The difference between Level 279 and Level 280 was far more than just one level. Level 280 players could undergo their Seventh Advancement after completing a quest. After advancing, their Soul Crystal growth aptitude would increase somewhat. Even an increase of just two or three stars, multiplied across 280 levels, would create a huge gap in attributes. What was more, advanced players would have rank suppression over those who had not advanced. In other words, reaching Level 280 would greatly boost a player's strength.
Furthermore, players would learn more powerful skills after their Seventh Advancement. If Ye Luo and his group could reach level 280 and undergo their Seventh Advancement before the Martial Arts Tournament, their chances of winning the championship would undoubtedly be greater. That was why he was so eager to level up.
Ye Luo was already level 276, only four levels away from level 280. However, he needed five times the experience of a Normal Player to level up. At this level, advancing was already extremely difficult, and only killing powerful bosses could raise his level quickly. That was why he had not passed up those Primordial God Grade bosses.
There were only five days left until the Martial Arts Tournament. Reaching level 280 and undergoing the Seventh Advancement within five days was undoubtedly unrealistic for Ye Luo. However, this Martial Arts Tournament would last quite a while, even the domestic competition, since it had many stages: elimination rounds, point matches, and challenge matches. Every stage would take some time, and determining the top eight teams and top sixteen individual players would take quite a while as well. As long as he could reach level 280 before facing experts from other countries, it would be fine.
For Ye Luo, making it into the top sixteen of the
