Shanhai Continent, Song State, Hedong County.
Chu Ming woke up from his bed in confusion, looking at everything around him with novelty, antique furniture, clothes similar to those of the Ming Dynasty, and another memory in his mind that did not belong to him. He was sure that he had traveled through time.
Chu Ming was originally a social worker of Blue Star "996". He had just completed the development of a martial arts game. Before he had time to celebrate, he died suddenly from overwork.
For some unknown reason, his soul traveled to the body of a young man named Chu Ming in Shanhai Continent.
When he was in a coma, he had merged all the memories of his predecessor.
Shanhai Continent is a world of high martial arts, and there are powerful people such as "Martial Saints" and "Martial Gods" who can change the world with their personal power.
Therefore, the most top forces in the mainland are those sects that live in seclusion in famous mountains and rivers.
The secular dynasty actually provided services for their practice, but it was difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with them. Although we all live on the same continent, there is no intersection at all. It is like two parallel worlds.
Chu Ming is nineteen years old this year and has lived in Hedong County for generations. His parents died young, leaving him a three-story courtyard and the largest restaurant in the county.
Chu Ming was a small official in the county government responsible for managing and copying documents, and he was euphemistically called the "master book".
He has a quiet personality and is philanthropic. He has always had a good reputation in Hedong County and is very popular among the people.
He had never been blushing with anyone, let alone had any grudges. Who wanted his life? Was it an honest mistake? Or is it deliberate?
What is the specific reason?
Shaking his still dull head, Chu Ming seemed to want to get rid of all his worries.
He had just crossed over and was about to face the threat of death, which made Chu Ming feel an urgent sense of crisis.
"Perceiving the host's determination to change his destiny, the system is loading."
Less than three seconds passed, and the same voice came from my mind again, "The system is loaded."
"system?"
Just when Chu Ming was confused, a virtual panel appeared in front of him.
"The martial arts directory system helps you create your own force and compete for hegemony! Win the continent!"
"A Chronicle of Martial Arts?"
This is exactly the name of the game developed by Chu Ming in his previous life.
Chu Ming has been a martial arts fan since he was a child and has read almost all published martial arts novels.
He longed for the gratification and revenge of the martial arts world, and also envied their superhuman ability to chase stars and moons, so he designed and created a game about martial arts characters.
I hope to be liked by friends who admire the world of martial arts as much as he does.
Unexpectedly, he would travel to the world of Gaowu with the game he invented.
Is this a dream come true in a sense?
"The system is now at level one, and you can draw a lottery once a month. The martial arts characters drawn are 100%25 loyal to the host."
"The character and abilities of the extracted characters are all retained, but there is no memory of the previous life."
"One percent of each martial arts character's cultivation will be fed back to the host."
This is a design that makes Chu Ming most satisfied. The host himself does not need to practice hard. As long as he develops his power with peace of mind and gets more opportunities to draw characters, his own realm will naturally increase.
"Martial arts character cards are divided into black iron, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, excellence, supreme, and infinite from low to high."
It perfectly corresponds to the nine levels of physical training, Xiantian, Grandmaster, Grand Master, Martial King, Martial Emperor, Martial Emperor, Martial Saint, and Martial God in Shanhai Continent.
"Since the system is currently at level one, the host can only draw character cards of the first and western levels. Each time the system upgrades to a level, a card level is automatically unlocked."
"Within one year, the force created by the host must control a county, and its fame must spread throughout the Song Dynasty. If these two conditions are met, the system will automatically upgrade."
"Are there any penalties for not being able to complete the system?"
"There will be no punishment for the host, but the next system upgrade will be twice as difficult."
For the first time, Chu Ming felt that the cold mechanical sound of the system was so pleasant.
As long as there is no penalty for him being the first to connect, it will be fine. As for the system upgrade being doubled in difficulty, he will naturally filter it out.
"The host is using the system for the first time, and is giving a gift package to the newcomer, which has been placed in the system space."
Chu Ming took a closer look and saw that a gift box indeed appeared in the system space.
"Can I put items from this world into the system space?"
"Can."
The system is as concise and concise as ever.
"And as the system is upgraded, the functionality of the system space will change."
"What are the changes?"
"The host's current authority is not enough to understand higher-level information. The host is requested to upgrade the system as soon as possible."
Chu Ming discovered that the system was encouraging him to upgrade. And the game was obviously designed by him, but it had many features that even he didn't know about.
"Do you have a name?"
"No, the host has the naming rights of the system."
"Then let's call you Xiaotie."
"Okay, Master."
It was obvious that the system did not dislike the name Chu Ming randomly gave him.
Chu Ming opened his gift bag for newcomers. There were three items in it, a book of exercises, a white snow lotus, and a gold card.
The gold card corresponds to the powerful master.
The county magistrate of Hedong County is only at the third level of innate talent, and the county's head catcher is only at the ninth level of physical training.
The Grand Master was the top powerhouse in the Song Dynasty. Legend has it that the Song Dynasty royal family had a powerful King of Martial Arts, but no one had ever seen him.
"Xiaotie, if I activate the character card, he will appear in front of me immediately."
"The master can designate the place where he will appear, but it will only be within the territory of the Song Dynasty. As the system is upgraded, the scope designated by the master will be wider."
Chu Ming found that Xiaotie was very competent and seized every opportunity to encourage him to upgrade the system.
The injuries on the original owner's body had been repaired by the system as before when his soul traveled through time.
So when he was sent home, everyone thought he was drunk.
Chu Ming did not open the character card at home because after merging the memories of his predecessor, he also had doubts about his wife, whom he had been married to for half a year.
Without figuring out why his predecessor was killed, Chu Ming couldn't believe anyone now.
Chu Ming walked out of his yard and ran in the direction of the restaurant.
"Master, why are you here?"
"Uncle Fu, let me take a look."
The shopkeeper of the Chu Family Restaurant is Chu Fu, an old servant who has served the Chu family for two generations.
"Why does the young master smell so drunk?"
"I had a few too many drinks with my colleagues yesterday. I was afraid of being scolded by Lady Yu when I went back. Are you too old to join me now?"
"The young lady has always been virtuous, how could she be willing to blame the young master?"
Although Chu Fu said this, he still led Chu Ming into the backyard and arranged for the waiter to prepare hot water.
After a while, everything was ready, Chu Fu said goodbye and left, leaving Chu Ming alone in the room.
Chu Ming immediately opened the character card.
The gold card "Tu Fengsan" is in the late stage of the Grand Master.
(Dividing the realms of mountains and seas, each realm of physical training and innateness is divided into nine levels, and the remaining realms are divided into five stages: early stage, early stage, middle stage, late stage, and Dzogchen)
In the later period, the Grand Master was also a rare master in the Song Dynasty. Chu Ming finally felt a little at ease now.
"Tu Fengsan pays homage to the master."
Chu Ming hurriedly helped the young man in front of him.
"Feng San doesn't have to be like this. You can still call me Young Master from now on."
"Thank you, sir!"
Due to the appearance of Tu Fengsan, Chu Ming changed from a scholar with no power to bind a chicken to a warrior at the sixth level of Qi training.
Chu Ming felt that his body had become much stronger and stronger, and there seemed to be infinite strength in his body. He could now lift a weight of five hundred kilograms without difficulty.
Chu Ming asked Tu Fengsan to stay aside first, and he took out the snow lotus rewarded by the system.
According to the tradition of Shanhai Continent, Chu Ming has missed the best age to learn martial arts, but this ten thousand-year-old snow lotus can perfectly make up for this shortcoming.
After Chu Ming swallowed the snow lotus, black and greasy substances began to appear all over his body. Fortunately, Uncle Fu had people prepare things for bathing.
He hurriedly took off his clothes and got into the bathtub. He did not expect that the first time he met Tu Fengsan, he would be "sincere and sincere".
The whole process lasted about an hour. At first, it was a black and greasy substance, and then it turned into purple-black blood, and the room was filled with a foul smell.
When Chu Ming washed himself and walked out of the tub, he had become a third-level innate warrior.
It can be seen that the effect of Ten Thousand Years Snow Lotus is powerful.
"Congratulations, young master. Cutting off the tendons and cleansing the marrow. The road to becoming a warrior will be smooth in the future."
As an expert, Tu Fengsan naturally saw the importance of Chu Ming's opportunity for future practice.
Chu Ming was also sighing at the power of the system. It only took less than two hours to go from an ordinary person to an innate warrior.
If this were to spread, people would think he was just dreaming.
Chu Ming took out a third item, a book of exercises called "Breathing Condensation Jue".
Although it is not a powerful mental method, it perfectly fits his current situation.
"Breathing Condensation Technique" can perfectly hide the realm of a warrior, making him look the same as an ordinary person. After practicing to a higher level, he can also simulate the aura of a warrior that is not three levels higher than his own realm.
In other words, if Chu Ming reaches the realm of Martial King, he can simulate the aura of Martial Saint. As long as the two sides do not really fight, he can completely pretend to be a strong Martial Saint.
This function is so unbelievable that it is difficult for even the Martial Emperor to see it now, let alone the Martial Saint.
If one could perfectly imitate the aura of a Martial Saint, who would dare to make a mistake easily?
Since it was a technique gifted by the system, Chu Ming quickly understood the "Bidding Technique".
He also changed from an innate warrior to a weak scholar. Even Tu Fengsan, who was waiting by the side, couldn't see any flaws, which made people marvel.
"Xiaotie, can characters in the "Breathing Condensation Technique" system practice?"
"Anyone who is a system person can practice the system's techniques, and it is more efficient than practicing other techniques."
