“You can use bows and arrows?” asked Luo Xingyao in confusion when she heard what Link said.

“You talk too much nonsense!” said Link as he grabbed the bow and arrow. He nocked the arrow, drew the bow in one fluid motion, and then aimed at a Skeleton Swordsman nearby.

Luo Xingyao wanted to stop him, but she was stunned the moment Link drew the bow. At that moment, she felt a different vibe from Link. She could not explain it, but she felt a strong instinctual draw towards him.

“Go!” Link loosened his fingers, and the arrow bolted off the bowstring, flying through the air and turning into a bright beam of light. It continued to spin like a huge air vortex.

The arrow plunged into the skull of the Skeleton Swordsman.

Boom!

The Skeleton Swordsman’s skull exploded suddenly as if the arrow that hit it was loaded with explosives.

The scene was spectacular.

Everyone was stunned! They all clearly saw that Link had only used ordinary arrows—the same type Luo Xingyao previously used—but why was there such an effect?

“What... kind of arrow is that?” Luo Xingyao’s eyes flickered, and her breathing quickened.

Seeing this, Link knew that he had achieved his goal. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said, “Storm Spiral Arrow!”

Link was not well-versed with the bow and arrow. This shot was taught to him by Luo Xingyao in his previous life. Storm Spiral Arrow was a technique created by Luo Xingyao in the early days of her past life. The principle behind it was not difficult, but it now seemed like a magical technique.

Link looked at Luo Xingyao. “Is that good enough?”

Luo Xingyao’s eyes shined brightly, and she nodded. “Enough!”

Link smiled lightly. He had used Luo Xingyao’s own technique to win her over. It made for an interesting thought.

Luo Xinghe quickly walked to Link after witnessing what he had done. He clasped his hands and bowed. “Lord!”

Indecision flashed in Luo Xingyao’s eyes. In the end, her red lips opened slightly, and she lowered her head. “Lord!”

This extremely arrogant woman is calling him Lord willingly, tsk... Link suddenly felt removed from reality.

All these highly-talented individuals who had gathered under his command brought him a step closer to the top position of power he aimed for in [Doomsday Online].

Moreover, Link could give his people the equipment they needed to get ahead of all the other [Doomsday Online] players with his talent.

Equipment, skills, gear... Everything they got would be the best.

If a person like Luo Xingyao was given enough resources and had Link’s guidance, she would definitely be able to surpass her previous life’s self.

Under Link’s cultivation, even a slightly less talented genius like Luo Xinghe could easily surpass the past Luo Xingyao.

At this moment, Link felt full of confidence!

Time slowly passed.

Legends about Link spread more and more widely. As a result, a large number of people created teams to kill Skeleton Swordsmen. They hoped that they would be protected by someone powerful, or even better, that they could have power like that too.

However, most of them joined on a spur of the moment decision. They went weak when actually faced with Skeleton Swordsmen. How could they fight? They were scared out of their wits before the fighting even started. The overwhelming majority of people gave up halfway!

Less than 20 people still persisted with the assessment.

Link had already expected this. In fact, he thought that more people should give up. Their number now was not low.

Actually, although the Skeleton Swordsmen were strong, they were not so powerful that an ordinary person could not deal with them.

Everything stemmed from the fear of the unknown!

Once one overcame their initial fear, they had a much higher chance of winning.

“Ah—” A dark muscular man took a big gulp of alcohol, and his eyes immediately turned red.

His brute strength surged. He rushed forward and forcefully bumped into a Skeleton Swordsman.

The Skeleton Swordsman was knocked back by the force.

The man then took out a fruit knife, grabbed the Skeleton Swordsman’s head, and stabbed it vigorously. However, the Skeleton Swordsman’s bones were as hard as stone. The man’s knife had gone blunt without doing any damage until he accidentally thrust the knife into the Skeleton Swordsman’s eye socket!

Hiss!

The Skeleton Swordsman suddenly stopped moving, and its [Soul Fire] gradually extinguished.

The sound of a successful kill notification rang out in his mind.

The man was stunned for a while. He looked at the Skeleton Swordsman body in his arms and recalled what he had just done. Gradually, a wave of ecstasy rose within him.

“Brothers, the eyes of the damned skeletons is their weak point. Their eye sockets may be empty, but they die when stabbed in the eyes!”

When the people around heard him, they all looked over.

Seeing that there was really a dead Skeleton Swordsman at the feet of the person speaking, their hearts thumped loudly.

On the other side, someone yelled, “It’s true! I killed a skeleton too!”

By this time, everyone was getting excited.

Holding various weapons in their hands, they aimed and stabbed at the skeletons’ eye sockets.

...

“Lord, a lot of people should be able to complete the assessment later since they figured the key to killing these skeletons, right?” Xue Linglong couldn’t help but ask as she took in the scene in front of her.

“It’s not that easy. Just wait and see!” said Link slowly while lying on the ground with his hands crossed behind his head.

As he predicted, they weren’t able to attack and kill the skeletons as easily as they thought they would, even though they had found the skeletons’ weak spot.

These dark creatures had strong instincts to protect their [Soul Fire]. When the enemy they faced showed intentions of destroying their [Soul Fire], they would initiate a series of counterattacks.

Unless one was so fast and accurate that the Skeleton Swordsmen could not react in time or were able to react but unable to deflect the attacks, it still wouldn’t be easy to kill them.

Furthermore, many people were getting chopped in half by the Skeleton Swordsmen after their attacks failed.

For a time, Dragon City No. 1 Middle School echoed with screams once again.

Only a very small number of people were able to find the opportunity to land fatal blows by remaining completely vigilant and concentrated, carefully avoiding all the attacks of the Skeleton Swordsmen.

...

Gradually, the number of battlefields decreased.

Ten... seven... two!

Only two people were still fighting!

All the others had either escaped or died...

What surprised Link was that Qiao Ruowei was one of the remaining two people!

“She managed to last until now?” Interest sparked in Link’s eyes.

At this moment, Qiao Ruowei’s appearance was already beyond wretched. Her hair was disheveled like a madwoman, and she was covered in bloodstains. Her clothes were bedraggled. However, what was exposed was not tantalizing pale flesh. Instead, it was horrifying bone-deep cuts.

Many of her wounds had already become infected and were filled with pus. Her bones could be seen through the wounds.

The long skirt that was originally as white as a fairy had long been soaked through by blood and turned black.

She looked like she had fallen into a dye vat.

At this moment, she was trembling as she faced a Skeleton Swordsman with a dagger in her hand. She was barely able to stay steady on her feet due to the pain she was in.

The Skeleton Swordsman rushed forward.

She gritted her teeth and let herself fall to the ground. She went under the Skeleton Swordsman’s crotch, then quickly got up using both her hands and feet. After that, she jumped onto the Skeleton Swordsman’s back and wrapped a hand around its neck.

Then, she fiercely jabbed the dagger in her right hand into its eye socket.
