In a quiet alley, a muttering voice arose.
"Ugh... what's wrong with me?"
"Why is my head hurting so much?!"
The young man touched his head and slowly sat up, surveying his surroundings.
He found himself in a deep, dark alley, with only a few streaks of starlight falling within.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment, the young man wondered, "Huh?! Didn't I die? How did I end up here?"
Just as he was confused, a strange yet familiar memory surged forth.
The jumbled memories made the young man's head split with pain again. After a long while, he slowly recovered.
"So I transmigrated, and this body is also called Lu Feng!" the young man said, looking incredulous.
He was originally a delivery driver in the 21st century. On his way to a delivery, he collided with a hundred-ton truck, and his soul then transmigrated into this body.
The original owner of this body was a Constable living in ancient times. Although there was a world of difference between them, the only similarity was that they both shared the name Lu Feng.
After sorting through the memories in his mind, Lu Feng slowly got up, a look of helplessness and annoyance on his face.
"Sigh, since I'm here, I'll make the best of it. I need to leave here first."
With that, he prepared to walk out of the alley, but felt a sticky sensation on his hand.
Looking down, he saw that the hand he had used to touch his head was covered in bloodstains.
"This..."
Seeing this, Lu Feng hurriedly checked his own condition. He saw a finger-length wound on his head.
Fortunately, the wound was slowly healing, and the bloodstains on his right hand were from the blood flowing from his head.
"I remember now. The original owner was invited to dinner by the Caobang Gang tonight. After eating and drinking their fill, he was attacked by ruffians on his way home."
As for who the ruffians were, he didn't know, but the matter was definitely related to the Caobang Gang.
The reason he was able to transmigrate into the original owner's body was likely because the original owner had already been attacked and killed by the ruffians, leading to this situation.
Thinking of this, Lu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.
"No, it's not safe here. I need to get home quickly."
Lu Feng said as he stepped out of the alley. However, the wound on his head had not fully healed, so he could only endure the pain and walk back to the original owner's home step by step.
Fortunately, he didn't encounter any other dangers along the way. As soon as he returned home, he locked the door.
Then, he took out bandages and made a simple dressing for his head.
After doing this, Lu Feng sat on a chair, closed his eyes, and pondered. He then carefully examined the original owner's memories to find out who had attacked him.
After investigating, he discovered that the world the original owner inhabited was not a traditional ancient dynasty.
It was a world with martial arts elements!
For example, the original owner himself practiced a family martial art called Cloud-Dispelling Palm. Although it wasn't a top-tier martial art, it was considered a graded one.
If cultivated to great mastery, it could shatter stone and break water, taking a life with a single palm strike.
Unfortunately, the original owner had no talent for martial arts since childhood and was usually lazy and not dedicated to practicing. Therefore, after six years of practice, he had only managed to reach the introductory level of Cloud-Dispelling Palm.
As for the original owner's identity as a Constable, it was inherited from his deceased father.
Don't underestimate the Constable position; although it was the lowest-ranking official, it was at least a position within the system. Moreover, the monthly salary was two taels of Silver.
Although the money wasn't much, it was enough to support himself.
After investigating the original owner's memories, Lu Feng still couldn't find out who wanted to harm him.
"Well, forget it. Since I can't find out, I'll try this family martial art first!"
As someone from the 21st century, he had a strong interest in the martial arts of this world.
Subsequently, he got up and went into the courtyard. He raised his hand and struck out at a large tree in the courtyard.
"Bang!"
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
The thick tree merely swayed its branches, not causing much of a stir.
This palm strike was not Cloud-Dispelling Palm, just his ordinary strike.
Judging by the tree's reaction, the force of this strike had already surpassed that of an ordinary person.
Lu Feng looked at his right hand and then directly used the first form of Cloud-Dispelling Palm, "Flowing Water, Moving Clouds."
"Bang!"
A dull thud sounded. The tree swayed slightly, and a shallow palm print appeared on its trunk.
The power of this palm strike was clearly much stronger than the previous one. If it were to hit an ordinary person, it would definitely break their bones.
"Hoo! So martial arts in this world are this powerful!" Lu Feng exclaimed in surprise.
Just then, a virtual panel appeared before him, and a prompt appeared on the panel.
[You used Cloud-Dispelling Palm once, Proficiency +1]
[Name: Lu Feng] [Age: 19/50] [Realm: Third-Rank Martial Artist] [Cultivation Method: None] [Martial Skill: Cloud-Dispelling Palm (High-Grade, Lower-Tier, Novice 55/100)]
Seeing the strange panel before him, Lu Feng was stunned at first, then he understood.
This panel must be his cheat.
Seeing this, Lu Feng stood in the courtyard and began to converse with the panel. No matter how he called out, this virtual panel did not respond.
"Huh?! It's not one of those talking systems?"
The panel only appeared after he used Cloud-Dispelling Palm just now. Since that was the case, he would do it again.
So, Lu Feng circulated the Internal Force within his body again, then struck the big tree with another move, Flowing Clouds and Water.
There was a dull thud, followed by another prompt on the panel.
[You used Cloud-Dispelling Palm once, Proficiency +1]
And the 55 in the Cloud-Dispelling Palm section of the panel turned into 56!
Seeing this, Lu Feng roughly guessed the purpose of this cheat.
According to his deductions, as long as he practiced Cloud-Dispelling Palm 100 times, this martial skill could be upgraded from Novice to Minor Accomplishment.
As for the High-Grade, Lower-Tier behind Cloud-Dispelling Palm, that was the tier of this martial skill.
And the Third-Rank Martial Artist was his current Martial Realm.
"So that's how it is!" Lu Feng mused, stroking his chin. "According to the original host's father, if Cloud-Dispelling Palm is trained to Minor Accomplishment, he could break through to become a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist, and even Fifth-Rank is possible."
The Novice-level Cloud-Dispelling Palm could only use the first three palms of the skill, and it was somewhat lacking in both power and adaptability.
He remembered that the original host's father had cultivated this martial skill to the Minor Accomplishment realm. With one palm strike, he could directly snap a sapling the size of a bowl.
However, the original host's martial talent was too poor. Even with diligent practice, he could at most cultivate this martial skill to Minor Accomplishment. As for Major Accomplishment, that was out of the question.
Coupled with the original host's lack of interest in martial arts, it was difficult for him to achieve much in this life.
Fortunately, with this Proficiency Panel now, he could master any martial skill with ease.
After understanding the function of his cheat, Lu Feng stood in the courtyard, lost in thought.
Although he now had a cheat, his own strength was still too low, and there were also villains who wanted to harm him.
Therefore, he had to improve his strength as quickly as possible and find out who wanted to harm him.
Even though he was no longer the original host, the villains who wanted to harm him wouldn't think so.
Lu Feng gently touched his injured head, then said helplessly, "Well, I'll just get a good night's rest first."
