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

Chapter 45 Master
A series of prompts rang in Lin Ye's mind.

[A total of 850 negative emotion points, including anger, resentment, and bitterness, have been collected from Xiong Qihong!]

[A total of 2200 negative emotion points have been collected from Sun Qian, including shock, shame, jealousy, and despair!]

[A total of 2870 points of negative emotions such as fear and awe were collected from onlookers!]

Lin Ye glanced at the mission progress.

From the moment Wang Hao took the stage, it had been more than an hour.

He has accumulated 8050 points of negative emotion!
I'm only 2,000 points away from the 10,000-point requirement for the weekly task.

In addition, Lin Ye discovered an interesting phenomenon.

The negative emotional values ​​provided by Wang Hao, Shen Junhao, and others who actually fought against him were not high.

The real culprits were the onlookers and Sun Qian, the homeroom teacher of Class One.

It seems that the direct combat was just the prelude.

The most effective way to harvest negative emotions is to shatter their pride and perceptions in the most shocking way under the public eye.

That's right, if the Lord kills your opponent in front of everyone now, he will gain an even more exaggerated amount of negative emotion points!

[Make your move! Let these adventurers tremble in your shadow!]

Lin Ye ignored the system's encouragement and simply walked to the edge of the arena, sat down, and rested.

Just then, Principal Wang Zhengguo spoke up.

"In this battle of titans, the challenger, Lin Ye from Class 7 of Senior Three, is the victor!"

Wang Zhengguo's gaze swept across the entire room, carrying an unquestionable air of authority.

"Effective immediately, Lin Ye's ranking on campus is raised to 10th!"

"Xiong Qihong, Zhao Jin, and Wei Feng, who were originally ranked 10th, 11th, and 12th, have swapped their rankings with Lin Yeyuan and dropped to 84th. I hope you will be ashamed and then work hard to get your rankings back!"

"At the same time, according to the rules, all the cultivation resources for the three of you this week will be allocated to Lin Ye!"

The morning's practical lessons continued, but Lin Ye had already achieved his goal.

Just as Lin Ye was about to try to stand up on his own, a large hand pressed down on his shoulder.

"do not move!"

"Your bones are broken, and you still want to move around?"

"I'll take you to the infirmary."

The next second, Lin Ye felt his body lighten, and he was gently lifted up by Chen Meng and carried on his back.

Lin Ye felt a surge of anxiety and quickly began to silently chant in his mind.

"System, can you pause [Disengage and Regenerate Health]?"

If his injuries were to heal at a visible rate, he wouldn't be a genius today, but a monster that would be sliced ​​into pieces!
[Mechanism: Out-of-combat health regeneration is enabled by default, but you can adjust whether it is enabled or not at any time.]

[Current Status: Closed.]

Hearing the system's cold notification tone, Lin Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Meng carried him on his back and walked steadily toward the infirmary, attracting astonished glances from countless students along the way.

"how do you feel?"

As they walked down the street, Chen Meng suddenly spoke, his voice low and deep.

"What do you think?"

Lin Ye lay on Chen Meng's back, remained silent for a moment, and then answered earnestly, "Teacher, I have discovered many of my shortcomings."

"The difference between real combat and sparring on a virtual platform is enormous."

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Chen Meng's lips.

"Oh? What's lacking? Tell me."

"My movement skills are terrible."

Lin Ye recalled his battle with Xiong Qihong, the feeling of being frantically walking on the edge of death, yet always feeling powerless and restrained, and still felt lingering fear.

“Every dodge is like gambling, relying entirely on the body’s instinctive reaction, without any method or system.”

Chen Meng nodded, seemingly unsurprised by the answer. But what he said next stunned Lin Ye.

"You're right, but you're also wrong."

"Your movement technique is indeed your weakness, but it's not something that can be solved by learning a specific set of techniques."

Chen Meng's tone became serious.

"The movement techniques you can buy in Dongjiang are all too rudimentary; learning them would be counterproductive."

"Once you learn it, you will be limited by these rudimentary body techniques."

"At this stage, I prefer that you figure out a movement technique that suits you."

"A path where you don't need to think, you don't need to imitate, your body can make the most correct reaction according to the ever-changing situation of the battle!"

"Once you've become stronger in all aspects and have your own understanding of movement techniques, you can learn a superior movement technique, integrate it, and avoid many detours."

These words cleared the fog in Lin Ye's mind.

He understood instantly.

The so-called "no moves are better than moves" does not mean having no moves, but rather integrating all moves and turning them into the body's instinct!
Sensing the change in Lin Ye's breathing behind him, Chen Meng added, "Starting tomorrow, we'll change our training method."

"In future sparring sessions, I will focus on training your defense and dodging."

"I'll only attack, you only defend."

"When you can last ten minutes against me, your agility will naturally not be a weakness."

Lin Ye nodded.

Chen Meng then asked, "There's one more question, about weapons."

"After today's matches, will you still insist on using a stick?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye fell silent.

He certainly noticed the disadvantages of the stick.

Against an opponent like Xiong Qihong with such extreme defense, his attacks were almost equivalent to scraping.

Even if you replace the wooden stick with an alloy stick, it is still just a long-handled blunt weapon.

If one's strength is not significantly greater than that of their opponent, then armor penetration and lethality are simply insufficient.

He has already invested so much time and energy in the staff technique. If he changes weapons now, wouldn't it be like starting all over again?
Seemingly sensing Lin Ye's hesitation, Chen Meng's voice rang out again.

"Guns and clubs are inseparable."

"The staff is the ancestor of all weapons, but the spear is the king of all weapons!"

"The foundation you build with stick fighting will make it much easier for you to learn to shoot."

Chen Meng's tone carried an undeniable confidence.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

"But don't lose your staff skills either. It's always good to have another martial art."

These few words, though brief, flowed like a warm current, instantly permeating Lin Ye's entire body.

Teach me everything you know.

At this moment, Lin Ye truly understood the weight of this word for the first time.

He finally understood why the title "Master" in ancient times included the word "father".

"teacher……"

Lin Ye's voice was a little hoarse, a thousand words stuck in his throat, but he could only utter these two words.

Chen Meng was taken aback by his sudden emotional outburst, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

He immediately used a reprimand to cover up his discomfort.

"Alright! I just think you have potential, don't get any weird ideas!"

"And don't look at me like that, I don't ask you for anything in return."

"If you get into trouble outside in the future, just don't mention my name!"
