"A BOSS encounter? Lucky!"

Zhou Huai's spirits lifted.

The probability of an exotic beast BOSS appearing in the wild was extremely low to begin with.

Once encountered and successfully killed, it often dropped unexpectedly good items.

However, a wild BOSS also meant exceptional power and danger.

If an ordinary team of Professionals encountered one without thorough preparation, they often went in and never returned.

Team wipes were commonplace.

Let alone going in alone; that was practically an old man hanging himself—asking for death!

Zhou Huai didn't hesitate for a moment, quickly immersing his consciousness completely into Yasuo's Physical Body.

Deep in the jungle, the light was dim.

Not far away.

A giant wolf, more than twice the size of a regular Jungle Dire Wolf, was staring intently at Yasuo with a pair of blood-red eyes.

Its fur was an ominous dark red, as if soaked in endless blood, emitting a strong bloody scent.

Its fangs were bared, gleaming with a chilling light that made hearts palpitate.

Jungle Blood Wolf King LV10 (Elite BOSS)

HP: 18000 / 18000

Eighteen thousand HP!

That was more than ten times the HP of the previous ordinary Jungle Dire Wolves!

Kill, or not kill?

Did he even need to ask?

The BOSS had already shown its face; there was no reason not to kill it!

If this Clone of Yasuo died, so be it.

At worst, twenty-four hours later, he would be a good man again!

Using a mere twenty-four hours of waiting to gamble on a BOSS drop that could be priceless.

This deal was a huge profit, no loss!

However, Zhou Huai didn't plan to control it himself.

After this period of adjustment and observation, he found that the Smart Core AI's performance in combat was smoother and more fluid than his own control, and its grasp of combat opportunities was more precise.

After all, AI wouldn't get nervous, wouldn't make mistakes, and would always maintain absolute calm and rationality.

"System, Yasuo, activate Smart Core AI, target: kill the Jungle Blood Wolf King!"

"Command received. Clone 'Thunder Swordsman Yasuo' Smart Core AI System 1.0, combat mode activated!"

In Yasuo's slightly unruly eyes, a cold, azure data stream suddenly flashed.

He slightly adjusted his sword-holding posture, and his entire Aura changed, like a peerless weapon drawn from its sheath, its sharpness fully revealed!

"Awooo—!"

The Jungle Blood Wolf King seemed to sense the danger from this human, letting out a deafening roar!

The sound waves rolled, making the surrounding trees tremble!

The next instant, it powerfully pushed off with all four limbs, its massive body transforming into a bloody afterimage, carrying a fishy wind as it lunged directly at Yasuo!

Fast!

Extremely fast!

As expected of an Elite BOSS, this burst of speed alone was far beyond what an ordinary Jungle Dire Wolf could achieve!

Yasuo, controlled by the Smart Core AI, remained calm in the face of danger.

Just as the Blood Wolf King's sharp claws were about to strike!

Lightning Rush!

Whoosh!

Yasuo's figure instantly turned into a zigzagging electric light, narrowly dodging the Blood Wolf King's fatal pounce!

The sharp wolf claws almost brushed past his clothes!

"Boom!"

The Blood Wolf King missed its attack, its massive wolf paw slamming hard into the ground, creating a shallow pit and sending fragments of rock and grass flying!

Missing one strike, it immediately adjusted its body, its gaping maw suddenly opening, and a dense, blood-colored energy orb whistled out, heading straight for where Yasuo had just landed!

Bloody Bullet!

Yasuo tapped his toes, his figure elegantly sliding sideways again.

The blood-colored energy orb slammed into the ground, exploding into a cloud of blood mist, emitting a pungent, foul odor.

The Jungle Blood Wolf King's offensive was relentless, its massive body displaying agility unsuited to its size, launching fierce pounces, bites, and tail whips again and again, stirring up gusts of foul wind!

However, Yasuo's figure was like a withered leaf in the wind, twisting and turning amidst the Blood Wolf King's storm-like attacks.

The "Riding the Wind" passive was perfectly triggered; every movement was fluid and graceful, every dodge perfectly timed.

The Wind Breaker Longsword in his hand, under the precise control of the Smart Core AI, always managed to seize gaps in the Blood Wolf King's attacks, bringing forth streaks of sharp lightning and fiercely striking its body!

"Pfft!"

-485! (Weak Point Attack!)

Sword Intent's sharp effect triggered, lightning power splashed!

The Jungle Blood Wolf King cried out in pain, letting out an angry roar, its attacks becoming even more frenzied! 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

It suddenly stood upright, its two front claws glowing with an eerie bloody light, and slammed them fiercely onto the ground!

Blood Rage Shock!

Buzz—!

A blood-colored shockwave, centered on it, suddenly spread out in all directions!

Area-of-effect attack!

Yasuo's eyes narrowed, Lightning Rush activated again, his figure instantly rising, just barely dodging this AOE!

"Now's the time!"

The Smart Core AI precisely captured the brief stun after the Jungle Blood Wolf King unleashed its ultimate move!

Yasuo descended from mid-air, the longsword in his hand blazing with lightning!

Thunderous Strike!

Rip—!

A thick bolt of Thunder Sword Qi, carrying destructive power, fiercely struck the Blood Wolf King's head!

-950! (Critical Hit! Weak Point Attack!)

Awoo—!

The Jungle Blood Wolf King let out a mournful wail, its massive body shaking slightly from the sword strike, and its HP bar visibly dropped a small chunk!

Paralysis effect triggered!

Although it was only a one-second stun, for a top-tier expert, it was enough to do too many things!

Yasuo, having gained the upper hand, showed no mercy, his sword light raining down, pouring onto the Blood Wolf King's body like a torrent!

-377!

-392!

-380!

The one-second paralysis ended, and the Jungle Blood Wolf King regained its movement, the fierce light in its eyes even more intense, tinged with madness!

It was completely enraged!

It abandoned its flashy skills and began to rely on its powerful Physical Body to launch the most primitive, most frantic pursuit of Yasuo!

One man and one wolf engaged in a thrilling chase and counter-chase in the dense jungle.

Initially, the Jungle Blood Wolf King chased Yasuo, trying to tear this slippery bug into pieces.

But as time went on, the Jungle Blood Wolf King's speed gradually slowed, and its wounds became more numerous.

The S-Class Profession's stamina, combined with the Shadow Wind Set's HP recovery effect, made Yasuo almost tireless.

And the Jungle Blood Wolf King, despite its high HP and defense, couldn't withstand such continuous bleeding.

Gradually, the tables turned!

Yasuo no longer just dodged; he began to attack proactively.

Relying on his higher agility, he turned the tables and chased the Jungle Blood Wolf King!

His elegant footwork and sharp Sword Qi were like maggots clinging to bone, sticking tightly to the Jungle Blood Wolf King.

The Blood Wolf King, with all its brute strength, couldn't even touch Yasuo's clothes, only able to emit frustrated, unwilling roars.

Several more minutes passed.

The Jungle Blood Wolf King's HP was already critical.

Its movements were sluggish, and its attacks became weak and listless.

"Last strike!"

Yasuo's eyes flashed with brilliance, Lightning Rush and Thunderous Strike activated almost simultaneously!

His figure transformed into lightning, instantly thrusting forward to the Blood Wolf King's front, the longsword, imbued with terrifying lightning power, precisely pierced the Blood Wolf King's heart!

-1280! (Fatal Strike!)

"Awooo..."

The Jungle Blood Wolf King let out a final mournful cry, its massive body crashing to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Killed Jungle Blood Wolf King LV10 (Elite BOSS), gained 12000 experience points!

Obtained Materials: Wolf King Soul x1, Bloodstained Wolf King Fang x2, Tough Wolf King Pelt x1.

Twelve thousand experience points!

Yasuo's Rank instantly soared from LV9 (20%) to LV9 (50%)!

Just half a Rank away from reaching Rank 10!

Zhou Huai was overjoyed.

These several BOSS-grade rare Materials were even more valuable.

The Wolf King Soul was a core Material for certain potions and equipment.

The Bloodstained Wolf King Fang could be used to forge high-quality weapons.

The Tough Wolf King Pelt was an excellent Material for crafting fine armor.

Roughly estimated, these few items alone could easily sell for over 50,000 great xia currency!

This wave was a huge profit!

Yasuo bent down, preparing to pick up the spoils of war one by one.

Just then.

"Rustle, rustle..."

In the distance, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly came.

Yasuo suddenly looked up, his gaze like lightning, looking towards the direction of the sound.

He saw four or five figures emerging from the shadows of the forest, slowly approaching him with ill intentions.
