340 AD, Later Zhao, Youzhou,

Inside a remote village, a fourteen-year-old boy opened his eyes within a thatched hut with bare walls.

As he sat up in a daze, he couldn't help but clutch his head, which was splitting with pain.

Yet the moment he lowered his hand, Zhang Cheng felt tears falling continuously.

"Why is this? Is it because of liberation?"

He stood up in confusion, and as Zhang Cheng looked at his own emaciated body, he suddenly understood why his predecessor had died.

Because this chaotic world, it eats people!

291 AD, the War of the Eight Princes broke out in Western Jin, and its disaster lasted for sixteen years, leading to the emptiness of the north and the entry of Hu tribes into the Central Plains.

The gentry moved south, Eastern Jin was established, but the northern people became abandoned pawns; countless people had their spines broken and became lower-class people, "two-legged sheep"!

Standing on a hill where no one had lived for a hundred miles, Zhang Cheng looked at the dried-up river and the cracked earth, and light appeared in his eyes as he said: "People shouldn't live like this!"

Taking a tattered hemp cloth garment from his home, Zhang Cheng put it on and then walked away firmly toward the distance.

The entire village no longer had any living people, and he was also leaving.

If he could return in the future, this would be the land of his ancestors' rise; if he couldn't return, then no one would care about a small pebble like him.

Heading north all the way, Zhang Cheng intended to join the army.

Because he could no longer rely on the barren land to survive, and natural and man-made disasters were always the theme of chaotic times.

Either he would tear this chaotic world apart, or he would be dragged into the abyss!

Half a month later, relying on the physique after the transmission was completed, Zhang Cheng arrived at Jizhou City with difficulty.

Looking at the towering city gate before him, stained with blood and arrows, he suddenly understood one thing: even if he came here, his predecessor might not necessarily live long!

After all, relying on such a body, it was truly too difficult for him to survive on the battlefield!

"Kid, what are you doing here?"

Looking at the emaciated Zhang Cheng before him, the soldier standing in front of the military camp couldn't help but scold him.

"Join the army!"

Raising his head, Zhang Cheng spoke with determination.

"You, join the army? Hahahaha, do you have two taels of meat on you? Even for bone soup, you wouldn't qualify!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng mockingly, the soldiers immediately began to ridicule him.

Hearing the two men's words, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say: "I will die sooner or later, so I might as well die on the battlefield with a full stomach!"

"Interesting, you want to join the army, then you have to ask our officer!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, the soldier couldn't help but laugh loudly.

Because it wasn't that they hadn't seen people like Zhang Cheng, but they were a military camp, not a refugee camp, and they couldn't just take anyone.

"What are you laughing at? You're not even doing your duty guarding the gate, do you want to get whipped?"

Roaring as he stepped forward, an officer with a thick beard looked at Zhang Cheng and the gate-guarding soldiers and reprimanded them.

"Sir, this kid wants to join the army!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, the gate-guarding soldier immediately explained.

"Join the army?"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the officer couldn't help but become interested, because it wasn't that he hadn't seen people who wanted to join the army, but he was seeing someone like Zhang Cheng for the first time.

He was so emaciated it was unbelievable; one could see his ribs at a glance, and even his clothes had many holes, as if he could fall over with the wind at any moment.

"This is a military camp, what can you do, kid?"

Questioning Zhang Cheng, the officer stared at him with a face full of mockery.

"I can kill! As long as I can survive, that's enough!"

Raising his head, Zhang Cheng looked at the officer and couldn't help but explain.

"Hahaha, this kid can even kill? Can you hold a sword tightly?"

Unable to hold back his laughter, the officer was amused at this moment.

"I can kill for you to see!"

Looking at the officer before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but become serious.

Because if he couldn't join the army in Later Zhao, he would only be able to go south.

Not to mention how hard that journey would be, even his body wouldn't be able to hold out until then.

Moreover, Later Zhao was the front line against the Yuwen Xianbei; to stop the northern Hu people from continuing to grow, Zhang Cheng had to be nailed here and then rise with the trend.

"Good, I'll see if you're capable!"

Curling the corners of his mouth, the officer also became interested; after all, he was idle anyway, so he might as well treat it as entertainment.

Besides, even if Zhang Cheng were killed, it wouldn't matter; in this era, human life was like grass anyway!

Hearing the news of a young boy joining the army, many people came out of their tents and began to tease and place bets.

!

Inside a venue like a gladiator arena, a defeated Yuwen Xianbei man was pushed out.

And looking at the tall and sturdy Yuwen Xianbei man before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Because he could feel that the killing intent on the other party was clearly not that of a simple character.

"Old Wang, giving this kid such a troublesome guy right off the bat, you don't intend for him to live!"

Laughing as he stepped forward, a deputy general came to the officer's side.

Hearing the other party's words, Old Wang said: "This kid, living is also suffering, might as well be liberated early!"

"You're right, in this chaotic world, living is too much of a torment!"

Laughing as he spoke, the deputy general couldn't help but have his eyes flicker.

"Go on, kid, don't be afraid, it's just a matter of one sword strike, it won't hurt!"

"Yuwen Xianbei, hurry up and slaughter this kid! I've placed a bet on you!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Amidst the shouts of the crowd, Zhang Cheng and the Yuwen Xianbei man both received weapons.

Staring fixedly at the other party, Zhang Cheng held a sword in his hand with a very serious expression.

"Haa!"

With a roar, the Yuwen Xianbei man immediately charged up, his long sword slashing down.

Dodging quickly, Zhang Cheng then swept forward.

"Clatter!"

His thigh was scratched, the Yuwen Xianbei man immediately roared, and then charged up like a beast.

Looking at the other party's unstoppable momentum, Zhang Cheng also stared coldly at him, then roared and charged up.

"Squish!"

Two figures crossed, and a long sword pierced through the other party's chest.

Gritting his teeth and twisting the long sword, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but look ferocious.

"Whoosh!"

Fresh blood splashed onto his cheeks, and the hot blood immediately made him roar.

"This kid is capable, he actually knew how to feign weakness!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Old Wang, the officer, laughed.

And the deputy general beside him, hearing this, said with a smile: "Not bad, he can be a grain transporter!"

"Ah!"

With a roar, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but howl, as if venting his anger.

In this world, even if it eats people, he was unwilling to go south, because standing still was never an option!

He wanted to end this chaotic world step by step, he wanted to reach the very top!

And just as Zhang Cheng turned his head, the deputy general said with quite a bit of appreciation: "Interesting, hahaha!"
