“Little monkey, how dare you be so arrogant. Become my experience bar.” Su Jin revealed a smile and silently activated his masteries and skills. He sprinted towards the demonic apes and slashed wildly.

– 310!

– 310!

– 310!

– 329!

…

‘Ding! Your [ Cleave ] trigger skill: Fighting Aura Domain!’

“Ding! You have killed a demonic ape. Gained experience points x100!”

“Ding…”

“Ding…”

“Ding…”

Su Jin kept slashing the monsters while drinking a bottle of mana potion. He was not worried about being interrupted at all. After the previous infighting, other demonic apes would not come to watch even though they heard the movement here.

However, he was already level 10, the same level as the demonic apes, so the experience points that he earned were less than expected.

After activating [ Fighting Aura Domain ] , his killing speed was even faster. It did not take long for him to kill 30 demonic apes and gain 3,000 experience points.

However, he had learned two more skills earlier, so he needed more experience points to fill up the experience bars.

[ Stealth ] , level 1, (1,000/150,000)

[ Shadow Warrior ] , L v 1, (5,000/150,000)

The two experience bars had just begun to fill up, so the experience points in the character’s experience bars were no longer stored. They were all filled up with the first [ Cleave ] skill.

According to his current speed of farming monsters, after killing for a day and completing the quest, he would be able to level up both skills to level 2. After all of the skills had reached level 3, he would be able to complete the class change quest.

Su Jin had Shadow Wolf retreated. Then, he collected the equipment, copper coins, and magic stones dropped by the demonic apes into his backpack. These were all experience points and gold coins.

Then, he went to the next gathering place of the demonic apes and continued to fight them with the previous method.

…

This way of killing monster was very efficient and there wasn’t much danger, so he didn’t need to put much effort. It felt good for a short period of time, but after a long period of time, it would become very boring.

He had been mechanically controlling the Shadow Wolf to attack. After that, he watched the internal fight of the demonic apes. It was not challenging at all, and Su Jin almost fell asleep.

Shaking his head, Su Jin braced himself and repeated the previous actions. Very soon, he was sleepy again. In order to refresh himself, he immediately opened the world chat room and the regional chat room to see if there was any news, or if there was an argument between solo players and guilds.

Watching a show was always very interesting, so he would not feel sleepy.

After entering the world chat room, Su Jin directly clicked to the top and started to watch the historical news record.

There was no argument, but the recorded news appeared from time to time.

Occasionally, there were a few videos that indicated where it came from.

“Battle report! The number one guild in the entire server, the Dawn Star Guild, has been wiped out when they explored the [ Devil Dragon’s Fury ] dungeon!”

“Battle Report! The number two guild in the entire server, the Dark Night Guild, has five ex-pro players who explored the [ Devil Dragon’s Fury ] dungeon with silver equipment. They were wiped out by the small monsters within ten minutes!”

“Battle report! The number three guild in the entire server, the Round Table Guild, has failed to explore the [ Devil Dragon’s Fury ] dungeon!”

The recorded message was scrolled down, and there were no consolation messages, but a group of solo players chatting.

“Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter. These so-called big guilds are all trashes. The top three guilds are basically useless.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Pro players my as*. I think they’re nothing.”

“Trash big guilds. Other than fighting in the wild and killing small monsters, they’re useless. These trashes couldn’t even kill a boss. Why don’t they just go back and jump into the river and die?”

“Brothers, post more videos. I’ll post it again on the forum. If I don’t collect enough, it won’t be enough to watch.”

“Wait, I’ll contact someone to come over now.”

The world chat room was completely occupied by solo players and small guild players. Generally speaking, it was full of mocking words for the big guilds. There were also a few neutral, analyzing the reasons for the failure of the dungeon raid.

The videos were collected and sent to the forums. More and more of them were spread in the game.

Basically, the guilds with ambition were all desperately trying to get the first clear of [ Devil Dragon’s Fury ] for the sake of the announcement and the rewards. Moreover, in order to increase their popularity, some of them would even live-stream the dungeon raid.

This also caused a portion of the videos to be spread and ridiculed by the solo players.

This was because all the guilds that started the dungeon were no exception. All of them suffered a crushing defeat. They didn’t even get to see the dungeon boss’s face and fell on the outermost edge.

Su Jin wasn’t surprised by this result.

This was because the dungeon rewards of [ Devil Dragon’s Fury ] were too rich. It could increase the strength of the guild by one level. On the surface, it was considered a normal difficulty dungeon, but in reality, its difficulty was very high.

Moreover, everyone could only receive a reward once. There would be no reward for clearing the dungeon multiple times.

In his previous life, the standard equipment recommended for clearing this dungeon was level 15. At the very least, one had to go through a class change. The players had to be fully equipped with bronze equipment and two level 2 green skills, as well as the cooperation of a superb team.

Many players spent half a month in the novice village to clear the dungeon and receive the reward just to obtain a set of equipment and skills.

However, even so, less than 1% of the players had actually cleared the [ Devil Dragon’s Fury ] dungeon.

Meanwhile, the players from the large guilds had basically learned a white skill in order to reach level 1 or 5. Their combat power was very weak, and their equipment was still novice village equipment.

With this arrangement, they could indeed level up quickly without the burden of skills. However, in the “New World”, it was very brainless to level up without thinking.

In the later stage of “New World”, there would also be many quests that rewarded ‘attribute points’, ‘rare skills’, and even ‘skill columns’. Players who leveled up without thinking would not be able to complete those quests with their combat strength. In the later stages, they would not even be able to defeat small monsters.

The gap that was opened up in the early stages would be reversed in the later stages, and it might even be several times worse.

Su Jin continued to scroll down. Some guild players jumped out and curse at the solo players in the world chat room. Both sides had already chatted hundreds of messages.

Just as he was about to finish reading and relax, he received a message in his friends list.

It was from Scarlet Rose. During the last transaction, she had added him as a friend.

“Heavenly Cloud, what level are you now? Our guild has decided to raid the dungeon [ Devil Dragon’s Fury ] . Do you want to come? They’re all beauties.”

Scarlet Rose asked in a very ambiguous tone.

The thoughts that popped up last time had still affected her, which was seducing Su Jin.

Su Jin’s eyes flashed, and he said vaguely, “I’m almost level 10.”

He wouldn’t tell the truth directly. He had been hiding his level before, so the others didn’t know his level.

“Then you’re not yet. Forget it, the beauties are free to move around.”

Scarlet Rose sent a smiley face. It was obvious that she did not trust Heavenly Cloud about his level.

After all, he could say that he was almost level 10 from level 1 to level 9.

“The beauties don’t need me now? I’m very capable.” Su Jin replied with a smile.

“Tsk, all you guys like to brag. I don’t believe you.” Scarlet Rose replied very quickly. She was currently outside a valley and was about to close her chat when Su Jin sent her a message.

“You guys are too arrogant. Don’t think that just because you bought a few pieces of equipment that you’re strong enough. With your guild’s current strength, you’re courting death if you go to explore [ Devil Dragon’s Fury ].”

“Ptui, I won’t listen to your nonsense. You’re just jealous of us and don’t want us to accept the rewards. Hmph, I’ll give you a gift after we clear the dungeon.”

Scarlet Rose arrogantly refused and closed the chat. With a wave of her hand, she led the players that had gathered from the guild into the valley dungeon..
