Qin Dynasty: Starting with a free Fire Kirin Sword

Overnight,

Lin Qi stabilized his new realm—Grandmaster Level 1.

Immediately afterwards, he silently prayed in his heart: "Today's check-in has begun."

The words had barely left his lips when

A beautiful and melodious sound then rang out.

"Ding!"

"Login complete today! Reward: Statue skill level boost **!"

"Login complete today! Reward: Asuka Wataru's level increased by **!"

It was still double the pleasure, still some skill level upgrades, but no unexpected rewards.

Lin Qi nodded in satisfaction.

The current states are shown below:

[Cultivation Level: Beginner Grandmaster]

[**: Bronze Statue Skill Lv.4, Flying Bird Crossing Lv.4]

The "Flying Bird Crossing" movement skill can greatly increase its speed.

It can be very effective whether tracking a target or escaping.

As for the bronze statue's merit, there's no need to elaborate!

Its enhanced defense now allows it to ignore attacks from anyone whose strength does not exceed that of an innate master!

Even if a top-tier expert were to slash him with a sword, it would only cause minor cuts to the skin, insufficient to constitute slight injury.

"I've been burying myself in my studies these past few days, and my mental state has been very tense."

"Now that I've broken through to the early stage of Grandmaster, it's time to relax a bit."

"I will not practice martial arts today and will take a good rest."

Lin Qi did not continue his cultivation and chose to give himself a day of rest.

A proper balance between work and leisure time is essential for a more comfortable physical and mental state!

······

The residence of Zhao Gao in Xianyang City.

The most secluded corner.

A person wearing a black mask knelt on the ground, almost holding their breath.

Standing directly opposite was Zhao Gao, the leader of the "Net" organization.

The masked man lowered his head and slowly said, "Sir, this mission has failed!"

"Lin Qi has successfully reached the Grandmaster stage; while the mission personnel we sent out have already perished."

"Did the mission fail?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold glint.

"What a pity!"

He slowly shook his head, but his face showed little emotion.

This destructive act was originally an experiment.

If successful, it would indeed be a joyous occasion.

This would reduce the number of top-tier forces in the Black Ice Palace in the future.

Even if you fail, there's no need to be overly upset.

At most, we'll lose one innate level two member.

And the one thing their "network" has the least shortage of is these members!

"Let's leave it at that and not pursue it any further."

"So what if Lin Qi advances? He's only at the early stage of Grandmaster."

"Before he was promoted to Grandmaster, his influence on our 'Net' was extremely limited."

"To reach that level, it would take Lin Qi at least five years."

"During this five-year gap, there were countless possibilities and numerous opportunities to eliminate him!"

When Zhao Gao's words reached his subordinates' ears, his voice was cold and resolute.

"Understood, Your subordinate obeys!"

The person in the black mask bowed and agreed, then withdrew.

In the blink of an eye, another day has passed.

As dawn broke, Lin Qi, who had been meditating with his eyes closed on the bed for a long time, finally opened his eyes slowly, ending his night of cultivation.

The day before, he had given himself a complete rest without taking a single moment's break.

As night fell, Fang sat cross-legged in meditation and began his nighttime training.

At that moment, he had successfully advanced from Grandmaster Level 1 to Grandmaster Level 2, and his strength had once again leaped forward.

"After properly planning work and rest, the effects of cultivation are indeed better!"

Looking at his progress, Lin Qi's face showed a look of pleasure.

"Check-in complete!"

With a fleeting thought in my mind, I began today's check-in.

"Boom!"

"Daily check-in successfully completed. Reward: Bone Toughness +1!"

Increases bone stiffness by +1!

Lin Qi's eyes widened suddenly, his heart pounding with excitement.

He also imagined that today might be the day to upgrade the bronze statue or the flying bird.

Unexpectedly, we received some wonderful news.

Root Bone +1!

After gaining +1 to his Root Bone, Lin Qi's Root Bone increased from 7 to 8, officially joining the ranks of masters and becoming an unparalleled genius!

Previously, with only 7 points of innate talent, he could at most be considered a potential genius.

However, having 8 points in physical talent puts you in the category of top-tier geniuses!

Although it may seem like only a 1-point difference, in the process of cultivation, this difference becomes worlds apart.

The speed of cultivation will increase several times.

"View properties!"

Unable to contain his curiosity and excitement, Lin Qi immediately opened his attribute interface and began to check it.

·······

[Owner: Lin Qi]

【Age: 18】

[Charm: 50]

[Innate Talent Value: 8 (Top-Tier Talent)]

[Cultivation Level: Grandmaster Level 2]

[Mastered martial arts skills: Bronze Man Divine Skill Lv4, Flying Eagle Across the Sea Lv4]

[Item Possessed: Crimson Flame Sword]

·······

Looking at my current attribute panel, I finally feel a little more confident.

With his Grandmaster Level 2 cultivation, he mastered the ultimate skills of the Bronze Man Divine Skill Level 4 and Flying Eagle Crossing the Sea Level 4.

In addition, the scorching pressure of the Crimson Flame Sword and the power of the fire unicorn scales inlaid on the sword's body further amplify its power.

Even when facing grandmasters at their peak, Lin Qi was able to handle them with ease.

Even if the situation is unfavorable, they can still escape unscathed.

"The five-day deadline has passed, and today we must head to the Black Ice Platform headquarters."

"The information I've gathered about this Black Ice Platform from my past memories is truly fascinating!"

Lin Qi learned some details about the Qin State's Black Ice Platform based on his memory.

Black ice platform!

It was established a few years ago.

The establishment of this institution was primarily to ensure the safety of the master of the dragon vein.

In addition, it was also to restrain the Luo Wang (a powerful organization), gather intelligence on other countries, and fight against the six kingdoms.

The Black Ice Guard has sixteen lieutenants!

Lieutenants 3 to 16 are distributed throughout all regions of the country.

The Second Lieutenant commanded the Third through Sixteenth Lieutenants and was responsible for the security of the capital, Xianyang.

The First Lieutenant has another identity—the Dark Guard.

That's right, it's the shadow army led by Zhang Han in the animated series!

They were the imperial guards surrounding the First Emperor, dedicated to protecting this supreme emperor and obeying only his orders.

However, it is said that

In addition to these sixteen lieutenants, there is also a mysterious seventeenth lieutenant in the Black Ice Depot.

However, where exactly is this Seventeenth Lieutenant, who is he, and what are his duties?

Completely unknown!

Of course, these rumors may be baseless, or there may not even be a so-called Seventeenth Lieutenant of the Black Ice Guard.

The current leader of the Black Ice Guard is Yao Jia, who also serves as one of the nine high-ranking officials in the Qin state.

Lin Qi was dispatched by this person.

"The Black Ice Guard, among these sixteen lieutenants, the leader is the Dark Night Guard, and there's also the legendary seventeenth lieutenant..."

"And also, the current head of the Black Ice Control Agency, Yao Jia..."

Recalling this incident, Lin Qi's eyes deepened slightly.

With Yao Jia's identity revealed, where is the other legendary figure?

What about the true leader of the Black Ice Guard, Dunruo?

"Weak? I remember now!"

Suddenly, a memory related to weakness flooded Lin Qi's mind.

Dunruo was once the chief bodyguard of Qin Shi Huang during the pre-Qin period.

Several years ago, during an assassination attempt by Gan Luo, he sacrificed his life to protect Qin Shi Huang.

As a result, Gan Luo also perished in that conflict; both of them died there!

Following this, Qin Shi Huang established the Black Ice Platform.

······*

"Dunruo and the Black Ice Platform; Ganluo and the Heavenly Soul?"

"This is truly a complex plot..."

Lin Qi, who was quite familiar with the world of anime, knew very well that the assassin named Gan Luo had now become a renowned genius among Yin-Yang sorcerers—the Heavenly Destiny Star Soul!

that time.

The Yin-Yang School instructed Gan Luo to act as an assassin, pretending to have failed to assassinate the Ancestral Dragon and died. Gan Luo then took the opportunity to disappear, changed his identity and concealed his appearance, joined the core circle of the Yin-Yang School, and adopted the alias "Xinghun"!

"So, Dunruo might not actually be dead?"

"It seems there's more to Gan Luo's betrayal and defection to the Yin-Yang School than meets the eye!"

If this is true, then the legendary Seventeenth Lieutenant of the Black Ice Depot may not be fictional.

"These ideas are impossible to verify now, so it's best to focus on cultivating and strengthening yourself."

Lin Qi shook his head, dismissing the jumbled thoughts in his mind.

Later,

Lin Qi got up and tidied up the bedroom before going into the bathroom.

After bathing and changing clothes.

Lin Qi was dressed in a black ice-colored outfit with a distinctive dark purple hue.

They then went out and headed straight to the main building of the Black Ice Platform.

The Black Ice Platform is located in a relatively quiet corner of the core area of ​​Xianyang City.

Upon arrival, the main gate was already open.

Lin Qi stood in front of the door, tidied himself up a bit, and then stepped inside.

However, just as they crossed the threshold of the Black Ice Platform, a pleasant surprise occurred.

"Ding! Unique region detected: Black Ice Platform Central Area!"

"Start check-in?"

Unique regional characteristics?

The central hub of the Black Ice Platform?

Lin Qi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened in an instant, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

In an instant, he made a decisive decision, silently reciting in his mind:

"Check-in complete!"

Immediately following the words, a notification sounded indicating that the check-in was complete.

"Ding!"

"Successfully checked in at the Black Ice Platform Central Hub. Reward: Holy Spirit Sword Technique!"

Ah!

"Holy Spirit Sword Technique?"

Lin Qi gasped, utterly incredulous.

I was already overjoyed to have stumbled upon this special sign-in.

After all, every sign-in is a stepping stone towards becoming a stronger person.

Lin Qi didn't ask for much in return; he only hoped for a slight improvement in the bronze warrior's combat strength or flying ability.

Unexpectedly,

What I obtained was the legendary sword technique of the wind—the Holy Spirit Sword Art!

From 'Sword One' to 'Sword Twenty-Three'.

In particular, the ultimate move 'Sword Twenty-Three' is hailed as 'exquisite swordsmanship' and 'swordsmanship from purgatory'!

After Sword Twenty-Three, it contains endless variations and potential, constantly amplifying its power.

The heavens and earth shattered—Sword Twenty-Three!

Enmity and Desire Abound—Sword Twenty-Three!

Reincarnation and Nirvana - Sword Twenty-Three

Sweeping away the six realms, selfless and ruthless, transcending the mundane.

Decisive and ruthless, reaching the pinnacle of skill!

If he hadn't been standing in front of the Black Ice Platform, Lin Qi would probably have already been unable to restrain himself and had taken out the Fenglin Sword to begin studying it madly.

"This surprise is wonderful!"

Lin Qi took a deep breath, trying his best to calm the turmoil in his heart.

After standing there for a moment, he slowly stepped into the courtyard and went deep into the Black Ice Platform.

Internally, the organization's work is in full swing.

Archives and documents were frequently exchanged, and conversations were constant.

"Greetings, Lord Lin!"

"Greetings, Commander Lin!"

Lin Qi was greeted with simple salutes by the crowd upon his appearance.

He smiled and returned the greeting before continuing on to his office.

As a member of the Black Ice Guard, Lin Qi held a prestigious position.

The main building of the Black Ice Tower houses one chief commander and three deputy commanders.

The three deputy commanders were named according to their strength: Central Commander, Right Commander, and Left Commander, each with their own affiliation.

Below that are the various levels of petty leaders.

The original owner of this body, Lin Qitian, was exceptionally intelligent.

At only eighteen years old, he reached the limit of innate potential, just one step away from becoming a grandmaster.

He ranks first among many commanders of the same rank.
