Three Towers Game

Chapter 351 Recognizing the Martial World by Sound

Reverse thinking allowed Wen Xishu to quickly gain a grasp of the entire game.

"In essence, the one standing here eating grapes and playing the baby-making game with the number one beauty in the martial arts world should be Liu Jianxin."

"I am the one who has mastered the Beginner's Sword Technique."

"If I were a newcomer to the martial arts world from Niujia Village, mastering the Beginner's Sword Technique..."

"Based on my experience from my previous life, I will find a way to max out the Beginner Sword Technique."

Every fan of Longxia martial arts games will have a passion for the game when playing this type of game.

"But interestingly, Liu Jianxin not only failed to upgrade the Initial Heart Sword Technique to its maximum level, but it was actually downgraded. However, he didn't care, since he had learned the even stronger Dragon Subduing Palm."

A smile appeared on Wen Xishu's lips:
"Fortunately, none of this happened."

Because Scorpion Knife is only a simulation, what Wen Xishu sees is all deduction.

"The world is dangerous, but you are even more dangerous. You disdain chivalry, but I insist that you be chivalrous."

"Let me guide you on how to navigate this world."

Wen Xishu quickly came up with a plan.

He stood up, and the grape-colored beauty beside him swayed like a snake:
"You seem to be very irritable. Do you need to cool down?"

Wen Xishu said:
"In this martial world, chivalry has been lost and people's hearts have become corrupted. As the leader of the martial arts alliance, I have decided to cultivate a righteous genius. Enough with the show-off, prepare the horses, I'm heading to Niujia Village."

The woman thought she had misheard and was greatly surprised.

……

……

Outside Niujia Village.

After taking the sword from the village, Liu Jianxin gave his father a mocking look.

Father Liu Jianguo, like an NPC, also gave instructions:
"The world of martial arts is vast and unimaginable. If I continue to fight against injustice and help the weak, I may gain the favor of a great hero."

Liu Jianxin inwardly scoffed; that kind of thinking was outdated. The current world of martial arts was one where everyone looked out for themselves.

Despite this, he was still his father, so he nodded and pretended to listen.

Liu Jianxin's journey has begun.

Just as predicted, Liu Jianxin soon encountered the caravan.

The head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) is called "Green-Faced Tiger," so Liu Jianxin can't just rob the goods directly; he needs to find a way to get help.

After observing for a while, Liu Jianxin noticed that Qingmianhu was extremely harsh and often beat and scolded his subordinates.

Such a lack of social skills and understanding of human relationships will inevitably lead to trouble sooner or later.

Liu Jianxin continued on his way and soon encountered bandits robbing him.

Everything went exactly as predicted. Liu Jianxin's performance and improvisational skills led him to actually blend in with the bandits.

So Liu Jianxin decided to rob a caravan with the bandits.

Liu Jianxin only wanted to make his first pot of gold in the underworld; he didn't care whether the money was clean or what methods were used.

Soon, just as simulated, the bandits took advantage of the镖师 (bodyguards/escorts)' dissatisfaction with their leader, Qingmianhu, and eventually got them all drunk.

Green-faced Tiger drank it himself.

So everyone was stunned, and then, just as Liu Jianxin had planned, they could divide the spoils.

Then he can report these robbers again.

But at that moment, a voice appeared in Liu Jianxin's mind.

You are about to acquire a fortune, but at that moment, you are surprised to discover that there is someone secretly protecting the goods. This person's martial arts skills are so high that none of you have noticed them!

[You knew that if this person appeared, you would all die, so you improvised and decided to use the Beginner's Sword Technique to stab the surrounding bandits, claiming that it was all just a charade to eliminate them.]

Liu Jianxin was shocked!
Who?
Who is talking to me?

He looked around.

There was no one else there.

But the words were so clear; it was a man's voice.

But who could achieve such terrifying telepathic transmission? There are probably only a handful of people in the martial arts world with such internal strength and skills.

Liu Jianxin was terrified, but he was even more terrified by what he heard.

There is another person?

How could so many bandits go completely undetected?

If that's the case, these bandits are doomed.

This is undoubtedly a moment that requires an immediate decision.

Liu Jianxin thought to himself, "The person who can transmit sound secretly must be much more powerful than the person hiding in the dark."

"They might be toying with me... or they might have already sent a message to someone else, waiting for us to kill each other?"

"If I don't take action, I'll just be killed as a bandit. If I do take action, even if I'm being fooled, I might have a chance to survive."

Liu Jianxin's mind worked quickly, and he immediately came up with an idea and a decision.

No sooner said than done, Liu Jianxin immediately activated the Beginner's Sword Technique, brandishing the Village Sword and thrusting it towards the leader, Zhi Duoxing.

Logically speaking, a novice swordsman would find it difficult to defeat a bandit who has mastered an intermediate swordsmanship technique—the Water Margin Swordsmanship.

Besides, the other side has more people.

But as Liu Jianxin followed the voice in his head and shouted:

"Everything I've done today is to suppress bandits. You still want to rob the caravan? Take this!"

Liu Jianxin was also unsure.

This "Original Heart Sword Technique" is said to have been passed down from a great swordsman to his father.

But Liu Jianxin despised his father, Liu Jianguo, from the bottom of his heart. He thought his father was a good-for-nothing peasant who could never leave Niujia Village.

What kind of great heroes could someone like that possibly meet?
But then, Liu Jianxin was utterly horrified, because countless terrifying sword energies surged out from the wooden sword.

But just as the robber was about to unleash the Water Margin sword technique, a flash of sword light appeared, and he was decapitated.

There was more than one sword beam.

Liu Jianxin was only using the sword technique from the original manual, but its power was astonishing.

The crisscrossing sword beams instantly turned these bandits into mutilated corpses.

This terrifying sword strike left Liu Jianxin stunned.

"How...how did I do that?"

You're curious about how your swordsmanship has reached such a level, and you begin to think that perhaps the Beginner's Sword Technique truly is a magical martial art.

But soon, the person outside the door interrupted your thoughts.

"Excellent! I never expected to see such a chivalrous swordsman wield such a sword after all these years!"

"Young man, I never expected you to wipe out this band of bandits all by yourself! Truly, a hero emerges from among the young!"

The newcomer held a sword in his left hand, had a cold and stern face, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was dressed in red.

Liu Jianxin suddenly thought of... the top few swordsmen in the martial arts world.

Jin Wuming! The divine sword in his left hand, Jin Wuming.

He had never met these people, of course, but occasionally, wandering storytellers would pass through Niujia Village, and at those times, Liu Jianxin would hear the names of these prominent figures.

What about Xiao Jianglong, the number one master of the Beggars' Sect, and Jin Wuming, the left-handed divine swordsman?

And some chivalrous figures with strange nicknames, such as Li Xunhuan's Flying Dagger who arrives just in time, and A Fei, the Swift Swordsman who alone cannot do it.

"You...you are!" Liu Jianxin exclaimed excitedly.

He had unexpectedly struck it lucky. He could sense that Jin Wuming had a strong liking for him.

Jin Wuming said:
"I have never seen your swordsmanship before, but it is very similar to that of a senior martial arts master."

Liu Jianxin said:
"This was passed down to me by my father. Was that senior a powerful figure?"

Jin Wuming said:
"Invincible under heaven, invincible in the sky."

This is an extremely exaggerated assessment.

"It's a pity I can't understand the essence of this sword technique. Nowadays, people's hearts are no longer what they used to be, and the spirit of chivalry has long been lost. The sword technique left by that senior back then is said to require a person with a chivalrous heart to unleash its power."

"Perhaps your swordsmanship is similar. Keep it up, you deserve a lot of credit for keeping the shipment safe. I owe you a favor. Here, take this sword."

"Don't worry, I will soon tell everyone in the martial world that a chivalrous young brother has received my sword, which I gave him willingly." Liu Jianxin obtained the item: Wuchang Sword.

Liu Jianxin brandished the Impermanent Sword, feeling only the sword light radiating from all directions, but the sword energy he had felt before did not appear.

Jin Wuming said:
"You actually have no internal energy at all, that's truly astonishing. It seems you haven't mastered the sword energy you just used?"

Faced with these words, Liu Jianxin finally nodded honestly.

Jin Wuming said:
"Perhaps this is the secret of swordsmanship, but it is also the problem you need to solve."

"Keep your original intention of justice. I hope to see you at the top of the martial arts world in the future."

Jin Wuming speaks in a very formulaic way, like an NPC.

Jin Wuming quickly dismissed Liu Jianxin.

Liu Jianxin was naturally overjoyed to have obtained such a powerful weapon.

Even with the most basic swordsmanship, this Unpredictable Sword could defeat that group of bandits.

But then he suddenly realized...

How did I become a chivalrous hero?

"At first, my plan was clearly to rob the caravan and then betray these bandits..."

"What a cruel twist of fate! What is that voice in my head...?"

For some inexplicable reason, he felt a magical force drastically altering his original trajectory.

However, Liu Jianxin thought that... Jin Wuming's gratitude was indeed more important than that little bit of money?
Especially... his own Unpredictable Sword, which came perfectly legitimately. There was absolutely no need to hide it.

Seems pretty good.

"But it's just luck... well, just luck. The martial world isn't child's play. What chivalry, what justice... those are all illusions."

……

……

Not long after Liu Jianxin walked away, a person appeared next to Jin Wuming.

"Alliance Leader, I have done what you asked me to do... Forgive my ignorance, but what is your intention in doing this?"

"This person is clearly malicious and wants to rob the caravan together."

The person referred to as the leader of the alliance was naturally Wen Xishu:

"I want him to level up and continuously enhance his chivalry, and I will also keep giving him hints."

Jin Wuming was increasingly puzzled:
"What kind of powerful character is he?"

Wen Xishu said:
"He possesses an invitation to another world, but it will only appear if he performs certain actions that align with the established pattern. What I want is the invitation. Never mind, you wouldn't understand anyway. Just focus on practicing your swordsmanship."

Jin Wuming tilted his head.

He truly didn't understand what the leader was saying.

What other world? What invitation? What organization? But isn't the biggest organization in the martial arts world our Martial Alliance?

Jin Wuming didn't understand, but it didn't matter. He had already finished his act.

……

……

You've decided to head to Linjiang City. You want to go to the black market there to exchange for sleeping pills. In your wandering the martial world, martial arts skills aren't the most important thing; survival is.

The voice appeared in Liu Jianxin's mind again.

At this moment, under the vast expanse of heaven and earth, Liu Jianxin looked around blankly and found no one there.

He felt very strange.

"Could it be that I've awakened some... some incredible opportunity?"

Liu Jianxin muttered to himself.

The voice seemed determined to tease Liu Jianxin:

Looking at your own hands, you recall the days you learned the Beginner's Sword Technique, and a thought suddenly occurs to you: Could it be... that I've cultivated a sword spirit?

"What the hell is a sword spirit?" Liu Jianxin exclaimed in surprise.

The owner of that voice seemed to know what Liu Jianxin was thinking.

What the heck is a sword spirit? A sword spirit is the spiritual energy you cultivate with your heart and soul after learning a certain sword technique. This spiritual energy seems to have a soul. Yes, that is me, I am your sword spirit.

You can summon me by shouting "Hey, Blade & Soul!"

Liu Jianxin suspected he was going a little crazy.

The owner of this voice was none other than Wen Xishu, the super martial arts alliance leader who possessed top-level martial arts skills, top-level techniques, and mastered the power of strange sequences, combining various power systems together.

Wen Xishu sighed, "This Liu Jianxin still hasn't experienced enough."

If this were any other reader of this book, they would instantly accept that they have awakened a cheat system.

Yes, Wen Xishu is Liu Jianxin's magic touch.

Of course, he's more like a mentor in the martial arts world.

No matter what heinous and despicable acts Liu Jianxin might commit, Wen Xishu would eventually turn him into a chivalrous hero.

This is a bit like someone who's just being idle and has nothing better to do.

Killing Liu Jianxin would also achieve a level 7 completion rate.

But in doing so, Wen Xishu permanently lost the opportunity to explore this story. If the right thing is too easy, then perhaps there is a more correct, but not so easy, way.

He really wanted to find out if Jianxin and Jianxin were related.
Of course, most importantly, he also needs to get an "invitation letter".

……

……

Linjiang City.

Liu Jianxin indeed went to the black market and bought anesthetic. However, there had been rumors circulating on the black market recently that a chivalrous young man had wiped out bandits entrenched in a certain area.

Without a doubt, this refers to Liu Jianxin.

For the first time, Liu Jianxin experienced the benefits of doing good deeds.

But he didn't change his plan; he still planned to go to the restaurant and see if he could meet any martial arts heroes.

Then, get close to the other party, knock them out, and steal their equipment, skills, and valuables.

Of course, what Liu Jianxin didn't know was...

His every behavioral tendency was known to the "Sword Spirit".

Because the Blade Spirit - Wen Xishu - can use the Scorpion Dagger to deduce and simulate.

Wen Xishu also noticed... even after correcting Liu Jianxin's behavior, the second simulation—

Liu Jianxin will still betray Xiao Jianglong and kill him to gain honor.

Liu Jianxin remains a person with a dark heart.

At this very moment, Xiao Jianglong sat opposite him, eating meat and drinking wine in large bowls.

This was also the first time Wen Xishu had ever seen someone with such heroic spirit.

Of course, in this martial arts world, good people like Xiao Jianglong are about to experience the darkness of the martial arts world.

Everything that followed was actually related to the Martial Arts Alliance, to which Wen Xishu belonged.

Because Xiao Jianglong refused to submit to the Martial Alliance, the Martial Alliance had always wanted to eliminate him. However, the Beggar Clan was widespread, and Xiao Jianglong's martial arts were astonishing, growing stronger against stronger opponents, so they never had a chance.

Liu Jianxin soon sat down at the same table as Xiao Jianglong.

Liu Jianxin ordered several kilograms of beef and several jars of fine wine. Of course, he had already made arrangements to ensure that his wine was diluted with water.

Liu Jianxin also knew that Xiao Jianglong was still wary of him at this moment, so he couldn't administer the anesthesia too early.

The first thing I need to do is to build a good relationship with a fool like Xiao Jianglong who can make friends just by drinking.

Still have to wait.

Logically, everything should be as predicted.

But soon, Liu Jianxin felt the magic of fate again.

He's being forced to play the hero again.
