Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

Previously, some prostitutes had offered to spend a pleasant evening with him, but Liang Jin had refused long ago.

He didn't expect them to be so persistent, even sending their top courtesan.

Liang Jin frowned slightly and immediately refused.

But the woman knelt on the ground, her face filled with sorrow, large tears falling as she began to recount her tragic life:

"Hero, you may not know, but this humble woman is named Liu Yuan, and I was originally from a wealthy family in Hanzhou City, but unfortunately, my family suffered a sudden catastrophe."

"My mother contracted a serious illness, and treating her cost us all our savings."

"My father, in an attempt to raise money, resorted to gambling, eventually becoming addicted and squandering our entire fortune."

"And I have a younger brother who is still young and unable to help in any way."

"The moneylenders from the gambling dens even broke into our home, injured my parents, and forcibly took me away to pay off debts. I was forced to become a prostitute against my will."

"If only the hero can save me from this sea of suffering, this humble woman is willing to serve you faithfully for the rest of my life!"

As she spoke, the woman, who claimed to be Liu Yuan, began to kowtow to Liang Jin.

The sound of her kowtowing was loud and resonant, coupled with her tearful eyes, making her a truly pitiful sight.

Liang Jin, however, was speechless.

A gambling father, a sick mother, a young brother, and a broken her.

How come, from ancient times to the present, the lines of these fallen women never change?

Liang Jin walked to the door and reopened it:

"Get out."

Liu Yuan was stunned but continued to plead.

"But unfortunately, two years ago, when the Great Qian army withdrew from the Western Desert, they were ambushed by enemy forces. In the chaos of war, I was separated from my parents."

"My parents may think that I have already died at the hands of the enemy, but they don't know that I escaped."

"Unfortunately, fate is not on my side. I just escaped the tiger's den, only to be kidnapped by bandits and forced to become a prostitute under their control, earning money for them."

"In fact, I am still a virgin, and those bandits want to auction off my virginity for a high price."

"If only the hero is willing to take me back to the Great Qian Dynasty to reunite with my parents, my father will surely bestow upon you a wealth that you can enjoy for a lifetime!"

Liang Jin had lost his patience.

This Liu Yuan was becoming more and more outrageous, first trying to arouse Liang Jin's sympathy, and then trying to lure him with benefits.

She was truly full of lies.

Why didn't she just say she was a princess looking for a son with a large sum of money?

Liang Jin showed no mercy, dragging her towards the door of the guest room.

Seeing that the lure of benefits was also ineffective, Liu Yuan could only speak coldly as she was being dragged:

"You're really an uninteresting kid. Do you know who is behind the stall owner you killed?"

"That's the famous bandit leader 'One-Knife' in this area of the desert. He is highly skilled in martial arts and always kills with a single strike."

"Now the pimp from the prostitute group has run to report you. It won't be long before One-Knife and his gang of bandits come to the hay shop."

"If you want to live, you'd better listen to me obediently. I know a way to escape and can lead you."

Liang Jin scoffed at her.

Luring with benefits didn't work, so now she was resorting to threats?

It is said that actors are heartless and prostitutes are unrighteous. Although this statement is somewhat biased, it is not entirely without reason.

Liang Jin raised his hand and threw Liu Yuan out the door.

Then, with a "bang!" he slammed the door shut.

After returning to the bed, Liang Jin recalled Liu Yuan's last words.

One-Knife…

He had heard this name before when chatting with people in the open space of the inn.

As long as he got the name, he would be able to use the [Thousand Mile Tracking] feature to check the other party's situation.

But Liang Jin wasn't sure whether nicknames would work.

He decided to try it out.

Immediately, Liang Jin entered the nickname "One-Knife" into the panel.

Soon, the panel displayed a string of information.

Many people called One-Knife began to appear on the map of the panel.

"This actually works?"

Liang Jin was quite surprised.

It seemed that the [Thousand Mile Tracking] feature worked not only with names but also with nicknames, and perhaps some special titles would also be effective.

Liang Jin looked closely at the map. There was only one red dot in the entire Western Desert, indicating that this red dot was the leader of the nearby bandits, One-Knife.

Judging from the distance, if he started from the hay shop and reached the location of the red dot, then returned, it would take about one night.

Liang Jin clicked on the red dot, and detailed information immediately appeared.

[Target: One-Knife]

[Location: Lizi Fort]

[Strength: Martial Artist Seventh Rank]

[Martial Arts: 《Meteor Knife》 (Eighth Level)]

Liang Jin frowned slightly upon seeing this:

"This is a master."

Not only was he a Seventh Rank martial artist, but the martial arts he practiced were also at a high level.

The highest level of martial arts is the Ninth Level, and this One-Knife only knew one knife technique, but he had practiced it to the Eighth Level.

The more martial arts a martial artist knows, the better is not necessarily true.

Having many but being proficient in none is often not as good as being specialized and refined.

One-Knife was a martial artist who specialized in knife techniques.

With such a high level of knife technique, he could definitely defeat most martial artists of the same rank!

Liang Jin was also only a Seventh Rank martial artist. If he faced One-Knife on his own…

He didn't have the confidence to win.

Liang Jin glanced at his own panel:

[Host: Liang Jin]

[Cultivation: Martial Artist Seventh Rank]

[Martial Arts: 《Forbidden Army Long Fist》 (Third Level), 《Coiling Dragon Staff Technique》 (Second Level), 《Taiyin Palm》 (Not Initiated), 《Great Subduing Demon Fist》 (Seventh Level), 《Northern Overlord Six Harmony Spear》 (Fifth Level), 《Bone Melting Cotton Palm》 (Not Initiated)]

[Traits: Talisman Water Heals, Thousand Mile Tracking]

[Number of Incarnations: 2]

[Items: Tiger Subduing Pill × 5, Longevity Paste × 1, Bone Strengthening Medicine × 5, Battle Puppet (Wasteland Wanderer)]

With daily check-ins, the proficiency of 《Great Subduing Demon Fist》 and 《Northern Overlord Six Harmony Spear》 had been improved.

His martial artist realm had probably reached the peak of the Seventh Rank.

On paper, the data was quite impressive.

But…

Duels between martial artists are not just about comparing data.

One-Knife had been famous for a long time, had rich combat experience, and his fighting will was beyond doubt.

Although Liang Jin's data was not weaker than One-Knife's, he was lacking in other aspects.

In the Forbidden Army, he didn't have many opportunities to go out to fight and kill enemies.

His daily training was more about developing obedience and formation coordination with his comrades.

Moreover, Liang Jin's martial arts improvements were all due to the system's check-ins.

Compared to those who truly improved their martial arts through years of training, there was naturally a gap.

If he used the various items in the [Item Bar], Liang Jin could win steadily, but this would not help his own growth much.

Not using a cheat when you have one is stupid.

But using a cheat doesn't necessarily mean relying on it entirely. Since it's not an invincible cheat, then improving your own skills is the only way to go further.

"One-Knife…"

Liang Jin was now looking forward to the bandit leader really coming.

There were not many places where one could kill at will.

A place like the Western Desert had, to some extent, become a paradise for martial artists.

Liang Jin stroked his chin:

"Since I've come to this place, I'll treat it as an opportunity to temper myself."

"Although I have too many advantages on paper, if I'm not strong enough myself, I'll inevitably suffer when I encounter strong enemies in the future."

"The Giant Cow Village incarnation enhances 'momentum,' so this incarnation will enhance 'strength.'"
