Chapter 9: Chapter 9 These seem to be done by Xu Gu!
The Frost Steel Tiger could never have imagined, even in its wildest dreams, that a simple steel tiger like itself would encounter such a powerful and terrifying attack!
At this moment, the elite Frost Steel Tiger, which had gained a hint of intelligence, had only one thought.
Did it deserve this?
That slash, it seemed as if it could even shatter the heavens!
Yet, it was used to cut down a level 20 little tiger like me?
"Bang!"
Without any surprise, sparks flew, smoke rose, and the Frost Steel Tiger's life was completely extinguished.
The Crystal Energy within transformed into a glow the size of a human fist and was absorbed into Xu Gu's body.
[Creation Points +500]
[Experience +500]
[Recharging completed, Firepower +200]
[Auto Level Upgraded! Current Level 3!]
[S-rank accessory Blue Fury Sky Slash upgraded! Current Level 3!]
[B-rank accessory...]
"Finally leveled up!" Xu Gu's eyes lit up, his heart filled with excitement.
[Linker: Xu Gu]
[Level: 3]
[Rank: SSS]
[Firepower: 2190+600]
[Defensive Power: 1770]
[Power: 1650]
[Number of loaded accessories: 8 (1 S-rank lv3, 2 B-rank lv3, 5 C-rank lv3.)]
"Firepower approaching 3000."
Xu Gu felt it, holding the Blue Fury Sky Slash in his hand as if a river was raging, flickering with lightning from time to time. His eyes sparkled, and his heart was filled with excitement.
Every time he leveled up, as an SSS-level Auto, each data point increased by a base value of 500. The other accessories followed suit. Within 10 levels, every level up doubled the initial bonus value of those accessories.
Then, Xu Gu sighed.
"Leveling up is so tough!"
Mowing down everything in his path, he even started killing level 20 Steel Beasts, yet he was only level 3?
Being SSS-level, combined with 8 accessories, leveling up was truly difficult!
It was like a big eater bringing eight burdens.
As for taking off the accessories? Impossible! What if danger arose? Better safe than sorry! The data bonus from the accessories wasn't insignificant.
Luckily, the stats were high enough, or Xu Gu would've quit long ago.
"It's these Steel Beasts that aren't up to par. Steel Beasts are just a bunch of cannon fodder tainted by the power of the Mechanical Abyss. They aren't strong and can cause trouble only for C-level and even B-level Autos. Naturally, they're just cannon fodder in front of me, the legendary SSS-level!"
Xu Gu knew in his heart, to quickly level up, he needed to venture deeper into the Mechanical Abyss, to hunt those true Mechanical Monsters, or even Boss-level Lords!
However, there was no rush; first, he'd take down all the beasts that could be slain around Xia City.
"Let's adjust the small goal! Let me reach level 5, that's all!"
Thinking of this, Xu Gu took a rest, opened the Creator Forum, and entered the Xia City Chatroom.
Once again, a wave of complaints greeted him.
Brimming with negative energy.
"How is leveling up so hard? I've killed so many level 1 Steel Mice already! Why hasn't my experience bar even budged?"
"I hoped to reach level 5 in a day!"
"Level 5 in one day? Are you dreaming? I heard reaching level 2 in a month is considered genius! Reaching level 3 in two months means you could get into a good Auto College."
"No way, is it that hard to level up?"
"You newbies, didn't your teachers tell you? Some low-level Autos find it hard to reach level five even in five years! Reach level 5 in a day? A crappy electric bike wouldn't reach level 5 in a hundred years. Because fools like you won't survive long in the wild."
Seeing these ignorant newcomers' howls, the veteran Auto Men couldn't stand it any longer.
"Reaching level 5 in a day, isn't this a cloud player?"
"The best record was ten years ago, an S-level who reached level 3 in a day and level 15 in two months! However, he didn't carry any accessories and had more than ten level 30 C-level bodyguards."
...
"It seems my progress isn't slow."
Seeing these comments, Xu Gu felt a bit better, prepared himself, and continued advancing.
[You killed...]
[You killed...]
[You killed...]
Messages appeared all along the way as he traveled.
Experience, points, and the firepower of the Blue Fury Sky Slash increased at an astonishing speed.
In the end, even Xu Gu felt that the Blue Fury Sky Slash in his hand was emitting an incredibly dangerous aura!
...
On the other side,
"Teacher Lin? Did you just hear a tiger roar?" The B-level female Auto, Tian Mei, shivered, swallowed, and said.
"Yes! So terrifying!" Lin Liu's face changed, and she said.
"I heard it too! My legs almost gave out!" Sun Mo also said.
As for the two new A-level Auto youths, although their faces were equally grim, they held it together and didn't show it.
After all, they were A-level and needed to maintain their status.
Lin Changfeng's eyes revealed uncertainty; truth be told, he was startled too.
"What's wrong with this big guy, going nuts in broad daylight? Once my attack accessory finishes upgrading, I'll definitely go in and take it down!"
Thinking this way, this elderly Auto Vice Principal's eyes rolled as he spoke:
"That was an Elite Monster, a Frost Steel Tiger, level 20. Not very strong. However, the area it inhabits is quite far from Xia City and is surrounded by many powerful Steel Beasts.
"And it's quite cunning and perceptive. If it encounters a dangerous opponent, it escapes early before a fight even starts, making it a nightmare for the small-to-medium Mercenary Groups in Xia City!"
"Hiss! Level 20? And an Elite Monster?" Everyone gasped in shock!
Even level 4 Steel Rabbit Monsters were troublesome for them!
Let alone a level 20 Elite Monster!
They estimated it would take years to be a match for that big tiger.
"Teacher, we've cleared the monsters here! Can we keep advancing?" Wang Lishuo shook his head, showing a hint of madness.
"What? Keep advancing? Isn't it the territory of Steel Hyenas up ahead? Those are level 5 pack Steel Beasts!"
Before Lin Changfeng could respond, Tian Mei and Sun Mo turned pale.
"Teacher, let's advance! The higher the Steel Beast level, the greater the rewards! With you overseeing, we should be fine as long as we lure out one Steel Hyena at a time."
Lin Liu pondered and then spoke. After all, she came from a major financial group in the Provincial City and had a bit of courage.
Lin Changfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright. If you reach level 8 in two months, you might get into a top-tier college, perhaps even Imperial Capital Academy or Magic City Academy!"
"Great!"
Hearing Lin Changfeng's agreement, everyone was thrilled. With the Vice Principal leading, there was no need to worry about safety!
"Xu Gu! Today I'm reaching level 2! After that, I'll always keep you underfoot!
"Tomorrow, you'll know what you missed out on!" Zhang Chao's mouth curved upwards. Things were like this.
A quick start means being ahead, and once his level goes up and he enters Imperial Capital Academy, he would receive focused training. Once he won over Lin Liu, with the support of the financial group behind her, he would buy powerful accessories, and by maintaining his level advantage, he could make up for the rank disparity!
He'd keep Xu Gu thoroughly underfoot!
Wang Lishuo felt the same at this moment.
However,
When they, full of passion and expectations, entered Evil Dog Ridge, they discovered parts and steel were strewn everywhere.
"What is this..."
"Are these the corpses of Steel Hyenas?"
"How could it be? All wiped out?"
"How is it possible! I just heard their howls!"
The few were stunned and found it hard to believe.
"Could a teacher-like powerhouse have intervened and cleared them out in annoyance?"
Wang Lishuo's eyes flickered as he inquired of Lin Changfeng.
"It could..." Lin Changfeng wanted to say it was possible, but seeing the massive footprints on the ground and the surrounding signs of destruction, he took a deep breath and exclaimed:
"These seem to be Xu Gu's doing."
"What?!"
A chorus of shock arose, and this statement was like a thunderbolt in their hearts, leaving them in disbelief.
What do you think?
