Wulin : Martial Heroes

Chapter 36: Second Year of Tianfu

Even though, he is quite sure that person could not overpowered him, he always errs on the side of caution.

He knows nothing about that person and actually there is not that much of an enmity between them

It would be different however if he seeks that person and then clashed with that person.

Then whatever secrets that person is trying to cover up would be uncovered and as such, the inevitable conclusion is that they probably would have to fight each other till death

Of course like most of his thought this is the scenario he had think of in his mind.

he is still anxious on whether he could survive in this world. There is still so many things he doesn’t know

There are still many things that needs to be strengthened for him to truly be confident in walking in Jianghu. Right now, he only had four martial art skill.

He had two swordplay skill which is the Sixteen Moves Swordplay and the One Sword swordplay. Of the two, one of them is a supreme skill of swords and another is basic skill

This made him very proficient in sword. Then he has two palm skill, which is the Three Waves Palm and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm

Of these two, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm is a supreme skill martial skill.

He doesn’t know if he is compared to those great sect disciples how he would fare but, while he is confident that he would not lose against those sect disciple, he still knows there is too many things he does not know about this world

For now, he would not brag too much. Until he could confirm the level of power of the people of this world compared to him, he would be cautious and vigilance.

And he did not forget that there is still the existence called grandmaster.

When he was playing the game, all he could hear was that there is a grandmaster sitting on the three great mountain and that is why it is so hard for even the imperial family to move against the many sects.

The imperial family is also said to have a grandmaster.

These being called grandmaster is a mysterious existence.

Li Xin had no reference at all about these grandmasters. And to be honest, not many people met these grandmasters because they rarely make a move.

He could only sigh at this. When he come down the mountain, he would surely find a way to dig out information about these being called grandmasters

‘Maybe, I should convert the lightness skill points to martial skill points.’

He thought to himself.

Even though he had always been able to convert the skill points when he breaks through Seeking the Path power level

While he lacks martial skill points he could always convert the other skill points into life skill points.

What he fears is the exchange rate of the skill conversion. But thinking about it again, he did not need to practice any lightness skill for now.

He already had enough of lightness skill and each of his lightness skill is raised to grandmaster rank

One could only imagine that if one tries to capture him, it would be harder than trying to beat him.

He takes a deep breath and exhales and then after a moment, he returns to thinking again. T

his kind of lazing around while thinking of things, really suits his taste.

Right now, Li Xin is naked

Other than a small cloth that covers his private parts, he is basically naked.

He is laying on top of the boulder, there is large boulder in the upstream that causes the water that falls down on him not too strong that it would push him away

Because of that, he could lean back on the stone while experiencing the coolness of the water.

All of this helps him heal his body while at the same time, he could think of things more rationally.

His own personal pool, he thought to himself. Then he began thinking about the drugged up wolves all around the mountain.

‘That is also possible’ he mutters to himself.

 ‘Should I eradicate more?’ he thought to himself. He does not want to create a conflict between him and that person but he also needed skill points.

Only with skill point could he easily grow stronger.

Or is he too rash? Maybe, he should wait until he enters Jianghu first.

He scratches his side of the temple and sighed.

And then he thought of this world.

‘I hope this world did not differ much from the world that I knew’ He knew there are differences but he hopes that the differences are small

There is still so many things he does not know about this world.

He does know that he is in Henan and that this land is ruled by the Tang dynasty. He also acknowledged that while the history of this world Tang dynasty is the same like the Tang dynasty of his world, there is a few differences in the details.

Of course Li Xin before he transmigrated into this world is not that much of a history buff. But for someone who had read a lot of historical novels he of course knew the Tang dynasty

He wonders why could not he falls into a European-esque timeline. Even if that timeline had some changes, he could at least notice it.

It is not like he focused so much on the historical eastern studies.

If he falls during the time of William the Conqueror or during Napoleon time and he has the system, he could move more confidently because he truly remembers about those part of history

After all, even though he does like reading web novels and playing eastern games, he is after all is born in the United States.

Fortunately, most web novels he read always features the Tang dynasty. He likes historical novels, of knowing other people cultures and history.

Of course, most of these web novels look at the past through the propaganda of the present times.

But even that could not be his reference because the Tang dynasty that he is in, the world that he is in, is very different

He is quite sure that if his world had a human that possess the same skill and abilities like that of a grandmaster, his world would surely have such record of such person.

After all, the impact of a grandmaster to a ruling regime is very powerful. And there is also the fact that before he plays the game, he did read the Game Encyclopedia.

Most games that have a lot of characters like Three Kingdoms or the Nobunaga Ambition series always have the encyclopedia section.

Most people would not read it. As long as they know the main characters and what they have to do, they would play the game

But Li Xin is different. He read the encyclopedia. Because he likes to immerse himself when he is playing games.

As such, he knew some general things and knew that this world, while it had some minor differences in the details, the history is almost the same.

He looks at the years shown on the system window

It is the second year of Tianfu, which is 902 AD. Two years before Emperor Zhaozong would be murdered by Zhu Wen and his throne usurped

Then the hunt for the deer would begin. Warlords would rise up all over the world. In 907 AD Zhu Wen would then depose Emperor Ai of Tang and found Liang dynasty also known as Zhu Liang or Hou Liang by the historian of later generation

In the year 907 AD is the time where all the warlords began fighting each other openly. Li Keyong would stay independent as Jin in Shanxi, Qian Liu would become Prince of Wuyue

And Wang Jian would declare himself Emperor of Shu in Chengdu. It all will started with the murder of the Emperor.

The world would then be divided between the warlords, on the north and south and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms would emerge.

When he was playing the game, the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms had already slowly established themselves.

At that time, the year was 907 AD, just right after the assassination of the Emperor.

But, right now, he is two years away from the assassination of the Emperor.

Right now, if the history of this world is the same as the history of his world and if it follows the guide in the game, Zhu Wen is slowly strengthening his authority in Chang’an

‘Zhu Quanzhong. He must have a powerful force in the capital’ but saying this Li Xin smiles. He is thinking about meddling in this matter.

Zhu Wen, Emperor Taizu of Liang is a military governor.

From what Li Xin reads in the guide of the game he overthrew the Tang dynasty and established Liang dynasty known to history as Later Liang, and beginning the era of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Emperor Zhaozong of Tang is murdered by him. Even the next emperor, Emperor Ai of Tang which is basically the puppet of Zhu Wen is also killed by him

In history Emperor Zhaozong of Tang is murdered in the fourth year of Tianfu (901-904)

To be more accurate he is killed in year of 904 AD. And Li Xian right now, had knowledge of this matter, two years before the murder of the Emperor
