Chapter 15: Successful Strategy

However, after creating distance this time, Su Sheng still remained vigilant; it's very likely that the Wolf King BOSS's final skill will also trigger during this interval.

But Su Sheng miscalculated this time; after a useless howl, the Wolf King snarled and lunged at Su Sheng.

If the estimate is wrong, then there's only one possibility.

The Wolf King's final skill should trigger at around ten percent health.

Five percent is probably too low; the current Wolf King hasn't reached that level yet.

If later those Commander Rank or Lord Rank BOSSes hit the five percent health line, they might unleash some overpowered ultimate moves.

But for BOSSes of that rank, don't even think about it at this stage.

Commander Rank ones are still worth pondering, but Lord Rank ones are terrifyingly difficult, requiring an entire guild to form a raid strategy.

Back when the heroes were gathering, Su Sheng once led his subordinates to besiege a Lord Rank BOSS of equal level, which ended in failure.

Although there were some limitations, Su Sheng's forces were top-tier back then.

Getting off topic, Su Sheng steadied his mind and refocused on tackling the Wolf King.

Soon the Wolf King's health bar approached ten percent, and Su Sheng took a deep breath; the critical moment had arrived.

The Wolf King's aura was imposing; it was clearly a skill to summon subordinates, though the exact number was unknown.

Now equipped with a rabbit-head Shield and rabbit-fur gauntlets, ordinary Mountain Wild Wolves can't trouble me.

As long as it's not too many…

First, one must be cautious, using the previous health-line method to calculate damage, including a Fang's Weak Point Critical Hit and Rend.

After two triggers, Su Sheng immediately stepped back to create distance.

When the health line officially dropped to ten percent, indeed Shan Di Lang Wang stayed still and let out a long howl.

However, this howl lacked the previous dizzying sound wave, but the sound was long and carried far.

Su Sheng raised an eyebrow, wondering if any other players had entered this forest.

The howl traveled too far; if a player came, they'd definitely hear it, and attracting other players would cause complications.

I've been fighting for over an hour; the Wolf King's 50,000 HP is down to the final 5,000. If a player shows up now, Su Sheng would be frustrated.

At that moment, the Wolf King's howl ended, and five Mountain Wild Wolves leapt out from the nearby jungle.

Five heads?

Su Sheng twisted his brow, seeing a slight challenge.

But it's not a big problem, within Su Sheng's budget; after all, they're still the Wolf King's subordinates, they should at least look the part.

Ordinary Mountain Wild Wolves have an attack power of only 45, they can't break defense; as long as you guard against the Bite Skill's bleed, you should be able to withstand the attacks of five ordinary Mountain Wild Wolves and chip away the Wolf King's final five thousand HP.

Charge!

Su Sheng charged straight forward, landing a Heroic Strike on the Wolf King's still-open mouth.

Weak Point Critical Hit!

Awooo!

At this moment, the wolves summoned by the Wolf King on the side also began attacking Su Sheng.

Sure enough, no defense break; moreover, with the Knight class template's talent, in a no-defense-break state, the mitigated damage is terrifying.

When the Wolf King was at eighty percent health, Su Sheng's mistake dropped his HP to 131, but even in Combat State, the Knight class recovers slowly due to constitution.

With the Shield's aid, Su Sheng now has over 40 constitution points, regaining 4 HP every 20 seconds.

The effort to tackle the Wolf King has lasted nearly an hour; during this time, occasional Block didn't fully mitigate damage, causing a slight loss of HP, so Su Sheng still has just over five hundred HP.

These five ordinary Mountain Wild Wolves each deal only about 10 HP per attack round; as long as you avoid the Bite Skill's bleed, you have a chance to forcibly take down this Wolf King.

Su Sheng steadied his mind and continued to Focus Fire on the Wolf King.

Just need to briefly split attention to handle those ordinary Mountain Wild Wolves' bites, and it will be fine.

…

Damage numbers pop up piece by piece.

The single-digit numbers are white, representing the forced HP loss from ordinary Mountain Wild Wolves' attacks, while the three-digit numbers are yellow, indicating Su Sheng's near-constant Weak Point Damage.

Occasionally a crimson Weak Point Critical Hit appears; mainly, in Free Mode, Su Sheng can smoothly soften ordinary attack Stiffness, with an attack frequency of two to three times per second.

If it's not a Weak Point Critical Hit, it generally can't offset the Wolf King's healing.

Thus, a series of consecutive Weak Point Critical Hits gave Su Sheng the chance to tackle this Wolf King.

In fact, calculating it, Su Sheng's per-second attacks overflow the Wolf King's healing by roughly a dozen to twenty points.

On average, it's about 12~13 damage per second, basically just a scratch.

Plus the time wasted when over the health line. That's why it took Su Sheng so long.

Fang!

Weak Point Critical Hit!

As the last fang burst out.

The huge mountain wolf king let out a whine and collapsed directly.

Swish~

A flash of golden light, and Su Sheng leveled up directly.

After all, having soloed a level 15 elite boss, gaining a huge amount of experience to level up once is still quite normal, and the experience bar even overflowed quite a bit.

Meanwhile, as the wolf king collapsed completely, the five summoned ordinary mountain wild wolves also let out a whine and fled with their tails between their legs.

This is also fine; the five ordinary mountain wild wolves could give Su Sheng hardly any experience, so it's not worth wasting effort even if they ran away.

After all, now is the time to reap.

Besides that, perhaps because it's the newbie village, this elite boss still has a lot of water content.

Otherwise, Su Sheng might not really be able to solo it.

According to Teng Long's settings, a normal elite squad of the same level can handle a regular boss.

For an elite boss, you basically need to form a team to tackle it, or a squad composed entirely of experts.

As for commander rank, you need the elite corps of a major guild.

For lord rank, you need to pull the whole guild in, and even then you might not be able to take it down.

As for overlord rank, the boss 《Heroes》—no guild has succeeded in attacking it in ten years.

As the wolf king died, a series of system notifications came.

Su Sheng naturally has no time to deal with those system notifications now.

Under the wolf king's corpse lay a lot of loot.

After stuffing everything into the backpack in one go, Su Sheng then had time to check the system notifications.

First is the hidden class, the notification of mission success.

System notification: Congratulations, player, for completing the class advancement trial mission.

Class title promotion.

Normally, players without a class change cannot level up after level 10; they must change class and obtain an official class title before they can continue leveling up.

It's also a coincidence that Su Sheng's class trial mission is exactly to solo an elite boss.

At the moment the wolf king was killed, the mission was completed, and he also obtained an official class title, so he could naturally level up.
