Level 12 Bronze Boss! Completely outclassed by Ma De!

"Ah! You despicable, shameless, lying, foul, filthy fellow!"

"I will never let you go!"

Ma De instantly became enraged!

He cursed at Ye Xingyu!

At the same time, he pulled out a small, exquisite bow from somewhere.

He aimed at Ye Xingyu's throat and shot!

The name above his head instantly changed from yellow (neutral) to glaring red (hostile)!

NPC Ma De attacked Ye Xingyu without hesitation!

This was the cruel part of this quest.

You could only choose one of two options.

If you didn't want to be hostile to the Village Chief,

Then Ma De would target you.

"Hmph! So you're an Archer too!"

Ye Xingyu sneered lightly.

With a shift of his feet, he instantly dodged the arrow that whizzed past him.

Ma De's first arrow missed its mark.

"Falling Nine Heavens! Die!"

After Ma De and Ye Xingyu became hostile,

His entire demeanor seemed to change instantly, as if he was a different person.

His movements were agile, and his aura was powerful.

At the same time,

His panel, like that of ordinary monsters,

Could be detected by players.

...Hiss!

As the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover.

Ma De, who outwardly resembled a frail scholar,

Instantly became a Bronze Boss after his 'blackening'!

He was one level higher than the Wild Boar Leader Ye Xingyu had encountered before!

Ma De levels generally corresponded to equipment levels,

Also from low to high:

Black Iron, bronze, Silver, Gold, dark gold, Purple Gold, epic, legendary, Mythical.

There were many levels of division.

The higher the level of the Ma De, the higher its attributes and difficulty, naturally.

Ye Xingyu's pressure suddenly increased.

In a short time, he dodged two more of Ma De's arrows.

Yet he hadn't even found an opportunity to attack himself!

A Level 12 Bronze Boss Archer.

His strength was not to be underestimated!

"Whoosh!"

Ma De shot another arrow.

But the moment he raised his hand,

Ye Xingyu took a small step to the right.

He gracefully dodged it.

At the same time, Ye Xingyu shot an arrow of his own!

It hit Ma De's left arm squarely!

"-255!"

Ma De had shot several arrows first.

But between the two of them,

It was Ma De who got injured first!

"What? This is impossible!"

Ma De roared!

His tone was filled with surprise!

He immediately shot more arrows!

But each time,

Ye Xingyu, the moment Ma De raised his hand,

Would preemptively shift a small step to the left or right.

At the same time, he would follow up with a counter-attack, shooting an arrow!

A few seconds passed back and forth.

Ye Xingyu dodged three of Ma De's arrows in a row.

And at the same time, he shot three arrows in succession, hitting Ma De's left arm, left arm, and right arm respectively!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"This is impossible!!!"

Ma De, also an Archer, naturally couldn't be unaware that

He had already lost completely!

And he didn't lose based on numerical foundations like level, attributes, attack speed, movement speed, equipment, etc.

But rather, he lost to true skill!

Yes!

In terms of pure technical archery duels,

Ma De lost completely!

He lost terribly!

Ye Xingyu, carrying over seven years of Archer experience from his previous life,

Had long since honed the various micro-operations, kiting, and dueling techniques of this profession

To a master level!

He possessed extremely rich experience.

In his previous life, he had experienced 1v1 PKs,

1vMany PKs,

Participated in arena competitions, national master tournaments... The total number of PKs he had with others was at least 3,000, if not 10,000!

That's why he possessed such rich dueling techniques and experience!

Just dueling against Archers alone,

He had experienced over 500 matches!

Therefore, Ye Xingyu was able to technically overwhelm Ma De in Archer 1v1 duels!

In the duel between Archers,

Observing the opponent's movements was extremely crucial.

Ye Xingyu had long trained himself to

Predict the speed and direction of the arrow his opponent was about to shoot just by observing the degree of their shoulder movement when they made a move.

Therefore, he dodged calmly.

His long-trained conditioned reflexes

Allowed him to make corresponding micro-movements purely by instinct.

He only needed to shift his feet a tiny step to the side,

And he could avoid the opponent's attack by a hair's breadth!

All of this sounds complicated,

But Ye Xingyu had long since trained his Archer operating skills

To the level of conditioned reflexes!

This was all the result of his long-term hard work in his previous life.

Ma De's shooting skills,

In his eyes, were still at an infant level.

"Ah ah ah ah!!!"

"This is impossible!!!"

Ma De couldn't calm down at all.

He couldn't accept the outcome of this horror movie-like duel.

He gritted his teeth and shot more arrows at Ye Xingyu!

But as mentioned before,

The moment Ma De raised his hand,

The degree of his shoulder movement

Had already revealed information such as the arrow's speed and direction.

Ye Xingyu could easily dodge it purely by instinct,

Followed by a counter-attack.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

...A mere 20 seconds passed.

Ma De's HP had unknowingly dropped below 80%.

On the other hand, Ye Xingyu

Didn't even have a scratch on him.

The technical gap between the two was evident.

Another extremely critical point was that

Ye Xingyu continuously shot Ma De's left arm and right arm.

The left arm, as the Archer's support point,

And the right arm, as the point of force application,

Were both the most important body parts for an Archer.

If severely injured,

Fatigue would accumulate step by step.

Once joint fatigue accumulated,

It would inadvertently and severely hinder the speed and strength of archery.

Deep Space is a highly realistic simulation, a pseudo-reality game that will even descend into reality in the future.

So, unknowingly,

Ma De's left arm and right arm were continuously injured,

Which would inevitably greatly weaken his combat power later on!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"

After his HP dropped below 80%,

Ma De activated Swift Shot!

His shooting speed instantly increased by 50%!

The arrows shot at Ye Xingyu instantly became dense as rain.

But the injuries to his left arm and right arm

Had already begun to affect Ma De.

The increased shooting speed exacerbated the pain in these two critical areas of Ma De,

Making him unknowingly frown.

And when Ye Xingyu saw Ma De activate Swift Shot,

At the cost of temporarily stopping his counter-attack,

He focused all his attention on dodging.

Combined with his powerful ability to predict arrow shooting speed and direction,

He continued the previous state,

Dodging each incoming Swift Shot arrow one by one!

"Ah!?"

"How is this possible!"

Ma De repeatedly, again and again, shot empty arrows.

Unable to hit even a single arrow,

A feeling of self-doubt had already accumulated in his heart.

This thought severely damaged Ma De's confidence!
