Chapter 2, Mountain Bandits and Han Soldiers

One can only reach the nearest town

Xu Tian excitedly opened his personal panel

What a terrifying power, this is merely the lowest rank of bandits

Only then did he remember that "The World" is a high martial arts world and cannot be assessed according to common logic

With only 50 points of martial strength, it is already this terrifying

Xu Tian performed a set of 22nd-century radio calisthenics and began to survey the surrounding environment

Name: Zhao Bo

His objective is the fallen captain of the Han army and the leader of the mountain bandits

Occupation: General

The captain of the Han army squad possesses greater combat strength, sending a bandit flying with a single punch, eliminating the bandit minions!

[Traits]: Child of the Plane (Golden Trait, Holder, Luck increased to 90, Charm increased to 90), Heart like a Clear Mirror (Orange Trait, can see through the enemy's true and false), Heroic (Blue Trait, Physical skill power +30%, Weapon damage +10%)

The Han army encountered mountain bandits, facing each other in a life-and-death struggle, with Han soldiers and mountain bandits continuously falling in battle.

Xu Tian carried a steel sword on his back, walking along the not particularly wide official road

The bandit leader drew a dagger and launched a surprise attack, stabbing the commander of the Han army's squad in the abdomen

[Traits]: Martial Arts (White Trait, Physical Skill Power + 10%, Defense + 10%), Military Personnel (White Trait, Damage dealt by soldiers to bandits + 15%)

Even the reinforced armor can be shattered with a punch, such strength ... ...

Physical Strength: 71 / 100

Unfortunately, the armor of the Han army squad leader was damaged and rendered unusable during the fierce battle with the bandit chief; otherwise, Xu Tian might have directly stripped it off to equip himself

[Unit Type]: 0 / 100

Name: Xu Tian

The Han army squad leader struck the tree trunk, pushed off with his right foot, and charged towards the bandit leader!

Xu Tian believes that he will soon find the nearest town

Due to the orange characteristic of "a heart like a clear mirror," Xu Tian is able to discern the true and false aspects of the Han army squad leader.

Players create a character and randomly receive 3 initial personal traits

The captain of the Han army squad was struck in the chest by the bandit leader's punch, causing a depression in his chest, blood to spout from his mouth, and leaving him in a state of mental fatigue

Although the birthplace is random, due to the expansion of the world in "Tianxia" by 1,000 times, players generally spawn near towns, and situations where players have to walk hundreds of kilometers will not occur

The orange characteristic "Heart Like a Clear Mirror" is also a divine skill that can discern the true and false of the enemy

The bandit leader swung a tree trunk as thick as a water barrel as a weapon, striking at the captain of the Han army squad

Xu Tian was even more dumbfounded, not expecting that the final outcome would be a mutual destruction.

The sky is azure, the mountains and forests are lush, and the air carries the scent of earth

... ...

[Physical Power]: 40 (affects the power of physical system skills, maximum 80)

The ring-headed sword is the standard weapon of the Han army

Intelligence: 30 (affects the power of spell-related skills, maximum 80)

A flash of white light appeared before Xu Tian, revealing a desolate mountain wilderness

The Han army and the mountain bandits were evenly matched in strength. In the end, only the squad leader of the Han army, the leader of the bandits, and seven bandits remained.

Xu Tian learned from the official released materials that the higher the military strength, the more terrifying the destructive power.

The bandit leader seemed enraged due to the deaths of several subordinates at the hands of the Han army's squad leader, and with both hands embraced a giant tree, astonishingly breaking it with immense strength

As Xu Tian sighed, he licked the bag and felt a token.

A punch and a kick, with a force of several hundred pounds, akin to an iron whip

Xu Tian, however, did not pay attention to the environment that was strikingly close to reality

Xu Tian was dumbfounded

The squad leader of the Han army blocked the tree trunk with one arm, while his feet exerted force against the ground, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the surface, with dust and sand swirling around

Identity: Team Leader of the Han Army in Changshan State, Zhen Ding County (NPC)

The bandit leader blocks with a punch, as two individuals engage in battle, creating a chaotic scene

Generally, the personal traits obtained by regular players are white, while Xu Tian acquired one gold, one orange, and one blue trait

The captain of the Han army faced an assault from 12 mountain bandits, yet did not fall behind in strength

The Han army formed a circular formation, facing bandits that were five times their number, yet did not fall behind.

The captain of the Han army, while sustaining injuries, landed a punch on the face of the mountain bandit leader, who endured the immense force of several hundred pounds, causing his teeth to shatter

In the world of "Tianxia", aside from the orderly cities, there are numerous horse bandits and wandering robbers in the wilderness, thus one must exercise utmost caution

The captain of the Han army covered his wound, collapsing in a pool of blood

[Commander]: 40 [Military Strength]: 50 [Intelligence]: 41 [Politics]: 21 [Charisma]: 35 [Luck]: 3

The captain of the Han army struck with a punch, generating a fierce wind and a sound that pierced the air, astonishingly shattering a hundred-pound boulder with his bare hands

After a great battle, the entire army was annihilated

Level: 1

Commander: 30 (Affects the number of soldiers under command, currently able to provide bonuses for 100 soldiers, with a maximum limit of 80)

[Mind Method]: None

Xu Tian did not act lightly; his martial prowess was fundamentally incapable of intervening in the great battle

[Unit Type]: 20 / 1200 (Sword and Shield Soldier)

The battle between the Han army and the mountain bandits has become increasingly brutal, with both sides fighting fiercely and bloodily

Suddenly, Xu Tian heard a chorus of battle cries

Seven bandits and their leader besieged the captain of the Han army squad

It truly is a golden characteristic

The bandit was struck by the fist of the captain of the Han army squad, producing a muffled sound, as his ribs shattered simultaneously, his internal organs ruptured, and he coughed up blood profusely

Level: 50

A mountain bandit was kicked by the long whip leg of a Han army squad, and unexpectedly flew backward for several dozen meters, like a kite with a broken string falling down

On the official road ahead, over 100 bandits are engaged in a fierce battle with 20 Han soldiers

The boulder shattered, and fragments flew in all directions

Charm: 90 (Influences talent recruitment, maximum 90)

Clothing and trousers made of cloth serve only the purpose of covering the body, without any protective function

Players will respawn at their original location after death, and there are death penalties, so Xu Tian cannot return to the nearby town by committing suicide

According to Xu Tian's careful judgment, this is a desolate mountain wilderness

The captain of the Han army single-handedly fought and killed eleven bandits with his bare hands

A mountain bandit lifted a giant stone weighing one hundred pounds with one hand and hurled it at the Han soldiers

Xu Tian observed in secret

Boom

There is a situation

[Politics]: 30 (Influence on domestic governance within the territory, maximum 80)

Compared to the divine attributes obtained, Xu Tian's equipment is rather pitiful

The captain of the Han army struck the bandit leader's temple with both fists, the terrifying force causing the bandit leader's skull to shatter, resulting in instant death

Puff

Rusty Iron Sword, Sword-related skill power + 1%, Durability 50 / 100

Title: Commoner

The captain of the Han army squad, seemingly just a low-level NPC, exuded the aura of a grandmaster.

[Trainable Units]: Militia, Sword and Shield Soldiers, Pikemen, Archers

Xu Tian picked up the ring-headed knife, which is a weapon of silver quality, with a blade that glimmers coldly

In legend, only the Five Tiger Generals, Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, and other legendary military commanders possess golden attributes, while Xu Tian randomly acquires one

Lucky: 90

The golden trait "Child of the Plane" can significantly enhance luck and charm

Boom

[Equipment]: Ringed Sword (Silver Grade), Standard Zha Armor (Silver Grade)

Xu Tian directly replaced the rusty iron sword

Xu Tianding looked closely and felt a surge of excitement in his heart; the token was inscribed with three characters—"Establishment of Village Order"

Death to the traitors

Xu Tianhu's body trembled

Xu Tian had no choice but to shamelessly go up and clean the battlefield

Even the lowest-ranking bandit can easily lift a hundred-pound boulder

[Skill]: None

Equipment: rusty iron sword, cloth robe, coarse cloth trousers, cloth belt, straw sandals

If even the captain of the Han army squad and the leader of the mountain bandits are so fierce, then what level do the Five Tiger Generals and the Five Outstanding Generals belong to

[Skill]: Han Army Swordsmanship (D-level skill, a sword technique commonly used by officials and soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty)
