The sharpness ignores fixed defense, meaning this weapon bypasses defenses with fixed numerical values. For example, when the opponent has 20 points of armor remaining, an attack with the spear will not be blocked. This spear negates those 20 points of armor. Without the help of this spear, it would take Qingfeng Mie three to five moves to break through.
Moreover, this ability doubles its effect in the sea, meaning it ignores 40 points of armor, which is highly advantageous for combat. The attributes are powerful, the characteristics are good, and it is complete.
"Good, I agree to the wager with you."
Qingfeng Mie put away the metal materials, and Chen Tian returned the spear to his inventory. Energy barriers rose on the arena.
"Virtual health bar loading..."
"Virtual health bar loaded."
"Players battling on the arena, zero virtual health bar means loss!"
"The match begins now!"
Chen Tian listened to the electronic announcement on the arena. The virtual health bar was a game mode in Chrono Epoch's arena. On the arena, the virtual health bar overlaid the player's own health bar, with the same amount of health. However, if this health bar reached zero, the player would lose the match on the arena. The advantage was that reaching zero did not result in player death.
This was officially designed by Chrono Epoch to ensure players didn't kill each other on the arena, as every player death would result in a level drop. Continuous arena battles would quickly lead to significant level loss.
Qingfeng Mie gripped his spear tightly and stepped forward, a beam of light shooting directly at Chen Tian. Chen Tian shifted slightly to the left. In Chen Tian's eyes, a spear grazed past his cheek.
Qingfeng Mie appeared behind Chen Tian and turned to face him, asking, "Where is your weapon?"
Chen Tian replied calmly, "I don't need a weapon to deal with you."
Seeing Chen Tian's expression and demeanor, as if he genuinely didn't need a weapon to handle him, Qingfeng Mie immediately became serious. Based on his earlier attack, the young man before him was definitely not a novice. He had dodged his move with ease, something a novice couldn't achieve.
Qingfeng Mie roared, "Then I'll show you my strength."
He swung his spear, and Chen Tian extended his palm. With a 'ding,' his two fingers blocked the tip of the spear. Qingfeng Mie was shocked, then changed his move. He flicked his spear and swept it to Chen Tian's left.
Chen Tian raised his arm, and the spear shaft struck his arm. Qingfeng Mie felt a strong recoil in his arm. He couldn't believe it. What player had such a physique to withstand his weapon head-on?
"Heavens! The strength of that guy's physique, how is that possible?"
"That's a White Star-grade weapon!"
"I don't believe it, I absolutely don't believe it. What class is he?"
"Such a terrifying physique, is he a physique-based class player?"
...
The players below the arena began to discuss. What was Chen Tian's class? They couldn't find any information about the player on the arena; all they could see was no name, just "Di Qing."
But they had never heard of such a person.
Chen Tian had used "Crossing the Sea Under Camouflage" to simulate all his information panels as fake, and the function to view player information was also altered. Players couldn't see his true attributes; they only saw fake ones.
"I don't believe it!"
Qingfeng Mie refused to believe it. His weapon swept out in a wide arc. Chen Tian sighed softly, 'Alas!' kuAiδugg
Chen Tian's palm and fingers directly pinched the connection point between the spearhead and the shaft. Chen Tian's figure flashed instantly. Before Qingfeng Mie could react, with a 'peng,' a palm appeared in front of his abdomen and struck him, pushing him back.
His health bar decreased by 20%. Qingfeng Mie looked up, unable to see Chen Tian's figure. Chen Tian's voice echoed in his ear, "Why not surrender? I don't want to waste time."
"Surrender, impossible! I am iron-boned and will never surrender."
Mainly, if he surrendered, his ranking on the player leaderboard would drop. The rank he had fought so hard to achieve, and one step further would bring even greater rewards.
Qingfeng Mie didn't want to give up!
"Alas, why won't you listen?"
A magnificent sword light flashed before Qingfeng Mie's eyes. Under this sword light, Qingfeng Mie's health bar was instantly depleted.
"Ding! Congratulations to player Di Qing for winning this arena match."
An electronic voice sounded from the arena. The players below hadn't even reacted before Qingfeng Mie lost.
"What, what just happened? Was that sword light an instant kill?"
"No, that wasn't one sword light, that was a hundred sword lights! Such incredible attack speed!"
"Where did this player named Di Qing come from? Terrifying physique, incredibly fast sword light, dual-class? Don't tell me both are combat-focused."
"Probably!"
"No, that's wrong. The attack speed just now is something even a dual-wielder couldn't achieve. Is this guy a hidden class?"
Chen Tian walked up to Qingfeng Mie and said, "You lost."
"I lost. My rank is yours now. I'll give you these metal materials."
"Alright, but we're not strangers anymore. I'll give you this spear. Let's add each other as friends."
As soon as Chen Tian finished speaking, Qingfeng Mie froze, stuttering, "R-really, really, really give it to me?"
"Don't you want it? You and I seem suited to be friends. I wouldn't neglect a friend."
"Let's add each other. I'll send you my friend request later."
"Hahaha! I accept you as a friend. Just add me as Qingfeng."
"Chen Tian!"
The two who were fighting moments ago suddenly became good friends. Chen Tian looked at Qingfeng Mie and thought to himself, "It should be him. Never mind, he hasn't awakened yet. We'll take it slow. I've given you what belongs to you in advance."
Chen Tian took the metal materials, which were directly placed into his inventory by the system. Chen Tian's information indicated he was close to completing a certain mission, needing only two more materials. He would continue to work hard.
Chen Tian and Qingfeng Mie added each other as friends. Chen Tian then approached Chen Ling and Qing Ling. Chen Ling hugged Chen Tian's arm and asked, "Brother, is it him?"
"I don't think I'm mistaken; it should be him. But he hasn't awakened yet."
"Brother, don't worry. He will awaken. Let's go wander around!"
"Okay!"
Chen Tian gently tapped Chen Ling's nose. She was very cute. He could only indulge his sister; there was nothing he could do.
"Qingfeng, I'll send you the weapon later. Don't worry."
"Okay, I know, Chen Tian."
Chen Tian walked through the streets of Hailong City. Chen Ling watched her brother fiddling with his interface. Chen Ling looked up and then said, "Brother, I think Xingyu brother should change his spear."
"Even if brother creates the original spear, it won't suit him anymore. How about you ask Xingyu brother about his preferences and characteristics when using a spear, and we'll create one together, a spear that surpasses weapons from the Divine Realm? What do you think?"
Chen Ling spoke, and Chen Tian fell silent. Indeed, Xingyu hadn't awakened yet, and even if he did, he wouldn't be the same Xingyu. The Xingyu of the Divine Realm was his past self. The current him was different. The spear that accompanied him before might not be effective anymore.
"I'll ask later. However, crafting weapons requires too many materials. If possible, it's best to forge a Purple Gold-grade weapon. I have enough materials with me now. I'll ask later."
"Chen Tian, let's go look over there!"
Qing Ling felt they had browsed enough and said calmly. The three of them shopped until they saw other players. Chen Tian and the other two returned to the tavern. Tomorrow was the day of the auction.
Chen Tian returned to the tavern, and an interface popped out; it was an email. Chen Tian smiled incredulously and put away his interface.
Chen Tian contacted Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, what kind of spear do you need? Also, tell me about your characteristics and fighting style."
Qingfeng: "Chen Tian, what are you going to do?"
Chen Tian: "I'm going to craft a weapon for you. It should be Purple Gold-grade, made according to your preferences."
Qingfeng was stunned when he saw Chen Tian's message. Crafting a weapon himself, heavens!
Chrono Epoch allowed players to craft their own exclusive weapons. These weapons had no upper limit and could be continuously nurtured. However, players could only obtain the weapon crafting system after reaching Purple Light grade. How could Chen Tian have activated the crafting system early, or would he craft one for him after reaching Purple Light grade?
Weapon crafting levels were divided into: Silver grade, Gold grade, Purple Light grade, and Star Light grade. Each grade had a formidable upper limit.
The abilities and characteristics of self-crafted weapons were determined by the attributes and abilities of the materials.
Qingfeng: "I'll send you the image of the weapon I want later."
Qingfeng: "Chen Tian, are you going to craft it now?"
Chen Tian: "Yes, I'm going to craft one for you. I have enough materials here. My friend can craft it."
Qingfeng: "Thank you, Chen Tian. If you ever need anything, just ask me."
Chen Tian: "Okay!"
Soon, Chen Tian received a series of information from Qingfeng. Chen Tian glanced at it and thought it was fine; he had the materials for these conditions. Chen Tian initiated the crafting process. As the system owner, Chen Tian's "Cold and Quiet Mode" for game crafting was always activated.
Chen Tian's mode offered many benefits but also drawbacks. As for why Chen Tian didn't craft an exclusive weapon for himself, the system stated: "Chen Tian's All-Purpose Ball, when upgraded to the highest level, can transform into any weapon at any time without the need for duplication, and can even directly transmute weapons from the Divine Realm."
With the All-Purpose Ball, why would he need an exclusive weapon?
One All-Purpose Ball was comparable to countless exclusive weapons. As long as Chen Tian wished, he could customize the weapon's appearance, attributes, and abilities, as long as they did not exceed the All-Purpose Ball's limitations.
Of course, this was on the condition that the All-Purpose Ball's level was raised to the maximum. Chen Tian was only at level two currently, with a long way to go.
