Chapter 1

"Get lost!"

On the long street, the martial hero in white, bloodstained, glared fiercely and pushed his palms forward with a sudden force.

The fierce palm wind surged like a raging tide, and the group of soldiers rushing forward with knives were instantly thrown into disarray, their formation in chaos.

"Go!"

The martial hero in white shouted to his companions behind him.

"Dragon King! The commander of the Ironclad Army is most likely a nightmare that has evolved to this realm. We will cover your back, you go and slay the enemy, and end this all!"

Someone shouted from behind.

"What if we're wrong?"

"Given the situation, we have no choice but to take a gamble!"

"Alright!"

The martial hero in white, known as Dragon King, did not hesitate, and without a word, he directly used his lightness skill to jump onto the roof, identified the direction, and quickly moved toward the target.

Along the way, there were many experts from the Ironclad Army intercepting him. Bows, iron hooks, and iron nets appeared one after another, but Dragon King maintained his high-speed sprint, his powerful internal energy driving fierce palm winds. With each step, he could cover over ten meters, and the experts blocking his path were swept away like a hurricane, blood splattering everywhere.

Flying tiles, collapsing roofs, and figures being thrown like cannonballs... Dragon King cut through the long street with a force that could overturn rivers and seas!

When he reached the target, his white clothes were already completely stained with blood.

At this moment, the target was still surrounded by dozens of soldiers, armed with knives, spears, and swords, exuding a chilling aura.

"Scoundrel, lend me your head!"

Dragon King still charged forward without hesitation.

Another bloody battle ensued.

...

"What a grand dream..."

Li Xing opened his eyes in bed, muttering.

A few seconds later, the room was filled with a flicker of light, and three pale golden discs appeared on his bed. He was already used to this.

This thing is called a "Martial Practice Token," the reward for watching the dream.

Picking up his phone and opening a news app, Li Xing indeed saw the relevant news: "Iron-Arm Dragon King" Yan Hailong, leading the Dream-Breaking Squad, had just successfully cracked the three-star nightmare realm "Crimson Shadow." Yan Hailong killed the Crimson Shadow nightmare, which had transformed into the commander of the Ironclad Army, under heavy siege.

Six martial stars died in this dream, and after exiting the dream, they suffered severe mental trauma, all declared to be in a recovery period, and were not expected to enter the dream again within half a year.

According to statistics, the number of people who entered the dream "Crimson Shadow" was over 73 million, temporarily ranking first on the "Dream Entry List" for the year...

Li Xing looked at the comment section and found that most were praising the "Iron-Arm Dragon King," while some netizens were praying for the six recovering martial stars, hoping they would recover to their original state.

After finishing the news, Li Xing put down his phone.

He had been in this world for over a month, but occasionally he still felt a sense of unreality, as this world had many strange aspects.

For example, the "Crimson Shadow" he just entered and watched was not a movie, it had no script, and everything that happened was a real performance.

Thirty-four years ago, the first nightmares appeared on the Blue Star of this world. These were monsters that could create various dreams and could not be killed by any real-world means.

Once a dream was generated, the nightmare would provide a certain number of slots for people to enter the dream for a deep experience.

If the required number of deep experiences could not be gathered within three days, the nightmare would go berserk and force more people to enter the dream randomly over a wide area.

Those who entered the dream for a deep experience would encounter various dangers, and the nightmare would use various means to kill them.

If someone was killed in the dream, they would at best be exhausted and suffer from severe headaches, and at worst, they would die directly from brain death!

At first, people could only let some people enter the dream for a deep experience every three days to prevent the nightmare from going berserk, but as the number of nightmares increased, this method became too passive.

Next, people tried to fight the nightmare in the dream, but all the rules in the dream were set by the nightmare. To defeat it, people had to follow its rules.

If the nightmare-generated dream is seen as a game, what people need to do is enter the game and "level up" to strengthen themselves, so they can defeat the boss and ultimately complete the game.

What Li Xing found even more interesting was that nightmares in different regions would generate rules based on the culture of that region. For example, nightmares in Huaguo (China) would generate martial arts rules based on Huaguo's martial arts culture.

Martial arts rules, in simple terms, mean giving you an internal cultivation method. Practicing it in the real world might only result in kidney stones, but practicing it in the dream can really cultivate internal energy, allowing you to walk on walls and split rocks, just like "Iron-Arm Dragon King" Yan Hailong in "Crimson Shadow."

However, learning martial arts in a nightmare-generated dream is very difficult because the nightmare does not give you time to "develop stealthily," and danger can appear at any time.

This is where the "Martial Practice Token" comes into play.

This is something that drops after a nightmare is destroyed, formed by the nightmare absorbing human energy, and can be considered a mystical product.

Ordinary people can use the Martial Practice Token to generate a safe dream, and they can also practice martial arts in the safe dream. The martial arts skills cultivated in the safe dream can be brought into other dreams.

It can be understood that all dreams, whether generated by nightmares or Martial Practice Tokens, share the same "data" and can be freely "saved" and "loaded."

However, one Martial Practice Token can only maintain a safe dream for ten minutes.

In addition, quickly consuming Martial Practice Tokens can speed up the time flow in the dream, thus increasing the proficiency of martial arts and greatly accelerating the cultivation process!

Undoubtedly, the role of the Martial Practice Token is significant, and the number of Martial Practice Tokens "dropped" depends not only on the level of the nightmare but also on the number of people connected to
