Arcbond states that the creature deals damage to each other creature and each player. If you use Soulfire Grand Master to return Arcbond to your hand, then cast Arcbond again on another creature, you'll set up a chain that loops if one of those two targeted creatures takes damage.

The chain will also deal damage to you. If the creatures don't have indestructible, one of them will eventually die (unless either player loses the game first).

Importantly, Soulfire Grand Master doesn't convey lifelink to the creatures. Since the creatures are the source of the damage, you won't gain any life from the triggered abilities unless the creatures have lifelink on their own.

So pretty much the combo would work with like lets say 2 Seeker of the Way Seeing that theyre prowess gives them Lifelink and then some how give them Indestructible . Then the combo would work correct?

Yes. As long as you don't die, it's fine. There are three other options.

One of your creatures dies and the loop ends.

Your opponent dies and you win.

Nothing dies and nobody dies and the game is a draw. (Your opponent might have something like Angel's Grace.)

Ask unrelated questions in new threads. We don't mind new threads.

Casting a spell "without paying its mana cost" follows the rules for casting that spell for an alternate cost. You don't get off the hook when it comes to additional costs or increased costs. Strive is an additional cost. You can choose to declare additional targets, but you'll have to pay the strive cost for each of them.
