When Chen Tian saw the last Weapon Enhancement Card, his heart was filled with excitement!
His Chameleon Ball could finally be enhanced. He then clicked on the Weapon Enhancement Card and selected "Use."
Instantly, the Weapon Enhancement Card turned into rolling numbers, cycling from one to nine.
"Ding!"
A screen appeared before Chen Tian. His face darkened. It was a one.
This meant his Chameleon Ball could only be enhanced by one level. However, although Chen Tian was not satisfied, he accepted it.
Currently, the Chameleon Ball could only transform into blue quality weapons. But after enhancement, it would be different; it could transform into violet quality weapons.
"Ding! Congratulations to the player, Chameleon Ball's quality has been upgraded to a maximum transformation quality of Violet."
"Ding! Dragon God Twin Blades record complete. Copying attributes, abilities, and characteristics."
"Ding! Recording Dragon Scale Divine Armor attributes, abilities, and characteristics. Copying."
"Ding! Recording...!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the player, all copies are complete. Record complete, equipment being destroyed."
Chen Tian paid no mind to the panel before him. His mode was special, and the weapons he used had to be transformed by the Chameleon Ball. Furthermore, equipment that was copied and recorded would be destroyed.
Chen Tian then reviewed the characteristics and abilities of some of the equipment. After confirming everything, he clicked on the screen.
Instantly, he transformed into a beam of light and vanished from the entire imperial palace.
Floor ninety-nine. Everyone looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.
"What the hell is this guy's mode, equipment, and skills?!"
"How can he copy weapons and armor?"
"I just want to know which line of code was tampered with to create this monstrosity."
"You ask me? How would I know."
"Forget it, forget it. This guy has already become a bug in the game. Let's not bother with him."
"I feel like the bosses we designed might not even be as strong as him. He could even be a boss in this game."
"Disperse! Let's see what the head office has to say."
Following that, ten beams of light vanished, and the ten individuals left the game.
When Chen Tian reappeared, he was outside the secret room. Chen Tian had not forgotten this mission.
After all, the rewards for this mission were unknown. But it was precisely because they were unknown that Chen Tian had not forgotten.
Then, he operated the screen a few times, and time continued to flow.
A familiar interface appeared before Chen Tian, displaying: "Proceed to the next wave?"
Chen Tian looked at his attributes. All his attributes had reached the normal level of a level thirty player. He then clicked "Yes."
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Waves of shouting erupted, and the aura of a conquering army spread across the land.
A vast army appeared before Chen Tian. The entire army seemed to consist of five to six hundred people, led by three generals.
The information of the three individuals also appeared on Chen Tian's screen.

Chen Tian looked at the information of the three individuals. Good heavens, three different classes, and their attributes were all standard for level thirty players. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't even survive this wave.
In the game "Epoch of Time," classes have subdivisions. For example, the Mid-Guard Shield class includes branches like Heavy Shield, Single Shield, Dual Shield, Light Shield, and Mid-Guard Shield.
Among these, Heavy Shield and Dual Shield are primarily for defense and tanking damage, Light Shield is for hit-and-run tactics, and Mid-Guard Shield is for frontal engagement and control.
The characteristic of the Mid-Guard Shield class is that the shield is neither too heavy nor too light, allowing players to hold it with one hand while wielding a shield blade with the other.
The Mid-Guard Shield's shield conceals a shield blade. Players of the Mid-Guard Shield class can launch surprise attacks while defending.
Arcane Archer is a branch of the Archer class. The arrows they shoot are energy arrows, eliminating the need to carry physical arrows. As long as their energy value is not depleted, they can continuously fire arrows.
Furthermore, arcane arrows are divided into many types, including elemental arrows, explosive arrows, compressed arrows, and so on.
Dual Pistolier is a branch of the Gunner class. Players or NPCs of this class can dual-wield pistols, using two firearms for attack simultaneously. The advantage of the Dual Pistolier is their rapid attack speed, making them hard to guard against. Since they use dual pistols, a small advantage in reach is magnified, let alone attacking with two long guns; one careless mistake can lead to a fatal crisis.
Chen Tian felt a prickle of fear. Why were the attackers in the second wave so formidable?
Both their attributes and their class skills and characteristics were top-notch.
These attributes already surpassed most level thirty players. In the game "Epoch of Time," player attributes have a cap.
The maximum attribute at level thirty is 3500. Only by completing breakthrough quests can attribute caps be increased, or by leveling up.
However, the highest level in the first layer is only thirty, and very few have attributes exceeding 3000.
If Chen Tian hadn't triggered the Dragon Clan profession, he probably wouldn't have even broken through 1000 by now.
"Ding! Since you have chosen to fight alone, for the second wave of attack, players can choose one of two methods to clear the stage."
"Method One: Be a man and fight against the three Grand Generals and the entire army alone. Defeat them and receive double experience."
"Method Two: Duel. Engage in one-on-one combat, defeating the three Grand Generals will cause the army to disperse. Mission rewards: Upon defeating each general, you will receive a General's Soul."
Chen Tian looked at the panel before him. Only a fool would choose the first option; it was suicide.
Fighting an entire army plus three level thirty mini-bosses alone, wasn't that seeking death?
Chen Tian instantly clicked on the second option.
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for choosing the second method. Randomizing opponent."
"Ding! First opponent is Yun Lin."
"Ding! Opponent is selecting combat scene."
"Scene selection complete: Sunset Forest."
"Transitioning to scene."
With a dizzying darkness, when Chen Tian recovered, he found himself in a forest.
Dense trees appeared before Chen Tian. The trees were very tall. The sunset scene was before his eyes, and the sky was painted with beautiful colors.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Suddenly, countless azure arrows flew towards Chen Tian.
Chen Tian watched as the sky rained arrows and began to move.
Countless arrows fell like a torrential downpour. Chen Tian continuously activated his Extreme Dodge and Gale Shadow to evade the attacks.
"I was careless. I forgot that archers are best suited for such concealed terrain."
Chen Tian dodged the arrows while searching for the opponent's figure. The greatest characteristic of an archer is to utilize their long-range advantage and terrain to conceal their presence and attack from all directions.
Countless azure arrows struck the ground, creating numerous puddles, much like rainwater accumulating in potholes.
They were water-elemental arrows. Chen Tian instantly understood which element the opponent was using.
As water-elemental arrows continued to be shot from above, Chen Tian kept dodging. Numerous water puddles converged around Chen Tian, forming a pond.
Chen Tian found himself standing on the water's surface, and his feet were stuck to it as if the water were glue.
Countless fiery red arrows suddenly shot from the sky, and violent flames erupted on the water's surface.
Steam rose continuously, and Chen Tian's health began to decrease under the influence of the steam.
Chen Tian looked at the situation before him with astonishment. Wasn't this setting a bit too outrageous?
This low-level boss actually possessed self-awareness and even strategized.
First, use water-elemental arrows to form a pond and prevent Chen Tian's movement, then use fire-elemental arrows to create an energy reaction and directly deal damage.
Since Chen Tian was in the center of the pond, the steam evaporation was continuous, causing sustained damage.
However, due to the steam evaporation reaction, Chen Tian's feet could now move.
He instantly appeared outside the pond and looked at his health, which had decreased by nearly 1000.
He was nearing the yellow health threshold. Chen Tian became tense.
"I must find him. After he fired so many energy arrows, his energy value must be recovering. This is my chance."
Arcane Archers also had their weaknesses: firing arrows consumed energy, and depleted energy took time to recover.
During this period, if Chen Tian launched an attack, the opponent would be defenseless.
But Chen Tian found it extremely difficult to locate the opponent.
The map of this scene was too vast; it required painstaking searching.
In the game "Epoch of Time," as long as players were not in an arena, they could freely choose locations and transition scenes for battles.
This type of PvP was considered wilderness PvP. Killing the opponent would result in dropping one of their equipment items, but the opponent's death would not cause a level decrease.
Therefore, wilderness PvP had become a feature. Of course, many players supported wilderness PvP.
After all, being able to obtain an opponent's equipment by killing them, why wouldn't they?
In the Sunset Forest, with its dense trees and fading sunlight, Chen Tian was trying his best to find the opponent, but he couldn't find any trace.
Suddenly, countless white arrows shot from directly in front of Chen Tian. Chen Tian was startled. He found him.
But the white arrows had already reached Chen Tian. Instantly, the arrows exploded, and numerous gusts of wind formed small tornadoes that enveloped Chen Tian.
Although Chen Tian took no damage, his body was completely controlled by the tornadoes, carrying him away from here.
Wind-elemental arrows, primarily used for control, create tornadoes using strong winds to create distance between the enemy and themselves. Players caught within the tornadoes are completely immobilized, a mandatory effect of this type of elemental arrow.
It is one of the most powerful arrow types for Arcane Archers. Chen Tian could only watch as he and the opponent's figures were continuously pulled apart. To stop, he could only wait for the tornado to dissipate before regaining control of his body.
At the center of the wind vortex, Chen Tian could not move at all, similar to a suppression effect.
After some time, the tornadoes dissipated, and Chen Tian slowly landed on the ground.
He looked around in confusion. Where had he been swept to?
"Alas! It seems I have to find a way to sneak attack. Going head-on will likely be defended against."
Chen Tian sighed. He thought the opponent had no energy arrows left, but who knew they had a trick up their sleeve.
When an NPC possesses the same thinking ability as a player, it is truly terrifying. Chen Tian had reached this pathetic state without even seeing the opponent's figure.
"But I need to find a solution quickly. Otherwise, when his energy value recovers, who knows what the next attack will be?"
Chen Tian spoke calmly. He had been careless earlier; this time, he had to be cautious.
He unleashed his full speed and leaped among the trees again, constantly observing, searching for the opponent's figure.
At this moment, Chen Tian's figure was like a swordsman from a wuxia drama, moving freely with his Qinggong, wandering through the forest.
Suddenly, Chen Tian's mind flashed with an idea. He saw a scene.
The benefit of Inspiration manifested here. Because Chen Tian had obtained the Dragon Clan profession, his Inspiration attribute had reached 3100. A flash of inspiration struck.
Instantly, Chen Tian knew where the opponent was and rushed over, intending to catch them off guard.
However, Chen Tian absolutely did not expect the opponent to have set a trap at this moment.
Countless green and yellow arrows shot out from the soil and trees.
The green arrows transformed into numerous vines that spread and covered the surroundings. Instantly, Chen Tian was surrounded by vines. The yellow arrows transformed into sharp spikes and shot towards Chen Tian.
Chen Tian was surprised. Seeing the fleeing figure, he was helpless. However, he saw the opponent's attributes and noted that their energy value was still 100 points.
This meant that the opponent was both defending against him and recovering energy.
But Chen Tian was currently trapped by the vines, his hands and feet entangled by the tree vines. Numerous spikes struck Chen Tian's body.
Although Chen Tian took no damage, he was helpless. Wood-elemental arrows, like wind-elemental arrows, were sufficiently powerful elemental arrows for an Arcane Archer.
Wood-elemental arrows inherited the relentless vitality of the wood attribute. As long as they were within a wood-elemental terrain, the vines could draw energy from other wood elements to recover.
This move could only end when its duration expired, which was two minutes.
It was one of the most powerful elemental arrow types for an Arcane Archer. Chen Tian could only watch as the opponent escaped.
He was unable to break free, and his armor value was constantly dropping, but it was instantly recovered by a small amount.
This was the self-repair capability of the Dragon Scale Divine Armor; its armor value and durability could self-repair, making it immune to damage.
After two minutes, the vines disappeared, and Chen Tian landed on the ground, pondering deeply.
Chasing like this wouldn't work. The opponent was recovering energy while defending; he couldn't get close at all.
Moreover, a boss with player-like thinking was truly terrifying. It had predicted that Chen Tian would take the initiative and was aware of the traps it had set.
It was too terrifying. Chen Tian could only say that "Epoch of Time" was made too realistically. Chen Tian felt as if he were facing not a game NPC but a player.
Because only players would think so much. He could only say that the setting was outrageous, but perhaps it was precisely because of this that "Epoch of Time" became so popular.
Upon reflection, Chen Tian made a decision.
He decided to stop moving. Instead of taking the initiative, he would wait for the opponent to recover and come find him.
After all, his Inspiration was always active, and Chen Tian could locate the opponent's position based on it.
Rather than suffering from actively attacking, he might as well wait here.
If an Arcane Archer was already this troublesome, Chen Tian truly didn't know how he would deal with the remaining two generals.
It felt less like fighting NPCs and more like fighting players.
NPCs with player-like thinking were truly difficult to handle. If it were a pre-programmed boss without thought, Chen Tian would have ended the battle long ago.
After some time, Chen Tian remained seated in the same spot, waiting for the opponent.
Suddenly, Inspiration struck. Chen Tian sensed danger and instantly rolled on the ground.
"Bang!"
Several consecutive explosions rang out. The spot where Chen Tian had been sitting had turned into a huge pit.
"Energy Burst Arrow! But why can't I see the arrow?"
Chen Tian looked at the deep pit with confusion. Energy Burst Arrow was one of the most powerful arrow types for an Arcane Archer, dealing immense damage through compressed energy explosions.
But why he couldn't see the arrow was a mystery.
Of course, mystery or not, Chen Tian's Inspiration flashed, and he moved to evade.
Countless explosions occurred. Chen Tian continuously dodged behind trees. The explosive arrows seemed invisible, striking the trees and instantly breaking them.
The moment a tree fell, Chen Tian accidentally caught a glimpse of a luminous arrow.
Instantly, it all connected.
Light Arrow, the most unsolvable and troublesome elemental arrow for an Arcane Archer.
Light and darkness, the two most difficult elements in the world to comprehend.
Light cannot be seen through or touched, thus it cannot be seen. Darkness cannot be seen through or touched. Both light and darkness exist in the world.
Both light and darkness can cover the world. You don't even know why light and darkness appear in the world.
You don't even know why they appear in the world, so they are naturally incomprehensible and unpredictable.
But light and darkness are opposites, so the shadows of the trees revealed the shape of the Light Arrow.
Light is formless and intangible, hence the Light Arrow itself cannot be seen.
As for why it exploded, Chen Tian speculated that the opponent might have mixed light arrows with energy and compressed them, resulting in both the effect of Light Arrows and Explosive Arrows.
Chen Tian's eyes were indescribable. Could an NPC truly come up with such a strategy? This combat method, even some players might not be able to achieve it!
This game was truly too exciting; it made him unable to stop!
Chen Tian's perception of this game was once again refreshed. This game was becoming more and more addictive!
"Now, the challenge is to find the opponent's location. Only by knowing the location can I strike effectively. And I cannot engage head-on; there will surely be traps."
Chen Tian calmly analyzed. After the previous attack, he believed the opponent's energy value had been mostly depleted and they hadn't gone far. He needed to devise a foolproof plan to capture them.
Then, countless scenes flashed in his mind, and instantly, Chen Tian had an epiphany.
