Chapter 40 Archer; So it turns out your name contains the character for "east wind" .
As for why not summon a heroic spirit that "knows everything about the Soul Master"?
The reason is simple. The summoning of Heroic Spirits must follow the historical and legendary trajectory of the Douluo Continent. Although it is possible to summon counterparts from parallel universes, these individuals cannot be fabricated out of thin air.
If he really follows the legends of Douluo Continent and summons someone who "knows everything about Soul Masters," and that person harbors resentment towards Tang San for not being taken to the God Realm...
"This is a ten-year-old bamboo, its defining characteristic is its resilience..."
Ye Chenxing quickly shook his head, clearing his mind of all the random thoughts. If he were to actually summon that "theoretically invincible" crew-cut guy, he'd probably have a stroke and faint on the spot.
After calming himself down, he took a deep breath, and the secret room returned to deathly silence.
Then, Ye Chenxing recited the ancient incantation he used to summon Qian Renxue once again.
With the frenzied infusion of soul power, the summoning circle on the ground suddenly burst forth with dazzling light. The intricate array patterns flowed and intertwined like living things, and the enormous energy fluctuations shook the entire underground chamber, causing it to hum and vibrate. A pillar of light shot into the sky, and the wind made Ye Chenxing's clothes flutter wildly.
Ye Chenxing stared intently at the center of the beam of light, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Could it be a Caster? If it comes with a skill like "Item Crafting" or "Territory Creation," this would be a huge win!
As the light slowly faded, a tall figure appeared in the center of the formation.
The newcomer was a middle-aged man. He was tall and robust, handsome, with a high nose. His sharp eyes seemed to see right through people, and he exuded a strong sense of intimidation. Every gesture he made carried the commanding presence of someone who had long held a position of power.
Ye Chenxing's heart couldn't help but pound. In his imagination, even if the summoned Soul Master didn't look like a fanatical scholar with thick-rimmed glasses, he shouldn't have this kind of aura. This temperament didn't seem like someone who was engaged in logistics research; it was clearly a powerful and ruthless tyrant.
The middle-aged man looked down at his hands, his fingers loosely clenching as if sensing the power of the body. Then, he glanced around before his sharp gaze finally settled on Ye Chenxing.
He stepped forward and knelt on one knee:
"Servant, Archer, pay homage to Master."
Hmm, not bad. His loyalty seems good; he's not the kind of troublemaker who would rebel.
Ye Chenxing nodded to himself, but the next second, his smile froze on his face.
and many more?
"What class did you just say you were?"
"Master, I am a Heroic Spirit present in the world as an Archer."
Ye Chenxing gasped.
How could this be? How could it be Archer?
I need a support character, what do you mean by giving me a damage dealer instead?
But what's done is done, and the summoned spirits can't apply for a refund for minors. Ye Chenxing could only desperately try to comfort herself.
Well, at least the Archer class comes with the passive skill "Act Alone," which allows them to recover some of their soul power, so that's an advantage.
Ye Chenxing cleared her throat, suppressing the urge to complain: "Get up, Archer. Then, tell me your identity."
The man rose as instructed, his expression still respectful: "Master, I do not have a specific historical identity. I am an existence derived from the concept of 'Soul Master' itself."
? !
Oh!
Ye Chenxing was greatly shocked. His plan had suddenly succeeded; he had initially thought that summoning Archer was a failure, but it had worked on Archer! It seemed his idea of using the entire Sun Moon Empire as a medium was entirely correct.
But... if it's the embodiment of the Soul Guidance concept, why is it an Archer?
He looked the man up and down and continued to ask, "So, you're a completely fictional character? But your appearance doesn't seem like that of a pure Soul Master, scholar, or researcher at all. Instead, you seem like someone in a high position."
Archer nodded and replied respectfully, "You are indeed discerning. Although I have no name and am merely a concept, the body I possessed when summoned has its own identity."
"Oh?" Ye Chenxing raised an eyebrow. When he was learning in the small classroom of Einzbern, he seemed to remember that there was indeed a summoning method called "possession".
He couldn't help but become even more curious about the other person's identity.
Tell me about it.
Archer calmly stated, "The body I am using is named... Eternal East Wind."
?
Who?
The eternal east wind?!
Ye Chenxing's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
How could it be him?! Why him?!
Isn't that the master of the Spirit Pagoda ten thousand years from now?
When did heroic spirits become able to summon people from the future? Wasn't it supposed to be that only heroes who have left their mark on history could be summoned?
Ye Chenxing frowned and began to carefully search his memory for the magic lessons he had learned at the Einzbern family in his previous life.
Did the teacher mention that? I think they did briefly mention it—that the Throne of Heroes transcends the timeline, and people from the future can…
Forget it, that's not important at all! The problem is: this guy's martial soul is clearly a coiled dragon staff! What does a powerful offensive soul master wielding a staff for close-quarters combat have to do with soul tools?!
As a Dragon Staff Soul Master, I can tolerate you being born as a Lancer; as the future supreme ruler of the Spirit Tower, I can also accept that you are summoned as a Rider.
But you just happen to be an Archer!
What makes you Archer? It can't be because your name contains the character for "east wind," can it?
Ye Chenxing took a deep breath, suppressing the absurdity in his heart, and asked, "So, Archer, what exactly is your 'bow'? And what legend led you to be chosen as an archer?"
"Master, I do not possess a bow in the strict sense," Archer replied respectfully, "but I am able to descend to earth as an Archer because I have left an indelible mark on the continent in the art of archery."
"……shoot?"
Archer nodded, calmly recounting that horrific history, or rather, the future that was supposed to happen:
"I have... or rather, I will use countless level 7 to 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, plus two god-killing level fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, to completely flatten Shrek Academy and Tang Sect headquarters."
"..."
Ye Chenxing was dumbfounded. So it really was because your name contained the character for "east wind"?
Good heavens, so this was what they were waiting for me!
Upon closer reflection, this feat... is indeed more like that of a qualified archer than any other archer or cannonball user.
In terms of launch capability, Light Feather Douluo? Can a Super Douluo's output compare to a level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannon? Are you kidding me?
When it comes to opposing the Tang Dynasty, the real vanguard of the anti-Tang movement is to uproot Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect in one fell swoop!
If this guy isn't Archer, then who is?
Ye Chenxing swallowed hard, his eyes shining: "So, if you're called an archer because of this legend..."
"So your ability is... to reproduce a god-slaying fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell?"
