Currently, the functions on the spatial mark are not many. The items for sale in the system are still empty, and need to be filled by the various trainees.
However, when the storage space attached to the spatial mark was demonstrated by Li Wucheng, and everyone opened it, they were given a huge surprise and astonishment.
Li Wucheng told them that they were currently inside the Main God Space. Some believed it, some did not believe it at all, or were half-believing, half-doubting.
But when the storage space, something that only existed in legends, appeared, they had no choice but to believe it, as it was irrefutable evidence.
"Haha, it's real, that's great, I will become a great hero."
Unlike the others, who were either worried or happy after believing, Xiu Yongqing was overjoyed, jumping up and down, eager to enter the projection space.
After playing with the spatial mark, Liu Hongjun frowned, already believing the claim about entering the Main God Space to be about seventy to eighty percent true.
"Brother, you know so much about the Main God Space, what is your identity?"
Liu Hongjun asked.
Liu Hongjun's question voiced what everyone was thinking, and they all looked at Li Wucheng, their eyes filled with doubt and suspicion.
Li Wucheng replied, "Like you, I am a trainee, but you are new, and I am your guide."
Jingwei asked, "Guide? What does that mean?"
Li Wucheng said calmly, "It means I will take you through your first world. During this process, you must follow my arrangements, or don't blame me for not caring about your life or death."
"Alright, you should be prepared. Let's start our first world."
As he spoke, Li Wucheng lightly touched the spatial mark, and a mechanical voice sounded as a beam of light shone down from the ceiling.
"Confirm, teleport."
...
After a dizzying sensation, Li Wucheng steadied himself and looked around. He found himself by a small river, with willow trees lining the banks, but the trees were bare, with not a single leaf.
At this time, it was dusk, the wind was strong, and the clouds were low. The sunset was dim and yellow. Li Wucheng looked into the distance and saw a vast plain, with endless withered grass and yellow sand, and only a solitary manor.
"Hey, where are we? How did we end up here out of nowhere?"
Su Yi looked around and said in surprise.
Not only was Su Yi surprised, but the others were equally astonished. They had just been in a sealed room, and in the blink of an eye, they were here.
When Su Yi asked, the others all turned their gazes to Li Wucheng, waiting for his answer.
Pointing to the spatial mark on his wrist, Li Wucheng said, "Look at your spatial marks; there will be a background introduction."
Focusing on their spatial marks, lines of text appeared before their eyes.
During the Qing Qianlong period, the Red Flower Society was active, raising the banner of anti-Qing and pro-Ming, engaging in open and covert struggles with the Qing court, causing turmoil in the martial world.
In the 23rd year of Qianlong, at Iron Gall Manor, the Qing court's hound, Zhang Zhaungzhong, captured Wen Tailai.
Tasks:
1. Kill ten Qing soldiers. Reward: 1000 Main God Points. Failure: Deduct 1000 Main God Points.
2. Rescue Wen Tailai. Optional task. Reward: 2000 Main God Points. Failure: No deduction of Main God Points.
"Is this the world of 'The Book and the Sword'?"
Xiu Yongqing's voice was both surprised and delighted.
Li Wucheng glanced at Xiu Yongqing and nodded, "Yes, it is the world of 'The Book and the Sword,' the part where Zhang Zhaungzhong captures Wen Tailai at Iron Gall Manor."
"The Book and the Sword is a famous novel by Jin Yong, and it has been adapted into a TV series. You must have seen it, right?"
"Seen it."
"I've seen it too."
"Not only seen it, but also very familiar with it."
Everyone nodded in agreement, answering definitively.
Jin Yong's fifteen novels are so famous that even if you haven't read them all, you have likely come across them in some form, and 'The Book and the Sword' is one of his more well-known works.
Li Wucheng said seriously, "Since you've all seen it, you should have a general idea of how the plot will unfold. You are all ordinary people without martial skills. If you don't want to die, it's best to follow my lead when dealing with the Qing soldiers."
These words were like a bucket of cold water, dousing everyone's enthusiasm. Even Xiu Yongqing, who was initially excited, realized that completing the task was not as simple as eating or drinking and that it could be deadly.
Realizing the severity of the situation, everyone's expressions became serious, some with flickering eyes, others deep in thought.
"That manor should be Iron Gall Manor. Let's go there and get involved in the plot as soon as possible."
Pointing to the solitary manor ahead, Li Wucheng said.
No one objected to Li Wucheng's words, and they all walked towards the manor, introducing themselves as they went.
They referred to themselves by their aliases rather than their real names. For example, Liu Hongjun called himself Longjun.
Upon reaching the outside of Iron Gall Manor, Li Wucheng observed that the manor had watchtowers and a drawbridge, making it quite grand.
The manor gates were wide open, with no one guarding them. Li Wucheng raised an eyebrow and said, "The plot has already begun. I'll go in first, and you follow."
He was in a hurry because he had a rough idea of where the plot was in the story and knew they needed to act quickly to avoid any regrets.
As soon as he entered the manor, Li Wucheng heard a loud shout, "Is this how heroes act?"
Startled, he used the Lingbo Weibu technique to its fullest extent. He saw an old man wave his right hand, throwing two iron balls towards a child.
The iron balls were thrown with great force, whistling through the air. If they hit the child's head, they would likely cause immediate bloodshed.
Li Wucheng recognized the old man as Zhou Zhongying and the child as Zhou Yingjie. In 'The Book and the Sword,' Zhou Zhongying accidentally killed Zhou Yingjie, a regret he carried for the rest of his life.
Li Wucheng remembered feeling very sorry when he read this part. Zhou Yingjie was just a child, and even if he had done something wrong, he did not deserve such a fate.
Moreover, Zhou Yingjie's love for heroism might have been a result of Zhou Zhongying's poor parenting. This was not an isolated incident; his two sons also died in martial disputes.
While it's true that in the martial world, one cannot avoid danger, the repeated occurrence of such events cannot be attributed to mere coincidence but rather to Zhou Zhongying's failure as a parent.
With a step, Li Wucheng created a shadow, flashing in front of Zhou Yingjie. The two iron balls, one embedding itself in the wall, the other heading straight for Li Wucheng.
The iron ball struck with a powerful force, and Li Wucheng, not daring to be careless, gathered his strength in his right hand and grabbed the iron ball firmly.
In the world of 'Heavenly Dragon,' Li Wucheng had used the Northern冥Ming Power to absorb the internal energy of Gan Guanghao and Ge Guangpei, and his Northern冥Ming True Qi had reached a level equivalent to five to six years of cultivation.
Using his full strength to catch the iron ball, Li Wucheng felt a burning pain in his palm and was pushed back by the force.
