Starting with 10,000 times the experience, and you're calling me a terrible player?

The outer perimeter of Black Edge Camp is a buffer zone for level 1-5 monsters.

The atmosphere was extremely tense at the edge of the putrid swamp.

Zhao Tai stared intently at the level 3 demonized wasteland wolf that was panting heavily five meters ahead.

The bandage on his forehead was soaked with sweat, and his fingers gripping the sword were slightly white from excessive force.

"Wang Meng, push forward! Don't let it pounce!"

Zhao Tai gritted his teeth and growled, quickly taking half a step back.

"Li Yuan, cast a shield on me! Chen Cong, prepare a fireball to block its movement!"

This was their team's third battle since entering the buffer zone, and also the most dangerous one.

A level 3 demonized wasteland wolf.

Before this, they managed to whittle down two level 1 carrion rats by sticking together as a group of five.

But when faced with this extremely agile and incredibly powerful steppe wolf, the entire team was almost scattered.

"roar!"

The wasteland wolf suddenly exerted force with its hind legs, rushing towards the shield guard Wang Meng at the forefront with a foul stench.

Wang Meng's face was deathly pale. He held the iron shield halfway up his body with both hands and dug two deep furrows in the mud with his feet.

"Wang Meng, hold on! We can't give up! For our future!!!"

"Bang!"

A dull thud resounded.

Wang Meng groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and a red number "-22" appeared above his head.

His health bar dropped by almost half in an instant, and his shield was severely deformed from the impact.

"It's frozen! Chen Cong, release it!"

Zhao Tai's eyes lit up as he seized this fleeting opportunity.

A fireball the size of a human head slammed into the back of the Steppenwolf.

"boom!"

The flames exploded, the Steppenwolf let out a painful howl, a large patch of its fur was singed, and its movements became noticeably halted.

It's now!

The magic of the rare class [Thunder Swordsman] is circulating wildly in its meridians.

A blinding blue arc of electricity crackled across the fine-grade longsword.

Zhao Tai roared loudly!

"So what if it's a level 3 monster?!"

"We're not pushovers!!"

"Taste the strike that combines all our strength!"

"Thunder Strike!!!"

He exerted force with both legs, and his whole body shot out like an arrow.

The longsword precisely followed the wound that the fireball had opened up in the wasteland wolf and plunged it deep into its back!

"Sizzle—"

Sparks flew everywhere. The smell of burning flesh mixed with the stench of blood rose into the air.

"-45!" (Weakness critical hit)

The Steppenwolf's massive body convulsed violently a few times, the crimson in its eyes gradually faded, and finally it collapsed to the ground with a thud, turning into specks of light and disappearing.

A tattered wolf pelt was left on the ground.

"We did it!!"

The five people were overjoyed!

They then gasped for breath, completely exhausted, and collapsed to the ground.

A faint white light flashed across the group, and the team's experience bar jumped up slightly.

"Captain... I did it..."

Shield Guard King threw away his scrap metal shield, clenched his fists, and his voice trembled.

"So close, so very close, my defenses were breached."

"Great job! Well done!"

"As long as we are united, nothing is invincible!"

Zhao Tai stood up, leaning on his longsword, and gently patted his shoulder to encourage him.

He quickly opened his attribute panel, looked at the obvious increase in the experience bar, and burst into laughter.

"As expected of a level 3 monster! Killing one two levels above me gave me a huge experience boost! My experience bar is already at 12%!"

Upon hearing this, the four team members who were lying on the ground also showed joy.

"Tai-ge is awesome! The timing of that sword strike was perfect!"

The monk Chen Cong quickly stepped forward, giving a thumbs-up and showering him with flattery.

"If it weren't for Brother Tai's final thunderous thrust, we would all be dead here today."

"That's right!"

Pastor Li Yuan echoed her sentiments, her eyes filled with emotion and pride.

"We're killing monsters much stronger than ourselves! Among the thousands of new students in the entire Twilight City, how many teams dare to directly confront a level 3 monster?"

Zhao Tai was flattered and flattered. He straightened his slightly disheveled hair and smiled modestly.

"This is all thanks to everyone. As long as we are united, there is nothing we cannot overcome!!"

"Hahaha! The captain is right!"

All five of them burst into laughter at the same time!

That laughter was filled with pride and joy!

Zhao Tai suddenly stopped.

"If we keep going at this pace, I can reach level 2 tonight!"

He gripped his longsword tightly, his gaze fixed intently ahead.

"This siege will last a week. Before it ends, we'll definitely reach level 3! We might even be able to touch the threshold of level 4!"

"Level 3?!"

Wang Meng gasped, his face filled with shock.

"Brother Tai, the highest level you've ever reached during the Siege of Twilight City is just over level 3, right?"

"If we can reach Level 3, we'll definitely rank in the top 100 in the city and qualify for the Tianfu University entrance exam!"

"Is that even a question? With Brother Tai around, anything is possible!"

Hearing his teammates' praise, Zhao Tai's gloom vanished.

The humiliation of being unable to retaliate against Lin Mo's insults this morning seemed to be washed away at this moment.

He snorted and kicked the materials on the ground into his backpack.

"That Su Xiaoli is indeed a monster, a mythical-level professional, I admit defeat. But so what?"

"That brat Lin Mo is destined to be trampled under my feet!"

Zhao Tai licked his dry lips, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes.

"I want to see how many days that good-for-nothing who has awakened to be a blank warrior can survive in the wilderness without a woman as his protector."

Chen Cong immediately replied:

"Brother Tai, why are you bringing up that good-for-nothing? It's bad luck!"

"He's a basic warrior, and his talent is that ridiculous 10-point damage block."

"I bet he's hiding in some tree hollow right now, trembling with fear, clutching that crappy iron sword the camp gave him!"

"Exactly!" Li Yuan chuckled, covering her mouth, her tone full of disdain. "Just now, when we were dealing with that level 3 wasteland wolf, even Wang Meng, with his shield, was in grave danger. If Lin Mo had encountered it, he probably would have been bitten in two in one bite, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Everyone smiled knowingly.

Denigrating former geniuses gives them an indescribable sense of superiority and satisfaction.

Zhao Tai touched the scar on his forehead that was still throbbing, his eyes cold.

"No rush. Once we've both become Level 3 experts, I'll crush all his pride into the ground!"

"Let him know that he's not as good as any of us!"

……

the other side.

"What?!?!"

Qin Lan's clear voice echoed across the wilderness in front of Lin Mo.

"Reaching level 30 on the first day wasn't enough! You want to undergo a first job advancement now???"

Her face was shocked and contorted.

I was completely stunned.

"Hey, feed me... Don't joke like that."

"It's boring...it's really not interesting at all!"

She took several steps back, her finger pointing at Lin Mo trembling uncontrollably.

Stop right there!

Please don't do such inhuman things!

If you do anything this outrageous again, I'm calling the police!
