It can be seen that even an F Grade hero like Gu Shao Shang requires 100 experience points to level up again after reaching level 4.
This basically reaches the standard of Blue Star Humans at level 1.
Of course!
And this standard, among heroes, is the C-rank standard.
However, a C-rank hero gains +4 to all attributes per level, which is far beyond what Gu Shao Shang, an F Grade hero, gets with +1 to all attributes. That's a four-fold difference!
Not to mention the B-rank and even A-rank heroes above that.
The gap is even larger.
Blue Star Humans, in their initial state, are equivalent to the growth standard of C-rank heroes.
That is, +4 to all attributes per level!
So, as long as Lin Youyu reaches level 3, she can surpass Gu Shao Shang in terms of attributes alone.
But it will take her a total of 300 experience points to reach level 3.
Gu Shao Shang only needed a total of 90 experience points to go from level 1 to his current level 4.
The difference is not small.
......
Gu Shao Shang and the others came out of the Safe Zone around 6:30 in the morning.
From 6:30, until close to 11:00 AM.
In three and a half hours, Gu Shao Shang had already led Lin Youyu to an area at least 5 kilometers away from the Safe Zone.
Most of the time on the way was spent traveling and searching for monsters.
The actual time spent killing monsters was relatively less.
Even so;
Gu Shao Shang had already accumulated the 100 experience points needed to go from level 4 to 5, not only successfully reaching level 5, but also having accumulated more than half of the experience points for level 5!

【Nameless Swordsman】
【Qualification: F Grade】
【Level: 5】
【Experience: 120 / 200】
【......】
—
After reaching level 5, he gained another 100 experience points.
But now, killing Giant Rabbits only gives 1 experience point.
So Gu Shao Shang basically doesn't actively kill those Giant Rabbits anymore; it's too much effort for little reward.
As for Prairie Wolves, they still give 3 experience points.
When encountering four or five together.
Killing them all can still yield over ten experience points.
Moreover;
The further away from the Safe Zone, the denser the distribution of Prairie Wolves.
There were even situations where ten or so Prairie Wolves gathered together.
Fortunately, Gu Shao Shang's strength was also much greater than before; the attribute increase from leveling up was secondary, the main thing was the improvement of his talent ability.
—
【Talent Ability: Blood Drain】
【Blood Drain (B): Whenever an attack deals effective damage, it restores 5% of your maximum health!】
—
After the Blood Drain talent reached B-rank, Gu Shao Shang could recover 4.5 health points with every sword strike.
According to his current attack frequency of 1.1 times per second, he could recover 49.5 health points in 10 seconds, which is already more than half of his maximum health!
And the attack of a Prairie Wolf only deals 2 or 3 points of damage to Gu Shao Shang.
Even if he faced ten Prairie Wolves at once, they couldn't all attack Gu Shao Shang at the same time. The actual situation was that Gu Shao Shang would endure about 5 points of damage per second.
This damage is basically not much different from his Blood Drain efficiency.
Just killing one of the Prairie Wolves can bring the two to the same level!
Therefore;
Gu Shao Shang now basically charges straight in when he sees Prairie Wolves.
He doesn't need to sneak around and ambush them like he did yesterday.
......
"Gu Dage, I found big bad wolves ahead!"
Gu Shao Shang had just finished off a pack of six Prairie Wolves gathered together, gaining another 18 experience points. Before he could even shake the wolf blood off his Black Sheath Longsword, he saw Lin Youyu running over excitedly, pointing towards a small hill on the left.
"Okay, I'll go over now. You clean up here."
Gu Shao Shang nodded, then immediately ran towards the direction Lin Youyu pointed.
Lin Youyu stayed behind to clean up the battlefield and collect the bodies of these Prairie Wolves.
By the way, the 'big bad wolves' Lin Youyu mentioned are Prairie Wolves, she just likes to call them that.
After crossing the small hill;
Gu Shao Shang indeed saw the pack of Prairie Wolves Lin Youyu mentioned.
There were a total of 8 Prairie Wolves lying on a patch of grass, and some rabbit fur and Giant Rabbit bones could be seen around them.
"Eight of them, that's 24 experience points!"
Gu Shao Shang's eyes lit up.
Actually, with his current strength, if it weren't for the time spent searching for monsters, he might have already reached level 6 or even 7 by now.
That's why Gu Shao Shang was so happy to see a pack of 8 Prairie Wolves gathered together.
Leveling up one more time would allow his Blood Drain talent to upgrade to A-rank.
An A-rank talent is something only A-rank heroes possess.
While Gu Shao Shang is just an F Grade hero!
Even if this doesn't bring his strength up to the same standard as other A-rank heroes.
It can at least narrow the gap a little.
Swish~!
Gu Shao Shang directly leaped down from the hill at this moment, then rapidly charged towards the wolf pack.
At level 5, Gu Shao Shang's fastest movement speed had reached 6 meters per second.
And the distance of over a hundred meters between them was covered by Gu Shao Shang in only about 20 seconds.
At this time;
The wolf pack, which had been resting, also stood up one after another.
They bared their teeth and showed a ferocious appearance.
They let out warning growls at Gu Shao Shang who was charging towards them.
But Gu Shao Shang completely ignored the warning of this group of Prairie Wolves, charging straight forward and directly using a lightning-fast Two-Stage Slash to heavily wound the leading Prairie Wolf!
Seeing that this human had injured their companion, the other 7 Prairie Wolves roared and pounced.
Gu Shao Shang was too lazy to even dodge.
The damage from seven Prairie Wolves wasn't as high as what he recovered from Blood Drain.
He only needed to avoid vital spots like the neck, face, and groin.
He directly blocked other attacks with his arms.
The arm muscles that had just been torn open the previous second were instantly healed as Gu Shao Shang used a sword strike to drain back the lost health points the next second.
The wounds magically healed as if new!
One minute later;
The battle was over!
Eight bodies of Prairie Wolves lay scattered on the ground.
And other than his clothes being stained with a lot of wolf blood, Gu Shao Shang himself didn't look injured at all.
The white swordsman's robe he had been wearing from the beginning was also magical.
Every time it was torn, the damaged areas would quickly repair themselves to their original state as time passed.
So even though these clothes didn't have any attribute-boosting effects.
Gu Shao Shang still liked them very much.
Otherwise;
During combat, Gu Shao Shang would have to be careful to protect his clothes from being damaged, otherwise after a few battles, his clothes would turn into beggar's rags.
How could he wear them then?
