MMORPG: Martial Gamer

"Is the good show about to start?"

Seeing the expression on Yang Nuo's face, Wang Yu and the others showed an expectant look.

Having partnered with Yang Nuo for so long, everyone knew her little habits; she was usually honest and straightforward, but once she squinted her eyes, it meant she was about to get angry.

Women in a state of anger are always terrifying and unreasonable.

Sure enough, confronted with Athena, who was charging at her with a shield, Yang Nuo stepped forward with bare hands.

"What the heck! Is the archer really going to play like this?"

Seeing Yang Nuo's unreasonable actions, the audience's eyes nearly popped out.

It was one thing for an archer to engage in close combat; after all, the development of online games had spawned all kinds of eccentric players, so everyone could understand that.

But here was an archer who had thrown away her weapon and was now barehanded, engaging in a melee battle with a Guardian—this completely disregarded the rules of the system!

The Guardian was known as the king of melee combat. Although they didn't have high damage output, they were extremely powerful in PVP, boasting high defense and exceptional judgment, while also countering the strongest dueling class, the assassin. No melee class could match the close combat ability of the Guardian.

An archer throwing away her weapon and brawling with a Guardian was simply insane.

However, what the audience didn't know was that Yang Nuo and Wang Yu were both exceptional talents; for Yang Nuo, a bow and arrow were merely a hobby, while hand-to-hand combat was her ultimate state.

As the shield came crashing toward her, Yang Nuo positioned her left hand in front and her right hand behind, quickly grabbing the edge of the shield and using a technique to leverage the force against it. Simultaneously, she lowered her body, narrowly avoiding the shield as it passed by.

"Oh no!"

Athena may have been a gaming expert, but she wasn't a martial arts master. When Yang Nuo pulled on the shield, the force of the impact combined with Yang Nuo's pull caught Athena off guard.

Athena staggered and lost her balance, stumbling forward.

At that moment, Yang Nuo executed a peculiar maneuver and moved behind Athena. Before Athena could react, Yang Nuo raised her foot and kicked her right in the butt.

As Athena struggled to regain her balance, she was unexpectedly kicked again from behind, causing her to fall flat on her face.

Yang Nuo quickly followed up, stepping on Athena's right shoulder and neck while grabbing Athena's ponytail with her right hand.

Then, with her left hand, Yang Nuo felt around her thigh, pulled out a crossbow bolt, and stabbed it into the space between Athena's left shoulder and neck.

Although Yang Nuo wasn't as strong as Athena, she was targeting the scapula.

The scapula is a joint that dissipates force.

<<Rebirth>>, as a holographic simulation online game, while not achieving 100% realism, did do a good job with many details.

Without the sensation of pain, the scapula's function wouldn't have much impact, but with the bolt lodged in it and Yang Nuo pulling on her ponytail, Athena found it nearly impossible to strike back with her weapons in hand.

If anyone doubted this, they could try it with their girlfriend... but Uncle Bull wouldn't guarantee the outcome, and of course, everyone would need to have a girlfriend first.

As the world's number one Guardian, Athena was immensely proud, and being pressed down like this was a tremendous humiliation.

No matter how Athena struggled with her arms, she couldn't reach Yang Nuo.

"Is this woman stupid!"

Seeing Athena being pinned down and having her hair pulled by Yang Nuo, Ming Dong said, "She could just get up, right? With her strength, that shouldn't be difficult."

"Hehe!"

Wang Yu chuckled and said, "She can't get up; the Yang family's martial arts excels at neutralizing force."

"??? What does that mean???"

Wang Yu's silence might have been better; his explanation left everyone even more confused.

"Her strength has been neutralized!"

At this point, the exceptional talent helplessly provided an answer, realizing that expecting this group of mortals to understand the principle was indeed challenging.

"Ohhh..."

Although everyone still didn't fully understand, they got the general idea.

It seemed that Athena's brute force had been neutralized by Yang Nuo using some martial technique... In the past, no one would have believed such a thing, but after interacting with Wang Yu, they had no choice but to accept it.

"They won't just keep stepping on each other, will they?"

Ming Dong stroked his chin and said, "Even if they are both beauties, we didn't come here just to watch wrestling."

"Not likely!" Wang Yu replied: "As long as the opponent is willing to drop their weapons, with no obstacles, they can turn around—this is what true disarmament means."

"What the heck! Is it really like that?"

Everyone was deeply impressed by Wang Yu's explanation... it seemed that playing tricks in front of martial arts masters was still far beyond the abilities of ordinary people.

As soon as Wang Yu finished speaking, it seemed Athena on the field heard him; she loosened her grip and tossed her spear and shield aside.

Without weapons, Athena flipped over and grabbed Yang Nuo's foot with both hands.

Yang Nuo didn't have the strength to resist Athena, and her foot was suddenly pulled towards Athena's chest, causing her to sit down unexpectedly.

Athena seized the opportunity to sit up and faced Yang Nuo directly, extending her palm and striking Yang Nuo's cheek with two loud slaps.

"Slap! Slap!"

The crisp sound echoed in the ears of the audience.

"Whoa!!!!"

Seeing this scene, everyone widened their eyes, astonished.

Hitting someone in the face, especially a woman, was quite a taboo, and slapping an opponent in front of everyone seemed to indicate that Athena was really angry.

But Yang Nuo was not the type to show weakness; enraged, she disregarded her status as a martial artist and reached out, aiming for Athena's face, making a sudden grab.

"Rip!!!"

Athena's cheeks were immediately marked with ten bloody scratches from Yang Nuo's grip.

"666"

The audience burst into cheers.

The attacks of the two girls had clearly transcended the realm of game combat. What was initially just a match, with winning or losing being merely a matter of points, had erupted into a genuine fight.

"Die!"

Athena yelled in anger, using her strength to push Yang Nuo's arms aside and delivering a punch to Yang Nuo's chest.

Fortunately, Yang Nuo had a small chest, so the damage wasn't severe; she was merely knocked backward.

However, Yang Nuo wasn't idle either; in the instant she rolled away, she grabbed onto Athena's dress.

"Rip..."

Another strange sound echoed.

Athena's outfit was torn open at the chest, revealing her fair skin.

"Mmm..."

As the audience gazed at Athena's chest, they fell into contemplation.

How could they not ponder? Fashion is such an expensive thing, and women's clothing consists of only a few scraps of fabric; when calculated by area, it's even more expensive than gold.

With that one claw, Yang Nuo had caused a 30% damage to the outfit... such a waste!
