Under the cover of night, the Demon Beast Forest still glowed faintly.
Ye Que, drawn by the scent of blood, entered the dense forest.
A one-horned rhinoceros, exuding the aura of a fourth-level demon beast, plunged its horn into the head of a black-spotted boar.
The boar struggled desperately, on the verge of death.
"Don't die! Leave me some experience points and proficiency!"
Ye Que charged forward at full speed, unleashing Shadow Strike before the boar could die.
"Ding! Host has killed a third-level demon beast, a black-spotted boar! Gained 0.5 experience points."
"Ding! Shadow Strike proficiency increased by 10."
Roar!
The one-horned rhinoceros was enraged.
This was its prey, and a mere palm-sized tortoise dared to steal it!
It was courting death!
With a thud, it trampled the tortoise.
"The harder you try, the more excited I get!"
Ye Que retracted his limbs and head into the tortoise's shell.
"Rock Tremor!"
"Ding! Host's talent triggered, counterattack!"
The one-horned rhinoceros was sent flying, its hooves covered in blood.
It was dumbfounded.
"This thing is so small, yet it's so uncomfortable!"
"Ding! Rock Tremor Proficiency increased by 15."
Awesome!
"Come on, stomp on it!"
Ye Que charged towards the unicorn rhinoceros.
The unicorn rhinoceros, having suffered a setback, dared not confront it directly and turned to flee.
However, something devastating happened.
This thing actually caught up with him.
"Ding! Host has killed a level four demonic beast, a unicorn rhinoceros! Gained 1 experience point."
Finally, Ye Que killed the unicorn rhinoceros.
"Go find more demonic beasts to grind! Experience points and proficiency, I need to grind them all!"
With a map scan notification, he found another level four demonic beast.
Using Shadow Strike, Rock Tremor, and his talent counterattack, he killed this level four demonic beast.
He gained another 1 experience point
. Looking at the panel again:
Speed: 4.2/10
Defense: 5/10
Attack: 4/10
Experience Points: 3 Martial Arts: Martial Arts
unlocked . Evolution: Wild Forest Turtle (A fourth-level demonic beast with keen hearing) Cultivation Techniques: Unlocked at the fifth level. Skill 1: Shadow Strike 40/500 (Upgrades to Void Assassination Technique upon reaching 500 proficiency) Skill 2: Rock Tremor 50/100 (Upgrades to Rock Seal upon reaching 100 proficiency) Secret Technique: Riot (Increases all abilities by 50% within one minute; cooldown: three days) Experience points and skill proficiency are both increasing. "I need more experience points and proficiency!" Ye Que went to find another demonic beast. "Ding! Host has killed a fourth-level demonic beast, Earth-Splitting Tiger!" "Ding! Rock Tremor proficiency increased by 15." " Ding! Shadow Strike proficiency increased by 15." "Ding! The host needs 3 experience points to break through to the next level; therefore, the maximum experience points are 3! This kill will not grant any experience points!" "What!" Ye Que was shocked. There was even a maximum value! But he quickly came to terms with it. He himself was skeptical that he could grow into a powerful figure simply by killing weak demonic beasts. After all, whether you can level up by fighting monsters depends on the quality of the monsters. "I can only gain proficiency, not experience points... wait a minute!" His eyes lit up. "The maximum experience points is 3, so if I use them all up, I can still farm!" He immediately opened the panel. Speed: 4.2/10 Defense: 5/10 Attack: 4/10 Experience Points: 3 "Speed increased by 1, defense by 1.1, attack by 0.9!" Instantly, the panel data changed. Speed: 5.2/10 Defense: 6.1/10 Attack: 4.9/10 Experience Points: 0 "Hahahaha! Speed at level five, defense at level six, and my cultivation level is still at level four, I'm truly a genius among geniuses!!" He decided to farm 3 experience points, use them up, and then continue farming. He'd keep his attack stagnant and focus on getting his defense and speed to a super-strong level. Ye Que was excited and went to hunt monsters again. "Ding! Host has killed a level 4 demonic beast, the Wild Black Bull! Gained 1 experience point." "Ding! Rock Tremor Proficiency increased by 15." "Ding! Shadow Strike Proficiency increased by 15." "Map scan notification: A level 5 demonic beast has appeared 600 meters ahead!" Ye Que rushed forward. Not long after, he returned. "That level 5 demonic beast was too cunning. If it weren't for its low attack power, I would definitely have killed it!" Although he could use his defensive talents and skills to wear down the level 5 demonic beast, doing so was too time-consuming and energy-intensive. Compared to killing a level 4 demonic beast, the cost-effectiveness was too low. "I'll go kill the level 4 demonic beast. With my level 5 speed and level 6 defense, a level 4 demonic beast can't hurt me!" Ye Que hunted demonic beasts again. Before dawn, he gained another 3 experience points. He opened his panel. Speed: 5.2/10 Defense: 6.1/10 Attack: 4.9/10
Experience Points: 3
"Speed +1.5, Defense +1.5."
Ye Que eagerly added the points.
"Ding! The host's speed, defense, and attack are too far apart, experience points cannot be used."
Ye Que was dumbfounded.
Speed, defense, and attack can only differ by a maximum of two realms?
Actually, he had already guessed that there might be a limit after grinding to a certain level.
Therefore, he wasn't surprised when it actually happened.
"Then speed +1.7, defense +0.8."
The panel data changed again.
Speed: 6.9/10
Defense: 6.9/10
Attack: 4.9/10
Experience Points: 0.5
This way of adding points not only maximizes strength, but also keeps the speed, defense, and attack within two realms.
And his own realm remains stable at the fourth level.
"This way I can grind another 2.5 experience points."
While he's still at the fourth level, he'll quickly hunt fourth-level monsters to grind a high amount of experience points.
Ye Que used the technique of controlling his realm to grind experience points and proficiency to its fullest extent.
By the time he had maxed out his experience points, it was already broad daylight, with the sun high in the sky.
"The system had previously notified me that the proficiency of Rock Tremor had reached 100, and it had been upgraded to Rock Seal."
He opened the panel to check.
Speed: 6.9/10
Defense: 6.9/10
Attack: 4.9/10
Experience Points: 3
Martial Arts: Unlocked.
The Martial Arts section was flashing. He
focused his mind on the Martial Arts section.
Evolution: Wild Forest Turtle (A fourth-level demonic beast with keen hearing)
Technique: Unlocked at the fifth level
Skill 1: Shadow Strike 235/500 (Proficiency increased to 500, can be upgraded to Void Assassination Technique)
Skill 2: Rock Seal 0/500 (Proficiency increased to 500, can be upgraded to Void Tremor)
Secret Technique: Riot (Increases all abilities by 50% within one minute, cooldown: three days)
With 3 experience points, Rock Tremor upgraded to Rock Seal, and the proficiency of Shadow Strike increased significantly.
"Now that I've reached the experience point cap, I can't add any more points to speed, attack, or defense. Just grinding proficiency is too inefficient! The only way is to break through!"
Actually, breaking through isn't a bad thing.
Reaching the fifth level unlocks a cultivation technique, which will greatly benefit him.
Without much thought, Ye Que decisively broke through.
"Attack +1."
Instantly, the panel data changed.
Speed: 6.9/10
Defense: 6.9/10
Attack: 5.9/10
Experience Points: 2
"Ding! Host's speed, defense, and attack have all reached 5 or higher, allowing you to break through to the fifth level! Break through?"
"Break through!"
His body continuously grew stronger.
"Ding! Breakthrough successful!"
The fifth level unlocks a cultivation technique!
"I need to replenish my stamina first!"
Having killed many monsters before, Ye Que wasn't short of food.
After eating his fill, he checked the panel.

Ye Que was very excited.
