It all went back to Lanjiang City.
Though Lanjiang City wasn't one of the major cities in Lianyang Kingdom, it still had a population of over a million.
That wasn't a problem in itself. Lanjiang City might have a large population, but under Lianyang Kingdom's administration, no major issues had ever arisen.
But a month ago, trouble came to Lanjiang City.
The reason was that the City Lord guarding Lanjiang City was about to leave.
Once he did, the new City Lord of Lanjiang City would be chosen from among its three great families.
The three great families of Lanjiang City were the Qin Family, the Zhang Family, and the Wang Family.
The method of selection was simple: they would compete in a martial arts contest. The winning family would gain the position of City Lord of Lanjiang City and enjoy the official rank of a city lord under Lianyang Kingdom.
There was one unusual detail: the contest wouldn't be decided by Lanjiang City's strongest fighters. Instead, the strongest among the younger generation would be chosen.
That changed everything, because everyone in Lanjiang City knew that Qin Shaofeng was unquestionably the most outstanding youngster among the three great families.
Since the contest between the younger generation would determine the City Lord, the position was all but guaranteed to go to the Qin Family.
But how could the other two families, the Wang Family and the Zhang Family, just stand by and watch the position of City Lord of Lanjiang City fall into the Qin Family's hands?
As a result, Qin Shaofeng was ambushed by the Zhang Family and ultimately died outside Lanjiang City, in Black Horn Mountain Forest.
However, the Zhang Family had never imagined that Qin Shaofeng would come back to life in such a unique way.
Just as Qin Shaofeng was lamenting his fate and all its twists and turns, the system's prompt rang out again.
"System notification: Congratulations, player Qin Shaofeng, on qualifying to play! The system has specially awarded you one Gift package. Please claim it yourself!"
A Gift package?
Looking at the attribute screen before him, Qin Shaofeng's heart began pounding wildly. That was right—he'd obtained a system. With the system, even without a dantian, he should be fine, shouldn't he?
At the sound of the notification, a glint flashed in Qin Shaofeng's eyes. He hurriedly began checking the attribute screen.
Sure enough, there was a notification in the system message box saying that he'd obtained a Gift package.
System Gift package: A special reward given to the player by the system. When opened, it grants a special reward based on the player's luck.
(Special note: This is a special Gift package. After opening, there is a chance of obtaining an item of any level—even a God-grade cultivation technique or God-grade equipment!)
God-grade cultivation technique?
God-grade equipment?
Qin Shaofeng's eyes went wide. Without the slightest hesitation, he eagerly opened the special Gift package.
"Congratulations, player Qin Shaofeng, on obtaining one Saint-grade cultivation technique, Yi Jin Jing!"
"Congratulations, player Qin Shaofeng, on obtaining the God-grade skill Fiery Golden Eyes!"
"Congratulations, player Qin Shaofeng, on obtaining one hundred system Points!"
Three mechanical system notifications rang out in succession inside Qin Shaofeng's mind, and he was instantly thrilled.
"Yi Jin Jing?"
"Isn't that the cultivation technique created by Old Ancestor Bodhidharma?"
"And it's a Saint-grade cultivation technique? This..."
Although he didn't know just how powerful this so-called Saint-grade cultivation technique was, just hearing the name of its grade told Qin Shaofeng it had to be extraordinary.
And that was without even mentioning Fiery Golden Eyes!
Even without the system telling him, Qin Shaofeng knew what grade of skill Fiery Golden Eyes was!
It was Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong's signature ability!
How could a skill possessed by the Great Sage not be awesome?
