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

The atmosphere in Ironforge was still as lively as ever, with many more players than when he last left.

The recruitment announcements from various guilds are deafening.

Listening to their shouts, Li Wu couldn't help but wonder if he should get a GG too.

However, he immediately rejected the idea, thinking that if they were to establish a guild first after a while, it would be more effective than any other guild!

He didn't linger on the main road, but walked straight through the crowded streets toward the forging area.

He easily found Horn's blacksmith shop.

The clanging sound of blacksmithing came from the shop, a steady and powerful rhythm.

Li Wu pushed open the door and was immediately hit by a wave of heat mixed with sweat and the smell of metal.

Old blacksmith Horn was shirtless, wielding a hammer and striking the iron ingot on the anvil.

Sparks flew, illuminating his focused face.

He was completely absorbed in his own world and didn't even notice Li Wu coming in.

Li Wu didn't disturb him, but simply stood quietly to the side, watching the old blacksmith work.

He could feel that each of Horn's punches had a unique rhythm and power.

Until Horn forged the iron ingot into shape and threw it into the quenching pool next to him.

With a hiss, a large cloud of white steam rose up, and he finally stopped.

He picked up the towel hanging around his neck and wiped his sweat before looking at Li Wu.

"You're back."

Horn's voice was still hoarse, and no emotion could be discerned from it.

"Mm." Li Wu nodded.

"Have you collected all the materials?" Horn asked casually, his tone clearly skeptical.

In his view, Li Wu had only been gone for two or three days.

It's practically impossible to gather all the materials in such a short time, especially the [Ancient Treant Heart], which can only be obtained by defeating a level 30 world boss.

He asked that question more as a polite opening.

However, Li Wu's answer surprised him somewhat.

"Yes, everything is ready."

Li Wu spoke casually, as if the matter was insignificant.

Horn paused in wiping his sweat, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Is everything complete?" He repeated, his tone becoming more serious. "Young man, bragging isn't a good habit. None of those items are easy to find."

Li Wu did not argue with him.

Actions speak louder than words.

He walked to the workbench in the center of the blacksmith's shop and opened his backpack.

Splash...

He poured a large pile of blue-glowing ore onto the worktable.

Each of these minerals shimmers with starlight, making them look beautiful and mysterious.

It was Star Iron.

A total of six hundred pieces of Star Iron were piled up in a large heap on the workbench.

Horn's pupils contracted sharply.

He put down the towel, strode to the workbench, picked up a piece of star iron, and examined it carefully.

"Good quality, all top-grade ore," he muttered to himself, then looked up at Li Wu, his eyes filled with shock. "So much? You emptied out the mines of Black Wind Valley?"

To forge a Starchaser Longbow, you only need one hundred pieces of Star Iron.

Li Wu, on the other hand, directly provided six times the amount!

"More or less," Li Wu replied casually.

For him, this amount of material was just an appetizer.

Horn gave him a deep look, his gaze becoming serious.

He realized that the young man in front of him seemed to be much more mysterious than he had imagined.

"Even if you're lucky enough to find a rich vein, what about the other things?" Horn pressed. "What about magic crystals? You can't just get those by mining."

Li Wu didn't say anything, but simply reached into his backpack again.

The next second, he took out sixty crystals that were crystal clear and radiating magical energy, and neatly arranged them next to the pile of star iron.

Each magic crystal was dazzling, sparkling in the dim light of the blacksmith's shop.

Horn's breathing became rapid.

His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared intently at the magic crystals.

Sixty... This... How is this possible?

He cried out, his voice trembling.

Magic crystals are crystallized energy from the death of elemental creatures, and their drop rate is extremely low.

Generally speaking, if you kill a few elemental creatures and get one drop, you're considered extremely lucky.

Collecting sixty of them in just two or three days is beyond what can be explained by luck.

This is simply a miracle!

Horn felt that his worldview had been shaken.

He had lived most of his life and had never seen anything so outrageous.

However, the shock Li Wu brought him was only just beginning.

Before Horn could recover from the shock of the sixty magic crystals, Li Wu made another move.

He reached into his bag again and took out eighteen feathers that emitted a blue light.

"Wind Feather..."

Horn picked up a feather and felt the wind elemental power within it; his hands began to tremble.

The fierce wind spirit at the top of Blackwind Valley is constantly shrouded in tornadoes and is extremely difficult to deal with.

Let alone killing them, even getting close to them is extremely difficult.

The young man in front of us not only successfully killed them, but also took out eighteen Wind Feathers in one go!

What kind of monster is this kid?

Horn's eyes were filled with horror as he looked at Li Wu.

He felt that his forging experience and life experience were worthless in front of Li Wu.

He couldn't understand how any of this had happened.

"How...how did you do that?" Horn's voice was hoarse.

"I was lucky."

Li Wu remained calm and collected, and the answer she gave almost made Horn vomit blood.

Good luck?

Is this something that can be explained by good luck?

If you're lucky, then wouldn't all adventurers in the world be unlucky?

Horn really wanted to pry open Li Wu's head to see what was inside.

But he knew that since the other party didn't want to talk, no matter how much he asked, he wouldn't get any results.

He could only suppress his shock and turn his gaze to Li Wu's backpack.

He knew that there was one last, and most crucial, piece of material that hadn't been produced.

Ancient tree, man, tree heart.

That's a drop from a level 30 elite world boss.

Horn thought to himself that although the materials mentioned above were outrageous, theoretically, as long as he was willing to spend the time, there was still a way to gather them together.

But this tree heart is different. There is only one Ancient Treant wild boss, and its respawn time is extremely long.

Even if this kid is incredibly powerful, it's impossible for him to kill several ancient tree spirits in such a short period of time, right?

The fact that he could produce even one is enough to prove his ability.

Horn thought to himself, trying to find a reasonable explanation for Li Wu's behavior.

However, the psychological defenses he had just built up were shattered once again by Li Wu.

Li Wu finally produced the last piece of material.

He didn't just take out one, as Horn had expected.

But...

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six!

Li Wu placed all six still-beating green hearts one by one on the worktable.

When the sixth tree heart fell, the entire blacksmith shop was filled with the breath of life.

Horn's eyes widened to their limit.

He opened his mouth wide, his jaw almost dislocated, and he made a hoarse sound in his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word.

He froze on the spot, his mind blank.

crazy!

This world must be insane!

Six!

A total of six hearts from level 30 elite world bosses!

Is this kid treating the ancient tree people like domesticated livestock, killing two a day?!

Horn felt like he was about to have a heart attack.

Having lived for so many years, he has forged countless powerful weapons and encountered countless genius adventurers.

But this was the first time he had ever met someone like Li Wu, who did things completely unpredictably and kept pushing the boundaries of his understanding.

This is no longer a genius, this is a monster, this is a monster!

Li Wu found Huo En's expression somewhat amusing.

This is exactly the effect he wanted.

"Master Horn."

Li Wu broke the silence in the blacksmith shop, "Now, the materials should be... all ready, right?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it sent a jolt through Horn's heart.

Horn jolted awake from his petrified state.

He glanced at the pile of rare materials on the workbench, then at the indifferent-looking young man in front of him, and finally let out a long sigh.

He knew he had completely misjudged the situation.

This young man is no ordinary person.

His future achievements will likely exceed his own imagination.

"It's complete...it's so complete..."

Horn shook his head with a wry smile. "Kid, you're the most outrageous adventurer I've ever seen, bar none."

This assessment is the truth.

For a legendary blacksmith to utter such words is an honor in itself.

"So, regarding the forging of the Starchaser Longbow..." Li Wu took the opportunity to bring up the important matter.

"no problem!"

Horn's attitude completely changed. He patted his chest and said, "Don't even mention one, you have enough materials to forge six! You plan to...?"

He looked at Li Wu tentatively.

He simply couldn't understand why Li Wu, an archer, needed so many longbows.

Are you planning to sell it for money?

However, the Star Chaser Longbow is a bound piece of equipment and cannot be traded at all.

"That's right, I'm going to forge six of them, Master Horn, what do you think..."

"Fine, consider it my way of repaying you for bringing me news of my son. I'll make these six Starseeker Longbows for you!"

Horn thought for a moment and then finally responded.

"Then thank you very much, Master." Li Wu smiled slightly.

Become!
