Chapter 1 Nine Yellow Nine Swords Kyoto Base City, Raiden Martial Arts young man punched the boxing target one after another. "1215kg." "1195kg." "1196kg." "Xiao Zhan, take a rest. Tomorrow is the actual combat assessment for warriors. Don't make yourself too tired." A burly man with a strong build came over with a smile on his face and smiled at the thin young man in front of the boxing target. "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Tiger." The young man stopped with a smile, sat on the ground, wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, and took the water handed to him by the strong man. "That's right. In the path of cultivation, you should combine work and rest. Too much is as bad as too little. Don't work too hard!" The burly man sat down next to the young man and patted Lin Zhan on the shoulder.
Lin Zhan nodded, "I'm just afraid of embarrassing Brother Tiger. After the actual combat assessment, I will join your 'War Tiger Squad'. My strength must be acceptable, otherwise people will gossip about me!" Brother Tiger is called Zheng Hu, a mid-level warrior. Because he received the favor of Lin Zhan's parents who died early when he was young, he took good care of Lin Zhan. And Lin Zhan did a good job, practicing self-torture every day, which made Zheng Hu even more satisfied. Look, before Lin Zhan finished tomorrow's warrior combat assessment, he invited him to join the "War Tiger Squad" he founded. "I don't know who dares to gossip. I, Zheng Hu, have established a team, so it's nobody's business to say who I invite. Besides, I've seen your and Xiaolong's talent and hard work. You will have no problem catching up with me in the future." Zheng Hu waved his big hand like a palm leaf fan and said confidently. Feeling the concern, Lin Zhan nodded vigorously and smiled at Zheng Hu. It has been three years since he traveled to the Devouring Star world. Through hard training and good talent, he passed the quasi-warrior assessment at the age of 20, which is considered excellent. However, he is still far inferior to the evildoer like Luo Feng, the protagonist of the original novel. Even Zheng Hu's younger brother, Zheng Long, who is two years younger than him, has shown talent far greater than his own. Fortunately, his fingers were successfully awakened half a month ago. The moment the golden finger awakened, he was rewarded with a red skill - Nine Yellow Nine Swords. That’s right, it’s the swordsmanship of Jian Jiuhuang from Snow Blade. Sword, dragon, snake, Sword Two Twin Lotuses, The sword weighs three pounds. Sword Four Shu Brocade, Sword Five Thunder, The sword travels ninety-six thousand miles! Before the time travel, when Lin Zhan was watching The Snow Swordsman, the person he liked most was not Xu Fengnian, who made Nangong Pushe feel "Nangong was finally moved, and there would be no more Nineteen Stops in the world". He is not the sword god who said, "If Heaven had not given birth to me, Li Chungang, the sword path would have been dark forever." It is not "Emperor Wu's broken sword on the city wall, the second best king in the world, Xianzhi." But it’s Jian Jiuhuang, Old Huang, who is always sloppy and unkempt but gives people a friendly feeling!
An old servant leads a skinny horse in the snow. Follow the prince for six thousand miles. Once you cut off your thoughts, The sword box stands upright to fight Emperor Wu. He forged swords as a mortal for many years, and one day he understood the way of the sword and became a peerless swordsman, yet he was still able to live and act like an ordinary person. This kind of "lightness" in life made Lin Zhan admire and yearn for it. The part where Jian Jiuhuang sat on the wall of Emperor Wu City and looked at Beiliang was what made him feel the most uncomfortable. Now, coming to the world of Devouring the Stars, he actually acquired his swordsmanship. Thinking about the day in the future when I can control the sword with my own hands and reproduce the glory of "Nine Yellow Nine Swords", my heart can't help but feel warm. "It's almost done. I can go kill monsters tomorrow. According to the system's introduction, monsters will randomly drop 'Basics of Martial Arts'. I will soon be able to meet the requirements for learning Sword One." The function of Lin Zhan’s golden finger is very simple, it can kill enemies and explode their skills. The definition of "enemy" can be monsters or humans. That night, Lin Zhan had a dream. In the dream, he spent a lot of money to build a "sword box", forged 9 sharp swords, learned the "Nine Yellow Nine Swords", and fought freely among the monsters without any rivals. The next morning, Lin Zhan and Zheng Long went out under the leadership of Zheng Hu and boarded a bus to the assessment site outside Kyoto Base City. It was the first time for Zheng Long and Lin Zhan to leave the base city and they were curious about everything around them. The shape of the train is similar to the front of the high-speed train before the time travel, but it has no windows. The dark and thick unknown alloy completely encloses the carriage, leaving only ventilation grille openings the size of A4 paper. The layout inside the carriage is no different from that of a high-speed train, except that it is a bit crowded. "Shu~" A figure suddenly appeared on the big screen in the carriage. "Everyone, I'm from the Extreme Martial Arts School." An old man introduced the powerful strength and generous treatment of the Extreme Martial Arts School. Following closely, the leaders of Raiden Martial Arts School, the military, and the HR Alliance also introduced their own advantages. This is also a common practice. During the two official warrior assessments each year, when a large number of warriors gather, these four forces always start a "battle for talent". It can be seen that the order of introduction is ranked according to the strength of the forces. Those with strong power are ranked in front, and those with relatively weak power are ranked in the back. After becoming a formal warrior, you can freely sign a contract with a force without being forced. If you want, you can also be a free warrior, but when you gain "freedom", you will lose many convenient resources provided by various forces. For example, if you don’t join a faction, you won’t be able to enjoy discounts on items. Generally speaking, most warriors will sign a contract with a certain force. In Xia Country, most of the warriors will choose one of the three giants: Extreme Martial Arts School, Thunder and Lightning Martial Arts School, and the military.
In the carriage, the would-be warriors began to discuss among themselves. "Little dragon, which family do you plan to join?" Lin Zhan turned his head and looked at the thin boy Zheng Longdao beside him. Zheng Long rolled his eyes, pushed Lin Zhan with his arm and said, "I've told you so many times that my name is Zheng Long. You can call me Young Master Zheng or Young Master Long, but don't call me Little Dragon Man. It sounds so silly!" "Okay, little dragon man, I'll pay attention next time. Which faction do you want to join?" Seeing that Lin Zhan did not change his words, he immediately hit back, "What about you, Xiao Linzi, which faction do you want to join?" Lin Zhan smiled indifferently, "It doesn't matter, because no matter which faction I join, it won't affect my rapid growth. You choose the one that is most beneficial to your development. That way, when I suppress you with my strength, you will have nothing to say." "Arrogant, don't forget that during the quasi-warrior assessment, I was stronger than you even when I suppressed you. Are you so confident that you can surpass me? Suppress me?" "The facts will prove everything, just wait and see." Lin Zhan laughed. Zheng Long's talent is indeed very strong, much stronger than his elder brother Zheng Hu. His current talent is comparable to that of young Lin Zhan. At the young age of 18, he has reached the level of an intermediate warrior. In the future, he will have great hope of becoming a war god-level warrior. But Lin Zhan has the golden finger of "Killing Enemies and Exploding Power", which can make him stronger very quickly. As the leader of the 'Thunder Martial Arts School' assessment, Zheng Hu looked at the close relationship between Lin Zhan and Zheng Long with great satisfaction. What could be happier than the two only relatives in the world getting along well with each other? As for which faction they join, the 'democratic' Zheng Hu will not interfere. It is up to them to choose. As long as they become warriors and join his team, that's all. "Dear would-be warriors, the train is about to arrive at the station. Please be ready to get off the train!" A notification was given through the loudspeaker in the carriage and the train began to slow down. Lin Zhanjian's eyes suddenly opened. "The road to becoming a strong man has officially begun!"
