22: Chapter 22 Five-Star Talent, Goblin Arrow King

Fang Chuan stared fixedly at the Goblin Arrow King before him who called himself "Momi," his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"The hell is this called four-star? System, you call this four-star?!"

He was not someone who had never seen the world; he had already seen the attribute panel of the Five-star Believer Saint Fara. Although the Momi before him could not compare to that war fortress Fara in terms of basic Constitution and Strength, the other attributes, especially Speed, were ridiculously high!

Nine thousand eight hundred points!

What kind of concept was this?

Fara's Speed attribute was only over three thousand points; this Goblin Arrow King's Speed was more than three times that of Fara!

If they were to fight, wouldn't that mean Fara wouldn't be able to touch him at all?

And there was that Combat Power, seventy-five thousand!

Fang Chuan remembered clearly that the Three-Star Warlord Oge had a Combat Power of four hundred and fifty, and the one thousand Four-Star Goblin Tyrants he had just synthesized had a Combat Power of fifteen thousand.

These were both four-star, so why was the Combat Power gap so large? One was fifteen thousand, the other seventy-five thousand—it had directly increased fivefold!

"System, did you make a mistake? Is this really a four-star talent?" Fang Chuan couldn't help but ask in his heart.

[Ding! System detection is correct. Follower talent ratings are influenced by various factors, including racial potential, class characteristics, skill strength, etc. The Goblin Arrow King belongs to a rare elite class with high burst and high agility; its Combat Power calculation weighting favors Speed and skill damage, hence the higher Combat Power.]

The system's explanation was very official, but Fang Chuan understood.

It meant that the Goblin Tyrant was a heavy tank—high health and high defense, but cumbersome.

While this Goblin Arrow King was an assassin, an ADC, taking the path of extreme damage output and agility.

The positioning of the two was different, so the method of calculating Combat Power was also different.

"So that's how it is..." Fang Chuan realized.

He then turned his gaze to Momi's exclusive skills.

Heart-Piercing Arrows: The Arrow King has achieved extremely high mastery in archery, reaching the superb realm of "no arrow is better than an arrow." With a single thought, ten thousand arrows are born, dealing group damage equal to Strength * 10!

Explosive Arrow Technique: Arrows shot by the Arrow King explode upon hitting the target, dealing 90% splash damage to five surrounding enemy units. If a splashed unit dies, the effect continues to the next splashed unit!

"Holy crap!"

Fang Chuan cursed in his heart.

These skills were too overpowered!

Heart-Piercing Arrows, group damage equal to Strength times ten! Momi's Strength was six thousand two hundred points, times ten, that was sixty-two thousand group damage!

With one use of this skill, wouldn't it be able to instantly clear out a soccer field?

And this was just the level 1 attribute; if the level went up, the damage would be unimaginable!

Even more outrageous was the second skill, Explosive Arrow Technique.

Wasn't this just a chain lightning that bounces infinitely? As long as it could kill one, it could keep splashing. If this were thrown into the enemy's mob pile, that scene...

Fang Chuan felt his scalp tingle just thinking about it.

Where was this a goblin? This was clearly a humanoid walking artillery piece wearing goblin skin!

"Ahem, get up, Momi."

Fang Chuan gathered his thoughts, using divine power to condense a soft light that lifted him up.

"From today on, you are the commander of my Sharpshooter legion," Fang Chuan appointed directly.

"As you command, my God!" Momi bowed with his hand on his chest, his movements crisp and neat.

A Four-Star Arrow King was not enough to satisfy Fang Chuan.

What he wanted to know most now was, how strong would a five-star archer be?

Fara was a melee Five-star Believer, so what kind of existence would a ranged five-star be?

Fang Chuan's heart was burning with anticipation.

He currently had four hundred and fifty Three-Star Eagle-Eyed Archers on hand; subtracting the three used to synthesize Momi just now, four hundred and forty-seven remained.

"Synthesize!"

Fang Chuan moved his thoughts.

In front of the marksmans nest, golden light shone beneath the feet of six Three-Star Eagle-Eyed Archers.

The light flickered, and two Goblin Arrow Kings, identical to Momi, appeared before Fang Chuan.

"Praise my God!"

The two newly born Arrow Kings knelt on one knee in unison.

He now possessed three Four-Star Goblin Arrow Kings!

"Now is the time!"

"Give me... synthesize!"

"Boom—!"

An unprecedented loud noise exploded within Fang Chuan's Divine Kingdom.

This time, it was no longer an ordinary golden beam of light.

Instead, it was a massive tornado interwoven with seven-colored divine light, descending from the sky and piercing through the entire heaven and earth of the Divine Kingdom!

A terrifying energy storm, centered on the altar, swept madly in all directions.

The entire Divine Kingdom was shaking violently, as if welcoming the arrival of a supreme monarch.

"My God!"

Fara's massive golden body stood in front of all the goblins, using its own body to forcefully block the impact of the energy storm.

Even with its combat power of four hundred and eighty thousand, it was blown back repeatedly at this moment, a solemn expression appearing on its face.

This power... was too terrifying!

It was even greater than the commotion caused when it originally ascended to a five-star talent!

What kind of terrifying existence had my God created again?

Fara's heart was filled with awe and fanaticism.

The seven-colored divine light tornado lasted for nearly a full minute before slowly dissipating.

When the light completely vanished, a figure was floating quietly in mid-air.

It was a figure that looked similar in size to an ordinary goblin, standing no more than 1.2 meters tall.

But on his body, he wore a gorgeous suit of armor woven from countless tiny golden scales, and at every joint of the armor, energy gems emitting a faint light were embedded.

Behind him, there was no bow, nor were there any arrows.

There was only a pair of huge and gorgeous wings, condensed from pure light energy, slowly flapping.

With every flap, countless specks of light scattered from the wings, like fireflies on a summer night, beautiful and magnificent.

On his face, he wore a mask crafted from gold, which covered the upper half of his face, revealing only a sharply defined chin and a pair of thin lips.

His aura was restrained to the extreme.

There was no brutality of the Goblin Tyrant, nor the sharpness of the Goblin Arrow King.

He just floated there quietly, yet seemed to be the center of the entire world, the source of all light.

Fang Chuan felt a powerful sense of oppression rushing toward him just by looking at him.

He immediately pulled up the other party's attribute panel.

[Race]: Goblin Arrow Emperor

[Level]: 1

[Talent]: Five-Star

[Constitution]: 12000

[Strength]: 55000

[Intelligence]: 19000

[Speed]: 45000

[Combat Power]: 425000

[Faith Level]: Saint

[Exclusive Skills]:

[Arrow of Divine Punishment]: The Arrow Emperor condenses divine power to fire an arrow of judgment that ignores all physical and magical defenses, dealing (Strength + Intelligence) * 50 true damage to a single target. This skill has a locking effect and cannot be dodged.

[Domain of Arrows]: Passive skill. Within a five-kilometer radius around the Arrow Emperor, the attack speed of all friendly ranged units is increased by 50%, range is increased by 50%, and there is a 20% chance to trigger 'Multi-Shot'.

[Rebirth of Light Feathers]: Passive skill. When the Arrow Emperor suffers fatal damage, he will automatically decompose into countless light feathers and be reborn at any location in the Divine Kingdom. After rebirth, all statuses are restored to their peak. This skill can be triggered once every seven Divine Kingdom days.

[Faith Output]: 200 points/day

"Hiss..."

Fang Chuan looked at this ridiculously high attribute panel, his heartbeat thundering in his ears like a drum, his breathing involuntarily becoming heavier.

425000 points of Combat Power!

Although it was still a bit lower than Fara's four hundred and eighty thousand, this was just a level 1 attribute!

Looking at those three skills again, Fang Chuan couldn't help but exclaim that they were truly more overpowered than the last!

Arrow of Divine Punishment!

True damage! Locking! Cannot be dodged!

This was simply the ultimate single-target skill born for instant-killing bosses!

Six hundred and forty thousand! A full six hundred and forty thousand true damage!

Fang Chuan dared to be certain that at the current stage, apart from a tank like Fara, no unit could take this arrow head-on!

The second skill, Domain of Arrows.

A super powerful aura skill!

A five-kilometer range, 50% attack speed and range bonus, and 20% Multi-Shot!

If the Arrow Emperor were placed into the Sharpshooter legion, the entire legion's output capability would at least increase two or threefold!

This was no longer one person fighting; this was a mobile war amplifier!

And what made Fang Chuan feel most outrageous was the third skill.

Rebirth of Light Feathers!

When suffering fatal damage, resurrection with full health!

Doesn't this mean having an extra life?

And it was a resurrection armor that refreshed every seven days!

"Too strong... really too strong..."

Fang Chuan muttered to himself.

He placed the attributes of the Goblin Arrow Emperor and Fara side-by-side and carefully compared them.

Fara's advantage lay in being comprehensive.

It had super high Constitution and Strength, capable of attacking and tanking.

It was an invincible existence on the front lines, a mobile war fortress, capable of taking on a legion single-handedly.

While the Arrow Emperor was more like a pure assassin and commander born for slaughter.

His frame was relatively fragile, and although he had a resurrection skill, he definitely wouldn't be a match for Fara in a head-on confrontation.

However, his burst damage and strategic value were unparalleled.

One Arrow of Divine Punishment could instantly kill the opponent's highest-value unit.

One Domain of Arrows could raise the combat power of the entire ranged legion by a notch.

"If they really fought, Fara would probably still win," Fang Chuan calculated silently in his heart.

Although the Arrow Emperor's Arrow of Divine Punishment was terrifying, it definitely wouldn't kill Fara in one shot. And as long as it didn't kill him, with Fara's recovery ability and terrifying tankiness, once closed in, the Arrow Emperor would only be beaten up.

As time passed, the scales of victory would definitely tilt toward Fara.

"However, one is a melee core and the other is a ranged core, they weren't meant for single combat anyway."

Fang Chuan quickly figured it out.

Putting the two of them in one team, the chemical reaction produced would absolutely be one plus one far greater than two!

Fara holding the line in front, the Arrow Emperor outputting crazily in the back, plus a thousand Goblin Tyrants as cannon fodder, and hundreds of Eagle-Eyed Archers providing fire suppression...

Fang Chuan felt his blood boil just thinking about that scene.

"Greetings, my God!"

Just then, the Goblin Arrow Emperor in mid-air slowly descended, removing the golden mask from his face to reveal a face that was beautiful to the point of being eerie.

His features had completely transcended the scope of a goblin, looking more like a legendary elf.

He knelt on one knee, paying the highest respect to Fang Chuan in the sky.

"I do not have a name yet, I implore my God to bestow one upon me!"

His voice was cold and pleasant, like jade striking jade.

Fang Chuan looked at him and pondered for a moment.

"From now on, you shall be called... Yi."

"Yi?"

The Arrow Emperor raised his head, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, the hero from mythology who shot down the suns," Fang Chuan explained.

"Yi... Thank you, my God, for the name!"

The Arrow Emperor, named Yi, lowered his head deeply once again.

With Fara and Yi, these two Five-Star cores—one melee and one ranged—Fang Chuan felt his spine straighten instantly.

"Huangfu Family? A family of gods?"

"Just wait, once I finish farming the Temple of Fortune, I will go to Yanjing to meet you all!"

Cold and dangerous light flickered in Fang Chuan's eyes.

However, the top priority was still to continue expanding military armaments.

Although a Five-Star Arrow Emperor was strong, he was only one person after all.

What he needed was an army!

An invincible army composed of high-star elites!

"As for the remaining Eagle-Eyed Archers..." Fang Chuan glanced at the more than four hundred remaining Three-Star archers.

"Synthesize 50 more Arrow Kings!"

Fang Chuan waved his hand and made the decision.

A Four-Star Arrow King required three Three-Star Eagle-Eyed Archers.

Fifty of them meant one hundred and fifty Three-Star Eagle-Eyed Archers.

The number of Three-Star Eagle-Eyed Archers he had on hand was more than enough.

Although this would significantly reduce the number of Three-Star Eagle-Eyed Archers, what he would gain in exchange were fifty top-tier combat units with combat power as high as seventy-five thousand!

This deal was a massive profit no matter how one calculated it!

Furthermore, with more than fifty Four-Star Arrow Kings, under the bonus of the Five-Star Arrow Emperor Yi's "Domain of Arrows," that output...

The more Fang Chuan thought about it, the more excited he became, feeling as though he wouldn't be able to sleep.

Accompanied by Fang Chuan's will, a blindingly strong light erupted above the marksmans nest.

The Yanjing Huangfu Family? The good show had only just begun!
