Chen Tian looked at the gauntlets in Mo Yuan's hands. Even his Divine Pupil skill, which had been upgraded, couldn't provide any information about the gauntlets, leaving Chen Tian utterly shocked. After all, Divine Pupil had been leveled up.
To be unable to discern the information of Mo Yuan's gauntlets was truly bizarre. Did it require Divine Pupil to be upgraded again? But Chen Tian wanted to save his skill upgrade cards.
Seizing Chen Tian's moment of surprise, Mo Yuan caused sharp spikes to grow from the gauntlets. These spikes then shot out like deadly drills, while his fists transformed into swords and daggers. In an instant, Mo Yuan charged towards Chen Tian.
Chen Tian reacted swiftly. He gripped the hilts of his saber and sword with both hands, holding them in front of him. With a rapid spin, a seven-colored circular shield of light appeared before him. The numerous drills struck the shield, and Chen Tian was forced to retreat. The attack had a knockback effect, a forceful one at that, which stunned Chen Tian.
Subsequently, Mo Yuan appeared behind Chen Tian, his sword and dagger slashing down. Chen Tian had already calculated this outcome. Instantly, he spun his weapons in his hands, and the circular shield materialized behind him, blocking Mo Yuan's attack.
Mo Yuan looked at Chen Tian, then retracted his arms and pushed forward again. Sharp spikes emerged from the gauntlets, and his fist struck the shield. The shield cracked and then shattered with a loud *crack*. This punch was augmented with a "Power Specialization" effect, increasing his strength eightfold. Chen Tian's defense simply couldn't withstand it.
However, Chen Tian remained unfazed; everything was within his calculations. He activated "Limit Dodge," subtly shifting his body to the left. Mo Yuan's fist grazed past Chen Tian's body. Chen Tian weaved and swayed, ducking and rolling, making it impossible for Mo Yuan's fists to connect.
The biggest weakness of "Power Specialization" was that it required direct contact with the player's equipment and body to inflict damage. Without contact, even with over a dozen times the amplification, there would be no damage.
Mo Yuan looked at Chen Tian, finding him quite troublesome. Chen Tian's calculation ability was too formidable; he could predict almost every move Mo Yuan planned to make, rendering his attacks useless.
Mo Yuan knew this. He then opened the edges of his gauntlets, forming wings, and instantly shot out a barrage of spikes towards Chen Tian.
Chen Tian was momentarily stunned. "It even has weapon forms. How many weapon forms does this entire set have?"
He then emanated a nine-colored glow, enveloping himself. The countless spikes shot from Mo Yuan's gauntlets struck Chen Tian, who was surrounded by the nine-colored divine light, capable of penetrating all things in existence.
The spikes disintegrated upon hitting Chen Tian's nine-colored light barrier. Mo Yuan then retreated. In close combat, he stood no chance against Chen Tian's incredible calculation ability.
Chen Tian also understood Mo Yuan's intentions and knew it was all within his calculations. The only thing he hadn't calculated was the previous weapon form. Now that Mo Yuan had revealed several weapon forms, Chen Tian figured Mo Yuan was likely out of options.
After all, a weapon couldn't possibly have too many forms, perhaps at most nine, excluding specialized class weapons. However, Chen Tian didn't dare underestimate a vital weapon.
Mo Yuan looked at Chen Tian. The black crystals on his gauntlets began to emit a faint glow, and the entire surface of the gauntlets became covered in black crystals. They looked as if they were composed of black crystal, but instead of being bright, they were deep, dark, and eerie, exuding an oppressive aura.
Seeing Mo Yuan's gauntlets change, Chen Tian decisively attacked. He needed to take the initiative before fully understanding Mo Yuan's gauntlet abilities; he had to test them first.
He instantly appeared before Mo Yuan. He pulled his weapons apart, separating his left saber from his right sword. The saber slashed forward, while the sword swept horizontally.
Mo Yuan clenched his fists as a deep black light emanated from them. Simultaneously, a fierce glow appeared on both sides of his fists, forming a colossal black silhouette etched onto the gauntlets.
He punched out, and the terrifying black light transformed into a beam, charging directly at Chen Tian's attack. Chen Tian's assault was instantly neutralized, and he was forced to retreat.
Mo Yuan stepped forward, charging at Chen Tian, who quickly reacted, anticipating Mo Yuan's intent.
Chen Tian's figure flickered, and he appeared above Mo Yuan, his sword descending.
Mo Yuan punched upwards, aiming for the descending sword. As he punched, the black silhouette emerged from the light, a colossal tiger-like entity, yet not quite a tiger.
A thunderous explosion echoed. Chen Tian and Mo Yuan's figures reappeared in the void. Chen Tian observed Mo Yuan, realizing he was even more powerful than before.
Chen Tian couldn't shake the feeling that if they were to clash head-on, he would surely be no match for Mo Yuan.
Chen Tian looked at Mo Yuan, their eyes meeting. Black energy, liquid, and light erupted from Mo Yuan's body, while Chen Tian emanated a nine-colored glow. They then collided directly.
An explosion occurred in the void. This was an all-out collision, and it would determine the victor of this round.
From the explosion in the void, Chen Tian and Mo Yuan emerged. Chen Tian's health had dropped by 15%, while Mo Yuan's had decreased by 25%. During the collision, Chen Tian hadn't noticed that Mo Yuan's gauntlets possessed a piercing effect, causing him to take damage. Fortunately, Mo Yuan had also sustained some damage.
The former Chen Tian would have considered this a loss, but in this form, all his stats, including health, had surged. This was why Chen Tian dared to be so reckless.
With nearly 190,000 health points, although slightly less than Mo Yuan, Chen Tian's attacks were bolstered by both Dragon and Phoenix racial abilities. Mo Yuan also had a difficult time, hence the greater health depletion.
Chen Tian and Mo Yuan opened their hands, and their weapons vanished. Light wings slowly unfurled from Chen Tian's back, emitting a nine-colored radiance that illuminated the entire void.
From Mo Yuan's body, a *thudding* sound resonated, and black liquid began to stream down his form.
Meanwhile, beyond the serene plain, a shadowy projection of the Demon King watched the five individuals with disdain. Lux frowned slightly. Within the Five Elements Array, five beams of light shot towards the sky, then descended, converging at the center of the magic array. The five colors were vibrant and dazzling. The Demon King's projection made no move, wanting to see what other tricks these humans had up their sleeves.
