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

In the sea of ​​consciousness, countless shimmering cryptic symbols, like a dazzling galaxy, flowed slowly around Li Wu's mind.

He began to review the cipher combinations he had already mastered.

The 【Burning Arrow】 is composed of "Blazing" and "Increase".

"炽" represents the essence of flame, which is the "raw material" of energy.

"Increase" represents strengthening and amplification; it is the "engine" of energy.

The combination of these two secret texts aims to directly and forcefully enhance the energy of the flames before releasing it.

The [Explosive Burning Arrow] adds a "domain" to this.

"Domain" represents scope and area, and is the "stage" for energy.

Its addition gave the originally straightforward flame energy a space to be released and spread, thus creating a large-scale explosion effect.

But now, what he needs is a power that is completely opposite to "domain".

It doesn't need to spread, it doesn't need to be confined.

What he needs is extreme compression and extreme condensation.

It concentrates all the energy into the smallest point and then bursts out, forming unparalleled penetrating power.

Compression...condensation...

Li Wu's consciousness darted through countless cryptic symbols, searching for the key cryptic text that could represent this power.

In his mind, the character "磐" (pán), representing "firmness," and the character "缚" (fù), representing "binding," flashed through his mind, but he felt that neither of them was quite right.

"Pan" is more of a static, passive solidity than an active, centripetal force.

"Binding" is more about restricting external targets than restraining one's own energy.

What exactly is it?

Li Wu's brows furrowed tightly.

He could sense that he was only one step away from the correct answer, but there seemed to be an invisible membrane between them that he couldn't break through no matter what he did.

Suddenly, a secret text that he had previously overlooked caught his attention.

【凝】

It should mean a centripetal, cohesive force!

Thinking of this, the [凝] secret text suddenly emitted a faint light.

Become!

that's it!

Li Wu's heart skipped a beat.

He felt that he had finally found the most crucial piece of the puzzle.

Just as he comprehended the [Condensation] secret text, before he could take any further action...

A soft, ancient light suddenly flickered inside the backpack.

The light was not dazzling, but it had a peculiar penetrating power, as if it could shine directly into the depths of a person's soul.

Li Wu paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the backpack.

The Lost Page of Erlin, which he had opened from the Lucky Chest of First Pass but hadn't had time to examine yet, was now quietly floating in the empty space of his backpack, emitting a faint halo.

On the surface of the book, the ancient characters that were originally blurry and looked like scribbles suddenly seemed to come alive. They began to flow and combine slowly, eventually forming a crystal-clear cryptic text that he had just comprehended.

【凝】

Immediately afterwards, the light on the pages became even brighter.

As if summoned by some force, it slowly floated out of Li Wu's backpack and hovered in front of him.

"This is……"

Li Wu stared in stunned silence at the ancient page in front of him, which was radiating a soft light.

Hua Zitong, who was protecting him from the spell, was also startled by this sudden turn of events.

She walked over quickly, and when she saw the page of the book floating in mid-air, she was filled with doubt, wondering what had happened.

Just as Hua Zitong was wondering, the page of the book that was floating in front of Li Wu changed again.

The light on the pages suddenly intensified.

Immediately afterwards, a massive torrent of information, brimming with wisdom and a sense of heritage, surged into Li Wu's mind like a river bursting its banks!

Li Wu felt a buzzing in his head, as if he had been forcibly stuffed into a huge library.

Countless pieces of knowledge about arcane arts, ciphers, and arrows flashed, collided, and combined wildly in his mind.

It wasn't a rigid indoctrination, but rather a kind of... patient and persuasive teaching.

An aged yet gentle voice, seemingly transcending eternity, resounded directly from the depths of his soul.

"Latercomers, when you can see this message, it proves that you have mastered the four basic secret texts: [Blazing], [Increase], [Domain], and [Condensation]."

"These four secret texts represent the 'essence,' 'growth,' 'scope,' and 'cohesion' of energy."

"Their combinations are ever-changing and are one of the traditions of the Arcane Archer."

"Now, I will show you the power that comes closest to 'destruction' when these four secret texts are combined."

As the voice faded, an incredibly clear and detailed combination of secret texts, along with a diagram of energy circulation, began to slowly unfold in Li Wu's mind.

[Blazing] + [Increase] + [Domain] + [Condensate]!

These four secret texts were arranged together in a mysterious and perfect order that Li Wu had never imagined before.

"Blazing" serves as the source of energy, providing the most basic material for flames.

The "domain" serves as a stage for energy, defining a closed space for evolution.

"Increase" acts as an energy engine, causing the flames within the domain to multiply exponentially.

"Condensation," as the final forging hammer, exerts the most powerful centripetal force on the edge of the domain's impending loss of control, infinitely compressing all the multiplied energy toward the center of the domain!

When the power of the laws of these four secret texts intertwined perfectly, a name full of contradiction and destruction arose spontaneously in Li Wu's heart.

【Burning Star Returns to Ruins Arrow】!

"boom--!"

Li Wu felt his entire spiritual sea tremble.

He got it!

He understood completely!

So this is the most advanced and powerful way to use these four secret texts!

Create a closed domain, within which energy proliferates wildly. At the same time, use even greater power to compress this proliferating energy until the domain itself can no longer withstand the pressure brought about by this contradiction.

Ultimately, this triggered an irreversible, centripetal collapse!

That wasn't an explosion, that was... the Ruins of Guixu!

It is the ultimate destruction that devours and annihilates everything within the domain, including matter, energy, and even space itself!

Li Wu was utterly shocked by the terrifying effect of this skill.

He couldn't even imagine the devastating scene that would result from firing that arrow.

"Too...too strong..." he murmured to himself, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"What's wrong? What did you see?" Hua Zitong asked nervously when she saw his expression change.

Li Wu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, and briefly explained the skill effects described by the old voice to Hua Zitong.

Hua Zitong was stunned after hearing this.

She stood there blankly, speechless for a long time.

Create a space, multiply energy within it, then compress it, eventually causing it to collapse...

This...this sounds so much like the "divine arts" that only gods can master in legends?

Can a level 15 player learn skills of this level?

Is this reasonable?

"Weren't we... supposed to be fighting that boss that can't use area-of-effect attacks?" Hua Zitong's lips twitched involuntarily. "And now, you've learned an ultimate AOE skill that sounds like a map-wide attack?"

What is this?

Trying to sharpen your spear at the last minute, only to end up with a crooked weapon?

Li Wu also had a look of bewilderment, neither laughing nor crying.

He never expected that this page would teach him such a powerful weapon.

Although this skill is ridiculously powerful, it is the perfect "healing god skill" for the stone golem BOSS they are about to face.

Shoot an arrow, and it'll probably bring the BOSS's health back from 1% to 100%.

Just when Li Wu thought that this inheritance was going to end in such a ridiculous way,

That aged voice rang in his mind once again.
