Several support players shook their heads.
Most of those who chose the support and healer professions were girls.
And these young girls were absolutely terrified when they saw Mark Lin's Skeleton Warriors.
Forming a party with him? No way.
Mark Lin said calmly, "Mr. Lu, I want to apply to Summer Capital Academy too."
The meaning was clear—he didn't want to team up. He wanted to solo.
Charles Lu looked slightly surprised. "Do you know how hard it is to get into Summer Capital Academy?"
Mark Lin nodded. "I'm confident."
Charles Lu saw the determination in his eyes. "I hope you succeed."
To get into Summer Capital Academy, the first requirement was level.
You had to be at least level 12, and to be safe, ideally level 15.
Last year, Mary Lin got accepted with a solid level 16.
But with only a week left, reaching level 12 would be tough.
Let alone level 15, which was almost impossible.
The monsters in the Novice Dungeons only went up to level 8.
Reaching level 12 there was out of the question.
And the wilderness? Far more dangerous than dungeons.
For newbie class holders like them, venturing out there was essentially suicide.
Aside from the level requirement, there were other unknown conditions.
Details would only be revealed during the final entrance exam.
Under Charles Lu's guidance, the main Combat Classes each selected their support.
Teams were formed in pairs or trios.
Simon Gao chose a Prophet as his support.
Prophets could provide buffing effects and minor healing—not a bad healer at all.
Once teams were finalized, the school issued basic weapons and equipment.
Each class got weapons suited to their role.
"I'm freaking awesome!"
Simon Gao flaunted his new iron sword and shield, swaggering like he was second only to the heavens.
Mark Lin also received a staff.
[Staff]
[Spirit Power+1]
A non-leveled, entry-tier item with no real boost.
Might as well have been a stick—purely for show.
Snow Xia, on the other hand, had her own weapon and didn't need the school-issued one.
Her weapon was a spellbook, and Mark Lin could sense a strong energy flowing through it—it was definitely high-quality.
Before entering the dungeon, Snow Xia turned to Mark Lin and said,
"Let's see who levels up faster."
Mark Lin didn't respond—neither agreeing nor refusing.
Snow Xia gave a soft humph and lifted her chin, exposing her long, elegant neck.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes," she said smugly, then turned and stepped into the dungeon.
Mark Lin's lips curled slightly. "What a competitive girl," he muttered.
With that, he entered the dungeon as well.
The Novice Dungeon was a wide grassland.
The grass was lush and thick, reaching half a meter high.
Many small-sized monsters were hidden in the undergrowth, making them hard to spot.
This area had low monster density, making it relatively safe.
But that also meant it took longer to find monsters than to kill them.
Novice Dungeons existed to help newbies adapt to battle.
Mark Lin summoned four Skeleton Warriors.
"Go hunt monsters," he commanded.
With a single thought, the four Skeleton Warriors sprinted off in different directions.
Click-clack, click-clack.
Their movements stirred eerie winds as they ran.
"So fast!"
With 150 points in Agility, the Skeleton Warriors moved like blurs.
Within seconds, they had already dashed dozens of meters away.
Suddenly, one Skeleton Warrior swung its rusted sword—
[Big-Eared Rabbit killed. EXP +10]
A level 1 Big-Eared Rabbit—instantly slain.
Mark Lin glanced at his experience bar.
1% gained.
Each level 1 monster gave 1%.
Kill 100 of them to level up.
[Big-Eared Rabbit killed. EXP +10]
[Big-Eared Rabbit killed. EXP +10]
Notifications kept popping up as the four Skeleton Warriors hunted and killed nonstop.
Within minutes, Mark Lin's EXP had risen by 10%.
The efficiency was incredible.
Originally, Mark Lin planned to stay in the Novice Dungeon for two days,
reach level 8, then leave.
But now?
It might not even take two full days.
He activated his skill and summoned an additional Iron-Tier Skeleton Warrior.
It immediately joined the hunting squad.
Mark Lin then sat down and began meditating.
Half an hour later, Mark Lin reached his first level-up.
[Name: Mark Lin]
[Class: Necromancer (Unique)]
[Level: 2 (1.00%)]
[Strength: 20]
[Agility: 20]
[Spirit: 40]
[Equipment: None]
[Summon Space: 5/20, Skeleton Warriors (Count: 5)]

[Soul Flame (Level 2): Burns the target's soul, causing burn damage. Power is based on spiritual power and skill level.]
[Summon Skeleton Warrior (Level 2): Summons a Iron-Tier Skeleton Warrior.]
With the level-up, his attributes increased.
His summon space expanded from 10 to 20—now enough for 20 summons.
Both active skills also leveled up.
"I wonder if the attributes of level 2 Skeleton Warriors have improved."
According to the knowledge Mark Lin possessed, higher skill levels should mean stronger summons.
Thanks to the level-up, his Spirit was fully restored.
He activated the skill and summoned another Iron Skeleton Warrior.
This time, he noticed the difference.
The mana cost had increased—from 10 Spirit to 15.
The newly summoned Skeleton Warrior, while still Iron-Tier, looked visibly more solid.
Less gray, more vibrant.
Its body also had fewer cracks.
[Iron-Tier Skeleton Warrior]
[Strength: 250]
[Agility: 250]
[Spirit: 250]
[Constitution: 250]
[Skills: None]
