The moment this speculation appeared, the entire thread exploded.
[Totally possible! Qin Beast is practicing a Top-grade Acupoint Opening Technique, which is way harder and takes much longer! He's been enrolled for forty years, so it's perfectly normal if it takes him another seventy or eighty years to advance to the fifth level!]
[Holy shit, by that logic, Zhou Run won't be competing next time. Doesn't that mean the ruler of the Fourth Level Division is about to change from a Zhou to a Qin?]
[Oh, come on! It's bad enough that Zhou Run has been a Lai Zi for decades, but this guy, Qin Beast, is practicing a Top-grade Acupoint Opening Technique! The average promotion time is a hundred years! He's only been at it for forty years, which means he's going to be a 'Lai Zi' in the Fourth Level Division for at least another sixty or seventy years?!]
