Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Zhang Ling looked at everyone and sneered in his heart.

"Since you are seeking death, don't blame me for being rude!"

Zhang Ling rushed forward, brandishing his sword...

Zhang Ling looked carefully and found that the person coming was the woman in white who had saved him earlier.

The woman was still dressed in white, looking as graceful as a fairy, but at this moment there was a barely perceptible coldness on her face.

"It's you!" Zhang Ling exclaimed, feeling mixed emotions. Surprise, confusion, and the inexplicable emotions from before all surged into his mind.

The woman didn't say anything, but just walked quietly to Zhang Ling, staring at him with her clear eyes.

"You...how come you are here?" Zhang Ling broke the silence first, with a hint of trembling in his tone.

The woman still did not answer, but reached out her hand and gently stroked Zhang Ling's cheek, as gently as before.

"Who are you?" Zhang Ling asked again, his heart beating faster involuntarily.

The corners of the woman's mouth slightly raised, revealing a mysterious smile: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you are about to become an emperor."

Zhang Ling was shocked. The woman's words were exactly the same as what the system had said before. Could there be some connection between this woman and the system?

"You...you know the system?" Zhang Ling asked tentatively.

The woman withdrew her hand and chuckled: "I know a lot of things, including your past and your future."

Zhang Ling was even more confused. Who was this woman? Why did she know so much?

"What exactly do you want to do?" Zhang Ling asked vigilantly, and his body unconsciously took a step back.

The woman did not answer, but turned and walked to the depths of the cave, turned her back to Zhang Ling and said, "Follow me."

Zhang Ling hesitated for a moment, but finally followed.

There is a different world deep in the cave.

A huge underground space appeared in front of Zhang Ling. In the center of the space stood an ancient altar.

The altar was engraved with strange runes, emitting a faint golden light.

"What is this place?" Zhang Ling exclaimed.

"This is the starting point of the road to emperorship." The woman turned around, with a strange light flashing in her eyes.

"The road to becoming an emperor?" Zhang Ling was puzzled.

The woman walked to the center of the altar and said slowly: "If you want to become an emperor, you must accept the emperor's baptism."

"The Emperor's Baptism?"

"That's right." The woman nodded, "Only through baptism can you gain the power of an emperor and rule the world."

"How to be baptized?" Zhang Ling asked impatiently.

The woman pointed to the rune in the center of the altar and said, "Stand in the center of the rune, close your eyes, and feel the power of the emperor with your heart."

Zhang Ling took a deep breath, walked to the center of the altar, and followed the woman's instructions, closing his eyes and concentrating.

A powerful energy instantly surged into his body, and he felt as if his body was about to explode.

"Ah!" Zhang Ling couldn't help but let out a groan of pain.

The woman stood aside, looking at him quietly, with a complicated look in her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, the energy gradually subsided and Zhang Ling slowly opened his eyes.

He felt his body was full of strength, as if he had infinite energy.

"Congratulations, you have completed the baptism of the emperor." The woman said with a smile.

Zhang Ling clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body, his heart filled with excitement and excitement.

"Thank you." Zhang Ling said sincerely.

The woman shook her head and said, "No need to thank me, you deserve it."

"What should I do next?" Zhang Ling asked.

The woman groaned for a moment and said, "You need to build your own power, recruit talents, and accumulate strength."

"How can I do this?" Zhang Ling asked humbly.

The woman smiled and said, "I will help you."

"Really?" Zhang Ling was extremely surprised.

The woman nodded and said, "I will teach you the secrets of being an emperor, how to lead an army, and how to govern a country."

In the following days, Zhang Ling began arduous training and learning under the guidance of the woman.

The woman not only taught him the secrets of being an emperor, but also taught him military tactics, strategies, etc., covering almost every aspect of governing a country and maintaining peace.

Zhang Ling is like a dry sponge, greedily absorbing the rain and dew of knowledge.

He trains hard every day and dares not slack off for the moment.

He knew that he was shouldering a huge mission and that he had to become strong as soon as possible in order to realize his dream of becoming an emperor.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

Zhang Ling's progress was rapid. He had already mastered the essence of the emperor's mind-set, and his martial arts skills had also improved by leaps and bounds.

He began to recruit soldiers and form his own army.

He appointed talented people as generals, formulated strict military regulations, and trained a disciplined and powerful army.

He also promulgated a series of policies to develop agriculture and commerce, improve people's livelihood, and enable the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

His reputation grew, and more and more people began to join him.

His power grew stronger and stronger, and he gradually became a force that could not be ignored.

However, just when he was in high spirits, a sudden crisis was quietly approaching...

Zhang Ling looked closely and found that the person who came was the woman in white who had saved him earlier. She was still dressed in white clothes as white as snow, and looked like a fairy, but at this moment, there was a trace of imperceptible worry on her face.

"It's you!" Zhang Ling blurted out, feeling a mixture of emotions: surprise, confusion, gratitude, and a hint of inexplicable excitement.

The woman nodded slightly and said, "My name is Bai Ningshuang."

"Bai Ningshuang..." Zhang Ling repeated the name silently, as if it were some kind of ancient spell, which made his heart flutter.

"You...how come you are here?" Zhang Ling asked, with a hint of trembling in his tone.

Bai Ningshuang did not answer directly, but asked: "How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhang Ling then remembered that he was unconscious before, and the "Emperor System" that suddenly appeared. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I... I seemed to have had a dream, in which someone said that I activated some kind of Emperor System..."

There was a barely perceptible gleam in Bai Ningshuang's eyes. She walked to Zhang Ling and looked at him carefully, as if she wanted to see through him.

"Emperor System..." Bai Ningshuang murmured to herself, with a hint of doubt in her tone, "Could it be that the prophecy is true..."

Zhang Ling was completely confused and had no idea what Bai Ningshuang was talking about. He just felt that Bai Ningshuang's eyes made him very uncomfortable, as if she saw through everything about him.

"Prophecy? What prophecy?" Zhang Ling couldn't help but ask.

Bai Ningshuang retracted her gaze, sighed softly, and said: "It is not the time to tell you now. You just need to know that your destiny is extraordinary, and you are destined to achieve great things."

Zhang Ling became even more confused. He felt like he had fallen into a huge mystery. There was fog everywhere and he couldn't see the direction clearly.

"I...I don't understand anything..." Zhang Ling said blankly.

Bai Ningshuang reached out her hand and gently stroked Zhang Ling's cheek, saying in a gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you and help you until you become an emperor."

Zhang Ling's heartbeat quickened again. He felt like Bai Ningshuang's fingers were carrying electric currents, making his whole body numb.

He wanted to dodge, but couldn't bear to, so he could only let Bai Ningshuang's fingers wander on his face.

"A great emperor..." Zhang Ling murmured to himself, his heart full of desire and ambition.

He was originally an ordinary modern man and never thought that he would be associated with the word "emperor".

But now, he felt a power surging in his body, a desire to conquer everything burning.

"Can I... really become an emperor?" Zhang Ling asked, his tone full of uncertainty.

Bai Ningshuang nodded firmly and said, "Of course! You have the talent to be an emperor, you are destined to rule the world!"

Zhang Ling looked at Bai Ningshuang's determined eyes, and his heart was filled with confidence and strength.

He felt like a person lost in the darkness who suddenly saw a ray of light and found the direction to move forward.

"I will definitely become an emperor! I will definitely rule the world!" Zhang Ling swore secretly in his heart.

Bai Ningshuang smiled slightly and said, "I believe you. Now, you need to improve your strength as quickly as possible. Only with strong strength can you survive in this chaotic world."

"Improve your strength?" Zhang Ling asked doubtfully, "How can I improve my strength?"

Bai Ningshuang smiled mysteriously and said, "Didn't you activate the Emperor System? The Emperor System will help you improve your strength."

Zhang Ling then remembered the mechanical voice from before, and he quickly recited "Emperor System" in his heart.

The virtual interface appeared in front of his eyes again, displaying various information.

"This...what on earth is this thing?" Zhang Ling exclaimed.

Bai Ningshuang explained: "This is the Emperor System. It can help you improve your strength, recruit talents, develop the country, and so on."

Zhang Ling looked at the various functions on the interface, his heart filled with curiosity and excitement.

He felt like he had obtained a magical artifact, a magical artifact that could help him change his destiny.

"How do I use the Emperor System?" Zhang Ling asked impatiently.

Bai Ningshuang explained patiently: "The Emperor System has many functions, and you can control it with your mind. For example, you can check your attributes, learn skills, recruit soldiers, and so on."

Following Bai Ningshuang's instructions, Zhang Ling began to try using the Emperor System.

He discovered that the Emperor System was very simple to operate and could be controlled with just the power of thought.

He checked his attributes and found that they were all very low, even lower than that of an ordinary soldier.

"Why are my attributes so low?" Zhang Ling asked with some disappointment.

Bai Ningshuang comforted her: "Don't worry, this is only temporary. As you complete the tasks, your attributes will continue to improve."

"Mission?" Zhang Ling asked doubtfully, "What mission?"

Bai Ningshuang explained: "The Emperor System will issue various tasks. You can get rewards and improve your strength by completing the tasks."

"So that's how it is." Zhang Ling nodded, his heart full of anticipation.

He couldn't wait to complete the task and improve his strength.

Just then, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the cave.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ling asked vigilantly.

Bai Ningshuang's face changed and she said, "Oh no! Someone is coming!"

"Who?" Zhang Ling asked.

Bai Ningshuang said in a deep voice: "It's the people who are chasing you!"

Zhang Ling was shocked and asked quickly, "Catch me? Why?"

Bai Ningshuang did not explain, but took Zhang Ling's hand and said, "It's too late to explain, let's go!"

After saying that, Bai Ningshuang dragged Zhang Ling towards the depths of the cave...

Deep in the cave, it was cold and damp, with a strong musty smell. Zhang Ling was pulled by Bai Ningshuang, stumbling forward, his heart filled with fear and confusion.
