Become the strongest in the world of gods through game experience

After Yumia left, the Elf Bow and the [Stone Shattering Strike] skill emblem she brought with her were left here, clearly as a gift to Zhang Xiaoyuan.

After all, Zhang Xiaoyuan has already signed the contract. Now, the task is to figure out how to get Zhang Xiaoyuan to protect her sister more diligently.

There is no such thing as unconditional kindness in this world; there is only the exchange of interests when one needs to benefit oneself.

"Is that it?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan curiously examined the two items in her hands.

To be precise, there are three items.

Because right after he obtained the Elf Bow, he discovered two high-level material illustrations that could be activated: the Elf Bow and the Godslayer Arrow.

[Elven Bow: The weapon of the Elven War King, which, with the help of other kings, once slew a demigod beast.]

[The Arrow of Godslayer: After the combined power of the nine Elven Kings pierced the heart of a demigod beast, the arrow absorbed its essence and solidified from its ethereal form.]

Both were high-grade materials, but they didn't have any special effects, which still satisfied Zhang Xiaoyuan.

Zhang Xiaoyuan put it into his backpack, preparing to immediately absorb the [Stone Shattering Strike] skill emblem, but unexpectedly, the three items in his backpack suddenly underwent a strange change.

"what happened?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan was startled and quickly checked, discovering that the newly introduced Elf Bow and God-Slaying Arrow, along with the previously obtained Elf statue, resonated with each other.

A dazzling light suddenly appeared behind the backpack, so bright it hurt Zhang Xiaoyuan's eyes.

Soon after, the light faded, and Zhang Xiaoyuan could see the items in the backpack.

The elven bow and arrow and the elven statue that were originally in two different places were now placed together.

The elven statue originally had many wounds, but some of them have now healed.

Furthermore, the elven statue, which was originally seated, is now standing upright with its arms outstretched, one hand drawing a bow and the other nocking an arrow, looking up angrily.

It transformed into a stone sculpture of an elf shooting an arrow.

"These three things are together, could they have originally been one?" Zhang Xiaoyuan wondered.

During the recent appraisal, Zhang Xiaoyuan learned that this was the weapon of the War King, a general who once followed the first Elf King, Yuso An. Therefore, this stone sculpture might be related to the War King.

"Or rather, this elven stone sculpture... is the War King himself!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan considered this possibility.

Because when he first encountered this elven stone sculpture, it was in a remnant soul state, but it was still able to release an extremely powerful aura.

Furthermore, it exuded a powerful fighting spirit and killing intent, which was indeed very similar to the War Kings in the history of the Elven race.

However, the War King died in ancient times, countless years ago. How could he possibly have survived?

Zhang Xiaoyuan was very puzzled by this.

But this is the most likely possibility now.

After combining the three, Zhang Xiaoyuan discovered that their effects had changed.

In addition to being able to unlock the advanced material encyclopedia entry for "Elf Shooting Demon" once again, another method of use has emerged.

[Elf Shooting Demons: Activate the statue with natural forces to fire arrows; the strength of the arrows is determined by the natural force provided.]

According to Zhang Xiaoyuan's understanding, natural forces were the powers wielded by the elves.

However, once he uses the [Essence of the Tree of Life], he will be able to grasp a small amount of this power as well.

Although it doesn't possess the inherent power of the elves, it's sufficient for gathering natural energy to activate [Elf Shot].

"Hehe, what an unexpected bonus."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was overjoyed. She had really chosen the right gift from the elf princess, Yumia; she probably never expected it.

With a satisfied expression, Zhang Xiaoyuan put away the [Elf Shooting Demon] and used the [Stone Shattering Strike] skill emblem.

With a loud "crack," a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, heading straight for Zhang Xiaoyuan's crown.

"Holy crap, the War Bull Clan has invaded?!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan panicked. Could this be the father of the ox he had been competing with, here to steal his son's bride?

boom!

Zhang Xiaoyuan had no time to dodge, and the lightning struck him completely, turning his entire body black.

puff!

As she exhaled a puff of black smoke, Zhang Xiaoyuan felt as if she were about to split open.

But it's not over yet.

A tremendous force struck him from beneath his feet, piercing through his body in the middle, and a sharp, tingling sensation shot straight to his head, causing him to fall straight backward.

The immense force intertwined with the falling lightning, tearing at his body and turning it into a battlefield, causing Zhang Xiaoyuan to almost faint from the pain.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Xiaoyuan's hoarse voice finally subsided, and her consciousness cleared slightly.

He discovered within his body that the two forces had merged together, one black and one white, indistinguishable from one another.

"This is……"

A stream of information entered his brain, letting him know what the black and white mass was.

[Stone-Shattering Seed: Through continuous battles, it gathers powerful fighting spirit, creating earth-shattering combat power.]

The earth-shattering event, with its mournful cries of spirits, is somewhat similar; it also requires accumulating resources.

However, the Spirit's Lament accumulates consumables, while the Stone Breaking Strike grows stronger with each battle. Its fighting spirit does not dissipate but gathers inside the seed, transforming into nutrients to nourish the seed's growth and making the skill continuously stronger.

"The Elven royal family wants me to keep fighting so they can protect their princess."

Zhang Xiaoyuan let out a soft laugh, which was in line with his plan, because ever since he came to this world, he had been prepared to fight his way to the throne of gods.

For him, this kind of "game completion" is the most exciting and gives him the greatest sense of accomplishment!

Stepping out of the room, Zhang Xiaoyuan prepared to try out this new skill, only to find that the surrounding scenery suddenly began to change.

The ever-changing landscape of flowers and desert gave him a sense of disorientation, as if time and space were intertwined.

The sensation underfoot is constantly changing, telling him that this is a real change.

"what happened?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan whispered, and after a moment of confusion, the scenery before her finally stopped changing and turned into a red desert.

The sand underfoot was hot, and small flames occasionally appeared.

"Zhang Xiaoyuan!"

"Brother Yuan!"

……

When Zhang Xiaoyuan heard someone calling his name, he turned around and saw Ci Nianyun, Shi Tian, ​​and Hou Mu.

"Another illusion?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan shook her head, becoming wary and carefully sensing the surroundings.

"Zhang Xiaoyuan, how did the competition go? Did you win the championship?"

Ci Nianyun asked calmly, but a hint of nervousness flashed in her eyes.

Zhang Xiaoyuan used the data panel to observe Ci Nianyun and found that this time it was not a blank space in the Land of Despair, but Ci Nianyun's information. At this time, Ci Nianyun's level had reached level 19.

"Haven't seen you for a day and a half, your level has risen pretty fast," Zhang Xiaoyuan said casually, but she was actually testing the waters.

"Hmph, if you hadn't been stealing my experience points, I would have leveled up by now, okay?" Ci Nianyun pouted and snorted.

"Brother Yuan, your aura has gotten stronger again. You must be the champion, right? I wonder what the champion's reward is? Can I see it?"

Ishida walked over with a grin, his sly smile contrasting sharply with his honest, dark face.

"The reward... is me!"
