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

"So many?" The bull gripped its warhammer tightly.

"That's normal," Hua Zitong said. "The monster spawn rate in Tanaris is three times higher than in other areas, which is why it's one of the best leveling spots. Lots of monsters, fast respawns, and plenty of experience points."

"But this is too dense..." Xingchen muttered. He was a priest, just over level 31, and seeing so many elite monsters made him nervous.

"Stand still and don't move," Li Wu's voice came from the front.

Everyone immediately stopped in their tracks.

Li Wu took down his bow, but this time, he did not unleash a powerful attack like the Burning Star Return to Ruins Arrow.

Instead, it fired an earth-yellow arrow.

"Bang!"

The arrows landed on the ground, causing the sand to churn. Eight 1.2-meter-tall stone golems emerged from the ground, forming a horizontal line and blocking the front of the procession.

[Rock-Solid Army Arrow]

The stone golems were lined up and faced the sandworm swarm.

Immediately afterwards, Li Wu fired a second arrow.

Golden light spread out from beneath their feet, forming a circular area with a radius of ten meters.

[Multiple Arrows Field]

"Now take a close look," Li Wu said.

Then he began to shoot arrows.

The first arrow – [Chain Lightning Arrow]

A bolt of blue-white lightning shot out from the bowstring, hitting the foremost sandworm before leaping and striking the seven sandworms beside it within a second.

But it's not over yet.

Because of the effect of the Multi-Arrow Field, this arrow became three arrows.

Three chain-like lightning bolts unfolded simultaneously, overlapping and covering the area.

More than twenty sandworms were all engulfed by lightning in less than two seconds.

Damage numbers rained down on the monster's head.

-3892!

-3746!

-4011!

-3668!

……

Li Wu did not stop.

The second arrow, the third arrow, the fourth arrow—

The chain lightning arrows have an extremely fast firing rate, and combined with the splitting effect of the multi-arrow field, three lightning bolts leap and jump in the sandworm swarm every second.

The sandworms didn't even have time to break through the stone golem defenses before they fell one after another.

Less than fifteen seconds.

All 27 elite sandworms (levels 33-35) were wiped out.

Experience points flooded into everyone's experience bar in the team.

Qixian Liuli was stunned to see her experience bar increase by nearly one-fifth.

"Fifteen seconds?" the bull muttered to himself. "Fifteen seconds to take down twenty-seven elites?"

"No, that's not right." Anchor swallowed, his voice a little hoarse. "You do the damage calculations. Each monster has at least twenty or thirty thousand HP, right? Twenty-seven of them would be..."

He counted on his fingers for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

"Over seven hundred thousand," Mohen calmly reported the figure from the side. "It dealt approximately seven to eight hundred thousand total damage in fifteen seconds."

"Seven hundred thousand?" Bull thought he might have misheard.

"Yes." Mohen's voice was flat, but his hand trembled slightly as he adjusted his glasses. "The average output is close to 50,000 per second."

Everyone stopped talking.

50,000 per second.

How much damage can these players in their early 30s do per second when they go all out against a stationary wooden stake?

At most a few hundred.

A better one costs over a thousand.

In other words, Li Wu's output alone is equivalent to that of fifty of them.

No, maybe a hundred.

"Keep going." Li Wu had already started walking.

The ten people behind them looked at each other in bewilderment, then quickly followed.

They had assumed that what they had witnessed at the Scarlet Monastery was already Li Wu's full power.

It turns out that's not true at all.

In Scarlet Monastery, Li Wu was "leading them through the dungeon," needing to manage everyone's pace, control damage to avoid stealing tank aggro, and switch back and forth between DPS and healing.

But now... he's in the open wilderness, without any restrictions.

This is his true fighting style.

One person is an army.

Over the next hour, the team advanced northeastward, crushing all the monster hordes they encountered along the way in the same way.

Stone golems stood in front as a defensive line, Multi-Arrow Field provided a splitting bonus, and then Chain Lightning Arrows, Explosive Burning Arrows, and Ice and Fire Spiral Arrows were used in turn.

Each wave of monsters lasts no more than twenty seconds.

As for Li Wu's mana... it seems like it will never run out.

Occasionally, when his mana is low, he will shoot a dark purple arrow. After hitting a monster, his mana bar will visibly recover.

Siphon Arrow.

Absorb blue.

Mohen stood behind, watching all this, feeling as if all his years of studying magic had been for nothing.

"How much mana does he actually have?" Mohen couldn't help but ask Hua Zitong.

Hua Zitong glanced at him.

"Around 25,000."

"How many?"

"Twenty-five thousand."

Ink Mark: "..."

His maximum mana is 3,800.

It's seven times worse.

No, it's more than seven times! Li Wu also has the Siphon Arrow to restore mana, which is equivalent to having unlimited mana.

He needs to use a blue potion after casting three Blizzards.

How the hell can we even compare?

"Stop comparing." Hua Zitong saw through his thoughts and said calmly, "Focus on improving yourself. Your self-control is the best in the entire guild, and no one can replace you in that regard."

Mohen took a deep breath.

"I know."

The team continued its advance.

Two hours later, they arrived at a wide-open high ground. From there, they could see a huge sand and stone complex in the distance, half-buried in the yellow sand.

That's Zul'Farrak.

The entrance to the level 35 dungeon.

"See that?" Li Wu pointed to the cluster of buildings in the distance. "That's our target."

Then he turned around and looked at the ten people.

"But before that..."

His gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally settling on Hua Zitong's face for a fleeting moment.

"Each of you must reach level 35."

His voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear.

"The monster density in this area is sufficient. From now on, I'll lead the way, and you guys follow behind to finish them off and gain experience."

"Finish off?" Steel Shield was taken aback.

"Yes," Li Wu said. "I'll bring the monster to low health, and you guys finish it off. That way, we get more experience than just getting assists."

"Oh—" Steel Shield exclaimed in realization, "This is just boosting! The same trick used in games!"

Li Wu glanced at him: "You can understand it that way."

"So, are we just going to stand here and wait?" Bull grinned.

"If you want to stand and wait, that's fine too," Li Wu said calmly, "but..."

He paused.

"I assigned tasks to everyone, so everyone has something to do."

"ha?"

"While you're leveling up, I need you to practice teamwork. Once we get to Zul'Farrak, I can't possibly do it all by myself."

These words made everyone take a serious look.

Yes.

Leveling up is one aspect, but the ultimate goal is to run dungeons.

Dungeons require teamwork.

Of these ten people, some were from the first regiment, some from the second regiment, and two were newly recruited members. Their teamwork was far from seamless.

"Group them into groups," Li Wu began issuing instructions.

"Steel Shield, Seven Strings of Glass, Ink Trace, Wind Chaser, and Anchor, you five will form a group. Steel Shield will be the main tank, Seven Strings of Glass will heal, Ink Trace will control, and Wind Chaser and Anchor will deal damage."

"Immovable Mountain, Flower Zitong, Starry Sky, Bull, and Mad Blade, you five form a group. Immovable Mountain is the main tank, Starry Sky is the healer, Flower Zitong is the commander and DPS, and Bull and Mad Blade are the DPS."

"Two groups will take turns being paired with me. The group I'm paired with will be responsible for fighting monsters and leveling up with me. The other group will practice their teamwork on their own—I will check your teamwork every now and then."

"From now on, you can only rest during mealtimes and sleeptimes. The rest of the time will be used for leveling up and practicing teamwork."

"Did you understand?"

"I understand!"

Li Wu turned around, facing the depths of the desert.

"Let's begin."

He drew back the arcane bow, and an arrow crackling with lightning took shape on the bowstring.

A large swarm of sand scorpions in the distance had already entered his firing range.
