Leveling Up Twice in a Row

"You insects actually dared to imprison my lord. Even sending you to hell would be too light a punishment."

Daji smiled sweetly at the Imperial Guard soldiers. Though she was smiling, her words sent chills down their spines.

Qin Jun stared at Daji, utterly dumbfounded. She was too beautiful—on a completely different level from the female celebrities he had seen on television in his previous life, as though she had stepped out of a painting.

"Bold! Who are you? How dare you obstruct the kingdom's Imperial Guards!"

The Captain of the Imperial Guards spoke in a low voice. Though they had all been stunned by Daji's beauty, they were even more wary of her.

The aura of a powerful expert emanating from Daji made their hearts pound with terror. They had never felt such pressure even when facing the kingdom's Great General.

Void Transformation Fifth Layer!

Qin Jun had never heard of the Void Transformation Realm, because the strongest expert in the Gan Yue Kingdom was only at the Mortal Transformation Realm.

According to this body's memories, cultivation was divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment Realm, Golden Core Realm, and Mortal Transformation Realm. Each realm had nine layers. The Gan Yue Kingdom's strongest expert was Great General of the Nation Nan Meng, at the Mortal Transformation First Layer. He had once cleaved a hundred-meter mountain in two with a single slash. His legend was spread throughout the kingdom and even intimidated the neighboring kingdoms.

It was said that empires existed above kingdoms. Although their structures were similar, their strength was worlds apart. Qin Jun had only heard a few legends about empires and knew little of the details.

None of that was the most important thing!

What mattered was that Daji was actually stronger than Great General of the Nation Nan Meng!

He was really going to be invincible!

Qin Jun thought excitedly, then asked uneasily, "System, is the Void Transformation Realm above the Mortal Transformation Realm?"

"Yes! Above the Mortal Transformation Realm is the Void Transformation Realm!"

The system's reply left Qin Jun fully satisfied, and the way he looked at Daji became even more fervent.

Just then, Daji suddenly swept her sleeve. The fifteen Imperial Guard soldiers felt an irresistible mysterious force rushing toward them. The next instant, they were all sent flying, while the prison cage holding Qin Jun exploded. Iron bars spun as they shot off in every direction.

He was free!

Qin Jun took a deep breath and forced himself to stand despite his excitement.

He had thought his new life would be miserable right after transmigrating, but he had unexpectedly activated the Mythological System and escaped his predicament just like that.

Life's greatest joys and sorrows were nothing more than this.

"My lord, are you all right?"

Daji appeared before Qin Jun like a phantom. A faint fragrance drifted into his nose, stirring his thoughts.

Clang!

Daji snapped the chains binding Qin Jun's hands, then twisted apart the shackles around his ankles.

"I'm fine," Qin Jun said, trying hard to calm himself.

In Investiture of the Gods, Daji had originally been a kind-hearted and incomparably beautiful woman. However, she was killed by a Nine-tailed Fox on her way into the palace, after which the demon possessed her body and went on to commit a series of horrifying atrocities.

The Daji before him was clearly not the original Daji, because her race was a Nine-tailed Fox.

In the original work, Daji had appeared only rarely. Later generations remembered her merely as a Disaster for the country and people, cruel and ruthless. Few had paid attention to her strength.

He had never expected her to possess the strength of the Void Transformation Fifth Layer. It was hard to imagine how terrifying those great powers from mythology must have been.

Sun Wukong could travel a hundred and eight thousand li with a single somersault. Just thinking about that speed made Qin Jun click his tongue in amazement.

The Gan Yue Kingdom's diameter was not even a hundred and eight thousand li.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

The Captain of the Imperial Guards wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, drew his saber, and charged at Daji. He was incredibly fast. An ordinary person would not even have time to react, and Qin Jun himself would have been unable to resist.

Daji pressed down with her delicate hand, and the Captain of the Imperial Guards immediately crashed to the ground before her.

Bang!

Daji stepped on the Captain of the Imperial Guards' back with her right foot. The ground cracked like a spiderweb beneath them, while he spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes lost focus, and his breath grew weak.

"Damn! That's brutal!"

Qin Jun's eyelids twitched. Daji looked delicate and frail, yet her strength was so violent.

Perhaps among experts of the same realm, Daji's strength could indeed be considered inferior. But against insects in the Qi Refining Realm, her power was absolutely terrifying!

"Move aside!"

Qin Jun stared at the Captain of the Imperial Guards. Daji obediently stepped aside.

Qin Jun walked over, crouched before the Captain of the Imperial Guards, and smiled harmlessly. "What did you say just now? Who was mentally unstable?"

"You! Waste Material... princ..."

The Captain of the Imperial Guards' eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Qin Jun with pure hatred. He had lost to Daji, and now Qin Jun was mocking him. He felt as though his dignity had been trampled beneath their feet.

Slap!

Qin Jun slapped him across the face. Damn it, he was on the verge of death and still dared to mock him!

That slap scattered the Captain of the Imperial Guards' final breath. He died on the spot.

Ding! Killed a Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer soldier! Obtained 50 Experience Points!

Ding! Congratulations, host! Personal Profile Template activated!

What the hell?

Experience Points? Personal Profile Template?

Qin Jun froze. At the same time, a wave of heat surged from within his body.

Then, a screen appeared before him:

Host: Qin Jun!

Race: Human!

Level: Qi Refining Second Layer (150/200 Experience Points)!

Bloodline: None!

Divine Ability: None!

Cultivation Art: Qi Refining Art (Mortal Grade Middle Rank).

Summoned Gods and Demons: Daji!

Holy shit!

Why did this feel like he was playing an online game?

Qin Jun widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. The system's voice sounded in his mind at just the right moment. "Since the host comes from twenty-first-century Earth, the system has adopted a data-based format resembling Earth games to help the host adapt!"

"What exactly is the Mythological System's purpose?" Qin Jun asked uneasily.

There was no such thing as a free lunch!

Having struggled in the workplace for years, Qin Jun understood this deeply. The Mythological System could not possibly nurture him for no reason.

"The host is too weak and is currently unqualified to learn the system's ultimate objective!"

That one sentence left Qin Jun speechless. After struggling with himself for a while, he could only cast aside the worries in his heart.

Life is like that thing—since you can't resist it, you might as well enjoy it!

"Cripple everyone else so they can no longer fight, then let me kill them myself!"

Qin Jun stood and gave the order. Though it was his first time killing someone and he felt somewhat uncomfortable, he could not be softhearted in this world where the strong devoured the weak.

These Imperial Guard soldiers had been sent by Fifth Prince Qin Yu. The entire Imperial Guard army was now in Qin Yu's hands, making them the enemy. Moreover, these soldiers had bullied Qin Jun plenty along the way, so naturally he would not let them go.

Daji was extremely efficient. In less than three seconds, the remaining Imperial Guard soldiers were lying on the ground like dead dogs, every bone in their bodies shattered and unable to move.

Qin Jun suppressed the revulsion in his heart, drew the Captain of the Imperial Guards' saber, and personally ended their lives.

Ding! Killed a Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer soldier! Obtained 40 Experience Points!

Ding! Killed a Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer soldier! Obtained 35 Experience Points!

Ding! Congratulations, host! Advanced to the Qi Refining Third Layer!

The system notifications rang out one after another. The fourteen Imperial Guard soldiers directly advanced him to the Qi Refining Fourth Layer. The surging True Qi within his body gave him the urge to let out a long roar!

Awesome!

It was like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate!

Qin Jun was ecstatic. At this moment, he felt like he could punch through a tree as thick as a thigh!

He had leveled up twice in a row!

At this rate, he was going to become Superman!
