Starting to Practice Swordsmanship from the Rural Area of the Second Dimension (1-323).

Summary

The chapter follows General Cheng as he navigates a battlefield where soldiers, despite their severe injuries, exhibit strange behavior, resembling puppets rather than fully aware humans. He captures one soldier, discovering that their bodies and brains are abnormal, suggesting they are controlled by some external force. As he traces signals from the soldier's brain, he finds a stark contrast between the chaotic battlefield and peaceful cabins in the nearby forest. A woman in a treehouse warns him about the demon controlling the soldiers, but he dismisses her concerns and continues his investigation. He eventually arrives at a ruin with a dark portal, sensing a demonic presence. Inside, he encounters various traps that pose no threat to him and three strange creatures that challenge him with riddles to proceed. General Cheng, seeing through their facade, prepares to answer their questions.
