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

Chapter 116 Black Feather Phantom Butterfly
In the live broadcast room, even Dong Dongchen, who was well-informed, stared wide-eyed and his mouth was agape enough to fit an egg.

"What the hell?!"

"Wait, buddy, you know how to use a stick?!"

"666! You're not even going to pretend anymore! We said you were cheating, so you actually showed us how it works!"

Dong Dongchen found it somewhat unbelievable.

But when he saw Lin Ye's stance and skill in using the stick, he realized...

He immediately slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, "He's not just putting on a brave face!"

"He really knows how to use a staff, and you can tell that his skill level is definitely not low!"

"This must be a martial artist who is proficient in both spear and staff techniques, or perhaps he initially learned the staff and later learned the spear?"

"Regardless of the reason, it can only be said that his talent in martial arts is somewhat terrifying!"

At this moment, Lin Ye recalled the words his teacher, Chen Meng, had once said.

On the battlefield, having more skills is never a bad thing.

The more martial arts skills you master, the better your chances of survival.

At this moment, these words became reality.

Even without a gun, he still has a stick!

During this period, although he devoted most of his energy to studying spear techniques, his staff skills had long been ingrained in his bones and had never been neglected!

When Lin Ye switched from gun to stick, his entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change.

With his staff in hand, he was a powerful and unrestrained battlefield overlord who could sweep away thousands of enemies!

A series of heavy blows with immense force!
Although Cheng Shanhe tried his best to raise his shield to block, all the spectators could see that...

This genius, who specializes in defense, clearly lacks experience when facing a master of staff fighting.

He was used to parrying the "point" and "line" attacks of sharp blades, but he was completely unable to adapt to the wide-range "area" attacks of the stick technique!

His rhythm was completely disrupted!
Lin Ye unleashed an incredibly cunning sweeping attack, aiming straight for his lower body.

Cheng Shanhe hurriedly raised his shield and moved it down to block.

However, just as the whistling staff was about to touch the shield, it inexplicably rose upwards!

The real killing blow was to smash his right arm, which was exposed as he lowered his shield!

boom!
A muffled thud, followed by excruciating pain!

Even with his Stone Skin activated, the terrifying internal force contained in that strike still made his entire arm go numb instantly, almost causing him to lose his grip on the shield.

In addition, after more than ten minutes of high-intensity defense, his stamina was indeed nearing its limit.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The switching between heavy sticks and fancy sticks was fluid and effortless in Lin Ye's hands.

Sometimes it feels like Mount Tai pressing down, with unstoppable force.

Sometimes it appears like a gazelle hanging by its horns, leaving no trace.

Cheng Shanhe's defenses were torn apart inch by inch under the relentless onslaught.

Finally, Lin Ye slammed a heavy stick into the center of his shield, the immense force causing him to lose his balance.

The boy slumped to the ground in a sorry state, panting heavily.

Lin Ye took a step forward and leaped into the air.

The long staff in his hand was raised high, carrying the force of a thousand pounds, and then smashed down on his head!
That was a powerful blow!
I'll make you vanish into thin air!

But the stick whistled through the air and finally stopped an inch in front of Cheng Shanhe's forehead.

If this blow had killed him outright, the battle would have ended.

Cheng Shanhe didn't feel that ashamed.

But the opponent was incredibly skilled at controlling the blow, managing to stop it perfectly just as it was about to hit him!

What this means is self-evident!

The wind from the stick ruffled Cheng Shanhe's bangs and also reddened his eyes.

The boy's face was full of grievance and resentment. His eyes reddened, and he cried out in a sob, "You're bullying me!"

"His marksmanship is impressive, but his staff skills are just as good!"

"I'm going back to tell my dad!"

The words have not yet fallen.

Lin Ye flicked his wrist, and the long staff fell.

It gently tapped him on the forehead.

Cheng Shanhe could no longer bear this humiliation.

Log off immediately!

【The battle is over! 】

[Goblin minions win!]

This conflict, which lasted for nearly twenty minutes, finally came to an end.

After a few seconds of dead silence, Dong Dongchen's live stream chat erupted with comments like a volcano.

"Holy crap! We won! A single dog-beating stick took down the Martial Saint's son!"

"This guy is incredibly strong!"

"What's most terrifying isn't his mastery of both spear and staff, it's his stamina!"

"Did you see that? He's been hitting me for almost half an hour, and he's not even out of breath or red in the face? Is he even human?!"

"What kind of stamina is this! Cheng Shanhe is almost exhausted, but he's acting like nothing happened!"

At this moment, Dong Dongchen's eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

If, in the past, when Lin Ye was dominating weaker opponents, all he saw was the word "strong," then...

After watching this duel, he could be fairly certain that Lin Ye's strength was all-encompassing, with no weaknesses or specializations!
Strength, speed, skill, reaction time, stamina...

This is a perfect hexagonal warrior!
This kind of martial artist might not have a high skill ceiling.

Because being a jack-of-all-trades is the same as being a master of none.

But once someone can truly master all the hexagons, reaching a level of expertise or even top-tier proficiency in each area, it's a different story.

That would undoubtedly be a complete monster!

As the battle ended, Dong Dongchen subconsciously glanced at the viewership of the live stream.

The next second, he was completely stunned.

Holy crap, 15 viewers?!

Moreover, this number is skyrocketing at a rate of hundreds per second!
This is the highest level of popularity he has ever achieved since he started broadcasting!

Brother Goblin, you're my lucky star!
Dong Dongchen rubbed his hands excitedly, originally intending to immediately download the recording of the battle and give a recap and commentary on the spot.

But then he saw that Lin Ye's status bar had changed back to "Matching..."

Dong Dongchen could only save the recording first, and then edit a high-quality video after Lin Ye went offline.

He's still hitting!

The next second, when Dong Dongchen saw the ID of Lin Ye's second opponent in the ranking match, he was struck dumb and froze instantly.

"Holy crap?! No way?!"

He jumped up from his chair and practically yelled into the microphone, "Brothers! I'm not kidding this time! The big one! The big one is really coming!"

"Please, please don't leave my live stream, please don't go to the big streamers' channels!"

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with question marks.

What big streamer?

Before the audience could react, the match schedule had already appeared in the center of the screen.

[Goblin Minion (Unranked) VS Thousand Feather Phantom (Rank 5978)]

"???!"

"!!!"

"Holy crap! My Qingxuan? Wasn't she on a nationwide tour? How come she has time to appear on 'Martial Arts Peak'?"

"Qianyu Huanling? Is it really the Qianyu Huanling I know? Or is it a fake ID?!"

"Stop fucking talking! I just came from her livestream! She's streaming too! And she actually got matched with this goblin minion! Her viewership has already surpassed one million!"

"Slip away!"

"See you later, host!"

"I'm going to check on my goddess!"

Dong Dongchen looked at the audience who had suddenly dwindled in number and felt like crying.

This Thousand Feathers Phantom Spirit is practically a legend among the younger generation.

Ye Hongjin, the mother, is the head of the Kunlun Martial Hall and is a master of hidden weapons.

With numerous military exploits, he is one of the few powerful individuals closest to the realm of Martial Saint.

Ye Qingxuan herself, the real person behind the ID Qianyu Huanling, has surpassed her teacher.

She possesses unparalleled beauty and figure, comes from a distinguished family, and has astonishing talent in martial arts.

But her main profession right now is being a top idol who is good at singing and dancing and is popular all over the internet!
In just one year since her debut, she has already gained over five million fans across the internet!
Dong Dongchen realized that his audience was being mercilessly drawn away, so he quickly and shamelessly shouted, "Ahem, brothers, don't go, don't go!"

"I work on the same platform as big stars, and we're just nodding acquaintances in private!"

"Here's what we'll do: I'll just watch her livestream. Whether you watch it here or there, it's the same thing, right?"

After saying that, Dong Dongchen quickly opened Ye Qingxuan's live stream and projected the image onto his own home screen.

Dong Dongchen's move was shameless.

But I must say, it actually works really well; many viewers who were planning to leave stayed instead.

It's true that it doesn't matter where you look at it.

Hello everyone!

In the picture, a girl wearing a training uniform and with a neat high ponytail is facing the camera.

"I've been performing recently, but my family is urging me to keep up with my martial arts, so I have to come online and practice a few rounds every day to keep my combat skills sharp."

The girl had delicate features and fair, translucent skin; every smile and frown exuded captivating charm.

She has a refined and elegant style, with a clean and pure temperament.

But what's most striking is her right eye.

The pupil of that eye was not pure black, but rather displayed a dreamlike rainbow hue.

It seems to contain an entire magnificent starry sky, mysterious and beautiful.

The map has finally loaded.

[This battle map: Moon Palace Battlefield]

Against a magnificent cosmic backdrop, a colossal base built on the surface of the moon slowly emerges.

Through the base's dome, one can see the azure Earth suspended against the dark backdrop of space.

The desolate lunar surface and the distant Milky Way create a visually striking scene.

When Ye Qingxuan saw her opponent, a clear look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Wow, what a handsome young man!

She looked at the Lin Ye figure taking shape on the screen and couldn't help but let out a soft gasp.

"But...why isn't he ranked yet? Ah! Is he playing placement matches?"

"I've been placed in the placement matches?! The system is really giving me too much credit!"

Ye Qingxuan was somewhat surprised.

Less than ten minutes after Ye Qingxuan started her live stream, hundreds of thousands of viewers flooded into the room, and the barrage of comments surged like a tsunami.

Besides the screen full of "sister stickers".

Many sharp-eyed viewers also noticed that Lin Ye was matched with Ye Qingxuan in the ranking match, and the barrage was filled with shock.

During the preparation time for the battle, out of curiosity, Ye Qingxuan instinctively opened Lin Ye's battle record.

The next moment, a string of striking numbers came into view.

[Maximum winning streak: 123]

This number caused Ye Qingxuan, whose pretty face was always adorned with a smile, to show genuine astonishment for the first time.

In Ye Qingxuan's live stream, millions of viewers also saw this number by sharing their screens.

"123 consecutive wins?! Really?"

"I just came from Brother Chen's live stream next door, and I can vouch for it—this record is real! We watched him climb up from a ninety-something-game winning streak with our own eyes!"

"Hiss... I was matched with my Qingxuan in the placement matches. It wasn't a system error, it was the system punishing this freak!"

"This is getting interesting. I initially thought it was just my sister Qingxuan's solo show, but now it seems like a fierce battle between dragons and tigers?"

The countdown starts.

Ye Qingxuan's smile vanished, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness.

She can greet fans and audiences with a smile, which is what an idol should do.

But when it comes to martial arts, she has her own pride and arrogance.

Now, she is a martial artist!
"I'll be the one to end your winning streak."

Countdown, reset to zero.

【The battle begins! 】

Lin Ye was puzzled when he saw that the other party was unarmed and not carrying any weapons.

But the next moment, he saw that the girl opposite him simply waved her hand lightly.

Jingle Bell……

A crisp, melodious sound, like the swaying of a wind chime, rang out.

Nine thin, cicada-wing-like, arc-shaped blades, each about a foot long, appeared out of thin air.

Like a flock of fluttering butterflies, they floated and drifted slowly around her body.

Each feather blade is a deep, dark purple, and its surface is engraved with intricate and simple cloud patterns.

These patterns not only serve a decorative purpose, but are also likely to be more in line with aerodynamic standards.

Under the cool, clear light cast from the dome of the lunar base, the edge of the feather blade reflected the Milky Way, refracting a magnificent brilliance.

This is……

hidden weapon?

The world of martial arts is filled with countless styles and schools.

But the hidden weapon style is definitely an anomaly among anomalies.

Most of these martial artists lack confidence in their close combat skills or have inherent weaknesses, so they turn to pursuing the ultimate long-range attack.

Martial artists who use hidden weapons all pursue precision and mystery.

They are ghosts on the battlefield, assassins walking in the shadows.

A top-notch master of concealed weapons can even take a person's head from a kilometer away.

What made Lin Ye's heart sink was that these feather blades could actually float directly in mid-air.

Could it be that her martial arts spirituality is the legendary, one-in-a-million power of thought?
Just as Lin Ye was pondering, Dong Dongchen had already begun his professional commentary in his live stream.

"Qingxuan's signature weapon, the Black Bird Feather!"

"This isn't some kind of telekinesis; she controls these Xuan Bird feathers using magnetic field lines!"

"However, on the special map of the Moon Palace Battlefield, where the gravity is only one-sixth that of Earth, the effect of manipulating the magnetic threads is amplified infinitely. In practice, it's not much different from using telekinesis!"

"This map is an epic upgrade for Ye Qingxuan!"

No sooner had Dong Dongchen finished speaking than a deadly threat appeared on the battlefield!
Ye Qingxuan's fingertips twitched slightly.

call out!call out!call out!
The nine black bird feathers instantly transformed into nine streams of purple light.

It tore through the thin air of the lunar battlefield, creating a series of rapid, heart-stopping whooshing sounds!
Their speed is incredibly fast!
It was completely incomparable to Cheng Shanhe's previous cumbersome shield blade!

Nine streaks of light drew nine unpredictable and eerie arcs in the air.

They blocked all of Lin Ye's escape routes from all directions.

The scene was as beautiful as a fairy scattering flowers, yet it concealed a deadly danger!
Lin Ye's pupils suddenly contracted.

The spear in his hand transformed into an impenetrable black barrier at that moment.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
A series of rapid and crisp metallic clangs rang out one after another!

Lin Ye stood still, without moving an inch.

The spear in Lin Ye's hand moved like a snake spitting its tongue.

As if it possessed a life of its own, each parry precisely met those elusive purple streaks of light.

Nine attacks and defenses in one second!

This scene left over a million viewers in both live streams momentarily stunned.

"Holy crap! They managed to defend against that?!"

"Is this reaction speed even human? I couldn't even see the trajectory of a feather, and he had already blocked them all!"

However, Lin Ye, at the center of the battlefield, was not at ease at all.

Just to defend against the attacks of these nine black bird feathers, he had to concentrate his mind to the extreme.

Completely focused, they could barely spare a moment to think about how to retaliate.

"Don't think that just because we've defended against the goblin, it's easy. There are clips of Ye Qingxuan's mother, Ye Hongjin, fighting on the battlefield back then, online."

"These top-notch hidden weapon masters have a fighting style that is both elegant and deadly. They seem to be walking leisurely, but they kill people without leaving a trace."

"Their strength may not be great, but their endurance in battle is among the best of all martial artists."

"Cheng Shanhe was exhausted because he had to withstand tremendous impact every time he defended."

"But Qingxuan's Black Bird Feather is controlled by magnetic lines, so she herself consumes almost no energy!"

"The scariest thing is..."

"In my memory, Ye Qingxuan can control far more than just the nine Xuan Bird Feathers in front of me at the same time!"

As if to confirm his words.

On the battlefield, Ye Qingxuan, who had been handling everything with ease and even had a slight smile on her lips, waved her hand once again.

Nine more streaks of purple light, shimmering with deadly brilliance, emerged from behind her and instantly joined the battle!

Eighteen black bird feathers!

The sound of air being torn apart suddenly increased tenfold!
Throughout the entire lunar base, it was as if a torrential rain of blades was falling!

Lin Ye's gaze sank to the bottom at this moment.

Only defending and not attacking is a dead end!
He only had a long spear; he wasn't a god or Buddha with three heads and six arms.

Eighteen black bird feathers attacked from all sorts of unbelievable angles at an extremely terrifying speed.

He could no longer defend as perfectly as he had before.

If this continues, he will be worn down to death, like a kite until he dies!
We must get close!

In a flash, Lin Ye made a decision.

He abandoned his defenses, and his internal energy and blood erupted without reservation in an instant!
boom!
The metal floor beneath his feet was slightly dented by the force of his footsteps.

He charged straight at Ye Qingxuan like a cannonball, ignoring the purple blades that were about to hit her!
However, he ultimately underestimated the impact of this map on him.

The low gravity on the lunar surface allowed him to travel several times faster than he would on Earth.

However, his control over his body also momentarily lost its balance.

Just as he charged forward, Ye Qingxuan seemed to have foreseen his trajectory.

The girl's figure was like a startled butterfly.

With a light and effortless leap, she drifted more than ten meters to the side and rear, perfectly avoiding Lin Ye's earth-shattering charge.

Lin Ye's body, propelled by inertia, went too far ahead.

"Hey, young man, why couldn't you stop in time?"

Ye Qingxuan's playful voice rang out, tinged with a sly chuckle.

For powerful warriors of this era, fighting among the stars is not unusual.

Almost all the maps in "Martial Arts Peak" are derived from real-world environments or environments that were once battlefields.

Ye Qingxuan is clearly better adapted to fighting in this low-gravity environment.

Lin Ye ignored the other party's taunts. He forcibly steadied himself, sensing the speed and distance of the burst of power just now, as well as the body's response.

His brain was frantically collecting data and analyzing how to adjust his movements and power generation techniques in this unfamiliar gravity environment.

But this attempt came at a price.

puff!puff!puff!
Seven or eight black bird feathers pierced deeply into various parts of his body!
34!
-
41!
-
29!

A series of damage numbers floated up above Lin Ye's head.

It's still just a minor injury that breaks the skin.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan's eyes were also filled with surprise.

"Huh? Such high defense! Young man, have you been practicing some kind of body-strengthening technique?"

"but……"

A mysterious smile curved at the corners of the girl's lips.

"My Black Bird Feather is not as simple as it seems."

Lin Ye noticed it as well, of course.

A faint but distinct feeling of numbness and weakness was rapidly spreading from the wound throughout my body.

On these black bird feathers...

It's been poisoned!
[Exogenous toxins detected in your body. You have been temporarily debuffed: Paralysis (nerve reaction speed reduced by 20%)!]

[External toxins detected in your body. You have received a temporary debuff: Weakness (strength reduced by 20%)!]

[Exogenous toxin detected in your body. You have received a temporary debuff: Poison Wound (loss of 30 health points per second)!]

A series of system notifications popped up in front of Lin Ye's eyes.

In the live stream, Dong Dongchen watched this scene, shook his head helplessly, and sighed deeply.

"It's over."

"Although in formal offline competitions, all contestants who use concealed weapons are strictly prohibited from poisoning them."

"But the virtual battles in 'Martial Arts Peak' simulate real combat to the greatest extent possible."

"In a real life-or-death struggle, it would be foolish not to poison your hidden weapons."

"Qingxuan's martial arts foundation is also extremely solid. Don't think that she can only attack from a distance. Even if she gets into close combat, her martial arts skills are definitely not weak."

"not to mention……"

"She also possesses the martial arts spirit of 'Phantom Butterfly,' which perfectly complements her fighting style."

"Did everyone see the dreamy rainbow colors in her right eye?"

"That wasn't innate, but rather an acquired martial arts spirituality formed when her mother, Ye Hongjin, used the extremely rare blood of the Illusionary Butterfly Clan among the Tianyuan alien races to cleanse her eyes during her childhood!"

"This eye allows her to continuously project a faint hypnotic wave of mental energy onto her opponent during battle!"

"This fluctuation will subtly affect the opponent's perception of distance and speed, and even their judgment of the timing of the battle!"

"Faced with an overwhelming barrage of hidden weapons, even a moment's misjudgment can be fatal!"

"Environmental restraint, fighting style restraint, poisoned weapons, plus an unpredictable mental interference-type martial arts spirituality..."

"I really, really can't figure out how Brother Goblin can win this round."

Dong Dongchen took a deep breath, almost as if he were pronouncing a death sentence for Lin Ye.
