Chapter 3: Leveling Up
At the sound of the trees in the wind, leaves falling, while Liu Yang walked, he felt relaxed and calm. While holding the improvised spear in his hands and paying attention to surroundings, when suddenly he hears a wild roar coming from a nearby place, following the sound, Liu Yang begins to hear two roaring types at the same time.
As he approached the spot, Liu Yang saw a huge black bear about four feet high, had two claws with extremely sharp nails, which looked like small blades coming out of the paw, whenever it opened its mouth to roar it was possible to see sharp teeth and black hairs were all erect as if they were needles and it looked at its opponent with eyes that glowed with a reddish color.
The bear was struggling against an extremely large crocodile that was nearly fifteen feet long, had leather that was the combination of pale green and a pale blue and reflected part of the sunlight as if it were pure steel, its mouth had two rows of sharp teeth.
The two were having an extremely savage fight, each of them already covered with wounds and blood dripping from its bodies, but that did not stop it from continuing its battle.
Liu Yang stepped closer and tried to see their information through the Phantom Vision, which he saw dizzily.

"What?!? How is it possible that the first creatures I encounter are level 15 ?! In a normal RPG, I would have found level 1 beings to start my adventure ... I think due to the fact that I have double innate talent, I have to start the hard way. How am I going to be able to kill these two creatures? Or should I let them kill themselves so I can get the remains? My current powers are considered trash compared to those two "
While Liu Yang watched the two fighting animals, he was thinking of a way to get to kill the two or one of them at least to gain level. The confrontation between the black bear and the giant crocodile began to get more intense, the body of the two animals was beginning to get injured and stained with blood, Liu Yang watched its conditions by the Phantom Vision.
Suddenly the black bear's hair began to grow a little and became sharper, its nails glowing red, jumping and attacking the crocodile's back; causing an extremely large and deep wound on the back while it was digging its nails into the crocodile.
The crocodile let out an agonizing roar and began to squirm in an attempt to get rid of the bear on its back, its scales began to release a sort of gaunt mud, the bear's paw and its legs that were on top of the crocodile, when it entered contact with the mud, began to erode.
Releasing a miserable roar, the bear rushes and leaps to the ground, staring at its paw and it's bloody and corroded legs until it was possible to see some white parts of the bone, the bear releasing a wild roar and charging towards the crocodile that was writhing in pain.
Seeing the enemy approaching, the crocodile did not recoil and let out a roar to suppress the pain and charged toward the bear.
As the two animals began to lose a lot of vitality, Liu Yang managed to think of a plan, but he does not know if it is possible to gain a level by killing the beast like that. Seeing the two creatures almost near death, Liu Yang stopped hesitating and began to put the plan into practice.
Having made two spears with extremely hard and tough wood, Liu Yang picked up a fairly flexible branch about two meters long, tied in two trees that were a distance of a meter of a half, thus making a giant improvised bow.
Liu Yang did not know whether the bow and wooden spear had the power to kill at least one of the creatures, even with his Phantom Vision to see the two pieces of equipment, he could not calculate if victory was possible, it would all depend on luck.
Comparing the two animals, the black bear was disadvantaged by the venom, but the crocodile was not also well, for on its back was an extremely bloody and deep wound. Liu Yang continued to watch the situation as he pulled the giant bow with a spear like an arrow.
When Liu Yang saw that the life of the black bear was reaching 50 points, Liu Yang started to get nervous because he could not find the chance to shoot, since the black bear's hair was very hard, but suddenly, the black bear turned back to use sharp hair to try to defend itself, Liu Yang saw that the black bear's chest was all mutilated and bloody, getting to see the bone and a small ball hitting.
"This is the heart!"
Liu Yang was surprised the moment he saw, aiming for the coercion and without waiting for a second more, he shot and closed the eyes. Relying on the Divine Hands skill that increased by 100% of all manual labor.
"Roar ... !!"
Listening to the miserable roar, Liu Yang opens the eyes and sees that the arrow he shot was where the wound that showed the heart was. Liu Yang almost screamed when he saw it, but he covered the mouth with the hands quickly.
The black bear realized that he could no longer live for long, it decided to strike a blow with last forces on the crocodile. Turning and using the sharp nails, the bear strikes exactly in the neck, due to the force of the bear, it manages to break the crocodile's spine, causing it to roar quite miserable, after the blow, the bear could not take it anymore and fell forward, with that spear in chest deeper still, killing it immediately.
After the black bear died, a series of warnings appeared in front of Liu Yang.
"Congratulations on reaching level 2, +2 on all stats, +10 HP, +5 MP"
"Congratulations on reaching level 3, +2 on all stats, +10 HP, +5 MP"
"Congratulations on reaching level 4, +2 on all stats, +10 HP, +5 MP"
"Congratulations on reaching level 5, +2 on all stats, +10 HP, +5 MP"
"Congratulations on reaching level 6, +2 on all stats, +10 HP, +5 MP"
Killing the black bear, Liu Yang managed to gain five levels in a row, feeling his body get stronger after leveling up, but he did not have time to think about it at the moment.
Leaving level rise aside, Liu Yang did not believe what he saw in front of him, he did not know that the spear he fired like the arrow would have this kind of event going against the heavens. Before he was touched, he saw the crocodile gazing toward him with a look of anger and hatred.
Using the Phantom Vision, Liu Yang saw that the crocodile could no longer move because of a broken spine, so he was not afraid to approach as he held the makeshift spear with the iron point.
When he came across the side of the body of the two animals, Liu Yang saw how big it was. Looking at the bloody wound on the neck of the crocodile, Liu Yang had an idea, using all forces, he pierced through the wound up to the head and going towards the animal's brain, the crocodile did not have time to give a roar before dying on site.
"Congratulations on reaching level 7, +2 on all stats, +10 HP, +5 MP"
"Congratulations on reaching level 8, +2 on all stats, +10 HP, +5 MP"
"Congratulations on reaching level 9, +2 on all stats, +10 HP, +5 MP"
Listening to the sounds of the system, Liu Yang finally relaxed, his legs weakened and almost fell on the crocodile's back. Seeing that he managed to level 8 levels, he finally managed to smile. Remembering his days of online games, Liu Yang wanted to get the leather and the meat of the crocodile; and the claws of the bear. For these items were quite precious.
After a few moments of rest, Liu Yang began to work. Due to the strength of the materials, it took almost five whole hours to remove the crocodile leather enough, as for the meat, Liu Yang did not catch too much since there was no shortage of food in the forest and the claws of the bear were the easiest to take, since it was corroded by the poison.
"Rong ... Rong ..."
Listening to his stomach rumble, Liu Yang saw that it was getting late and his level of hunger was already quite low, almost reaching 10 points.
Liu Yang had to look for someplace with water again since the old place was a little far and would not have time to return. Climbing up a large tree and looking around, Liu Yang found a small stream a few hundred yards ahead.
Running toward it while carrying the materials, it made his level of hunger drop even faster.
Getting to the creek when his hunger hit 2, Liu Yang started to build a fire after he had thrown the meat into the water, he was cleaning the piece of crocodile meat. With the fire burning and the meat on the spit, Liu Yang finally lay down on the floor and waiting for the meat to bake.
After the meal, Liu Yang opened his statistics.

Looking at his stats that took a small leap, Liu Yang was quite happy, but at the same time with doubt. How did I get +2 on all attributes at each level? Could it be that for every race there is a type of distribution? Or is it another mistake that came with me?
Seeing that it was very confusing to his questions, Liu Yang decided to leave for another time, feeding the campfire with more wood and leaf; he decided to go to sleep because the day was tiring.
