Winning one hundred consecutive battles in the arena…
This task would definitely prove to be a nightmare for ordinary players.
After all, the matchmaking mechanism of the arena was not random. As one chalked up more wins, the system would match you to players that were roughly the same skill level.
There were many extremely skilled players who played the arena all year long. There were even more hidden experts. It was likely to meet one of these players after winning a few matches…
Therefore, with this immense depth of experts in the arena, even top-tier expert players could not guarantee victory in every single match.
This difficulty in the arena was amplified further in the team battle.
That being said, for Wang Yu, winning one hundred consecutive battles was not a problem.
After receiving the quest, Wang Yu did not say much and headed straight for the arena…
Wang Yu was not unfamiliar with the arena because he had spent a period of his life training there. He opened up the matching mode.
Wang Yu winning percentage was currently at 100 percent because he had yet to suffer a single loss in the arena. According to the matchmaking rules of the arena, Wang Yu would be matched with players with a similarly high winning percentage.
A white light flashed past and Wang Yu was transferred into the arena. He reappeared across his opponent and the arena statistics for his opponent opened on the interface.
Green Plum Wine, Level 47, Assassin, 78% winning percentage, 4114 matches.
“Huh? Meeting an expert in the first round…” Wang Yu felt a burst of delight as he saw the player’s information.
At this stage, most of the first generation players were already around level 45. Those who were at level 47 were expert players other than the ones from Twilight City.
The fact that this player could maintain a 78 percent winning percentage after more than four thousand matches highlighted his immense level of skill.
Wang Yu was also an expert player so he knew first hand the difficulty of such battles.
On the opposite side, Green Plum Wine saw Wang Yu’s ID and got a mild shock.
“Iron Bull? Isn’t he that guy? I heard that he is an expert but I don’t know his winning percentage,” Green Plum Wine muttered to himself as his eyes glanced over to the interface.
The winning percentage was 100 percent over 148 matches.
“Damn!” Seeing Wang Yu’s perfect record, Green Plum Wine was taken aback.
Although Wang Yu had played a much smaller number of matches than him, a 100 percent winning percentage was not achievable by the ordinary player.
Green Wine Plum was equally familiar with the matchmaking mechanism. The highest winning percentage he had ever achieved was 80 percent because, at that point, every single match was against a top tier expert… He was bound to lose a few of them and consequently his winning percentage would decrease.
There were only two possibilities to obtain a 100-percent winning percentage. First was either by one’s unrivaled strength and the other was through meeting easy opponents…
The former relied on one’s individual prowess while the latter was relying on one’s luck. However, luck was not to be discounted as a part of one’s strength. It was difficult to assess the strength of a lucky person so meeting either type of players would still prove to be a terrifying encounter.
Green Plum Wine glanced at the map as his figure fleeted towards Wang Yu.
He was an Assassin after all. Going into stealth was his primary form of combat. This was even more crucial against an opponent with a perfect victory record. Green Plum Wine was not going to let down his guard for a single moment.
Although one hundred matches was not a challenge to Wang Yu, it was still a tedious and tiresome matter… Even if one had one hundred buns before you, you still had to spend a considerable amount of effort to gobble them up…
Wang Yu did not even bother to locate his opponent who was invisible since he could not find him anyway.
Green Plum Wine was immediately on alert after seeing that Wang Yu had yet to move a single inch away from his original position. His battle EQ signalled to him that something was amiss.
Standing still was what only a novice would do after all…
If this was truly a novice, Green Plum Wine would have instantly slashed the opponent before he even realised what came at him. However, his opponent now was no novice. He was the famed expert Iron Bull with a perfect victory record. Green Plum Wine would not dare to slash at him without any thought.
“Did he do something to the terrain?” Green Plum Wine touched his chin in contemplation, ruminating over the potential schemes Wang Yu had set up for him.
Setting up traps in the terrain was one tactic to break an Assassin’s stealth skills.
It was also not difficult for an Assassin to deal with that because, in general, the range of [Probing Skill] was only 1000. Players also could not maintain this skill indefinitely; therefore, Assassins could easily stand at a distance and wait for the skill to time out before going in for the kill.
Green Plum Wine had an even better way of dealing with such a tactic.
After he finished surveying his surroundings, he headed stealthily in Wang Yu’s direction. He laid eyes on Wang Yu in the distance.
Wang Yu was sitting there serenely with a gold knife in his hands.
“Hehe!”
Green Plum Wine stifled a snigger and raised his dagger as he prepared to strike.
At this moment, Wang Yu lifted his head and stared straight in the direction of Green Plum Wine.
“Hm?”
Green Plum Wine was taken aback. F*ck, can this guy actually see me?
Green Plum Wine quickly rejected that thought as he furrowed his eyebrows, “This cannot be the case. He is still so far away. This must be a coincidence!”
Green Plum Wine flipped his left hand and took out a four-cornered dart, placing it in the palm of his hands.
[Squalor Shuriken] was a rare Assassin’s skill where the user could throw multiple Shurikens at a target.
At this juncture, Wang Yu finally stood up as he took big strides in the direction of Green Plum Wine.
“Sh*t, does he have eyes underneath his feet?”
Green Plum Wine could not help but be impressed by Wang Yu. He threw the sword viciously at Wang Yu and unleashed a hail of shurikens at him. He quickly activated haste and ran away in the opposite direction.
In the face of these shurikens, Wang Yu did not even stop once as he rushed onward to intercept them.
Just when the shurikens were going to deal a lethal blow to him, Wang Yu reached out and agilely plucked these shurikens out from the air. He collected the whole bunch of them and flicked them all back in Green Plum Wine’s direction.
These shurikens flew towards Green Plum Wine and hit him squarely on the neck. However, Green Plum Wine’s HP did not even decrease one bit.
“Broken game…” Wang Yu sighed as he chased up after him.
