Chapter 1764 1764: First Blood
Pote and Yu Jian were still in shock from the surprise at Wang Yu's skill level as they crossed the minion line. Soon enough, they noticed something odd: this supposed expert in front of them wasn't last-hitting any minions...
That's right, he wasn't last-hitting at all.
Wang Yu had firmly remembered Fearless's teachings — don't worry about anything else, just kill the enemy. These minions didn't drop equipment, so what was the point in killing them?
Thus, Wang Yu stood behind the minion line, watching as the minions from both sides fought it out, without lifting a finger.
"This... this can't be a fake, can it?"
Seeing Wang Yu standing there "AFK", Pote and Yu Jian finally came to this realization.
Level 1 minion line, casual last-hitting strategy — even for a top-tier expert, any experienced player wouldn't make such a rookie mistake. This Pugilist in front of them was clearly a complete novice.
Although they didn't understand why the guy opposite them was also called Iron Bull, they were almost certain that this Iron Bull was a fake, since using imitation IDs in the game wasn't unheard of.
"Fake?" Upon hearing Pote and Yu Jian, the others were puzzled. "What fake?"
"This Iron Bull is a fraud! Just look at his last-hitting!"
"Last-hitting?"
The other three pulled up the information panel to see Wang Yu's last-hitting count, which was a glaring "0."
In an instant, everyone's faces turned red.
Damn it, who would've thought that this group of people would be tricked by this fake?
This embarrassing situation just made them feel more frustrated, and they couldn't help but shout angrily: "What are you all waiting for? Let's take him down and teach him not to act tough!"
Since the opponent was a fake, there was naturally no reason to hold back.
Seeing the messages from the others, Pote and Yu Jian, who had been hiding under the tower, boldly stepped out and walked right up to the minion line to last-hit minions.
"Finally coming out!"
Seeing Pote and Yu Jian advance towards him, Wang Yu felt delighted and charged at Pote and Yu Jian again.
Earlier, Pote had thought Wang Yu was a top-tier expert and didn't dare to engage him directly. Now, having concluded that Wang Yu was a novice, the fear Pote had felt was completely gone.
He was just a novice, how could we be afraid of you?
Skill adjustments were based on proficiency. Common Warriors usually relied on skills like Charge and Tornado Slash, and Pote was no exception; he had chosen Charge as his first skill.
As Wang Yu charged at him, Pote didn't hesitate. He gripped his great sword and bent down to charge at Wang Yu, with Yu Jian right behind him.
"Here comes a good one!"
Having seen Charge many times before, Wang Yu had at least dozens of ways to dodge it. He calmly sidestepped to the side, easily avoiding Pote's Charge.
"??"
Pote, who dared to play in battlefield mode, clearly had a decent level of PVP skill.
With the Charge missing, Pote was momentarily stunned, promptly canceling the skill. He swung his great sword at Wang Yu's head.
"Ha!"
Wang Yu didn't dodge or evade; instead, he took a step forward, closing the distance to Pote. He placed his left foot behind Pote's foot and simultaneously thrust both palms forward, striking Pote's chest just before Pote could hit him.
"Ouch!"
-172!
Pote's health bar dropped significantly.
Wang Yu's attack angle was extremely tricky; Pote had never imagined that Wang Yu would come so close and attack like that.
Caught off guard by Wang Yu's unexpected strike, Pote's attack was interrupted, and he involuntarily staggered backward. Wang Yu had already positioned his foot behind Pote, causing him to trip and fall to the ground with a cry.
"????"
Lying on the ground, Pote looked bewildered...
Having played the game for so long, Pote was quite familiar with its mechanics and skills. He had heard of effects like knockback and stun, but being knocked down was something he had never encountered. How had he been pushed to the ground so easily?
While Pote was still confused, Wang Yu followed up, lifting his right foot to stomp down on Pote's face.
At that moment, Yu Jian reached Wang Yu's back and saw him about to step on Pote's face. Yu Jian swiftly threw a dagger at Wang Yu's back.
Shuriken, a basic skill of the assassin, was one of the primary ranged attacks.
But to Yu Jian's surprise, Wang Yu didn't even turn around. Instead, he extended his right hand back, pinching the dagger between his index and middle fingers.
"Smack!"
Yu Jian's dagger was firmly caught between Wang Yu's fingers.
-34!
Though Wang Yu's move negated most of the damage from Yu Jian's shuriken, it was still not a system skill. Wang Yu's health bar slightly dropped as a result.
Still, Yu Jian was shocked, his jaw nearly hitting the ground.
"Two-finger vacuum block!!"
Seeing Wang Yu holding the dagger he had thrown, Yu Jian's head buzzed, and he instinctively shouted.
Clearly, Wang Yu's block wasn't very effective, but it was visually impressive and quite intimidating.
Ignoring the astonished Yu Jian, Wang Yu stepped on Pote's throat, silencing him, and followed up with a kick to Pote's temple.
The Demonic Battlefield mode retained some original mechanics from <<Rebirth>>, such as critical hits to vital areas. While it wasn't like the normal mode where it dealt multiple times damage, in battlefield settings, hitting a vital area would still result in a critical hit.
Wang Yu's punches and kicks were fierce, targeting vital points, ensuring a 100% critical hit.
As a Warrior, Pote hadn't opted for defensive gear and only had about a hundred more health points than Wang Yu. With just a few punches and kicks, Wang Yu had reduced him to nearly zero health.
As Pote struggled to stand up, two minions behind Wang Yu followed closely, each swinging a hammer and striking Pote on the head, immediately turning him into a corpse.
"First Blood!"
"Iron Bull killed Pote!"
At the same time, the system announcement rang out on the screen.
"????"
"!!"
Upon seeing the system announcement, the other members of the Dark Faction were left dumbfounded: "What the hell, how did you two get killed by someone who can't even last-hit?"
"Wow, you got lucky and snagged a kill?" On Wang Yu's side, Gu Wanlv was also surprised by Wang Yu's first kill.
"You guys don't understand anything!" As everyone was puzzled, Pote angrily messaged everyone: "I tripped and fell, that's how that kid got lucky. Just you wait, you trash on the opposite side!"
