The ninth of September.

The autumn wind is bleak and the night is slightly cool.

A hundred miles outside Yangzhou city, amidst the pine, cypress and bamboo groves along the riverbank.

Torches were lit all around, and rows of young men dressed in plain white robes with red ropes around their waists and holding gleaming broadswords stood in neat square formations.

Their gazes were fixed on the high platform that had been erected in advance, and the whole scene was solemn and dignified.

A clear, resounding roar suddenly came from the opposite bank of the river: "The earth shakes the high hills, a scene of timeless beauty amidst verdant mountains!"

Upon hearing those familiar words, hundreds of white-clad youths on the riverbank knelt on one knee, clenching their right fists and striking their hearts, responding in unison with equally resounding voices: "Our gate faces the vast sea, the three rivers converge and flow for ten thousand years! The Iron-Blooded Youth Corps respectfully welcomes our Grand Master!"

As they were talking, all the boys threw their broadswords upwards!

Hundreds of broadswords flew into the air and paused for two or three seconds, forming a straight line composed of the blades.

Just then, a graceful figure appeared. He was dressed in a white robe, with a tall and handsome figure. Although he was middle-aged, he had a strong sense of righteousness. He was Chen Jinnan, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society!

Chen Jinnan used his superb lightness skill of "Dragonfly Three Skimmings" on the wide river. His toes lightly touched the water's surface, creating only a barely perceptible ripple. He then rose seven centimeters higher like a roc, stepping onto the broadswords suspended in mid-air.

Landing on the high platform that had been prepared for him, Chen Jinnan casually tossed the hem of his long robe, turned to face the kneeling youths below, a hearty smile on his face, and proclaimed loudly, "Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother, overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming! Brothers, it's been a long time!"

These words ignited the passion of the young people in the audience, their eyes filled with fervent admiration for Chen Jinnan.

"Brother Qin, look! Look! The Grand Master's entrance is absolutely amazing! It's just... just like you said... yeah, it's incredibly cool!"

At the back of the crowd, a thin, plain-looking boy with a clever air spoke excitedly, his tone filled with the envy of a nobody meeting a big shot.

Qin Han didn't react to the words of the boy beside him. He just stared calmly at the figure on the high platform that looked just like Zheng Shuai. Everything was just as he had expected.

Qin Han is a time traveler who grew up in this world little by little.

In his past life, he was a poor child who grew up in an orphanage. The hardships and twists and turns he experienced were too difficult for outsiders to understand. Fortunately, he lived up to his potential and eventually got into a 985 university.

He thought his life was about to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but fate played a cruel joke on Qin Han.

That day, he held the red admission notice, his hands trembling with excitement, and was preparing to return to the orphanage to tell the director the good news.

On the way, he was stopped by a little boy who looked only seven or eight years old. The little boy was wearing a strange training uniform and said to him with a serious face that he knew a powerful technique called "Lion's Fang" and asked him if he wanted to see it.

Qin Han found it amusing at the time. How could a little kid like him, a top student, believe that he could use Lion's Fang?

Why don't you just say you know the Kamehameha?

With a smile, as if teasing a child, I said, "Really? Then why don't you use it for your brother to see?"

The next second, the little boy assumed a horse stance, clenched his right fist, and a blinding light shone from his fist...

Then, Qin Han saw a beam of light!

When he woke up again, he found himself in this chaotic world of martial arts.

Various countries, various experts, the timeline is a complete mess!

Fortunately, although Qin Han did not receive the system cheat that is standard for transmigrators, he did have a peculiar python tattoo on his body. This tattoo is not visible normally and only appears when he concentrates his mind.

After more than a decade of development and exploration, Qin Han discovered two abilities of this python pattern.

First, it can store "good luck".

If someone chooses to store up a day's worth of good luck, then for the next 24 hours, nothing they do will go smoothly. They can then choose to release it to increase their luck for that day, or they can choose to accumulate it day after day. Qin Han accumulated this good luck for a total of ten years!

All for the sake of securing a 100% chance of success!

Secondly, this tattoo is somewhat similar to a lie detector. When someone speaks to you, you can judge the truthfulness of their words by observing their reaction to the python tattoo. This function is practically a magic weapon in the unpredictable world of human nature; no matter how good your acting skills are, you can't escape my test.

After arriving in this world, Qin Han, with the mind of an adult and advanced knowledge, managed to make a living in Yangzhou with his mother who had raised him alone. When he was ten years old, he discovered the young Wei Xiaobao and later deliberately entered the Lichun Brothel to get to know Wei Xiaobao.

Not long ago, when Chen Jinnan was meeting with his men at the Lichun Courtyard, he was unfortunately ambushed by Ao Bai's experts and government troops. According to the original plot, Wei Xiaobao should have accidentally saved Chen Jinnan and thus caught Chen Jinnan's eye, and was recruited into the Heaven and Earth Society.

But Qin Han changed everything. He had known this day would come. He had been planning everything since he met Wei Xiaobao when he was ten years old. He prepared for everything every day. When the soldiers rushed into the Lichun Courtyard and the scene was chaotic, Qin Han used his familiarity with the terrain to cooperate with Wei Xiaobao from the inside.

One was responsible for drawing away the main force of the officers and soldiers, while the other was responsible for a feint attack. In the end, they managed to rescue the seriously injured Chen Jinnan from the back door dog hole without any major incident!

Throughout the entire process, Qin Han performed admirably, neither appearing overly prescient nor failing to play a decisive role at crucial moments, leading Chen Jinnan and Wei Xiaobao to believe that he was simply an ordinary person who was resourceful and loyal.

It was precisely because of this life-saving grace that Chen Jinnan treated Qin Han and Wei Xiaobao with special regard.

Tonight is the night Chen Jinnan will formally introduce the two of them to the brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society.

"Ahem," Chen Jinnan coughed lightly twice on the high platform.

"Brothers, I have gathered you all here today for two important matters. First, it concerns Master Yin of the Green Wood Hall. Some time ago, we were discovered by Ao Bai's skilled men, and Master Yin was unfortunately hacked to death by the Qing soldiers... But Master Yin was loyal and courageous, and even in death he never uttered a word of begging for mercy, which brought honor to our Heaven and Earth Society!"

The Iron-Blooded Youth Group members below the stage all had red eyes. When they heard the leader say that Master Yin was loyal and brave and never begged for mercy until his death, the youths felt their blood boiling again and wished that the leader would lead them to avenge Master Yin right now!

Chen Jinnan waved his hand sadly, then composed himself and continued, "The second thing is to introduce two outstanding young talents to everyone!"

With that, he turned his gaze to the two men at the back of the crowd and called out loudly, "Wei Xiaobao, Qin Han, please come forward!"
