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

For the next twelve hours, Li Wu transformed into a pure killing machine within the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons.

The second Dragon Soul Altar houses forty-three level 89 elite dragonborn, plus a level 91 lord, the "Skeleton Dragon Guardian."

Li Wu cleared the area in less than three minutes.

Altar reward: 600,000 experience points.

The level remains unchanged!

The third Dragon Soul Altar, with sixty level 90 elite dragonborn and two level 92 lords.

Li Wu spent five minutes. The two lords had a combined health of over seven million, but against the Blazing Sun Piercing Arrow, seven million health was nothing more than a matter of firing a few more arrows.

Altar reward: 1 million experience points.

Level: 84.

The fourth altar is deeper, and the monsters there are level 91 to 93.

There were also more, nearly eighty.

Li Wu encountered some trouble here.

It wasn't that he couldn't beat them, but rather that the monster's attacks were beginning to pose a real threat to him.

A level 93 elite dragonborn can take away a third of his health with a single claw strike.

If they were surrounded, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But Li Wu's approach was simple: avoid getting surrounded.

The mobility of Blink Arrow is fully demonstrated in this situation.

He moved at high speed among the stone pillars around the altar, each time appearing with two or three arrows, then disappearing immediately after firing them.

The dragonborn can't catch him.

Their speed is considered fast among monsters above level 90, but it's still a level below Blink Arrow.

Li Wu cleared out the eighty dragon descendants in eight minutes.

Altar reward: 1.2 million experience points.

Level: 85.

Li Wu did not stop to rest.

He drank a bottle of energy potion and continued toward the fifth altar.

His mind was racing the whole way.

The other side sent at least three people who were level 100 or higher, and Hua Zitong said there might be five.

Five level 100 experts joined forces to kill one person.

This lineup is overwhelmingly powerful anywhere; a level 100 player's attributes completely surpass those of anyone below level 90.

They have a deeper skill set, more combat experience, and better equipment.

But Li Wu didn't think he would lose.

The reason is simple: his attributes are not those of a normal level 85 player.

Did the other side study his combat videos?

So what?

His skills are constantly evolving; he is not the same person he was a week ago.

"The key is level," Li Wu calculated in his mind. "The level difference leads to a suppression of basic attributes. If I can raise my level to ninety-five, the difference in basic attributes will narrow to an acceptable range. In addition, my intelligence and luck far exceed those of my peers..."

His conclusion was: Level 95 is enough.

It's not that level 95 guarantees an easy win, but rather that level 95, combined with all his advantages, gives him a win rate of over 70%.

70%.

For Li Wu, 70% was enough; he made up the remaining 30% through skillful maneuvering and on-the-spot adaptability.

The fifth altar.

The monsters here are level 93 to 95, and there are only about 30 of them. However, there is a level 95 lord among them, the "Ancient Skeleton Dragon General".

Health: 4.5 million.

Li Wu stood at the entrance of the altar, looking at the enormous skeleton dragon general.

It was a size larger than the Fallen Dragonborn we had encountered before, its golden skeleton covered in ancient dragon runes, radiating an oppressive energy aura.

"Four and a half million HP, level ninety-five." Li Wu calculated, "A critical hit with the Blazing Sun Piercing Arrow on a weak point will do about 100,000 to 120,000 damage. It will take forty to forty-five shots. At one shot every three seconds, it will take a little over two minutes."

But that's an ideal situation. In actual combat, he can't stand still and fire for two minutes.

"Clear the smaller monsters first."

Li Wu's strategy was clear: first, use the Burning Star Return to Void Arrow to clear out the thirty elite monsters around him, and then fight the lord one-on-one.

He drew back the bow, gathering his strength.

The first "Burning Star Returns to Nothingness" arrow landed among the elite monsters.

explosion.

Fifteen elite monsters were wiped out instantly.

The remaining fifteen, along with the lord, were alerted. The lord let out a deafening roar, and golden dragon runes flashed wildly across its body.

Li Wu ignored the lord and dealt with the smaller monsters first.

Three chain lightning arrows were fired in quick succession, and with the splitting effect of the multi-arrow field, all fifteen elite monsters fell within ten seconds.

Now, only the lord remains.

The Ancient Skeleton Dragon General charged towards Li Wu. It was much faster than the Fallen Shadow Dragonborn, closing the distance by fifty meters in almost an instant.

Li Wu used the Flash Arrow to move sideways, simultaneously firing the first Blazing Sun Piercing Arrow.

A pure white beam of light struck the lord's eye sockets.

-118763.

Weakness critical strike.

The lord roared in pain, but did not stop. It opened its mouth, and a golden dragon breath gushed out.

Li Wu flashed again, dodging the dragon's breath.

The second blazing sun-piercing arrow.

-121456.

The third shot.

-115892.

A peculiar rhythm developed between Li Wu and the lord. The lord attacked, he dodged; he shot arrows, the lord was hit. Both were moving very fast, but Li Wu always maintained a safe distance.

The lord's health is steadily decreasing.

Eighty percent.

Sixty percent.

Forty percent.

When its health drops to 40%, the lord enters a berserk state. Its speed increases dramatically, and its attack frequency doubles.

Li Wu's pressure to dodge suddenly increased.

But he didn't panic.

He began using the stone pillars around the altar as cover, weaving between them to fire. The lord's large size prevented him from moving nimbly between the pillars, giving Li Wu ample space to deal damage.

Twenty percent.

ten percent.

The final blazing sun piercing arrow.

-124567.

The ancient skeleton dragon general collapsed with a thud.

[Defeat the Ancient Skeleton Dragon General (LV95 Lord) to gain 250000 experience points]

250,000 experience points.

With the experience gained from clearing mobs and the altar rewards, Li Wu's level bar jumped directly to 90% of level 85.

"Almost there."

He picked up the lord's dropped items, didn't examine them closely, and stuffed them directly into his backpack.

The sixth altar is located at the deepest part of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons.

It took Li Wu half an hour to get there.

The environment here is completely different from before. The space is much smaller, and the air is filled with dense dragon soul energy.

The dragon patterns on the ground were flashing continuously, and you could feel the energy pulse under your feet with every step you took.

The sixth altar was larger than the previous five.

What floats above the stone platform is not a crystal ball, but a huge golden dragon egg.

And the monsters surrounding the stone platform...

Li Wu gasped.

Not a dragon descendant.

It is a dragon.

Three complete skeletal dragons.

Ancient Skeleton Dragon (LV96 Lord)

[HP: 500 million]

Three.

Total health: 15 million.

Li Wu stood at the entrance, staring at the three skeletal dragons for a full ten seconds.

"Three level 96 lords." He calculated in his mind, "One takes two minutes, three would take six minutes. But if all three attack at the same time..."

When three lords attack simultaneously, his room for maneuver is greatly reduced. One wrong move and he'll be instantly killed.

But the experience points are too tempting.

With three level 96 lords and the altar rewards, he should be able to level up to at least level 85.

Li Wu took a deep breath.

"Done."

He drew back the bow and began to gather strength for the Burning Star Return to Nothingness Arrow.

This time, his goal wasn't to kill instantly, but to inflict damage first.

The Burning Star Return to Ruins Arrow cannot instantly kill lord-level monsters, but it can reduce their health by a large margin and create chaos.

The charge was completed in twelve seconds.

The dark red singularity flew towards the center of the three skeletal dragons.

The field unfolds.

The three skeletal dragons were simultaneously enveloped in a dark red, semi-transparent sphere.

Collapse.

explosion.

The three skeletal dragons each lost approximately 15% of their health.

They simultaneously unleashed a deafening roar, their six eerie blue eyes locking onto Li Wu.

The battle has officially begun.
