Chapter 2: Two consecutive levels of promotion

"You ants dare to imprison my lord. Even going to hell would be too light a punishment for you."

Daji smiled at the guards, her smile sending shivers down their spines despite its sweetness.

Qin Jun couldn't take his eyes off Daji. She was so beautiful, far beyond any female celebrity he had seen on TV in his previous life, as if she had stepped out of a painting.

"Bold! Who are you to dare to obstruct the kingdom's guards!" the captain of the guards said in a deep voice. Although they were all stunned by Daji's beauty, they were more on guard.

The aura emanating from Daji made their hearts race, even in the face of the kingdom's grand general, they had never felt such a sensation.

The Fifth Layer of the Illusionary Realm!

Qin Jun had never heard of the Illusionary Realm, as the strongest in the Qianyue Kingdom was only at the Mortal Transformation Realm.

In the memory of this body, cultivation was divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Core, and Mortal Transformation, each realm consisting of nine layers. The strongest in the Qianyue Kingdom was General Nan Meng, at the first layer of the Mortal Transformation Realm, who was said to have once cut a hundred-meter-high mountain with a single slash, his legend spreading throughout the kingdom and even intimidating the surrounding kingdoms.

It was said that there was an imperial dynasty above the kingdom, with a similar structure but vastly different in strength. Qin Jun had only heard some legends about the imperial dynasty and was not very clear on the specifics.

But all of this was not the most important thing!

The most important thing was that Daji was even stronger than General Nan Meng!

Truly invincible!

Qin Jun thought excitedly, but at the same time, he couldn't help but worry, "System, is the Illusionary Realm above the Mortal Transformation Realm?"

"Yes! The Illusionary Realm is above the Mortal Transformation Realm!" The system's answer satisfied Qin Jun, and his gaze towards Daji became even more intense.

Just then, Daji suddenly waved her sleeve, and the fifteen guards felt an unstoppable mysterious force coming at them. In the next moment, they were all sent flying, and the prison where Qin Jun was held exploded, with iron bars shooting in different directions.

Free at last!

Qin Jun took a deep breath and stood up, trying to contain his excitement.

When he first crossed over, he thought his new life would be miserable, but he didn't expect to break free directly by activating the mythological system.

The ups and downs of life were just like this.

"My lord, are you okay?" Daji came to Qin Jun's side like a phantom, and a hint of fragrance entered his nose, making his heart race.

Clang!

Daji directly broke the chains that bound Qin Jun, and then twisted and broke the ankle chains.

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

In the Investiture of the Gods, Daji was originally a kind and extremely beautiful woman, but she was killed by a nine-tailed fox spirit on her way to the palace and was possessed by it. Later, she committed a series of heinous acts.

The Daji in front of him was obviously not the original Daji, as her race was a nine-tailed fox spirit.

In the original work, Daji's performance was minimal, and in later generations, she was only remembered for bringing calamity to the country and being cruel. Her strength was not paid attention to.

He didn't expect her to have the strength of the Fifth Layer of the Illusionary Realm. It was hard to imagine how terrifying the great powers in mythology were.

Sun Wukong could travel eighty thousand miles in a single somersault, a speed that made Qin Jun's jaw drop.

The Qianyue Kingdom's diameter was not even close to eighty thousand miles.

"I'll fight you!" the captain of the guards wiped the blood from his mouth and charged at Daji with his sword. His speed was fast, and for an ordinary person, there was no time to react, let alone Qin Jun.

Daji pressed down with her delicate hand, and the captain of the guards fell directly in front of her.

Bang!

Daji's right foot stepped on the captain's back, and the ground cracked like a spider web, while the captain continued to spew blood, his eyes unfocused, and his breath weak.

"Damn! So fierce!" Qin Jun's eyelids twitched. Daji looked delicate, but her strength was unexpectedly fierce.

Perhaps among the same realm, Daji's strength was indeed considered lower, but in the face of the ants at the Qi Refining Realm, her strength was definitely terrifying!

"Get out of the way!" Qin Jun stared at the captain of the guards and said, and Daji obediently stepped aside.

Approaching the captain of the guards, Qin Jun squatted down and smiled innocently, "What did you just say? Who's the one with a twisted mind?"

"You! Useless... Emperor..." The captain of the guards, with bloodshot eyes, looked at Qin Jun with resentment. After all, he had lost to Daji, and now being mocked by Qin Jun, he felt his dignity being trampled.

Smack!

Qin Jun slapped him directly in the face. Even at death's door, he dared to mock him!

With this slap, the captain's last breath was dispersed, and he died on the spot.

"Ding! Killed a Qi Refining Realm Fifth Layer soldier! Obtained 50 experience points!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for activating the personal data template!"

What the heck?

Experience points? Personal data template?

Qin Jun was stunned, and at the same time, a surge of heat rushed out from inside him.

Then, a light screen appeared in front of him:

"Host: Qin Jun!"

"Race: Human!"

"Level: Qi Refining Realm Second Layer (150/200 experience points)!"

"Bloodline: None!"

"Divine Ability: None!"

"Cultivation Technique: Qi Refining Art (Ordinary Middle Grade)."

"Summoning Divine Demon: Daji!"

Damn!

Why does it feel like playing an online game?

Qin Jun widened his eyes, his face filled with incredulity, and the system's voice timely sounded in his mind, "Because the host comes from the 21st century Earth, in order to help the host adapt, the system has adopted the data format of Earth games!"

"What is the purpose of the mythological system?" Qin Jun asked uneasily.

There's no such thing as a free lunch!

Having climbed the corporate ladder for many years, Qin Jun knew this very well. The mythological system couldn't possibly cultivate him for no reason.

"The host is too weak and temporarily not qualified to know the ultimate goal of the system!"

This sentence left Qin Jun speechless, and after a moment of hesitation, he had to put aside his worries.

Life is like that thing, since you can't resist, just enjoy it!

"Render the others completely powerless, and then let me personally kill them!"

Qin Jun ordered, although it was his first time killing someone, he felt uncomfortable, but in this dog-eat-dog world, he couldn't afford to be soft-hearted.

These guards were sent by the Fifth Prince, Qin Yu, and now the entire guard force was under his control, essentially making them enemies. On top of that, these guards had oppressed him along the way, so Qin Jun naturally wouldn't let them off the hook.

Daji's efficiency was remarkable. In less than three seconds, the remaining guards were all lying on the ground like dead dogs, their bodies broken and unable to move.

Qin Jun endured his disgust and pulled out the captain's long sword, personally ending their lives.

"Ding! Killed a fifth-level Qi Refining Realm soldier! Obtained 40 experience points!"

"Ding! Killed a fifth-level Qi Refining Realm soldier! Obtained 35 experience points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for advancing to the third level of the Qi Refining Realm!"

...

The system prompts sounded one after another, and the fourteen guards directly promoted him to the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm. The surging true energy in his body made him feel the urge to let out a long roar!

Awesome!

A carp leaping over the dragon gate!

Qin Jun was extremely excited. At this moment, he felt like he could break a tree as thick as a thigh with a single punch!

Two levels up in a row!

At this rate, I'm going to become a superhuman!
