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

Chapter 11 The Power of the Brawler
Although the heavy stick technique was powerful and heavy, it ultimately lost its agility and could not keep up with Chen Meng's speed at all.

In an instant, Lin Ye's thoughts raced.

[Staff Stance Switching - Flower Stick Style!]

The style of the long staff in his hand changed abruptly.

It was no longer a heavy, powerful strike, but transformed into a whirlwind, creating a sky full of stick shadows.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

The dense clattering sounds, like rain pattering on banana leaves, blended together.

Lin Ye's figure moved and dodged constantly amidst the shadows of spears, his long staff striking each spear tip that Chen Meng thrust at with incredible speed and frequency.

He completely abandoned the offensive and devoted all his energy to defense.

Water cannot get in!

Watertight!

Everyone was stunned.

If the clash just now demonstrated Lin Ye's astonishing strength, then...

At this moment, what he displayed was a stick-fighting skill and reaction speed that they could not understand!

Even a discerning person could see that the homeroom teacher, Chen Meng, had thrown out a huge amount of nonsense.

But they knew they couldn't achieve what Lin Ye had reached.

"This...this is basic staff fighting?"

"How can he wield that stick so fast? It's like a windmill!"

A smile appeared on Chen Meng's lips.

He confirmed his suspicions.

Judging from the way this kid wielded the stick, he must have reached the realm of perfect harmony.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The one-minute limit has long been crossed.

[Ding! Emergency mission "Fight or Die" has been completed!]

You have gained: 150 experience points and 1 skill point!

[New mechanic unlocked: Soul Forge!]

The system notification sounded in his mind, but Lin Ye dared not be distracted in the slightest.

Because he could sense that Chen Meng's attacks had become even more ferocious!
"Well done."

Chen Meng's voice rang out again, this time with a hint of genuine approval.

"But it's too formulaic and too easy to see through."

The moment the words left his mouth, Chen Meng's gunfire intensified once more!
The spear in his hand was no longer simply fast, but also possessed a rhythm.

A heart-pounding rhythm of life and death!
Sometimes it's like a torrential downpour, sometimes like a gentle spring breeze, and sometimes like a venomous snake spitting its tongue—insidious and deadly.

Combining speed and slowness, strength and gentleness!
Lin Ye's defensive perimeter was instantly breached!
laugh!
A gust of wind from the gun grazed his cheek, bringing a burning pain.

Cold sweat beaded on Lin Ye's forehead.

He knew he couldn't keep up.

Chen Meng only slightly increased the water temperature, and he couldn't withstand it anymore.

This is something that cannot be made up for in a short period of time through talent and hard work.

How to do?
Fighting head-on is suicide.

Holding out to the death is also a form of death.

Since death is inevitable either way...

Then we'll find a way to survive in the chaos!

【Staff Stance - Chaotic Stance!】

To everyone's astonishment, Lin Ye's previously meticulous staff technique instantly collapsed!
The long stick in his hand became haphazard and illogical.

Sometimes he would strike Chen Meng on the head, sometimes he would sneak up on him from behind, and sometimes he would even use the end of the stick to poke Chen Meng's ankle!
It's exactly like a street thug fight!

However, this seemingly absurd fighting style caused Chen Meng's smooth and flowing marksmanship to falter slightly.

Because he couldn't predict Lin Ye's next move.

They were also shocked by Lin Ye's seemingly chaotic yet effective stick technique.

The moment that slight pause appeared.

Lin Ye seized the opportunity, let out a loud shout, and swung the long stick in his hand at an unexpected angle, smashing it into Chen Meng's right wrist, which was holding the gun!
This blow was completely unexpected.

Chen Meng's expression changed slightly.

He didn't have time to change his move, so he could only lower his wrist and use the gun to block.

clang!
Another loud noise!
Chen Meng was actually forced to take half a step back by this blow!
Although the defenses were still not breached, this was the first time Chen Meng had retreated since the start of the battle!

The whole place was dead silent.

Everyone seemed to be frozen in place, completely still.

Won?

No.

Lin Ye forced Chen Meng back with a single blow, but his excessive force exposed a huge opening. This time, Chen Meng didn't hold back.

He released the butt of the gun with his left hand, and with lightning speed, he reached out and grabbed the middle of the gun, instantly turning the long gun into a short gun.

A flick of the wrist.

A flash of silver light disappeared in an instant.

Lin Ye felt a blur before his eyes, and a chilling sensation pressed against his throat.

The tip of the gun remained perfectly still, without the slightest deviation.

The outcome has been decided.

Lin Ye was drenched in sweat.

To fight against a martial artist of this level, even if they are of the same cultivation level.

All of this made Lin Ye feel a chill run down his spine.

The pressure is just too much!

But the rewards were extraordinary!
Lin Ye sheathed the long staff behind his back and bowed to Chen Meng with utmost respect.

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher!"

Chen Meng slowly retracted his spear.

The oppressive, suffocating aura of killing intent dissipated as a result.

He reverted to being the stern and unsmiling homeroom teacher.

"Who taught you your stick fighting skills?"

Chen Meng asked in a deep voice.

He simply couldn't understand how the "Basic Stick Techniques" popularized by the Federation could possibly produce such results.

Especially that unpredictable, chaotic brawl at the end—it was something I'd never heard of before.

"Teacher, I just figured it out on my own."

He can't very well say that it was my goblin system that taught me, can he?

Chen Meng gave Lin Ye a deep look, but didn't ask any further questions.

In the path of martial arts, everyone has their own opportunities and secrets.

Those who are talented are always different from others.

"Not bad, keep up the good work."

This simple sentence is the highest praise for students who know his personality.

He turned around, his gaze sweeping across the entire room, his voice regaining its usual authority.

"Did you see everything?"

"There are no shortcuts to martial arts training; only through rigorous training and tempering!"

"But there's no fixed formula either! True strength lies in breaking conventions and forging your own path!"

"Lin Ye, I've taught you all a lesson today!"

"get out of class is over!"

After saying that, Chen Meng's figure turned into specks of light and exited the virtual space.

As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the entire venue seemed to thaw and instantly exploded!

Countless gazes turned to Lin Ye, filled with curiosity, awe, and a desire to explore.

"Ah Ye, you were fucking awesome today!"

"This is the first time I've ever seen Chen Laohu praise someone!"

Li Jun was the first to rush over, excitedly nudging Lin Ye with his elbow.

"When did you become so fierce, kid? You were hiding it for so long!"

Lin Ye simply smiled and offered no explanation.

His entire focus was on his system panel.

[Host: Lin Ye]

[Race: Goblin]

[Level: LV2 (162/400)]

[BOSS Mechanics: Out-of-combat Health Regeneration (White), Soul Forge (Green)]

[Current stage: P1, other stages are not yet unlocked]

[Free attribute points: 1]

Skill Points: 2

One battle, 150 experience points and 1 skill point earned!

Indeed, facing someone stronger than yourself yields far more experience than practicing alone.

It seems that fighting against stronger opponents is the fastest way for a BOSS to level up!

His gaze finally settled on that brand-new mechanism.
