‘I am impatient to leave this forest and enter Jianghu. I could not care less about who else in the mountain. All I care about right now is accumulating points!’ he grumbles under his breath.
He of course had the idea of searching that person who attacked him from behind.
But thinking about it again, why does he have to do it?
His objective after all is not to seek that person.
Of course, he could probably get a quest if he began searching for that person but if he comes down the mountain and interact with the people in Jianghu, he would also get quest.
And probably it is less dangerous. Li Xin is not a coward. After all, with his skill, he also had confidence.
But, is it worth his time?
As long as that person did not attack him or hinder him, Li Xin do not have the time. And was there any need to create enmity
‘Wait a minute?’ That person already created enmity with him by throwing that needle. But then Li Xin only shakes his head
That person is lucky that Li Xin have many things to do instead pursuing this matter.
Now, he truly feels anxious about having more quest point. Of course if he really desperate for points he would at least try to investigate that person.
This mountain while not the biggest mountain in Henan, is also big enough that it would make it hard for him to comb the entire mountain, just for seeking one person
But Li Xin could always search nearby places. After all, he deduces that the person who attacked him might be close to the area around here.
Of course, this is just his deduction.
He believes that if he investigated this matter, the system would probably issue a quest.
But, that’s the thing.
He simply doesn’t have the time.
He also had the expectation that if he did chase after that person, he would probably get drawn into something complicated like an overarching arc of stories
After all, isn’t that how the clichés go. The protagonist is drawn into a small conflict that eventually became larger.
But unfortunately, right now, Li Xin has his own plans and he did not want to be dragged into something big at the beginning.
He might have the system but he is not yet invincible.
He sighed and then he checks the status window for the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm
[Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm]
In another world, it is the fearsome martial art of an organization called the Beggars Sect. Hailed as the most physically aggressive technique in Wulin, all eighteen strokes were named after phases from the I’Ching, with all names containing the character for dragon. The history of this skill it first had twenty-eight palm technique but it was later modified to become Eighteen.

Out of eighteen stroke, he had master six of them.
‘That’s enough I think. Guo Jing only mastered one in the beginning and he could fight with a lot of people with only one stroke. I mastered six in a day. I think that is more than enough to survive for now’ he thought to himself
After all, it is not like he had great enemies chasing him. He can afford taking it easy
Guo Jing in that story learn the Proud Dragon Repents. But Li Xin would save it for later.
Li Xin then suddenly thought of something
‘It is better if I try it for myself to see if it is really as powerful as it is hyped about’ he thought to himself.
And he began executing all the strokes.
He did not use his inner energy but even as he moves on the yard, his feet moving according to the flow of his movement, the dry leaves around him is stirred and the ground beneath his feet seems to tremble.
Even without using inner energy, the force that is accumulated with each momentum of the stroke accumulated and when he thrust his palm forward, the sound of the wind become shrills and the area around him seems to be affected, the wind is like a wave on the stormy ocean, following the palm.
He strikes one palm forward, one palm backward, he moves freely and then the move slowly become soft as Li Xin is about to end his training.
Like a raging dragon went back to its nest and laid down its head and once again sleeping. The momentum of his move slowly dissipated.
Li Xin then stopped and smiles.
His entire body is soaked with his sweat and his hand and feet is trembling but he is smiling happily.
Even though some of the strokes is only in Beginner rank and he did not master it, he could use all the strokes.
Only it would look awkward. After all, the six strokes are mastered while the other is not. This causes the force look unbalanced if LI Xin uses all eighteen strokes
‘I should only use six. Even though it would become predictable if I keep using this six stroke, it did not matter. Because even if it is predictable, as long as one could not stop it, what’ s the use of knowing the pattern?’
Then he chuckles.
He actually had more skills that he wanted to buy and more skills he wanted to polish but he decided this is enough for today
he is already experiencing all kinds of headache and he could feel that if he pushes himself further, he might even faint.
Then he thought to himself
‘I still did not patrol the mountain today’
And he is now smelly.
‘I should take a bath before that’ Li Xin really hates it when he is sweaty and sticky with sweat. Most of the time, he rarely sweats because it is hard to force him to go all out in his stamina. But supreme skill is truly different.
Usually it would take him hours in practicing his swordplay to get him to sweat.
There is the breath exercise and there is his strong body but a supreme skill had made him almost lost his breathe after practicing the skill in not even half an hour.
But before he goes to bathe himself once again, he opens his status window.
The status window popped up in front of his face.

Li Xin look at in and he nodded satisfied with what he is seeing.
‘I guess this is good enough for now. There is room for improvement’ he mutters. There are some things that he regretted.
He regrets that he did not have more skill points. He is probably the poorest protagonist ever. Most protagonist got one billion points of luck when they first transmigrated or get invincible domain, but he had to fight for every point
Of course, those stories are just stories he had read in the past and he should not really think of that as a template for a protagonist.
‘But, even this kind of transmigration thing could happen. Who’s to say those thing did not happen’
He sighed and then thought to himself that it is better not to think too much about it
‘I should take a bath first and then patrol the mountain’ he thought to himself.
As for upgrading the rank or buying new skill, he decided to do it in the evening or at night. He would let his mind rest for a bit. He already has too much information poured into his mind and he ought to take it slow a bit.It seems that his mental energy is not that strong yet.He swipes the status window with his hand and then he enters back his house. He then eats some snack made of meat something like a beef jerky.This time he did not want to bathe in the tub.The sun is shining bright overhead so he wanted to swim in the river. There is a small stream of river, deep enough for him to submerged himself and large enough for him to swim aroundThe ancient world seems to be more hospitable to life.The air is so clear that just by inhaling it, his headache feel a bit lightened. If this is a normal headache, he would surely be cured of it in just a couple of minute.Maybe, it is also because this world is a bit different than his w
Even though, he is quite sure that person could not overpowered him, he always errs on the side of caution.He knows nothing about that person and actually there is not that much of an enmity between themIt would be different however if he seeks that person and then clashed with that person.Then whatever secrets that person is trying to cover up would be uncovered and as such, the inevitable conclusion is that they probably would have to fight each other till deathOf course like most of his thought this is the scenario he had think of in his mind.he is still anxious on whether he could survive in this world. There is still so many things he doesn’t knowThere are still many things that needs to be strengthened for him to truly be confident in walking in Jianghu. Right now, he only had four martial art skill.He had two swordplay skill which is the Sixteen Moves Swordplay and the One Sword swordplay. Of the two, one of them i
Zhu Wen is someone that Li Xin wanted to meet and stop. He wanted to see whether he could really change the future.It is ironic especially when he thinks of Zhu Wen, who is also called Zhu Quanzhong. When Zhu captured Tong prefecture in Shaanxi, he submitted to Huang Chao during the Huang Chao rebellion.When Huang Chao captured Chang’an many had submitted, but they soon reverted to the Tang court once these people realized that the cause was not yet lostBy 882 Huang Chao was effectively surrounded, controlling only two prefectures outside Chang'an, one of which was Zhu Wen's Tong Prefecture.It is at this time that Zhu Wen now found the time opportune to change sides.After first assassinating his military overseer Yan Shi sent by Huang Chao to guard against just such a possibility, Zhu Wen surrendered to the Hezhong Circuit military governor Wang ChongrongAs reward for his timely defection Emperor Xizong appointed Zhu Wen Gr
He keeps patrolling sometimes jumping over trees or gliding down from hills or soaring upwards.He heard the chirping of the birds and the songs of nature.Like the day before, he thought that today would be another boring day but then as he passes a tree, he suddenly stopped.His sudden stop had dispersed the pressure and impact of the energy on his foot to the breach. The branch breaks and exploded but Li Xin expertly somersaulted in the air and then landed gracefully on the ground. He ran back the distance and then look toward left.There is a stream of water rushing and then there is a tree not far from that stream of water.Li Xin saw a woman there, leaning on the tree, appearing to be unconscious.‘Hell! Zhou Qingxuan!’ Li Xin could not believe himself. This gambit of him really worksBut before he could walk suddenly there is something that appears in front of his eyes. It is the quest notification<
He was about to grab her body and put it behind his back but as he touched her he could feel cold all over.‘What!’ he exclaimed in his heartThat cold nearly enter his body but Li Xin Yang meridian block the entry and Li Xin quickly circulated his inner energy to dispel the cold that was about to invade his body.His other hand was holding Zhou Qingxuan right hand and on this area, Li Xin felt a powerful and violent Yang energy is about to ravage his meridian and this time Li Xin Yin meridian block the entry and like before Li Xin circulates his inner energy to drive the violent energy from his body.He jumps backward from Qingxuan body and then raise his palm and then thrust both of his palm to the side.The left hand shoot toward the left, the right hand shoot toward the right, the sound of a roaring dragon shakes the trees and the ground exploded.The soil flew upwards as dust fills the surrounding.The dust settles an
‘her breath is getting fainter and fainter. I should do something first’ Li Xin also knows even though this manual could help him in healing her, he could not just learn this skill here. The area is too open.It is not like the web novels he used to read. In those stories, he would just choose to learn and a second later everything is learned by him and he could use it to heal her.While that might work for some low level skill, this is a supreme inner energy technique.He doubts that he could learn this in a small amount of time.There is still the knowledge that need to be passed down to him that probably take half an hour.If it takes half an hour, it is better trying save this woman first. He bet by the first half she would be dead if he did not do anythingWhile he could not dispel the hot and cold, he bets some of the pills that he has could at least make sure that this girl would endure it for a while until he manage
Li Xin continues reading the introduction page. The introduction page is long and covers a lot. By now he is already at the third page.[At that time, Li Shimin, the future Taizong had always admired Li Jing and has always been impressed with Li Jing abilities.He admired Li Jing prowess in martial skill and appreciated Li Jing strategies in war.At the execution site, as he was about to be executed by Li Yuan, Li Jing yelled to Gaozu‘You, duke, rose in order to eliminate tyrannical rule for the people. You are not concerned about what is important, but instead are executing a brave man on account of personal enmity!’Li Yuan hearing this was very impressed by Li Jing words and Li Shimin interceded on Li Jing behalfLi Yuan under the persuasion of Li Shimin released Li Jing, and Li Shimin soon gained the loyalty of Li Jing.He serves the Tang dynasty defeating a lot of foreign enemies.At the same tim
‘Huh’ Li Xin sighed.‘You wait. When I am strong enough, I would not mind investigating who is the one that is writing this introductory page’ he mutters.He then continues reading the introductory page. It is almost reaching the end of the introduction___________________________________The Duke secluded himself and it was at this moment that many people believe that the Duke had created the Scroll of Eternal Life.The Scroll remains as one of the most coveted secret martial arts technique in Wulin, in par with the Nine Yang Divine Skill of the Righteous Temple, the Supreme Ultimate Inner Skill of the Cloud Gate and the Ten Thousand Sword Codex of the Divine Sword Mountain.Duke Jingwu of Wei in his illustrious life had pacified the Wu region to the south, cleared the desert to the north and settled the Tuyuhun to the west.And travelling and fighting up and down the Tang empire, he learned from his ene
This sigh is because he once felt such feeling.Even though it is now hazy, Li Xin remembers that when he active the One Sword technique, there is that feeling that everywhere his sword pointed, the surrounding area is under his control.None of the sword of the enemy could touch him and none of their attack could even reach himIn that moment, he is the sword and wherever he pointed is the area of death.Everyone is waiting for Dugu Qingfeng to make his move.Everyone is paying attention because those who came here who have deep attainment in martial arts know that a battle between masters does not take so long.When they strike, they have the confidence to win in that one strike. If this is sparring, they might trade a few swings here and there but this is a battle of life and deathIf they could end it with one strike, why not?This is the reason why battle between masters sometimes is boring.When they are evenly matched, they will exchange moves and flashy moves and fancy techniq
Dugu Qingfeng wear a blue attire, and he seems like a debonair young hero. Wu Ming is dressed in white; his face is expressionless and his eyes is cold. Looking at him, it almost appears like he is detached from the world. That everywhere he walks, he walks in a world of his own and everything beside him is isolated Everyone who looks at these two people on the city wall feel differently But there is one similarity that all of these people seem to share and that is the feeling of awe toward these two people rising from their heart. Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng look at each other. Even though the distance between them is ten feet away from each other, it was like they are in front of each other, only inches apart ‘Hero Li who do you think would win?’ Zhang Kuo asked. Li Xin shook his head. Zhang Kuo nodded. Qingxuan who is also proficient in the sword also could not speculate. The level is too high and she sat so low, so how could she humiliate herself trying to give an answer to
Li Xin is not surprised that some people chose today to try to attack Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng.However, it was so many people, it was like every corner of the city is full of people wanting to fight Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng.It is too coincidentalThree days ago, when Dugu Qingfeng is in the Red Building and Wu Ming in the White pagoda, no one come and challenges them.They could always just shout their challenge and knowing Dugu Qingfeng, he might accept.And if anyone could walk through the Immortal Forest and pass through the Village of the Defeated, they could always try to challenge Wu Ming if they are really determined to do sobut they waited for today and like clockwork, all single challengers come fighting them today, those who have feuds, blood debt and even assassins of all kinds, all appeared in droves like a swarmLi Xin is confident that there is someone behind the scene that is directing these peoplethe kind of people that could mobilize this many people and have th
Li Xin is surrounded by beautiful fairy. This is the thought of every man looking at him walking around with two beauties alongside him.Some people even envy Zhang Kuo who is talking and laughing with Li Xin. They never though a proud sons of the List could be so easygoingThe proud sons and daughter of the List referred to those people on the top ten of the Tianji Pavilion List.Most of these proud sons and daughters of the list usually would become a large figure in the future if they were allowed to grow. Many of those in the list before has turned into legends and figures of aweThe last time such list shows itself those in the list that survives now become ancestors of a great clan, a grandmaster, or even the head sect of powerful schools.Of course, there are also people who in the list who became legend and goes into seclusion.Hence why many of those people in the list is usually unapproachable and have their own arrogance.And not many people dare approach such high and nobl
It brushed past them and the moment it brushed them; they feel like their entire body is frozen. Their thoughts and their move were all frozenIt was like time itself is frozen. They look around in this frozen like state and sees that even the wind seems to have stopped, the dust seems to have halted in midair instead of rising upThen they feel warmth.But the more they feel this warmth, the more terrified they became.Because they feel this warmth from their neck. And then this warmth is slowly flowing out, and then drips down from their neckAnd as this warmth drips out, a different kind of coldness seems to seize them heart and soulIt took them a few second before they understand.Their throat was cut. But how? These are the question in their mind before they fall down to the ground, face forward, blood flowing out from a cut on their neck.Then their head slide down from their neck. Dugu Qingfeng cut them so cleanly like it uses a sharp knife to cut a part of a tofu.The blood s
The saber seems to be so fast it cut the wind but Dugu Qingfeng only sidestep to the side, and the saber misses it target.In that moment, Dugu Qingfeng simply smiles and flick his finger, a powerful energy was flicked off from the tip of his finger and the saber changes its trajectory.That person feels the grip of the saber loosen. And in that brief moment, Dugu Qingfeng made a grabbing motion with his hand.‘No!’Before the man could utter these words, the saber on his hand was grabbed by Dugu Qingfeng.The man somersaulted backward, trying to put a distance between him and Dugu QingfengBut how could Dugu Qingfeng let him go just like that?He dashes forward and make a slashing motion.Swish!The sound of shirts tearing, a scream echoes and the people watching all widened their eyes.That person with the saber attack in a hurry, charging like a rushing bull yet retreated even faster than expected.<
But Wu Ming is about to walk again.And Yang Xuan could not let him go.He jumps to the air coming out from the bushes and appears in front of Wu MingWu Ming lazily looked at him.But he did not move his sword‘Wu Ming, didn’t you see what you have done?’People may call him the Sword God and Uncrowned King of Sword but in front of Yang Xuan he is still a juniorEven though he is not as strong as Wu Ming, it is a fact that Wu Ming is his junior so he could speak like this.Wu Ming look around. Even though some people hide behind bushes now that their mind and heart is disturbed, their location could easily be seen.He sighed.He did not say it with his words but one could tell he looks at these people with disdain.But who really knows what he is thinking?But some people believe that his eyes seem to be conveying, if you are not powerful, they why do you dare watch it?But
The great school disciple come simply because they wanted to see the famous Wu Ming.Most of them is the disciples, the senior brother of the generation of their school and they come here just to watch the demeanor and to watch the battle between Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng.But while some people are waiting near the entrance gate to watch the battle, they wanted to see Wu Ming journey to the gate.The disciple of the great schools knows more thing than the common people.They seem to know that there will be people that could not stand the itch and tries to fight Wu Ming todayEven though there is portrait of him circulating all over Wulin, it is not the same as seeing him directly.And it is not the same as watching him uses the sword in person than just by listening to the story of storytellers.As for the sword sect, Wu Ming might not call himself a swordsman but everyone knows his sword is sublime and ethereal.For someone wh
The sword pointed to the ground, the blood dripping down from the tip hitting the ground.All those people being stabbed by him all falls to the ground, twitched a few times, coughed up some blood or look at him with hatred and not before long, there is no breathWhether they look him with hatred or not, in the end, their body could not withstand the sword energy ravaging all over their body and they all die one after anotherThe wind blows and there is only silence.Wu Ming stop moving, he halts his step and the wind blows his white robe, the blood dripping from the edges of the sword to the tip of the swordThis is Wu Ming.He kills people with style and elegance.One could even say he kills people so beautiful that it would not be a bad death to die under his sword‘What a Sword God!’ some people thought of this when they see this battle. It doesn’t feel like he is killing people at all.It was more
