Chen Tian looked at the screen in front of him, taking in the reward information. At the same time, he noticed that all of Leia's party members had leveled up. He considered this boss to be quite good, especially the talent that provided immense help to Chen Tian.
Leia approached Chen Tian and extended his right hand, saying, "Little brother, thank you. Without you, we might not have been able to take down this boss. May I have a handshake and add you as a friend?"
Seeing Leia's gesture, Chen Tian became a little flustered. The reason was simple: he was introverted and disliked interacting with people. Should he shake hands or not? He hesitated.
"Then let's add each other as friends!"
Leia noticed Chen Tian's expression and guessed that he might not like making friends. However, in the Era of Time, adding friends was acceptable.
"No, no need. I don't like adding friends. We'll meet again if fate allows."
Chen Tian waved his hand, then flusteredly opened his electronic screen and immediately left the party mode, vanishing from the cave.
"Brother, this guy is shy, hehe!"
Lei Xue giggled from the side. Luo Shiya also smiled, her loli-like figure making her look adorable. Only Sen Sha pondered nearby.
He seemed to recall someone with such a personality a few years ago. Who could it be?
"Sen Sha, what are you thinking about? Let's go. This quest boss is finished, and we should go for a celebratory drink."
Leia put away his shield. Everyone checked their losses and then disappeared in a flash of light.
With a flash, Chen Tian reappeared in the tavern. He then stepped out, leaving the place. The first level was a gathering place for newcomers. Chen Tian had read the manual for the Era of Time.
The Era of Time was divided into ninety-nine levels, categorized into: one apex level, one high level, three mid-levels, and the first level was the low level. Reaching level fifty and the thirtieth floor would mean entering the true world.
However, even the world of the first level was vast. It contained countless cities, towering forests, and a massive world waiting for players to explore.
Chen Tian's first destination was the Sea of Stars outside the city. The Sea of Stars was a training ground for level twenty-five players. It also had a special area, which, rumor had it, only lucky players could encounter.
Chen Tian's next training level would be in the Sea of Stars. He then looked at his attribute points and said, "My current attributes are enough to support me until level thirty. I'll allocate points after level thirty! Although I have all the hidden professions, I don't know the exact attribute requirements, so I'll save them. These sixty attribute points."
Afterward, Chen Tian stepped out of the city and headed southeast.
The Sea of Stars, as its name suggested, sounded like a vast ocean. However, the reality was different. The Sea of Stars hovered in the sky, with the Star River beneath its feet, resembling an ocean. Starlight adorned it, with nine-colored starlight constantly twinkling. The Star River above was brilliant and dazzling, extremely radiant. The entire Star River and starlight formed a beautiful landscape.
The Star River in the sky, the ocean of starlight, stepping on starlight, beneath the Star River!
Chen Tian looked at the Sea of Stars before him. It was indeed a beautiful sight. He then took out his dual swords, and an electronic screen appeared before him.
"Initiate Starry Sky Trial?"
"Yes!"
Chen Tian did not hesitate and clicked "Yes." The Starry Sky Trial was the challenge of the Sea of Stars, a place for trial and training. It was a unique location on the first level, but very few players passed the trial of the Sea of Stars.
As the sky violently shook, starlight scattered, and countless stars and Star Rivers converged into starry beings.
They resembled animals: lions, tigers, snakes, eagles, every animal imaginable.
The Starry Sky Trial officially began.
The Starry Sky Trial involved facing the Starry Sky Guardians of the entire Sea of Stars. Only by killing all the Starry Sky Guardians could one receive rewards.
Furthermore, these Starry Sky Guardians came with reward bonuses.
Chen Tian looked at the swarms of Starry Sky Guardians. They were enveloped by the Star River, composed of starlight, with translucent bodies. It seemed as if only their forms were visible, and their bones were nowhere to be seen.
With his dual swords in hand, Chen Tian stepped forward, instantly transforming into a gust of wind and charging towards the Starry Sky Guardians.
Facing the swarms of Starry Sky Guardians, Chen Tian was not afraid. He was now level twenty-one, and with the rewards he had received earlier, he could still handle experience monsters up to level twenty-five.
"Crack, crack!"
His bones creaked, and with these sounds, Chen Tian's Strength and Constitution attributes continuously increased, instantly reaching a value of five hundred.
Talent: Torso Reinforcement!
This was the talent Chen Tian had obtained earlier. Torso Reinforcement could greatly enhance a player's bones, thereby increasing their Constitution and Strength attributes. However, this talent could currently only boost up to five hundred attributes; no further increase was possible once that value was reached.
But talents could be improved. In the Era of Time, every player had a chance to obtain their own talent, and the abilities of these talents could be enhanced, but the required items were extremely rare.
Chen Tian, possessing his first talent, was the luckiest among millions of players. After all, talents could only be obtained through exclusive quests and boss kills, with a success rate of less than ten percent.
It could be said that Chen Tian was truly fortunate.
With his attributes soaring, Chen Tian, at five hundred points, instantly appeared before the Starry Sky Guardians. The Starry Sky Guardians looked at Chen Tian. They were composed of the system and knew that the young man before them was their target.
Countless agitated Starry Sky Guardians charged towards Chen Tian. Chen Tian gripped his dual swords, and instantly, a cross-shaped blade shot out.
Skill: Cross Slash.
A cross-shaped blade instantly sliced through several Starry Sky Guardians. At the same time, waves of energy swirled around Chen Tian's feet, and his figure instantly transformed into countless afterimages, appearing all over the Sea of Stars.
Skill: Gale Phantom.
He turned into an afterimage, continuously weaving through the ranks of the Starry Sky Guardians, the sound of slicing echoing, and starlight scattering.
If anyone witnessed this scene, they would surely be shocked! After all, this was the trial of the Sea of Stars!
One must know that this trial involved five thousand Starry Sky Guardians! Yet, someone was fighting a horde alone, completing the trial by themselves.
Chen Tian, amidst the Starry Sky Guardians, his figure ethereal, afterimages flashing, his dual swords constantly revealing a unique cold glint. Simultaneously, countless Starry Sky Guardians dissolved into starlight under his dual swords.
