Kill Bristleback (Rank A)
Description: Head to the south gate of Daylight City, kill the Bristleback, and obtain the quest item - Steel Crystal.
Requirements: The lowest grade of Steelback Beast is Yellow Rank Boss.
"Holy crap, a boss?" Wang Ming was in a bind. He had thought that the Steelback Beast that Jia Bujia had mentioned was an elite monster, but he never expected it to be a boss.
"I've already killed the Heavenly Rank boss in the level 30 hidden map, so I'm naturally not afraid of the Yellow Rank boss at level 33. But this Yellow Rank boss is still a boss. If I kill this boss, the first kill reward will be +1 level, which would be really annoying."
Wang Ming then opened the ranking leaderboard.

...
"There are fewer than 100 players who have reached level 30. This yellow-tier boss has most likely not been killed by the first player. Damn it, this is insane."
"You can't have your cake and eat it too. If I can get the first kill on the boss, I might as well get it in order to upgrade the Chaos Origin Gauntlets."
"However, there are many blacksmith shops in Baizhou City, so we can't completely trust what Jia Bujia says. We can go and check out other blacksmith shops first."
Wang Ming summoned Cerberus and then, following the map of Daylight City, began to wander around the city.
Not to mention blacksmith shops, Wang Ming visited weapon shops, jewelry shops, and any other shops related to equipment, but the information he obtained was exactly the same as what Jia Bujia had said.
In the entire city of Bai Zhou, only Jia Bu Jia can produce refined iron essence.
"It seems that Jia Bu Jia wasn't lying. Fine, I'll just go find the Bristleback." Without further hesitation, Wang Ming rode Cerberus towards the Bristleback's territory.
"System notification: You have entered the Tianwei Forest. Please proceed with caution."
"System notification: You have been attacked by White Mane Sirius, HP -1."
"System notification: You have been attacked by White Mane Sirius, HP -1."
......
As soon as Wang Ming entered the Tianwei Forest, several giant wolves with white manes on their necks and saliva dripping from their mouths attacked him. However, the attacks of these white-maned wolves were too weak to break through Wang Ming's defenses.
Wang Ming ignored the monsters and continued running towards the location of the Bristleback. Half an hour later, he arrived at the Bristleback's territory.
Wang Ming jumped off Cerberus and used Insight on Bristleback.

"This is a Bristleback. Why does it look like a wild boar? And its stats are really trash."
"Clang, clang~" This group of steelback beasts held an iron hammer in their hands and walked upright on their two hind legs like humans. When they saw Wang Ming, they grunted twice and charged towards him.
"Hehe, perfect. You guys try out my new skill. Little dog, stay where you are."
"Piercing Fist!"
Wang Ming watched as a group of Bristlebacks charged towards him and immediately activated his skill, Piercing Fist.
A phantom of a fist pierced through the first Bristleback and charged forward.
Within a 10-meter radius in front of Wang Ming, a series of damage attacks erupted from the Bristlebacks, who collapsed to the ground before they could even utter a cry of pain.
Furthermore, based on all Bristlebacks within a 10-meter straight line of the punch attack, huge damage values also appeared on the Bristlebacks in the left and right sides.
All of these damages were split damage, and all the Bristlebacks hit by the split damage fell to the ground.
"System notification: Congratulations on killing the Bristleback. You have gained 2000 experience points, an additional 600 experience points, and 3 merit points. You have also gained an additional 6 merit points."
"System notification: Your Soul Devouring has been successfully activated, and you have gained 1 free attribute point."
"System notification: Your Soul Devouring has been successfully activated, and you have gained 1 point of Fire Attribute Enhancement Value."
"System notification: Your Soul Devouring attack was successfully activated. You have gained 1 point of Soul Power."
"System notification: Your pet has gained 2000 experience points."
"System notification: Congratulations on killing the mutated Bristleback Beast. You have gained 3000 experience points, an additional 900 experience points, and 5 merit points. You have also gained an additional 10 merit points."
"System notification: Your Soul Devouring has been successfully activated. You have obtained..."
......
With just one punch, the once-aggressive Steelback Beast was completely wiped out by Wang Ming.
"The Chaos Fist Master's Splitting Fist can be affected by skill attacks. With this punch, the striking area of my penetrating fist has changed from a straight 10 meters to a giant striking area of 25 meters x 15 meters."
"Holy crap, this isn't just a qualitative change, it's a complete mutation."
"Awesome!" Wang Ming roared, then locked onto a Steelback not far away and unleashed the skill Sky-Piercing Punch.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
Wang Ming only felt the whistling of the wind in his ears. In the blink of an eye, Wang Ming disappeared from his original spot and arrived in front of the Bristleback he had locked onto. At the same time, an air shield appeared on Wang Ming's body, knocking away the Bristlebacks he bumped into along the way.
Even though the damage dealt to enemies in the path of the Sky-Piercing Punch was halved, the Steelback Beasts that Wang Ming knocked away were already dead when they hit the ground.
"Be strong, keep going."
"Grasping Fist!"
Wang Ming locked onto a Bristleback and launched a grappling punch. The Bristleback's body was involuntarily pulled in front of Wang Ming and crashed directly into his fist, dying instantly.
"Phantom Fist!"
Wang Ming rushed to the front of the Bristleback in three quick steps, and then unleashed another Phantom Fist. The Bristleback in front of him was hit by a series of illusory fists, and its health was reduced to zero.
The Bristleback, struck by Phantom Punch, triggered Split Punch's effect again, killing another nearby Bristleback.
"Although the Phantom Fist's attack range is only about 2 meters, it is inherently a cone-shaped area-of-effect attack skill. With cones stacked on top of each other, the Phantom Fist's destructive power is no less than that of the Piercing Fist!"
"Haha, awesome! Little dog, you attack too!" Wang Ming shouted and charged into the pack of Steelback Beasts.
