Picking Up Attributes on the Battlefield: Starting from Xiangji Temple

In the first year of the Zhide era, the second year of the An-Shi Rebellion. The backbone of the Tang Dynasty was broken, the two capitals fell, and 40,000 Tang soldiers were annihilated at Chentao Slope. Li Cang crawled out of a pile of corpses and found himself to be a distant nephew of Li Siye, the 'Divine Power General.' This should have been a protective charm in troubled times, but it was also a death warrant leading to hell. He was destined to be drafted into the legendary army—the Mo Dao (long-bladed sword) unit. Familiar with history, Li Cang knew that nine months later, south of Chang'an, a battle that would go down in history as a meat grinder—the Battle of Xiangji Temple—would erupt. There, the Mo Dao unit would advance like a wall, crushing men and horses alike, with fewer than one in ten surviving. Fortunately, he awakened the [Battlefield Pickup System]. Touching a soldier who had just died, he obtained [Strength Fragment +1], [Basic Saber Technique]! Touching a fallen general, he obtained [Killing Qi Art], [Mo Dao Mastery]! ... Nine months later, at Xiangji Temple. When the Tang army's line wavered and Li Siye prepared to fight bare-chested, a figure like a god or demon, wielding two blunted Mo Dao, single-handedly shattered the rebel cavalry charge. 'Uncle, step back! This battle, let your nephew do the cutting!' From the corpse pile at Chentao Slope to the meat grinder at Xiangji Temple, and then to the dragon throne in Luoyang. My name is Li Cang, Cang meaning 'the common people.'
