar. Accompanied by the clattering sound of metal falling, a towering giant hidden deep within slowly stood up, its limbs thick and its wings half-spread, revealing a deep red and menacing mythical form.

With each breath, scorching fire mist spewed out, melting the gold coins on the ground into liquid.

"I am the great Saint Domain Dragon!"

"The hellish wings that conquer the world!"

"Rexxar Astartes Nefarian Acnologia Kakarot!"

"Hehehe, since leaving the original world, I haven't seen a mage strong enough in a long time."

"I hope this so-called Saint Domain Archmage can bring me some amusement."

"Jie jie jie."

"Foolish mortals, feel the wrath of the red dragon!!"

The dragon's roar echoed through the heavens and earth. The menacing red dragon, Rexxar, took on the task of testing Xu Xi's strength, flapping its massive wings and flying towards Yanshan City at an uncatchable speed.

During the flight, the red dragon vaguely felt something was off. The name Xu Xi seemed familiar, as if it had heard it somewhere before. But it no longer mattered! Feeling the indentation on its head, the anger in the red dragon's eyes turned tangible, burning in its dragon pupils, leaving a deep red trail in the sky.

The great red dragon, the Saint Domain-level Rexxar, had suffered humiliation in its weaker days. It had trained painstakingly for many years, only to find that the enemies it wanted to take revenge on had long disappeared. This anger, this unwillingness, this humiliation was deeply imprinted in Rexxar's heart. It was determined to vent this anger on other human Saint Domain Archmages.

"Jie jie jie!"

"Pitiful humans, if you want to blame someone, blame your ancestors!"

The blue sky was tainted with flames, forming a dark crimson. The red dragon's speed was astonishing, surpassing even the lightning in the sky with the support of its fire domain, tearing through the air, leaving the clouds far behind, heading straight for Yanshan City.

But suddenly, Rexxar's dragon pupils widened, and it forcibly stopped its flight. The inertia from high-speed flight caused it to fall from the sky, crashing heavily onto a barren mountain, rolling over a dozen times before finally stopping. The dragon scales, once shiny enough to be used as mirrors, were now covered in dust, looking extremely disheveled.

"Strange, what just happened to me?"

The red dragon only felt its heart pounding, as if warning it of something, and its body was doing everything it could to prevent it from flying further.

Could there be danger ahead? Ridiculous! The pride inherent in the dragon race made Rexxar squint its eyes: "It seems that this Saint Domain Archmage named Xu Xi is not a weakling."

"Heh, just as I hoped, bullying the weak doesn't showcase my strength."

Intense battles, violent suppression, dominating strong enemies! Only in this way could the great red dragon wash away its past humiliation.

Rexxar forcibly suppressed its trembling dragon body, flapping its wings again, flying towards Yanshan City. It knew that it was currently employed by the human kingdom of another world, with some title like guest or auxiliary personnel, so it wouldn't affect ordinary humans.

As it flapped its wings, it carefully cast the silent wind magic and the light concealment magic to hide its dragon form. The massive red dragon concealed its presence, silently entering the sky above Yanshan City, searching for the so-called Saint Domain Archmage.

"Found it!"

"This immense magical power, and the deeply hidden yet surging mental strength."

"No mistake, it's the Saint Domain Archmage!"

The red dragon grinned, revealing its large interlocking teeth. Its wings folded, and its dragon body dove, rushing towards the locked position, preparing to unleash a fierce first strike of the red dragon's wrath.

However, halfway through its dive, the red dragon's expression suddenly froze, because the Saint Domain Archmage slowly turned around, revealing a face that struck fear into the dragon race.

"Dragon Speaker!?"
