EBE Chapter 13 Fierce Battle Against the Gray Wolves, Level Up
Chapter 13 Fierce Battle Against the Gray Wolves, Level Up
It's now!
Lin Tian's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, catching this fleeting opening! He completely ignored the gray wolf behind him that had activated [Speed] and was attacking again like a leech, instead focusing all his attention on the gray wolf on his right that had been stunned by the attack!
"Fireball!"
A fireball, as white as lava, exploded again in his palm! Just as the gray wolf adjusted its posture and prepared to pounce again, he accurately predicted and threw the fireball into the path of its impending attack!
boom!
-427!
The fireball exploded violently in front of the gray wolf's chest!
The enormous impact sent its entire body flying backward, its chest charred black and its skin torn open. The terrifying damage instantly wiped out 400 of its health points!
[Ding! Killed a Level 8 Plains Gray Wolf (killing a higher-level enemy)! Gained 15 experience!]
[Ding! Talent 'Enhancement' triggered! Gain 1 'Enhancement Points'!]
[Rewards: Sharp Wolf Fang x1, Copper Coins x25]
"The second one!" Lin Tian thought to himself, his mind highly focused.
As he killed the gray wolf on the right, his body instinctively rolled to the left with all his might!
Waaah—!
A gray blur carrying a stench swept past the back of his head! The elite gray wolf's claws missed again, only carving a few deep furrows in the grass!
"That was close!" Lin Tian exclaimed, breaking out in a cold sweat.
He quickly got up, creating a few meters' distance between himself and the remaining plains wolves, and then swiftly drank a bottle of [healing potion] to restore his health.
The elite gray wolf missed its attack and landed on the ground. It turned around, the pale blue aura still swirling around it (the [Speed] effect was still active), and continued to pounce on Lin Tian.
scoff!
-33!
Another bright red damage number floated up above his head.
boom!
-427!
At the same time, the cooldown of "Fireball" was ready, and a Fireball was cast.
[Ding! Killed a Level 8 Plains Gray Wolf (killing a higher-level enemy)! Gained 15 experience!]
[Ding! Talent 'Enhancement' triggered! Gain 1 'Enhancement Points'!]
[Rewards: Sharp Wolf Fang x1, Copper Coins x25]
The last gray wolf to activate [Speed] was also reduced to charcoal by the blazing white fireball.
"890 health points, taking a few hits isn't a big deal." Lin Tian looked at his health bar, which had only dropped slightly, but his eyes were unusually bright. "But the speed of that elite wolf... and that tricky attack angle... if I hadn't reacted quickly enough, I wouldn't have died from taking it head-on, but I would have been in a very sorry state."
"Attributes are fundamental, but skills are also important!" Lin Tian made up his mind, "This Bluestone Plain is the best training ground!"
In the time that followed, Lin Tian completely transformed into a "cleaner" of the Bluestone Plain.
He was no longer satisfied with passive counterattacks or stationary output.
He no longer took the wolf's claws head-on, but instead used his speed to anticipate and dodge.
Sidestep, roll, sudden stop and change of direction... he moved among the sharp claws and teeth time and time again, experiencing the patterns of the monster's attack trajectory and speed changes.
Each successful dodge deepened his understanding of his own attributes and the enemy's behavior.
Practice "predictive shooting" using the Fireball spell.
Calculate the gray wolves' running speed and attack point, and accurately hit the fireball where they are about to step next, or block their escape space.
From initially failing frequently to later becoming almost certain of success.

The system notification sound was still pleasant, but Lin Tian frowned slightly as he looked at his slowly creeping experience bar (500 experience points are needed to go from level 2 to level 3).
"15 experience points per gray wolf, the bonus for killing someone above your level is indeed quite good. But this Bluestone Plain is too vast!"
He looked around at the vast sea of grass. The strong wind made the wolf tail grass undulate, revealing the scattered or grouped gray wolves among it.
"The monsters are too scattered! Every time I run over, I can only lure three or five of them, kill them, and then run a long way to find the next wave. Most of my time is wasted on the road."
"If only I had an area-of-effect (AOE) skill, it would greatly improve my leveling efficiency."
Four hours later.
[Ding! Congratulations on reaching level 3!]
[All attributes +2!]
[Gained 5 free attribute points!]
[Gained 5 skill points!]

Due to the extra experience gained from killing enemies of higher levels, Lin Tian's level quickly soared from level 2 to level 5!
A surge of power filled my body, and my mind became clearer and sharper.
Meanwhile, I've been grinding monsters like crazy during this time, and my [Upgrade Points] have accumulated to 125!
[Upgrade Points: 125]
Skill Points: 6 + 15
The core of a mage is outputting damage. To maximize damage output and improve monster-killing efficiency, he invested all 15 free attribute points into [Intelligence]!
Then use 8 skill points to upgrade "Fireball" and "Strengthen".
After upgrading, you will have "Fireball" (level 2) and "Strengthen" (level 1).
Skill Points: 6 + 15 - 16
Next, use 50 upgrade points to upgrade "Fireball" and "Strengthen" to Rank B!
[Would you like to consume 40 upgrade points to upgrade the target's 'C-rank skill: Body Strengthening'?]
"confirm!"
[Consuming 50 upgrade points, C-level 'Body Strengthening' has been upgraded to B-level 'Body Strengthening'!]
[Effect: Permanently increases Constitution attribute by 120 points!]
[Current improvement points: 125 - 50 = 75]
[Would you like to consume 50 upgrade points to upgrade the target's 'C-rank skill: Fireball'?]
"confirm!"
[Consuming 40 upgrade points, the C-rank 'Fireball' spell has been upgraded to a B-rank 'Fireball' spell!]
[Casting Range: 50 + (3 * Spirit) meters.]
[Description: Condenses purer fire power, consumes 70 mana, deals fire damage equal to 450% of the caster's spell attack power to the target. Causes an explosion upon impact.]
[Cooldown: 1.2 seconds]
[Current improvement points: 75 - 50 = 25]
The 120-point constitution bonus from the B-level Body Strengthening skill brought his health to a terrifying level!
Fireball damage has now skyrocketed to 124 (spell attack) + 40 (intelligence potion) × 450% = 738 points.
"Furthermore, once Fireball reaches Rank B, it can cause an explosion upon hit, making it an AOE skill that can greatly increase monster-killing efficiency."
Looking at his impressive attributes and exaggerated spell damage, Lin Tian felt a surge of pride.
Lin Tian looked up at the sky.
The once azure sky has been tinged with large swaths of orange and deep purple, and the sun is sinking below the distant horizon, leaving only its last rays of light.
The wind on the bluestone plain carried a hint of coolness, rustling the waist-high foxtail grass, making it seem even more vast and desolate.
"It's getting dark..." Lin Tian frowned slightly.
Although you can still move around at night in the game, your vision is limited, and monsters may become stronger or spawn more dangerous, nocturnal creatures.
More importantly, the mental fatigue caused by continuous high-intensity monster grinding is real.
"Today's harvest has been quite plentiful. My level has also increased to level 5."
Having made up his mind, Lin Tian checked the direction and started walking towards the beginner village.
Then, a figure darted quickly through the deepening twilight.
