Chapter 1

In the vast land of Shenzhou, in the Song Kingdom, about a hundred miles from Jingzhou lies the Floating Cloud Mountain.

The Floating Cloud Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, with a rather perilous terrain, making it easy to defend but hard to attack.

Moreover, due to its proximity to Jingzhou, there is considerable trade, which has led to the proliferation of over a dozen groups of bandits and robbers in the mountain, most of whom live quite comfortably.

Black Dragon Fort.

Assembly Hall.

"Big Brother, I'm back."

A tall, robust young man, exuding a bold and masculine aura, strode into the Assembly Hall.

His face, sharp and somewhat stern, was very handsome, and he wore a somewhat incongruous, kind, and friendly smile.

Behind him followed several jubilant men.

"Second Brother, how did it go?" The middle-aged man standing in the center of the Assembly Hall had already risen, eagerly stepping forward to ask.

"Ha ha ha, I didn't let Big Brother down. This time, we caught a big fish. All the goods combined are worth over five hundred taels of silver," the robust young man said with great joy.

"Good, Second Brother, you've done a great service to our Black Dragon Fort!" The middle-aged man was overjoyed, his face beaming with praise.

"Ha ha, Big Brother, this is what I should do. Without you, where would I be?" The young man smiled, his expression sincere.

"Very well, no need for formalities between us brothers. Spread the word, we'll celebrate tonight. We won't stop until we're all drunk," the middle-aged man declared with great enthusiasm.

"Yes, Chief."

"Chief, you are mighty."

...

Cheers erupted, and soon, most of the over two hundred people in the Black Dragon Fort were bustling about, preparing the feast.

For bandits and robbers, such feasts are one of their favorite things.

Two hours later, as the sky darkened, over a dozen tables were set up inside and outside the Assembly Hall, filled with people. The loud and boisterous voices echoed throughout the fort.

Chief Lin Sanlong, the leader of the Black Dragon Fort, sat at the head table, raised a bowl of wine, and stood up.

Immediately, the noise in the Assembly Hall subsided, and all eyes turned to him.

"Brothers, tonight we must all drink until we're drunk. I, Lin Sanlong, will first toast to all of you. Here, drink."

His deep and resonant voice rang clearly in everyone's ears, and many faces showed signs of respect.

"Chief, you are mighty!"

Cheers rose, and everyone drank from their bowls.

Lin Sanlong's gaze swept over the crowd, and seeing that everyone had finished drinking, he placed his bowl down and continued, "Good. Also, before the feast officially begins, I have an announcement to make."

He paused, seeing that no one made a sound, a look of satisfaction flashed across his face, and he continued, "Second Chief has once again done a great service to our Black Dragon Fort. Therefore, I have decided to reward him heavily, with two hundred taels of silver."

As soon as the words were spoken, the hall fell even quieter, and all eyes widened, staring at the young man sitting below Lin Sanlong.

Jealousy, resentment, greed, joy, and respect flashed across many faces.

Two hundred taels of silver!

The young man's face clearly showed surprise, a hint of excitement rising. He glanced at the crowd as if casually, then suddenly stood up, waving his hands in refusal, "Big Brother, this is too much."

Lin Sanlong laughed heartily, reached out to press the young man's robust body back into his seat, and said solemnly, "Second Brother, my word is as good as gold. How can I go back on my word?

Moreover, our brotherhood is worth more than just two hundred taels of silver. It's settled."

Invisibly, the jealousy in the crowd grew even stronger.

The young man was moved, his face showing excitement. He stood up again, clasped his hands, and said firmly, "Big Brother."

No words were spoken, but the emotion of willingness to go through fire and water was evident, as if he were unwavering.

"Second Brother." Lin Sanlong reached out to grasp the young man's hands, his face full of sincerity and warmth.

"Big Brother."

"Second Brother."

The many bandits and robbers in the hall watched silently, and suddenly, a loud cheer erupted.

"Chief, you are mighty! Second Chief, you are mighty."

Cheers rose immediately, and over a hundred people shouted in unison, as if shaking the night.

"Good, the feast officially begins. Brothers, drink until we're all drunk," Lin Sanlong shouted, temporarily putting aside brotherly affection.

"Drink."

"Come, drink."

"Second Chief, I'll toast to you. I, Liu Laosan, admire you the most."

"Second Chief, I'll also toast to you."

...

The noisy scene unfolded, with the sound of drinking echoing everywhere, especially centered around the young man, the Second Chief, as one after another came to toast him, without end.

The young man, seemingly delighted, did not refuse, drinking bowl after bowl.

Before long, the robust figure of the young man swayed, his face flushed with drunkenness, but his mouth did not stop.

"Come, drink. We won't stop until we're all drunk."

"Big Brother, I'll toast to you. Without you, there would be no Li Daoqiang today. You are my real big brother. Whatever you say, I will do."

"Hey, Big Sister, you're here too. Come, Big Sister, I'll toast to you. You are my real big sister."

The drunken voice echoed through the hall, and those who heard it could feel the sincerity and honesty.

Many eyes in the hall also occasionally glanced at a figure, filled with greed and desire.

Dressed in a light pink dress, with fair skin and a fiery figure, her charming face seemed to exude an indescribable allure.

Moving freely among the crowd, she occasionally drank with them.

Then, she sat down next to the Second Chief, carefully tending to the drunk Second Chief.

Invisibly, the jealousy in the crowd grew even stronger.

After a while, the robust Second Chief could no longer hold on and fell onto the table.

"Second Brother, Second Brother." The woman gently pushed the Second Chief, seeing no response, she sighed, "He really drank too much."

Then, she gave a look to Lin Sanlong, who loudly said, "It seems the Second Chief is drunk. Wang Lin, Li Si, why don't you help the Second Chief back to rest?"

"Yes."

Two large men, who had been paying attention, immediately responded.

After the Second Chief was taken away, the feast continued, seemingly unaffected.

In a courtyard not far from the Assembly Hall, Wang Lin and Li Si carefully laid the drunk Second Chief on the bed, covered him with a blanket, and walked out.

"Second Chief is drunk. I'll keep watch tonight, and you can take over later," Wang Lin whispered.

"Alright, I'll go first." Li Si nodded and walked away.

Wang Lin looked around, walked to a shadowy spot, and cautiously stood guard.

At the same time.

The Second Chief, lying on the bed, silently opened his eyes.

Though his eyes showed signs of drunkenness, they were mostly clear.

The stern lines on his face, devoid of his usual bold smile, were filled with contemplation.

Suddenly giving me two hundred taels?

To stir up jealousy towards me?

Really going to...

The thought arose, and the coldness in his brows deepened, his large hands clenching.

After a few breaths, a cold smile crossed his face. No matter what, after getting two hundred taels, heh heh.

Closing his eyes, he saw the information panel he saw every day for over two years.

Host: Li Daoqiang

Realm: Postnatal

Martial Arts: Dragon Elephant Prajna Power (2nd Level), Iron Shirt (Mastery), Stone-Crushing Palm (Mastery), Cicada-Stepping (Mastery)

Talent: Immune to All Poisons

Bandit Points: 50

The Great Bandit System, this is what Li Daoqiang calls his golden finger.

Over two years ago, in that blue planet, he, an orphan, had just graduated from university at the age of twenty-two.

Encouraged by a friend, he went to a place he couldn't describe to lose his virginity. Just as he was getting used to it and thinking it wasn't bad to not have a girlfriend, he mysteriously ended up in this strange and dangerous world.

He was picked up by Lin Sanlong and became a newly minted bandit.

At the same time, this Great Bandit System was activated.

The Great Bandit System is very straightforward. Anything he steals can be converted into Bandit Points.

So far, Bandit Points can only be used to advance martial arts.

But this function is already very powerful. At least Li Daoqiang is satisfied. He has survived in this world thanks to this system.

Upon arrival, he was given a big gift: the powerful martial art Dragon Elephant Prajna Power and the amazing talent of being immune to all poisons.

Over two years of being a穿越者, although he has only been wandering in this small fort, he feels somewhat embarrassed.

But after being educated by reality for over two years in the Black Dragon Fort, he has come to recognize the truth.

In this familiar yet strange, extremely dangerous martial world, a穿越者without strength is nothing.

He might be killed by some insignificant bandit.

Surviving is the real deal, and besides, everything is hard at the beginning. So he has been patiently staying in the Black Dragon Fort for over two years, accumulating his initial capital.

Now...

His eyes fixed on the Dragon Elephant Prajna Power, a hint of excitement flashed across his face. After calming down slightly, he got up and began to practice.

His internal energy flowed through the twelve main meridians as he practiced the third level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Power.

In the novels he read in his past life, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Power is quite famous. In this clearly high-martial world, its power is even more formidable, ranking among the top martial arts.

It is divided into thirteen levels, and according to the description, reaching the thirteenth level offers a chance to achieve the legendary Grandmaster realm.

Moreover, this art is rare in that it cultivates both internal and external strength, cultivating both internal energy and physical body.

The combination of internal and external strength makes it one of the top martial arts in the same realm, even among many powerful martial arts.

However, the difficulty of cultivation is also shocking.
