Chapter 0002: Blood-drinking Demon Blade

Ah, I truly did not expect this; it is indeed worthy of being called a divine weapon!

As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. He Wuhen is indeed a troublemaker and a notorious scion. The He family has long incurred the dissatisfaction of various prominent families, and many powerful figures have been scheming to bring down the He family, stepping on them to rise to power and become one of the new five prominent families

This blood-drinking magic knife is entirely pitch black, measuring approximately 3 feet and 3 inches in length, with a blade width of four fingers. The unknown material, dark as night, exudes a soul-devouring and captivating power, causing a chilling sensation in the heart when gazed upon for too long

However, how can I become stronger? Although I have a weapon soul upgrade system, which allows me to level up by killing monsters to gain experience, this is merely my assumption and has yet to be verified. Moreover, where should I go to kill monsters to gain experience? After all, this is the real world, not a game, and there are no specific maps designated for me to farm monsters and level up

This incident serves as clear evidence that certain powerful individuals can no longer wait and have begun to act in secret. How could that cowardly and incompetent fellow, He Wuhen, have the audacity to attempt to force himself on Princess Mu Lianyu? He has long been hiding far away upon seeing her. This must be a deliberate scheme to frame him.

After all, I occupy his body and enjoy the life of a wealthy young master in his identity, I must avenge him to find peace in my heart

He Wu Hen contemplated for a while and then resolved to investigate this matter thoroughly, to provide justice for Qian He Da Shao.

He picked up the Blood-drinking Blade and examined it closely, only to discover that two droplets of blood were smeared on the blade, disappearing at a visibly rapid pace, as if they were being devoured by the Blood-drinking Blade

However, the package section is gray. Based on his experience, it should be that his level is not high enough, and he has not yet unlocked the permission to access the package

Upon seeing these two clever guards, He Wuhen recalled their names after a moment of reflection; one was named A Da and the other A Er. Both were He Wuhen's attendants, colloquially referred to as lackeys.

Where are the monsters that I can kill to gain experience for leveling up

After studying the light screen for quite some time, He Wuhen finally realized that not only the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade had crossed over with him, but also the upgrade system of the game "Blade Soul".

If the He family is prosperous and thriving, like the sun at its zenith, these powerful nobles would absolutely not dare to act recklessly

If I cannot kill the demon beast, then I suppose I can kill the wild beast instead

He Yaotian, as the Duke of the State and the Grand Marshal, has single-handedly supported the current emperor, making him immensely powerful in the Kingdom of Qingyuan. The He family is truly the foremost family in the Kingdom of Qingyuan.

However, the He family is now thin in numbers, with He Yaotian aging and the two talents of the second generation of the He family, one dead and the other incapacitated. The third generation's He Wuhen is a great wastrel, while He Wuhui, although somewhat promising and accomplished in both literature and martial arts, is still young and cannot yet make a significant impact

As he spoke, he instinctively ran his fingers along the edge of the knife, and a sudden, piercing pain shot through him, causing him to furrow his brow and quickly withdraw his hand. Upon closer inspection, he found that his finger had indeed been cut, leaving a gash.

Come, young master will take you out to handle some matters

With such thoughts in mind, he held the blood-drinking magic sword, measuring over three feet in length, and examined it carefully

Both of these guards possess the strength of level 8 martial practitioners. They are utterly loyal to the former young master and have committed numerous misdeeds alongside him, also receiving countless benefits from him.

Upon arriving here and understanding the situation, he calmed down and conducted a brief analysis, concluding that there was something peculiar about the matter, which was certainly not as simple as it appeared on the surface

Although my current strength is weak and my injuries have not yet healed, it is impossible for me to go into the wild to hunt beasts. However, there is a black market in the southern district of Yujing City, where various ferocious beasts are sold. I will go there to take a look, and if possible, I will buy a few beasts to kill for leveling up

The grip is slightly curved, and when He Wuhen holds it with his right hand, he feels that the grip fits perfectly and is very comfortable to use

He is confident in handling this matter and in revitalizing the He family. Only if the He family continues to prosper can he feel at ease being an arrogant and extravagant young master.

Blood-drinking Demon Blade, Demon Blade drinking blood, this Blood-drinking Blade actually drinks blood! Truly worthy of being a divine weapon, the Demon Blade

Moreover, Qian Renhe is nothing but a useless wastrel, unlearned and incompetent, with a dull intellect. He cannot even memorize the basic coursework of the Three Character Classic and the Hundred Family Surnames from the academy, yet one expects him to pursue his studies

However, although there are indeed monstrous beasts in this world, they are all incredibly powerful entities that ordinary warriors do not dare to provoke

If he were to pursue studies and take the imperial examinations, it would not only bring shame to the Duke of Zhen Guo, but also exacerbate the discord among the civil and military officials of the court. The Duke of Zhen Guo has long-standing grievances with the court's civil officials, and thus He Wuhen's future would inevitably be bleak.

However, his current situation is quite dire; his combat power is utterly abysmal, and his body has long been depleted by indulgence in wine and pleasure, leaving him extremely weak. Not to mention avenging any previous young masters or revitalizing his family, even the question of whether he can live to the age of 30 is uncertain

After studying for a while, He Wuhen understood many things and couldn't help but feel happy: "Haha, cultivating was originally an extremely difficult task, but now it seems to have become very simple for me! I just need to accumulate enough experience points to level up and become stronger!"

As a result of this scene, He Wuhen's perception of this blood-drinking sword greatly improved, and he began to develop a fondness for this treasured blade. However, there remained a problem that deeply troubled him, one that was difficult to unravel

Players at a slightly higher level primarily gain experience by hunting demon beasts, such as the Crimson Fire Wolf and the Whirlwind Tiger, among others. The experience provided by these demon beasts is also quite substantial

As he contemplated these matters, He Wuhen could not help but recall the events of that evening.

Looking at the dull blade, He Wuhen muttered discontentedly, "What kind of divine weapon is this with such a dull edge? It probably couldn't even kill a chicken!"

Walking through the spacious and luxurious mansion, the servants passing by all respectfully bowed and greeted He Wuhen upon seeing him

The memory of that night has become blurred, but what left the deepest impression on him was a pair of eyes that were terrifyingly calm

As he spoke, He Wuhen took the lead and stepped out, casually pulling two ten-tael silver notes from his sleeve and tossing them onto the ground.

However, He Wuhen was born into the Duke of Zhen Guo's residence, and the best choice was undoubtedly to inherit the family business and become a valiant and skilled general

He had just stepped out of the door when two strong and seemingly clever guards rushed forward, respectfully greeting him and asking, "Good morning, young master! Where are you going? Your health is currently not well; the old master has instructed you to stay in the room and rest peacefully, and not to go out"

Failing to excel in martial arts and also not succeeding in literary pursuits, one is simply left with nothing of value

The attribute panel indicates that he is a Level 3 Martial Apprentice, which reflects his level of strength. He speculates that if he were a Level 4 Martial Apprentice, the character attributes would clearly show him as a Level 4 Martial Apprentice.

One must become stronger! Only with powerful military force can one live better. If, in a few years, the old master is no longer in this world, and the He family loses its pillar, while I remain weak, other powerful figures or those with ulterior motives will undoubtedly take advantage of the situation and put me in a perilous position.

However, the blade of this unparalleled treasure sword does not have a gleaming edge; it is as dark as the blade itself, which somewhat diminishes the sword's allure and reduces its sharpness.

Thinking of this, He Wuhen got up and rummaged around the room for a while, and finally gathered more than six hundred taels of silver notes. Calculating that this money would be sufficient to purchase a few fierce beasts, he then changed his clothes and went out.

As long as he silently recites the name of the game "Soul of the Blade," a light screen will appear in his mind, allowing him to see his character's attributes and even his inventory

In addition, He Wuhen discovered an even more bizarre thing: his finger was cut, yet not a single drop of blood flowed out.

Upon thinking of this, He Wuhen couldn't help but smile, adopting the demeanor of a wealthy young master, and feigned anger as he said: "Hmph, two worthless dogs, does this young master need to report to you where I am going?"

Upon closer inspection, He Wuhen increasingly felt that this seemingly unremarkable, pitch-black knife possessed a captivating power, emanating an eerie aura

This matter absolutely cannot be left unresolved; having suffered such a significant loss, I will definitely not let it go easily. I must uncover the truth, to avenge any grievances from the past, and it will also fulfill a wish of his.

The elegantly flowing blade extends outward, but suddenly narrows at the tip, revealing a smooth curve that presents a sharp point. The spine of the blade at the tip is also the widest part, measuring a full five fingers in width, and features two wavy lines, imparting a strong sense of power

Although He Wuhen was a commoner in his previous life and had not been exposed to power struggles, he was not foolish and lived in a world of information explosion

With He Wuhen's current strength as a third-level martial artist, facing any demon beast, even the weakest first-level demon beast, is a certain death, with no possibility of survival

Seeing the two excessively obsequious lackeys behind him, He Wuhen felt an inexplicable surge of pride within, secretly pleased as he thought: "Hehe, being a dandy young master feels quite good! I have fallen in love with this feeling of flaunting my power. If I were holding a birdcage in one hand and had a fan tucked into my collar, I would look even more like a dandy young master."

Certainly, although many individuals can cultivate martial arts, there are also quite a number who choose to pursue scholarly studies, attending academies to read books, with the aim of taking the imperial examination in order to serve the Qingyuan Kingdom.

Because he inherited all the memories of the previous incarnation, he understood that this is a world where power reigns supreme. Without formidable strength, one cannot attain a corresponding status, nor can one gain the recognition and respect of others

Upon seeing this, A Da and A Er quickly picked up the banknotes with joyful smiles, and followed He Wu Hen closely, walking in step with him, incessantly flattering and fawning over him

It is precisely for this reason that those in power are eager to take action

I have made my decision; in this lifetime, I shall be a domineering and arrogant young master! I will act according to my whims, unmatched in my tyranny!

He Wuhen lay on the bed, constantly calculating in his mind: "Even with the prestigious title of Duke of the State of Zhen above my head, it would be fine for me to live a life of idleness. However, my grandfather He Yaotian is already old, and our family is thin in numbers. The powerful figures in Yujing City have long been eyeing us, eager to trample the He family and ascend to the ranks of the five great families"

He clearly remembers that at that time, in a state of confusion, He Wuhen rushed towards Princess Lianyu, grabbing and touching her in a frantic manner. Princess Lianyu showed no sign of fear, but her eyes were filled with calmness and a chilling intensity

Based on He Wuhen's years of experience playing "Soul of the Blade," low-level players seeking to level up typically hunt creatures such as wild wolves, wild boars, and ferocious tigers

Therefore, even with the Soul Blade upgrade system at his disposal, it is impossible for him to go and kill the demon beasts to level up now

"Damn, this knife is too treacherous. It looks very dull, yet it is so sharp? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it can cut hair and split it!" As he spoke, He Wuhen actually pulled out a strand of his long hair, placed it on the edge of the knife, and gently blew on it. Indeed, the hair was cut.
