I advance towards the bear with my Jade City Sword sheathed, but the Grizzly Bear immediately bellows and charges at me, brandishing his sharp claws.

1!

Ha. My 1022 defense is too high and the bear can only take 1 point off of my health.

Immediately, I unequip my Dawn Breastplate and Fire Beacon Helmet. My defense steeply falls. Now, the Grizzly Bear's attacks do 10 or more points of health. After it hits me several more times, I use [Heal] to fill my HP back up which attracts a great amount of aggro. I keep an eye on the aggro bar and once it reaches 40%, I yell: "Start attacking now!"

Old K raises his battle axe and uses [Fire Axe] & [Heavy Strike] on the Grizzly Bear's head. It seems to tickle it——

31!
18!

Song Han remains silent and brings his dagger up to the Grizzly Bear's back. He quickly stabs the bear on the back while using the skill [Bleed]. The dagger tip shines and stabs into the back of the Grizzly Bear. As expected, an Assassin's penetration really does surpass that of a Berserker.

41!
49!

From far away, Fox aims his firearm which is quickly loaded with gunpowder and then is fired. With a "Bang", a bullet bursts forth. The air fills with the smell of gunpowder as the Grizzly Bear howls in grief. The Bear's HP falls by 12. It seems that Fox's attack power is the worst of the team, but nothing can be done as a musketeer's advantage is in its superiority in range. In the early levels, his attack power is pretty bad.

Looking at the Grizzly Bear, I see his HP falls below 95%!

"Clang!"

I unsheathe my Jade City Sword and behead the bear with a Level 4 [Wind Blade]!

1217!

.....

"Wow......"

They stare at me with a stupefied expression. Song Han asks: "Brother Xiao Yao, what was that attack? That was so strong! What is your upper bound for attack damages?"

1300!

"OP!" Old K sticks up his thumb at me.

Fox laughs: "This way of leveling is pretty good. In that one kill, I got 30+% of my Level's Experience. Let us continue!"

"Ok!"

I step forward, attract the attention of another Grizzly Bear and repeat our strategy from before. This strategy is pretty unusual. First, it requires that I have a high enough attack power. Then, I need a way of substantially attracting aggro while not attacking the monster with any skills. Only two types of skills can fulfill this requirement. One is my [Heal] skill or any Healer's ability; the other is a Monk's [Put Down Your Sword]. With any other skill, it would not attract enough aggro and when the novices attack, they would take aggro and die in an instant.

When the third Grizzly Bear fell, the three got to Level 11. Song Han adds all of his stat points into agility, because the main damage of the Assassin class comes from their agility. For Assassins and Musketeers, the ten stat points in agility not only raises their attack speed and critical strike chance but also increases about 5-8 points in attack which is why they add their points to agility.

Slowly killing our way through the jungle, we made our way up to monsters that were Lv 34...

....

Seven o'clock AM arrives.

"Shua!"

A light glows around them and my three friends reach Lv 19. Everyone looks so excited. Song Han laughs: "I would not have expected our levels to rise so rapidly. At first, I had thought we needed 24 hours to reach Lv 20 but it only took 10 hours!"
