Experience Surges

Over three hundred Demonic Beasts, though all low-level Demonic Beasts for fighting, were at least at the low-level fifth layer realm. There were even over a dozen low-level eighth and ninth layer Demonic Beasts, equivalent to levels 8 and 9.

Calculating it this way, the experience gained from killing them would be enough for Qin Shaofeng to level up several times.

Thinking about his cultivation base skyrocketing again, Qin Shaofeng finally couldn't hold back. He raised the sharp sword in his hand and began his leveling-up plan.

However, Qin Shaofeng was selective when killing Demonic Beasts.

After all, these were Demonic Beasts the Beast Arena didn't need. Not only did they lack combat power, but some were even severely injured and on the verge of death.

Qin Shaofeng didn't want such Demonic Beasts to die just like that, as it would be a waste of a large amount of experience.

"System Notification: Congratulations to the player for killing one Level 3 Hedgehog Beast, gaining 1 experience point!"

A flash of sword light streaked across, and soon a nearly dead low-level third-layer Hedgehog Beast was slain by Qin Shaofeng.

"Sigh, killing a low-level third-layer Demonic Beast at Body Tempering Triple Layer only gave 1 experience point. This is a bit disappointing!"

Listening to the System's prompt, Qin Shaofeng couldn't help but complain.

However, Qin Shaofeng's heart suddenly stirred, as if he had thought of something. Afterward, he began to selectively kill Demonic Beasts.

"System Notification: Congratulations to the player for killing one Level 4 Pig Cage Beast, gaining 5 experience points!"

"System Notification: Congratulations to the player for killing one Level 5 Furious Demonic Wolf, gaining 10 experience points!"

"System Notification: Congratulations to the player for killing one Level 6 Flower Carving Leopard, gaining 20 experience points!"

As expected!

After successively killing several low-level Demonic Beasts of different levels, Qin Shaofeng discovered that killing a Demonic Beast at the same level as him only yielded 1 experience point.

When killing monsters above one's level, there's an experience bonus: exceeding by 1 level grants five times the experience, 2 levels grants 10 times, 3 levels grants 20 times, 4 levels grants 30 times, 5 levels grants 40 times...

At Qin Shaofeng's current Body Tempering Triple Layer level, killing a low-level eighth-layer Demonic Beast would grant 40 experience points, while killing a ninth-layer Demonic Beast would grant 50 experience points.

After a series of experiments, Qin Shaofeng understood the System's current experience model for killing monsters above one's level.

This made him realize that, given his current situation, it seemed more cost-effective to kill higher-level Demonic Beasts first.

After all, there was an experience bonus!

"System Notification: Congratulations to the player for killing one Level 9 Great Strength Ape Monkey, gaining 50 experience points!"

After killing another low-level eighth-layer Demonic Beast, Qin Shaofeng received a System prompt.

"System Notification: Congratulations to the player for reaching the experience requirement for leveling up. Player Qin Shaofeng's level has been increased to Level 4!"

Player: Qin Shaofeng
Level: Body Tempering Fourth Layer, 23/400 (377 experience points needed for the next level, Body Tempering Fifth Layer)
Inner Qi: 120/120 (Body Tempering Fourth Layer has 40 Inner Qi points, Yi Jin Jing grants triple bonus)
Skills: Fiery Golden Eyes, Yi Jin Jing
Battle Beast: Hundred Spirits Demon Fox
Equipment: None
Quests: None
Points: 100

Ha!

Body Tempering Fourth Layer!

The System's prompt made Qin Shaofeng's heart fill with joy. He swung his sharp sword even faster.

Another flurry of slashes. Due to the continuous killing of monsters above his level, the System's prompt for leveling up sounded again before long.

"System Notification: Congratulations to the player for reaching the experience requirement for leveling up. Player Qin Shaofeng's level has been increased to Level 5!"

But this time, to Qin Shaofeng's surprise, after the leveling-up prompt, the System actually issued another prompt.

"System Notification: Congratulations to the player for reaching Level 5. The System Quest System is now unlocked!"

Quest System?

Qin Shaofeng was startled and immediately brought up his status interface to check.

After a thorough review, Qin Shaofeng discovered that the so-called Quest System was a function for issuing System Quests.

As long as System Quests were completed, players would receive rewards in the form of points and experience.

The System Quests ranged from low to high, with ten levels from one to ten stars. The corresponding star level divided the player's level and strength.

The difficulty of quests within the same star level also varied depending on the player's level.
