On their way out Victor saw a fancy car stop and Chang Heng got out followed by some girls.
He held his head high, like just his presence being here was a blessing to this place.
Following right behind him was a Party full of geared people, most likely his way of leveling up.
Victor shook his head as if Chang Heng did even leveled up quickly he won't have much chance of getting into a top Academy, as the Academ research this.
And his lack of skill and ability will be easily seen by any half decent fighter.
No longer paying any attention to Chang Heng they left the City and went back to the Slime Territory.
Not far away Chang Heng's face sneered when he saw Victor and Michael, thinking himself superior.
"Ok before we get started, let's first check our stats then we'll just do the strategy and set a goal for today." Victor spoke as he called out his Skeletons.
"Oh yeah we leveled up, how could I have forgotten." Michael tapped his forehead only now remembering that he leveled up.

Victor nodded his head at his growth so far before checking Michael's and he immediately became a little jealous.
[Name: Michael Knight]
[Title: None ]
[Class: Necromancer Knight (Special Class/Legendary)]
[Level: 3 (0.02%)]
[Attributes:]

And even though he knew he wouldn't get any benefits from Protector Pact till later he still found it unfair.
"Don't even say it, let's just get started." Victor knew exactly what Michael was about to say without even seeing the stupid checky smile he had across his punchable face.
"Yes Boss" Michael spoke with a checky voice especially when he said the word boss before following.
Quickly finding a poor lonely Slime enjoying it's day, Michael went forward to kill it only for the poor Slime to be instantly killed by Victor taking his frustrations out on the little guy.
[ Slime (Lvl 4) Killed + 30 XP ]
Michael stared at the dead Slime in a daze before being woken up by Victor.
"What are standing there in daze for, I want to reach level 5 before the day ends." Victor walked away in a better mood.
"C-coming" Michael grabbed the drops before catching up.
From there they both went through killing slimes but this time Victor only used one Skeleton to kite as the rest brought more and more over.
Allowing there to be more Slimes the either of them could kill, making it extremely easy for they to accumulate experience and loot.
In fact it was too effective as if it wasn't for the Skeletons having infinite stamina then it would have been impossible as Victor and Michael had to stop multiple times to rest or replenish their mana.
And not far away the Fire Bird watching was shocked as it had never seen this strategy before let alone on this large of a scale.
"They will definitely make it too level 5 no maybe six by the end of the day!"
"What strategy is this Vic?" Michael asked thinking it was secret knowledge and Victor had found it in his research.
"Oh, this it's called Kite Group Grinding." Victor answered like everyone knew it, only realising that was from his other life memories so he continued.
"It's something I came up with last night." Victor scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"It's amazing, you really are a genius Vic." Michael said in amazement.
"Yeah" Victor got back up and went back to killing Slimes not wanting to embarrassed anymore.
After clearing this whole area they moved to the next, because the Skeletons could see Life Force no living creature could hide from them allowing the Skeletons to find wherever the Slimes were.
So after leaving some monster they left to the next area to repeat before moving again on to the next area.
"This time use Death Fortitude and get hit to level it up, and leave any of the weak non Slimes alone so I can try to level up my Skeletons." Victor thought about strengthen their skills and not only leveling up.
"You got it boss." Michael nodded before using Death Fortitude and getting hit by a Slime before killing it with Death Slash then moving to the next.
Victor on the other hand killed Slimes with Undeath Flame while controlling a single Skeleton to kill any weaker monsters.
And even though it has a hard time but because of it's ability to survive it would come out on top each time.
After their two skills level up they improved quite a bit allowing Victor and Michael to have an easier time.
Victor stopped and watched the Skeletons while he rested, watching the way they moved, walk, run and fight.
It wasn't long before he entered a trance like state as he seemed to have understood something but at the same time didn't.
[ Skill Leveled Up ]
If anyone watched as Victor opened his eyes they would have felt cold up their spine as Victor's eyes had changed for a brief moment from Black to a glowing cold light blue.
As he's eyes went back to normal he came back to himself, Victor had a vague idea of what Undeath was but he couldn't explain it or understand it fully.
Looking up he saw the single fighting Skeleton seemed to have become stronger and faster killing a rat quicker than before.
Skills shown on your status are not as set as you would think as the status screen is only a representation of you and not the law.
As there are times were a person can explode with more strength then they should have.
Infact the best way to level up your skills is either repeated use early on or deepening your understanding, as magic and skills get more and more complicated or powerful then the only way to advance them is through studying and understanding.
That's why everyone wants to get into a powerful Academy or University as they hold a huge amount of knowledge, resources and powerful teachers.
Allowing you to grow quickly with a stable foundation and learn knowledge you wouldn't have had access too.
So the best way for both Victor and Michael to either learn new skills or to strengthen them is by understanding Death and Undeath.
Checking the Skeletons new stats Victor was a little disappointed as it didn't get any new abilities and it only grew by a small amount but it was better than nothing.
| Summon Skeleton (Level 2) 5/10: Summon a weak skeleton (Ungraded) to do your bidding, after being summoned the skeleton can be stored and resummoned for free. Their strength is affected by the summoners intelligent/skill level and the max stored amount by the level of the skill |
[Weak Skeleton - Lvl 2]
Attributes:]
| Constitution - 4 |
| Strength - 2 |
| Agility - 2 |
| Intelligence - |
| Spirit - 1 |
[Skills: Undead Creature (Max), Blessing of Undeath (Max), Bone Undead (Max) ]
Seeing that they Finished this area Victor called out to Michael.
"This areas done, come on let's move." Michael turned back after finishing the last slime and coming over.
"Ah nuts, and we're so close to Level 4." Michael complained that there wasn't enough Slimes in this area.
Victor hearing this checked their XP amount.
[Level: 3 (99.7%)]
"Huh, we are.. then let's hurry up, oh and this time we're going deeper." Victor got up and walked away heading deeper into the Slimes Territory .
"Oh yes more victims.. Cough, friends." Michael smiled following as he leaned his head back with his arms and shield behind his head.
