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

The moment this announcement was released, the entire No. 101 beginner village erupted in chaos!

"Holy crap! This is explosive! Dragon Travels the World is going to publicly challenge those two gaming legends to a duel?"

"Sunset Plains? Isn't that just an empty field? This looks like a full-scale team battle!"

"Has Dragon Roamed the World gone mad? He's been killed so many times, hasn't he learned his lesson?"

"That's hard to say. I heard that Dragon's Journey has gathered over fifty elites this time, all veterans, and their equipment is top-notch!"

"This is going to be a big show! Quick, quick, let's get to Sunset Plains and find a good spot!"

In an instant, the players in the entire newbie village were in an uproar. Countless onlookers poured out of the village and headed towards Sunset Plains, ready to witness this battle of the century.

Meanwhile, Long Xing Ba Dao led his fifty elite soldiers and marched aggressively into the battlefield.

He stood at the very front of the line, his face contorted with a fierce determination.

He could almost see those two people being crushed to pieces under the iron hooves of his guild's elite troops.

Seeking flowers through the mist, searching for the mist among the flowers...

Your days are numbered!

……

Meanwhile, deep within the mangrove forest, in a secluded clearing...

Li Wu and Hua Zitong were sitting on the ground, taking stock of their spoils from the past two days.

The ground was piled with all kinds of equipment, almost covering the entire surface.

"There are thirty-seven pieces of common-grade equipment in total, with the most being warriors, with twelve pieces. There are eight pieces for mages, and the two of us can use a few of them," Hua Zitong said as she sorted through the items, her tone revealing an undisguised joy.

The hunting operation over the past two days has been incredibly fruitful.

The members of the Dragon Soars Across the World guild are practically walking ATMs, constantly providing them with equipment.

Li Wu's equipment had already been upgraded from basic weapons to advanced technology.

Basically, all parts are fully equipped.

Strength: 24 (Equipment +7)

Agility: 25 (equipment +14)

[Constitution: 22 (Equipment +9)]

Intelligence: 66.8 (equipment +5)

[Spirit: 17 (Equipment +5)]

Luck: 6.75 (Equipment +1)

Free attribute points: 10

Having reached level 9, all his attributes have increased. In addition, he has hunted dozens or even hundreds of players in the past two days. The attribute points absorbed by his talent [Soul Devourer] have brought his intelligence attribute to 66 points!

The magic attack attribute even exceeds one hundred points!

This means that the power of his [Explosive Burning Arrow] has reached a whole new level.

"It's a pity that killing doesn't increase experience, otherwise I would already be level 10!" Li Wu said with a bit of regret.

"If killing people can increase experience, then this Origin Realm will be in chaos!" Hua Zitong rolled her eyes at him. "Besides, we've killed so many people for no reason, and now we're already red-named. We can't even go back to the newbie village and can only stay in the wild."

This was something neither of them had expected. If they went back now, they would definitely be caught and imprisoned by the militia of the beginner village.

Hua Zitong also reached level 9. As a warrior, she allocated the attribute points she gained from leveling up evenly to strength and constitution, resulting in a significant improvement in both offense and defense.

In addition, she has changed into a set of ordinary-grade equipment with high strength and high physique, and now she looks exactly like a Valkyrie.

Just as the two were counting their spoils, a loud announcement echoed throughout the entire No. 101 beginner village.

Li Wu and Hua Zitong paused simultaneously.

[Regional Announcement from District 21: I, Longxing_Badao, on behalf of the Longxing Tianxia guild, hereby formally declare a life-or-death battle against players 'Wuli Kanhua' and 'Huajian Xunwu'! Time: One hour from now! Location: Sunset Plains! If you're a man, don't be a coward, I'm waiting for you!]

After hearing the announcement, the two looked at each other.

Hua Zitong was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"He...he hasn't given up yet?" She laughed so hard she almost cried. "What's going on in his head? We've been killing him for two whole days, and he still has the nerve to launch a final battle?"

Li Wu's expression didn't change much; he just felt a little strange.

"Why is this person so persistent?" he asked, somewhat puzzled. "Knowing he can't win, why does he keep coming back to challenge me?"

In his view, Longxing and Badao's behavior has exceeded the scope of normal human logic.

"You don't understand," Hua Zitong stopped laughing and explained, "For a branch leader of a large guild like him, what he values ​​most is not money or equipment, but face."

"What we've done these past two days has been like repeatedly rubbing his and his guild's faces into the ground. If he backs down like this, how will he lead a team in the future? How will he establish himself in District 21?"

"So he's willing to risk everything to fight this last battle. If he wins, he can salvage his reputation and even climb to the top by stepping on our fame. If he loses... well, it's pretty much the same as losing anyway, so he might as well give it a shot."

After listening, Li Wu nodded thoughtfully.

"I see, it's all about saving face." He roughly understood.

"Shall we...go?" Hua Zitong looked at him, asking knowingly.

"Go." Li Wu's answer was simple and straightforward. "Perfect, it'll solve all the troubles at once."

He was annoyed too.

Although we've made great progress these past two days, it's been like playing whack-a-mole, hitting here and there haphazardly, which isn't a long-term solution.

Since the other party has taken the initiative to set up the stage and wants to settle things once and for all, he will play along to the end.

"Alright!" Hua Zitong clapped her hands and stood up with great enthusiasm. "Then let's go meet them! Let them know what true despair is!"

"Wait a minute, there's one more thing I need to do before I go."

As Li Wu spoke, he took out the Rapid Fire Bow that had just fallen, as well as the axe that Dragon Walk and Mad Blade had used... a total of five ordinary-grade weapons.

He then took out his arcane bow.

That's right!

Now that you've collected all 5 common-grade weapons, it's time to upgrade your Arcane Bow!

……

Just as the two were preparing for their appointment, the public channel of Newbie Village No. 101 had completely exploded!

"Holy crap! Will the pros accept the challenge?"

"Let's take a gamble! I'll open a betting pool and see how long the experts can hold out!"

"Are you crazy, upstairs? You should bet on how long Dragon's Journey can last!"

"Haha, that makes sense! I bet five minutes! No more than that!"

"I heard that Long Xing Ba Dao has gone all out this time, gathering the last fifty-odd elites and even offering five hundred silver coins as a prize. I guess he's ready to fight to the death."

"So what if there are fifty-odd elites? Do you know how those twenty-five people died the night before last? I saw it with my own eyes from the top of the cliff. That arcane archer called 'Seeing Flowers in the Mist' killed them with just two arrows! Two arrows!"

"Really? That's so exaggerated?"

"How could there be area-of-effect skills at this stage! It must be an item!"

"Yes! It must be a prop!"

"Believe it or not! In this fight, I'm on the side of the expert!"

All the players in the starting village, whether they were fighting monsters or doing quests, stopped what they were doing and were excitedly discussing the upcoming battle.

The vast majority of people are optimistic about Li Wu and Hua Zitong.

After all, the legend of the two of them "hunting down a guild in two days" was deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Of course, a few people believe that Long Xing Tian Xia has gathered a large force this time, and since it is a head-on battle in an open area, they may still have a fighting chance.

In an instant, the entire No. 101 beginner village was in turmoil.

Countless players converged on Sunset Plains from all directions.

They were going to witness firsthand this epic showdown that would be recorded in the history of Beginner Village No. 101.
