Seeing that the required passive only increased from 2000 to 3000, Ling Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.
According to the system's previous statement, before upgrading to LV16, each level increase would require an additional 1000 passive abilities!
However, upgrading from LV15 to LV16 would require 10000!
Each subsequent upgrade would add 10000 passive abilities!
That is, upgrading from LV19 to LV20 would only require 50000 passive abilities.
Although it's a lot, it's only 50 times more than upgrading from LV10 to LV11!
But if it were to follow the previous doubling accumulation, upgrading from LV19 to LV20 would require at least a full 1,000,000 passive abilities!
That would be a full one thousand times increase. If it continued, upgrading to LV30 would require a full one billion passive abilities!
Ling Yan didn't know how many monsters he would have to kill to gather so many passive abilities.
Fortunately, now that the growth rate has decreased, Ling Yan's leveling speed will also increase significantly.
Of course, according to the current leveling method, Ling Yan didn't know if the standard would remain the same after LV20.
But Ling Yan knew that a passive level of LV20 corresponded to an SSS-Class profession. Even an SSS-Class of this level was a top-tier Super genius in the entire human race.
And even though he would need a total of 100,000 passive abilities to reach LV20!
But are 100,000 passive abilities a lot? He only killed Fire Rabbits for four hours and gained over 3000 passive abilities!
So he would only need six or seven days at most to reach SSS-Class!
If this speed of reaching SSS-Class in six or seven days were to spread, it would scare countless people, right?
Moreover, once he reached Apocalypse Continent, he could completely find Flame Mage passive abilities that were at least LV3 or even LV4.
At that time, not only would his level increase rapidly, but the speed of passive ability upgrades would also increase.
"Let's continue, strive to reach LV16!"
Ling Yan took a deep breath.
Next, it was still a time of slaughter.
A large number of Fire Rabbits once again met a tragic end at his hands.
During this period, Ling Yan also encountered many students from the First Middle School.
However, Ling Yan ignored them and didn't hide, instead controlling his flames so as not to harm them.
After all, he borrowed the Newbie Village from their school, so it would be too much to kill their people!
However, although Ling Yan ignored them, others couldn't do the same.
The sudden appearance and sudden departure of the large fireball directly ignited the entire First Middle School forum.
...
"Holy crap, a huge fireball just passed by me! All the Fire Rabbits on the road were burned to ashes!"
"You encountered it too? It scared me to death, that fireball directly swallowed me, but I don't know why it didn't hurt me!"
"Did you all encounter it? Could it be the Fire Rabbit leader appearing?"
"Impossible, why would the Fire Rabbit leader kill his own subordinates, and why wouldn't he harm us?"
"I heard that the same thing happened in several other Fire Rabbit Forest areas. Now those Fire Rabbit Forests can barely find any Fire Rabbits, they've all been burned to death!"
"Hiss! What exactly is going on?"
"I heard that Seven Middle School seems to have produced a formidable person who awakened four professions, one of which is Flame Mage, with Fire Mastery that even Fire Swordsmen possess!
He was the one who summoned the Four Ultimate BOSS!
Could it be that he came to our school's Newbie Village?"
"No way? What would he come here for? It shouldn't be him, right?"
"Could it be that he wants to make a move on the Four Ultimate BOSS? According to his talent, he can at least obtain a purple set and blue skills. As long as he's careful, it's really possible to kill the Ultimate BOSS!"
...
Countless posts frantically reposted and discussed the matter of the large fireball.
There were even some photos, but the fireball's flames were too terrifying to see if there was anyone inside.
And a small portion began to speculate from these clues whether Ling Yan had come to their school, after all, only Ling Yan in the entire Hai Bei City possessed such powerful strength.
Of course, Ling Yan naturally didn't know any of this.
He was still darting around the forest, happily harvesting the lives of Fire Rabbits.
And as he harvested, Ling Yan's experience points were not completely stagnant.
Although Fire Rabbit Forest didn't have a King-level BOSS, it did have a leader-level BOSS!
And Ling Yan encountered more than one.
...
Wild Monster: Fire Rabbit Leader
Level: LV10
Talent Passive:
[Fire Mastery LV3] (Fire spell power increased by 300%)
Health: 150,000 / 150,000
Mana: 3000 / 3000
Attack: 800
Speed: 100
Defense: 1000
Skill: Explosive Fireball (Blue Skill: Deals 200% damage! And applies 30% burning damage per second, lasting 10 seconds! Cost: 300)
...
A full 100,000 health, which could be said to be extremely good.
Unfortunately, he encountered Ling Yan. Ling Yan didn't waste words and directly used King's Blood Rage, doubling all his attributes.
Then, the purple skill, Deep Sea Heavy Water! 500% water damage, plus 900% water affinity, and the Fire Rabbit Hunter's 50% strength bonus!
-165000!
A terrifying scarlet number appeared above the Fire Rabbit Elite's head, and the terrifying Deep Sea Heavy Water instantly crushed the Fire Rabbit Elite into a puddle of blood.
This was just a normal attack, not even triggering a critical hit!
It could be seen to what terrifying extent Ling Yan's strength was boosted with the King's Blood Rage.
Of course, this time Ling Yan used two purple skills. Even SS_ level Super geniuses are only rewarded with one!
Moreover, a purple skill like King's Blood Rage, which can boost all attributes, is worth more than a hundred times that of ordinary purple skills.
Because it can be applied to other skills.
Such skills are rare and highly sought after. If one were to drop, no one would sell it.
Therefore, unless one's talent level reached SSS-Class, such amplification skills were out of the question.
"But then again, I used two purple skills, plus a 9-level advantage over this Fire Rabbit, to instantly kill him. How can the gap between wild monsters and players be so terrifying!"
Ling Yan couldn't help but exclaim.
With a nine-level difference, the gap in strength was not small.
[Ding... You have killed a LV10 Fire Rabbit Leader, gaining experience: 400,000!
