Twenty-four Silver Needles were inserted into Qin Shaofeng three times, front and back, for a total of seventy-two needles.
Seventy-two needles, seventy-two acupoints.
In the end, the seventy-two acupoints were stimulated, bringing out the potential in Qin Shaofeng's body and finally allowing him to truly step into the first level of the God-Demon Compendium.
