Chapter 18: A Boss‑Like Knight

Instant kill!

The other Qiancheng players were stunned; everyone's in the Newbie Village, how did you manage an instant kill?

And it was just a basic skill, the Knight's Heroic Strike, which they all know; among the basic skills of many professions, the Heroic Strike dealing two hits of 70% damage is one of the lowest values.

After all, a Knight's role is to be a damage‑absorbing tank.

But still, a heavy Knight, with a single Heroic Strike, instantly killed a warrior before them—even a full‑strength warrior gains constitution upon leveling up.

At that moment, another assassin had already gotten behind Su Sheng.

He drove his twin daggers hard into Su Sheng's back.

Moreover, a flowing light could be seen between the twin daggers.

Assassination skill! It's the assassin's initial skill, and the assassin's talent for back‑stab attacks grants an extra bonus.

Just…

You're playing assassin in front of me?

You're still a bit green.

Missed!

The three big characters "Missed" floated up, and the assassin stared blankly.

Such a big knight?

"Are you looking for me?"

A voice like that of a grim reaper rang out.

The assassin's eyes widened sharply—when did that happen?

That knight had actually gotten behind him?

What speed— I'm an assassin myself!

However, he didn't know that in hunting mode, Su Sheng's agility is about three times his own.

With 146 agility, even a full‑agility assassin at the Newbie Village stage can't match Su Sheng.

Fang!

Pfft~

Lion's sharp teeth pierced straight into the heart‑back of that Qiancheng assassin player.

-340

Terrifying red damage numbers popped up from the assassin's head.

The assassin, still wearing a look of shock, turned into white light.

Su Sheng isn't an assassin class, so backstab gives no damage bonus, and this isn't weak‑point damage either—it's just the Fang skill's 2.4 multiplier filling him with terrifying damage.

2.4 times the damage of 146 attack.

As for defense? Sorry, a fragile assassin with no armor naturally got instantly killed.

Meanwhile, the Qiancheng Muxue priest standing in the back, clutching a healing technique, was completely dazed.

Two people in a row were both instantly killed,

giving her no chance to heal at all.

Moreover, why does he still have a skill? That phantom fang light just now was obviously a skill.

Whoosh!

At this moment, Qiancheng Leng Shao and those Qiancheng Muxue mages attacked simultaneously.

The archer's initial skill, a fully charged arrow after three seconds, can reach 200% attack power.

But…

-6

An arrow strike on Su Sheng still shows as white forced damage.

Qiancheng Leng Shao gritted his teeth; he's a level‑9 archer with 3 strength and 2 agility, holding a lucky white bow of level 5 from a teammate, giving his attack an extra 5 points.

But it's still only forced damage—just how tough is this guy?

It must be his gear; his equipment is surely good, a shame this is the Newbie Village—otherwise I'd definitely bring a guild team to drop him.

Qiancheng Leng Shao stared fixedly at Su Sheng's equipment.

-48

-47

At this moment, the two highest damages currently appearing above Su Sheng's head are the mage's Arcane Orb, the noble Archmage, possessing the highest initial‑skill output of all professions.

The Arcane Orb's multiplier reaches up to 2.6×, higher than Su Sheng's hidden class Fang skill at 2.4×.

Moreover, early monsters and players lack magic resistance, so this is the Archmage's nobility.

However, Su Sheng happened to obtain a blue‑quality Wolf Fang Pendant with 20 magic defense; even so, the two mages knocked off nearly a hundred of his HP.

But at this point, the Qiancheng Muxue party became even more desperate.

Because losing nearly a hundred HP only made Su Sheng's health bar twitch a little…

Su Sheng's current HP reaches as high as 870—I don't know how far ahead he is of these Newbie Village players.

The seven‑person Qiancheng Muxue squad: Su Sheng instantly killed a warrior and an assassin; now, including Qiancheng Leng Shao, there remain one archer, two mages, one priest, and one knight—five in total.

Heroic Strike!

When that fully constitution‑boosted Qiancheng Muxue knight used a skill, the result was gruesome beyond bearing.

-1

-1

Su Sheng couldn't even be bothered to glance at him; he stepped forward and charged straight at the two opposing mages.

The whole Qiancheng Muxue squad, the only ones who could hurt themselves, were these two mages.

So Su Sheng plans to kill these two mages first.

"Watch him!"

Qiancheng Leng Shao draws his bow again.

And the Qiancheng Muxue knight behind, who can only follow Su Sheng's rear and eat dust, looks utterly aggrieved.

Block…

What do I use to block?

Both are knights, why can you run so fast?

And the two mages naturally understood that Su Sheng was rushing toward them, so they immediately began to retreat.

But even the noble old mage has short legs.

In just a few seconds, Su Sheng had already closed the distance.

He swept with the Newbie Sword in his hand.

-145

A single normal attack, and these fragile little mages were instantly crippled.

Slash~

A green light burst from that mage.

+60

The Mushi MM from Qiancheng Muxue beside them promptly healed that mage a bit; +60 HP is pretty good, after all they haven't left Newbie Village yet.

Next, Su Sheng thrust another sword, a normal attack.

-141

Even though he got a quick heal, the mage still fell to his knees under Su Sheng's two swords.

Behind, Qiancheng Leng Shao fired arrow after arrow at Su Sheng, but the white forced damage seemed to mock him.

Qiancheng Leng Shao gritted his teeth, "What kind of monster is this, high attack, high defense, thick health, fast speed, and damn, is it even human?"

He's also a player who hasn't left Newbie Village yet, how can he achieve this?

This is literally a boss.

Slash slash, two swords.

The other mage also collapsed right after.

And the Mushi MM widened her eyes, looking innocent; her heal cooldown wasn't ready yet.

Then she looked at Su Sheng in front of her and waved her staff.

Holy light missile, a Priest's normal attack.

-1

White damage popped out.

Qiancheng Muxue's Mushi MM blinked, then was also sent away by Su Sheng's two swords.

After using the cooled Fang Skill to send the knight who had just caught up back, he turned his head, and Qiancheng Leng Shao was left only with a silhouette.

Ran.

Su Sheng grinned, "This damn thing is still in Newbie Village death without penalty, and the guy just ran away like that."

Really caught me off guard.

But Su Sheng checked, the hunting state still had four minutes left.

Run?

Can you run away?

Su Sheng stepped forward and chased after.

146 agility, not a joke.

"Offend us Qiancheng Muxue, you won't get any good fruit!"

In the end, amid harsh words and threats, Qiancheng Leng Shao was sent back to the respawn point by Su Sheng's two swords.

Qiancheng Muxue has always been a mortal enemy.

Su Sheng smacked his lips, a bit of a pity, under level 10, hasn't left Newbie Village, no death penalty.

But now Su Sheng is level 11, still hasn't left Newbie Village, yet if he dies there will still be a penalty.

However, given Su Sheng's current stats.

Probably people in Newbie Village have to treat Su Sheng as a boss grind to drop Su Sheng.
