Breaking Free

Inside the room, Qin Yan was carefully studying military texts!

With his current mental strength exceeding 2000, Qin Yan can easily achieve photographic memory and apply what he has learned to other situations!

[Command (Entry Level): Proficiency 72%]

Command ability requires extensive practice and can only be gradually improved by entering the battlefield.

In my previous life, I watched many military programs and studied various Stratagem strategies!

Upon arriving in this world, General Xu also sent over a large number of military books.

This allowed him to make rapid progress in Stratagem.

Especially in troop deployment simulations, his powerful computing capabilities allow him to continuously construct virtual battlefields in his mind!

In just one night, Qin Yan relied on his memories from his previous life and his experience in this life to...

I gradually leveled up both skills.

Class A, Earth Rank!

During martial arts class, Qin Yan was the most relaxed person.

The rest of the people were training by sparring in pairs.

No one dared to cross Qin Yan; Li Qing and Instructor Cao from yesterday were the best examples.

They were completely overwhelmed by force, even by most of the Martial Hall instructors!

"Qin Yan!"

At that moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a light blue robe, exuding the air of a scholar, found Qin Yan.

If this person lived in his previous life, he would definitely be a handsome and charismatic man!

"General Xu asked me to teach you."

You don't need to come to martial arts class anymore, come with me!

From today onwards, I will be your teacher.

You may call me Meng Fuzi!

Qin Yan looked at Meng Fuzi in front of him with a hint of surprise in his heart.

This person has no cultivation whatsoever.

He looks exactly like a frail scholar!

"It's Meng Fuzi!"

Qin Yan clasped his hands in a respectful bow.

Let's go!

Meng Fuzi smiled slightly upon seeing this.

The two soon arrived at a library!

"Qin Yan, which military books have you read?" Meng Fuzi wanted to know what level of military strategy the other party was at.

"General Xu gave me many military books yesterday, and I finished reading them all in one night."

I can recite everything from memory.

Qin Yan said very calmly.

His photographic memory has now reached an unbelievable level.

You won't forget it once you see it.

Upon hearing this, Meng Fuzi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qin Yan with a suspicious expression.

He had heard that General Xu had given the other party at least a hundred military books.

The content it covers is all-encompassing.

How could anyone possibly memorize it all in one night?

Qin Yan seemed to have guessed what the other party was thinking, and smiled confidently, "If Meng Fuzi doesn't believe me, he can test me."

"Good!"

Meng Fuzi did not refuse; he was also very curious whether Qin Yan had truly memorized everything!

Half an hour later, Meng Fuzi showed an expression as if he were looking at a monster.

He was called a child prodigy from a young age.

Even he couldn't possibly memorize so much information from a book overnight.

But Qin Yan did it.

It could even be said that he could recite it backwards.

Meng Fuzi was somewhat excited; not only was the other party exceptionally talented in martial arts, but he was equally adept at military campaigns.

"Since you can recite these military treatises from memory, it should save you a lot of trouble?"

Next, I'll teach you wargaming!

Although Meng Fuzi never commanded an army, he was quite accomplished in military strategy and tactics.

He served as a strategist for a general in his youth, and was later discovered by General Xu, who brought him to the Martial Hall as a teacher.

They are often able to explain the essentials of military strategy from simple to complex, using plain language to articulate the essence of military tactics.

Qin Yan listened attentively, absorbing knowledge like a dry sponge!

[Stratagem proficiency increased by 12%]

[Stratagem (Proficient Level): Current Proficiency 79%]

That's all for today. Go back and reflect on it carefully.

Meng Fuzi looked at Qin Yan with great satisfaction. This young man had exceptional military talent and occasionally revealed some ingenious ideas.

It amazed him.

It was no wonder that General Xu valued it so highly.

The two had not been separated for long.

Qin Yan then saw Han Chen!

The latter was waiting specifically for Qin Yan, and upon seeing him, immediately bowed deeply!

"Han Chen is grateful to Count of Qinghe for saving his life. If it weren't for your help, I'd probably be lying in bed right now."

Compared to the other party, Qin Yan was also quite surprised, not expecting Han Chen to take the initiative to come to him.

"I just don't like it when they bully the weak because of their status and power."

Qin Yan smiled and said, "But it was your performance yesterday that left a particularly deep impression on me."

"You've endured this for so long, why don't you continue to be as tolerant as before?"

Han Chen fell silent for a moment. "The more you give in, the more the other party will take advantage of you."

So I don't want to put up with it anymore.

I know I am no match for them, and I know the cost of resistance.

But eventually, someone had to step forward.

Tell them that we, children from ordinary families, are not to be bullied at will.

I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of dying in a meaningless way.

As he spoke, Han Chen's eyes reddened.

The more he learned, the more suffocated he felt.

Feeling lost about the future, with no way out in sight!

No matter how hard I try, I can't shake off the despair in my heart!

"Count of Qinghe, do you think there's any hope for us ordinary children?"

Qin Yan: "In terms of background, I am far inferior to you!"

When I was fourteen, my older brothers kicked me out of the house. Apart from a dilapidated house, there seemed to be nothing left.

My sister-in-law and her brothers wanted to cripple me, so I started to fight back. At first, I didn't dare to kill anyone.

Later I discovered this was a world that devours people without spitting out the bones!

I only have two choices: eat people or be eaten!

Qin Yan smiled as he looked at the other person's shocked expression, patted the other person's shoulder, and continued speaking.

"The strong uphold rules and order."

Because the strong are the creators and maintainers of rules and order, and they want to change the rules of the world as it is today.

You need to have enough power to rewrite the rules and order of this world.

I was once a member of a gang, and by chance, I joined the Demon-Suppressing Bureau, where I earned merit on the battlefield.

I searched for the ladder to becoming a strong person even in the most difficult circumstances.

Do you know why I did this?

Han Chen shook his head.

"The rules of this world are corrupt. Do you want to join me and become the one who can change the world?"

Qin Yan smiled sincerely.

Han Chen pointed to himself, "Me...?"

"Why can't it be me? Why can't it be you?"

Qin Yan pointed at the other person's chest. "Anyway, things can't get any worse than they are now, so giving it a try isn't a bad idea."

Han Chen stared blankly at the other person.

He could feel his heart pounding violently, as if something had broken free.
