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

While Li Wu and Hua Zitong were chatting, the recruitment by the [Myth] guild had completely ignited the entire 21st district!

The announcement, personally polished and released by Lin Hai, was meticulously worded and exuded sophistication, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of all elite players.

In an instant, all the elite players in District 21 sprang into action.

They went through all their battle recordings and selected the most exciting clips.

Some even went so far as to challenge even more difficult monsters in order to record a perfect video, only to die as a result!

This trend naturally also affected those already well-known super guilds.

【Sword and Rose】Guild Headquarters.

The guild leader pointed his sword at Rose, looking at the players on the forum who were on a roll with enthusiasm, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"This 'seeing flowers through the fog' thing is really clever," she murmured to herself.

"President, what should we do? Should we send someone to try?" the vice president next to him asked.

"Go? Why should we go?" Sword Pointing Rose picked up her teacup and gently blew on the steam. "We are allies, not subordinates. He's recruiting his members; we don't need to join in. It would only make us look like we're trying to curry favor."

"So we're just going to watch like this?" the vice president said, somewhat unwilling. "This is a great opportunity to observe all the experts."

"Of course, not just watching." Sword Pointing at Rose put down her teacup, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. "Pass on my order: all guild members are forbidden from participating in the Mythical Guild's recruitment in any form, but everyone must be present to observe tomorrow's assessment!"

"I want to see what kind of people he's looking to recruit, and also see just how deep the waters really are in Area 21."

……

【Iron Blood Alliance】Guild Headquarters.

The atmosphere was much more oppressive.

Iron Blood Banner, his face dark, looked at the intelligence presented by his subordinates without uttering a word.

"Guild leader, Fengyun Zaiqi has already sent some of their top PVP players to register. It seems they're planning to cause some trouble during the assessment," the vice-guild leader said cautiously.

"Hmph, I knew it all along that Fengyun Jiutian was a treacherous villain." Iron Blood Banner sneered.

"Then what about us...?"

"We'll send people too!" Ironblood Banner slammed his fist on the table. "Send Bloodhand, our guild's strongest PvP player, and Lone Wolf, whose PvE awareness is the best!"

"Tell them not to think about joining the mythology; they only have one mission!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Iron Blood Banner's eyes.

"In the assessment, you must utterly humiliate the Mythical Guild!"

"I'll show everyone just how utterly vulnerable the people he picked out through such a haphazard approach are in the face of our Iron Blood Alliance's elite!"

He couldn't swallow this insult.

He felt humiliated at the auction and overshadowed when he established his guild. He felt that he, the leader of one of the three major guilds in District 21, was becoming a laughing stock.

He has to get his revenge!

……

Qianjin Pavilion, third floor.

Hua Zitong, Lin Hai, and the three examiners, Steel Shield, were sitting around a round table.

A light screen floated in the center of the round table, playing a battle video.

In the video, a rogue player is fighting a boss three levels higher than him.

His movements were fluid and seamless, with each skill combo executed flawlessly. He used dagger parries and precise positioning to completely outmaneuver the BOSS.

"This is good. The operation is top-notch, and the awareness is also good." Steel Shield stroked his chin and gave his evaluation.

"Yes, he can be included in the list of one hundred people to be assessed." Arcane Light nodded as well.

Lin Hai was taking notes rapidly on the side.

This is how they spent those three days.

We received over 50,000 registration videos.

They worked tirelessly, sifting through the videos until they finally selected about five hundred that were truly valuable.

What they need to do now is to select 100 people from these 500 to participate in the final offline assessment.

"Next," Hua Zitong said calmly.

She seemed the most relaxed, only glancing at the video occasionally, and spending most of the time resting with her eyes closed.

But every time she spoke, it meant a video was immediately eliminated.

Lin Hai and Steel Shield didn't understand at first, wondering why some videos that were clearly very exciting were eliminated.

It wasn't until Hua Zitong pointed out the problems with several of the videos that the issue was resolved.

"This mage only used high-powered skills throughout the video in pursuit of visual effects, and his mana management was terrible. He would run out of mana after fighting a small monster, making him a burden to the team."

"This soldier looks brave, but he only charges blindly without considering the positions of his teammates. He is a typical example of someone who is brave but reckless."

"And this thief, his skills are excellent, but didn't you guys notice?"

"He abandoned simpler and more efficient ways to kill several times in order to show off his skills. This kind of person is too individualistic and can't integrate into the team."

After her explanation, Steel Shield and the others suddenly realized the truth, and their eyesight became much sharper when they watched those videos again.

They then realized that Hua Zitong's vision was far deeper and farther than theirs.

"Alright, that's all for today."

Hua Zitong finished watching the last video, stretched, and turned off the screen.

"Phew...finally finished reading." Lin Hai let out a long breath, feeling like his eyes were almost blind. "Sister Hua, shouldn't we discuss the final list of one hundred people?"

These 500 videos are all top-notch; choosing just 100 from them is simply too difficult.

"No need to discuss it anymore."

Hua Zitong shook her head.

She took a piece of parchment out of her backpack and handed it to Lin Hai.

"I have already selected the list of one hundred people."

Lin Hai took the parchment and was stunned.

He opened it and saw that it was filled with the IDs of a hundred players.

"This... Sister Hua, when did you choose this?" He looked shocked.

"Just now," Hua Zitong replied casually.

Lin Hai and the other two exchanged glances, all seeing respect in each other's eyes.

The choice that the others found incredibly difficult to make together was something Hua Zitong accomplished single-handedly without them even realizing it.

"Alright, let's send out the notices according to this list." Hua Zitong stood up, preparing to take a break.

"Wait, Sister Hua!" Lin Hai suddenly called out to her.

"Um?"

"This list..." Lin Hai pointed to the top ten names on the parchment, which were circled in red ink by Hua Zitong and stood out prominently. "Is there anything special about these ten people?"

Hua Zitong paused upon hearing this.

She turned to look at Lin Hai, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.

"It's nothing, I just find them very interesting."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Lin Hai looking confused.

Meanwhile, Li Wu, who was far away at the top of Fengyu Mountain, had just received a message from Hua Zitong.

[Seeking Mist Among Flowers: I have another special list here.]

Li Wu raised an eyebrow.

[Seeing Through the Fog: What List?]

[Seeking Mist Among Flowers: A list of only ten people.]

[Seeking Mist Among Flowers: You'll see tomorrow.]
