The Magic Cup champions had lost their first match, rudely waking them up from their daydream .
They only lost a few points, so this wouldn't impact them from proceeding to the next stages .
If they couldn't even make it past the first stage, they might as well disband .
Lu Li gained 12% experience from being a guest this time; he was 13% away from level 45 .
This would take him one or two days if he followed his usual leveling procedures . At a time like this, no one really had the patience for that kind of effort .
This was why Lu Li brought the rare materials that Square Root 3 had prepared and made his way to the Bloodfang Altar .
"I believe you've heard of the Well of Eternity," Krug said . More healthy Worgen had appeared and had begun to spread afar . Gilneas Kingdom, once shrouded by darkness, was becoming known to increasingly more people .
Apparently, some players had even learned the Worgen Transformation .
"Of course I've heard of it; everyone knows of the Well of Eternity . " Lu Li didn't understand why he was being asked such a childish question .
The Well of Eternity was once the center of Azeroth . It was a lake filled with mysterious energy and was the source of all magic and natural energy in the world .
It drew energy from the endless darkness beyond this realm, providing nutrients for the living beings of the world .
Later, the battle between Malfurion and Azshara would throw the magic of higher Elves into confusion . The swirl inside the Well of Eternity would eventually explode, initiating a series of unfortunate events .
"In the ancient times, we were used to drawing energy from the Well of Eternity . This was so easy that we began to rely on it, uncontrollably," Krug sighed, then continued, "We call it a magic addiction, and what you're doing now is no different to what we did in the past . "
Lu Li instantly understood what he meant .
It seemed like Krug wasn't supportive of Lu Li using the altar to gain experience .
"Thank you for the reminder," Lu Li said as he packed away most of his rare materials, only leaving enough for him to reach level 45 .
Originally, he had wanted to gain more EXP .
Krug was very right – players an advantage with higher levels, but levels weren't the deciding factor for everything .
After Water Fairy retrieved the Empowerment: Backstab skill, her teacher advised her not to be hasty about using it . It would be best to learn the skill after she could achieve 100% completion level for her regular Backstab .
One-hundred-percent completion required more than just good posture; you needed a deep understanding of the skill .
Hosted by Krug himself, the altar devoured the rare materials .
As the light emanated outwards and shrouded him, Lu Li let out a long breath .
He was finally level 45 .
This wasn't a big jump, but it gave him an extra equipment level .
While the others were still struggling with their level 40 gear, he was already holding level 45 equipment .
Widowmaker (Epic): Damage 54-72, Agility +40, Strength +20, Constitution +10, Critical Strike +15% . Two slots . Special Effect 1: Disarm . 50% chance to steal an enemy weapon so that it cannot be used to attack for 3 seconds . Special Effect 2: Bleed . Your attacks have certain chance of causing a target to bleed for 50% of the damage taken for 6 seconds . Special Effect 3: Escape . Blink to a designated location within 15 yards in line of sight . 3-minute cooldown . Equipment Requirement: level 45 . Durability 150/150 .
Control, bleeding and escape – this was a dagger perfectly suited for Lu Li .
The new dagger seemed slightly wider compared to his previous one and was also longer too . This was a suitable weapon for his main hand .
It was a slightly darker shade with a streamlined design to minimize the flow of air during attacks . This made the user more capable of hiding and was a better dagger for sneaking up on opponents .
After reaching level 45, it would become increasingly harder to level up . Lu Li was already two levels higher than the second-place player, so he wasn't in a rush to train . It would be more beneficial for him to find someone who could empower his skills .
If someone had a whole set of empowered skills, they would be able to defeat Lu Li, even if he was a higher level and had better equipment .
Of course, most players would only have one or two empowered skills at this stage . Even someone like Water Fairy, who was highly favored by the teacher, only had one empowered skill book . Moreover, her teacher had asked her to maximize her completion level before she learned it .
Lu Li waved Krug goodbye and teleported to Southshore .
"I wish to find a teacher in the organization . Can you introduce anyone to me?" Lu Li asked . He had chosen a time when the inn was less crowded and invited the hostess for a drink .
"Teacher…" The hostess was surprised at Lu Li's request .
"Do you not have a teacher?" Lu Li was curious as to how NPCs taught each other skills . In Dawn, there were many famous teacher and student combinations, for example, Cenarius and Malfurion, Antonidas and Jaina . . .
"The name of my teacher is unspeakable, and he won't take a second student either," the hostess said as she shook her head .
"Is he a master? How many empowered skills has he taught you?" Lu Li asked .
The hostess frowned . She wasn't impressed by Lu Li's persistence, but she still answered in the end .
"Of course . You should find a master as your teacher too . My teacher taught me seven empowered skills . "
A total of seven! Lu Li realized he had underestimated these NPCs .
The hostess wasn't an important figure in Ravenholdt Manor, but she wasn't a simple watchman either .
"Can you introduce me to a master in the organization?" Lu Li requested .
"Without the permission of a master, I cannot give you anyone's name, unless you tell me who you're looking for specifically," the hostess said, as a hint of fear flashed across . She didn't even dare to mention any names .
"Please, we're friends, right?" Lu Li couldn't do much .
Ravenholdt Manor was one of the most secretive organizations in Azeroth . Even the people in the organization were not be aware of each other . Lu Li knew Duke Ravenholdt, who was the leader of the organization, but there was no way he would take Lu Li as a student .
