Chen Tian, with his long saber in hand, met the gaze of Hui Mie Feng Bao. In an instant, they charged at each other. Chen Tian's saber, with its blades on both sides, slashed out alternately, directly towards Hui Mie Feng Bao's long spears. Hui Mie Feng Bao then began to dance with his twin spears, as if wielding two spears did not affect him at all. This made Chen Tian even more certain that his opponent was a Dual Spear Master, as only this class could wield dual spears without hindrance.
Normally, spear-wielding players who used two spears would require a significant amount of practice to coordinate them. However, Chen Tian felt that the coordination between Hui Mie Feng Bao's arms was incredibly perfect. The golden spear was the primary offensive weapon, while the ice-blue spear defended and deflected Chen Tian's saber. Chen Tian's saber also alternated between defense and offense, and for a time, the sound of weapon collisions echoed through the sky.
Subsequently, Chen Tian found an opening. The lower blade of his saber slashed upwards, instantly trapping Hui Mie Feng Bao's golden spear. With a twist of his hands, the saber spun, and Chen Tian caught it with his right hand. A horizontal sweep sent out a blade, forcing the golden spear back. Hui Mie Feng Bao's figure retreated.
Chen Tian then spoke, "Not bad, but unfortunately, I've fought too many Dual Spear Masters and am too familiar with your rhythm."
Hui Mie Feng Bao said nothing. Golden and red light flashed in his eyes, and his dual spears shot out, attacking Chen Tian. Chen Tian's saber spun around his body, deflecting all the spear attacks. His saber, using his waist as a pivot point, rotated like a hula hoop. If he lost control, the blade would hit himself instead of his opponent.
Fortunately, Chen Tian was proficient in all classes and knew how to use all weapons. Coupled with his past experience using saber-type weapons, he made no mistakes. With accumulated experience, familiarity came naturally.
Hui Mie Feng Bao looked at Chen Tian, then retreated. He felt that his dual spears might not be enough to kill Chen Tian and that he would have to use his trump card to defeat him. However, there were people all around, from other guilds, and that fellow Yang Yu Mu Feng was even observing their fight. If he exposed too much, he would have no hidden cards left.
Chen Tian's ring on his index finger glowed, and an instant later, a golden barrier slowly descended from above Chen Tian and Hui Mie Feng Bao, enveloping them both.
Hui Mie Feng Bao looked at the surrounding golden light and the "ocean" and asked, "What are you doing? Trying to trap me to death?"
Chen Tian replied, "Rest assured! I just want a true battle. Here, you can have no reservations and fight with all your might. As long as we don't clash with skills, people outside this light barrier won't be able to see what's happening inside. Come on! Let me see what your class is."
Chen Tian could see Hui Mie Feng Bao's concerns. He simply didn't want to expose himself too much, especially with the other two major guilds present. This was not the kind of battle Chen Tian desired. A battle should be fought with all one's strength, with fierce clashes. That is true combat. Hiding one's strengths in a battle is not a battle.
Hui Mie Feng Bao said gratefully, "Thank you! In that case, let's both go all out! If I lose when our weapons clash, I will lead my guild members to not participate. I promise you!"
"Okay! Come on, let me see your class. I won't tell anyone either."
Facing Chen Tian's words, Hui Mie Feng Bao nodded. He trusted Chen Tian, as Chen Tian had gone this far for him. It was evident that Chen Tian simply wanted a genuine fight.
Perhaps due to the awakening of Chen Tian's memories, he had become more battle-hungry. After all, he had integrated the origin of his other self from the divine realm, and some of that personality had rubbed off.
Then, long spears slowly grew from Hui Mie Feng Bao's back, four spears on each side. Each spear had a different colored crystal embedded at its base. The spears opened like mechanical wings, and the two spears in Hui Mie Feng Bao's hands glowed as if in joy.
Hui Mie Feng Bao spoke, "Blue Star Rank player, Hui Mie Feng Bao, Class: Spear Virtuoso! Please advise."
This was an acknowledgment of Chen Tian and also a sign of respect. Chen Tian's long saber disappeared, and he stood with empty hands, saying, "White Star Rank player, Di Qing, Class: Bare Bowman! Please advise!"
In "Epoch of Time," players usually stated their main class because that was what they primarily trained.
Hui Mie Feng Bao asked, "Where is your bow?"
Chen Tian spread his hands, and instantly a fiery red longbow appeared in his hands. Of course, this longbow was not formed by Chen Tian's shapeshifting ball, but was condensed from ordinary fire elements. Chen Tian's fire element had also been released from its restrictions. Chen Tian wanted to see how far he could go now, even without using divine fire.
Chen Tian drew the bowstring. The spears behind Hui Mie Feng Bao loosened, and Hui Mie Feng Bao's figure charged directly at Chen Tian, his speed even faster than before. This time, Hui Mie Feng Bao was using his full strength, as no one could see what was happening here, allowing him to fight without restraint.
Chen Tian released the bowstring, and countless flaming arrows shot out, whistling towards Hui Mie Feng Bao. Hui Mie Feng Bao danced with his long spears, deflecting all the arrows. He instantly appeared before Chen Tian, thrusting his spear. Chen Tian's longbow collided with the spear, leaving a scratch and sparks. Chen Tian then swept his longbow, shooting out a blade. Hui Mie Feng Bao was truly surprised by this usage, using the longbow as a long saber. The blade was upon him, mere inches away, but a spear from behind Hui Mie Feng Bao shot out and collided with the blade, shattering it.
The spear returned to Hui Mie Feng Bao's back. Chen Tian now understood one of the class's abilities: he could control the spears behind him. This meant that if all eight spears charged at Chen Tian along with the two in his hands, making ten in total, Chen Tian might have trouble fending them off, especially since all his spears were of the same quality, as if they were a matched set.
As if seeing Chen Tian's concern, Hui Mie Feng Bao said, "I will only use six spears. I won't bully you, and you don't need to worry."
"Alright!"
Chen Tian felt a bit relieved upon hearing this. He could control weapons too, but doing so would expose his class. He had already stated his main class was Bare Bowman. If he used abilities from another class, it would raise suspicions.
Then, Chen Tian drew his bowstring, preparing to fire arrows, while Hui Mie Feng Bao gripped his dual spears, looking at Chen Tian. Both were waiting for the other to make a move.
