The sound was dull and violent, filled with a primal sense of destruction.
It was definitely not something an ordinary Wild Boar could make.
Almost the instant Yang Yu heard it, his body reacted.
With a light tap of his toes against the ground, his upgraded Constitution granted him strength far beyond that of an ordinary person. His entire body floated up silently like a weightless fallen leaf, landing steadily on the branch of a massive tree.
From his elevated position, his field of vision instantly widened.
In the distance, dust billowed as dozens of large trees were smashed apart like dry twigs, wood chips flying everywhere.
A gigantic creature was charging wildly through the forest. Its enormous body was no smaller than a Heavy Tank from his previous life!
And it was headed straight toward him!
Yang Yu's gaze sharpened, his pupils contracting to dangerous pinpoints from his intense focus.
He finally saw the monster clearly.
It was a Wild Boar—a terrifying Wild Boar dozens of times larger than normal!
Its entire body was covered in obsidian-hard bristles, each one standing upright like a steel needle.
Most terrifying of all were the two tusks curling upward from the sides of its mouth. They were as thick as elephant ivory, their tips gleaming with an icy light. Every time it lowered its head, they easily plowed through the solid earth.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Every step made the ground tremble slightly, as though it were some colossal beast awakened from the Primordial Wilderness.
Yang Yu's thoughts stirred, and an idea flashed through his mind like lightning.
Could this... be the Elite Wild Boar King the two official Professionals had mentioned, the one scheduled to respawn tonight?
He felt the crushing pressure bearing down on him and assessed its strength.
With an impact of this level, if it hit him head-on, even with his rare armor, 10% physical damage reduction, and a Constitution as high as 60, he probably would not come out unscathed!
Yet rather than showing even a trace of fear, Yang Yu's lips curled upward uncontrollably.
There was no retreat—only excitement!
He had just been worrying about leveling too slowly, and now a fresh BOSS had delivered itself right to him!
Besides, he had been wanting to test the new effect of Blade Draw Slash after it reached Level 10. This was simply the perfect test subject delivered to his doorstep!
The Wild Boar King drew closer and closer, its foul, fishy gale whipping Yang Yu's clothes until they fluttered loudly.
At last, he could clearly inspect its information through the Profession Panel.
[Wild Boar King (Elite BOSS)] [Level: 10] [HP: 4500/4500]
"What's this?"
Yang Yu's grin widened.
"Only 4,500 HP? Who are you looking down on?"
If other Professionals heard that, their jaws would probably drop.
For a Level 10 Elite BOSS, 4,500 HP already qualified it as a massive health sponge!
An ordinary Level 10 party, without perfect coordination between tank, healer, and damage dealers, might not be able to take it down even after grinding for over ten minutes. One careless mistake could mean a full party wipe.
But in Yang Yu's eyes, it was only a matter of a few slashes.
Just as the Wild Boar King's massive body was about to charge into his ten-meter attack range—
Yang Yu's gaze changed.
His earlier ease vanished without a trace, replaced by absolute focus, like an unparalleled deadly weapon drawn from its sheath.
"War Cry, activate!"
An invisible sound wave spread out, precisely locking onto the Wild Boar King below.
It drew the Wild Boar King's aggro while reducing its attack power by 45%.
"Bloodthirsty Battle Intent, activate!"
Boom!
An intense wave of weakness surged from deep within his body, as though invisible hands had forcibly drained part of his vitality.
That was the price of burning 10% of his blood!
But immediately afterward, an indescribable Berserk Power erupted wildly from every cell in his limbs and body!
At that moment, Yang Yu's attack power increased by 50%!
A dense bloody stench instantly spread around him. It was not an illusion, but Crimson mist rising from his body.
At the same time, his pupils were completely dyed a bloodthirsty scarlet!
At this moment, he looked like an Asura returned from hell!
The Wild Boar King charged into his ten-meter attack range!
Now!
Standing on the branch, Yang Yu lowered his body slightly. His right hand gripped the hilt at his waist, while his left hand lightly braced the scabbard.
His gaze locked onto the black torrent barreling toward him below.
Time seemed to slow at that instant.
"Blade Draw Slash!"
The first slash! A condensed silver Sword Qi, almost tangible, flew from the blade like lightning tearing through the night, arriving in an instant!
"Blade Draw Slash!"
The second slash! A 0.3-second cooldown practically did not exist for Yang Yu right now!
"Blade Draw Slash!" "Blade Draw Slash!" "Blade Draw Slash!"
The third slash! The fourth slash! The fifth slash!
In just over a second, five brilliant streams of Sword Qi burst one after another from the longsword in his hand. They carved five trails of death through the air like life-reaping meteors, slashing with flawless precision at the same target!
"-924!"
"-1324!" Critical hit!
"-871!"
"-912!"
"-893!"
Five enormous red damage numbers exploded above the Wild Boar King's head almost simultaneously!
The Wild Boar King, which had been charging forward with unstoppable momentum, suddenly froze.
The madness and brutality in its lantern-sized crimson eyes instantly solidified, replaced by bewilderment and shock.
It had not even... seen what its enemy looked like.
Thud!
The Wild Boar King's four legs instantly stiffened, unable to support its mountain-like body any longer. It crashed to its knees.
Yet its immense momentum still dragged its heavy corpse across the ground, carving a deep trench as it slid for more than ten meters. In the end, it stopped directly beneath the tree Yang Yu stood on, right at his feet.
One second, five slashes—stop the dragon cart!
[You killed the Level 10 Elite BOSS Wild Boar King and gained +5500 EXP!]
A golden beam of light shot into the sky from Yang Yu's body!
[Congratulations, you have reached Level 8!]
Whoosh!
The Wild Boar King's massive corpse did not dissolve into countless motes of light like a Dungeon Monster.
Instead, two items dropped beside him.
A scroll and a vicious-looking faceguard.
Yang Yu leaped down from the tree and stored both Spoils of War in his Panel Space.
He had barely finished doing so, before he even had the chance to inspect his gains, when two swift figures rushed over from the other side of the forest.
They were the two official personnel who had been watching from the hillside outside Wild Boar Forest earlier.
Leng Yuan and Lu Fei.
Their movements were ghostly fast. In just a few breaths, they crossed several hundred meters and arrived at the scene.
When they saw the sight before them, both of them involuntarily stopped, their pupils shrinking sharply.
