Looking at the panel displaying his attributes which had been reduced to beginner level, being someone who had cleared twelve primary meridians and eight extraordinary meridians, with addition to successfully founded internal circulation, one of the five God-ranked players in Great Pugilistic World, Lin Yi, there wasn't a single trace of surprise or frustration in his heart. Because he had travelled through time and space.

From his memories, he came to know he had travelled through time and space to Great Pugilistic World, the world where he once fought and sacrificed for.

However, previously he came into this world as a gamer, but this time he was really alive in this pugilistic world.

He who never frowned when playing game, was frowning right now he was in big trouble!

The pugilistic world incorporated the majority of factions and skills from wuxia novels. Numerous frequently heard factions existed here, for example: Shaolin, Wudang, Quanzhen, Huashan, etc.

Various top-tiered skills were passed down: Nine Yang Manual, Nine Yin Manual, Star Shifting Technique, Six Meridians Divine Swords, Lingbo Footwork, Taichi, Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, Tendon-Altering Sutra, Northern Darkness Divine Arts, Absolute Direction Dominator Arts, Nine Swordplays of Dugu, Sunflower Manual, etc.

However,

This world was a cruel one. This was a world belonged to martial artists and definitely not belonged to commoners.

The imperial court was merely a puppet. It was an organisation elected by various major factions to keep commoners in order. It was like rearing pigs which worked and toiled only to support the major factions to keep their dominance.

Although imperial court had the six doors as an seizure division to manage pugilistic world affairs, the higher-ups of this division was composed of people from various major factions after all. Thus, they would just turn a blind eye to situations where martial artists bully commoners.

Surviving in this world was extremely hard for commoners. They might even get hacked by martial artists with just even slightest bit of carelessness, without any chance of reasoning.

What was more, that wasn't the cruelest part.

What was more cruel was, because of the dissatisfaction towards domination of major reputed factions; the evil cults, with Ming Cult and Sun Moon Holy Cult as leaders, led countless evil and crooked doors and waged war against those from major reputed factions.

Numerous small doors and sects were annihilated, though various unknown doors and sects were also established due to this. This marked the beginning of warring period of pugilistic world.

In the midst of war between martial artists, commoners suffered the most. Countless lives were lost and lost their homes.

During the warring period of pugilistic world, where martial artists only ensured their own safety, commoners' lives were as weak as weeds!

Lin Yi was facing a bigger trouble right now he was kidnapped!

Through his memories, the current him was the only son of highly-respected Squire Lin of Yu City, who owned more than sixty thousand hectares of farmland[1], a bona fide local tycoon.

Logically speaking, such a figure like him couldn't have been able to be kidnapped!

However, the one who took action this time wasn't some petty bandits. It was done by a bandit group with fierce reputation within a radius of a hundred miles[2], the Black Wind Bandits!

Lin Yi frowned his brows tighter as martial artists even dared to take actions against local tycoons now. This meant that the dominance of major reputed factions were being challenged. Everywhere was under turmoil, thus those major reputed factions had no extra people to take care of something like this.

In other words the warring period of pugilistic world was fast approaching!

As someone who had experienced the warring period of pugilistic world personally, he clearly understood how martial artists in this era led a life under constant imminent crisis, while commoners had it worse as they didn't even have any means of self-protection.

They might even be cut down for no reason just like weeds!

There was no guarantee in life!

Lin Yi tightened his brow and tried to think more clearly. In the end, he made himself a list of three things to do right now.

Firstly: to escape out of Black Wind Stockade as soon as possible. The best scenario would be to exterminate all the members here as he didn't want to leave any possible troubles behind. Otherwise, even if he managed to escape, with his current beginner level attributes and inept of martial arts, he would just end up being caught again, with the possibility of endangering his family members! Only by exterminating them, he could ensure the safety of his family and himself.

Secondly: After successfully escaped, learning martial arts is a must. It would be the best if he could find a major reputed faction and become its disciple, so he could have the opportunity to learn superior martial arts. Since this was a real world, the probability of learning superior martial arts would be harder compared to when he was playing game. Only by joining a major reputed faction, the probability would be higher.

Thirdly: to become stronger in the least time possible. In addition to become stronger personally, owning power is a must! In short, become stronger personally, have powerful friends, and lots of loyal subordinates.

Only by this, he could have the qualification to survive in this fast approaching warring period world!

All of this was done in order to survive in this great pugilistic world!

Of course, as one of the five players who obtained God-rank title in Great Pugilistic World, Lin Yi had greater ambitions. But those ambitions had to be put off until he had managed to do three things he listed before and had the ability of self-protection.

He was locked in a woodshed. The door and windows were tightly sealed. With his strength of a fifteen years old boy, he could not break out of the window at all.

He discarded the thought of forcefully breaking through the door and started to think rationally on how to get out of here. Through his memories, he came to know that he had been locked for three days. A meal would be sent to him each day, to prevent him from dying of hunger.

"Probably meal time will be the only solution!"

He started to recall the details where the bandit came to deliver food previously. The bandit only delivered food through the crack of window and never entered the room directly. Only after confirming the food had been finished he would leave. Other than him, there were another two bandits who stood on guard at the door.

"This method can be tried, hopefully it will be successful!"

Lin Yi calmly made up his mind. Estimating when the bandit would come to deliver food, he took up a sharp firewood and he pierced his wrist expressionlessly, leaving a bloody trail.

His strike was accurate and didn't damage his artery. Though a lot of blood was spilled but it wasn't to the point of losing blood excessively.

Blood wrapped his entire wrist, his face started to get paler.

When it was meal time, a bandit came delivering the food.

"Is that brat behaving well?"

"Quite well, it has been a whole day without any ruckus."

"Guard him well. People from Lin Family has come to negotiate with Chief, preparing to redeem the captive. Lin Family has plenty of money. With this captive from last night, we brothers can have fun for quite some time."

"Don't worry, with us guarding here, that brat won't be able to escape!"

"Other than preventing him from escaping, look after him well, don't let him die!"

The bandit responsible for meal asked the two bandit guards to unlock the chain, then he shoved in the food through the gap and said, "Brat, time to eat!"

Yet what he saw was a boy lying on the ground motionlessly.

"Quickly eat!", the bandit shouted impatiently.

Still no response.

The bandit responsible for meal panicked and looked intently at the boy. Seeing the face of the boy was extremely pale, he gazed down further. He saw the left wrist of the boy was covered with blood, with a sharp firewood with traces of blood lying next to him.

That bandit immediately reacted.

"Quick, quick, quick! Open the door, that brat slit his wrist, trying to suicide! There's still a trace of breath left, if you don't want him to become a corpse and to be punished by Chief, save the brat quickly!" The bandit responsible for meal clamored anxiously.

"What?!"

The expression of two bandit guards changed drastically, taking out the key quickly and opened the door. The bandit responsible for meal pushed them away and charged in towards the boy.

Holding the boy's wrist, he shouted, "Quickly bring a piece of cloth over to stop the bleeding!"

The two bandit guards hurriedly threw away the sabers, tore down their sleeves, and gave it to the bandit responsible for meal quickly.

Right at this moment where the bandits were panicking, the boy suddenly opened his eyes.

He suddenly leapt up, picking up the saber lying on the ground.

Shua shua shua!

The saber flashed past!

Pu pu pu!

Deep wounds appeared on the throat of each bandits, their blood sprayed out like a fountain. Their eyes widened, gripping their own throat, staring surprisingly at the expressionless boy. Even before death, they couldn't believe that they would die at the hands of this fragile boy.

This series of actions by the boy, like a leaping rabbit and descending falcon, were swift and violent. His ruthless saber strikes didn't look like someone who was incapable of martial arts, instead it looked like an experienced killer!

No matter how tight the bandit gripping their throats, they were unable to stop the blood from flowing. In the end, all of them fell down on the ground, dying because loss of blood.

Rewards : 300 combat experience points

Combat evaluation : Grade A

System Notification

Lin Yi casually glanced at the system notification. Obtaining A grade evaluation wasn't something surprising for him. After all, the current him was someone with attributes akin to an ordinary person, yet what he faced were martial artists capable of martial arts, moreover they were ferocious bandits. Just from the attributes alone, there were a huge difference in their strength.

But as one of the five God-ranked player among hundreds of thousands of player, his rich combat experience was unquestionable. Despite incapable of any martial arts, disposing these bandits who merely practised superficial martial arts wasn't something challenging.

Three bandits contributed to three hundreds combat experience points, yet Lin Yi didn't show any excitement because he wasn't capable of martial arts so these points were useless to him.

Picking up the food container on the ground, he started eating beside the three bandit corpses.

Only after he was full, he had the energy to escape out of Black Wind Stockade.

Escaping out of the woodshed was merely the first step out of the danger afterall.

After having his fill, he bandaged his wrist properly. Moving his hand around, he ensured it didn't affect the movement of his left hand.

Looking at his wound, then he looked at the three corpses with their throats slit, he shook his head and smiled.

Life was like a play, it depended on one's acting!

He stood up, grabbed the saber, and left this cage which had trapped him for three days.
