One Arrow Ranger!

"The Great Calamity Player, your damage is too terrifying. If we don't turn on Balance Mode, there's no way to fight."

In the familiar temple ruins, Battle Dragon cupped his fists at Chen Ming, the fighting spirit in his eyes still surging.

Chen Ming waved his hand, not saying much, and simply said calmly, "Let's begin!"

The moment his voice fell, the ten-second countdown ended.

"Boom, boom!!" Battle Dragon charged out abruptly, his terrifying strength leaving a huge crater in his place.

Perhaps he had listened to Chen Ming's advice from the previous round.

This time, Battle Dragon didn't use any fancy S-shaped movement; instead, he charged straight towards Chen Ming.

His class was the Warrior-type [Saint Heaven Fist Master].

This was a very powerful hidden class, proficient in various combat skills with invincible melee capabilities.

Battle Dragon was confident that under [Balance Mode], as long as he had the chance to get close, he would definitely be able to easily crush his opponent.

But in the next moment, a familiar sense of crisis welled up in his heart. Battle Dragon subconsciously paused, then looked up to see a barrage of arrows like a rainstorm, sealing off all his forward paths.

If he rushed forward recklessly, he would instantly be shot into a sieve.

"This attack speed... is ridiculous!"

Battle Dragon subconsciously retreated, waves rising in his heart.

Under [Balance Mode], although Chen Ming's attributes were suppressed to the same level as Battle Dragon's, his attack speed, boosted by various equipment and items, remained terrifying. Coupled with the splitting effect of his title [I Have Arrived to Form the Arm], Chen Ming could easily fire dozens of arrows every second.

"Monster!"

Battle Dragon muttered inwardly, quickly increasing the distance while searching for another opportunity to advance.

But just then, he saw Chen Ming pull the [Shore of the Other Side] in his hand again.

"Swish, swish, swish!!"

As the bowstring vibrated, arrows flew out like a sudden rainstorm, each one precisely guided, pointing straight at Battle Dragon's brow.

Facing this storm-like attack, Battle Dragon could only flee in panic, having no means of resistance at all.

But soon, a terrifying thing happened.

He saw that the arrows Chen Ming fired, after missing him, did not fall, but instead, as if equipped with trackers, curved and continued to fly toward him.

"What the..."

Battle Dragon was stunned.

The fired arrows had a tracking function; how was he supposed to play against that?

"I have to risk it."

In the critical moment, Battle Dragon took a deep breath.

He knew that if he continued to be worn down like this, the only outcome would be defeat.

To win, he had to tank the arrows and fight back.

With that thought, Battle Dragon gritted his teeth and charged at Chen Ming.

Dense arrows flew toward him; Battle Dragon ignored them, but the next moment, as the arrows landed on him, a series of damage numbers slowly floated above his head.

- 3.774 million points.

- 3000 points (true damage).

- 6500 points (true damage).

...

Under this terrifying damage, Battle Dragon was instantly killed before he could even react, not even having a few health bars left to lose.

...

"Lost again!"

"This damage... is just too ridiculous."

In the Duel Arena lounge, Battle Dragon stood dazed on the spot, his eyes full of disbelief.

He had thought his previous two losses were due to attributes.

But now it was proven that he had overthought it.

Even in a battle with equal attributes, he was still destined to be crushed.

The two sides were simply not on the same level.

"Hiss, hiss~"

Thinking of this, Battle Dragon couldn't help but gasp. The intense fighting spirit burning in his dark golden vertical pupils dimmed at this moment.

Unbeatable, unstoppable!

The feeling Chen Ming gave him now was like a sacred mountain towering into the sky.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cross it.

The gap between them was too large, even causing him to feel a sense of powerlessness.

"No, I can't give up."

"Failure isn't scary; giving up is shameful."

Battle Dragon encouraged himself and glanced at the remaining gold coins on him.

There were still 1.2 billion.

"Continue!"

Gritting his teeth, Battle Dragon challenged Chen Ming to another duel.

...

Time passed slowly.

Half an hour later.

In the Duel Arena lounge, Battle Dragon, now penniless, resurrected from death with an excited expression.

"Almost, almost!"

"Just a little bit more."

"I could have touched the corner of his clothes."

In the final battle, Battle Dragon had charged to within one meter of Chen Ming before being instantly killed.

Although he still failed, it allowed him to see hope.

"The Great Calamity Player, add me as a friend, wait for me to go home and get money."

"Continue tomorrow!"

After leaving a message for Chen Ming, Battle Dragon decisively logged off to go find the old folks at home and extract more gold coins.

On the other side in the lounge, Chen Ming looked at the 1.5 billion gold coins he had obtained, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Awesome!

Earning 1.5 billion gold coins for no reason, he was in quite a pleasant mood.

"It's necessary to go easier on him next time."

Chen Ming muttered to himself.

In the subsequent battles, Chen Ming had more or less gone easy on him, giving Battle Dragon the feeling that he was about to succeed.

After all, such a money-delivering boy was rare and had to be maintained.

If he went all out and completely broke his spirit, it would be counterproductive.

"Next, keep pushing for rank."

As he spoke, Chen Ming continued to duel.

...

The next morning.

When Chen Ming exited the Duel Arena, his rank had reached an astonishing Emerald Tier 1.

In one night, he had directly increased by one major tier.

Moreover, during this night, Chen Ming, all by himself, achieved 64 consecutive victories, and his Duel Arena ranking reached 6.52 million.

It stunned many players, and many were curious about where his limit was.

Furthermore, after his 50th consecutive win, the matches he participated in were almost always packed, and he earned the nickname — The One-Arrow Ranger.

This was because in all his battles, Chen Ming always killed his enemies with a single arrow and never fired a second one.

...

Inside the Insect Nest.

Chen Ming stretched; the night of dueling not only didn't drain his energy but made him feel exceptionally energetic.

"At this rate, it probably won't take long to raise my Duel Arena rank to diamond."

"When that time comes, I'll complete the supreme quest first."

Muttering softly, after having a simple breakfast in the Insect Nest, Chen Ming took the Ice Abyss Dragon and his group of pets/summons and flew toward the depths of the Abyssal Forest, beginning a new day of grinding monsters and leveling up.

...

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening again.

Inside the Duel Arena.

"The One-Arrow Ranger, The One-Arrow Ranger!"

"Good luck, Big Boss, I bet 2 million gold coins on you to win, you absolutely cannot lose."

"The Great Calamity Player, I stole my grandma's pension money, you must win."

"Big Boss, I'm your idol, no, I'm your fan, can you add me as a friend?"

As soon as Chen Ming appeared, the surrounding audience erupted into enthusiastic cheers.

And opposite Chen Ming, a young girl wearing a bright red trench coat looked at Chen Ming's familiar face, and she fell directly into a daze.
