When he returned to the hotel late at night, Daren kept talking to himself, as if he was a little crazy.

His body was blue and purple, and his nose and eyes were not spared. He didn't seem to have played ten games a day, but he was as dusty as if he had participated in thirty or fifty games.

Enid seemed not surprised to see his appearance. She smiled without saying a word and quietly ran to apply potions to the bruised area. The healing potion she adjusted herself has always been effective, and she will recover as well as the next day after sleeping.

Daren is crazy because the old man said tonight a bit subverted his long-standing understanding of [Skills]!

Adventurers had been in the Fourth Era, but the skilled stars were the product of nearly three hundred years, greatly changing the pattern of adventurers... The four legends jointly created four standard marks of light, which was equivalent to leaving four proven feasible roads that can be practiced to the legendary level, so that future generations no longer have to fumble hard on their own, and can easily become stronger by inscribed stars.

The stars contain information on how to operate the power. Adventurers only need to activate the stars, and the power will automatically operate to produce magical skill effects. Whether it is the magic power of a magician, the priest's holy power, the warrior's fighting energy, or the mental power of the archer, you can use the stars to record the tricks of operating the power. As long as future generations replicate the stars, they will get the tricks. Combined with their own adaptation for a while, they can master it perfectly.

Daren has always been told how great this initiative is, because it lowered the threshold for becoming stronger and passed on the crystallization of wisdom of its predecessors in clever ways... It gave birth to countless middle and low-level adventurers, allowing humans to gradually gain the upper hand in the war against monsters. The monsters were driven to remote places in the wild, and people lived a relatively peaceful life for three hundred years.

However, when it came to the mouth of the strange old man, [Skill Star] seemed to have become a burden?

"Stars are dead, people live! I don't like the guy who can only copy the same thing after engraving a few stars..."

"Ordinary people can control muscle strength as they please after training, and warriors should be able to control their own combat energy as they please! There is no essential difference between strength and combat energy..."

These are the old man's original words, and what Delan talks to himself tonight.

So, is it the right way to put the wisdom of our predecessors into learning, not to study the skills of using power like those adventurers in the Fourth Era?

However, until the back of the head was stained with a pillow, fatigue came and fell asleep, Delan didn't think of anything.

The next day, the first phase of the competition continued.

It is already the fifth day. After today's competition, it means that everyone has fought with at least half of the players in this competition area.

But today, Daren finally got the player who made him extremely curious - the mysterious archer Gene, the first in the Eastern Conference points ranking list!

When the two met in a separate duel space separated by a sand wall, Daren saw only a guy armed to his teeth.

For archers, the most suitable one for wearing light armor is generally not to affect movement, but the other party has a complete set of silver-brilliant armor, even a mask. The armor is designed reasonably, and the joints do not affect movement. It looks very light and has a large number of runes engraved. It is obviously made by a famous craftsman.

But Delen didn't know that Gene's equipment was prepared by the Lord of Giant Mole City Marchesno.

Out of guilt for Glen, the city lord was not stingy with his disciples whom he valued the most. He asked the best blacksmiths and rune masters in the city to tailor various equipment for Gene. Except for Gene's own Thunderbolt pine bow that did not need to be strengthened, Marchesno changed all of Gene's outfits, so that the red-haired boy's equipment was not inferior to any noble child! If it weren't for the Halde family, as the organizer, would never recommend anyone to participate, and Marchesno even wanted to write a recommendation letter in person!

Before the competition, he also gave Gene a lot of advice. As the organizer, of course he knew many deep skills about the competition. At the same time, the city lord also reminded Gene countless times that he must work hard to win the first place reward! It is the mysterious grand prize, its value is far inferior to other prizes.

But in fact, Gene doesn't need his advice... The red-haired boy who has heard Ge Lan's last words has long been determined to win the first place.

Glen's last wish is to let Gene take his life fruit to the elf kingdom, let his soul rest at the foot of the tree of life, and also hope that Gene can fulfill his life's expectations - proving that the human race is not inferior to the elves! The way to prove is to let Gene, a pure human archer, overwhelm all the younger generations of the elf race.

In order to give Gene enough motivation, Glen even threw out a temptation that the red-haired boy could never refuse:

The current elf king Elbert is about to reach the limit of his life, and the next elf king will be selected soon. If Gene can defeat all young elves with his longbow, plus Gelen's soul guarantee, he may even become the elf crown prince!

After Elbert's death, the Elf Crown Prince will become the new master of the Elf Kingdom!

This temptation almost knocked the red-haired boy's head. It was the legendary elves country, and he never surrendered to the Karl Kingdom at its heyday! A powerful and mysterious country, a group of noble and transcendent races, and he actually had the opportunity to become their king.

This reason is enough for Gene to work hard to win the first place, not to mention the reward for the first place...it is also very attractive.

So Gene doesn't allow himself to lose. He has won 40 consecutive games and will eventually qualify from the Eastern Conference with a 100 consecutive game wins, and then defeat all other competitors in the quarterfinals to win the first place!

Back on the arena.

The moment he saw Deren, the red-haired boy was completely stunned.

He shook his body, and suddenly pulled the cover down and screamed in surprise at the brunette boy holding a big shield: "Dalen? Goddess is here, is it really you?"

Daren also suddenly showed an excited look: "Jen?! It's really you!"

Since the defensive battle in Door Village, Gene was captured by the Tree Fairy Queen, the two have never met each other again. No one expected that they would meet again under such circumstances!

Gene is the first in the Eastern Conference standings, so there are naturally many people paying attention to them in this game.

So under the astonished gaze of a large number of spectators on the east stands, the two contestants rushed towards each other and hugged each other heavily! Their respective sandman teammates seemed to have turned into wood carvings and remained motionless, and the game seemed to have stopped. A whispering sound rang out in the east stands, and people guessed what the two contestants had, and those who finally grabbed the Gene lottery ticket began to secretly worry that the strong dark horse player's winning streak would not end due to non-strength factors, right?

Fortunately, with the referee's reminder, the two finally remembered that this was a game.

"Dalen, let's reminisce about the past six months after the competition today! I want to know everything about the past six months!" Gene's eyes lit up.

"No problem!" Deren also laughed, "I haven't seen you for half a year. You seem to have become better than me, but I won't give in easily, I have to fight before I know."

"I have too much advantage." Gene thought for a while, then suddenly shook his head and began to take off his armor, wearing only the white lining inside. "Don't worry, I won't let Grucien help in this battle, nor do I need equipment to bully people. We will compete fairly as before... But even so..." The red-haired boy said, and suddenly showed a smug smile and stared at Deren's eyes.

"You're still sure to lose."
