Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 10 Practical Training: New Mechanisms
The cultivation of martial arts and weapons is divided into four realms.

The first stage is resemblance in form.

The vast majority of students are at the stage of simply copying a cat's movements and achieving standard accuracy.

The second stage is when intentions align.

When the mind and intention are in harmony, the intention and energy are in harmony, and the energy and strength are in harmony.

The moves are no longer rigid actions, but have their own charm and intention, allowing for free movement and precise force exertion.

Students who reach this level have all cultivated themselves from a young age and also need to have sufficient comprehension.

Chen Meng knew about Lin Ye's background.

His family was very poor, and it was a struggle to support him to study martial arts.

It's impossible for me to have participated in any extracurricular tutoring classes.

Then there is only one possibility.

This kid in front of me is truly gifted in the art of stick fighting!
He decided.

He had to personally carve this rough gem to see what its true quality was!

"Everyone has it!"

Chen Meng's voice broke the silence in the venue.

"Free sparring, let's begin!"

Before he finished speaking, he stepped off the platform.

The figure flickered slightly in mid-air, and the next moment, it appeared in front of Lin Ye.

All the students were stunned.

Chen Meng ignored the others, his gaze fixed intently on Lin Ye, and said in a deep voice, "Your staff technique should have already grasped a bit of the knack."

"However, true martial arts skills are honed in life-or-death battles."

"Come on, let's have a fight."

As he spoke, Chen Meng's virtual avatar data began to adjust rapidly.

The blood-red "LV37" mark on his head faded and fell off at a visible speed.

LV15…LV10…LV5…

In the end, it steadily remained at "LV2"!
Their levels are exactly the same as Lin Ye's at this moment!
That's the good thing about virtual space; if two people don't want to compete in terms of raw strength, but only want to spar in terms of martial arts skills...

The system can then perfectly control the strength of the two players to be at the same level.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of light appeared.

A long spear, entirely silver-white with a tip gleaming with a chilling light, appeared in Chen Meng's hand.

The atmosphere in the entire venue was instantly ignited!
"Holy crap! Teacher Chen is going to personally guide Lin Ye!"

"Teacher Chen has suppressed his own strength to be the same as Lin Ye's!"

"Teacher Chen's weapon is a gun! It is said that he was famous for his skill with the Dragon Gallant Spear when he was in the army!"

Just as Chen Meng drew his spear, his momentum reached its peak.

In Lin Ye's mind, the cold system notification arrived as scheduled.

【Ding! 】

[A high-level adventurer's provocation has been detected!]

This is your first official battle as the BOSS!

[Urgent mission issued: Fight or die!]

[Mission Requirements: Survive the attacks of adventurer Chen Meng for more than one minute, or inflict effective damage on him.]

[Mission Rewards: 150 Experience Points, 1 Skill Point, Unlock New Mechanism: Soul Forge!]

Please note: This is a unique quest that will not be triggered again.

[Note: Crush him! Let this arrogant adventurer know who the real challenger is!]

See this scene.

The top students in several classes also looked extremely serious.

They knew very well what it meant to receive personal "skills training" from Chen Meng.

That's a form of recognition!
The most numerous legends about Chen Meng can be found throughout the entire No. 1 Middle School.

No one knows his past.

But all I know is that even the principal is polite to him.

Some even rumored that his strength was considerable even within the entire Dongjiang region, but due to a hidden injury sustained in a battle with alien races in his early years, he was unable to fight at full strength, which ultimately led him to retire to a less prominent position and become a martial arts instructor. Chen Meng had never given any private lessons to anyone.

But at this moment, although it was called a duel, everyone knew that Chen Meng intended to give Lin Ye pointers.

Feelings of envy and jealousy began to arise in the hearts of several top students.

What makes him so special, this nobody?
Regardless of what others think, this battle is about to begin.

In the center of the venue.

Lin Ye gripped the long staff tightly, feeling the warm, smooth texture emanating from its shaft.

My heart was beating wildly in my chest.

Adrenaline was released in a frenzy.

Lin Ye's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

He could sense that Chen Meng's aura had changed.

No longer the stern teacher who almost never smiled and always had a blank face.

It was a gun.

A spear that has drunk blood and witnessed life and death!
That invisible pressure, even through the virtual data, still stung his skin.

"Are you ready?"

Lin Ye gripped the long staff in his hand and replied, "Please instruct me, teacher!"

next moment.

Chen Meng made his move!

There were no fancy moves, no unnecessary probing.

With a single step, the man followed the gun, a silver light tearing through the air, piercing straight for Lin Ye's throat!
fast!
quasi!
ruthless!
This shot, imbued with the ruthless intent of battle forged through countless trials, sealed off all of Lin Ye's escape routes.

All the students watching felt their hearts clench.

They could almost see Lin Ye being shot through the throat and disappearing into data points.

However, just as the tip of the gun was about to touch the skin...

Lin Ye's eyes suddenly narrowed!
【Staff Stance - Heavy Staff Style!】

He didn't dodge, because there wasn't enough time.

Instead, he took the same step forward, using his waist and back to generate power, channeling his qi and blood into his arms, and suddenly flicked the long staff in his hand upwards!
The long staff drew a powerful arc, fiercely meeting the deadly spear tip head-on!

clang--!
The deafening clang of metal exploding within the stadium!

Lin Ye felt an immense force coming from the stick, which made his hands go numb and caused him to uncontrollably stagger back several steps.

Chen Meng, however, only swayed slightly before regaining his footing.

Sit down!

But it blocked it!
Lin Ye actually managed to block Chen Meng's shot!
The entire audience was stunned!

"Holy crap! It blocked it?"

"What a quick reaction..."

Only Lin Ye's expression darkened.

The gap is too big.

If this were a real life-or-death struggle on the battlefield, Chen Meng's spear tip would have already pierced his heart the moment he lost his balance.

Now, Teacher Chen has not continued his attack.

That shot just now was merely a test.

A look of surprise flashed in Chen Meng's eyes.

His shot, seemingly simple, actually contained three layers of force; an ordinary student would have their stick sent flying.

Ke Linye not only caught it, but also used a pure force-based fighting style.

interesting.

"Come again!"

Chen Meng let out a low shout, and his spear stance suddenly changed.

The once straight and powerful spear seemed to transform into a silver dragon in his hands, with countless spear shadows flying up and down, enveloping Lin Ye from all directions!

Combining speed and slowness, reality and illusion!
Every move was as fast as lightning, with extremely tricky angles, and every move was aimed at Lin Ye's vital points.

This is real battlefield marksmanship, devoid of any aesthetic appeal; its sole purpose is to kill!
Faced with this relentless onslaught, Lin Ye felt immense pressure.
