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

"The 'Burning Star Arrow' is the ultimate manifestation of the four laws of 'Blazing,' 'Increase,' 'Domain,' and 'Condensation,' representing destruction and end."

"But, my child, you must remember that power itself is neither right nor wrong; the key lies in how it is used."

"True arcane archers are never bound by fixed moves. We are dancers of the laws, conductors of energy."

"Four laws can create destruction. What about three? Or two?"

The aged voice, like a morning bell and evening drum, echoed deep within Li Wu's soul.

Li Wu was jolted, as if struck by lightning.

Yup!

How could he forget that!

The power of the [Burning Star Return to Ruins Arrow] lies in its fusion of four secret texts and its perfect application of the power of four laws.

But this also pointed him to another path!

If we remove the "domain" that represents "scope" and only retain the three laws of "blazing", "increase", and "condensation", what will happen?

A brand new idea, like lightning piercing the night, instantly illuminated his entire mental landscape.

The aged voice seemed to understand his thoughts and began to guide him on a deeper level.

"Removing the 'domain' means losing the 'stage' for energy evolution."

The rocks here all have an eerie black color, as if they have been scorched by flames.

The vegetation on the mountain is mostly drought-resistant, oddly shaped black shrubs.

A faint smell of sulfur permeated the air.

The two continued uphill along the rugged mountain path.

Along the way, they also encountered many monsters that roamed the mountains.

Blackrock Boar, Lava Lizard, Fire Elemental...

These monsters are generally between level 12 and 14, and most of them have high physical defense or fire resistance.

For ordinary player teams, this place is absolutely a nightmare.

However, it does not pose a significant threat to Li Wu and Hua Zitong.

Li Wu began to consciously reduce the use of [Explosive Burning Arrow], and instead used ordinary [Burning Arrow], or simply use energy arrows without any attribute, to hone his accuracy shooting ability.

Soon, the two reached the highest peak of the Black Rock Mountains.

A massive altar, constructed from huge stones and exuding an aura of vicissitude and antiquity, came into their view.

In the center of the altar, a huge stone figure, over ten meters tall and made entirely of black rock, sat quietly, like a statue that had been sleeping for thousands of years.

That is their goal—[The Heart of Rock].
