I don’t need to tell you who his father is, do I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His older brother, Cheng Xingyue, is already famous in his own right—a total badass who single-handedly guards a Celestial Abyss Rift!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for Cheng Shanhe himself, it’s a classic case of like father, like son.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His main weapon is a Profound Iron Shield. A year ago, he awakened his first Martial Arts Spirituality: Stone Skin! When activated, his entire body is covered in a layer of rock armor, and his Defense Power is absolutely astonishing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In last year’s National Youth Genius Tournament, he had one legendary battle where he managed to completely drain all the stamina of the championship favorite, Meteor Bai Yi, ultimately securing a narrow victory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember Bai Yi completely lost his cool. During an interview, he angrily cursed that everyone from the Cheng Family was basically a turtle, each one better at stalling than the last!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had done his homework on nearly all the thousands of geniuses on the leaderboard, let alone someone as famous as Cheng Shanhe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Dongchen rattled off the information with ease, even including his opponent’s highlight-reel victories and amusing anecdotes from the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The live stream chat was instantly spammed with the word \"Professional.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the \"Spectate\" button finally lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Dong Dongchen clicked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness dissipated, revealing a vast map covered in a rugged stone forest to all the viewers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye stood quietly, long spear in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze fell upon the youth before him, who held a heavy shield in his right hand that was nearly half his own height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So young!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye could tell at a glance that this opponent was likely several years younger than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just about 1.7 meters tall, and his build wasn’t particularly burly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the dense and powerful fluctuations of Qi and Blood within his body clearly indicated his current level of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-stage of the Vein Opening Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right. In terms of cultivation realm alone, Lin Ye was currently inferior to the youth before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth opposite him saw Lin Ye as well. A bright, harmless-looking smile appeared on his still somewhat childish face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please instruct me, big brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was crisp and his manners impeccable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Dong Dongchen chuckled in the live stream and issued a reminder:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright everyone, don’t be fooled by this kid’s harmless exterior! He calls everyone ’big brother’ or ’big sister.’ This punk is a classic wolf in sheep’s clothing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s one thing if you manage to beat him, but if you lose, that little mouth of his turns venomous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’ll chase you around saying, ’How can you not even beat a little kid like me, big brother?’ He’ll piss you off so much your Dao Heart will shatter on the spot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chat immediately erupted with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seriously? He’s that much of a troll?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True. If I put myself in that position, getting wrecked by a kid would definitely shatter my Dao Heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The countdown ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[BATTLE START!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye didn’t let his guard down just because his opponent was a boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s more...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A cute boy like this... wouldn’t it be fun to make him cry?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the thought crossed his mind, Lin Ye’s figure moved without the slightest warning, shooting toward Cheng Shanhe like an arrow loosed from its bow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of solemnity that belied his age passed through Cheng Shanhe’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So fast!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ve never seen or even heard of this opponent. He must have joined the New Star Sequence recently.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Lin Ye looked like a well-rounded Martial Artist from his appearance. I didn’t expect him to be this fast.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Cheng Shanhe’s reaction was just as fast. The very instant Lin Ye moved,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he sank into his stance and planted the massive Profound Iron Shield firmly in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black long spear in Lin Ye’s hand struck Cheng Shanhe’s heavy shield with pinpoint accuracy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dull clang of metal on metal erupted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shanhe felt an immense force travel up from the face of the shield, making his wrist tingle and go numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slid backward uncontrollably for a short distance, carving two distinct grooves into the hard rock ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first exchange! Goblin’s thrust was incredibly fierce and packed a serious punch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cheng Shanhe blocked it, but it was by no means easy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back on the battlefield, however, Lin Ye raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was slightly taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’With that last thrust, I was absolutely certain I had angled my spear to bypass the front of the shield and aim for his shield arm.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But just as the spear tip was about to connect, the shield seemed to instantly expand before my eyes, managing to block my cunning strike.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye heard the faint, muffled click of a mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the youth opposite him slap the inside of his heavy shield with his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, five hexagonal, honeycomb-like plates instantly ejected from a hidden compartment on the main shield’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They interlocked, increasing the shield’s total defensive area by nearly a third!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn’t all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, something happened that surprised Lin Ye even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The edges of three of the ejected plates suddenly unfurled dark-gold serrations as thin as a cicada’s wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, these three plates detached from the main shield and shot toward Lin Ye from three different angles, spinning at high speed with a sharp whistle as they cut through the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye’s eyes narrowed. With a light tap of his foot, he instantly dodged aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the three shield-blades were like bone-clinging maggots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After missing their first strike, they carved a bizarre arc through the air and renewed their pursuit, as if equipped with an auto-targeting system!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Dong Dongchen couldn’t help but remark, \"See that, everyone? Having a Martial Saint for a dad really makes a difference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1056,"2026-06-06T10:31:47.882Z",1,"novelbin.me","fa338a4059d329ab5944a49ef79c9a21586cbee4308e31e21630f3341e81cea5","how-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-chapter-143","how-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-chapter-141",250,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-cover.jpg"]
