Leon did not use Tenseigan mode for now. After all, it consumes too much physical strength.
Leon chose to swing the long sword in his hand to attack the first wave of monsters he had encountered.
If an ordinary rookie adventurer faces one monster on the first floor, as long as they are not frozen with fear, they can definitely emerge victorious.
If there are two monsters, they can win with some difficulty and if there are three monsters, they can kill them with minor injuries.
But if there are more than four monsters, then the lone rookie adventurer will definitely not be able to kill them, and may even die. The only choice is to escape immediately.
But Leon is obviously not an ordinary rookie adventurer. His physical strength is five times greater than that of an ordinary person.
Even if Leon is just a rookie adventurer with no combat skills and experience, as long as there are not more than a dozen monsters at once, Leon can easily kill them.
After all, Leon's starting point is much higher than others.
Six or seven small goblins were chopped down by Leon before they could even touch the corner of his clothes, leaving only tiny magic stones.
Such one-shot type fight was not good for Leon, who was trying to better his combat skills.
For a new adventurer like Leon, combat skill is the most important.
So, after a brief thought, Leon took out the map he had bought from the prop shop at the Tower of Babel and prepared to go to a deeper floor.
In the dungeon, if a newcomer does not have a map, then if they want to enter a deeper floor, they need to explore slowly by themselves.
This map is a combination of intelligence gathered by many adventurers after their raids, and it is impossible to give it away for free. Although the price is not too expensive, it is not something that a new adventurer can afford.
However, Leon is obviously not a normal rookie adventurer without financial resources. He can afford the price of a map.
Now Leon has no combat skills or experience, which is obviously not a good thing for an adventurer.
Leon can easily crush Lv. 1 monsters, but when encountering an enemy of equal strength, without great combat skills, he will definitely face a loss.
The monsters on the first floor are obviously not enough for Leon to train his combat skills and accumulate combat experience, and Leon didn't want to suppress his strength.
So Leon was ready to go to deeper floors. He planned to check one floor at a time.
When he finds that the monsters on a certain floor are strong enough, he will stop at that floor to practice and accumulate combat experience.
Moreover, the deeper the floor, the larger the magic stones dropped after the monsters are killed.
Following the instructions on the map, Leon quickly found the passage to the new floor. Leon stepped in and passed through the dim passage to the second floor.
However, Leon did not stay on the second floor for too long. After killing the monsters on the second floor, he continued to move towards the third floor.
Then came the third floor, the fourth floor, the fifth floor, and the sixth floor. After trying one floor at a time, Leon spent four hours and reached the middle floor.
"Sure enough, my strength has completely surpassed Lv. 1."
"My current strength allows me to operate at the middle floors."
After killing the silverback that had rushed over, Leon thought silently.
Silverback is a very strong monster in the upper floors, and it is also a top existence among Lv. 1 monsters.
However, facing its attack, Leon didn't feel any trouble. Even if several silverbacks besieged him, Leon was still at ease.
This made Leon officially confirm that his combat power was definitely higher than Lv. 1.
It was just a guess before, but now, Leon's guess has been confirmed.
"I should see if I can kill a Minotaur."
"Then, my feats should be enough for me to upgrade to Lv. 2."
"At that time, as long as my basic stats are raised to a suitable degree, I can choose to upgrade."
Looking at the gradually brightening passage, Leon muttered to himself.
Then he began to pick up the magic stones on the ground.
Minotaurs are a representative monster of the middle floors, and it is also the first Lv. 2 monster to appear in the middle floors.
An adventurer's "feat" is not calculated based on strength, but on level. Of course, this level refers to the adventurer, not the monster.
No matter how strong you are, level is taken into consideration. If you have the combat power of Lv. 5, but your level is only Lv. 3, then you are Lv. 3 when calculating the feat.
If an adventurer crosses levels and defeats a monster that is stronger than their level, then their feat skyrockets.
And as we all know, feat is necessary to increase basic stats and level up.
Just like Ais in the original timeline.
In the original timeline, she defeated Udaeus who was comparable to a Lv. 6 at Lv. 5 alone, thereby accumulating enough feat in one fell swoop and upgrading from Lv. 5 to Lv. 6.
This situation is rare. Most adventurers work together to kill monsters that are stronger than themselves. Then, the feat is equally shared, and they slowly accumulate feats in this way.
Since the creation of Orario, a person has rarely defeated a stronger monster by relying on their own strength.
In the original tineline, only Ottar, Ais and the protagonist Bell have shown this capability.
Ais and Bell relied on themselves. Their potential was super explosive, and they legitimately defeated monsters stronger than themselves.
Leon also wanted to do this. With his current strength, as long as he works hard, it should be no problem.
Leon is now on the 13th floor. There is no Minotaur on this floor. Minotaurs usually only appear on the 15th to 17th floors.
So if Leon wants to kill a Minotaur, he needs to go deeper.
After taking a look at the time, Leon felt that he still had enough time, and he was not tired at all.
