Chapter 13: Weakness

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just like before, after he collected a White Treasure Chest, the catgirl’s corpse and equipment disappeared into particles of light.

Wang Shuo stood silently and listened for a moment before moving forward. On the surface, he appeared calm, but his heart was already fully alert.

He might have killed the catgirl in one blow just now, but it didn’t mean that she was weak.

Although her first attack missed, the two-foot-long spear had plunged a third into the ground.

If he hadn’t dodged it, such power would have severely injured him or even taken his life.

In fact, Wang Shuo originally intended to use his staff techniques to deflect this attack. But he suddenly realized that it wasn’t wise to expose his strength before even seeing the enemy.

Thus, he dodged instead.

Fortunately, he had done so. Otherwise, the catgirl’s subsequent pounce would have definitely caught him off guard.

Judging from the color of the daggers, he suspected that there was most likely more to it than a simple strike.

If the attack had landed, it wouldn’t have been good.

Furthermore, when the Green Dragon Staff struck her, the catgirl had actually resisted it for a moment.

Just, Wang Shuo’s staff techniques had already reached perfection. Facing this hasty resistance, he disarmed the two daggers with a simple flick of his staff. Then all that was left was striking the opponent’s heart.

But just this brief exchange made him realize that the catgirl wasn’t weak.

Most likely, she was even stronger than the kobolds.

Her reaction speed and skills vastly surpassed the kobolds.

Even though she was midair, she actually managed to react and block Wang Shuo’s attack in an instant. Such abilities couldn’t be underestimated.

Moreover, this catgirl was probably only an ordinary monster.

Although she was much stronger than ordinary kobolds, there was still a gap between her and the kobold leader.

According to the nature of the game, Wang Shuo had no doubt that there was a boss stronger than the kobold leader awaiting him in the forest.

About twenty meters later, Wang Shuo stopped again.

A catgirl was squatting on a tree branch with a short spear in her hand some distance away. Her pupils constricted into a line as she stared at him.

But this wasn’t all.

Wang Shuo slowly turned around and saw another catgirl armed with a short spear not far behind him.

“Assassins are indeed more rational than warriors!”

Wang Shuo sighed in his heart, but his movements didn’t slow.

He instantly dashed toward a large tree at the side.

Seeing his rapid movements, the two catgirls instinctively threw out their short spears.

The two short spears pierced toward him one after another, almost simultaneously.

Not only were they fast, but they were also extremely accurate.

Shock crashed onto Wang Shuo. His instantaneous burst of speed was far superior to that of a cheetah, but the two short spears could actually accurately predict his trajectory.

“As expected of catgirls. Their reaction speed is inhuman!”

The Green Dragon Staff drew a diagonal arc. The two short spears broke into two pieces and fell to the side.

Seeing that his enemies no longer had their short spears, Wang Shuo sneered. Then with a short spin, he swept the long staff out.

Clang! Clang!

With a crisp sound, a figure was sent flying.

“Aowu!” The catgirl on the branch shrieked and took the opportunity to attack.

Wang Shuo paid no attention to her. He strode forward with large steps. While his posture looked a bit silly, his speed was breakneck.

Despite being lithe and graceful, the catgirl couldn’t close the distance quickly.

“Die!”

On the ground, the other catgirl had lost her two daggers, and her wrists were twisted and drooping. The moment she got up, a blow landed mercilessly on her head.

Kacha!

The sound of cracking bones reverberated through the forest. Wang Shuo stopped in his tracks and swung the staff like he was playing golf.

Then the lifeless catgirl flew five to six meters away like a kite and dissipated into particles of light before landing.

After obtaining two more treasure chests, Wang Shuo shook his head.

Although the catgirls weren’t weak, they were no threat to him now.

If he used himself as a reference, the catgirls’ Physique should be around 2.2.

Although their physique and racial talents gave them extremely high agility, the gap in strength was still evident.

With Wang Shuo’s Physique of 3.5, he could still crush the catgirls with pure strength even with his lacking agility.

Furthermore, these catgirls had used daggers.

As the saying went, an inch longer was an inch stronger. With his longer reach with his staff, coupled with his domineering Physique, he could use his perfection-level staff techniques to the fullest.

After three consecutive kills, Wang Shuo already clearly understood how the catgirls attacked.

First, they threw their short spears from a distance, then took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack with daggers.

With his guard up, unless there was a considerable change in the strength or numbers of the catgirls, it would be difficult to cause any substantial harm to him.

This was indeed the case.

Twenty meters later, three catgirls appeared at the same time.

In less than a minute, they all turned into White Treasure Chests.

Another 20 meters, four catgirls…

Five minutes later, five more White Treasure Chests appeared in Wang Shuo’s inventory.

For all this, the price he paid was merely a torn corner of his shirt.

Wang Shuo panted slightly while feeling some lingering fear.

“My movements are terrible!”

He couldn’t see it when he was toying with weaker monsters.

But when monsters like catgirls besieged him, Wang Shuo discovered his weakness as clear as day.

In the face of the continuous siege, his body was extremely stiff.

Especially under the assault of the five catgirls, it was actually dangerous.

Although he won the battle with absolute strength, the fight was alarmingly precarious and a wake-up call.

In the battle just now, Wang Shuo could clearly remember that he had missed many great opportunities to attack because his dodging movements were too big.

His body and reaction speed could keep up, but he was too flustered and couldn’t focus on multiple things simultaneously.

Compared to the catgirls’ agile movements, his movements were so crude that it was unbearable to look at.

If the former’s movements were elegant and precise dance steps, then he was Ma Baoguo’s Taiji Style Fist. Simply an embarrassment.

“Looks like I have to hone my movements next!”

If his movements could reach the level of the catgirls’, his previous battle wouldn’t have been so dangerous.

He shook his head and sighed. There was no use thinking about this now.

Without a secret manual, he wouldn’t be able to achieve much in a short period.

More importantly, he should complete the trial before him and see if he could find any surprises from the catgirls.

Wang Shuo threw a Five Grains Pill into his mouth and moved on.

Ten meters

Twenty meters

Thirty meters

This time, after another 50 meters, he didn’t meet any catgirls.

But after 50 meters, the scene before Wang Shuo suddenly became clear.

There was an open clearing the size of two basketball courts.

Within it, there were dozens of two-meter-tall, half-a-meter-wide stone pillars standing.

On the stone pillars, three catgirls clad in green stood in a triangle formation.

But the most eye-catching one was a beautiful girl wearing purple tights in the center.

Apart from the cat ears on her head, she had a beautiful face no different from a human’s. Additionally, she had two bulging black leather bags at her waist.

Holding one-foot-long scimitars in each hand, she stared coldly at Wang Shuo with her arms crossed.
