[Level: 4 (99.00%)]
Lin Moyu stared at his data and was about to level up once again.
Thirteen Skeleton Warriors walked around him, steadily increasing his experience points.
Compared to the previous level, this ascension was faster and only took 50 minutes in total.
"The increase in Skeleton Warriors and the higher monster density didn't change the speed of monster killing."
"That's the reason for the accelerated leveling."
Lin Moyu analyzed his current situation.
He had already reached the depths of the beginner instance where there were many 6th and 7th level monsters.
Only the highest level 8 monsters hadn't yet appeared.
The increased monster density here led to a faster gain in experience.
The Skeleton Warriors, tireless as experienced fighters, continued to harvest one monster after another.
The only thing they regretted was that the monsters in the beginner instance didn't drop anything.
After all, it was a beginner's instance to help new pros get used to real combat, which was very different from that in the wild.
In the beginner instance, almost all monsters were weakened in their entirety.
Here, only the level 8 monsters remained unweakened and had the same strength as the monsters in the wilderness.
By the time you reached level 8, you should already have considerable combat experience when facing these monsters.
After level 8, it was time to say goodbye to the beginner instance.
Therefore, the level 8 monsters served as a bridge so that the new pros could get to know the strength of the wilderness monsters first.
This way, they weren't unprepared when they encountered monsters in the wilderness.
With the reappearance of the Leveling Pillar, Lin Moyu finally reached level 5.
Attributes increased and skills improved.
The Skeleton Warrior's strength also increased, and all attributes rose by another 100 points.

[Killed level 7 brown bear, experience +70]
The Skeleton Warriors weren't fazed by Lin Moyu's level increase, but continued to tirelessly search for monsters and kill them quickly.
From the moment Lin Moyu entered the instance, the Skeleton Warriors hadn't stopped.
"Hmm, the level increase has slowed down."
Lin Moyu noticed that the speed of level advancement had slowed down significantly after reaching level 5.
Previously, at level 4, killing a level 7 brown bear gave about 0.2% experience.
Only 500 had to be killed to level up.
However, after reaching level 5, killing a level 7 brown bear only gave 0.1% experience.
You had to kill 1000 to level up.
So the speed of leveling up had slowed by half.
"At this rate, it's difficult for normal pros to reach level 12 in just one week"
"Even if we left the instance and went to the outskirts of West Sea City, we wouldn't have enough time"
"The entrance exam for Xiajing Academy is really challenging. I wonder how my sister reached level 16 last year."
Lin Moyu calculated that you had to reach at least level 12 to pass the Xiajing Academy entrance exam.
To achieve this in one week, one would have to reach level 8 in the beginner instance within three days.
After level 8, one could hunt higher level monsters in the outskirts of West Sea City.
Only then would it be possible to reach level 12 within a week.
Thinking about it, Lin Moyu's sister had reached level 16 last year, which was indeed a very, very fast pace.
Lin Moyu used his skills again, consumed his mental power and summoned three more Skeleton Warriors.
There were 16 Skeleton Warriors in total, tirelessly searching for and killing monsters.
For Lin Moyu, the time he spent searching for monsters far exceeded the time he spent killing monsters.
It was just a matter of killing over 1000 monsters spread across 16 Skeleton Warriors, which wasn't much.
He could reach level 6 in just over an hour.
Who said he had too many minions?
Lin Moyu continued to advance while the Skeleton Warriors cleared the path and systematically eliminated the monsters hiding in the bushes.
After walking for a while, the terrain of the instance finally changed.
The grassland ended and a forest appeared ahead.
Lin Moyu knew that this was the end of the beginner instance.
The level 8 monsters of the instance were hidden in the forest.
"It's been 6 hours and 42 minutes since we entered the instance, less than 7 hours. I'm probably the only one who made it to the end of the instance."
Now, a little over 7 hours after the instance opened, most people probably hadn't even reached level 3.
Even Xia Xue was at most level 4 or even lower.
Lin Moyu believed that he'd level up faster than everyone else.
He continued walking towards the forest, curious to see how strong the unweakened level 8 monsters were.
Whether his skeleton warriors were strong enough to deal with them.
It would also serve as preparation for tomorrow's departure into the wilderness.
The Skeleton Warriors ran into the forest ahead of Lin Moyu.
The rustling in the forest echoed as the skeletal warriors quickly scanned for monsters.
"No monsters?"
The Skeleton Warriors hadn't found any monsters.
Lin Moyu found this strange and followed his lead.
The moment he entered the forest, a branch suddenly cracked.
Like a long whip, the branch struck Lin Moyu with lightning speed.
With such force, Lin Moyu barely had time to react.
The seemingly powerful branch didn't hurt Lin Moyu.
He didn't even feel anything, as if an invisible shield was protecting him.
Passive skill: damage transfer.
Any damage he took was automatically transferred to his summoned creatures.
He'd take no damage until all his summoned creatures were dead.
Indeed, a divine ability not much inferior to a divine talent.
