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

The news of Li Wu's return spread throughout District 21 within an hour.

It wasn't something the Myth Guild actively promoted.

It was spread by people from the Blood Wolf Guild.

After Shadow Spider revived from the dead, it immediately informed the other members of the Blood Wolf Guild.

Then these members told their friends, and their friends told their friends' friends.

An hour later, the entire world channel in Area 21 was discussing the same thing.

"Have you heard? Three experts above level 100 came to kill Wuli Kanhua, but they were killed in three arrows."

"Is this for real? A level 125 character can be one-shotted?"

"It's true! People from the Blood Wolf Guild saw it with their own eyes!"

"Holy crap... just how strong is that 'Seeing Through the Fog' technique now?"

"Anyway, it's stronger than level 125."

"Wouldn't that make you the strongest in the entire server?"

"More or less."

The world channel exploded.

Not just District 21.

The news quickly spread to other districts.

Because those three people who were killed—Crimson Flame, Eye of the Void, and Shadowless—were not nobody.

These three people died simultaneously at the hands of a level 95 archer, killed instantly with three arrows.

The impact of this news is no less than that of a nuclear bomb.

Forums in various districts were instantly flooded with posts.

The post titled "Three Arrows Kill Three Level 100+ Players in a Flash" quickly rose to the top of the trending topics on the entire server forum within half an hour.

The comments section is completely different from before.

Some people had previously questioned the value of his championship.

there's no more.

"Even a level 125 Void Eye can't withstand a single arrow... what's there to question?"

"So, he was the kind of person who would take advantage of his older brother's absence to snag bargains? Why don't you come out and show your face?"

"I only want to know one thing right now: how much attack power does he actually have?"

"Someone has calculated that if an arrow can kill the Eye of the Void in one shot, the damage per hit would be at least 150,000."

"150,000??? He's only level 95!"

"That's why he's called a monster."

"What about the Eternal Spear? Didn't you say you'd 'fight it out when you have time'? Are you still going to fight it?"

"What a load of rubbish! Someone at level 95 can already one-shot level 125 enemies. Once they reach max level, won't they be able to one-shot everything?"

Public opinion has completely reversed.

The post by the "King of Data" who previously questioned Li Wu was flooded with comments.

"Is the keyboard ready?"

"You promised to eat your keyboard live if you didn't level up to 100 in a month, but now that person is at 95, aren't you worried?"

"The King of Data, come out and take your punishment!"

The King of Data did not reply.

His account status shows "offline".

I've been offline for three hours.

Meanwhile, the analysis team in District 8 was also discussing this matter.

Team leader Dao Shi looked at the information on the screen and remained silent for a long time.

"Team leader, what do you think?" someone asked.

Dao took off his glasses and rubbed his temples.

"I said something before," he said.

"What?"

"Once 'Seeing Flowers Through the Mist' reaches its maximum level, it may become invincible."

"Now it seems I was wrong."

"Where did we go wrong?"

"He doesn't need to level up to the maximum," Knife Size said. "He's already invincible."

The room fell silent.

Knife Size put his glasses back on and turned off the analysis software.

"Disband it," he said. "The countermeasures team is no longer necessary."

Why?

"Because there's no countermeasure." Dao Size stood up. "What countermeasure can you give me for dealing with someone who can instantly kill a level 125 person at level 95?"

No one answered.

Daoshi walked to the door and paused for a moment.

"If you want to survive in this game," he glanced back, "I suggest you cultivate a good relationship with Fog of the Blossoms."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and left.

That evening.

The conference room is located on the second floor of Qianjin Pavilion.

The celebration was over, and the guild members went their separate ways. Some went to level up, some went to run dungeons, and some just went to the world chat to brag.

Only Li Wu and Hua Zitong remained in the conference room.

Hua Zitong sat opposite Li Wu, holding a data report in her hand.

"I reviewed today's battle," she said.

"Speak," Li Wu said, leaning back in his chair.

"The moment your Star-Burning Arrow instantly killed Chi Yan," Hua Zitong turned a page of the report, "Chi Yan was a level 105 heavy armor warrior with approximately 80,000 to 90,000 health points. With the physical and magical damage reduction from the heavy armor, his effective health points should be over 120,000."

"How much collapse damage did the Burning Star Return to Ruins Arrow deal?" Li Wu asked.

"I don't have precise data, but judging from the results, it's at least over 150,000," Hua Zitong said. "Moreover, the collapse damage of the Burning Star Return to Ruins Arrow is true damage, ignoring armor."

"So he didn't even have time to react."

"Yes, the entire process from the expansion of the domain to its collapse takes four seconds. He lost most of his health in the first second, and it was wiped out completely when the domain collapsed."

Li Wu remained silent for a while.

"Hua Zitong," he said.

"Um?"

"Who in the entire server do you think can withstand one of my arrows right now?"

Hua Zitong thought for a moment.

"If it's a Blazing Sun Piercing Arrow..." she said, "theoretically, only players with more than 160,000 health points can survive."

Are there any people like this on the entire server?

"Yes," Hua Zitong said. "Max-level heavy armor warriors and knights, if their constitution is maximized, can have over 200,000 health points. But there won't be more than twenty of them."

"What about the Burning Star Return to Ruins Arrow?"

"The Burning Star Return to Ruins Arrow is an area-of-effect skill, and its collapse damage is even higher," Hua Zitong said. "If someone gets completely hit during the collapse phase... I don't think anyone can survive."

Li Wu nodded.

No one can survive.

This conclusion gave him a strange sense of calm.

It wasn't excitement, nor was it pride.

It was just calm.

"Alright." Li Wu stood up. "That's enough for today. I'll continue leveling up tomorrow."

"You still want to practice?" Hua Zitong was a little surprised. "You're already..."

"Level 100." Li Wu interrupted her. "I said I'd reach level 100 within a month, and there are still five days left."

Hua Zitong looked at him.

"Is it because of that bet?"

"No," Li Wu said, "it's for the Arcane Wasteland."

Hua Zitong's expression changed.

Arcane Wasteland.

That special area that only arcane archers can enter.

The mythical item "Bone of Erlin" that Li Wu obtained from the Champion's Chest can only be deciphered after reaching level 100 and traveling to the Arcane Wasteland.

"Do you think that thing is very important?" Hua Zitong asked.

"My talent resonated with it when it got close," Li Wu said. "My talent has never reacted this way to any object before."

Hua Zitong fell silent.

"Okay," Hua Zitong said. "Then you go ahead. I'll keep an eye on things at the guild."

Li Wu nodded and turned to walk towards the door.

"Li Wu." Hua Zitong called out to him from behind.

Li Wu stopped in his tracks.

Hua Zitong rarely called him by his real name.

"You did a great job today," she said.

Li Wu did not turn around.

"Just don't let anyone try to take advantage of you next time," he said.

Then he pushed open the door and left.

Hua Zitong stood in the conference room, looking at the closed door.

She knew what Li Wu's last words meant.

Although the target of today's assassination attempt was Li Wu, the Blood Wolf Guild had previously tried to take her hostage.

Li Wu remembered this incident.

He wasn't blaming her.

He was saying, "Whoever dares to touch you, I'll touch them."

Hua Zitong lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly.

Then she composed herself, sat back down at the table, and opened the guild management interface.

There is still a lot to do.
