Chapter 1 The World of Ghosts
The sun gradually sets in the west, and the golden sunset shines softly on the earth.
The Heiyan Mountains, Chengjiazhuang at the foot of the mountain, and the continuous courtyards of thousands of households are all shrouded in the sunset.
In the center of Chengjiazhuang, a huge martial arts training ground enclosed by a wooden fence.
"Ah Yuan, I'll go first. A sturdy young man in coarse cloth and sweating profusely shouted at the figure in the martial arts training ground.
"Well, you go back first, and I'll practice for a while. In the martial arts training field, a slender young man did not look back, still practicing sword techniques.
The young man's movements are vigorous, the waist and hips are one, and between the opening and closing of the movement and static, it can be seen that the foundation is deep.
Burst!
Laugh at!
Suddenly, the young man practiced a set of knife techniques, and the chain splitting out, the human knife was one, the clouds flowed, and the knife light seemed to rush to the face.
The skills revealed by this set of knife techniques cannot be obtained by ordinary people without decades of hard practice.
The sturdy young man looked at Cheng Yuan, with a look of envy and admiration in his eyes.
Cousin Cheng Yuan, who became an internal martial artist in just nineteen years old, was the first person of their young generation in Chengjiazhuang.
Suddenly, a plainly dressed and delicate girl appeared at the door of the martial arts training ground, poked her head and shouted to Cheng Yuan: "Brother, go back to the third uncle's house for dinner!"
This beautiful girl is Cheng Yuan's sister, named Cheng Yu.
"Xiaoyu, you eat first, I told the third uncle in the morning, I'll go back later. ”
Cheng Yuan still didn't look back, and continued to practice knives.
Cheng Yu also knew the reason why his brother had been cultivating hard during this time, and said with concern: "Brother, don't practice and get hurt!"
The girl turned and walked away.
In the huge martial arts training ground, only Cheng Yuan was left to practice alone, and his figure and the mottled shadow of the wooden fence fused together.
The sun set silent, and the last rays of sunlight disappeared into the sky.
The surrounding darkness fell, the dry and messy wooden fences around the martial arts training ground, and the mottled shadows on the ground, faintly revealing a strange atmosphere.
Practicing the knife continuously, Cheng Yuan's physical strength temporarily reached the limit, and he slowly stopped his movements and breathed deeply.
The slightest internal strength contained in the qi and blood nourishes the whole body, making Cheng Yuan's whole body crispy and numb, quite comfortable.
He threw a punch with a terrifying force that exploded through the muscles of his legs, waist, spine, and body, accompanied by an internal force that blasted directly out of his arm.
Boom!
It was like a muffled thunder in the air, and his fist even roared sharply.
The explosive power of this punch reaches a thousand catties.
It is enough to kill ordinary jackals and seriously injure lion tigers.
Cheng Yuan withdrew his fist, his hand hanging down to his side, and his eyes were deep.
Internal strength martial arts, the body has reached the limit of the human body, and there is a thousand catties of power between the explosions of gestures.
In the previous life, Blue Star, this is completely Superman.
That's right, Cheng Yuan traveled to this world from the technologically advanced Blue Star.
The physique of the people in this world is far beyond that of ordinary people in the previous life, and any adult strong man has hundreds of catties of strength.
When he first arrived in this world, Cheng Yuan saw people casually lifting a hundred-pound weight and jumping three or four meters, and he felt very excited, excited that he had come to a strange and extraordinary world.
However, Cheng Yuan, who traveled not long ago, discovered that there are ghosts in this world, and there is a great terror!
Ghosts are rampant in the world, and mortals are like ants.
According to folk legends, only celestial beings can compete with ghosts.
......
Just as Cheng Yuan was pondering.
Suddenly, thousands of miles away, on the top of a mountain in the distance, deep in the woods.
A black shadow suddenly emerged from the shadows of the mountains and forests, faintly and gloomy.
In the martial arts training field, Cheng Yuan's eyes were condensed, and with the strong physical eyesight of this world, even if he was thousands of miles away, he could clearly see the specific appearance of the black shadow.
It was a haunting and distorted black gas, which seemed to be humanoid, but had no specific body or face.
Suddenly, the faceless and headless humanoid black gas turned his head to "look" at Cheng Yuan-
Terrifying!
The moment he came into contact with the "sight" of the humanoid black qi, Cheng Yuan's cold hair suddenly exploded, this is the fear from the essence of life!
Under the sight, there seemed to be some kind of cold and gloomy atmosphere, enveloping Cheng Yuan.
This is a ghost thing called a mountain ghost!
It's also the weakest ghost in this world.
But even the weakest of the ghosts...... Only the top mortal warriors who have reached the peak of their experience, martial arts, and physical fitness, and are one in a million, can barely compete with the mountain ghosts!
After more than ten years of hard work, Cheng Yuan has tempered his internal strength and reached the limit of the human body.
But in front of the "mountain ghost", an internal martial artist like Cheng Yuan is just weak food!
Cheng Yuan stared coldly at the ghostly thing in the distance, although his body was instinctively frightened, but he was quite calm intellectually.
Mountain ghosts can't enter the village, and there are forbidden stone tablets set by heaven and man in the village.
Because of the existence of the forbidden stone stele, mortal villages like Chengjiazhuang can survive in this terrifying world.
Thousands of meters away, on the top of a distant mountain, the humanoid black qi withdrew its "line of sight" and slowly disappeared into the shadows of the mountain forest in a strange and indescribable way.
Cheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then really relaxed, only to find that his back was full of wet cold sweat.
He simply took off his clothes and folded them on the ground to the side, revealing his slender and muscular upper body.
The dirt floor of the martial arts training ground has been trampled by the men of Chengjiazhuang for hundreds of years, and it has long been extremely solid.
Scold!
Cheng Yuan directly lucked, stuck the long knife in his hand directly into the ground, and then called out in his heart:
"System. ”
In front of him, a virtual panel that only Cheng Yuan could see was quietly unfolded.
"Name: Cheng Yuan
Realm: Inner strength is complete (not into the stream)
Technique: "Thirteen Styles of Sharp Knife" (3rd layer)
Root Cause: Suffering
Pain Force: None (958/1000)"
When this body was six years old, Cheng Yuan crossed over.
It wasn't until he was sixteen years old that Cheng Yuan woke up to this long-overdue system.
Although it was a little late, because of this system, Cheng Yuan was able to become the first person of the young generation in Chengjiazhuang for more than ten years.
It is precisely with this system that Cheng Yuan has real confidence in this terrible and unknown world.
It's just that the way this system is used is very ......
Cheng Yuan took out a small cloth bag from his waist and unfolded it, and inside were more than a dozen extremely slender silver needles.
His face was not very good-looking, so he picked up a silver needle, aimed it at a certain acupoint on his body, and carefully stabbed it in.
"Shhh
The moment the silver needle pierced into the acupoint, the intense pain suddenly hit, and Cheng Yuan couldn't help but take a hard breath of cold air.
"Gain 1 pain point. ”
"Gain 1 Pain Points"
Continuous system prompts continue to sound.
"Come again!"
Cheng Yuan gritted his teeth and stabbed five silver needles into his body in a row, each of which was on an acupoint that could stimulate human pain.
These silver needles were all asked for by Cheng Yuan and Uncle Li Chu in the village, and the knowledge of these acupoints was also told to Cheng Yuan by Uncle Li Chu.
"Ah~!"
Piercing into six acupoints in a row, Cheng Yuan's pain suddenly increased tenfold, and even with his always tenacious will, he couldn't help but roar uncontrollably.
Cheng Yuan's whole body tensed, fine cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and his face turned a little pale with pain.
"Gain 3 pain points. ”
"Gain 3 pain points. ”
"Gain Pain ....."
A series of system prompts sounded, and in Cheng Yuan's system panel, the pain value continued to rise.
Finally, when the value in parentheses after the pain value reaches 1000/1000, the panel suddenly changes.
"The power of pain: a drop. (0/1000)”
Finally, another drop of pain condensed. ”
Although Cheng Yuan sighed, he still didn't stop, and continued to endure constant intense pain, accumulating pain points.
In the dimness of the evening, a low roar of pain continued to sound in the empty martial arts training ground, with some terrible meaning.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the frequency of the system's prompt became slower and slower, and Cheng Yuan pulled out the silver needle on his body with a pale face.
The information in the panel becomes:
"Pain Force: One Drop (98/1000)"
"It hurts, this broken system. ”
Cheng Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, breathed deeply, and relaxed his body, and then looked at the system panel with joy.
"This is the fifth drop of painful power condensed!"
This system, when Cheng Yuan feels physical pain, he will get pain points.
Every 1,000 pain points accumulated, the system condenses a drop of pain power.
The power of pain is incomparably mysterious, and it can improve the physical realm or martial arts.
At the beginning, Cheng Yuan's will and body were far less strong and tenacious than they are now.
Relying on self-abuse, it took him a year to get the first drop of painful power.
Using the first drop of painful power on the physical realm, Cheng Yuan's body explosive power increased from three hundred catties to nearly five hundred catties in just two months.
Later, as Cheng Yuan's techniques gradually became proficient, his will and body increased to the limit, and the speed at which he obtained the power of pain became faster and faster.
With long-term exercise, and the condensed second and third drops of painful power.
Two months before Cheng Yuan was nineteen years old, his body exploded into a thousand catties.
The explosive strength of the body reached 1,000 catties, and Cheng Yuan's body naturally tempered his internal strength and became an internal strength martial artist.
This is also the limit of this world, mortals.
After that, the fourth drop of painful power, except for making his muscles and bones grow a little more, and his internal strength was more abundant, there was no other change.
Therefore, the fifth drop of pain power that he got now, Cheng Yuan chose to use it in martial arts for the first time.
"Thirteen Styles of Sharp Blades, Promotion!"
Cheng Yuan's heart moved, and the drop of painful power in the system panel disappeared, and the "Thirteen Styles of Sharp Knife" in the panel radiated light.
In an instant, Cheng Yuan suddenly felt that his mind was filled with countless uses, skills, experiences and inspirations about the knife technique of "Thirteen Styles of Sharp Knife".
He couldn't help but pull out the long knife on the ground beside him, and couldn't wait to try it.
