I have a martial arts panel.

Feiyun Prefecture.

Yunze Mountain.

At the foot of a mountain, Xu Ning slowly woke up.

In an instant, countless unfamiliar memories flooded his mind.

Xu Ning groaned, his head throbbing with pain.

After a long while, Xu Ning digested the unfamiliar memories, and the pain gradually disappeared.

"I've actually time-traveled!"

Xu Ning had no choice but to accept this bizarre fact.

He transmigrated to a martial arts world and became a peasant boy.

This young farmer, also named Xu Ning, went up the mountain to gather herbs today. He took a risk to pick a spiritual herb, but after finally obtaining it, he slipped and fell, injuring himself. His consciousness faded, and he was replaced by the current Xu Ning.

This is not a peaceful era.

Sectarian strife, state wars, family rivalries, banditry, and even occasional appearances of monsters causing chaos—in this era, human life is as cheap as grass.

He became an ordinary person in this era, struggling to survive.

"This is unbelievable..."

Xu Ning felt pain in several places on her body, but fortunately her mobility was not affected.

He slowly got up and saw the spiritual herb that his predecessor had risked his life to pick lying a few steps in front of him.

This medicinal herb is called Qingyu Grass, and it is very precious. It costs more than 500 taels of silver outside.

For ordinary farmers, this is an incredibly substantial income.

"Azure Jade Grass..."

Xu Ning hesitated for a moment, then walked to the jade grass and bent down to pick it up.

This jade grass is entirely emerald green and has a faint, pleasant fragrance.

Just from smelling it, Xu Ning actually felt the pain in his body lessen.

Just as Xu Ning was about to examine it closely, a flash of white light suddenly appeared before his eyes.

A screen of light appeared in the field of vision.

-

Energy detected: 6 units —

Is it absorbed?

whether

-

-

Name: Xu Ning

Martial Arts: Gale Blade Technique (Beginner) +

Available energy: 0 units

-

"this!"

Xu Ning couldn't believe it.

Isn't this the martial arts panel from my previous life's game? How did it suddenly appear in front of me?

Xu Ning rubbed her eyes vigorously.

The panel was still there; I wasn't seeing things.

Xu Ning suddenly realized.

"The transmigrator's cheat code...?"

Xu Ning took a deep breath and tried her best to calm herself down.

If the martial arts panel is truly useful, then I might have a chance to rise to prominence in this era.

"yes!"

With a thought, Xu Ning chose to absorb that energy.

"Energy absorption in progress... Absorption complete—"

-

Name: Xu Ning

Martial Arts: Gale Blade Technique (Beginner) +

Available energy: 6 units

-

The panel refreshed, and the available energy changed from 0 units to 6 units.

However, the jade grass in Xu Ning's hand suddenly dimmed and withered, turning into withered yellow weeds.

"Has the energy in the Jade Grass been absorbed?"

With 6 units of energy, Xu Ning focused his mind on the "+" symbol after the Gale Blade Technique and pressed it.

-

Consume 3 units of energy to upgrade Gale Blade Technique?

whether

-

"yes!"

Xu Ning confirmed.

This Gale Blade Technique was learned by Xu Ning from the elders in the village. He practiced it for almost three years, but due to his limited talent, he was stuck at the beginner level and could not improve further.

At this moment, the skill level of the Gale Blade Technique finally had a chance to improve further.

Sure enough, the panel refreshed the next moment.

-

Name: Xu Ning

Martial Arts: Gale Blade Technique (Minor Mastery) +

Available energy: 3 units

-

The level of the Gale Blade Technique has changed from beginner to minor mastery, and the available energy has increased to 3 units.

At the same time, the moment the panel refreshed, Xu Ning's previously rudimentary understanding of the Gale Blade Technique suddenly became profound.

He suddenly felt that he was extremely familiar with the moves and techniques of the Gale Blade Technique, as if he had practiced it day after day for years and could use it with ease.

Xu Ning raised his hand and gestured. Although he did not have a knife in his hand, he felt as if he had been holding a knife for a long time.

His heart immediately burned with excitement.

Xu Ning picked up the machete he used for self-defense in the mountains, and after confirming that the pain from his injuries had lessened, he began to perform the moves of the Gale Blade Technique from his mind.

Instantly, the wind howled through the air.

After executing his routine, Xu Ning took a deep breath, his eyes filled with excitement.

"This martial arts panel is truly a bug-like existence. Although the Gale Blade Technique is just an ordinary external skill, the ability to improve one's blade technique level in an instant is astonishing. According to the comprehension of ordinary martial artists in this world, it would take at least two or three years to master an external skill, but I did it in just a single breath..."

For a moment, Xu Ning felt a little anticipation for this era of martial arts conflict.

With this martial arts panel, I have the qualifications to walk the path to becoming a strongman.

Calming his mind, Xu Ning focused his attention once again on the "+" sign following the Gale Blade Technique.

He wants to improve further.

-

Consume 6 units of energy to upgrade Gale Blade Technique?

whether

-

"6 units of energy?"

Xu Ning frowned.

It takes 3 units of energy to upgrade the Gale Blade Technique from beginner to minor mastery, and the energy requirement doubles when upgrading from minor mastery to major mastery. However, I only have 3 units of energy left, which is obviously insufficient.

"no."

Xu Ning felt somewhat helpless, but not entirely disappointed.

With this martial arts panel, there will be plenty of opportunities to find elixirs or other energy sources to improve martial arts skills in the future.

"It's time to go home..."

Xu Ning glanced at the sky; the sun was already showing signs of setting.

He squatted down and picked up the herbs that had been scattered in his basket.

These herbs were ordinary herbs that had been picked previously; they were of average quality and not particularly valuable.

Xu Ning tentatively held the ordinary herbs in his hands to see if they also had any energy that he could absorb.

Disappointingly, the average quality herbs did not provide energy.

After tidying up, Xu Ning gripped the machete and returned along the route he remembered.

Xu Ning is currently in the area on the edge of the Yunze Mountains, where ferocious beasts often roam, so he must be careful at all times.

However, Xu Ning did not encounter any trouble on his return journey this time. After walking for about half an hour, he finally arrived at a village.

This is Taojiazhuang, where Xu Ning lives.

Xu Ning was not born and raised in Taojiazhuang, but came here a few years ago with her older sister Xu Lian after she got married.

Xu Ning and his sister Xu Lian originally lived in their own village, but a few years ago, bandits attacked the village, destroying it and killing their relatives and neighbors. Xu Lian happened to be out with her younger brother Xu Ning that day and escaped the calamity, but she lost her home from then on.

Thus, the two wandered from place to place, experiencing life and death several times in this chaotic world, before finally being taken in by the Tao family village.

Her older sister, Xu Lian, then married her brother-in-law, Tao Yunchuan.

Xu Ning thus became a resident of Taojiazhuang.

As the sun began to set, the outline of Zhuangluo began to fade in the distance.

From a distance, Taojiazhuang appears to be surrounded by stone walls, with clansmen patrolling the walls with weapons in hand.

At first glance, it looks like the entrance to a small town.

Taojiazhuang is a large village with a population of over three thousand. It is very wealthy and has a great influence in Kangyun County.

When Xu Ning arrived at the entrance of Taojiazhuang, he hesitated.

As a time traveler, Xu Ning still felt somewhat alienated from integrating into this new family.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Ning finally took a step.

This is something I'll have to face sooner or later.

Xu Ning entered the manor.

Taojiazhuang is a large village with a large population.

However, as someone from another family, the person from the previous life was never able to integrate into this community.

"Is this the place...?"

Following the route he remembered, Xu Ning arrived at an ordinary courtyard.

The gate to the courtyard was ajar, and the sound of chopping firewood could be heard from inside.

Xu Ning paused for a moment, then pushed open the door and went inside.

A strong, muscular man was seen chopping wood with an axe.

His hand movements were somewhat stiff, and his chopping motions were very uncoordinated.

"Xu Ning is back?"

The burly man heard the door open, looked up and saw Xu Ning, and smiled.

He put down his axe and walked over: "Give me the stuff, you can rest."

The strong man walked with a limp, clearly suffering from a leg ailment in addition to his clumsy hands.

Xu Ning recognized the man as her brother-in-law, Tao Yunchuan.

He was injured when he was young, which makes him less agile.

"Huh? Xu Ning, did you hurt yourself in the fall?"

Upon closer inspection, Tao Yunchuan noticed that Xu Ning's clothes were torn in several places, and he also had some minor injuries.

I tripped and fell while collecting herbs.

Xu Ning was still a little uncomfortable with Tao Yunchuan's concern.

"Are you alright?"

Tao Yunchuan asked again.

"without……"

Xu Ning waved his hand.

He doesn't feel any discomfort right now.

"That's good, that's good..."

Tao Yunchuan seemed relieved.

"Xu Ning is injured?"

At this moment, another young woman dressed in coarse linen clothes came out of the kitchen, her tone filled with tension and concern.

This young woman was Xu Ning's older sister, Xu Lian.
