A Brief Explanation Regarding Recent Updates

Emerging from his grandfather's room, Qin Shaofeng felt a heavy weight in his heart.

There were only three days left, and this was completely different from his plan.

According to Qin Shaofeng's original plan, one month would have been enough for him to upgrade to the Houtian Martial Artist realm, even surpassing all the strength he had previously possessed.

At that point, the City Lord competition would have been no problem for him.

But plans never keep up with changes!

Although he had over three hundred low-level demonic beasts from the Beast Arena, and after Qin Shaofeng's calculations, he had gained a large amount of experience by using the method of killing monsters above his level.

Ultimately, this experience only allowed Qin Shaofeng's level to increase to the eighth layer of Body Tempering, Level 8.

Just the eighth layer of Body Tempering was still not enough to impress. Qin Shaofeng knew that Zhang Lingtian from the Zhang family, who was Zhang Lingyun's older brother, had already reached the Third Layer of the Houtian Realm, and seemed to be at the peak of that realm.

In this situation, he was no match for the opponent.

"No, I can't go on like this, otherwise..."

A glint flashed in his eyes, and Qin Shaofeng finally made a decision.

It seemed he had no other choice!

Without any hesitation, once he made up his mind, Qin Shaofeng turned and walked towards a certain place in the Qin Manor, heading directly for the Qin Manor's secret dungeon.

Qin Shaofeng had learned from his grandfather long ago that the people who had attacked him that day, aside from Zhang Lingtian (who, due to the Zhang family's circumstances and the impending start of the competition, had not attacked him), the other two had already been captured and were being held in the Qin Manor's dungeon, awaiting his judgment.

Qin Shaofeng still remembered that the two people who had attacked him that day were far stronger than him, seemingly both at the Houtian Ninth Layer, or even Tenth Layer realm experts.

There weren't many such experts in Lanjiang City; they were considered figures of some standing.

Those two were not from the Zhang family. To avoid drawing attention and to ensure success, the Zhang family had paid a hefty sum to hire two notorious villains.

Now, Qin Shaofeng seeking them out meant he had already made up his mind.

Originally, Qin Shaofeng did not want to take this step, but now he had no choice but to do so.

In the dim dungeon, two prisoners in one of the cells, who had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, were held captive.

When Qin Shaofeng saw the state of the two, he was startled.

Because their appearance was completely different from the imposing figures of the Houtian Ninth and Tenth Layer experts he remembered.

Qin Shaofeng did not know that after Old Master Qin learned that his grandson's Dantian had been crippled by these two, in his rage, he had thoroughly instructed his subordinates to "entertain" the two, making them confess the entire process of plotting against Qin Shaofeng.

Character: Wu Ada Level: Mid Houtian Tenth Layer ...

Character: Wu E'er Level: Late Houtian Ninth Layer ...

Under the Fiery Golden Eyes, all the information about the two who had harmed him back then appeared before Qin Shaofeng's eyes.

As if sensing someone's arrival, the two lying on the ground spoke.

"Let... please let... let us go!"

"Spare... spare our lives!"

Extremely weak voices came from Ada and E'er, who were trembling and struggling on the ground, but Qin Shaofeng remained unmoved.

"Hmph, if you knew this day would come, why did you do it in the first place!"

Qin Shaofeng said coldly, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes. Then, steeling his heart, he no longer hesitated, directly grabbed a large saber from the side, and swung it towards Ada and E'er.

This was Qin Shaofeng's first time killing someone!

Whether in his past life or this one, this was the first time!

Even though he knew these two were wicked villains who had committed all sorts of evil deeds, killing them was like carrying out justice on behalf of heaven.

But after actually killing them, Qin Shaofeng still felt a strong sense of discomfort.

Amidst this discomfort, Qin Shaofeng heard several system prompts.

"System Notification: Congratulations Player Qin Shaofeng, your experience has reached the upgrade requirement. Player Qin Shaofeng's level has been raised to Houtian First Layer!"

"System Notification: Congratulations Player Qin Shaofeng, your level has been raised to the Houtian Realm. The system rewards you with one ordinary lottery opportunity. The lottery system is now open!"
