The exhaustion of mana from rolling around under the system was extremely high. While Wang Yu was already doing his best to control himself from using that much of the skill, the recovery of mana was still unable to catch up with the rate of exhaustion. Even though Wang Yu was still able to dodge the God of Puppets’ attacks now, a player’s mana would never be comparable to a BOSS’s. It was only a matter of time before his mana would be entirely drained by the BOSS.
Naturally, 9527 understood Wang Yu’s predicament. As Wang Yu watched his depleting MP, he was increasingly anxious.
However, when God of Puppets moved his hands to attack Wang Yu again, Wang Yu’s expression changed as he swung his right arm forward to throw a dagger towards the God of Puppets.
When 9527 saw Wang Yu digging into his bag to throw something at God of Puppets, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “What is he doing? Why?”
A BOSS’s weapons and skills were all pre-determined by the system. This was without mentioning the fact that the Holy Sparkle was immune to attacks. Even if the attack was effective, wasn’t throwing a dagger at the BOSS in this manner a little too childish?
At this moment, Wang Yu’s dagger had already flown to the front of the God of Puppets. Just as the dagger was about to touch the God of Puppets’ face, the God of Puppets paused slightly to swing his sword to send Wang Yu’s dagger flying in the other direction.
“Haha, I told you it was useless.” 9527 laughed out loud as he said disdainfully. Playing such small tricks on the BOSS was simply insulting the IQ of the game designers.
“Hehe!”
When Wang Yu saw the God of Puppets deflect the dagger, he wasn’t too surprised. Instead, he even let out a smile before throwing yet another dagger.
“Not giving up?” 9527 saw what Wang Yu did and was surprised once again. What a stubborn fella!
The second dagger was also deflected by the BOSS and when Wang Yu took out the third dagger, 9527 started to feel uneasy. Why is a Pugilist hiding so many daggers?
Shortly after, the fourth, the fifth…
“F*ck! This kid is restricting Webster!”
When Wang Yu threw the seventh dagger, 9527 suddenly realised Wang Yu’s intention. Wang Yu’s daggers were not thrown in vain. In fact, he was approaching the BOSS with purpose.
When the God of Puppets used his sword to deflect the dagger, the two arms used to execute the long-ranged attack would stop the attacks. This way, God of Puppets’ seven consecutive long-ranged attacks were interrupted by the daggers. Without the long-ranged attacks, Wang Yu lost any threat to his life.
Even so, Wang Yu wasn’t idling around while he threw the daggers. With every dagger thrown, he would take a step forward. After throwing seven daggers, he was only less than five metres away from the BOSS.
“This, this fella’s observational skill… Terrifying.” 9527 would never expect that the obstruction of the God of Puppets’ limbs to be the small gap exploited by Wang Yu to breakthrough. What made 9527 even more shocked was the fact that Wang Yu merely exchanged less than 10 blows with the God of Puppets. In fact, it wasn’t even an exchange of blows. Wang Yu was constantly the passive one and avoiding the attacks. In such a situation, he was still able to figure out the breakthrough point. His ability to figure such things out under extreme pressure was simply outrageous.
While 9527 was still in amazement, the God of Puppets’ eighth dagger was deflected. This time, Wang Yu didn’t throw another dagger. Instead, he threw out his Flying Dragon Rope.
The Flying Dragon Rope’s main body was still a rope. When it was struck by the God of Puppets’ sword, it wasn’t sent flying in another direction. Instead, it looped around the massive cross blade.
The God of Puppets pulled his blade back vigorously as Wang Yu was dragged to the front. While being dragged to the front, Wang Yu’s left hand made use of the inertia to pierce through the God of Puppets’ neck.

The damage number appeared and the God of Puppets’ HP decreased slightly.
After Wang Yu entered the God of Puppets’ range of attack, the God of Puppets instantly changed to his close combat mode as he raised his spear to attack Wang Yu.
Wang Yu kept his cool as he lifted his left hand as his sword was first to reach the God of Puppets’ upper waist. When the God of Puppets’ spear was only halfway towards Wang Yu, his wrist was first slashed by Wang Yu’s sword. Following that, Wang Yu shifted slightly to the side as the spear swept across him.

Conservation of energy holds in this situation. Even though Wang Yu didn’t use any of his strength or energy, the energy of the God of Puppets was not little. This clash of momentum resulted in a large damage done on the God of Puppets again.
Even after getting hit, the God of Puppets had no intention to stop. Spears after spears of attacks were swept towards Wang Yu as he dodged every single one of them. His left hand was constantly looking for an opportunity to attack too.
Just then, at the instant the God of Puppets’ spear swept past Wang Yu, Wang Yu’s body suddenly unfollowed the usual routine as he floated to the other side of the God of Puppets. On his way to the other side, the sword in his left hand streaked across the God of Puppets’ throat.
Wang Yu’s right hand was tied to the God of Puppets’ blade. Therefore, when the God of Puppets swung his spear, his blade would move in the opposite direction. Just like that, Wang Yu avoided the Holy Spear’s attack again.

Yet another damage done. This time, 9527 was already on his knees watching this.
9527 had been in the gaming industry for over ten years and had witnessed over a hundred thousand or even millions of players. This was, however, the first time 9527 witnessed a player like Wang Yu.
A majority of ordinary players would fight a BOSS by standing at an ideal position to release their skills. When the BOSS executes his move, the players would simply move around to avoid the attack. Some higher-end players, who are more confident in their ability to react and movements would usually sneak an attack just before the BOSS gets to attack them.
Wang Yu was not used to doing things other people would usually do as he was in a league of his own. This fella didn’t even bother calculating the time between the BOSS’s skills. Instead, he countered the BOSS’s every move by reacting to every attack. He even made use of the BOSS’s movement to help his own movement to his advantage. What sorcery?!
However, this was never Wang Yu’s problem. It was just that while other ordinary players treated the game’s monsters and NPC as mere data/numbers, Wang Yu treated every NPC in the game as a real meaningful living being.
Treating an NPC as a data and a real living being would result in two very different fighting style. Just like killing a chicken. If a player treated the chicken as data, he would simply use a knife to stab it to death. Wang Yu, on the other hand, would treat the chicken as a real chicken to kill it how we would usually do it in real life. He would grab the wings before twisting the neck. Because these combat styles and instincts were embedded in a person’s bones, it wasn’t something every player would do. Therefore, it looked extremely exceptional compared to the rest.
“Chief Hao, what is going on with you?” Little Zhang asked when he saw 9527.
“What… What in the world? Is there really real Kung Fu in the world?” 9527 no longer knew what he should say so the first thing that came out of his mouth was disbelief.
“Haha, you’ve been frightened badly by this fella.” Little Zhang was clearly rejoicing in this reaction.
“I honestly didn’t expect to see a player with such a train of thoughts.” 9527 replied.
