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

Career change.

These four words made Hua Zitong pause slightly.

She then remembered that although Li Wu was already level 30 and strong enough to crush all kinds of experts, he had not yet completed his first job change.

In Origin Realm, job change is a hurdle that all players must overcome.

Completing the job change not only means a significant increase in all attributes, but more importantly, it allows you to learn the core skills of each job branch, resulting in a qualitative leap in combat power.

Only after a Steel Shield is promoted to "Shield Warrior" can they learn top-tier damage reduction skills like [Shield Wall].

It's fair to say that the game before and after the job change is completely different.

And what will be Li Wu's job advancement, given that he is the only Arcane Archer in the entire server?

What kind of terrifying boost could it bring him?

Hua Zitong's heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation.

She continued, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No need." Li Wu shook his head. "My mentor told me before that I should go see him after I reach level 30."

"Then be careful," Hua Zitong instructed. "If you run into trouble, call me anytime."

"Don't worry." Li Wu smiled and turned to walk out of the conference room.

After leaving Qianjin Pavilion, Li Wu did not delay at all and headed straight for the City Lord's Mansion.

Along the way, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere in Ironforge was very different from before.

The players on the street no longer looked at him with simple curiosity or awe, but with a kind of fanatical worship.

Many players, after recognizing him, would even stop and stare at him, then excitedly discuss him with their companions on the spot.

"Look! It's the God of Seeing Flowers Through the Fog!"

"Holy crap! He's alive! And even more handsome than in the video!"

"Where is this expert going? Is he going to do something big again?"

Li Wu was already used to these gazes. He kept his eyes straight ahead and soon arrived in front of the magnificent city lord's mansion.

With his "Respected" reputation, he passed through layers of guards without hindrance and once again arrived at that familiar and secluded study.

Erling was sitting amidst a pile of blueprints and parts, intently studying something.

"Mentor, I'm here," Li Wu said.

Erling looked up, his cloudy eyes brightening when he saw Li Wu.

He put down his tools, stood up, and walked around Li Wu, nodding with satisfaction as he went.

"Excellent, excellent... Your foundation is very solid. Your mental strength is refined, your magic is abundant, and your understanding of the runes has exceeded my expectations," Erlin said approvingly. "It seems that my decision to have you suppress your level and focus on comprehension and creation was the right one."

"I'm already level 30," Li Wu said directly. "Now, can I change my job?"

"Of course." Erlin stroked his beard, a mysterious smile on his face. "The Arcane Archer's first job advancement is less of a job advancement and more of a 'qualification certification'."

"Certification?" Li Wu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"That's right." Erling walked to the bookshelf and took down a thick, coverless ancient book.

He handed the book to Li Wu and said, "The power of an arcane archer lies not in a single, fixed skill, but in the understanding and creation of 'arrow language.' Every shot you take is a spell, and every combination of arcane runes is a rewriting of the rules of the world."

"This job change is to test whether you have a deep enough understanding of the most basic 'three-word arrow language'."

Li Wu took the ancient book, opened it, and found that it contained the three-character arrow language skills that he had previously comprehended and created.

For example, [Fusion Penetrating Arrow] (Blazing + Increase + Condensation), [Life Balance Flowing Arrow] (Glory + Healing + Balance), etc.

Behind each skill lies a detailed cipher structure and logical analysis.

"You've already mastered all of these," Erling said, pointing to the pages. "But mastering doesn't mean being proficient. One of the purposes of this test is to have you apply these skills you've 'learned' in various extreme situations, thereby deepening your understanding of them."

"Only by truly understanding them can you create more complex four- and five-language skills in the future!"

Erlin's words startled Li Wu.

He had always thought he was already very strong, but now it seems that he is only at the starting point of the Arcane Archer path.

"I understand." Li Wu closed the book, her eyes hardening. "What is the test?"

Erling gave him an approving look, quite pleased with his humble and eager-to-learn attitude.

He didn't speak, but simply stretched out his thin, dry hand and gently pressed it against the wall behind him.

hum-

The once ordinary wall suddenly rippled like water, and a portal shimmering with silver light slowly appeared.

Behind the door, the outline of a towering spire reaching into the clouds can be vaguely seen.

"Go in," Erlin said, pointing to the portal. "Your trial grounds are inside."

Its name is "Arcane Archer's Tower".

"Only by clearing the first three levels of the tower can you obtain the first class title of Arcane Archer—'Mystic Messenger'."

Upon hearing this, Li Wu no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath, bowed slightly to Erlin, and then resolutely stepped into the portal filled with unknowns.

After a slight feeling of weightlessness, Li Wu's feet touched solid ground.

The sight before him startled him slightly.

This is a boundless, pure white space. All around, there is endless whiteness, with no reference points, making one unaware of the passage of time and space.

Directly in front of him stood a massive stone gate, ten meters high, carved with intricate and ancient cryptic symbols, radiating a faint glow.

Welcome to the Arcane Archer's Tower, Challenger.

A grand and ancient voice resounded directly in his mind.

Your first career advancement trial requires you to pass the first three floors of this tower.

Each level will test your understanding and application of a specific aspect of "arrow language".

[During the trial, you cannot use any potions or consumables. If you fail the challenge, you will be able to enter again after one hour.]

Are you ready?

Li Wu did not answer, but silently tightened his grip on the arcane bow.

Seemingly sensing his fighting spirit, the grand voice rang out once more.

[First Trial: Elemental Purity.]

[Rules: Within the time limit, eliminate all incoming elemental creatures. Please note that they are completely immune to elemental attacks of the same origin.]

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge stone gate in front of him opened slowly to both sides with a rumbling sound.
