With a sudden stop, Chu Rui's steps trembled, and he pushed off with his toes, performing a side flip to dodge the elite gray wolf charging at high speed. He thrust the novice wooden sword in his hand, piercing it fiercely into the body of the elite gray wolf.
There were no weak points, no critical hits.
However, the elite gray wolf did not expect Chu Rui to suddenly make such a move. With its high speed, it could not stop in time and rushed past. That simple stab, due to its high-speed impact, caused the wooden sword to wreak havoc inside its flesh. By the time the elite gray wolf stopped, a large wound had already been torn open in its body. Although this was a data-driven game with no real wounds, the damage was very real. A normal stab, but because of the opportunity seized, it dealt 42 points of damage to the elite gray wolf.
"Ugh..."
Lowering its head, the elite gray wolf walked back and forth in front of Chu Rui, its fierce wolf mouth opening and closing, the sharp fangs dripping with disgusting saliva. Its wolf eyes, filled with bloodlust, stared at him, emitting low, deep growls.
Chu Rui's eyes narrowed, his pupils constricted, and he stared at the elite gray wolf without blinking. His entire body's aura gathered, and he gripped the novice wooden sword, focusing all his attention on it.
"Roar..."
Unable to bear Chu Rui's needle-like gaze, the violent elite gray wolf, driven by the pain in its body, launched an attack first.
"Hmph!"
A hint of disdainful coldness appeared at the corner of his mouth. At the same speed, this elite gray wolf dared to charge straight, which was simply courting death.
Agile Wind!
Without hesitation, he activated Agile Wind, his speed instantly increasing to 10, five times that of the elite gray wolf!
Rushing forward at high speed, he stopped abruptly when he was just one meter away from the gray wolf, kicking out fiercely, his foot colliding with the gray wolf's extended claw.

-36
Two damage numbers appeared above the heads of the elite gray wolf and Chu Rui.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Chu Rui pushed off with his foot, swinging to the right, and the gray wolf's claw was kicked away, leaving it wide open.
He pounced, thrusting the novice wooden sword in his hand fiercely into the throat of the elite gray wolf, hitting the bullseye!
-102
Weak point damage plus critical hit damage, dealing a staggering 100 points of damage to the elite gray wolf in one go!
It wasn't over yet!
Chu Rui ignored the elite gray wolf's howl of pain, applying more force, he twisted, and the wooden sword wreaked havoc in its throat.
Ducking to avoid the gray wolf's sweeping claw, Chu Rui swung hard, using the wooden sword still embedded in the elite gray wolf's throat to slash, cutting it out of the flesh.

...
After a series of stabs, slashes, and cuts, he dealt over eighty points of damage to the elite gray wolf and triggered bleeding damage, causing it to lose 10 points of health per second!
Stab, slash, point, cut, wipe!
Taking advantage of the elite gray wolf's injury, Chu Rui, under the limited effect of Agile Wind, quickly circled around it, ruthlessly and mercilessly attacking!
Although most of the one minute was spent on movement, the elite gray wolf, already crippled, still saw its health drop to double digits under the continuous attacks to its weak points.
It was over!
The effect of Agile Wind disappeared, and Chu Rui, now back to the same speed as the gray wolf, stopped, pouncing instantly, ignoring the sharp claws of the elite gray wolf, and thrust the novice wooden sword fiercely into its right eye.
-146
-95
Two damage numbers appeared above the heads of Chu Rui and the elite gray wolf.
The yellow critical hit damage almost brought Chu Rui's full health to the brink, nearly killing him. Unfortunately, it was just a bit short. Chu Rui's final blow cleared the elite gray wolf's health. With a mournful howl, the elite gray wolf finally fell.
"Phew..."
Rubbing his slightly painful chest, Chu Rui panted heavily and sat down on the ground. Already somewhat tired, his body felt like it was falling apart after the battle with the elite gray wolf. Fortunately, this damned wolf was just a low-level monster, only using high-speed charges. If it had used more tactics, even with Agile Wind, Chu Rui might not have been able to handle it so easily.
However, the hard work paid off. Looking at the items dropped by the gray wolf's corpse, Chu Rui couldn't help but smile.
He didn't miss a single copper coin, putting everything into his backpack.
First, he opened the attribute panel and added the two free attribute points from leveling up to strength. Seeing the 87% experience bar, Chu Rui smiled slightly. Elite monsters were indeed different; just defeating one had earned him a full level.
Opening his backpack, he first checked the coins, finding five silver coins and thirty-two copper coins, which made him very happy. After fighting gray wolves for three hours, he had only received three silver coins, but one elite gray wolf gave him more than five silver coins. Money was secondary; the most crucial was that this little boss had given him two pieces of equipment, which was the most valuable.
Wolf Fang Dagger: Green equipment, attack 8-15! Requires level 5! Durability 13/20!
[Passive effect] Rip: Has a chance to cause continuous bleeding damage to enemies!
Gray Wolf Boots: Common equipment, defense 3, speed +1! Requires level 3! Durability 8/10!
The two pieces of equipment filled Chu Rui with joy! Although he could use the novice wooden sword as a dagger, it was never as good as a real dagger. Now, he had actually obtained a dagger, and it was even a colored piece of equipment, which made him extremely excited. Moreover, in addition to the Wolf Fang Dagger, the elite gray wolf generously gave him a pair of Gray Wolf Boots. The additional three points of defense were nice, but the extra point of speed made Chu Rui extremely happy. Speed was his forte, and the faster he was, the more effective he would be in combat.
A step ahead, and every step will be ahead!
Chu Rui understood this well!
At the beginning, even a small difference can be magnified by those who seize opportunities.
Although Chu Rui could not say he was ahead of everyone, he was definitely ahead of most. As long as he continued at this pace, he would definitely become one of the strongest in the game. The world was vast, and Chu Rui was not arrogant enough to think he was the best. Confidence was good, but excessive confidence turned into arrogance. Perhaps he was not the best now, but he had ambition and would work hard and strive for it. With his own strength and talent, becoming the best was not impossible!
Smiling, he equipped the dagger and shoes, immediately increasing his attack, defense, and speed.
He put the novice wooden sword and novice shoes he had taken off into his backpack. There was no way to discard them. Each player had fifty inventory slots, which was more than enough for the current situation, so there was no need to worry about running out of space.
After organizing his backpack, Chu Rui was surprised to find another item.
Gray Wolf Fur: Common material, can be used to sew common cloth armor!
Damn, there was a piece of fur in the corner that he hadn't noticed. Although it couldn't make colored equipment, it was still better than the novice clothes. Ha! Now he had a weapon, clothes, and shoes, which was quite good for a novice. As for gloves, belts, capes, and jewelry, they were too far off!
Looking up at the slightly inclined slope, Chu Rui thought for a moment and decided to continue forward. His current physical condition could not handle another elite monster, but he was eager to experience the new equipment. If he encountered an elite monster, he could always retreat. He didn't believe that elite monsters would be so abundant that they would be everywhere on the slope!
After walking forward for a short while, he saw a gray wolf wagging its tail slightly, leisurely strolling. Upon closer inspection, he breathed a sigh of relief; it was just a regular gray wolf, which was good!
Feeling the Wolf Fang Dagger in his hand, Chu Rui smiled and rushed over. Even with his full set of novice equipment, he could easily defeat a gray wolf, and now with the Wolf Fang Dagger and Gray Wolf Boots, it was even easier. A clean throat slash, a graceful brain stab, and he pierced the gray wolf's neck from front to back. Two weak point hits plus critical hits, and the gray wolf was KO'd without even a whimper!
For Chu Rui, a regular gray wolf was no challenge at all. Seeing the experience bar approaching 90% for level 5, he thought for a moment and decided to continue killing monsters, planning to return to the city after reaching level 6.
Continuing up the slope, he ruthlessly slaughtered for nearly two hours, reaching 99% experience!
Unconsciously, he had reached the top of the slope. Looking around, there were no gray wolves, not even a single wolf hair. Chu Rui was frustrated; at 99%, there were no more monsters?
Just as he was about to descend the slope and return to the city, he glanced forward and was surprised to see a mountain at the edge of the slope, with a forest at its base that was neither sparse nor dense.
Driven by curiosity, Chu Rui bit his lip and decided to continue forward.
Entering the forest, Chu Rui felt a sense of tension in the environment. Others might not notice, but as the King of Assassins, he was very familiar with such feelings.
Holding the Wolf Fang Dagger, Chu Rui moved cautiously, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings. If anything unusual happened, he would react immediately.
Tense, he walked for about five minutes, passing through a low jungle, and then, after walking past a large rock, he quickly darted back.
"Swallow..."
Swallowing hard, Chu Rui cautiously peeked out from behind the rock.
In a clearing at the base of the mountain, a massive wolf lay, and not far from it, three smaller wolves lay in different directions, as if guarding the large wolf.
Boss!?
