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

Chapter 35 Goblin Warriors

The final match begins.

The map still shows the familiar abandoned city square.

As the countdown to the start of the battle reached zero, Zhou Kai wore a playful smile. For more than two hours, he had indeed experienced the exhilarating feeling of endlessly crushing weaker opponents.

However, this time, things seem a little different.

The sandbag with the ID "Goblin Soldier" above its head just stood there quietly, but the aura and feeling it gave off were completely different.

It was a terrifying expression, like someone making a final, desperate attempt to defeat an opponent they had to defeat.

Zhou Kai's expression changed.

"you……"

The word had just been uttered.

Lin Ye's figure disappeared.

There are no fancy footwork or strange movements, just the purest and most primitive straight-line charge!
Lin Ye transformed into a black afterimage, accompanied by a shockwave that could tear everything apart, and instantly traversed more than ten meters to appear in front of Zhou Kai!

So fast!

A blurry image appeared before my eyes, but the gust of wind had already reached me.

It was so fast that even Zhou Kai's thinking couldn't keep up with this extreme speed!

He had no time to react and could only rely on his most basic fighting instincts to deal with danger, holding the sword across his chest.

Lin Ye brought his staff down.

Heavy stick strike, all out!

This strike contained nothing but pure power and catharsis!
clang--! ! !
A deafening metallic clang, as if it could rip off eardrums, exploded above the clash of their weapons!

Zhou Kai felt as if he was blocking not a stick, but a collapsing mountain!
An indescribable, irresistible, terrifying force surged wildly into his body along the blade.

He could no longer hold the sword in his hand; it slipped from his grasp and spun into the sky.

He was hit head-on by a speeding truck, his feet left the ground, and he flew backward, crashing heavily into an abandoned armored vehicle dozens of meters away!
With a loud bang, the sturdy armored vehicle was dented and a huge humanoid shape was formed!

"puff--"

Zhou Kai spat out a jet of blood. The pain in his virtual body made his vision go black and his mind go blank.

How can it be?
what happened? !
Zhou Kai was not on drugs today.

Lin Ye was also somewhat shocked that he possessed such terrifying combat power when he exerted his full strength.

It seems he limited himself.

He underestimated the steady increase in his various attribute values ​​every day during this period.

The qualitative change resulting from quantitative change and the overwhelming numerical superiority that he had been hoping for have finally arrived!

Zhou Kai's pride and confidence were shattered by that blow.

At the same time, he finally understood.

These two hours...

No, it should be said that for the past two weeks or so, Lin Ye has been teasing him.

And now it's the final round.

I have lost my value.

See you in the picture!

Lin Ye didn't give Zhou Kai a chance to think it over further.

The figure disappeared again.

Time to end.

All the pent-up frustration in Lin Ye's heart was released at this moment.

For the past three weeks, his leveling efficiency has been limited due to the nature of his cultivation technique.

Even when trying to outmaneuver a level 8 elite monster, he almost lost his life on the spot.

He had fought countless times against this "genius" whose strength had previously far surpassed his own.

Loss, loss, loss.

He has never won.

But at this moment, the roles of strong and weak have reversed.

He raised the long stick and brought it down hard on Zhou Kai's head!

This blow was Lin Ye's final outburst!

The wind from the stick hit his face, and a feeling of fear began to grow in Zhou Kai's heart.

For the first time, he felt the chilling killing intent and the murderous aura in Lin Ye's moves.

He wanted to hide, but his body wouldn't obey him.

He wanted to use his backup cheat again, but it was too late.

boom!
The stick falls.

The world was plunged into darkness.

[Battle Over!] [You have won!]

[Host has completed the second stage of the advanced mission!]

[Task Completion: 2/2!]

[Congratulations, host! You have completed the racial advancement quest: Goblin Warrior!]

[Your race template has been upgraded from Goblin Soldier to Goblin Warrior!]

Your overall attribute growth rate has been increased to 1.25!

You have unlocked a brand new racial skill: Charged Strike!

[Your level cap for all Phase 1 skills has been increased to LV10!]

A series of system notifications rang in Lin Ye's mind.

The next second, a torrent of life, far more powerful and vast than any previous upgrade, erupted from the depths of his soul!
Lin Ye exited the virtual space.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

pain!
A pain that originates from the soul!

He felt his body undergoing a complete transformation!

Every muscle fiber is being forcibly torn apart, and then reassembled in a more resilient and powerful way!

The density and hardness of bones are increasing dramatically!
His blood surged like molten lava in his veins, and each heartbeat was like the beating of a war drum!

This is a leap that is almost at the level of life itself!

Fortunately, this change came quickly and went quickly.

Just one minute later.

When everything calmed down, Lin Ye slowly opened his palm and clenched his fist.

An explosive sense of power filled his entire body.

He could clearly feel that he had become stronger, and in a completely different way!

Lin Ye opened his personal panel.

[Host: Lin Ye]

[Race: Goblin Warrior]

[Level: LV8 (132/2500)]

[HP: 1012/1012]

[Energy: 288/288]

Stamina: 551/551

[BOSS Mechanics: Out-of-Combat Healing (White), Soul Forge (Green), Crushing Blow (Green)]

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

【Strength: 40.2】

[Agility: 39.1]

[Endurance: 45.2]

【Spirit: 26.5】

[Free attribute points: 0]

Skill Points: 0

[Skills: Normal Attack (LV5), Thick Skin (LV4), Staff Stance (LV5), Charged Strike (LV1)]

Because of the racial advancement, the growth rate increased from 1 to 1.25, resulting in a 25% increase in all of Lin Ye's previous stat points, causing another surge in all attributes.

In particular, stamina and health, with the 1.4x growth rate bonus from [Thick Skin], have directly broken through to a new level!

Lin Ye was suddenly taken aback.

He discovered a blind spot in the BOSS mechanics.

[Crush!]
This is a hidden achievement reward obtained after killing the LV8 elite black panther.

He was so sleepy that he forgot to check.

Lin Ye clicked on the detailed introduction of [Crush].

[Crushing (Green): You are an unassailable tyrant in the eyes of lower-ranking creatures. The BOSS's authority cannot be challenged. You possess absolute dominance over the weak.]

[Effect: Your final damage against monsters and adventurers of a lower level than yours is increased by 20%, while the final damage they deal to you is reduced by 20%.]

Monsters and adventurers of a lower level than you will experience continuous pressure when facing you. If you break through their psychological defenses, there is a chance they will suffer negative status effects, or even lose their will to fight.

Lin Ye's breath hitched slightly as he looked at the two effects.

He recalled countless nights when he was tortured to the point of near death by the BOSS.

Ultimately, this mechanism is the same as the "level suppression" concept found in most games.

Since my level is higher than yours, I can crush you in every way!
