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

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

Hua Zitong sat alone in front of the magic sandbox, holding a cup of tea that had gone cold.

The noise from the hall carried up through the floor, muffled and indistinct. She couldn't quite make out what they were shouting, but she could feel the frenzied excitement.

She didn't go down.

It wasn't that she didn't want to celebrate; it was that she had more important things to do than celebrate.

On the magic sandbox, she had already compiled all of Li Wu's combat data throughout the entire Supreme Arena. This included the opponent in each match, the number of times each skill was used, the direction and distance of each dodge, and the timing of each critical hit.

Hua Zitong tapped her fingers lightly on the edge of the sand table, her eyes fixed on the data, but her mind was elsewhere.

She was thinking about her past life.

In the Supreme Arena of my past life, the champion was Caesar from Zone 1. Caesar was also very strong back then, but not nearly as exaggerated as Li Wu.

Caesar won because of his experience and good equipment, but every match he played was tough, and the final was decided in the last second.

And what about Li Wu?

He didn't lose a single drop of blood from beginning to end.

No, in the finals, Bai Ren grazed him and took away more than 400 HP.

But that was already the best result among all the participants.

Throughout the entire match, the only damage Li Wu suffered was a little over four hundred points.

Hua Zitong understood better than anyone what this data meant.

"Just how strong are you...?" she whispered, seemingly asking no one in particular.

The communicator rang.

Hua Zitong opened it, revealing a sword pointing at a rose.

"Zitong, congratulations." The voice pointing at the rose was devoid of specific emotion, but Hua Zitong could sense a complex undercurrent within it.

"Thank you," Hua Zitong replied succinctly.

"May I say a few words?"

"explain."

"Your partner..." Sword Pointing at Rose paused, "Did he retain some luck stat in the correction field as well?"

Hua Zitong did not answer immediately.

She knew what Sword Pointing at Rose was thinking. The rule of the correction field is that level and attributes are scaled proportionally, but one attribute was not mentioned: luck.

Luck is a hidden attribute in Origin Realm, and most ordinary players have only single-digit luck values. The system may not have designed any rules to correct this attribute.

"I'm not sure." Hua Zitong was telling the truth, but not entirely.

"You're not sure?" Jian Zhiqiang clearly didn't believe her. "You're Hua Zitong, how could you be unsure?"

"Luck is a hidden attribute; I can't see its specific number."

"But you know his critical hit rate is 100%."

Hua Zitong remained silent for two seconds.

"Yes."

"One hundred percent critical hit rate. In the correction field. Everyone's base critical hit rate is 5%, his is one hundred percent." The voice pointing at Rose carried a deliberate calmness. "Zitong, do you know what this means?"

"This means his luck stat is so high that the system can't correct it."

"How high?"

"I don't know the exact number," Hua Zitong shook her head.

Sword Pointing at Rose sighed softly over there.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore. Anyway, no matter how much it is, forming an alliance with him was the best decision I've ever made."

"Um."

"Zi Tong".

"Um?"

"Please pass on a message to him for me."

"you say."

"Tell Sword and Rose that Sword Points at Rose, congratulations on getting first place in the entire server. From now on, in this game, Sword and Rose will be there whenever he needs us."

Hua Zitong raised her eyebrows slightly.

Always on call.

These four words, spoken by Sword Pointing at Rose, carry considerable weight. Sword and Rose is the second largest guild in District 21, with a membership of 1,500, and Sword Pointing at Rose herself is a prominent figure in the entire district.

For someone like Li Wu to say "available at any time" shows just how prestigious his server-wide championship is.

"Okay, I'll pass it on."

After hanging up, Hua Zitong received three more phone calls.

One of the calls was from Huayu and Xiaofeng, who also expressed their congratulations.

One call was from Chen Yan, the director of the Dragon Shield Bureau. His tone was much more serious than the previous two, and the core message was:

The emergence of a server-wide champion in District 21 would greatly enhance the strategic value of the entire district, and Dragon Shield hopes to establish a closer cooperative relationship with Myth Guild.

The last one was from an unfamiliar number, claiming to be a business representative from the Trade Federation, who wanted to discuss a cross-regional equipment procurement contract with the Myth Guild.

Hua Zitong transferred the third call to Lin Hai, then turned off the communicator and leaned back in her chair.

She closed her eyes, her mind racing.

Although the glory of being the server champion was dazzling, Hua Zitong wasn't thinking about the present honor, but rather the trouble that this glory might bring.

The tree catches the wind.

These four words kept flashing through her mind.

Li Wu's reputation is too great now.

In all 36 servers, everyone knows the name "Seeing Through the Fog." While this certainly brings the guild huge profits and deterrent power, it also makes him a target for everyone.

The gun is easy to hide, and the dark arrow is hard to prevent.

She wasn't worried about a direct confrontation; in a direct battle, she believed Li Wu could defeat anyone in the world.

What she was worried about were the things she couldn't see.

For example, intelligence leaks.

For example, targeted tactical research.

For example, real-world business competition.

For example, those forces that are still hiding in the shadows.

Hua Zitong opened her eyes, reopened the sand table, and began marking the distribution and power relationships of top guilds in each region.

The celebrations on the first floor continued.

She was working quietly alone on the second floor.

The door was pushed open.

Zhui Feng poked his head in and saw Hua Zitong sitting alone in front of the sand table. He paused for a moment.

"Vice President, why aren't you coming down? Everyone's waiting for you."

"What are you waiting for me for?"

Let's celebrate together!

Hua Zitong glanced at him: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would celebrate?"

Zhui Feng thought for a moment and honestly shook his head.

"But the guild leader will be back soon," said Zhui Feng. "There seems to be a delay in the system teleportation; it'll probably be a few more minutes."

Hua Zitong stood up and straightened her clothes.

"Then let's go down."

Following behind her, Zhui Feng couldn't help but ask, "Vice President, the President got first place in the entire server this time, aren't you at all surprised?"

Hua Zitong walked up the stairs without looking back.

"It's not that it wasn't surprising," she said softly, "I knew he would win before the match even started."

"Huh? How did you know?"

"Because I understand him."

Zhui Feng scratched his head, feeling that what he said was as good as nothing at all.

But Hua Zitong did not explain further.

She understands Li Wu not only because she, as the vice president, is familiar with the president's abilities.

More importantly, because she is a reborn person.

In her previous life, she was unable to witness the final outcome of the Origin Realm. But she had seen countless powerful beings.

No one is like Li Wu.

The number one player in the entire server in my past life wasn't just a blurry blur, and the champion of the Supreme Arena in my past life wasn't just an arcane archer. Everything in my past life was completely different from now.

From the moment Li Wu appeared, the trajectory of this world was already altered.

Hua Zitong walked down the stairs and saw that the entire hall was crowded with people.

All eyes were focused on the direction of the gate.

A flash of white light.

A figure appeared at the doorway.

Holding the Arcane Bow, his expression was so calm that it didn't seem like someone who had just won the server championship.

Li Wu is back.
