My Dream After Having a Do Over Is To Become The Best Player - Chapter 7.2: Fresh Leveling

Shi Feng drew his novice sword and charged behind the rock giant, striking with a single blow.

The rock giant only suffered 3 points of damage to its head, which was negligible compared to its 550 HP. Moreover, it recovered 1% of its HP every 5 seconds in combat, which made it difficult to kill within a minute.

After being attacked by Shi Feng, the rock giant tried to turn around to counterattack. However, its turning speed was already extremely slow, and now it was further reduced by 70%. It became extremely sluggish, allowing Shi Feng to land two normal attacks and a [Slash] in succession, dealing -3, -3, -6 damage.

Due to level suppression, the effect of the [Slash] wasn’t very good. However, because the rock giant was four levels higher than him, it gives him an extra skill proficiency in the [Slash] skill. Combined with the [Swordsman] Class Attribute, the proficiency of the [Slash] Skill increased by 3 points in an instant.

It’s a great place to increase a player’s skill proficiency.

The rock giant finally managed to turn around to face Shi Feng, but Shi Feng didn’t give it a chance. He circled around to the back and launched another attack.

Tempestuous Thunderstrike!

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed, dealing 4 points of damage to the rock giant. Then another one, dealing 5 points, followed by a final one causing 7 points of damage.

All three lightning bolts hit, and the proficiency of [Tempestuous Thunderstrike] Skill, increased by 3 points in an instant.

Then came several sword strikes.

A series of -4, -4, -4 damage. Compared to before, although each strike dealt 1 point more damage, the total accumulated damage was much higher. The follow-up effect of Tempestuous Thunderstrike was very powerful. Although the increased damage only lasted for 15 seconds, it significantly accelerated the killing speed, enabling Shi Feng to finish the battle within a minute and saving expensive exploding fruits.

Despite the rock giant’s thick HP and high attack, if it couldn’t hit Shi Feng, it became nothing more than a training dummy, providing experience and skill proficiency for Shi Feng.

Skill proficiency didn’t increase just by using a skill. There was a 20% chance of increasing by 1 point when facing monsters of the same level, 40% for one level higher, 70% for two levels higher, 100% for three levels higher, 150% for four levels higher, and 200% for five levels higher. It continued to increase further, up to a maximum of 1000%.

Shi Feng was now killing level 5 rock giants, gaining skill proficiency at a rate several times that of others.

In less than a minute, the rock giant finally fell.

System: You killed a level 5 rock giant as a level 4 player, gaining 400% experience point, obtaining 120 Experience Points.

Shi Feng’s experience bar increased by a segment, leaving him with 880 experience points left to reach level 2. This meant that by killing 8 rock giants, he could reach level 2.

The central mountain range was definitely a great place for leveling up and collecting treasures, but unfortunately, by the time people discovered it, it was already two months later.

After killing the rock giant, Shi Feng searched around and found a piece of bronze ore, a material for making Bronze-Tier equipment, as well as a hard stone. Then, he searched the area and soon found a rare herb called Hundred Spirits Flower, the main ingredient for making basic healing potions.

Just as he approached, another rock giant emerged. Shi Feng threw another exploding fruit.

Tempestuous Thunderstrike!

Slash!

In no time, he obtained another hard stone, 120 experience points, and a large amount of skill proficiency in both skills.

Seeing the cooldown of the Weightlessness Equipment Skill on the [Levity Ring] was over, Shi Feng continued climbing upwards.

He searched for rare herbs and killed rock giants along the way.

As the eighth rock giant fell, Shi Feng reached level 2. He allocated all his points into agility, reaching 16 points, only 4 points away from unlocking the skill “High Maneuver.”

The skill proficiency of [Slash] had reached 300 points, making it to level 2. It would require 600 points of proficiency to reach level 3, with an additional damage increase to 12 points and a reduction of cooldown time by one second.

If other players knew about this leveling speed, they would probably go crazy. It usually took five to six hours to go from level 0 to 1 and at least seven to eight hours from level 1 to 2. However, for Shi Feng, it took less than twenty minutes to reach level 2. His leveling speed was like that of a rocket.

Shi Feng approached the fallen rock giant and searched around.

“Not bad, I actually got an equipment.” Shi Feng found a piece of cloth armor, seeing what it is, he got slightly disappointed.

— Gorgeous Cloth Robe (Common), Equipment Level 4, Endurance +3, Magic Point +10, Durability 20/20.

However, as the [God’s Domain] had just opened, the drop rate of equipment was extremely low. Even Common Equipment was very rare, let alone those that are of level 4. There would surely be people willing to buy this robe at a high price.

Shi Feng put away the equipment and was about to continue climbing when he suddenly noticed a cave not far ahead.

Walking over to take a look, Shi Feng’s heart suddenly raced.

A huge rock giant was sleeping in the cave, its body not the usual dark gray color but silver-white.

[Xiluos — LV.15 Special Elite — HP 900/900]

Special elites were a monster even more formidable than elites. A level 6 elite could be taken down by a six-person team, but it would take at least 12 to 15 people to defeat a level 6 special elite. In other words, it would require 15 level 6 players to unite to defeat the Special Elite, Xiluos, in front of Shi Feng.

Without hesitation, Shi Feng charged forward and used the [Tempestuous Thunderstrike] Skill directly, one bolt of lightning after another streaking across the huge body of Xiluos.

-1, -2, -3, damage numbers appeared above Xiluos’s head.
