Solo Leveling episode 4 preview hints at Sung Jin-Woo surviving the steel-fanged Lycan
The previous episode saw Sung Jin-Woo defeat a few goblins, following which he was attacked by a ferocious steel-fanged Lycan. The episode ended on a cliffhanger, leaving fans to wonder about the protagonist's fate. While it is quite obvious that he will survive, it seems like he will be left unscathed after his battle against the beast.
With that, it should be evident that Sung Jin-Woo has leveled up quite a bit after his return from the Double Dungeon.
Solo Leveling episode 4 preview hints at Sung Jin-Woo acquiring a weapon
By the end of the previous episode, Sung Jin-Woo was left with no weapon to fight off the monsters. However, as evident from the preview images, the protagonist is set to receive a sword from his inventory. It seems like he will unlock the same after reaching a certain level, probably after defeating the steel-fanged Lycan.

After Sung Jin-Woo entered the Instance Dungeon, he took on several goblins, followed by a lycan. Nevertheless, to complete the exploration, he needed to defeat the dungeon boss. In this situation, it seems like it is going to be a large serpent.
The large serpent has been hinted at by the preview images and synopsis. Thus, fans will likely get to witness Sung Jin-Woo fight a Dungeon boss all by himself.

Considering that Sung Jin-Woo might likely win the fight against the large serpent, fans might witness him leveling up, i.e., he might evolve from an E-Rank Hunter to a D-Rank Hunter.

Thus, Sung Jin-Woo might start doing his daily training much more seriously.
