Archer.

A pure, ultimate long-range physical damage dealer.

Zhou Huai's heart stirred as he finished reading the skill descriptions.

Astral Vision was simply the nightmare of all assassins and stealth classes.

Within a one-kilometer radius, there was nowhere to hide.

This was no longer simple reconnaissance; it was absolute control over the battlefield.

And the combination of Starlight Beacon and Volley of Arrows pushed single-target burst damage to a terrifying level.

A hundredfold increase in firing speed, coupled with automatic tracking and infinitely stackable damage.

Once a target was locked on, an endless, world-destroying barrage of arrows awaited them.

“This time, the naming process is simple.”

The name of that person in his previous life was a household name.

In Zhou Huai's mind, the majestic figure who shot down the sun with a bow in mythology appeared.

“Let's call him... Dayi!”

System Notification: Naming successful! Clone 'Dayi' created.

System Notification: Please shape the appearance of Clone 'Dayi'.

Zhou Huai's thoughts stirred slightly.

A clear outline of an image quickly formed in his mind.

Two hours later, the Clone was fully generated.

With a thought, a tall figure appeared out of thin air in Zhou Huai's bedroom.

He was over 1.9 meters tall, with a robust but not bulky physique. Every inch of his muscle was filled with explosive power, as perfect as an ancient Greek sculpture.

His bronze-colored skin glowed with a healthy luster under the light.

His face had sharp features, and his deep, keen eyes seemed to pierce through people's hearts, full of spirit.

He simply stood there, emanating a powerful aura that was as steady as a mountain and yet sharply incisive.

Zhou Huai immediately instructed Ouyezi to custom-make a set of beginner equipment for Dayi at the fastest speed.

Soon, Dayi, dressed in black combat attire and carrying an ancient longbow on his back,

was teleported by Zhou Huai to the battlefield in front of the giant stone gate deep within the ruins.

To begin his leveling journey.

...

A few days later.

Imperial Capital Academy, Tempering Tower.

Gandalf's Rank finally broke through the forty-level mark.

A brand new skill message appeared before Zhou Huai's eyes.

Giant Wave Surge

Skill Effect: Consumes 10,000 Mana. Summons a giant wave to crash in the target direction. Targets hit by the giant wave will take 500% Mental Energy damage, lasting for 1 minute. Targets within the giant wave will also take 200% Mental Energy continuous damage per second. There is also a certain chance to trigger a 'Suffocation' effect, preventing the use of any skills while suffocating. Cooldown: Two hours.

Another large-scale forbidden spell.

And it was of the water attribute.

Zhou Huai felt much more confident after reading the skill description.

His chances for this trip to the ruins had significantly increased.

At this time, only three days remained before Gandalf's departure to the ruins.

Li Zheyuan and Chen Lanxin finally lived up to expectations and increased the instrument's intensity.

Reaching an unprecedented 3.0.

At an intensity of 3.0, Gandalf still showed no emotional fluctuations.

Professor Li Zheyuan looked at the curve on the monitor, which remained as steady as ever, his initial shock long gone.

Instead, he stroked his chin, deep in thought.

“There's only one possibility now,”

he said with great certainty.

“This kid is definitely the Reincarnation of some big shot!”

“Otherwise, how could he withstand a Mental Energy impact of 3.0 intensity?”

“It must be so!”

Chen Lanxin, on the other hand, silently recorded the data, not saying a word.

Only the depths of her beautiful eyes, hidden behind her glasses, shimmered with an increasingly intense look of inquiry.

A Reincarnation of a powerful being?

Perhaps.

But she leaned towards another possibility.

This Gandalf might just be someone's Puppet.

Soon.

The last three days quietly passed in monotonous Cultivation.

When the last drop of energy from the 'Mortal Demon Source Stone' in the Tempering Tower was completely absorbed,

Gandalf's Rank ultimately stopped at forty-three.

Just a hair's breadth away from forty-four.

That morning, Zhang Donglai appeared at the door, his face beaming.

He had changed out of his military uniform today, wearing casual clothes, looking less like a stern soldier and more like a friendly uncle next door.

“Kid, are you ready?”

He walked in cheerfully, his large, fan-like hand giving Gandalf a heavy pat on the shoulder.

Zhou Huai, controlling Gandalf, asked,

“General Zhang.”

“Are we preparing to depart now?”

“No hurry, no hurry, there's still some time.”

Zhang Donglai waved his hand, a mysterious smile on his face.

“Before we leave, I need to take you to meet someone.”

Zhou Huai raised an eyebrow.

“Meet who?”

“Hehe, you'll know when we get there.”

Zhang Donglai kept him in suspense, unceremoniously putting his arm around Gandalf's shoulder and leading him out.

“Just follow me, I promise it's a good thing.”

The black military special vehicle smoothly drove away from the Imperial Capital Academy.

Outside the car window, the serene and elegant scenery of the academy rapidly receded, replaced by the bustling and noisy streetscape of the Imperial Capital.

Soon, the vehicle left the urban area and entered a heavily guarded zone.

Towering walls, barbed wire flashing with electricity, and cold watchtowers.

This was the core area of the Imperial Capital Military Department.

The air was filled with the scent of iron and blood, solemn and grave.

The vehicle stopped in front of a majestic building constructed entirely of gray stone.

The building's shape was square and rigid, like a crouching giant beast, full of power.

Zhou Huai looked up at the crimson Dragon flag fluttering atop the building and already had a guess in his heart.

It seemed that a high-ranking official from the Military Department wanted to meet him.

And their ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) status was definitely far above General Zhang's.

“Get out of the car.”

Zhang Donglai's smile had faded considerably, his expression becoming serious and respectful.

He led Gandalf into this building, which symbolized the highest military authority of the Great Xia Country.

In the corridor, officers in crisp military uniforms bustled back and forth.

Their steps were hurried, their expressions stern, and they exuded the fierce aura of seasoned veterans.

Seeing Zhang Donglai, they all stopped and saluted.

“Good day, General!”

Zhang Donglai merely nodded slightly, then led Gandalf directly to the third floor.

Finally, the two stopped in front of an office door made of thick solid wood.

Zhang Donglai adjusted his collar, took a deep breath, and then raised his hand to knock gently on the door.

“Thump, thump.”

His movements even carried a hint of imperceptible nervousness.

“Marshal Zhao, I've brought him.”

Inside the door, a slightly hoarse but exceptionally steady voice replied.

The voice seemed to contain a peculiar magic; just listening to it brought a sense of calm.

“Come in.”

Marshal Zhao?

Zhou Huai's consciousness, within Gandalf's body, skipped a beat.

In the entire Great Xia Country, only one person was qualified to be called “Marshal.”

The legendary figure who commanded the three armies from the Imperial Capital, known as the “Invincible Military God” of the Great Xia Country.

Zhao Qingcang!
