“Ah? I didn’t do it on purpose…” Ling Longmeng hurriedly kept her bow as she responded with an innocent face.
“Tsk!” The City Lord didn’t bother about Ling Longmeng as he turned back to Wang Yu and said, “You must know that since this is your trial quest, you better not let others help you. On the fact that your level is so low, I shall forget about this arrow but there will not be a second chance!”
Wang Yu scratched his chin as he replied, “Got it!”
After saying that, the City Lord darted towards Wang Yu again.
This time, Wang Yu grew smarter as he knew that the difference in strength was simply too drastic. Therefore, Wang Yu simply gave up on the idea of attacking as he was only focused on dodging. This way, he was able to avoid each move more skillfully and easily with the help of his Qing Gong.
Seeing how the situation became the same as before, Ling Longmeng couldn’t help but complain in the chat, “F*ck! This BOSS is really shameless! With such a huge difference in levels, how can one person defeat him?”
“En, it is true that one person will not be able to defeat him.” Wang Yu, who was busy running around, expressed the same sentiments on the guild chat.
After being chased by the City Lord for some time, Wang Yu had a rough understanding of the City Lord’s strength. He knew that the probability of defeating him head-on in his current state was probably negligible.
“So what should we do? Should we get Fearless to bring the seal back?” Ling Longmeng suggested.
She really didn’t want a seal to be the reason why she had to quit this game.
“No need!”
Wang Yu dodged the City Lord’s fist with a sidestep as he replied, “Even though I am not able to defeat him by myself, defeating him is not difficult.”
“Oh? What do you have in mind?” Yang Nuo questioned.
Wang Yu chuckled as he lowered his head and emerged from underneath the City Lord’s armpit, “As long as you guys help me, I have a way to defeat him.”
“F*ck! Didn’t he mention that we’re not supposed to help?” Ling Longmeng furrowed her brows.
Even Wang Yu couldn’t deal with a City Lord of this level. If the difficulty increased by yet another fold, it wouldn’t matter even if they could fight him altogether.
“He mentioned that you guys cannot help to fight him but he didn’t mention about you guys doing anything else.” Wang Yu climbed up onto a wall before replying.
One Page Book wiped the sweat off his forehead before saying, “So what should we do?”
“The same as before! Fire with all your might!” Wang Yu replied.
“This… Will this work?” Everyone couldn’t understand what Wang Yu was planning in his head. Is he trying to burn down the entire City Lord Mansion?
Wang Yu looked at his Qing Gong value before replying, “I have no energy to explain everything to you guys. Hurry up! You will understand in a bit!”
“Alright!”
Even though nobody knew what Wang Yu was planning, the ladies nodded their head in unison. As the most nimble one, Yang Nuo stayed in the middle of the courtyard as the other four of them moved to one corner each. Following which, they started shooting arrows with fire.
The inflammable objects in the courtyards were still the moist branches as thick smokes appeared back in the area.
“B*tches!!” Seeing how the courtyard was lit up by the ladies, the City Lord couldn’t help but curse at the ladies in an ungentlemanly manner.
While the City Lord was distracted, Wang Yu snuck close to him and landed a fist on him.

“Aiya!”
After getting hit by Wang Yu, the City Lord wanted to retaliate immediately. However, Wang Yu had already flashed five metres away from him sneakily.
“Argh! Despicable!”
The City Lord looked at the ladies who started the fire in the courtyard before turning back to look at Wang Yu, who was constantly on the move. He was so infuriated he started making weird noises.
Even so, he was still helpless because all the ladies did was to start the fire. They didn’t actually attack any target so they were technically not helping Wang Yu at all. Therefore, the City Lord had no reason to increase the difficulty because of that.
Moreover, there was nothing the City Lord could do to those ladies who started the fire. This was because the moment the City Lord grew distracted, Wang Yu would sneak towards him to attack him. This hurt even more than the fire itself.
With troubles on both sides, the City Lord could only settle one issue at a time. His current priority was naturally going to be Wang Yu.
Clenching his teeth, the City Lord disregarded the ladies as he focused back on chasing Wang Yu.
Wang Yu seemed to have predicted this as he started running in circles to avoid the City Lord. Seeing his own Qing Gong value depleting and how the entire courtyard was covered in smoke, a peculiar smile appeared on Wang Yu’s face.
“Continue and do not stop!” Wang Yu sent a message to the ladies.
“F*ck! Old Bull, don’t tell me you’re trying to suffocate him to death using the smoke?” Seeing how thick the smoke in the courtyard was, Ling Longmeng commented on how evil Wang Yu was.
Wang Yu replied, “What do you know?! He can no longer see me!”
“???”
Ling Longmeng was confused while Yang Nuo and One Page Book responded, “You’re trying to make use of the smoke to deal with him?”
“Clever!” A proud smile could be seen on Wang Yu’s face.
Wang Yu was constantly chased by the City Lord mainly because of the superiority he had in terms of his attributes. There was no way Wang Yu could do anything with his technique which he was better than the City Lord.
Moreover, there was one more point which the system would never think about even though all of Wang Yu’s techniques were futile against the City Lord. That point was perception!
An ordinary person normally used their eyes to notice their opponent’s trajectory of attacks before coming up with a counteract.
However, a proficient martial artist like Wang Yu didn’t normally rely heavily on his five senses. They mainly relied on their perceptivity, which, in other words, meant that they deduced their opponent’s next move by their breath. Either way, this was an extremely mysterious concept which ordinary people would understand even if Uncle Bull explained it personally.
The designers of the game were also ordinary people so the system of the games they designed could only be based on the ordinary five senses. Therefore, the City Lord relied heavily on his eyes while fighting Wang Yu.
This was evident from how easy it was for Ling Longmeng to ambush the City Lord.
Presently, the courtyard was filled with so much smoke that one wouldn’t be able to see their five fingers.
In such an environment, Wang Yu would be able to deduce the movements of the City Lord by his breathing. On the other hand, the City Lord became passive because of his affected vision which reduced the superiority he had over Wang Yu significantly.
The current Wang Yu would be like an Assassin in Stealth mode and it was the kind where the City Lord wouldn’t be able to see through. With the enemy in the dark, it was evident who held the advantage.
When the time is right, geographical and social conditions are favourable, it would be the perfect time to go to war. With a favourable environment, the balance of this war flipped completely, in favour of Wang Yu.
Just like how Wang Yu predicted it, the City Lord lost his directions in the smoke. When Wang Yu arrived next to the City Lord, he was basically turning in circles in panic mode because he couldn’t find or see Wang Yu.
“Hi, I’m here!” When he sensed where the City Lord was, Wang Yu intentionally greeted him to give him a scare.
When the City Lord heard the commotion, he turned and swung his fist without hesitation.
Wang Yu smiled as he turned his body to dodge the fist. He took one step forward and to close up the distance before landing his fist on his chin.

The City Lord was caught off guard as he was sent flying by Wang Yu. Wang Yu followed it up quickly as he continued to strike the City Lord’s ribs and abdomen.
A series of damages appeared as the City Lord’s health bar decreased by a little.
At the moment when the City Lord’s airborne time ended, Wang Yu managed to pull the City Lord back into his embrace.
