Han Lingzhi's gaze sharpened.
The next second.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow tore through the air.
It actually passed straight through the protective shield!

Their figures rapidly turned insubstantial, then dissolved into countless motes of light as their consciousnesses returned to their own Divine Kingdom.
After all, this was only the Divine Kingdom Simulation Battle Arena.
Whether Yang Fan's followers or Han Lingzhi's artificial lifeforms, all that had manifested here were combat projections within the Virtual World.
Even dying in battle would cause no losses among the Divine Kingdoms' followers.
"Analyzing race."
"Confirmed: elven warriors."
"Specialize in ranged archery. Attack power comparable to the Core Formation Realm."
"Detected: arrows equipped with energy-piercing gear produced by the Mechanical Divine Kingdom."
"Current protective shield upgraded to advanced!"
As the mechanical voice finished speaking.
The once pale-blue protective shield abruptly deepened in color, its surface even taking on a thick sheen of energy.
**Whoosh,
