Under Qin Feng's 'intimidating presence,' the girl cautiously swung her exclusive weapon, a chain blade!
It was a ghastly green chain, with a blade at the end. As the chain swung out from the side of the rocky platform, the blade transformed into a ghastly green claw hook, latching onto the platform's edge.
Screech—
As the chain retracted, a petite figure clad in black leather armor swung up like a swing from the side of the platform.
At this moment, Qin Feng also voluntarily canceled his invisibility.
However, he didn't completely let his guard down. Instead, he activated the 'Blacklight Shield,' forming layers of black damage-absorbing shields around him.
——
[Player 'Ghost Spirit' has requested to add you as a friend!]
[Verification message: 0.0]
——
Qin Feng accepted the friend request.
Then he looked up.
He saw a girl about 1.55 meters tall, petite, with short black hair that reached her neck. Due to her flipping motion, it was slightly disheveled, reflecting a fiery red from the surrounding magma.
Seeing her hairstyle, Qin Feng instinctively recalled a long time ago, an anime character named 'Rem'...
After jumping onto the platform, she retracted the ghastly green chain blade in her hand.
Her bright eyes curiously and somewhat cautiously examined Qin Feng in front of her.
It was clear that she was curious about the world's number one 'Shadow,' and there was a hint of admiration deep in her eyes...
In the previous life, she was wanted by the authorities, and Qin Feng had seen many photos and videos of this girl.
If there was anything similar between her now and the ruthless family-exterminating female assassin of the past life, it was the hatred deeply hidden in her eyes!
"Alright, we've added each other as friends, you can go now."
Qin Feng only glanced at her briefly before turning around and disappearing again: "To seek revenge, the most important thing is strength. If you want to quickly enhance your strength, don't spend your experience on leveling up just yet, focus on advancing your class to the second tier first."
"Although it requires a lot of experience, several times more than leveling up, advancing your class will definitely enhance you more than leveling up."
Hearing this, Ghost Spirit was slightly taken aback.
She instinctively glanced at her experience points...
She was just over halfway to level 10.
To advance her class to the second tier, wouldn't she have to grind for several more days?
However, Ghost Spirit clearly took this advice very seriously!
"Shadow is so strong because he prioritized class advancement?"
"Since Shadow said it, I'll trust him this once..."
...
After going invisible, Qin Feng proceeded deeper.
"Thank you."
Ghost Spirit sent a private message with just two words, then turned and left in the direction outside the Evil Spirit Academy.
Qin Feng didn't provide her with more information or help for now.
He wanted to see if she would listen first.
If she was willing to listen, Qin Feng could offer her more guidance to enhance her strength even faster!
"Next, let's take down the Evil Spirit Academy."
Qin Feng continued to delve deeper.
In the third underground level of the Evil Spirit Academy, filled with lava rivers, he advanced along stone bridges.
Soon, he encountered more physically immune monsters, as well as magically altered creatures like 'Flame Mummies.'
Previously, Qin Feng only had the 'Night Ring Blade' to harm physically immune ghost-type monsters.
But now, the almost cooldown-free 'Shadow Blade' had become Qin Feng's main offensive skill.
Upon encountering ghost-type physically immune monsters, he would directly unleash a Shadow Blade, hitting their weak points and instantly killing the small monsters!
After progressing for over ten minutes, he had taken down at least a hundred small monsters along the way.
"The experience is almost enough."
"Once I take down that final Platinum-level BOSS, I can advance my class to the second tier!"
For any class, advancing to the second tier is a qualitative change.
Qin Feng didn't know what kind of transformation his 'Shadow' class would undergo.
However, Ghost Spirit's 'Blade of the Underworld' class, upon advancing to the second tier, could unlock a new class skill, transforming into an 'Underworld Fiend,' which not only grants a higher level of invisibility but also enhances combat attributes in all aspects!
In the previous life, when Ghost Spirit massacred the Chu family, she did so in the state of an Underworld Fiend.
So...
If she could unlock this skill earlier, she might be able to take down Dongfang Yue and his people sooner.
Qin Feng would also feel more at ease!

[Mutated Witch Stana (Lv15)!]
[Grade: Platinum-level]
[Description: Guardian of the Evil Spirit Academy. Defeat it, and you will become the master of the Evil Spirit Academy (hideout)!]
——
Qin Feng arrived at the deepest part of the magical palace and saw the Platinum-level BOSS in the center of the palace!
This BOSS unusually had four heads composed of different elemental energies.
Each head faced a different direction.
Not only did it share the physical immunity trait with other ghost-type monsters, but it also had no 'back'!
Therefore, Qin Feng's Backstab Enhancement would not be effective against this BOSS.
Additionally, the Shadow Blink Slash dealt pure physical damage and couldn't harm this BOSS either.
Fortunately, Qin Feng's 'Night Ring Blade' combined with 'Shadow Blade' dealt considerable dark elemental damage!
Although it couldn't instantly kill the BOSS like 'Gift of Liberation' combined with 'Shadow Blink Slash,' taking down a Platinum-level BOSS wouldn't be too slow.
Moreover...
This Mutated Witch Stana had only one head active at a time.
The other three heads remained invincible!
Even the Gift of Liberation combined with Shadow Blink Slash couldn't instantly kill this BOSS...
Qin Feng entered invisibly, unnoticed by the Mutated Witch's four heads, and raised his hand.
Gift of Liberation, Night Ring Blade!
In an instant, a dark blade light swept across the Mutated Witch's four heads!
However, only one of the heads took damage:
-26348 (Weak Point Attack)!
Due to the Mutated Witch's high elemental resistance, the damage Qin Feng dealt was far less than what he could inflict on other players.
But Qin Feng didn't mind, because...
Shadow Blade!
Shadow Blade!
Shadow Blade!
...
One dark elemental blade after another flew from Qin Feng's hand, precisely hitting the BOSS's active head!
Of course, due to the short cooldown of Shadow Blade and its frequent use, not every Shadow Blade could benefit from the 'Stealth Attack' bonus.
However, it ensured that the BOSS never had any beneficial status effects!
It's important to know that this Platinum-level 'Mutated Witch' was a standard magical elemental BOSS, with many beneficial status effects. Each time a head was activated, it unleashed various elemental area-of-effect attacks, ravaging the entire area!
"Good thing I switched to the Forest White Bone Blade."
"Each hit doubles my movement speed!"
The doubled movement speed allowed Qin Feng, even when not in stealth, to dodge all the BOSS's skills like a shadow, smoothly and effortlessly!
By now, the difficulty of killing a Platinum-level BOSS had greatly decreased for Qin Feng.
In just two minutes...
The Mutated Witch's four heads were successively blown apart by Qin Feng's 'Shadow Blade'!
When the BOSS was killed, screaming and wailing as it fell...
Qin Feng didn't immediately check the loot it dropped.
Instead, he opened the attribute panel and directly clicked on class advancement!
After reaching level 15, he had been saving his experience points, otherwise, he would have been level 16 or even 17 by now.
All for this moment!

[Your Shadow class has advanced!]
[Current: Tier 1 → Tier 2!]
[Class Attribute Bonus: Strength 9 → 27, Constitution 9 → 27, Agility 24 → 72, Spirit 15 → 45!]
[New Class Passive 4: When you attack while in stealth, you will not exit stealth, and 'Stealth Attack' will still be effective.]
——
When Qin Feng saw the newly added fourth class passive, he was dumbfounded.
Attacking without exiting stealth?!
