All players: Become a Dharma King, with unlimited skill stats.

The area behind the school is a designated area where the school keeps ferocious beasts; it's not considered a true wilderness area.

It is mainly a place for newly-turned professionals to practice their skills.

The highest level of the ferocious beasts inside is no more than level five, and most of them are not very aggressive, such as tall rabbits and wool sheep. The only one that is considered relatively dangerous is the tusked boar.

So An Bai wasn't too worried and went straight into the depths of the back mountain.

After getting away from crowded places, An Bai soon spotted the first ferocious beast.

[Tall Rabbit Lv1: HP 80, Attack 5, Defense 3]

The Tall Rabbit is the weakest of the ferocious beasts, with mediocre attributes. Even if a mage runs out of mana, it can still take on a mage by swinging its staff like a club.

However, since this was An Bai's first encounter with a ferocious beast, he decided to proceed with caution.

Upon seeing it from dozens of meters away, he stopped in his tracks, then took out his staff and unleashed his only attack skill—

"Basic Fireball"

boom--

A fireball, about the size of a child's head, flew past at a relatively slow speed.

Seeing this, the tall rabbit nimbly jumped to the side, easily dodging the fireball.

This is also the awkward situation for low-level mages.

The speed of projectile attacks in this beginner-level skill is actually not very fast, far slower than an archer's arrows.

Therefore, novice mages should generally be paired with melee classes so that the melee class can attack while pulling the enemy away, thus avoiding this situation.

This tall rabbit seems to be quite experienced in this.

Knowing that the mage couldn't use the same skill consecutively for at least two or three seconds after dodging the fireball, he immediately jumped over.

However, the moment it took off, a loud "boom" rang out.

At the same time, an unbearable heat wave came from behind.

Before the tall rabbit could even turn around to see who had attacked it, it was completely engulfed in flames.

-887!

An Bai's eyes widened.

A fireball was fired.

That tall rabbit owes him nine lives!

"The explosion distance is estimated to be about ten meters."

"The multiplier decreases by about ten times for every meter."

From the beginning, An Bai never intended to hit the target, after all, there was a distance of several tens of meters, and the fireball's trajectory speed wasn't very fast.

But after all, his fireball has an additional attribute.

Even if it doesn't directly hit the tall rabbit, it will still cause an explosion when it lands on the ground.

Even after jumping about two meters, the tall rabbit still suffered damage equivalent to about eighty times the power of the skill.

[Successfully defeated Talllegs (level 1), current experience gain (1%)!]

After gaining a basic understanding of his skills, An Bai had a general idea.

He continued deeper into the back mountain, jogging all the way, completely unconcerned that he might be discovered by the ferocious beasts lurking around.

as predicted.

After he ran a short distance with great fanfare...

Upon discovering that he was a lone, low-level professional, many ferocious beasts immediately ceased concealing themselves and rushed towards him eagerly.

Even the packs of ferocious beasts were worried that if they were too slow, their lunch would be snatched away by other beasts, so they put in even more effort.

"Perfect timing!"

An Bai chuckled and immediately stopped, waving his staff as he looked at the dozen or so ferocious beasts that were chasing after him.

[Tall Rabbit Lv2: HP 120, Attack 8, Defense 5]

【Woolly Sheep Lv3: HP 200, Attack 6, Defense 6】

[Tusked Boar Lv2: HP 180, Attack 15, Defense 8]

【…】

[Successfully killed 16 ferocious beasts, current experience (29%)!]

I've only been in the jungle for less than ten minutes, and my experience bar is already almost a third full.

Such an upgrade in efficiency surprised and excited An Bai himself.

In theory, a typical beginner warrior would need at least a day to level up to level 2, while even a beginner with a powerful class would need at least half a day.

After all, this isn't a game; battles consume stamina and energy.

Moreover, as a newcomer, even if you only kill a tall rabbit, you need to rest for a few minutes to recover, let alone fight continuously.

In this respect, summoners or classes with area-of-effect attacks from the start have an advantage, since one doesn't have to do anything and the other is more efficient.

However, generally speaking, a normal summoner's first summon is not even as strong as an ordinary swordsman, and they can only clear maps by teaming up with others. It is also very rare for someone to have high-damage, wide-range skills at level one.

Perfectly, An Bai met this condition.

This cycle repeats about three times, each time attracting a group of monsters to chase after it, then turning around and killing a large number of them.

Less than half an hour later, a white light emanated from An Bai's body—

Congratulations! You have reached level 2!

[Triggered basic class passive, all attributes +1; triggered mage beginner passive, spirit +3!]

"We can draw keywords again!"

An Bai couldn't wait to activate the entry system immediately.

[Using 1 chance, currently drawing a gold-tier affix....]

[Draw successful! Congratulations on obtaining the Gold Legendary Skill Attribute: Explosion]

An Bai: ? ? ?

What's going on? It's the same term again?

System, are you kidding me? Is there only one type of affix in the entire lottery pool?

Just as An Bai was somewhat speechless.

The entry system did not stop after the entry was extracted; instead, the golden light continued to flash, and a system notification sound rang out.

[Duplicate entries detected. An extra chance to win a prize is being given away. Drawing is in progress...]

[Draw successful! Congratulations on obtaining the legendary gold skill attribute: 10x]

What the hell!

Does the system have this additional effect?

If you draw a duplicate, you get another free draw?

An Bai was pleasantly surprised by the system, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

[Currently available unused keywords: Explosion, 10x. Please select skills to pair with.]

"The fireball has already exploded, can it be used again?"

[Answer: Similar terms can be combined for enhanced effect.]

That actually works!

With that in mind, An Bai stopped hesitating, since this was the only skill he currently possessed.

First, use explosive fusion to integrate it—

【初级火球术】：召唤一个火球进行攻击，有1%概率灼烧敌人，伤害为10+10%精神力。爆炸*2：火球命中后会产生大範围爆炸效果，爆炸伤害提升30-300倍（从核心到外围边缘逐渐削弱）

Huh?

and many more!

Repeated stacking doesn't actually produce a 1+1 effect!

An Bai thought the improvement would be 20-200 times, but he didn't expect it to be 30-300 times!

Moreover, the explosion effect has changed from a "range explosion" to a "large-scale explosion"!
