My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1032: The Weak Devours the Strong

Fan Yong Island is aptly named.

The character "Fan" signifies a fence, while "Yong" denotes uselessness.

This isle is situated in a desolate stretch of sea, isolated by a thousand miles from any other landmass. Yet, perhaps due to this seclusion, the spiritual energy of the entire region converges upon Fan Yong Island. This phenomenon ensures the massive island enjoys perfect weather year-round and possesses incredibly rich natural resources.

Even without the effort of farming, the wild crops grow so abundantly that the inhabitants never have to worry about their livelihood or sustenance.

Massive storehouses across the island are packed to the brim with grain, left to rot slowly, yet no one finds this waste distressing.

This state of affairs has seemingly existed since the very dawn of the Congyun Sea.

Consequently, the residents of Fan Yong Island face no struggle for survival. Aside from the daily routines of eating and sleeping, their most frequent pastime is an activity known as [Grappling Fight].

In these duels, the participants fight without clothing. The victor usurps the loser’s social identity for a period of one month, gaining full control over the opponent's property and the right to exercise their social authority.

Aside from a ban on actions that might damage the island itself, no other restrictions exist.

Throughout that month, the defeated party can only watch helplessly as the winner becomes a duplicate version of themselves.

The winner spends their riches, sleeps with their spouse...

Naturally, if the loser feels indignant, they are permitted to issue a fresh challenge once the month has passed.

However, should they suffer a second defeat, the penalty duration doubles to two months.

The time continues to stack in this manner.

As the sole and most beloved form of entertainment on the island, every [Grappling Fight] draws nearly the entire population of Fan Yong Island as spectators.

The onlookers shout and mock, the fighters battle until their eyes turn red with bloodlust, and the families of the combatants remain gripped by intense anxiety.

But when the most recent [Grappling Fight] concluded, the witnesses were struck by something completely impossible.

Right before the eyes of the crowd, the winner actually morphed into the physical form of the loser!

Simultaneously, the original loser vanished without a trace in broad daylight!

Stranger still, despite such an eerie event, the islanders did not halt the [Grappling Fight] matches.

On the contrary, their fervor only intensified.

To win a person meant truly seizing everything about them! Could there be any greater thrill?

Initially, people approached this evolved [Grappling Fight] with that very mindset.

But before long, they sensed that something was terribly wrong.

Fear began to permeate Fan Yong Island.

Despite the panic, the [Grappling Fight] did not cease...

For the game had long since spiraled beyond their control.

Under a veil of supernatural strangeness, at least half the population of Fan Yong Island is forced into a [Grappling Fight] every single day. It ignores the desires of those involved and imposes itself by force.

The loser vanishes, while the victor assumes the loser's physical appearance.

This transformation is not limited to looks alone.

Even the physical attributes and capabilities of the body are altered accordingly.

Only the internal consciousness is ruled by the winner, who has consumed the memories of the loser.

Furthermore, during the duel, the mentalities of both parties are manipulated. They fight with their full strength and are unable to lose on purpose.

As the days turned into weeks, the wrestling matches persisted without end, causing the island's population to plummet.

Some, unable to bear the horror any longer, chose to take their own lives.

The remaining survivors continued to cycle through identities, match after match.

When Li Fan finally discovered the lone survivor of Fan Yong Island and sifted through the chaotic mess of over a hundred thousand memories to reconstruct the timeline, he felt a sudden shiver.

The sinister, shadowy power that once gripped Fan Yong Island had already faded away.

The bizarre creature standing before him, shaped like a cylinder with facial features nearly swallowed by folds of fat—leaving only a few vertical slits—was the ultimate victor.

This being was originally the most pathetic resident of Fan Yong Island.

Because of his massive weight, simply moving or reaching out was an ordeal. Thus, in every wrestling match, he was unable to resist. He could only endure the strikes and accept defeat.

However, the consciousness residing in this body was a fusion of over a hundred thousand people from the island. The dominant soul was that of the absolute strongest, who had never lost a bout.

Every win seemed to allow him to consume a part of his opponent to bolster himself. Now, within the collective will, his original essence outweighed all the others combined.

Yet, after surviving such a nightmare, this mound of flesh was on the brink of a mental breakdown.

He sat upon the earth, his expression lost in confusion.

But the moment Li Fan appeared, the creature instinctively triggered a wrestling duel.

In that heartbeat, Li Fan sensed a faint, dark energy surging from the other’s body, resembling ghostly tentacles reaching out to ensnare him.

Li Fan merely gave a cold snort and masked his presence.

He allowed those dark filaments to grasp at nothing but air.

The obese figure remained seated where he was.

Li Fan had a gut feeling: if he had failed to dodge that wrestling duel just now,

Then, even as the victor, he would have been forced into that hideous shape.

Whether his Cultivation level would have remained intact was a mystery.

"This power..."

Li Fan's thoughts immediately turned to Mo Rubin's mirror substitution technique.

However, the events on Fan Yong Island were clearly a weaker version compared to Mo Rubin's, carrying much heavier limitations.

Yet, if utilized correctly, it was undeniably a formidable ability.

While it seemed these wrestling matches would eventually cause a winner to dwindle toward weakness...

That only applied if the strong defeated the weak.

What if the weak were to defeat the strong?

Could one not use this ability to rapidly steal power, ascending step by step?

Usually, being weak leads to failure, and being strong leads to success.

But for someone like Li Fan, there were countless ways to secure victory while appearing weak.

Intrigued by the possibility, Li Fan’s interest was piqued.

He went out and captured a random Foundation Establishment cultivator, ignoring the man's terrified expression, and bound him instantly using the Insect Binding Technique.

He then dropped the captive in front of the ball of flesh.

Driven by instinct, the fat ball initiated a wrestling challenge against the Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Though the fat ball could barely move his limbs, he was controlled by a potent soul.

Gazing at the healthy but paralyzed body before him, the confusion in his eyes was replaced by a burning, desperate will to survive.

He struggled for nearly half a day before the contest was finally deemed complete.

To his crushing disappointment, however, despite winning the duel, he did not shift into the opponent's form.

After a moment of shock, the reason became clear to him.

The duel had not been fair.

Outside interference had tainted the match...

Therefore, the outcome was nullified!

Connecting this to the sudden arrival of a stranger who didn't belong on the island, he realized instantly that someone else was lurking nearby!

Furthermore...

A technique capable of paralyzing a person so easily was likely the work of a legendary immortal master!

At that realization, his heart began to pound with frantic excitement.
