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

The atmosphere became extremely awkward at that moment.

"Holy crap, no way..." Steel Shield's smile vanished as he looked at Anchor. He scratched his head, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Bull was getting anxious too. He walked over to Anchor, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, don't be upset. It's just a dungeon. Next time... next time we'll team up again!"

It would have been better if he hadn't said it; once he did, Iron Anchor's shoulders slumped.

next time?

There won't be a first-time pass next time.

Everyone fell silent!

They looked at the anchor with its head bowed, and a pang of sadness gripped their hearts. It felt like a family preparing to go out for a big meal, only to find that there was one seat missing in the car, and someone had to stay behind to watch the house.

Whoever stays will feel bad.

In the midst of this oppressive silence, Li Wu spoke.

"Anchor".

His voice wasn't loud, but it was very clear.

Iron Anchor suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Wu, his eyes filled with a pleading look that he himself did not realize.

Li Wu didn't look at him, but instead gazed at the dungeon entrance half-hidden by yellow sand in the distance, and said in a calm tone, "You stay."

Iron Anchor's heart sank completely.

"However," Li Wu changed the subject, finally turning his gaze to Tie Mao, "after we finish fighting, I'll train you for two days on my own."

"Huh?" The anchor was stunned and didn't react.

"I'll train you alone for two days," Li Wu repeated, each word clear, "forty-eight hours, just the two of us."

These words stunned not only Iron Anchor, but everyone else.

Two days of individual tutoring for the grade?

Forty-eight hours?

What... what does this mean?

These ten people followed Li Wu, and in five days, each of them leveled up by nearly three levels on average. This was even while Li Wu needed to be distracted by teaching tactics, practicing teamwork, and taking care of everyone.

If you're only bringing one person...

How terrifying must that efficiency be?

Steel Shield's mind worked the fastest. He counted on his fingers for a moment, then exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

"Anchor, you son of a bitch! You didn't just draw the worst lot, you drew the best one!" Steel Shield looked at Anchor with envy and jealousy. "The guild leader will take you under his wing for a day! Two days! Wouldn't you level up to level 37 in no time?"

"Thirty-seven? You underestimate the chairman!" The bull finally realized what he meant, his eyes wide, drool practically dripping from his mouth. "I think it's at least thirty-eight! Damn it, I should have smoked the shorter one too!"

"Exactly! Anchor, you're incredibly lucky!"

"President, will there be another chance like this? I want to try my luck in the lottery too!"

The atmosphere instantly took a 180-degree turn.

The sympathetic looks they had just given me have now turned into naked jealousy.

Even the anchor was dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at Li Wu, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Disappointment, resentment, and loss... these emotions were completely washed away in just a few seconds by an even bigger surprise, replaced by an indescribable ecstasy.

The guild leader personally guided him through leveling up!

Two days!

He thought of Li Wu's godlike monster-clearing efficiency, the devastating [Burning Star Return to Ruins Arrow], and the terrifying scene of wiping out a group of elite monsters in fifteen seconds...

If all those experiences belonged to him alone...

Iron Anchor's breathing became rapid. He felt as if he hadn't missed out on the first bus, but rather won the lottery.

"President...I..." Anchor stammered, too excited to speak coherently, "I...I thank you!"

"No need." Li Wu's expression didn't change much. "This is what you deserve. Drawing lots was just bad luck, and this compensation is a benefit for you."

He paused, then added, "You just wait in the camp, and keep an eye out for us so that people from other guilds don't come and cause trouble."

"Yes, sir! Don't worry, Chairman!" Iron Anchor immediately thumped his chest loudly. "Anyone who dares to come near, I'll fight them to the death!"

He's full of energy now, and there's not a trace of disappointment in him.

A crisis was resolved by Li Wu with a simple promise.

Hua Zitong stood to the side, watching this scene, a slight smile playing on her lips.

This person is always like this. They solve the most complex problems in the simplest and most direct way. They ensure fairness, appease people, and incidentally motivate everyone.

"Alright." Li Wu glanced at the dungeon entrance. "The problem is solved. Now, the ten of us are ready to enter the dungeon."

"yes!"

This time, everyone's voices were filled with power.

Steel Shield gripped his shield tightly, remaining as immovable as a mountain as he adjusted the massive shield on his back. A cold light shone from Inkmark's staff, Wind Chaser's eyes sharpened, Seven Strings Glazed Glass and Starry Sky took a deep breath, and Wild Bull and Mad Blade exchanged a glance, revealing bloodthirsty smiles.

Hua Zitong walked to Li Wu's side.

Ten figures stood facing the ancient Scorpion Temple under the scorching sun of the Tanaris Desert.

"Zul'Farrak," Li Wu said softly, looking at the dark gold dungeon entrance. "We've arrived."

After saying that, he was the first to step into the distorted light curtain.

The other nine followed closely behind.

The moment Li Wu stepped into the light curtain, the scorching air around him instantly turned cool.

Before them was no longer an endless expanse of yellow sand, but a wide stone passageway. On both sides of the passageway were stone walls ten meters high, covered with ancient and blurred murals, mostly depicting scenes of Scorpion People's sacrifices and wars.

Dim torches burned on the walls, casting flickering shadows that made the entire space feel mysterious and oppressive.

"This is inside Zul'Farrak," Hua Zitong's voice rang out in the team channel. Her voice was calm, but with a hint of seriousness. "The smell of sand in the air is much stronger now."

Steel Shield led the way, carrying his shield, and warily surveyed his surroundings: "It feels much more sinister than Scarlet Monastery."

"Nonsense, Scarlet Monastery is a church, this is a scorpion's lair." The bull, carrying its warhammer, looked around curiously.

"Everyone, be quiet."

Li Wu's voice wasn't loud, but it instantly silenced the chattering crowd.

He stood at the very front of the line, his gaze sweeping across the darkness ahead like that of a hawk.

"From now on, enter combat mode." Li Wu's voice clearly reached everyone's ears through the guild channel. "This dungeon is different from Scarlet Monastery. I won't do everything by myself like last time."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats.

They certainly remembered Li Wu's all-around performance in Scarlet Monastery, where he single-handedly took on the roles of main tank, main DPS, main controller, and main healer.

The scene was impressive, but it also made these so-called elites feel like a group of spectators shouting "666".
