He walked out of the cave and headed deeper inside.
Before long, he discovered an area where seven or eight Level 5 Wild Boars were scattered about.
They were all lowering their heads and rooting through the mud for food.
A perfect target.
Yang Yu took a deep breath, not to calm himself down, but to fill his lungs with more air.
Without the slightest hesitation, he suddenly stepped out from behind a large tree.
"Roar!!!"
A pale red shockwave, visible to the naked eye, exploded outward from him!
War Cry!
The shockwave swept through the forest, and the seven or eight Wild Boars that had been feeding suddenly stiffened.
The next second, they raised their heads in unison. Their scarlet eyes instantly locked onto Yang Yu as though he had murdered their fathers, thick white vapor billowing from their nostrils.
"Snort! Snort!"
Piercing squeals rang out one after another. They abandoned the food at their mouths, spread their thick four legs, and charged wildly toward Yang Yu from all directions!
The ground began to tremble slightly.
Faced with a charge that resembled a tank formation, Yang Yu showed not the slightest fear. Instead, a knowing smile appeared on his face.
He turned and ran!
His steps were not hurried. He maintained a steady pace, neither too fast nor too slow.
Whenever the herd of Wild Boars behind him was about to catch up.
Yang Yu did not slow down in the slightest as he reached back and gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Blade Draw Slash!
A concentrated silver-white Sword Qi, as solid as substance, shot free from its sheath and transformed into a mournful crescent as it whistled backward!
A cluster of damage numbers instantly floated up.
-623
-594
-596
-612
-633
Lower-level monsters could hardly withstand even a single strike.
[You killed a LV5 normal Wild Boar. Experience +55!] [You killed a LV6 normal Wild Boar. Experience +66!] [You killed a LV4 normal Wild Boar. Experience +44!]
After chasing them for roughly half a minute, the Wild Boars behind him had not decreased in number. Instead, they had multiplied.
He constantly used War Cry to draw in monsters. Whether the Wild Boars were in front of him or behind him, none could escape Yang Yu's Blade Draw Slash.
He prioritized dealing with the monsters blocking his path.
Two crescent-shaped Sword Qi strikes swept precisely across the necks of the three Wild Boars ahead.
The charging Wild Boars abruptly froze. Their immense momentum carried them several more steps forward before three enormous boar heads flew into the air, and scorching blood sprayed out, staining the ground red.
[You killed a LV7 normal Wild Boar. Experience +77!] [You killed a LV8 normal Wild Boar. Experience +88!] [You killed a LV5 normal Wild Boar. Experience +55!]
Three system notifications rang out almost simultaneously.
Yang Yu leaped into the air, jumping over the Wild Boars blocking his way while swinging two more slashes backward.
Waves of warmth surged through his body. That was the Level 5 effect of Blade Draw Slash.
The stamina he had spent on Blade Draw Slash, War Cry, and running was instantly replenished.
Looking at the long procession behind him.
Yang Yu's heart leaped with joy.
This tactic worked!
His experience bar was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye!
His Skill Proficiency was soaring as though it had been strapped to a rocket!
This monster-farming method, which rapidly increased both experience and proficiency, completely immersed Yang Yu in the frenzy of slaughter.
He seemed to have transformed into a precise and merciless killing machine.
Every War Cry drew in monsters from dozens of meters around him.
Every sword draw cut down several Wild Boars.
Time flew by amid this extremely efficient hunt.
He continuously drew enemies in from afar.
At the same time, he encountered novice adventurers hunting monsters in groups of two or three.
These people had to be extremely cautious even when killing a single Wild Boar monster.
Yet sometimes, the monsters would have their aggro pulled away by Yang Yu directly.
Just as those people wanted to chase after them, they saw Yang Yu's terrifying Sword Qi.
They all stopped moving.
They chose another direction and could only consider themselves unlucky today.
Yang Yu felt a little embarrassed about it, but he had no intention of stopping.
He was already completely immersed in the sensation.
His War Cry skill continued to level up.
It even caught up to his own level.
The range at which it could taunt enemies was increasing.
The rate at which he gained experience was also rising.
He was so absorbed in the feeling that he did not even notice his own level increasing.
Who knew how much time had passed? When Yang Yu once again slaughtered all thirty-odd Wild Boars chasing behind him, a dazzling golden light erupted from his body once more!
[Congratulations! Your level has increased to LV10!] [Name: Yang Yu] [Class: Warrior (D-Rank)] [Level: 10 (0/20000)] [Strength: 50+10] [Agility: 32+10] [Constitution: 60+30] [Spirit: 9+10] [Equipment: Blood-Stained Iron Sword, Black Iron Barrier, Advancing Novice Adventurer Badge] [Skills: Blade Draw Slash (Lv12), War Cry (Lv10), Bloodthirsty Battle Intent (Lv2), Iron Will (Lv1)] [Blade Draw Slash] [Level: 12 (0/60000)] [Effect: Deals 3200% physical damage. Cooldown: 0.23 seconds.] [Effect 1: Execution Recovery. When this skill kills a target, restores the user's stamina.] [Effect 2: Sword Qi Projection. Releases a Sword Qi strike that deals 1600% physical damage to all enemies in a straight line. Maximum Sword Qi range: 12 meters.]
Finally, Level 10!
Both Blade Draw Slash and War Cry had improved as well.
Feeling the power in his body increase once again, Yang Yu let out a heavy breath.
Most importantly, War Cry had reached Level 10.
It had also gained an additional effect.
[War Cry] [Level: 10 (0/20000)] [Effect: Lets out a roar, drawing the aggro of enemies with less than 60 Spirit within an 80-meter radius and reducing their attack power by 20%. Cooldown: 1.5 seconds.] [Effect: Legion Holy Shield. Increases the defense of all teammates or friendly targets within 80 meters by 100 points for two minutes. This effect cannot stack!]
This newly added effect was actually an aura skill.
That was something he had not expected.
Although he was a lone wolf and it did not improve him as much as he had imagined, aura skills were still far too valuable.
People with such skills were often talents that major War Bands and legions fought to recruit.
Wait, had he overlooked something?
His gaze shifted back to his personal panel.
This time, he discovered that he had awakened a new skill.
Iron Will.
Yang Yu's heart pounded wildly.
This was a skill awakened by the Warrior class itself!
Blade Draw Slash had already become so powerful after leveling up. How strong could a skill awakened at Level 10 be?!
He eagerly turned his gaze toward Iron Will.
