[Sun Chasing Archer: Inheritance of the best archer in the Land of Beiqi]
Character Class Background: The Sun Chasing Archer, the man who was enthralled by archery, had devoted decades to mastering his archery skills. However, even until later in his life, archery still had not become his forte. When his Yin Flame was about to be extinguished, he witnessed the silhouette of Emperor Jin Wu passing by amidst the sunset. Looking at the Scorching Flame that was scattered across the entire sky, the realization hit him hard. All of a sudden, he gained the apperception of the Sun Chasing Aura. His life was revamped and his lifespan was subsequently prolonged. He outdid himself and, within the next three years, became the best archer in the Land of Beiqi.
Cultivation of Character Class: Attributes will be enhanced by 50% every time the level of the player increases. Players will also receive a unique supplementary passive power, Eagle Eyes, and an extra energy bar, Sun Chasing Aura.
"Eagle Eyes (passive)": Enhancement of visual ability. Players will be able to adjust pupil’s focal length independently.
"Sun Chasing Aura (100 energy points)": Every Sun Chasing shot will consume one energy point. Meanwhile, the application of the skill will constantly consume energy points. The energy points will recover by one point for every three seconds.
Additional Skills: Sun Chasing Dispersion, Sliding, Annihilation
"Sun Chasing Dispersion (consume five points)": Players will be able to shoot five arrows that have been strengthened by the Sun Chasing Aura, and execute an area damage.
"Sliding (consume three points)": Players are allowed to flexibly utilize the Sun Chasing Aura and apply it onto their feet, enabling the players to perform a short-distance rapid slide. (It can be used to avoid attack and approach opponents.)
"Annihilation (consume all remaining energy)": Players will be able to consolidate all the Sun Chasing power from the entire body and forge an arrow of soul energy to release a deadly attack. (No arrow is needed to apply this skill.)
"The second stage will begin after the player has reached Level 100 and completed the class development. Details can be obtained from the Character Class Instructor."
Character Class’ Weapon: Bow and arrow.
The players, who had been watching the live stream, enviously looked at the Inheritance Menu of the Sun Chasing Archer.
"The ten Archery Masters have gained the inheritance with their own capability. I respect them!"
"I’m envious but not jealous for you have obtained the inheritance with your own ability. Even if I had your character class, I will not have hit the target with my ability."
"I acknowledge this! In order to master this character class, it really requires talent in archery. An ordinary person will never be able to do this!"
The audience unanimously approved the ten players who were about to receive the inheritance. After all, they had earned this with their own ability rather than merely by luck. All the other
Soon after Ye Chen achieved his class advancement, he was overjoyed to immediately receive three new skills.
Knowing that he had another thirty minutes to test his skills, Ye Chen felt ambitious.
He lifted up the iron bow and drew one arrow from his newly acquired quiver. Then, he locked the arrow to the bowstring. He aimed at a fixed target that was 50 meters away and released the arrow confidently.
"Thud! Zero points." The scoreboard displayed the score from afar.
"Cough. This is a mistake. It’s a mistake," knowing that he was on a live stream, Ye Chen put on an embarrassed grin before he took out another arrow.
However, before long, Ye Chen’s laughter had been completely extirpated.
He made five consecutive attempts and none of the arrows managed to hit the target.
Ye Chen was appalled by the result.
With his trembling hands, Ye Chen aimed at the target that was 100 meters away and activated his Eagle Eyes. He could clearly see the distant target with his naked eyes.
Ye Chen lifted up the bow again and took a deep breath before he slowly let go of the bowstring in his hand.
"Thud! Zero points."
"Thud! Zero points."
"Thud! Zero points."
Ye Chen, who refused to give up, focused his gaze upon the moving target that was 150 meter away from him and began to shoot frantically.
"Thud! Zero points."
"Thud! Zero points."
The consecutive nils left Ye Chen dumbfounded.
And the players, who were watching the live stream, were as astounded as him.
A_Mammoth: "Isn’t he the champion? The result… I have a terrifying idea."
Crayon_Shinchan: "Predestined Archery. The player will be able to hit the target only during the right times. I think that the other player is having the same idea."
Ye_Xueer_is_the_cutest: "I was skeptical when I saw my brother’s outstanding archery skills as he has never undergone any training before. Now, I understand what’s going on. This is such an overwhelming truth."
Strike_Gold: "This is really overwhelming. Can this really be the legendary Predestined Archery?"
Invincible_Loneliness: "Perhaps he shut down the automatic aiming system and accidentally exposed his real ability."
Watermelon_Taro: "So… will his account be scrapped?"
Guard_With_Knife replied to Watermelon_Taro: "Basically… it’s scrapped…"
Golden_Saint_Seiya: "It seems a little tense now. Well, I have a question, can I laugh now?"
The_Bronze_Player replied to Golden_Saint_Seiya: "Hahaha, I’ll start first!"
At this moment, Ye Chen realized how major the issue was.
Perhaps the previous fifteen shots on the targets were merely coincidence!
This idea turned Ye Chen’s face pale and his gaze soulless.
After he achieved the class advancement and became an archer, bow and arrows were the only weapon that he was equipped with. At the thought of this, Ye Chen’s hand, which was still holding the bow, trembled uncontrollably.
He tried to extract the blue greatsword from his channel.
"Reminder: You have achieved Class Advancement and are now a Sun Chasing Archer. Your default weapons are bows and arrows. You are not allowed to use a greatsword."
"Oh my god! Can I downgrade myself to be a berserker again?" Ye Chen squatted on the floor and growled helplessly.
In the comment section:
Crayon_Shinchan: "What a show! Congratulations on driving someone crazy!"
A_Mammoth: "Don’t cry, my brother. You can show off your Predestined Archery to the audience."
Strike_Gold: "Don’t cry, you still can use your bow… to whack your enemies, hahaha!"
Watermelon_Taro: "Can you share some sympathy to this man? Look at how hard our champion is crying, or rather, how sorrowful he is!"
Ye_Xueer_is_the_cutest: "Brother, there are some things that you can’t change. You can do this! Start practicing your archery skills now. You’ll soon become an Archery Master!"
Crayon_Shinchan replied to Ye_Xueer_is_the_cutest: "Predestined Archery Master? (This is hilarious.)"
Ye_Xueer_is_the_cutest replied to Crayon_Shinchan: "Are you guys from Great Dragon Guilt trying to pick a fight?"
Crayon_Shinchan replied to Ye_Xueer_is_the_cutest: "We don’t have the audacity to do that. You guys have the Predestined Archery Master on your side. We’re afraid to be shot in the head. (This is hilarious.)"
Looking at the comments under the live stream, Ye Chen grew more distressed.
Remembering how he used to be a simple and ruthless berserker, he regretted not cherishing that character while he could and made a bad decision to join the trial.
He grew even more bitter when he realized that he was actually the champion.
