Although he was a little unwilling to bear that he had gone through a lot of trouble, it had to be said that things were starting to go beyond his imagination.
One had to know.
The level of a skill depended on the level of the character.
For example, the [Stellar Slash] that could be mastered at Level 1.
Only when the character reached Level 10 could they upgrade it to Level 10.
But now…
Lu Qingge's [Stellar Slash] had already reached Level 3.
Moreover, there was obviously room for further improvement.
"Continue leveling up and see what happens next…"
Lu Qingge made up his mind.
Firstly, [Stellar Slash] was his only skill now.
Secondly, [Stellar Slash] was very cheap. It only cost 100 EXP.
Thus, Lu Qingge kept going.
[ Ding! Stellar Slash has been upgraded to Lv4!（0/100）]
[ Ding! Stellar Slash had been upgraded to Lv5!（0/100）]
..
[ Ding! Stellar Slash had been upgraded to Lv10!（0/1000）]
In one go, Lu Qingge spent all his experience points.
He upgraded [Stellar Slash] to Lv10.
Then, he realized that LV10 seemed to be the watershed of the Stellar Slash.
At this point, the experience points required to continue the upgrade suddenly became 1000 points.
[ Ding!]
[ You have gained enlightenment: Stellar Slash!
[ You can upgrade Stellar Slash to: Thundering Stellar Slash!]
[ Level Up Experience Points: 3000!]
..
The notification that popped up suddenly caught Lu Qingge's attention.
"Enlightenment?"
"Advance?"
"Hiss…?"
Lu Qingge gasped.
No wonder the next level up required so much experience.
It turned out that his skill panel was not as simple as he had imagined.
After a normal player's skill was upgraded, things would change.
It was almost only the size of the damage, the range of the skill, the speed of casting...
Such numbers... strictly speaking, such an increase could only be considered a quantitative change.
However, his skill…
After leveling up to a certain level, there was actually a qualitative change in the skill mechanism!
This was incredible.
No matter how hard a stone was polished, it was still a stone.
However, if it was enlightened by an immortal, it could directly turn into gold.
The difference was huge.
"So, what kind of skill is [Thundering Stellar Slash]?"
Lu Qingge searched through the skill panel for a long time but could not find any relevant explanation.
Then there was no other way.
If that was the case, he could only wait until the skill advanced before testing it out himself.
'Looks like I still have to endure for a while,' Lu Qingge thought.
After all, if he wanted to advance, he would need 3000 experience points.
At this stage, this was not a small sum.
Generally speaking, if the players of the Sacred Soul wanted to level up their skills, they would have to level up themselves.
There were only three common methods.
The first method was to kill monsters in the wild.
This was what people often called "jungling".
For example.
The jungle that Lu Qingge could currently reach was the Gran Forest outside of Gran Town.
However, the meaning of [jungle] was not the literal meaning of the wilderness.
For example, in Sacred Soul.
There was a rather famous map called [City of Chaos].
Although it was a city environment, it was still a [wild area] according to the system's positioning.
Therefore, the true way to understand the jungle... It should be an area where there are wild monsters and you can fight them.
Jungling was the most common way to gain experience and level up.
The second method was to raid dungeons.
Compared to jungling, the experience points gained from dungeons were generally higher.
But naturally, the difficulty of clearing the dungeon would be higher.
Dungeons were divided into instance dungeons and group dungeons.
Instance Dungeons were usually fought in small teams of four to five people.
Group dungeons could be roughly understood as "relatively large dungeons".
It usually consisted of four to five small teams, forming a large team to fight together.
However, for Lu Qingge, there was still a long way to go before he could reach the current level.
This was because the difficulty of the dungeon was very high.
Basically, those who challenged the group dungeon were already high-level players in the game.
It was equivalent to the people who lived at the top of the pyramid in his previous life.
Let alone a group dungeon, even if it was an instance dungeon...
So far, Lu Qingge had only cleared [Novice Instruction].
However, although clearing dungeons was a good way to gain experience points, it was not a stable and controllable method.
This was because instance dungeons could not be found anywhere.
The location and time it spawned were all random.
Lu Qingge wasn't too sure about other places.
However, in his memory, he had been struggling in the year of [Novice Teaching].
It seemed that there had never been a relatively large instance dungeon near Gran Town.
After all, under normal circumstances, no matter which town or village, as long as a new large-scale dungeon was refreshed, it would immediately attract a large group of players from the surrounding area.
Lu Qingge had heard this before.
Half a year ago, there was a [Novice Village] that not many players had heard of, just like Gran Town.
An Abyss-level dungeon was refreshed.
In the end, in just a few days, all the players in the Sacred Soul Continent knew about the existence of this village.
That feeling...
It really felt like Bengbu and Cao County in his previous life. Overnight, it became popular all over the country…
As for the third option, it was to complete the mission issued by the system.
As a game with a high degree of freedom, there was something special about Sacred Soul.
There was no [Main Mission] setting.
Similarly, there were no NPCs in this world.
It was said that the original intention of the development of Sacred Soul was to create a new world.
It was to provide players with a "brand new, completely unknown game world."
Therefore, whenever the game updated with new content, new missions and activities were released.
The system refreshed [Activity Points], [Mission Points], and [Event Points] in fixed or random places. To push the game forward.
As for the social structure, culture, economy, and rules in the game… the players would create them themselves.
Although it sounded unbelievable, this was also the reason why the Sacred Soul was known as the Light of the Universe.
So...
Other than jungling, the other two methods of gaining experience points were unstable.
At least, that was the case for the current Lu Qingge.
"Great!"
Seeing this scene, Lu Qingge's eyes flickered slightly.
A sense of joy immediately surged in his heart.
It was simply amazing...
He could happily continue to farm monsters and gain experience points again!
This happiness, wouldn't it come back?
"Gran Forest..."
"I'm coming."
Lu Qingge clenched his fists, his fighting spirit soaring.
