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

The treasure chest opened with a snap, and a dazzling golden light shot into the sky!

[System notification: You have opened a Lucky Treasure Chest and obtained the skill book "Holy Light Guardian"!]

As the golden light faded, a thick skill book, radiating a soft white light, floated quietly in mid-air.

"Holy crap! The Golden Legend!" Li Wu exclaimed excitedly, swearing out loud.

She shared the skill book's attributes with Li Wu.

[Skill Book: Holy Light Protection (Rare)]

[Class Requirements: Warrior, Knight]

[Effect: Summons holy light to protect your body. For the next 5 seconds, you will be immune to all damage, but unable to move or attack. Cooldown: 30 minutes.]

Li Wu was also taken aback when he saw the description of this skill.

Invincible for 5 seconds!

This is practically a get-out-of-jail-free card!

In crucial moments, those 5 seconds can be enough to change the outcome of a battle.

"I've struck gold!" Hua Zitong exclaimed happily as she immediately began learning the skill book.

With this skill, she'll be even more reckless in the future, daring to charge into hordes of monsters to deal damage.

"Keep going, keep going!" Having tasted the sweetness, Hua Zitong couldn't wait to open the second treasure chest.

This time it was a purple light!

[System notification: You have opened a Lucky Treasure Chest and obtained the equipment [Boots of Lightness]!]

A pair of sleek combat boots, made of cyan leather and wind element crystals, appeared before the two.

【Light and Agile Boots (Fine)】

Type: Leather Armor

[Level Requirement: LV7]

[Attributes: Agility +10, Constitution +5]

[Special Effect: Your movement speed is increased by 10%.]

Another top-tier piece of equipment!

Although it's only of the "Excellent" tier, the 10% movement speed bonus is practically a godsend in the early game.

It's incredibly useful for chasing, escaping, and positioning.

Hua Zitong was still wearing a pair of white sneakers, but without saying a word, she changed into them.

She ran a couple of steps in place to get used to the new speed and was very satisfied!

Li Wu watched from the side, feeling a pang of envy.

Two boxes in a row yielded top-tier items.

"Just one more!" Hua Zitong rubbed her hands together, her face full of anticipation. "One more divine artifact, and I'll be complete!"

She opened the third treasure chest with great hope.

This time, it was still a purple light.

[System Notification: You have opened a Lucky Treasure Chest and obtained the [Advanced Energy Potion Recipe]!]

An ancient-looking parchment scroll appeared in her hand.

"The recipe?" Hua Zitong was taken aback for a moment, then a look of understanding appeared on her face.

"That's not bad either," she said. "Energy potions are a form of hard currency. With the formula, we won't have to worry about money anymore."

Energy is one of the most important resources in this game, and all players need it.

Alchemists who can make energy potions are highly sought-after by major guilds in the early stages of the game.

Although Hua Zitong is not a pharmacist, this formula could definitely fetch an astronomical price if it were sold elsewhere.

"Alright, I'm done. It's your turn." Hua Zitong looked at Li Wu with satisfaction. "Let's see what you can get!"

Li Wu got two lucky draws when fighting the boss before, I wonder what good stuff he'll get this time!

Hua Zitong is really looking forward to it!

Li Wu walked to his three treasure chests and took a deep breath.

To be honest, he was also looking forward to it.

But before opening the treasure chest, he needs to use an item!

He then took out a small coin from his backpack: [Lucky Coin]

use!

Your luck instantly doubled!

11.5!

He didn't bother with any fancy rituals; he simply reached out and touched the first treasure chest.

"open!"

The treasure chest is opened, and light shines forth.

But unlike Hua Zitong's dazzling golden light, what shone from Li Wu's treasure chest was a deep and mysterious... cyan light.

The light wasn't dazzling, but it carried a sense of antiquity and weight.

[System Notification: You have opened a Lucky Treasure Chest and obtained the special item [Mystic Inspiration Stone]!]

As the blue light dissipated, a palm-sized, emerald-green stone, its surface covered with countless tiny runes, floated silently in front of Li Wu.

The stone doesn't look fancy; it's even rather plain.

"What is this?" Hua Zitong asked curiously as she came closer.

She had never seen anything like it before; it was neither equipment, nor a skill book, nor a material.

Li Wu shared the stone's properties with her.

[Mystic Inspiration Stone (Special Consumable)]

[Job Requirement: Arcane Archer]

[Effect: Upon use, you will enter the "Arcane Inspiration" state for 10 minutes. During this state, your comprehension speed of arcane runes will be greatly increased.]

[Description: A stone containing pure arcane essence, a treasure coveted by arcane archers.]

After reading the introduction, Hua Zitong gasped.

Arcane Archer Exclusive!

Exclusive consumable!

I can't believe there's such a thing!

Even in her previous life, she had never heard of such a thing!

"Your luck... is unbelievable." Hua Zitong looked at Li Wu with envy in her eyes.

Li Wu's heart was pounding wildly.

He desperately needs this!

He had just mastered the [Blazing] and [Increase] skills and created the attack skill [Burning Arrow].

The Burning Arrow was powerful, but he knew it was far from enough.

The Burning Arrow is just a combination of two secret runes; no matter how powerful it is, its effects are limited.

He needs more power!

He needs to combine three or even four secret texts to create a skill!

And this [Stone of Enlightenment] has arrived at just the right time!

But don't rush, there are still two treasure chests to go!

Li Wu reached out and opened the second one.

This time, there was neither golden light nor blue light, but a dazzling... seven-colored light!

The light was so dazzling that it illuminated the entire cave with a kaleidoscope of colors.

A powerful energy fluctuation, so strong that it made both of them feel a chill, spread out from the treasure chest.

[System notification: You have opened a Lucky Treasure Chest and obtained the unique skill book "Destiny Deflection"!]

"A unique skill?!"

This time, Li Wu couldn't help but shout it out.

The unique skill means that there is only one such skill in the entire Origin Realm!

As the light faded, a thin book, seemingly woven from starlight, floated before the two of them.

Li Wu's breathing became rapid, and he stretched out his slightly trembling hand to share the attributes of the skill book.

[Skill Book: Fate Deflection (Unique)]

【Job Requirements: None】

[Effect: Upon activation, you will enter the "Fate Deflection" state. For the next 3 seconds, you will deflect all attacks and negative effects directed at you, returning them 100% to the caster. This skill cannot be interrupted or removed by any effect. Cooldown: 24 hours.]

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

Li Wu and Hua Zitong stared at each other, both seeing extreme shock in each other's eyes.

Reflects all attacks and negative effects for 3 seconds!

100% refund!

It cannot be interrupted!

What... what kind of god-like skill is this?!

This is no longer a "get-out-of-jail-free card," it's a "counter-attack weapon"!

Imagine that when a BOSS unleashes a devastating, screen-wide ultimate attack, Hua Zitong only needs to activate this skill at the crucial moment to not only remain unharmed but also return the ultimate attack to the BOSS intact!

That scene...

Li Wu felt his scalp tingling.

"I...I'm not dreaming, am I?" Hua Zitong's voice trembled.

In her previous life, she had only heard of skills with similar effects in legends, which were said to be the exclusive ability of a certain boss.

She never dreamed that Li Wu would be able to open such an incredible item from a lucky treasure chest!

"Let's learn it soon!" Li Wu was even more excited than her.

This skill is a perfect match for Hua Zitong!

"ah?!"

"I studied?!"

Hua Zitong was stunned. Li Wu was going to give her this skill?

"You forgot? I can't learn skills! If you don't learn them, who will?" Li Wu shrugged helplessly.

Hua Zitong suddenly realized what was happening; she remembered.

Arcane Archers can only use skills they create themselves; they cannot learn any skills!

This is also a major reason why those arcane archers failed to rise to prominence in the previous life!

Hua Zitong quickly chose to learn a seven-colored ray of light and integrate it into her body. A brand new icon exuding a mysterious aura appeared in her skill list.

She felt like she was floating on clouds.

Happiness comes too suddenly.
