The experience from killing Akaza was even greater than Xia Xi had expected.
He had thought the little redhead would only be worth a little more than the new Upper Rank Three from not long ago.
Just over seven thousand, at most.
He had never expected the experience from killing Akaza to approach ten thousand.
Combined with the four hundred experience from small-fry kills that had trickled in not long ago.
Xia Xi's progress bar was now well over halfway full.
Unfortunately, as the new Upper Rank Two, Oni Samurai was still worth over three thousand less than the former Upper Rank Two, Ice Mage.

He felt Akaza still fell a little short. Never mind being worth much more experience than Doma.
The old and new holders should at least have been worth about the same.
