I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

the next day.

If the world chat channel on the first night was just a minor skirmish, by the morning of the second day, discussions about the "value of the server-wide championship" had spread from the world chat channel to major forums, live streaming platforms, and even social media in the real world.

It all started with a post.

The post's title is straightforward: [The Server-Wide Champion Seen Through the Fog: Is He Truly Deserving of the Title? In-Depth Analysis Reveals the Truth]

The poster is a seasoned data analysis player in Zone 1, whose ID is "King of Data".

He used a large amount of data and charts in his post to analyze in detail the composition of the participants in this Supreme Arena. His core argument was singular:

Too many truly top-tier players were absent from this competition.

He made a list.

Server 1: Eternal Spear (Max level, universally recognized as the server's top physical damage dealer, currently challenging the seventh level of the God's Realm)

Zone 2: Voidwalker (Max level, Time Mage, the only player to successfully stop time in actual combat)

Server 5: Dragon Soul War God (Max level, Dragon Knight, possesses the legendary flying dragon mount "Skybreaker")

District 7: Drinking Alone Under the Moon (Max Level, Shadow Dancer, ranked No. 1 on the Shadow Council Assassination Ranking for three consecutive years)

District 11: Iron Fist (Max level, Berserker, can deal 200,000 physical damage with one punch)

District 15: The Holy Lightbringer (Max level, Paladin, known as "Immortal" because no one can kill him)

There are more than a dozen names following the list, each of whom is a well-known figure in their respective district.

"Why didn't these people participate?" the King of Data wrote. "Because they have already entered the Realm of Gods. The Realm of Gods is the ultimate challenge in the Origin Realm, and only players at the maximum level are qualified to enter. These people are at the very top of the entire Origin Realm pyramid, true kings standing at the pinnacle."

"The current arena is like an Olympics without top athletes. For someone like 'Seeing Through the Fog' to win in such a competition is like winning the 100-meter dash without Usain Bolt. He may be the fastest person on the track, but can you say he's the fastest person in the world?"

This post was forwarded hundreds of thousands of times within two hours.

The comments section is highly polarized.

Supporter: "That's absolutely right! Fog of the Blossoms is indeed impressive, but China Mountain is definitely not qualified to be number one in the entire server. Try putting Eternal Spear in the correction arena and see what happens? One shot and Fog of the Blossoms is gone."

Opponents: "Are you guys blind? The leveling field pushed everyone to level 50, so even Eternal Spear comes in with level 50 stats! Mist-Seeing-Flower could one-shot sixteen people at level 50, can Eternal Spear do that at level 50?"

Supporter: "You know nothing! The skills and combat awareness that Eternal Spear has accumulated at max level are beyond the comprehension of you newbies. The skill tree can't be suppressed in the correction field! Can your level 50 skill tree compare to his max-level skill tree?"

Opponents: "His 'Seeing Through the Fog' skill is self-created! Arcane Archers don't have a skill tree! His 'Starburst Arrow' and 'Sunpiercing Arrow' are skills only he knows. You couldn't learn them even if you leveled your Eternal Spear to 300!"

The argument escalated.

Players from all regions took sides, and what started as a discussion thread eventually escalated into a major debate involving all 36 regions of the server.

Most players in the new server support "Seeing Through the Fog". Their stance is simple: if you're not happy, come and fight. The rules of the revised arena are there; come in and have a match, then you'll know.

Players in older servers generally hold a skeptical attitude towards this charade. They have seen too many cases of "new server geniuses" being crushed when they encounter true veteran players.

In their view, even if he is strong enough to see through the fog, it is only a temporary strength. Once he enters the high-end content above level 100, he will know what the true Origin Realm is.

The sharpest sound came from Zone 1.

Server 1 is the oldest server in Origin Realm, boasting the most high-level players and the most comprehensive strategy system. Players in Server 1 have a natural sense of superiority, believing they represent the highest level of skill in the game.

Now a newbie from District 21 suddenly appears claiming to be number one in the entire server?

Many players in Zone 1 reacted with: "Are you kidding me?"

"How long has Area 21 been open? Less than two months. What's the highest level a player in this area can reach? Seventy? Eighty? A server with a maximum level of seventy has a player who's the top player in the entire server? You're telling me that's reasonable?"

"The correction field only corrects the numbers, it can't correct the underlying essence. Can a level 70 player's understanding of the game compare to a level 200 player? What a joke."

"Go watch the battle replays of the Eternal Spear; that's what real power is. What kind of skill is it for someone like Mist-Seeing-Flowers to beat a bunch of level 50 noobs in the correction field?"

These comments spread widely across various forums.

In the afternoon, even several well-known game commentators joined the discussion.

The famous commentator "Gun God Commentator" from Zone 1 publicly stated during a live stream:

"Looking at Flowers Through the Mist is strong, but he's not the strongest in the entire server. The strongest in the entire server is Eternal Spear, without a doubt."

"The championship he won while the big bosses were away was a chance for him to become the king among a bunch of underlings. I have serious doubts about whether he can hold onto his title as the number one in the entire server once the big bosses come out of the God's Realm."

"To put it bluntly, he won because he got an early start. When Area 21 just launched, he was lucky enough to awaken the Arcane Archer and also caught up with this Supreme Arena."

"He had all the advantages: timing, location, and support. But luck can't always be on your side. Once you reach a higher level, in a real fight, he might not be able to win."

Clips of this live stream circulated across the internet, further intensifying the controversy.

The players in District 21 went from initial excitement to anger.

"On what grounds do they question our president?"

"These people from the old revolutionary base areas are just jealous!"

"Don't argue with them. Just wait until the student council president gets promoted and then beat them all up, okay?"

Inside the Thousand Gold Pavilion, Lin Hai looked at the overwhelming public opinion, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

He turned to look at Hua Zitong.

"Vice President, should this matter be addressed?"

Hua Zitong shook her head.

"Need not."

"No need? It's so noisy outside..."

"Let them argue," Hua Zitong said. "The whole server is discussing this in a fog, whether it's praising or criticizing, it's just giving us free kills."

Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Yes.

Whether it's positive reporting or negative discussion, as long as the names "Seeing Through the Fog" and "Myth Guild" remain in the public eye, it's a win.

"Moreover," Hua Zitong added.

"And what?"

"The president doesn't care about these things."

Lin Hai thought for a moment and smiled helplessly.

Yes, the president really doesn't care.

That person never speaks with his mouth.

He relied on arrows.
