Text-based martial arts: A nighttime rendezvous with the gang leader's wife in a dilapidated te

I didn't sleep well.

Just like the previous time in the dilapidated temple, after Chen Xuan's consciousness fell into darkness, he was once again pulled into an incredibly real world in his sleep.

However, this time the dream was about that long mountain road, that wide river, and that Shen family's backyard alchemy room, which was filled with the aura of death.

That's so true.

It was so realistic that Chen Xuan could clearly smell the mixture of strong, bitter medicinal odor and the stench of blood even in his dreams.

He could even feel the trembling and powerlessness that came from the depths of his soul when facing Cao Qing, in his frail body with almost zero attributes.

Of course, there is also the most important thing, which is almost engraved in the deepest part of the soul. The process of alchemy and the seemingly abstract experience points have been completely transformed into one's own knowledge and memory at this moment!

……

"call!"

Chen Xuan suddenly sat up in bed, panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.

His clothes were completely soaked with cold sweat, sticking to his body and making him extremely uncomfortable.

He glanced at his phone next to his pillow; the screen showed it was already 2:30 PM.

Chen Xuan reached out and wiped the fine beads of cold sweat from his forehead.

His previous excitement had faded, and he finally realized that while the game could indeed offer extraordinary opportunities, opportunities always come with risks!

But right now, something is more important than sighing!

hungry!

It's that familiar hunger again!

Chen Xuan scrambled off the bed, rummaged through drawers and cabinets, and found five whole packs of braised beef noodles, which he forced down in a dry, greasy way.

It wasn't until I finished five packets of instant noodles and gulped down a whole bottle of mineral water that the burning hunger that was driving me crazy was finally suppressed.

He didn't log in immediately. After his hunger subsided slightly, he stood up, walked to his computer desk, opened his laptop, and skillfully entered the "Martial Arts" forum.

There were many more posts on the forum than when he checked last night. A large number of new players who had obtained the third batch of test qualifications were wailing and pleading for help.

It has to be said that at this moment, Chen Xuan had a sense of what his fate would be.

Damn it! If all else fails, I'll just report my talent to the Martial Arts Bureau and request some expert help.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's mind raced, and he looked again at the featured post whose title he had only glanced at before, and clicked on it for the first time:

[Exclusive interview with the number one martial arts master! An interview with the only player to make it onto the Jianghu Monthly Ranking: 'Feng Wuyai'! Why does his mysterious background result in the highest mortality rate and the highest skill ceiling at the start of the game?]

The post is quite long and is recorded in a question-and-answer interview format.

There was a lot of meaningless small talk and nonsense in the beginning.

Chen Xuan immediately jumped to the core part of the story, which began with the mystery of his origins.

During the interview, Feng Wuyai's tone was extremely serious, even carrying a hint of relief at surviving a calamity:

"Many newcomers think that 'mysterious background' sounds cool, like a protagonist in a novel. But I can tell you responsibly that out of a thousand people who choose this starting point, 990 will die a horrible death in the first month!"

If a new player dies the first time and sees the same starting situation again in the second game, absolutely do not choose it unless you are absolutely certain of victory!

Why? Because "Martial Arts" is not child's play; it is a real martial arts world with strict logic and a huge power.

Based on my deductions and understanding, "mysterious origins" doesn't mean you have to start from scratch; it means your identity is inevitably involved with some unfathomable, incredibly mysterious, and terrifying "secret organizations" in the martial arts world of the Great Qian Dynasty!

"These organizations could be the henchmen and secret guards of the imperial courts in various regions, or they could be spy organizations of foreign forces."

It could be a centuries-old demonic cult that has dominated the underworld, an assassin alliance that has been hidden for a thousand years, or even the remnants of a top sect that was wiped out...

When you woke up with the token, from day one, you were already on the list of those these terrifying forces to be 'tested' or 'reclaimed'!

"This is why not everyone has the opportunity to have this mysterious start. This start gives you an extremely high potential for the future! But it is also inevitably accompanied by extreme risks."

Once a month! The system will only give you a one-month newbie protection period. After one month, those forces will track you down based on the tokens you possess.

Some might say, "If he's lucky enough to get into some sect or sect and be protected, as long as he stays there and doesn't leave, he'll be fine, right? Especially with that sect introduction you provided!"

"Hehe, that's a good idea, and quite correct, but it's impossible! No martial arts sect would just keep freeloaders in their ranks. Besides, sects don't have enough rooms for a new disciple to stay for an extended period!"

These assassins aren't the kind of fools who blindly rush into a sect. They have their own thoughts and plans, and once they decide that venturing in is too dangerous, they'll wait for you outside.

And if they think it's feasible, they'll storm in directly. Furthermore, if your base of operations isn't strong and your status isn't high, your gang might even expel you from the sect!

Chen Xuan looked at the words on the screen, his eyes filled with deep emotion.

"A secret organization?"

Chen Xuan silently exited the thread, then opened the strategy guide for the Martial Arts Realm thread again to view it:

"The first realm of martial arts is body refinement, which is divided into six levels: flesh refinement, tendon refinement, skin refinement, bone refinement, viscera refinement, and marrow refinement!"

These six levels, under normal circumstances, will randomly and permanently increase attributes such as strength, agility, and constitution with each advancement. To enter the body refining stage, one needs to practice the corresponding body refining stance training!

Stance training can be practiced independently or by adding points through "potential points." However, obtaining potential points is extremely difficult, and they are mostly acquired through various fortuitous encounters or battles. Therefore, most training relies primarily on one's own efforts.

The depth of one's body-refining stance training also determines the amount and type of attribute increase after each breakthrough in the body-refining period...

Chen Xuan quietly read through the entire long post, then slowly closed the laptop screen.

The huge dormitory was deathly silent.

Feng Wuyai's interview completely confirmed his previous guesses, and even made the sword of Damocles hanging over his head even clearer and more terrifying.

What is this so-called "secret organization" behind me? What organization does it belong to? What kind of martial arts do they possess?

Chen Xuan didn't know.

He didn't think about it any further.

Chen Xuan has always been an extremely pragmatic person.

At present, although he has successfully established himself in the alchemy room, whether he can survive is still unknown.

What does he have to consider for what will happen a month from now?

The most urgent task right now is to figure out how to please that old codger. If we could obtain his martial arts skills, that would be even better!

"call……"

Chen Xuan took a deep breath, dispelling all the grand ideas and fears about the hidden forces in his mind. His eyes regained focus and rationality.

He picked up the tablet computer that was lying face down on the table.

Chen Xuan pressed his finger heavily on that extraordinary, blood-red icon.

Welcome back to the world of martial arts.
