Chapter 1 Top-Level Understanding

Dark and cold.

When Xu Bai woke up, he found himself lying in a dark and damp place.

The ground was covered with withered straw, but it couldn't stop the cold feeling.

Chaotic memories came, and when he absorbed them, he already understood the environment he was in.

Crossed.

This was the first thought.

Caught.

This was the second thought.

This is Sheng County of the Great Chu State, but not inside Sheng County, but a mountain far away from Sheng County, called Gouwei Mountain, because the mountain looks like an inverted dog's tail.

There is a bandit village on Gouwei Mountain, called Menghuzhai.

He is in the cell of Menghuzhai at this time.

The original body was a bodyguard of Sheng County Fulong Escort Agency. The escort agency just received a trip, and the original body followed it out of Sheng County.

But before they walked far, the bandits of Menghuzhai robbed them.

It stands to reason that they deliberately bypassed Menghuzhai, but they never expected that Menghuzhai, as if they knew their location in advance, had prepared an ambush in advance.

The escort agency had several good fighters, but they were shot to death by arrows before the fight even started.

The original body and a dozen escorts were captured alive and locked up in the Tiger Village prison.

In the words of the Tiger Village, those who were alive could still earn a ransom, so they were able to survive until now.

After sorting out all his thoughts, Xu Bai supported himself on the ground and stood up, with pain coming from the back of his head.

Hands were wrapped in chains, and one end of the chain was embedded in the wall.

The beginning of hell, nothing more than that.

Xu Bai was very clear about his current situation.

Others had their families to redeem them, but he was penniless.

All his family members had passed away, and he was still living in the house of his dead uncle. Who would come to redeem him?

Fortunately, his original body was not stupid, and he did not say these things.

Otherwise, he would not have had time to cross over and would have directly met the King of Hell.

The back of his head was still aching, and Xu Bai could not help but touch it and found a large swelling.

"What a lack of common sense, hitting someone in the back of the head, this is not just knocking people unconscious, it might kill them!" He could not help but complain in his heart.

The iron chain was heavy, and there were more than a dozen colleagues next to him, tied up like him.

Standing like this, his hands felt a little sore.

Xu Bai looked along the iron chain, and his eyes suddenly froze.

It was just a casual look, but he found that there seemed to be scratches at the end of the iron chain.

The scratches were engraved on the wall, leaving white lines, which were particularly conspicuous in the dim environment.

It was so dark here that there was no window. Apart from the oil lamp outside the railing, the wall itself looked a bit strange.

Xu Bai initially thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes hard and looked again.

There were indeed random scratches on the wall, and it wasn't his eyes that were seeing things.

Now that he was in a desperate situation, he couldn't care too much. He walked a few steps to the wall and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

Just as his hand touched the wall, Xu Bai saw something unusual.

A faint blue light condensed and finally turned into a golden progress bar with an empty space in the middle.

He tried to let go of his hand to see if the progress bar would disappear.

When he let go of his hand, the progress bar in front of him still existed, and even continued to rise at a slow speed, and did not disappear.

"What is this?"

Xu Bai was surprised and touched it again.

The progress bar still rose slowly, regardless of whether he touched it or not.

Whether he touched the wall or not, it was the same speed.

Xu Bai fell into deep thought and tried to look away. After a while, he looked at the wall again.

This time the progress bar did not change. When he looked at the wall, the progress bar began to rise.

"Just watching it, it will rise?" Xu Bai guessed.

Although he didn't know what the progress bar meant, he had to try it with this strange thing.

In the dark cell, Xu Bai had chains on his hands and stared at the scratches on the wall.

The progress bar was rising slowly, and it was unknown how long it had passed before it was finally full.

When the progress bar reached the maximum level, a golden light flashed.

Xu Bai felt his head buzzing, a strange airflow in his body, and a line of blue light appeared in front of him.

[You learned the bone-breaking knife technique and bone-breaking mind technique by observing the knife marks on the wall, and automatically upgraded to the maximum level. ]

After this line of text, it gradually disappeared, replaced by another line of text.

[Name: Xu Bai. ]

[Realm: Ninth-rank Warrior. ]

[Bone-breaking Sword Technique (Level 1): Full Level. ]

[Bone-breaking Heart Technique (Level 1): Full Level. ]

[Comprehension: Full Level. ]

This is my system daddy?

Xu Bai was startled, but he quickly reacted and lowered his head to think.

Just now, through the light blue text, he learned that the scratches on the wall were knife marks, and he obtained the sword technique and heart technique by observing the knife marks?

The words "Level 1" and "Full Level" followed the sword technique, proving that the level of the bone-breaking sword technique is not high, but he has automatically learned it.

As for the subsequent comprehension, the full level of comprehension may be the cause of the golden finger.

Just stare at it, and when the progress bar is full, he can gain abilities through comprehension.

Everything is linked to comprehension.

"Ninth-rank Warrior..."

Xu Bai felt that the airflow in his body was constantly swirling.

Searching the memory in his mind, he learned that this is the unique true qi of a warrior.

More importantly, his bone-breaking knife skills and mental skills have reached the maximum level.

According to the memory of the original body, he has understood the meaning of a warrior.

The original body was just a low-level warrior before. To put it simply, he only knew some farming skills and could only deal with two or three strong men.

If there were more strong men, he would be sweating all over.

It's different now. Xu Bai is now a ninth-rank warrior.

Compared with the second-rate warriors, the ninth-rank warriors are in heaven and the second-rate warriors are on earth.

Xu Bai looked down at the chain on his hand and thought that it would be nice to have a knife.

With the golden finger, his mind became active.

According to the information from Sheng County, the leader of the Tiger Village is a second-rate warrior.

He is now a ninth-rank warrior. As long as he plans properly, it is not a problem to get out of here.

What's more, he can play more.

There are still a dozen colleagues lying around. Xu Bai dragged the chain and came to the railing.

"Come on! Is there anyone!"

In the quiet cell, Xu Bai shouted.

Not long after, two bandits came in from outside with long, sharp swords.

"What are you shouting for? Be careful. I'll give you two knives and kill you!"

Xu Bai didn't say anything, but looked at one of the bandits.

The bandit had a stack of paper and a pen in his hand.

Xu Bai's commotion also woke up the unconscious escorts around him.

They knew where they were, and they were all silent. Some of them were terrified and huddled in the corner.

"Be honest." The bandit holding a pen and paper opened the door and threw the pen and paper on the ground: "Write down your situation honestly. When the ransom comes, you will be safe."

The bright sword shone with a chill.

Xu Bai stared at the paper and pen on the ground, but he had other thoughts in his mind.

Will it be safe if I write it?

Not necessarily.
