“Quit your nonsense!”
Nian Liuyun’s face was extremely gloomy as he stamped his feet and executed [Crushing Blow]. He was all fired up to catch Wang Yu.
Wang Yu’s weapon in his hand changed to a long pole as he swung it downwards. He struck Nian Liuyun’s left leg as he stopped Nian Liuyun’s momentum. Following that, Wang Yu jumped and gave three consecutive kicks on Nian Liuyun’s face which forced him to step backwards.
Nian Liuyun, who was trampled on, felt fear in his heart. He had never expected Wang Yu to be so much stronger than him. Even without using any skills, Wang Yu was able to get the better of him so easily.
After landing back on the ground, “First of all, your job made you forget about your original status! Using that against me? Are you treating every enemy as a stationary target?”
Nian Liuyun was astonished when he heard that. Because of the focus of a Grasping Fighter, many players wouldn’t last a single round against Nian Liuyun. Even a BOSS would be controlled firmly by the grappling skill. As for PVE matters, Hidden Lurker would always settle it for him.
Therefore, Nian Liuyun became more reliant on his job skill and neglected his own skills. He was gradually turning an agile PVP job into an inflexible and outmoded one.
Wang Yu charged over while reprimanding him. As before, Nian Liuyun raised his arms to welcome him as though he was really eager to trap Wang Yu in his arms to trample on him. This time, Wang Yu didn’t even use his pole as he simply shifted his body to dodge Nian Liuyun’s arms. With a kick to Nian Liuyun’s knee, he fell to the ground involuntarily.
“Secondly, the suppressive nature of the skill made you neglect the weakness of this job. Did you really believe you can defeat me? You won’t be able to defeat me even if you train for a few more years!” Wang Yu said.
As a Grasping Fighter, his strength and ability were entirely dependent on his arms. If he managed to grasp the opponent with his arms, it would be game over for the opponent. Even so, no matter how godly the Grasping Fighter was, he wouldn’t be able to grasp someone using his legs right… Against ordinary gamers or BOSS, Nian Liuyun could easily kill and torture them. Against a true expert like Wang Yu, neglecting the slightest of details would result horrible consequences.
“You… How dare you look down on me?” Nian Liuyun was both embarrassed and infuriated at Wang Yu’s ridicule. He had always been a person with a lot of self-esteem. Presently, falling to the ground because of Wang Yu coupled with Wang Yu’s public reprimand made him exceedingly wrathful.
Amidst his rage, Nian Liuyun got into a squat position with both hands on the ground. With some momentum, his legs were off the ground as he used [The Lion Leaps at the Rabbit].
Wang Yu sighed as he shook his head. With his afterimage clone, he blocked the attack while his real body jumped above Nian Liuyun. He executed [Eagle Stomp] with one leg landing on Nian Liuyun’s head while the other landed on his back. The next one was on his butt. Nian Liuyun was trampled so badly that he ended up laying flat on the ground.
Wang Yu took a step forward as he stepped on Nian Liuyun’s shoulder and continue with his speech, “Because of the high judgement of the system’s skills, you neglect and forget about the exquisite nature of your clan’s kung fu. If you return to the past, you might be able to have a good fight against me. Now, you’re basically useless!”
It was commendable for the designers of the game to create so many skills for the Pugilists. However, in the eyes of a true kung fu clan, these skills were extremely basic. The only notable point was that the skills were approved by the system. No matter how exquisite a person’s kung fu was, it was merely in terms of manipulation. They would never be able to match the system’s extremely impressive judgement.
Among all the jobs, a Grasping Fighter had the highest judgement. Naturally, Nian Liuyun was immersed in the high judgement provided by the system and was unable to free himself. He had completely forgotten about his own original impressive manipulation skills. He was no different from any other fools with poor judgement.
The present Nian Liuyun was, at the very most, a high-end gamer who managed to attain a hidden job. On the other hand, Wang Yu was a true expert who combined the game’s skills with his own kung fu. If Nian Liuyun continued to play the game in this manner, the difference between him and Wang Yu would only increase exponentially. In fact, this could even affect his real life cultivation and this was also known as losing one’s roots. Hence, by calling him useless, Wang Yu wasn’t speaking off the cuff.
“I… What should I do?” While Nian Liuyun was infuriated that he was reprimanded by Wang Yu while being stepped on, he started to think about Wang Yu’s words. Wang Yu’s every sentence made sense and he was no longer trying to refute. At this moment, he had completely forgotten about his own predicament as he pleaded Wang Yu for advice.
“Stay focus and achieve mastery through comprehensive study. Understand?” Wang Yu asked.
“I understand…” A stupefied Nian Liuyun nodded.
“It’s good as long as you understand! Take care!’ Wang Yu lifted his leg and used [Thunder God’s Stomp] on Nian Liuyun’s head. Nian Liuyun was instantly turned into white light.
All the Nian Liuyun’s fans around were completely dazed at what they just witnessed… Every single one of them took a long time before coming to their senses.
“I think Great God Liuyun is defeated…” One of the fans was still doubting what he just witnessed.
“Yes, but it is not just a defeat. He was completely dominated…” Yet another person was still in disbelief.
The truth was that even Nian Liuyun himself never imagined that there was such a vast difference in strength between himself and Wang Yu. During the earlier battle, the number of times Wang Yu used a skill could be counted with the number of fingers on one hand.
Even so, he was able to beat Nian Liuyun up so badly that he would rather admit defeat eventually… This was something all the Nian Liuyun’s fans were unable to accept.
“Speaking of which, did you manage to record that?”
The battle between the two sets of fans was like fire against water. In such a rare occasion when the two experts went up against one another, someone definitely had to record the fight. However, nobody expected Nian Liuyun to fall to such a devastating defeat.
“Yes, I did and it is still on live stream…”
In <<REBIRTH>>, the gameplay itself and forum were directly connected. The more people viewed a video, the more benefits the person who uploaded it would obtain. This was the fight between two of the greatest Pugilists in the game. If this was on live-stream, the number of viewers would be astronomical. None of the people here was a fool so who wouldn’t want to earn some extra money… Therefore, almost 90% of the fans here were recording this battle live.
“…”
Wang Yu was not one who would bother about fame and reputation. Naturally, he didn’t care about the gossips of the crowd. Instead, he turned around and started looking for the originator of all evil, Hidden Lurker.
In Wang Yu’s eyes, it didn’t matter to him whether he kill Nian Liuyun. However, even killing Hidden Lurker a hundred times would not be able to appease Wang Yu’s anger towards him.
However, when he turned to look at Hidden Lurker, Wang Yu was in shock.
The Archer called Little Meng was actually not dead yet. As she was exchanging blows with Hidden Lurker, it almost seemed like she was gaining the upper hand.
Without mentioning Hidden Lurker’s character, he was considered relatively strong. Moreover, he had an advantage in terms of jobs. The fact that Little Meng was able to fight against Hidden Lurker in this manner made Wang Yu incredibly surprised.
Mage and Archers were both jobs with high offense and weak defense. Any battle between these two jobs would usually end within two to three rounds. After such a long fight, this made Wang Yu realised that there was so much more to know about these two jobs. Therefore, Wang Yu scratched his chin and started observing the fight.
On closer observation, Wang Yu realised that Little Meng was not only gaining the upper hand but actually dominating the fight… This was because her fighting method was exceedingly strange.
While it seemed like the two of them were in a close fight, Wang Yu’s judgement was on another level. He could tell that Hidden Lurker’s moves and steps were all under Little Meng’s control. If it wasn’t because of her low output damage, Hidden Lurker would have been dead a long time ago.
