Zhou Heng didn't speak; instead, he bent his bow and nocked an arrow, responding with action.

The girl's expression remained unchanged, still maintaining a condescending posture.

She glanced sideways at Zhou Heng, suddenly letting out a soft laugh. In the next second, she lunged forward, one hand on the bow, the other swiftly drawing an arrow from the quiver on her back.

Then, in one fluid motion, she drew the bow, nocked the arrow, and shot, as if it were second nature.

At the moment the girl moved, Zhou Heng also drew the Great Sun Divine Bow (Replica) to its fullest and shot an arrow at her.

But in that instant, the girl's figure flickered, both arrows were released, and Zhou Heng was hit by her arrow, while his missed its target.

-23!

The damage of 23 flashed across Zhou Heng's shoulder, a result of him dodging to avoid a critical hit.

As soon as the damage appeared, Zhou Heng rolled backward, trying to distance himself from the vanishing girl.

But just as he completed his roll, he felt a strong gust from behind, full of oppressive force.

Zhou Heng grunted, swinging the Great Sun Divine Bow (Replica) backward with force.

-17!

Accompanied by the damage emerging from his arm, Zhou Heng's arm was knocked aside, followed by the girl's lightning-fast sweeping kick.

-20!

-20!

In just a moment, Zhou Heng's health was nearly depleted. His full 100 health points were nothing in front of a new player from the Longevity Family.

Only at this moment did Zhou Heng understand why so many feared the Longevity Family.

Though they were all new players, the difference in skill was terrifying.

He had been a top student in school, excelling in every subject and winning scholarships with ease.

Yet, such prowess was like an eagle toying with a chick in front of a new player from the Longevity Family, effortlessly and leisurely.

But...

As the girl's third roundhouse kick was about to land on Zhou Heng, he took a deep breath and activated the skill "Burning Fury."

Boom!

Fierce flames erupted from Zhou Heng's body. In the next second, his attack speed increased by 1.0/s, movement speed by 2.0m/s, and attack by 5.

With an attack speed of 2.0/s and movement speed of 3.2m/s, Zhou Heng couldn't believe he couldn't defeat a newly logged-in Longevity Family player.

Even if the opponent had possibly found other resources deployed by the Longevity Family, they couldn't have learned a skill like Burning Fury so quickly.

If they had, then Zhou Heng would admit defeat today!

With the increase in speed and attack rate, the girl's attack speed was no longer elusive, approximately 1.8/s, with a movement speed around 2.0m/s.

Relying on these far superior base attributes, Longevity Family players could indeed suppress other players easily upon logging in.

But against the current Zhou Heng, it was no longer enough.

"Hmph~"

Zhou Heng grunted, kicking the girl's foot, then lunged forward at an unexpected speed, pressing the Great Sun Divine Bow (Replica) against her face.

A flash of surprise and doubt crossed the girl's eyes, and she said, "How do you know Burning Fury? This skill isn't recorded in textbooks; it's part of the Secret of Longevity. How did you do it?"

"Even with a weapon like the Great Sun Divine Bow (Replica) pressed against your face, you remain unfazed? The Longevity Family's training in willpower is indeed extraordinary!" A fierce glint flashed in Zhou Heng's eyes as he thought to himself, and without hesitation, he bent the bow and shot an arrow.

-100!

A standard hundred damage appeared on the girl's head.

The moment the damage was dealt, a phantom Revival Coin floated above her head, one of the revival opportunities gifted to each new player in the Infinite Expanse. Clearly, his attack had killed her instantly.

However, this girl was indeed formidable.

His damage should have been 108, yet the headshot only dealt 100 points of physical damage.

This meant the Longevity Family player before him had armor of at least 8 points.

The girl glanced at the floating Revival Coin, then at Zhou Heng, her eyes showing no change.

Players like Zhou Heng were not uncommon in the Longevity Family's records. They always thought they had a decent talent or start, believing they could suppress the Longevity Family and reshuffle the vast Infinite Expanse player system.

But the truth was, as they developed, they would despairingly find that the Longevity Family was the true king of the Infinite Expanse player system. Even the national systems of Blue Star's countries had to bow before them.

To the girl, Zhou Heng was just an amusing toy, waiting for her to play with.

As she turned into light, about to disappear back to the city, she suddenly sensed something, her expression changing slightly as she looked at the item dropped at her feet. Just as she was about to speak, her body completely turned into white light, vanishing on the Wind Prairie.

The girl's expression changed slightly, and the keen Zhou Heng, with his two lifetimes of experience, noticed it. He approached the spot where the girl had died and returned to the city, finding a curled-up scroll lying on the green grass. When a player is killed, if they have a Revival Coin, they will randomly drop 1%-10% of their resources; without a Revival Coin, they drop all resources.

From the girl's sudden change in expression, combined with the earlier "Fate Hint," Zhou Heng easily guessed that this scroll was the "Ultra-Long-Range Archer," a profession that paired with the Great Sun Divine Bow (Replica).

Thinking this, Zhou Heng unrolled the scroll, and lines of text appeared before his eyes...

Ultra-Long-Range Archer (Job Change Scroll)

Star Level: ☆☆

In the once-destroyed Sakasite Empire, archers were renowned for their ultra-long-range shooting skills.

Combining the ancient power of bows and the might of technology, they created a new profession: "Ultra-Long-Range Archer."

Attribute Growth +100%

Additional Attribute Growth +50%

Ultra-Long-Range Vision: Your vision can extend up to 10 kilometers in unobstructed conditions.

Ultra-Long-Range Shot: Your arrow attack range increases from 500 meters to 10 kilometers.

Ultra-Long-Range Tracking: When you lock onto an enemy, your attacks will permanently track them within shooting range.

Blood Pump: Within 1 second, you can temporarily convert all attributes into attack/magic; afterward, enter a 30-second weakened state (all attributes reduced to 1).

Job Change Requirement: Possess a level 10 named bow (fulfilled).

Each star level increases base attributes by 50%, meaning if you randomly gain 1 point of attack upon leveling up, a one-star profession will increase it by 50%, or 0.5 attributes.

The highest initial star level recorded in textbooks is 3-Star, with a 150% additional attribute increase.

Professions like Ultra-Long-Range Archer, which can further enhance attributes, are considered rare and extremely uncommon.

Even Zhou Heng had to admit, this profession was incredibly powerful, not only with two attribute growths but also with a formidable skill set. Such a profession could indeed allow him to advance rapidly. With this in mind, he opened the "Ultra-Long-Range Archer" job change scroll without hesitation, choosing to change professions. Hesitating even for a second would be disrespectful to this profession.
