To be completely honest, Mu Wuying wasn't hiding or anything like that. It was just that she never had the need to really step out in front.
However, soon everyone would know the reason why she firmly occupied a top position among the top ten players in China. At the same time, everyone would realize that in reality, if she wanted to, Mu Wuying could climb much higher in the rankings.
[Three-horned Minotaur
Grade: LORD
Level: 15

The Three-Horned Minotaur was almost three meters tall, its explosive muscles were so huge that even the body of a full-grown man could not compare. In addition to the two horns on either side of its head, a third horn was located right in the center of the monster's forehead.
However, the most eye-catching was undoubtedly the heavy axe held by the Three-Horned Minotaur. The axe had two extremely curved, extremely sharp ends and its length was approximately 2 meters just considering the handle of the weapon.
Earlier, the players started attacking the Three-Horned Minotaur but all of them were easily slaughtered. Every time a warrior tried to attack the monster, it swung its axe in a horizontal slash and sent them flying, after a second hit, the lives of several warriors were taken. When the assassins tried to sneak up from behind and attack the beast from the back, they could only hit once or twice before being stunned by the boss's stomp; after being stunned, the Three-Horned Minotaur finished them off easily.
The only ones who could cause considerable damage to the Three-Horned Minotaur were the archers firing arrows consecutively and the mages casting all kinds of spells from a distance. But even the archers and mages had a bad time as the Three-Horned Minotaur used Stampede to run at full speed towards its targets and finish them off one by one.
After approximately seventy players were killed, Mu Wuying finally could not continue to watch such senseless slaughter so she decided to step forward.
One Man Army volunteered to do the heavy lifting, but Mu Wuying politely declined their offer and insisted on ending the beast's life herself. This was because later, in case of Xie Feng remembered the words she had said to him before the battle started and needed her help, Mu Wuying could assist him without anyone complaining if she left her place for several minutes.
After all, no one would have the right to complain about anything if she single-handedly killed a monster that could easily end the lives of hundreds of players.
As for if something bad happened during her absence, then Mu Wuying could only lament the uselessness of One Man Army and Unsurpassed Defense since as elite players, they should be able to fight without her help for a certain amount of time.
Naturally, Mu Wuying was thinking all this in case Xie Feng really needed her help, if not, then it was fine for her as well. Mu Wuying simply wanted to make sure to do things correctly, that was all.
Hmph
The Three-Horned Minotaur snorted as a human would and two pillars of smoke rose from both nostrils as it glared at the small human blocking its path. Then, without delay, the beast leaned forward and charged at full speed.
Seeing the house-sized monster running furiously at herself, the basic reaction would be to turn and run away or try to get out of the way. However, Mu Wuying did neither and instead stood in the same spot.
With a smile on her face and no mask covering her face, everyone could see that she was not the least bit worried about the incoming beast's attack. Even One Man Army and Unsurpassed Defense couldn't help but frown a little as they wondered what this woman was doing.
Just when the Three-Horned Minotaur was only a meter away from Mu Wuying, she finally made her move. With an extremely simple and effortless move, she took a step to the right, causing the huge body of the Three-Horned Minotaur to pass just a few millimeters away from her body; however, the monster failed to even touch the tip of her sky blue robe.
Immediately afterwards, with a casual smile on her face, Mu Wuying waved the navy blue staff in her right hand and a crimson spear formed of energy shot towards the monster that had not yet stopped.
Bang!
-1149
The crimson spear hit the back of the Three-Horned Minotaur that had not yet stopped and after the magic spell exploded, a terrifying figure formed by four digits slowly rose above the monster's head.
"What!?" Unsurpassed Defense shouted aloud without a care for its surroundings. "How can this be possible?"
One Man Army frowned deeply and did not answer his question. Instead, he simply looked silently at Mu Wuying trying to comprehend what had just happened.
The reason why they were surprised was because Mu Wuying's damage was too high. After all, that damage was caused normally, meaning it was not a critical hit. In other words, Mu Wuying's damage had broken the thousand point barrier by a wide margin considering that she was currently facing a monster of a higher level and grade than her!
The main problem was that before the battle began, in order to know better what the other side could do, they showed their stats to each other. Although this could be considered stupid since it was practically the same as standing naked in the middle of the street, none of them were worried since they were still low level players and their stats would change a lot in just a few more weeks or months.
But they clearly saw that Mu Wuying's magic damage was 650; although high and scary, still understandable. But given that she had 650 magic damage, then it was completely impossible for her to cause over 1000 points of damage to a boss like the Three-Horned Minotaur without a critical hit!
Therefore, there was undoubtedly something mysterious about Mu Wuying's Spirit of Love class.
However, when One Man Army and Unsurpassed Defense wanted to share details about their battle classes to learn more about each other's powers, Mu Wuying firmly refused and just said that her class was different from the rest, so there was no point in sharing information about it.
"Hey, what's that!?"
Just when the two elite players were confused and surprised, a player in the crowd shouted, attracting everyone's attention.
It was then that they noticed that just as the Three-Horned Minotaur stopped, another crimson spear of energy was summoned by Mu Wuying and hit the boss again.
-1150
Even before the Three-Horned Minotaur could do anything else, another spear hit it.
-2320! (Critical Hit!)
"Three attacks in two seconds..." One Man Army muttered with his eyes wide open, not believing what he was seeing.
It was then that they realized that if Mu Wuying so wished, let alone finding herself in the top 5 if she wanted to she could very well fight for the top 1! With such a high casting speed and scary damage, practically all the bosses would have no choice but to kneel down in front of her!
The battle continued and the Three-Horned Minotaur once again tried to strike at the fragile woman who humiliated it. However, no matter how hard it tried, Mu Wuying always dodged the monster's axe blows by a hair's distance. Every time the Three-Horned Minotaur tried to stun her with its Stomp skill, Mu Wuying left the skill's area of effect and when the beast tried to approach her, Mu Wuying elegantly evaded the charge.
In less than ten seconds, with a roar of pain and helplessness, the Three-Horned Minotaur that practically humiliated everyone fell to the ground with a thud.
All the players stared open-mouthed at the beautiful woman standing next to the beast's corpse. That beautiful, casual smile had never left her face; as if what she had just done was nothing more than child's play.
"But..." Unbeatable Defense suddenly frowned. "Why did she only use a single spell? During the entire battle, except for that red spear, there was nothing else to emphasize if we leave aside those terrifying reflexes..."
One Man Army hesitated for a moment before answering with a doubtful tone: "Maybe because she didn't want to expose too much...? Or maybe because she felt it wasn't necessary to use more spells?"
"*Hmph*...Maybe that spell is the strongest spell she has and for that reason, she was not willing to show us about her class? Yes, that must be it." The Shield Guardian with a big shield on his back and a one-handed sword at his waist, Unsurpassed Defense, suddenly snorted as if he was annoyed about something.
