Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 10 Great increase in strength
[Common-level Soldier Simulation Training Scroll: 5000 points]

As soon as Lu Ming opened the data panel, he was drawn to what appeared before him.

Five thousand points—that's the highest level of item he can redeem right now.

I still have over 6,000 points left, so I might as well give it a try.

With a determined effort, Lu Ming redeemed the item.

Then, some information came to mind.

This training scroll, once used, allows you to simulate battles with some strong opponents, increasing your combat experience and insights, and nurturing yourself, just like you have actually participated in a battle, comprehensively improving your overall qualities.

Now is not the time to hesitate.

Lu Ming immediately used the scroll.

The next moment, everything went black before his eyes. When he opened them again, he found that everything had changed.

I found myself in a desolate wasteland.

Dark clouds rolled across the sky, and the north wind howled.

A suffocating atmosphere permeated the space, surrounded by countless people.

They formed square formations, holding long spears, and marched forward.

A young man stood beneath a large banner bearing the character "Zhao," holding a sword in one hand and making a clanging sound.

However, Lu Ming couldn't hear his voice because of the distance.

[Simulated Battlefield: Battle of Changping]

Opponent: Qin Shi Huang's elite troops

[Number of drills: 10]

Lu Ming was somewhat bewildered.

Am I Zhao Jun?
Then, the front formation engaged the enemy, and a dense rain of arrows fell from the sky.

As the sound of sharp weapons tearing through flesh rang out, rows of Zhao soldiers fell.

Then, they saw the Qin army, dressed in black armor, charging towards them from all directions.

Ignoring everything else, Lu Ming joined the battle.

In the crowd, he encountered his first opponent, an old soldier around fifty years old. Up close, one could see that the man had a mouthful of yellow teeth and had lost one of his front teeth.

But as soon as they started fighting, Lu Ming sensed that this veteran was very strong.

The power emanating from his withered forearm almost knocked his weapon away when he was caught off guard.

However, it is, after all, a Body Tempering Realm cultivation level.

After dodging the old soldier's attack once again, he moved aside.

He turned and swept the spear horizontally.

"boom!"

The old soldier's head fell off.

But the next moment, Lu Ming felt a darkness before his eyes as a Qin soldier with a deeply furrowed face chopped off his head.

This scroll offers ten opportunities to participate in battle.

When Lu Ming opened his eyes again, he had entered the battlefield once more.

This time, it was just the beginning of the battle.

However, he made a slight improvement compared to the first time. After killing two Qin warriors, he was pierced through the chest with a spear.

The third time, he killed four people and was beheaded again.

The fourth time, he killed seven people before being stabbed to death by a hail of spears.

On the tenth occasion, which was also the end of the war, he was killed by a heavily armored general as soon as he appeared. He had no way to avoid that sword strike; it was a crushing defeat of strength and a perfect display of skill.

Moreover, he vaguely sensed that there seemed to be a mysterious power emanating from the general.

Even if one were at the same level as him, he would probably find it difficult to match him.

Before he died, he heard someone call out to him as Bai Qi.

"Bang!" Then, he felt as if a string in his mind had snapped.

I've learned a lot.

When he came to his senses, Lu Ming opened his eyes.

"Ah!" A scream rang out.

Looking up, he saw Li Xirou's voice. She was backing away, looking at him with a look of fear in her eyes.

"Xi Rou, what's wrong?"

A deep, hoarse voice rang out.

Li Xirou didn't speak for a moment before she reacted.

She ran a few steps and hugged Lu Ming.

Large tears fell down.

Lu Ming could only offer quiet words of comfort.

Only after Li Xirou calmed down did she say that Lu Ming was terrifying.

His eyes were bloodshot, and there was a faint black mist on his face.

Lu Ming knew that this was a side effect of going through one life-or-death battle after another.

Seeing that it was getting late, he comforted Li Xirou until she fell asleep.

They started checking his body.

I could clearly feel that my knife strikes were faster and more ruthless.

Moreover, each time the blade strikes, something unseen and intangible accompanies it, making his attacks even more powerful.

He felt he could easily win if he were to fight his past self now.

"what is it?"

Lu Ming found it somewhat strange.

Then, a feeling of weakness came over me.

This feeling is like all the energy and vitality in my body is being drained.

Lu Ming quickly redeemed a bowl of Body Tempering Soup in the shop.

After taking it, I felt a little better, but it was still not satisfactory.

"effective!"

He gritted his teeth and exchanged for another Body Tempering Pill.

After taking it this time, my physical condition improved a lot.

Moreover, his cultivation level had broken through at some point, reaching the early stage of Bone Forging.

The Golden Bell Shield has also broken through to the second level.

Their strength has also increased dramatically.

To reach the Bone Forging Realm, one's strength must exceed two thousand.

The strength at the initial stage of bone forging is about 2,300 jin.

However, Lu Ming felt that he could lift 2,500 to 2,600 pounds without any problem.

In other words, his true combat strength is already comparable to the mid-stage of Bone Forging.

Although this time, all the points were used up.

But the gains were also significant.

Lu Ming was very satisfied.

Then, they walked towards the front yard.

None of the people from the Hundred Households Office left.

Five armor-piercing crossbows were fixed to the roof.

The others, carrying long knives, waited in the courtyard.

Some veterans are sharpening their spears.

They were listless, showing no signs of the tension that preceded the great battle.

Zhang Xun hurried over at this moment. "Sir, this afternoon we received news that someone from the Zhang family went up the mountain."

Going up the mountain, naturally, meant asking the bandits for help.

This goes without saying.

This is a common tactic used by the Zhang family.

It seems they've really been pushed to the limit, and there's a hint of them going all in.

"Have you eaten?"

"Your Excellency, everyone has eaten. Madam brought out several bags of rice and even saved some for you."

As he spoke, Zhang Xun had already walked to the side and taken out a bowl of rice and a pot of meat.

Lu Ming didn't stand on ceremony and started eating heartily.

Today's battle is inevitable.

Having a full stomach is the most important thing.

Just after dinner, Sun Tian's voice rang out from the rooftop.

"Sir, someone's here!"

He lowered his voice, seemingly a little nervous.

Lu Ming threw down his chopsticks and went up to the roof.

"Wow, quite a few people have come."

he said to himself.

Then they saw a large number of figures approaching the Hundred Households Office.

They were openly carrying torches.

As the firelight illuminated the scene, he could vaguely make out that the leader was a burly man sitting on a horse, directing his men to approach.

There were many people, more than two hundred, all of them were fierce bandits who had come down from the Black Mountain.

Name: Li Xiong

[Cultivation Level: Mid-stage Bone Forging]

[Ping Shen's Deeds: Joined the Black Mountain Tiger Roaring Peak at the age of eighteen]
In the same year, he followed the leader down the mountain to plunder, killing two merchants with his knife.

At the age of nineteen, due to his ferocity and cruelty, he was chosen by the gang leader and adopted as his son, thus beginning his life of crime.

At the age of thirty-five, he participated in a massacre of refugees, killing nearly a thousand people.

At the age of thirty-six, he successfully seized power, killed the chief of the stronghold and his confidants, and became the peak master of Tiger Roar Peak. The villagers in the vicinity have been oppressed by him for many years, and he remains rampant to this day.

[Mission: Slay Lu Ming, the newly appointed centurion of Fenglei Town]

[Overall brutality level: 10000 points]

Killing it will grant 10000 Chaos Points.
