Advance to the Glimmering Realm!

Zhang Qing!

Martial Arts; Unranked!

Blood Volume; 440/522!

Constitution; 8!

Intelligence; 1!

Cultivation Technique; Kaiyuan Art (Low-grade Glimmer, Proficient!)

Attribute Points; 2!

First, he had made a hefty profit in Blood Volume.

From a two-digit nobody, he had become a bloated big shot with 500 Blood Volume.

Even if that Long-armed Ghoul came back to life, it might not be able to hammer Zhang Qing to death in one or two blows.

There was no other reason.

He was just tanky.

At the same time.

He had two Attribute Points.

0.5 from eating, 1.5 from the Long-armed Ghoul.

It was almost universally acknowledged that these two Attribute Points had to be invested in Constitution.

That way.

With 10 Constitution, Zhang Qing would join the ranks of Glimmer Realm Warriors.

But he had to wait.

He could not advance in front of Guan Yutian and the others.

It would not be appropriate.

Breaking through in battle could be understood.

Breaking through after returning home could also be understood.

But breaking through after receiving treatment? That could not be explained.

Treatment itself was a method of stimulating one's potential.

Once your potential had been activated and your body treated, how could you still have the strength to break through?

It was abnormal!

And with Razor, abnormal meant death.

"All right, don't forget to gather tomorrow," Guan Yutian said.

"Yes, Captain. I'll head back first!" Zhang Qing said.

Then he headed toward Chuan Prefecture.

As for the Long-armed Ghoul, Razor would handle the aftermath and distribute the rewards.

It had nothing to do with him anymore.

Soon.

Following the route in his memories.

Zhang Qing returned to Chuan Prefecture.

He entered through the side gate and immediately saw Chuan Fa.

"Greetings, Leader. I'm back!" Zhang Qing said with cupped fists.

When Chuan Fa saw Zhang Qing return early, covered in blood, surprise appeared on his face.

"You ran into a Specter?"

"I did."

"Killed it?"

"The captain killed it. I supported him from the side."

"Not bad. You actually came back alive. Going again tomorrow?"

"I am!"

"Good!"

Chuan Fa nodded.

Then, after thinking for a moment, he took something from his sleeve and tossed it to Zhang Qing.

"Here. Nourish yourself properly. You look like you got hurt!"

Zhang Qing caught it and took a look.

It was a small Blood Ginseng Slice, thin as a cicada's wing.

"This thing costs one Silver Coin per slice. Get some proper rest. Don't take part in patrols for now. I'll make the arrangements."

"Thank you, Chuan Leader!"

With delight on his face, Zhang Qing hurried away.

Once he passed the corner.

His expression returned to normal.

He tossed the Blood Ginseng Slice into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

Heh, it didn't even increase my Attribute Points by half a point. Fake goods!

Zhang Qing complained.

Afterward.

He returned to his room and shut the door.

He let out a long breath of Turbid Qi.

These past two days had gone smoothly so far.

It had practically been plain sailing.

His gains so far were already extremely generous.

For now, this route is working.

Following Razor will get me both Blood Volume and Attribute Points.

But Guan Yutian is no good. When I pretended to faint today, he actually wanted to kill me just to steal the credit.

I need to find an opportunity to turn him into my blood bag.

But Razor's internal hierarchy is strict. If a captain dies, the team members bear unavoidable responsibility and may even be implicated together. I don't know whether the Chuan Family would protect me!

Chuan Fa is just a minor leader. He doesn't have much say.

Even if I advance to the Glimmering Realm, the Chuan Family might not go to Razor to protect me—unless... I display extraordinary martial talent.

But... I was originally just an ordinary guard. If I suddenly display martial talent, will that break my persona?

Zhang Qing had a bit of a headache.

The Dark Realm was not easy to survive in.

It was fine to visit and take in the sights, but truly integrating into it and gaining status and resources was very difficult.

He would have to make full use of his experience from his previous life.

Thinking it over, it probably won't break my persona. After all, when I chatted with Li Hu before, I learned that I had never come into contact with martial arts.

Plus, after my wife turned into a Specter, it makes sense for me to awaken extraordinary martial talent after being deeply shaken by it.

That leaves me short of ten Silver Coins and one Attribute Point!

First, I'll make a name for myself in the Chuan Family and earn their favor. Then I'll have more confidence when acting on Razor's side.

That's the plan for now!

After summing everything up, Zhang Qing sat cross-legged on the bed.

Time to add points!

He added his remaining two Attribute Points to Constitution.

And so.

10 Constitution!

Congratulations, you have met the requirements to break through. Would you like to break through?

"Break through!"

Breakthrough successful. You have successfully advanced to the first level of the Glimmering Realm!

Reward obtained: Constitution +1!

The next second.

An unprecedented feeling surged up from the depths of his heart.

It was power!

After advancing to the Glimmering Realm, he was a true martial artist.

11 Constitution.

His strength, agility, endurance, and recovery had all improved enormously.

It was something Zhang Qing had never experienced before.

And the core Cultivation Technique, the Kaiyuan Art.

After he reached the Glimmering Realm, it began to display the abilities it was meant to possess.

"Endurance boost!"

Zhang Qing's heart stirred.

He discovered that after circulating the Kaiyuan Art, his physical strength recovered much faster at once.

"If I remember correctly, in my previous life, the owner of the Kaiyuan Art had attack power far greater than Starflash Realm experts using ordinary Cultivation Techniques once he reached the Starflash Realm!"

"It seems my guess was wrong. The Kaiyuan Art doesn't become stronger only at the Starflash Realm. The aspect it boosts differs in every realm."

"After Starflash, it boosts strength, and strength represents attack power!"

"Right now, in the Glimmering Realm, it boosts endurance. Very good. Long-lasting stamina is the foundation for surviving in battle!"

After feeling the power within his body.

Zhang Qing lay directly on the bed.

Then he logged out!

After taking off his helmet.

Zhang Qing got up from the bed in his bedroom at home.

He clenched his fist.

His strength had actually changed by a tiny amount.

"The transfer of strength is not obvious, almost negligible."

"It seems the experience from my previous life was correct. Only upon reaching the Sunrise Realm will the transfer of strength descend upon this world."

"None of the rules have changed just because I logged in ahead of time."

"That means I truly have one more year of growth time than everyone else!"

Zhang Qing got out of bed.

He took care of his hygiene, showered, and then ate dinner.

Only eating two meals today was not a big deal.

It was only two years. His young body could handle it.

Once the transfer of strength arrived, nothing would be a problem. Even cancer could be cured on the spot!

After eating, he immediately logged back in.

He did need to sleep.

But he could not log out to sleep.

Resting directly in the Dark Realm was the same, and it would also let him handle any unexpected emergencies.

He had to maintain this persona.

As for cultivating his Cultivation Technique at night and using proficiency to make up for Attribute Points?

Be kind to yourself!

With 1 Intelligence, gaining three proficiency points in one night would already be impressive.

And for the Kaiyuan Art to advance from Proficient to Mastery.

It required 1,000 proficiency points.

You could improve it after staying up for more than three hundred nights.

Go ahead and stay up, then!

He might as well sleep and keep working tomorrow!
