The first person to reach Level 10 was Teacher Chen.
Initially, perhaps because all the dirt bombs were made by him, Teacher Chen's experience had always been far ahead of everyone else.
Later on, the biggest goal for Teacher Chen and his group was to ensure everyone had equipment and could learn skills.
Every day, besides leading students to hunt wild beasts, in the evenings, when students habitually returned to their dorms to rest and sleep, the teachers would often team up to continue farming for equipment and skills.
When they were tired or sleepy, they would return to school and drink a mouthful of Revival Spring water.
And so, with their tireless efforts day and night, Teacher Chen finally reached Level 10 today.
He was surprised to find that after reaching Level 10, he felt completely transformed, as if reborn; his strength, spirit, and speed had all significantly improved.
Bare-handed, he could kill a wild wolf one-on-one, and with a weapon, he could, with full force, cut a piece of flesh from a wild boar.
His mana bar, which usually emptied after four skill activations, now allowed for 20 skill activations.
Finally, Teacher Chen summarized it in one sentence: he felt great now, like a Superman.
Just as the first person reached Level 10, a huge light curtain appeared above the Revival Spring, displaying only "1 / 1000."
Although the information on it was very simple, both teachers and students had the same thought: when 1000 people reached Level 10, this world might change again, and some students even fantasized about returning to their original world.
In fact, the teachers had made many attempts before.
One of them was led by Teacher Chen, who took a group of the most capable teachers to continuously explore outside the forest.
However, they walked for an entire day, eventually becoming exhausted and unable to move anymore.
Climbing a tree to look out, they still saw an endless forest.
Finally, they had no choice but to actively decide to die at the hands of wild beasts to resurrect and return to school.
At that time, the teachers were also very worried, always afraid of being stuck there forever, so this news had never been announced, fearing it would cause panic, until now, when hope seemed to reappear before their eyes.
Coupled with Teacher Chen and others announcing the changes after reaching Level 10, this sparked another round of fervent leveling up.
When Liang Mushui received this news, he also felt incredibly excited.
However, his main focus of concern was Between Wind and Rain, because he was sure that if he reached Level 10 and his physical fitness improved, he might be able to pass the trial of Between Wind and Rain.
So he called Monk and the other four, and they eagerly joined the leveling army.
Now, the strength of Liang Mushui and his group of five can be said to be among the top tier in the entire school.
They are equipped with wild wolf daggers, wild cat shoes, wild boar wooden shields, and Black Bear leather armor, and all five of them have learned all available skills.
This luxurious setup is something very few students in the entire school, apart from the teachers, can assemble.
Speaking of leveling, wild wolves are definitely the preferred target, which led to people flocking to areas where wild wolves appeared.
However, after many days of training, Liang Mushui's six senses had significantly improved.
Guided by his instincts, they quickly encountered their first wave of wolf packs.
At this point, Liang Mushui and his group had long shed their initial inexperience.
As the wolf pack approached, all five of them skillfully unleashed a wave of Wind Blade at the wolves.
Immediately after, they quickly and proactively ran towards the pack, each finding a target, and two consecutive Savage Charge attacks scattered the entire wolf pack.
The last opportunity to use a skill was left to their individual improvisation; if any wild wolves remained, Liang Mushui and his group would engage them in individual combat.
For this reason, Liang Mushui and his group often deliberately left one alive to create one-on-one training opportunities, where one of them would duel the wild wolf while the other four observed, intervening immediately if the dueler fell into a disadvantage.
After so many days of effort, Mi Feng, who has the strongest strength, can even simultaneously contend with two wild wolves without falling behind.
Soon, Liang Mushui and his group dealt with all the wild wolves.
With Liang Mushui as their human reconnaissance drone, they didn't need to leave any alive as bait; what they needed more was to recover their status as quickly as possible.
Now, when they are at full strength and encounter a wolf pack of 20 or fewer, as long as they cooperate well and exert a little effort, they can easily eliminate them all.
Only when the number of wild wolves reaches 25 or more do they encounter significant trouble, or even casualties.
However, according to the teachers' statistics, the number of wolves in a pack is usually around 20; encountering 25 or more might not happen even once in a day or two.
The most the teachers encountered was 30, and that was only once in all these days.
So Liang Mushui and his group weren't too worried; as long as they weren't too unlucky, they could continue grinding like this.
After five days of effort, Liang Mushui and the other four finally reached Level 9.
“Leveling gets harder the further you go.
We've been fighting monsters day and night, and we're only at Level 9 now.
I really don't know how Teacher Chen and his group leveled up to Level 10 so quickly,” the Professor complained on the way back to school.
“Stop complaining.
We're already Level 9.
If we work a little harder, we'll soon be like Teacher Chen and become Supermen.”
At this moment, Mi Feng recalled a sparring session he had with Teacher Chen after he reached Level 10.
Even using his skills, he was no match for Teacher Chen, and he was filled with anticipation for Level 10.
When Liang Mushui and his group of five returned to school, they found another blackboard next to the Revival Spring.
The content the teachers announced on the blackboard was always closely related to them, so they didn't even drink the spring water and immediately rushed to the new blackboard.
It turned out that as more and more teachers reached Level 10 in the past few days, the teachers conducted a survey and statistics.
First, they found that not everyone's boost after reaching Level 10 was the same.
The most intuitive manifestation was that some teachers, who used the Savage Charge skill more often, did not have their mana bar increase enough after Level 10 to allow them to use the skill 20 times like Teacher Chen, only 12 times, and the damage caused by their Wind Blade skill was also not as high as Teacher Chen's.
Conversely, the damage from their Savage Charge, a physical damage skill, was significantly higher than Teacher Chen's.
There was also a teacher who had hunted wild cats for a long time, and basically, he was covered in scars all day long.
After reaching Level 10, when he was scratched by a wild cat again, he noticed that the wound healed at a visible rate.
There were also some female teachers who usually followed behind the team, their main job being to finish off enemies and clean up the battlefield, basically not having to fight too hard.
After they reached Level 10, their overall attributes were much lower than those of the male teachers who fought hard.
So the conclusion drawn is that the improvement after reaching Level 10 is closely related to your behavior pattern before Level 10; it is a fusion and sublimation of your efforts before Level 10.
If students have specific areas they wish to improve, they can also engage in targeted training.
Then, the second point is that there is a limit to the improvement after Level 10.
According to statistics, one teacher who had accumulated the most Wind Blade skill usage had his mana bar after Level 10 only able to support him for 20 skill uses, while another teacher who had accumulated less Wind Blade skill usage also had his mana bar able to support 20 skill uses.
We boldly speculate that as long as a skill is used, it will have a positive effect on the growth of the mana bar, and once the improvement reaches a certain limit, it will no longer increase.
Therefore, we suggest that if students have the ability, they should try to use both Wind Blade and Savage Charge skills more often, and not think about suppressing their level to achieve unlimited improvement.
After reading the information on the blackboard, Liang Mushui and his group couldn't help but exclaim again, “The teachers are truly amazing!”
If they were to understand this information in terms of a game, it would be the classification of professions.
Among their group of five, Mi Feng and Monk were warriors who frequently used Savage Charge, while the other three were mages.
This information is very useful for those with relatively low levels, as it can clarify the path they will take in the future.
However, for Liang Mushui and his group, it no longer had much effect.
Liang Mushui looked at the light curtain above the Revival Spring: 73 / 1000.
Now, the teachers are also sparing no effort to help students level up, especially some delicate and timid girls.
Teachers usually give them some extra Wind Blade skills and take them to fight monsters, letting them deliver the final blow to gain experience.
The teachers now also have a very high reputation among the students; basically, everyone is willing to follow the teachers' arrangements.
Liang Mushui and his group also usually hand over all their excess equipment and skills to the teachers for arrangement, and everything seems to be developing in a good direction.
After another three days, with the fall of the last wild wolf, Liang Mushui and his group of five simultaneously reached Level 10.
At the moment of leveling up, all the cells in their bodies seemed to be cheering with joy, and an unprecedented sense of pleasure surged through their brains.
This feeling came quickly and left even faster, lasting only for a second.
After a series of tests, Xiao Luo, Liang Mushui, and the Professor's mana bars all reached their limit, allowing them to activate skills 20 times.
Monk and Mi Feng, after three days of intense training, also had enough mana to activate skills 18 times.
However, both of them also felt the power within them, like a volcano ready to erupt, even having the illusion that they could single-handedly take on a Black Bear.
Just as they were discussing their respective improvements, Liang Mushui was also quietly experiencing the changes in his body.
He immediately told Mi Feng that he wanted to spar.
The final result was that as long as he concentrated, Mi Feng's attacks appeared like slow motion before him, and Liang Mushui could easily dodge them.
Later, the Professor and Xiao Luo also joined in one by one to attack Liang Mushui, and it wasn't until all four of them surrounded and attacked him that he finally started to take damage.
This result utterly astonished Mi Feng and the others; they had always known Liang Mushui was strong, but they hadn't expected this improvement to widen the gap between Liang Mushui and them so significantly.
What surprised Liang Mushui the most about this improvement was that his talent also improved; that door felt as if it had already opened halfway, which greatly increased his confidence in challenging Between Wind and Rain.
