Dream Seeker is level 30.
Heavenly Blade is level 31
Right now, aside from Li Yi being at level 33, no one else had yet to surpass him.
Four out of the five top five players in the ranking board are level 31.
Although the gap is only by one level, in a duel, there will still be a large difference.
The advantage of this one level may not be obvious in the hands of ordinary players. However, in the hands of an expert player, it can determine the outcome of the game.
For example, the opponent is able to deal two more point damage than the lower level player. It may seem small, however, accumulated attacks would snowball quicker than the lower level players attack.
This means that when facing the same monster, the opponent will deal with it earlier than the lower level player.
Once it becomes a critical hit, this gap of attack will widen.
