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

Hua Zitong did not object.

She knew better than anyone that a powerful new skill, especially a powerful healing skill, was far more valuable to their two-person team than several pieces of equipment.

The two quickly found a secluded corner on the edge of Ironforge. The area was deserted, perfect for Li Wu to calmly study the cryptic texts.

"I'll protect you." Hua Zitong stood to the side, holding her long sword, and vigilantly observed her surroundings.

Li Wu nodded, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

His consciousness instantly sank into that dazzling sea of ​​spirit composed of countless flashing symbols.

"treat……"

Li Wu's consciousness swiftly traversed the galaxy of secret symbols, searching for all the powers related to this concept.

Soon, the two most familiar secret texts, emitting a gentle light, floated in front of him.

【Heal】 represents the purest power of healing and restoration.

【荣】 represents the prosperity and vitality of life.

The combination of these two secret texts constituted his earliest healing skill, "Healing Arrow".

But these two secret texts alone are clearly not enough to unlock that legendary page.

"Mentor Erling said that the arrow message was related to 'healing'..."

Li Wu began to let her thoughts wander. Treatment was not simply about restoring life.

When a person is severely injured and their vitality is depleted, what is needed? Balance. To bring the unbalanced state of life back onto a normal track.

As he thought of the word "balance," a brand new cryptic text, radiating a sky-blue light, slowly emerged in his mind's sea.

【Heng】!

That's it! Li Wu was overjoyed.

But not enough.

Balance alone isn't enough. If one member of the team is at full health and another is at low health, what's the fastest way to heal them?

It doesn't create life force out of thin air to heal the person with low health, but rather "transfers" a portion of the excess life force from the person with full health to them.

"Transfer"...

Another brand new, silvery-glowing cryptic text lit up in his senses.

【change】!

[Heal], [Glory], [Balance], [Transformation]...

The four secret texts have been collected. But Li Wu still feels that something is missing.

These forces are merely "techniques," methods, and processes. But what is the most fundamental "law" that drives all of this?

It is rules, it is order.

Without a supreme rule to govern everything, the transfer and balance of life force could easily get out of control, or even have the opposite effect.

"Rules...order..."

Li Wu's consciousness was more focused than ever before.

Finally, in the deepest part of his spiritual sea, a secret text radiating a pale golden light, filled with majesty and a sense of order, slowly rose up.

【law】!

It represents laws and principles!

【Heal】, 【Glory】, 【Balance】, 【Transformation】, 【Law】!

He successfully comprehended all five core secret texts related to "healing"!

The moment he comprehended the secret text of the [Law], the [Lost Page of Erlin] in his backpack suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light.

It floated out of Li Wu's backpack and hovered in front of him.

Then the light on the pages suddenly intensified.

At the same time, a vast and ancient flow of information, like a river bursting its banks, instantly flooded into his mind!

The aged yet gentle voice of Mentor Erlin resonated once again deep within his soul.

"Later generations, when you can see this message, it proves that you have mastered the five basic secret texts: [Law], [Glory], [Healing], [Transformation], and [Balance]."

"Now, I will show you the power that comes closest to 'rebirth' when these five 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.

[Law] → [Glory] → [Heal] → [Transformation] → [Balance]!

Guided by the principles of "laws," enriched by the materials of "vitality," empowered by the power of "healing," guided by the path of "transfer," and yielding the result of "balance"!

Li Wu felt his entire mental world shaking.

This... what a perfect logical loop!

He could even imagine the effect of that arrow being shot out. It was definitely not a simple treatment, but rather a "law domain" that forcibly established a flow and balance of life force within an area!

He suppressed the shock in his heart and immediately began to try to integrate the five secret texts together according to the order and structure shown on the pages of the book.

However, when he actually started doing it, he found that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.

The complexity of the Five-Character Skill far exceeds that of any of the Three-Character Skills he created before.

Each cipher is like a precise gear; the connections, the order, and the power output of each gear must be exactly as precise as possible.

He carefully used his spiritual power to guide the secret text of the [Law], which served as the core of the entire structure.

Then, he tried to connect the secret text of [Glory] with it.

"Buzz—"

The moment the two secret texts came into contact, a violent energy conflict erupted!

Li Wu felt as if his head had been stabbed hard with a needle, and his mental sea was in excruciating pain. A large portion of his mana was instantly drained.

Failed!

Li Wu's face instantly turned pale.

Hua Zitong, who was protecting him, also noticed that something was wrong with him and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Li Wu shook his head, enduring the stinging pain in his mind. "The structure of this skill is too complex; my mental strength can't keep up."

Undeterred, he calmed himself and began trying again.

The second attempt failed!

The third time, a failure!

……

Five consecutive failures, each accompanied by intense mental anguish and a significant depletion of magical energy.

Li Wu's mana had dropped from full to less than one-tenth. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of cold sweat.

He finally realized that Erling was right.

"With your current understanding, you cannot interpret it."

It wasn't that he lacked comprehension, but rather that his "hardware" couldn't keep up. His mental strength and total magical power were simply insufficient to support him in completing such a complex combination of secret texts.

Just like an elementary school student who understands university-level calculus formulas, they would never be able to use them to solve problems.

"No...it's still too much to push myself..."

Li Wu opened his eyes, his eyes filled with resentment.

Are we just going to give up like this?

Do not!

Li Wu's eyes hardened again.

Even if you can't master the five strongest skills in one go, the series of failures just now were not without their gains.

Each failure gave him a deeper understanding of the three newly discovered secrets: [Balance], [Transformation], and [Law].

Since five coins won't do, let's go down one level!

Try the three-layered bread!

As soon as this thought arose, Li Wu immediately abandoned the ridiculously complex five-character structure and focused his attention on the three most basic healing secret characters: [Glory], [Healing], and [Balance].

This time, he encountered no obstacles.

Under his mental guidance, the three runes merged perfectly together, forming a brand new composite rune that radiated emerald green light.

[System notification: Congratulations! You have successfully created a brand new Arrow Language skill!]

Become!

Li Wu was overjoyed and immediately checked the effects of this new skill.
