Opening

The sky outside had turned completely dark, with the bright moon partially hidden and the stars shining.

After finding a temporary inn to stay at, Bai Haoxuan lay in bed but found himself unable to sleep.

How had things come to this?

Transmigrating and being reborn, experiencing the onset of winter...

This world seemed to have undergone many changes, but the greatest change was Xiao Han.

Although the South wasn't his home, he had memories of it that felt just like home.

Bai Haoxuan's parents had both passed away in a car accident, but Aunt Song had treated him extremely well, almost like a second mother to him. As for Xiao Han, she was like a treasured little sister to him.

In his previous life, he had arrived in the South at this time and had been living at Aunt Song's house ever since. Then, he had grown up under the same roof as Xiao Han, going to school, finding a job, and becoming an adult... What unforgettable memories.

Bai Haoxuan let out a sigh. It was just that now Xiao Han had changed so much that he hadn't even set foot in Aunt Song's house. He wasn't sure what to do next.

But forget about that for now.

Another strange thing that had happened today was the skill of the thief who had tried to steal his bag and the railway personnel. Their movements had been so impressive, like they were in a martial arts movie... And what was that "Warrior World" they had mentioned?

Bai Haoxuan reached into his pocket to pull out his phone to search the internet, but he felt a chill on his fingertips as he touched a metallic object.

Was it the thing that had fallen out of the thief's pocket that he had picked up?

He took it out and examined it closely. It was a small, delicate, oval-shaped piece of metal, glinting with a faint golden light under the lamp.

"What is this?" Bai Haoxuan didn't know what it was, and just as he was about to take a closer look, the metal disk touched his forehead and emitted a soft "buzz."

A strange wave of energy spread through his body, and Bai Haoxuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light. The next moment, he fell softly onto the bed, slipping into unconsciousness.

"Hello and welcome to Warrior World!"

A beautiful female voice suddenly resounded in Bai Haoxuan's mind, and he woke up abruptly, in the world of warriors?

"Welcome... detecting your mental abnormality... retesting... God of War... Alright, welcome to your first visit to the world of warriors!"

The female voice had intermittent fluctuations for a while before returning to normal rhythm. Bai Haoxuan frowned, why did she say it again?

"Now let me give you a simple introduction," the female voice continued, "The world of warriors is the highest technological crystallization in the world today. It can unite people from all over the world in their dreams and form a half-virtual and half-real spiritual world!"

"Here, you can leave behind the complexities of the economy and technology and return to the origin. Everything is dominated by martial arts!"

"To be the best in martial arts and to serve the country is to be a warrior! The pinnacle of a warrior is to become a god of war!"

"Here, you can return to your instincts, use your most primitive body, and use the most exquisite martial arts to create another brilliance!"

"Enlightenment and harmony between heaven and man, the generation of martial arts masters, and the peerless God of War!"

"The world of warriors wishes you well. Maybe you will become the world's first god of war in the future! Now, please start your journey of cultivation. By the way, a tip..."

The female voice said very mysteriously, "In the cultivation in the world of warriors, one to ten percent will benefit yourself, but there are many more mysteries waiting for you to explore on your own."

The next moment, there was finally a bright light in front of him, and a magnificent scene unfolded before Bai Haoxuan's eyes.

Wow!

Even Bai Haoxuan's two lifetimes of experience could not bear it, and he yelled out.

What he saw was a green landscape, with gardens, pavilions, courtyards, streets, and rivers interweaved. You could see pavilions, terraces, and houses at a glance, most of which were made of green bricks and tiles, like a beautiful ink landscape painting after rain, and people seemed to have walked into the painting.

In addition, there were people.

Many people, men and women, young and old, some of whom were still children, but most of them were young people in their twenties.

Each of them wore costumes that could only be seen in historical TV dramas. They swayed their sleeves and played with knives and swords in various ways. Occasionally, someone would ride a tall horse and gallop past the crowd, causing a wave of admiring cheers.

In addition, not far away was a group of more than ten beautiful painted boats moored in the water, with colorful lights and a bustling street next to it, with several tall buildings.

Green lotus sedan chairs were rare, but there were many beautiful women in the crowd, wearing costumes of female knights and court ladies, talking and giggling.

There was a common point that regardless of gender, half of their faces were covered by a mask, for men it was a green scarf, and for women it was a light veil, only revealing a pair of eyes.

In the distance, there were loud shouts and cheers from the crowd.

This was the world of warriors?

Bai Haoxuan's heart couldn't help but beat faster. As someone who had lived two lives, he had never seen such a scene before. This was really... He looked left and right, gazed around, but he couldn't see any flaws. It was like a real world!

Excited, he took a step forward, but he couldn't move. The sweet female voice reminded him, "First, concentrate and form the image of yourself appearing in front of others. It can be the same as the person in real life, or it can be different, but the greater the difference, or the more clothing and objects attached, the more mental energy it will consume. It may cause additional burden on you."

Bai Haoxuan was shocked, "This depends on my mental energy?"

"Yes, it can be called soul power, because this is a materialized mental world."

The woman explained, "Some newcomers can't even form their own image, but this is normal. As long as you practice, you can quickly... Oops!"

The "Bai Haoxuan" in front of him, which was originally like a blob, soon changed. Bit by bit, his eyes, nose, mouth, hands, feet, and corresponding clothing and objects appeared. Except for a mask that was automatically generated, the other parts quickly became clear, and a brand new Bai Haoxuan appeared in front of him.

"This... only took less than ten seconds. How is that possible? He is clearly a newcomer to the warrior world!"

The woman murmured to herself. Such a person proved that his mental power was far beyond that of ordinary people. Should she report him?

This idea may have been malicious to Bai Haoxuan, but he didn't realize it. There was a faint golden light flashing from his body, and he suddenly broke away from some kind of restraint. With a loud noise, he was flung thousands of kilometers away and disappeared from sight.

"Is the mask automatically generated?... So weapons can also be created by oneself?... Hey, hey, are you still there?"

Bai Haoxuan called several times, but he didn't hear the sweet female voice's response. He shrugged and said, "It looks like she's gone. It's only been a few sentences. The quality of service needs to be improved..."

He didn't know that in a place deep underground, thousands of meters below the imperial capital, like a science fiction castle heavily guarded, a large group of researchers had already started to panic:

"What happened?!"

"What just happened?!"

"The warrior world has called the police?... Are you kidding me? Can there be problems in the warrior world?"

"No, it's not a problem with the warrior world. It seems that someone's mental power has exceeded the threshold, and even the service thread has been flung away..."

"Oh? Is the service thread randomizing a real person or a system... If it's a real person, that's great. Thank God. Quickly contact her, hurry, right now!"

...

Bai Haoxuan didn't know any of this. After confirming that there were no more prompts, he could only move forward in confusion.

What exactly was this world of warriors for?

Were people from all over the world gathering to play some kind of game? Do Westerners come to Eastern servers to play in an Eastern style?

Oh no, wasn't it said that this was a human dream world? So is it some kind of high-tech world that doesn't need servers?

He was born in a very remote corner, step by step approaching the crowded streets, and the scene before him became noisy.

"Take a look, the latest models of swords, Longquan, Zhanlu, Tai'a, Yuchang... everything you could want! Truly produced by Qingxiatian, Qingxiatian!"

"Big Huandan, small Huandan, Jinchuangyao, antidote powder... Shaolin, Wudang schools... made by masters personally... limited quantity, buy now!"

"Gorgeous women's clothing woven from ice silkworms, instantly making you beautiful and charming, becoming one of the top ten beauties in the world of warriors... come take a look, only one available, sold for only ten taels of gold!"

"Passers-by, don't miss out..."

These were all people shouting to do business.

"Do you want to go to a top university like 985 or 211? Nanda certification enrollment site is recruiting, as long as you have the qualifications, you can be exempt from all high school entrance exams and become a top student at Nanda, in the Wu Shen Directly-Managed Class! Admission without exam! All benefits are top-notch!"

"East University..."

"West University..."

And this?!

Bai Haoxuan was both shocked and delighted. He remembered that he had attended Nanda in his previous life. Right, now he was in the second half of his high school senior year vacation, which meant that he only had the last half year before he would face the arduous journey of crossing a narrow bridge among a thousand troops again!

It was not easy to get into Nanda in his previous life, but now Nanda was recruiting here, and exempting students from taking entrance exams. Wasn't this too good to be true?

But it's not just the likes of Nanjing University and East China Normal University nearby. Even further away in the crowd, there are signs for Wuhan University, Tianjin University, and Imperial University! Those are the top universities in the country, is it really that easy?

What kind of world is this warriors world?

It was quite a struggle for Bai Haoxuan to hold himself back from approaching. It shouldn't be that easy, right? Didn't they say that aptitude needs to be high?

What exactly is this aptitude they are referring to? He needs to understand it first.

Looking around, Bai Haoxuan saw a multitude of people gathered not far away, shouting and creating a commotion. Are they having a fighting competition?

This caught Bai Haoxuan's attention, and he unconsciously walked over and stood at the edge of the crowd, gazing inside.

The platform was originally the largest restaurant in the area, called Wangjianglou. The open space outside was simply constructed, and it became a large martial arts arena.

Now it has been packed with people, and there are people around in charge of maintaining order. Apart from famous martial arts masters and legends, ordinary people have a hard time getting within ten meters of it.

Most of the people watching the show below are just idle bystanders who don't care about these things. However, many of the men and women are handsome and beautiful, and their eyes are full of energy. Clearly, they are not ordinary people.

"There are some who are really different..."

Bai Haoxuan thought to himself: "If it wasn't for deliberately shaping their physical image like this when they condensed their bodies, then it's true that this warriors world really has some kind of martial arts secrets that can be practiced to become stronger?"

"If there are such secrets, how can they be obtained?"

Thinking of the earlier introduction, "In the warriors world, one to ten percent of cultivation will feed back into oneself, with even more mysteries..." and so on, Bai Haoxuan's heart couldn't help but feel excited. Could this be the biggest attraction of the warrior's world?

As he was thinking, a figure flashed in mid-air and a man in blue clothes jumped onto the stage. The stage was over ten feet high, but the man in blue clothes jumped up effortlessly, showing his exceptional skill. Someone introduced him loudly, "A master of Five Elements Fist, Dragon Lao Wu!" The applause below was thunderous. Bai Haoxuan frowned. Dragon Lao Wu must have been using a fake name. He also had a mask covering his face, only revealing his eyes. Maybe he was really a master, but was he really that popular?

Then, on the other side of the stage, another person climbed onto it, and Bai Haoxuan was surprised, "It's an Indian?!" He didn't expect the other side to be a dark-skinned Indian with completely different features from him. He was burly and stood on the stage with his head held high, showing contempt for his opponent and the audience below.
