Under his deliberate control, the number of Lobster Men continued to decrease, and the numbers of the Fishman Native Tribe decreased even faster, with countless corpses turning belly-up on the surface of the sea.

Lin Xiao, with his sharp eyes, spotted a large shadow flickering in the distance; he guessed that sharks or other sea beasts had smelled the blood and hurried over.

These shark sea beasts were quite clever; they didn’t rush straight into the fray but instead lingered on the edges of the battlefield, occasionally sneaking in to snatch away a few corpses, largely ignored by the combatants.

As time ticked by, under his deliberate control, the Lobster Men and the Native Fishmen slaughtered each other, significantly reducing their numbers. Now there were about one thousand six to seven hundred Lobster Men left, and the Fishmen, initially numbering twenty thousand, had dwindled to about twelve thousand. Both sides were evenly matched, with neither gaining an advantage.

If it weren’t for him as the troublemaker, this trend would likely lead to a mutually damaging outcome in the end.

But by this stage, Lin Xiao felt it was about time.

Enough Fishmen had died; any more deaths, and there would be little value left. Approximately twelve thousand Fishmen were just enough to have value, and he was confident that even if his attempt to subdue them failed, he could still turn the situation around.

Twisting his sturdy neck, he raised his weapon and shouted to the three hundred-plus Naga and over a thousand Fishmen resting behind him:

“Children, it’s time to exterminate these heretics!”

Leading the charge, he smashed one Lobster Man in two with a blow, reversed his spear to blast another Lobster Man’s head apart, and with a flick of his massive tail, flung another Lobster Man aside and swiftly withdrew ten-plus meters.

The angry Lobster Men who charged forward were struck by the several hundred black shadows following close behind, instantly killing a swath of them.

It must be said that the Salted Fish Charge skill was simply too abnormal, especially in lower-tier battles where few enemies possess strong survival abilities; a burst of attacks could instantly wipe out a group. With equal numbers, there were few races that could outperform them.

The already dwindling numbers of the Lobster Men, just one thousand six to seven hundred strong, were further reduced by three to four hundred with one burst, plunging them deeper into a disadvantage.

This was with many Black Scale Naga attacking a single target. If each dealt with a different target, the Lobster Men would suffer even more casualties.

Afterward, the overall situation was essentially settled.

But Lin Xiao didn’t stop there; instead, he fought with even greater vigor. After killing a shark and so many Lobster Men, he felt his accumulated experience had surpassed the halfway point. He seized this opportunity to kill more and accumulate enough experience to level up.

This realm was not safe, and the missions were anything but easy; his power needed to be as strong as possible.

With each Lobster Man he killed, he could feel changes in his vitality. As the experience bar filled closer to the end, his breath gradually started boiling. “Bang!”

With a fierce flick of his tail, he flung a Lobster Man away. His left hand speared into one Lobster Man’s claw, and his right hand violently smashed another Lobster Man’s brain, along with part of its antennae and eye-stalks, shattering the shell completely.

“Level up!”

Having kept a close eye on his state, needing just a smidge of experience, Lin Xiao let out a low roar the moment he killed that Lobster Man. Five thousand points of divine power were spent, transforming into a warm current that surged from his heart, flowing through his veins throughout his body. As this power passed through, his muscles started to strengthen, his skin became tougher, and his scales became harder.

It seemed slow, but to an outsider, it looked as if he had roared angrily and an invisible wave of energy had expanded, with his body swelling significantly as if inflated. His height grew from the previous two meters three to two meters five, and with the addition of his tail, the total length went from four meters five to five meters, hanging in the water like a small giant.

Evaluation: This is a species of amphibious humanoid that has never been seen before, possessing superhuman strength.

Compared to Level 2, constitution and strength each increased by one point, agility nearly increased by one point, and spirit increased by about half a point.

There hasn’t been much change in talents, skills, or expertise, except the tough scale shell turned into shining scales, which, besides enhancing defense, also provide a small amount of resistance to spells.

Additionally, the skill Basic Footwork has also been leveled up from one to two levels. It doesn’t show in the attributes, but Lin Xiao feels like he has become more agile in the water after the advancement.

Although the skill is called footwork, it actually refers to dodging and moving in combat; however, the effect after learning varies depending on the race. It’s not strictly about footwork, especially for races like Naga or Snake people who have no feet.

A Level 3 Naga warrior isn’t much stronger than a Level 2 Naga warrior, amounting to a comprehensive enhancement on top of Level 2 without a qualitative change.

No matter the race, anything below Level 3 is basic and unlikely to change much, but surpassing Level 3 and stepping into Level 4 involves a significant leap or a minor qualitative change.

Alternatively said, low-level races won’t exceed Level 3 in their advancement. Perhaps by undergoing modifications or consuming certain special treasures, they can break this limit, but that is an exception.

Only medium races can advance beyond Level 3. Conversely, any race that can advance beyond Level 3 must be a medium race or higher.

Of course, Lin Xiao’s current state is under the Saint Descend state, and his attributes are actually enhanced. A regular Naga advancing to Level 3 wouldn’t have the all-attributes buff, and their talents, skills, and expertise would not be as high as his; his is an enhanced version.

In gaming terms, he is now operating on a BOSS template, so he is all-around stronger than his peers.

After the advancement, Lin Xiao wanted to howl to the sky, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized it was not suitable underwater. With a mighty flick of his thickened snake tail, even without using Salted Fish Charge, his speed was astonishingly fast. He heavily slammed into a Lobster Man, knocking it sideways. His large tail wrapped around it, pulling it back, and it collided right into the extended spearhead, piercing through the chest.

Easily killing a Lobster Man, but Lin Xiao still felt unsatisfied. The Lobster Men were too weak, not even good enough for a warm-up.

He looked around and set his sights on the Lobster Man Leader positioned in the middle of the group.

It was a much larger individual than the other Lobster Men, probably five meters in length—a large Lobster Man. This prey… seems adequate..
