All Heavens: A Role-Playing System Starting from Tianlong

Mu Wanqing is currently on the run.

A few days ago, she went to Suzhou with her master, "Yougu Ke," to assassinate Lady Wang of the Wang family in Gusu.

Unexpectedly, the Wang family not only had a large retinue of servants, but their residence was also riddled with traps and strange paths.

The master and apprentice secretly investigated for several months, and although they dealt with many of the other side's henchmen, they still couldn't even get a glimpse of Madam Wang.

Later, her master decided to split up and look for opportunities, each acting on their own.

Unexpectedly, not long after they parted ways, Mu Wanqing accidentally revealed her whereabouts and was relentlessly pursued by the Wang family's skilled fighters all the way to Dali territory.

Relying on her beloved horse "Black Rose's" extraordinary speed, she managed to weave through enemy lines several times before temporarily shaking off her pursuers and creating some breathing space.

Exhausted, the men and horses spotted an inn at the entrance of Shaqiao Town and decided to go in to rest, water the horses, feed them, and then figure out their next move.

Little did they expect that they would encounter a formidable opponent as soon as they entered the courtyard.

The man was imposing and handsome, wearing a felt hat and a gray-brown short coat. He held a seven-foot-long staff, and his eyes were cold and sharp, exuding an intimidating aura.

Upon seeing her enter, he stood still and confronted her.

In all her years of wandering the martial world, Mu Wanqing had never seen anyone with such an imposing aura, and she felt that the other party's cultivation level was probably even above her master's.

She was so intimidated by his imposing presence that she dared not make a move and could only stand still and observe.

But the man's aura grew stronger and stronger, and Mu Wanqing found it difficult to breathe.

The "Black Rose," tied to the door, seemed to sense its owner's danger and nervously pawed at the ground.

When the man once again looked her up and down with lewd eyes, Mu Wanqing finally couldn't resist and made a move.

Her first move was a signature hidden arrow attack, her arrows coated with a deadly poison that could kill even with the slightest scratch.

Following her usual fighting style, after activating the hidden dart, she would draw her sword and launch a preemptive attack, giving her opponent no chance to breathe.

However, she knew that the difference in strength between her and the man was too great, so after firing the hidden arrow, she turned around and pounced on her beloved horse.

As she mounted her horse, she didn't forget to unleash a volley of hidden arrows at the other horses tied up in the inn's courtyard.

She wasn't sure which one was the man's mount, but killing them all was the right thing to do.

The whole process was completed in one go, giving Zhang Cheng no chance to speak.

……

At first, Zhang Cheng didn't pay much attention when he saw the three small arrows coming in a triangular formation. He casually twirled the long stick in his hand and deflected all the arrows.

To be honest, Zhang Cheng was quite excited. This was the first original character he had encountered since his transmigration, and it would be a good opportunity to test his current skills.

Since he upgraded his soldiers to [Lv3 Elite], he has not encountered any opponents.

The perilous border region of Weizhou, which would be a near-death experience for most people, was like a resort to him.

However, his progress became very slow after reaching level 3, which is one of the reasons why he gave up the soldier class.

Now that he is a renowned swordsman, it is naturally inappropriate for him to take the initiative to bully a weak woman.

So he deflected the arrow and stood still, ready to see Mu Wanqing's next move, but he didn't expect Mu Wanqing to turn around and run away.

Huh? I remember this girl being quite brave, right? Did I somehow transmigrate into some version of Tian Long Ba Bu I've never seen before?

While Zhang Cheng was still in a daze, Mu Wanqing had already completed the final step of her escape plan.

The next moment, the entire town of Shaqiao heard a roar that sounded like that of a demon from hell—

"Mu! Wan! Qing! How dare you kill my horse!?"

Having already galloped more than ten zhang away, Mu Wanqing heard the man shout out her name, which made her even more certain that the man was coming for her. She immediately spurred her horse, "Black Rose," onward.

On the other side, Zhang Cheng looked at the dead yellow horse lying on the ground, his heart bleeding.

This horse was a fine horse that he had stolen from the Western Xia people when he faked his death. It had accompanied him all the way from Weizhou to Dali and was incredibly powerful. He never expected that it would die like this now.

Damn it, you think you can just walk away after offending this great hero? Little girl, do you know you've broken the law?

Zhang Cheng was certainly not going to let the matter rest.

Mu Wanqing's damage to others' property constitutes a crime, which is exactly what he, a chivalrous figure in the martial arts world, is looking for.

On the way south from Weizhou, whether it was because the public security was too good or because Zhang Cheng looked too reassuring, he didn't encounter a single petty thief, let alone those shady dealers or thieves who would kill for money.

But the case involving Mu Wanqing right now is a real, major case!

You should know that a good military horse is worth a lot of money, not to mention that several packhorses also died in the courtyard of the inn.

Zhang Cheng roughly estimated that once this "business" was completed, the progress of the role would be increased by at least 10%!

He picked up his whistle and took off after them.

Zhang Cheng doesn't know any light-body skills.

When he switched to the "Wandering Swordsman" class, his first thought was to choose a basic light-foot skill from the "Jianghu Skills" section to make up for his shortcomings as a soldier.

Unfortunately, for some reason, there is no option for "lightness skill" in "Jianghu Skills".

He had no choice but to settle for second best and chose a book called "The Great Art of Acupressure" as a foundation for his future study of martial arts in this world.

However, not having light-footed skills doesn't mean he can't catch up.

Zhang Cheng went through three levels during his soldier stage: [Lv1 Private], [Lv2 Elite Soldier], and [Lv3 Soldier].

In each of these three stages, he gained an ability that directly enhanced his physical abilities.

They are:

Iron Physique (Private): You have undergone rigorous training, and your physique far surpasses that of ordinary people. You have gained a certain degree of physical damage resistance and can temporarily ignore the effects of minor injuries through willpower.

Resilience Enhancement (Fierce Warrior): Your vitality and willpower are significantly increased. Resistance to negative mental effects such as fear and dizziness is enhanced, and mobility is greatly improved when severely injured. It also greatly enhances the effects of [Iron Physique].

Forged Through Trials and Tribulations (Elite Soldier): Your body is no longer just flesh and blood. It remembers the types of damage it has suffered and develops a certain degree of resistance and force-absorbing instinct when encountering similar attacks in the future. At the same time, it greatly enhances the effect of [Resilience Enhancement].

Based on this pattern, Zhang Cheng guessed that the [Soldier] class would have a passive skill that drastically stacks attributes at each level, and that it would synergize with the passive skill of the previous level, achieving a chain reaction of amplification with each level up.

With these triple boosts, Zhang Cheng's physical abilities far surpassed those of that yellow horse.

With each step he took, he channeled immense force into the ground, propelling himself forward a considerable distance in an instant.

He maintained this pace throughout, without slowing down at all, constantly closing the distance between himself and Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing, who was riding ahead, heard muffled thuds behind her, like the beating of war drums. She turned around and saw that the man from before had caught up with her.

So she turned around decisively and unleashed another barrage of hidden arrows.

Although Zhang Cheng could easily swing his bat to block, his momentum inevitably faltered, and by the time he started moving again, the distance had already widened.

He now deeply regrets it. If he had known this was a martial arts world, why did he obey the law so much?

If he still had his powerful bow, he could have easily shot this girl in the buttocks, instead of being ridden like a kite by the other side now.

I've decided. When Grandpa Zhang catches you, I'm going to give you a good beating.
