Ihan half an hour, Lu Ming had already reached level 2.
It's worth noting that over 90% of new pyers with average aptitude take at least half a day or even a full day to level up from 1 to 2 without assistance!
In parison, Lu Ming's leveling speed was like he had an accelerator.
To address the early game mana she, Lu Ming allocated all 3 attribute points from leveling up to his Spirit.
As a result, with the automaticrease of 10 mana and 1 Spirit point from leveling up, Lu Ming's mana jumped from 20 to 70! Moreover, with a total of 5 Spirit points, Lu Ming could nee 0.5 mana per sed, offsetting half of the War Tread's per-sed ption!
At the same time, as Lu Ming leveled up, the War Tread skill automatically upgraded to Lv2.
The attack boost effect for allies within range increased from (Trickster 10% attack +3) to 10% attack +5.
On the surface, it seemed like only a 2 point attacrease. But for Lu Ming, who had a tenfold skill amplification, it was actually a 20 point attack boost!
Additionally, the Undead Warrior's level also rose to 2 along with Lu Ming.
Like pyer growth, the Undead Warriained mana +10, health +20, all attributes +1, and 3 free attribute points upon leveling up.
War Tread had already greatly ehe Undead Warrior's output capability. Thus, Lu Mihe Undead Warrior's attribute allocation to 2 agility and 1 strength to enhas maneuverability.
After pleting the allocation, he opehe pao take a look.
[Undead Warrior] (Tier 1)
[Level: 2]
[Master: her]
[Physical Attack: 61] (including 57 points from War Tread bonus)
[Speed: 4]
[Armor: 2]
[Magic Resistance: 2]
[Mana: 40]
[Health: 90]
[Skills: None]
...
As Lu Ming reached level 2, the maximum number of Undead Warriors he could summon increased to 20.
So, he opehe summoning panel and used the accumuted 90 soul points to summon.
Whoosh-! Whoosh-! Whoosh-!
...
Dozens of shadow vortices blossomed around Lu Ming, and ten fully armored Undead Warriors emerged from the darkness, responding to the call.
Immediately, under Lu Ming's and, all twenty Undead Warriors, bearing the War Tread aura, spread out in the Shadow Forest, eng their sughter.
With the additional attack boost from War Tread increasing from 36 to 57 points, an Undead Warrior needed only a single basic attack to instantly kill a level 1 Jungle Spider with just 50 health!
Lu Ming began to mentally trol the undead legion to delve deeper into the Shadow Forest, hunting more advanced level 2-3 Jungle Spiders.
Even the level 2 Jungle Spiders with 90 health or the level 3 ones with 150 health couldn't withstand 2-3 hits from the Undead Warriors. Moreover, with 2 points added to agility, the Undead Warriors, with 4 speed, pletely outmatched the level 1-3 Jungle Spiders. So, in terms of both damage and speed, the Undead Warriors were dominant.
Within the War Tread domain, it ractically a sughterhouse for the Undead Warriors!
The twenty Undead Warriors advanced unstoppably, sying every level 1, 2, and 3 Jungle Spider in their path!
During the process of remotely trolling the Undead Warriors with his mind, Lu Ming discovered that he could share the vision of all the Undead Warriors! Wherever the Undead Warriors passed, a map gradually formed in Lu Ming's mind!
However, ohey were more than 500 yards away from Lu Ming, the Undead Warriors would stop moving as if they had lost power.
"It seems the maximum tre for the Undead Warriors is 500 yards, which tally matches the effective range of the War Tread skill."
Additionally, uhe strict order to obey all ands from their master, the Undead Warriors possessed a small amount of autonomous awareness, knowing to collect loot for their master after battles. All loot collected by the Undead Warriors would be directly transferred to Lu Ming's backpack.
Everything was fully automated! There was no more fortable way to level up than this!
Unfortunately, the drop rate in Sky Abyss was too low. So far, after killing hundreds of Jungle Spiders, Lu Ming had only collected 15 Copper s, with no equipment drops at all!
Although Lu Ming khat making money wasn't the most important thing early on, leveling up and increasing strength were. Once he had the strength, money would be easy to e by.
However, at the moment, Lu Ming urgently needed moo cover the rent he had spent on buying skill scrolls and equipment. Otherwise, he would be kicked out by the ndlord!
Just as Lu Ming was thinking about this, battle notifications flooded in.
[Ding~ Killed a level 1 Jungle Spider, experience points +1!]
[Ding~ Killed a level 3 Jungle Spider, experience points +4!]
[Ding~ Killed a level 2 Jungle Spider, experience points +2!]
...
Ihan an hour.
Whoosh-!
Anolden light desded.
[Ding~ gratutions on reag level 3, all attributes +1, mana +10, health +20, free attribute points +3; level requires 500 experience points!]
Lu Mied the process, allog all 3 free attribute points to spirit, raising it to 9 points, and his mana to 120!
After War Tread upgraded to Lv3, the attack boost effect for allies within range increased to (Trickster 10% attack +8).
Aside from the mana cost to activate the skill increasing from 3 to 4 points, the subsequent per-seana cost remai 1 point.
And with the 0.9 mana regeion per sed from Lu Ming's 9 spirit points, he could finally keep up with the tinuous ption of War Tread without having to stop frequently to recover!
With the maximum number of Undead Warriors he could summon increasing from 20 to 30, Lu Ming's monster-killing speed was maximized!
By nine in the evening and again at eleven-thirty, he leveled up once more—
[Pyer ID: her] (Lv5, Trickster)
[At Aptitude: Ten-Star]
[Strength: 7]
[Agility: 5]
[Spirit: 17]
[Endurance: 5]
[stitution: 5]
[Physical Attack: 10]
[Armor: 5]
[Magic Resistance: 5]
[Speed: 5]
[Mana: 220]
[Health: 180]
[Money: 0 Gold 0 Silver 83 Copper]
[Experience: 13/1200]
[Skills: Reaissance (F-grade), War Tread (F-grade)]
In one night, he leveled up four times, reag level 5 from level 1, achieving in a single night what would take ordinary people three to five days.
The strength of this Ten-Star at, was simply eous!
It was worth the five years of humiliation and enduran his past life, crawling uhers' feet to reach level 200 and obtain the Scroll of Deification!
And it proved that giving up the system-reended mage css and choosing the Trickster profession was aremely wise decision. Otherwise, even if he could summon more Undead Warriors, they would just be a bunch of on fodder.
But now, eadead Warrior, enhanced by Lu Ming the Trickster, was like a demon god from hell!
Upon reag level 5, Lu Ming could summon up to 50 Undead Warriors! War Tread Lv5's attack boost effect for allies within range reached (Trickster 10% attack +15). bined with Lu Ming's 10 physical attack, after receiving the tenfold [prehensive Amplification], it meant a massive 160 attack boost for the Undead Warriors! Plus the Undead Warriors' own 11 attack points. Making the Undead Warriors, even at just level 5, have a terrifying 171 attack power!
Lu Ming couldn't help but click his tongue, "A level 10 Sed Transition warrior with full strength allocation and plete equipment might struggle to break three-digit attack power."
The thought of such terrifyingly powerful Undead Warriors obeying his ands, and being able to trol fifty of them at once, filled Lu Ming with excitement!
In such a violent state, even the highest level 5 Jungle Spiders in the Shadow Forest couldn't withstand two basic attacks from the Undead Warriors!
"Acc to Sky Abyss's settings, pyers who kill monsters lower in level than themselves only gain 1 point of forced experience, and the drop rate signifitly decreases."
"This pce doesn't have much value for improvement anymore."
Having lived another life, Lu Ming now had a clear goal.
As he knew, each major novice vilge area had an 8-10 level dungeon called the [Scarlet Zone].
This dungeon was far more famous than others, known worldwide for a tury!
Because it had a special difficulty division: Normal, Elite, Epic, Legendary, Nightmare, and Hell, with each level's difficulty increasing expoially.
And each pyer only had one lifetime opportunity to ehe dungeon.
The Scarlet Zone was indepely divided by the national server.
Acc to historical records, in the hundred years since Sky Abyss desded, the highest clearance record in the Great Xia server reached Nightmare difficulty.
Although it was already far ahead pared to other tries, it was still oep away from Hell difficulty clearance.
Reportedly, st year, the Uates simultaneously produced a top pyer with a six-star aptitude and two with five-star aptitude ats. With strong national support, they joined forces to finally clear the Hell difficulty of the Scarlet Zone in the Uates server, earning the reward: a skill scroll with unlimited growth potential!
It's known that all skills in the Sky Abyss world ot be upgraded in quality ter on; whatever quality they start with is perma.
Unless a higher-quality skill of the same type is used to overwrite the lower-quality one.
In his previous life, after five years in the Sky Abyss world, Lu Ming's highest skill was only D-grade. And unlimited growth meant that this skill could reach the highest level: SSS-grade! So the market valuation of that skill scroll was reportedly over a billion dolrs!
Thus, Lu Ming's first goal was to achieve the first Hell difficulty clearance reward in the Great Xia server's Scarlet Zone dungeon!
Therefore, Lu Ming's current goal was to quickly reach level 8 to meet the entry requirements for the Scarlet Zone dungeon!
He checked his current status, found that uhe Undead Warriors' sughter, the [Who Stole the Ring] quest had reached the highest tenth tier: a cumutive kill of 300 Jungle Spiders!
At this point, it was already half-past eleven at night, and Lu Ming was feeling a bit hungry.
"I'll head back to the novice vilge to turn in the quest, log off for a te-night snack, and then e back to level up in a higher-level area." With this in mind.
Just as Lu Ming was about to mentally recall all the Undead Warriors and head back, he suddenly noticed through the shared vision of one of the Undead Warriors scattered throughout the Shadow Forest that several figures were rapidly approag!
