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

Bai Ren, carrying the giant horse-slaying sword, suddenly stomped his feet and transformed into a blur as he charged straight at Li Wu.

fast.

too fast.

This speed is significantly faster than any of the previous opponents' advances.

Li Wu's pupils contracted slightly.

He could sense that Bai Ren possessed a completely different aura from the others. The others were somewhat wary of him when they entered the arena; they would test him, scheme against him, and try to figure out how to restrain him.

No, not with a bare blade.

Bai Ren had only one thought from beginning to end: to kill you.

"Good timing."

Li Wu drew his bow, and an icy arrow shot forth. The arrow left an icy blue trail in the air, heading straight for Bai Ren's face.

He didn't dodge the blade.

He didn't even slow down, sweeping his saber across in front of him, a layer of blood-red light rising from the blade.

"broken!"

The blade collided head-on with the arrow, and the icy blue arrow shattered into fragments the instant it touched the blade, sending ice shards flying. The blade's speed was not affected in any way; in fact, it became even faster.

A gasp of surprise erupted from the audience.

"He took it! He took the Frost Arrow head-on!"

"Bai Ren's innate talent, Bloodlust, grants him increased attack power as his health decreases; he's practically immune to injury!"

Li Wu noticed it too.

The combat logic of the Blade Master is different from everyone else's. Other melee classes will try to restrict his movement, find cover, and think about how to dodge his arrows if they want to get close.

Bai Ren doesn't care about any of that.

He's like a straight line, from point A to point B, crushing everything in between.

This is a purely offensive warrior.

The distance between the two was reduced to thirty meters in a very short time.

Li Wu moved his feet, activating the Flash Arrow.

His figure vanished instantly, reappearing to the right rear of Bai Ren.

White Blade's reaction was also extremely fast.

He didn't even look back, but instead slashed horizontally behind him with his saber, the blade energy carrying a blood-red light, cutting out a semi-circular attack range.

Li Wu leaned back, the blade's energy grazing his nose.

Nearly.

too close.

three meters.

There were only three meters between Bai Ren and him.

This distance is a death trap for archers. Any archer who gets within three meters of a warrior can basically prepare to meet their end.

Bai Ren thought so too.

He smirked and swung his saber again.

But Li Wu did not create distance.

He did something that no one could understand: he took a step forward, facing the sharp edge of the blade.

Bai Ren's eyes suddenly widened.

He hadn't expected Li Wu to choose to close in. The horse-slaying saber was a wide-range weapon, with an optimal attack distance of two to four meters. Li Wu's step forward actually put him in the saber's blind spot.

The blade grazed past Li Wu's shoulder, missing its target.

As Li Wu took that step, he had already pressed the bow against the belly of Bai Ren.

Zero distance.

A light, a blend of ice and fire, shone on the bowstring.

Ice and Fire Spiral Arrow.

Bai Ren's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints. His body instinctively activated the defensive skill "Iron Wall," a thick layer of gray light covering his entire body.

"Bang!"

The arrow pierced directly into Bai Ren's abdomen.

-376!

The surface damage numbers weren't high; Bai Ren's iron wall blocked most of it, but Bai Ren's expression changed the next second.

He sensed it.

That kind of power that bursts out from inside the body.

Two completely opposite energies, ice and fire, collided, rubbed, and tore wildly within his body.

-1044 (Critical Hit!)

The damage from the internal explosion completely ignored his outer defenses, blasting outwards and instantly reducing Bai Ren's health bar by a large amount.

"Ugh!" Bai Ren groaned and took two steps back.

But he did not fall.

His eyes actually shone even brighter.

The lower the health bar, the higher the attack power.

This is the core mechanism of his talent "Bloodbath".

"Good!" Bai Ren let out a low roar, and the blood-red light on the Zhanmadao (horse-slaying sword) increased more than three times, making the whole sword hum.

His movement speed has also increased.

This time, he was even faster than before.

The moment the blade flashed, Li Wu's sense of destiny pounded wildly.

Danger.

Extremely dangerous.

If this strike hits, you're out.

Without hesitation, Li Wu activated Flash Arrow again and disappeared.

But Bai Ren's reaction was also at its limit. The instant Li Wu disappeared, he judged the direction, spun around, and drew a perfect arc with his saber.

The blade energy spread out, covering an area within a five-meter radius.

Li Wu appeared six meters behind Bai Ren, the edge of the blade's energy grazing his arm.

-456!

he got hurt.

Gasps of astonishment came from the audience.

"He was wounded by the blade!"

"Since the start of the competition, this is the first person who has managed to injure someone who's completely oblivious!"

"The Blade Master's Bloodlust talent is terrifying; the lower his health, the more damage he inflicts. It's a natural counter to kiting tactics!"

Li Wu glanced down at the wound on his arm and quickly made a mental calculation.

Inside the arena, his total health was reduced to a standard 1,500. Although the attack was only a graze, it still took away a third of his health.

Bai Ren's current health is around 30%, and his attack power has at least doubled. If his health drops below 10%, his attack damage could easily exceed 1000.

At that point, even a slight brush against him could be fatal.

The more you hit, the more it hurts; the more crippled you are, the more ferocious you become.

This talent is a nightmare for all ranged classes.

Bai Ren understood this as well. He licked his lips, slung his broadsword over his shoulder, and looked at Li Wu.

"How many times can you dodge this?"

Li Wu did not answer.

He drew back the bow, and the bowstring began to gather strength.

It's not an ice arrow, nor is it an ice and fire spiral arrow.

It is the blazing sun piercing through the arrow.

Bai Ren's eyes changed. He had watched all of Li Wu's match videos before the game and knew what this move meant.

Conceptual penetration, ignoring all defenses.

But he wasn't afraid.

"You need time to build up your power," Bai Ren said in a low voice, "but you don't have that time in front of me."

He rushed forward.

His speed was even faster than before. In the adjusted field where attributes were leveled out, White Blade's talent boosted his attack speed and movement speed to an unbelievable number.

ten meters.

five meters.

three meters.

The sword was raised high, and a blood-red light condensed at its top into a huge sword-shaped energy body, almost three meters long.

This slash was so powerful that even if Li Wu used Flash, he couldn't dodge it. The range of the blade's energy was large enough to cover all possible points where he could Flash would land.

The blade has been calculated.

He kept calculating.

He wasn't some reckless fool. He knew Li Wu's teleportation range, the fraction of a second of vulnerability after teleporting, and the area his blade aura could cover.

From the moment he launched his charge, this strike had already sealed off Li Wu's escape route.

"die!"

The blade slashed down.

A three-meter-long, blood-red blade of energy, carrying the power to destroy everything, crashed down on Li Wu's head.

In that instant, Li Wu made a move.

He didn't use Flash.

He aimed his bow at the sky.

Then release the bowstring.

Flash Arrow.

Direction: Directly above.

Li Wu's figure disappeared, leaving behind an afterimage.

The blade's aura cleaved through the air, splitting a two-meter-deep crack in the stone platform beneath their feet.

Li Wu's figure appeared directly above the white blade.

Twenty meters in the air.

He launched himself into the air using Blink Arrow.

Gravity caused him to fall.

During his descent, he had already completed the charging of the Blazing Sun Piercing Arrow.

On the bowstring, a thin, blindingly bright, pure white light shone directly at the top of the head of the white blade.

The white blade rises.

He saw the light.

"No!"

Pure white light fell.

No sound.

-2888 (Critical Hit!)

Bai Ren froze on the spot, a huge critical hit damage number appearing above his head. His health was instantly reduced to zero.

His body turned into white light and vanished.

In the arena.

A deathly silence.

Then, a system announcement popped up.

[Supreme Arena Final Result: Fog Sees Through Flowers (Area 21) wins!]

Congratulations to player "Seeing Through the Fog" for winning the Supreme Arena Championship!

The announcement was displayed three times in a row.

Each time, it resounded throughout all thirty-six servers.

Li Wu landed where the white blade had disappeared, still holding the bow.

He stood on the cracked stone platform, surrounded by starry skies and with rubble beneath his feet.

Number one in the entire server.

He got it.
