Chen Tian was speechless. Regarding his luck, he could only say that he triggered quests and received rewards casually, without understanding why. His luck value was only 51, which was average, yet the trigger rate was always absurdly high.
"Alright, now I need to figure out how to complete the trial quest! The outer perimeter is surrounded by them. To get through the perimeter, I need to complete the task of killing them all."
Chen Tian touched his forehead. He would have to waste a few more days. Fortunately, there was no time limit in the extreme north; otherwise, Chen Tian would have been anxious to death.
Teacher San analyzed logically, "Splitting up to deal with them would be too time-consuming. Is there a way to finish them off in one wave?"
"That won't work either. Neither of our professions has large-area damage skills. We'll have to take it slow!"
Chen Tian had a flash of inspiration upon hearing Teacher San's words. That's right! How could he not have thought of a one-wave strategy?
Then, the corners of his mouth curled up. "Teacher San, your suggestion is excellent. That's what we'll do, a one-wave strategy."
"But Chen Tian, we don't have area-of-effect skills! Even if you've mastered all professions, those large-area skills can only be used at level seventy-five."
Teacher San said with a look of dejection, but Chen Tian shook his head. "If we don't have the skills, we'll create them. Oh, I forgot, you can't create skills yourself. That's a pity!"
"Pfft!"
Teacher San felt as if a sharp sword had pierced his body. Not being able to create skills was his pain. This profession was too bizarre; it directly canceled his ability to create skills.
Although he could randomly experience skills from different professions, which was a good experience, this was still a pain point!
Because he envied others' self-created skills!
"Chen Tian, you've gone too far! My weak little heart has been wounded. You must compensate me!"
"Alright! Come, let's hug! Don't cry, don't cry!"
Chen Tian had a mischievous grin. Teacher San's whole body tensed up at Chen Tian's actions, and then he said, "I was joking, just joking. Chen Tian, there's no need for two grown men to hug. My weak little heart has recovered, recovered! No need."
"Then it's fine. If it hasn't recovered, tell me, and I'll help you."
Chen Tian said jokingly. The two of them chatted merrily, and then began their formal plan. After a morning of effort, they developed a reasonable plan, but this plan depended on whether Chen Tian could master a large-area skill; otherwise, the plan would still fail.
"Let's try. It's my first time creating this kind of skill!"
Chen Tian had god-tier skills, but the range was not large enough. The enemy numbered in the tens of millions, and the area where they would gather was imaginable. His current god-tier skills couldn't wipe them out in one wave; he needed to learn a new one.
Then, Teacher San nodded and stepped into the Frostflame Valley, while Chen Tian began to move around the edges of the Frostflame Valley. He needed to research what type of large-area skill to create; this was a priority.
Suddenly, inspiration struck him, and countless images appeared in his mind. Chen Tian calculated them, then settled on three images. The corners of his mouth curled up. "I already know what skill to create."
Then, with divine ice in his left hand and divine fire in his right, he approached the ground. The divine fire and divine ice transformed into crystal-like forms and entered the valley floor.
Chen Tian continuously placed them along the edges, deploying thousands of divine ice crystals and divine fire crystals.
Rumble!
Instantly, the ground of the entire Frostflame Valley began to tremble even more violently. Densely packed snow and ice sprites chased after Teacher San, rushing towards Chen Tian's location.
Teacher San shouted loudly, "Chen Tian, I've attracted them all. It's up to you now!"
Chen Tian watched as Teacher San and the snow and ice sprites entered his range. Instantly, divine ice and divine fire appeared in his hands, transforming into fine threads that entered the ground.
Suddenly, two-thirds of the Frostflame Valley's ice surface lit up with purple-blue and azure light, and a massive magic array appeared on the ground.
Countless lines connected the divine ice crystals and divine fire crystals. As the magic array appeared, Teacher San suddenly thought and exclaimed, "Holy crap, something's wrong! I'm still within the skill's range!"
"Chen Tian, save me!"
But it was too late. The divine ice crystals and divine fire crystals were connected, and half the ground glowed ice blue, the other half purple-blue. Flames and ice converged and flowed. Chen Tian tensed his entire body as he created the skill.
If he made even a single mistake, everything would be for naught. He had to concentrate all his attention on creating it.
The fearsome divine ice and divine fire fused and intertwined within the magic array. The snow and ice sprites sensed the danger and tried to escape, but it was already too late.
A blue-purple flame ice pillar erupted from the magic array, shooting straight into the sky. The range of the flame ice pillar was about two-thirds of the Frostflame Valley's ice surface.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for comprehending the fully formed skill: Icefire Annihilation Array!"
The icefire pillar, purple-blue in color, pierced the heavens, painting the sky, like a crystal night sky!
Skill: Icefire Annihilation Array.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
A roaring sound reached Chen Tian's ears. Chen Tian looked intently and saw Teacher San standing safely beside him, patting his chest. "I thought I was going to die. Luckily, Chen Tian, you didn't use the Spirit-grade Divine Fire or Divine Ice. My Elemental God Body could withstand it. Otherwise, this move would have killed me directly. But Chen Tian, what level of skill did you comprehend? This power and duration are just too long!"
"Even the most powerful mage skills don't have such great power and duration!"
Teacher San sighed as he looked at the scene before him. It was a beautiful sight, and he also mourned for the snow and ice sprites for a second.
Chen Tian slowly said, "It's not over. It's not over yet."
The sound Chen Tian had heard earlier came from within the magic array. Then, he opened his divine pupils, and what he saw made him freeze.
Chen Tian's status panel then appeared, and he exclaimed, "Holy crap, you're telling me this now?"
"Teacher San, run! We can't win!"
Then, Chen Tian directly scooped up Teacher San and flew out. He should have said something earlier! Telling him now was like playing a trick on him!
???
Teacher San's mind was filled with question marks. Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Why was Chen Tian so panicked!
"Roar!"
A roar sounded around Teacher San and Chen Tian. Simultaneously, an ice shield appeared in the sky above the Frostflame Valley's ice surface. Chen Tian stopped flying, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "This is not good."
