If a monster's level exceeded the player's, it wouldn't even display its name. Looking at the city master's attributes, the city master's level actually didn't exceed Wang Yu's by much.
In the game's background, the peak of a human's profession was only Level 100. The city master hadn't even broken through the peak of his profession, so he definitely couldn't exceed Level 100. From the looks of it, he should be around Level 80.
For a Level 45 player, a normal boss that was 35 levels higher than them was an overwhelming existence, not to mention an epic boss like the city master. Even in Wang Yu's heart, he didn't have much of a chance of winning.
Because of the level suppression, it wasn't something an ordinary person could withstand. If it wasn't a great expert like Wang Yu who had free mode, an ordinary person wouldn't even be able to break the boss's defense.
Because of this, Wang Yu instinctively believed that even if it was such a powerful opponent, as long as he could break the defense, he would at least have the strength to fight.
But every strong person had a heart that dared to challenge. No matter how powerful the opponent was, as long as they met, they couldn't retreat. Once they had a heart of fear, it was very likely that they would stop here.
This kind of expert like Wang Yu was even more so. If there was a chance of winning, he would try. This was also the reason why Wang Yu and Quanzhen's group of gamblers could mix together, because they were essentially the same kind of people.
"How is it? Are you ready? " The city master could be considered a relatively moral NPC. If it was the old man Hermit, perhaps at this time, he would have already pounced on Wang Yu and beat him up. Why would he ask if he was ready or not?
"Yes!" Wang Yu took a step back, nodded his head and said: "I'm ready!"
"Come on!" The city master beckoned at Wang Yu.
Wang Yu didn't hold back. His body's center of gravity slightly lowered, both feet fiercely stomped the ground, and a Collapsing Fist smashed towards the city master's chest.
The city master's title was Rushing Thunder Hand. As the name implied, his agility attribute wasn't low. Seeing Wang Yu's fist coming, his right fist extended forward, striking towards Wang Yu's head first.
Don't look at how tall Wang Yu was. That was in reality for ordinary people. In this world where height could be adjusted, Wang Yu's 1.86m physique was actually only considered average among players. Compared to NPCs, it was even paled in comparison.
The city master was extremely tall and sturdy, taller than Wang Yu by half a head, with long arms and legs. While Wang Yu's Collapsing Fist was still a dozen centimeters away from the city master's chest, the city master's fist had already reached the side of Wang Yu's head.
Fortunately, Wang Yu's reaction was extremely fast. Seeing that his head was about to receive a hard punch, he decisively cancelled his skill, and thus avoided the city master's iron fist.
Just as Wang Yu landed on the ground, the city master extended his long leg and kicked towards his chest. This time, Wang Yu didn't have time to dodge, and was kicked in the chest by the city master. Wang Yu was like a ball, kicked out more than ten meters by the city master.
Taking a hard kick from the city master, Wang Yu's health plummeted by one-fifth. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Wang Yu used both hands to protect his chest, and at the same time jumped back to offset a lot of the force. Otherwise, with the city master's attack power, Wang Yu's protective cover would have been broken.
Seeing that his punch didn't instantly kill Wang Yu, the city master unexpectedly said: "Hmph hmph, good kid, you still have some skill."
After saying that, the city master rushed forward, and returned a Collapsing Fist to Wang Yu.
The principle of bare-handed combat was the same as armed combat. Under the same conditions, whoever had greater strength and longer arms had the advantage.
Not only did the city master have long arms and legs, but his attack range was also greater than Wang Yu's. Moreover, he also had the attack power to instantly kill Wang Yu. In this kind of situation, even if Wang Yu was proficient in a hundred different skills, he still wouldn't dare to take the attack head-on.
No matter how good one's skills were, it was already amazing to be able to block an attack that was several times his own strength. If he tried to block an artillery shell, wouldn't he be looking for death?
Wang Yu knew how powerful the city master was, so he hurriedly ducked and dodged the city master's fist. He pounced forward and rolled behind the city master. At the same time, he extended his right leg and kicked the city master's ankle.
As a Level 80 Epic-ranked Boss, the city master's agility was far beyond Wang Yu's imagination. Seeing Wang Yu roll behind him, he was already prepared. Before Wang Yu's kick could reach the city master, the city master had already lifted his leg, turned around, and kicked at him.
Wang Yu was shocked, and could only hurriedly withdraw his leg and roll again. When he stood up, the city master had already turned around, swung his fists, and steadied himself.
"What a troublesome guy!!" Looking at Wang Yu opposite him, the city master couldn't help but sigh.
As an Epic-ranked Boss, the city master's IQ wasn't comparable to those stupid Bosses who only knew how to use skills. Even though it was only two rounds of fighting, the battle skills and reaction speed that Wang Yu had displayed made the city master's heart palpitate.
Wang Yu's attack method was like the sea, all-pervasive. As long as there was the slightest opportunity, he would take advantage of it.
The city master knew very well that when fighting against an opponent like this, he couldn't show the slightest opening. If that kick just now wasn't a normal attack, but a Back Kick skill that swayed forward and backward for a longer period of time, he might have already been tangled up by Wang Yu.
After all, the city master was a Level 80 super Boss. At this time, facing an opponent that was almost half his level lower than him, he didn't even dare to use his skills. It was enough to show how difficult it was to deal with Wang Yu.
"I knew there's no such thing as a free lunch. A high-level Epic-ranked Boss is really hard to deal with."
At the same time, Wang Yu had already evaluated the city master. They were both Grandmasters of Combat, but the city master suppressed Wang Yu in every aspect except technique.
The city master's every punch, in particular, posed a fatal threat to Wang Yu. Hence, Wang Yu's technique, the only attribute that surpassed the city master's, was useless in this situation.
The level suppression was simply too severe. If Wang Yu was also Level 80, even if Wang Yu was only Level 60, he wouldn't be suppressed by the city master like this.
In the blink of an eye, the two clashed once more. More accurately, it was Wang Yu who took the beating. Under the city master's lightning-fast attacks, Wang Yu found it difficult to parry. He could only dodge. Occasionally, he retaliated, but his attacks were not accurate. His Skill Completion Rate was so low that he couldn't even break through the city master's Defense.
Since Wang Yu's debut, he had killed countless Bosses. This was the first time he had been suppressed so miserably.
Exquisite Dream and the others, who were watching the battle from the sidelines, grew anxious when they saw Wang Yu unable to retaliate against the city master's attacks.
Seeing that the city master had forced Wang Yu into a corner, Exquisite Dream's temper flared up again. Ignoring Yang Na's attempts to stop her, she raised her crossbow and fired at the city master.
"Pa …"
With a soft sound, Linglong Meng's crossbow bolt hit the back of the City Lord's head, interrupting his attack on Wang Yu.
Wang Yu took the opportunity to roll twice, quickly escaping the city master's control. At the same time, he quickly retreated, increasing the distance between him and the city master.
The city master slowly turned around, plucking the crossbow bolt from the back of his head and tossing it to the side. He stared at Exquisite Dream and said, "This is a solo trial. If you insist on joining, I will double the difficulty of the Quest!"
