After this, Ling Xuan and Ryu left the Dungeon after a simple discussion.
Ling Xuan quickly rushed to the headquarters of the Hestia Familia.
"I'm back, Hestia—!"
As these words just fell, Ling Xuan also immediately opened the door to the headquarters—the hidden room in the church.
Then he greeted Hestia, who was sitting on the sofa reading inside!
Hearing such a sound, she immediately brightened up, raised her head, and smiled slightly.
Then she immediately came before Ling Xuan with a series of small hops.
"You're back so fast today! Ling Xuan, looking at your expression, the harvest today seems quite good!"
Looking at Hestia in front of him, Ling Xuan also nodded with a smile on his face.
"Yes, the harvest this time is quite good, but I have something even more important."
Hestia was slightly taken aback upon hearing these words.
"Something important?"
"Yes, Hestia, I'm preparing to Level Up to lv2."
"Oh... Level Up to lv2... Wait! Ling Xuan, what did you just say?"
An expression of surprise immediately appeared on Hestia's face.
"Do you know what you're saying? You've only been an adventurer for just over a month, and now you're going to Level Up to lv2?"
Seeing the goddess in front of him show a surprised expression, Ling Xuan wasn't surprised at all.
"Of course, I have also gathered the great deeds I need."
Hearing this, Hestia immediately became somewhat stunned on the spot.
Although she already knew that Ling Xuan's Level Up speed was very fast.
That was only in the case of ability values...
An adventurer who could Level Up in less than a month was truly the first she had ever seen.
"Let me take a look at your ability values..."
Under Hestia's words, Ling Xuan also nodded and then took off his upper garment.
After going through the previous process, Ling Xuan's various attribute values also appeared before Hestia.
"It's truly unbelievable, you actually gathered enough great deeds to Level Up... And all your ability values have reached S-rank...."
"Hmm, so I should be able to choose to Level Up now?"
"Of course, but speaking of which, Ling Xuan, how many development abilities do you have?"
Regarding the matter of development abilities, Ling Xuan also spoke everything out truthfully.
"I see, then you should have already decided which ability to choose."
"Yes, I want to choose the 'Herrscher Authority' ability."
This is beyond doubt, other abilities are either not very useful for Ling Xuan or can't compare to the cost-effectiveness of Herrscher Authority.
If he wants to continue progressing in this world, then this ability is definitely the one to choose.
Seeing Hestia make the choice, Hestia's noble eyes showed gentle lines, and she said softly.
"I see, then I will immediately perform the [Level Up] for you next."
Along with these words, Ling Xuan and Hestia immediately came to their usual fixed spot.
Which was Hestia's bed.
Before Leveling Up, the ability values need to be updated first.
"I really didn't expect it at all, Ling Xuan could Level Up to lv2 so quickly... It's truly unbelievable!"
Hearing these words, Ling Xuan just shrugged.
However, from what he currently understood, his Level Up speed should be the fastest so far.
"Goodness, my memory is still stuck on when you just joined my [Familia], and in such a short time, you've already had such rapid progress... You really are a monster in every sense of the word!"
While Hestia was speaking, the movements of her hands didn't stop either.
The trembling sound transmitted through the skin to the bedsheets sounded unusually annoying.
Although he was lying on the bed, his body felt light and airy, and he had to admit that his excitement was laughable.
Similarly, Ling Xuan was also incredibly looking forward to it in his heart.
This was the first time he had experienced the situation of Leveling Up.
However, the process of Leveling Up was actually just an ordinary and unremarkable thing.
Ling Xuan didn't even feel anything, and he successfully Leveled Up to a lv2 adventurer!
"Alright!"
When he heard Hestia's voice, Ling Xuan was also stunned for a moment.
Although he knew that Leveling Up to lv2 was quite unremarkable, he didn't feel anything, and it just ended like this?
While Ling Xuan was in a daze, Hestia also got off Ling Xuan's waist, and Ling Xuan also propped up his upper body.
Ling Xuan was still kneeling on the bed, slowly lowering his head to look down at his hands.
Feeling the power within his body...
How to put it, there were no obvious changes in his body, his body didn't deform, and he didn't feel any powerful strength within him.
It felt no different from how it was before Leveling Up...
However, having said that, Ling Xuan wasn't disappointed.
It was just a superficial phenomenon, he could now knock down his previous self with one punch.
Ling Xuan possessed this kind of confidence!
"[Level Up] won't cause changes in your body structure. If I accidentally made you expect some drastic changes, then I can only say sorry.
However, the [Ability Values] have indeed sublimated.
Your 'capacity' has risen to a higher stage.
Saying you've become closer to the gods, perhaps that's easier to understand?
Ling Xuan, you just haven't realized it, when you enter combat state, your movements should become more agile than before, okay?"
Hearing this, Ling Xuan also nodded.
However, at this moment, he didn't pay too much attention to such matters, but instead opened his panel.
After [Level Up], basic abilities and proficiency will be reset to initial values, starting from I0 again.
The accumulated ability values will not disappear, but will be reflected on the [Ability Values] without omission in the form of potential values.
