Chen Tian watched the battle between the two before him reach its climax.
The fight between Shui Li and Huo Yun Tian was now in full swing, the entire sky seemingly frozen.
The entire Flaming Forest appeared to have turned into an ice forest, ice freezing everything around, freezing the air, freezing all existence.
Chen Tian, thanks to his Divine Body, was completely unaffected.
Chen Tian watched the two figures above him, then opened his status bar.
He instantly clicked on the Elf race profession. His race directly changed from Human to Elf.
Chen Tian's body immediately transformed.
A pair of ice-blue, crystal-like wings slowly sprouted from Chen Tian's back. Below the ice-blue wings were fiery red, crystalline wings. Two pairs of wings appeared on Chen Tian's back.
At the same time, Chen Tian's eyes turned one red and one blue, his ears became pointed, and his skin became even more delicate and snow-white.
His height even decreased. Chen Tian looked at his reflection in the ice.
"Is this the initial appearance of an Elf? Why does it look a bit like a girl?"
Chen Tian looked at himself in the ice with confusion, then dismissed the thought.
With a humming sound, his wings flapped, and Chen Tian instantly took flight.
In the game "Epoch of Time," Elves possessed an innate advantage: flight.
This was their birthright, an instinct they possessed from birth.
Players could also fly, but they needed to reach a certain level or have a specific profession and learn the skill.
However, flying skills were incredibly rare, classified as purple-tier in the game's settings.
Elves, on the other hand, could fly from birth, a fact that made countless players envious.
Not only were Elves a powerful race, but they were also a united one, which was why players rarely attempted to defeat Elf members alone.
They usually hunted in groups, significantly increasing their chances of success.
Elves had three stages of growth: Juvenile, Transformed, and Mature.
Chen Tian's physique and attributes corresponded to the Juvenile stage. Furthermore, Elves needed to meet certain conditions to break through to the next stage.
However, Chen Tian didn't pay attention to this now. He soared into the sky and approached Shui Li.
Shui Li was astonished to see Chen Tian, who could fly freely and had transformed into an Elf.
Humans could transform into Elves? It was unheard of.
"I'll help!"
"Thank you, but you're still in the Juvenile stage, your abilities are limited. Be careful!"
"Thank you for your concern, I know my limits."
Chen Tian and Shui Li met each other's gaze. As Shui Li channeled his ice-blue energy into his hands, a tsunami instantly formed in his palms.
An ice-blue tsunami of ice charged towards Huo Yun Fei, who, not to be outdone, unleashed his own technique.
Countless azure flames converged in his hands. He brought his palms together and instantly extended a finger.
A massive pillar of azure flame shot out.
Skill: Seven Armies Drowned by Water
Skill: A Thread of Firelight
Chen Tian observed the damage numbers of their skills and acted instantly. A red and blue aura swirled in his hands.
Water and fire appeared, merging into Chen Tian's fists.
The Ice-Fire Divine Body allowed Chen Tian to ignore ice and fire elemental energy. Ice was derived from water, so Chen Tian could naturally control water elements, though not to the extent displayed on his panel yet.
Water froze into ice, and ice melted into water; these two natural phenomena complemented each other.
Chen Tian's left fist was slowly enveloped in crimson flames, their intensity rivaling the massive sea of fire from before.
A 200% increase in fire elemental mastery was no joke; it significantly boosted the amount of fire elemental energy Chen Tian could control.
Nearby, weak streams of water continuously froze into ice blocks and began to encase Chen Tian, but compared to the immense flames, the ice quickly melted.
"It's, it's that physique, impossible!"
"Hahaha! I didn't expect it, little fellow, you possess that kind of physique! So be it, I'll lend you a hand!"
Huo Yun Tian was terrified, while Shui Li burst into laughter. He then extended a finger, and an ice-blue stream of water flowed into the wings on Chen Tian's back.
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining complete water elemental mastery."
"Ding! The Ice-Fire Divine Body has replenished its fire element, and with sufficient water element, it has evolved into an Elemental Divine Body."
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for mastering fire and ice elements, with abilities increased by 200%."
"Ding! The Elemental Elf race profession has been changed to a support profession."
Chen Tian, listening to the electronic voice in his mind, didn't hesitate. Instantly, countless violent streams of water flowed from Chen Tian's left arm.
Massive fireballs and ice spheres instantly appeared in Chen Tian's palms.
The fireball was as dazzling as the sun, and the ice sphere was as serene as the moon.
Chen Tian looked at the fire and ice spheres on either side of him. He then glanced forward. Neither "Seven Armies Drowned by Water" nor "A Thread of Firelight" could overcome the other. Chen Tian immediately threw his hands forward.
Skill: Ice-Fire Sun and Moon!
This was Chen Tian's most powerful Elf skill at level thirty. This single attack consumed all of Chen Tian's elemental energy.
With the addition of the ice sphere and fireball, the freezing effect of "Seven Armies Drowned by Water" was enhanced, while Huo Yun Tian's flame effect weakened. Chen Tian's fireball was, in essence, Elf elemental energy.
The same elemental energies could cancel each other out or amplify each other. The firelight and the fireball were mutually negating each other's power, while the ice ball amplified the effect of "Seven Armies Drowned by Water."
"Descent of the Fire God!"
"Law of the Water God!"
Seeing the unfavorable turn of events, Huo Yun Tian instantly activated his strongest skill, as did Shui Li. He would not allow the opponent to turn the tide.
Two beams of light shot out from their bodies and pierced the heavens. The entire second layer of the world was affected by the red and blue beams.
The night sky resembled a galaxy of flames, a starry sky of ice blue. The interplay of red and blue was truly captivating.
Behind Huo Yun Fei was a phantom figure, while behind Shui Li was a figure slightly more substantial than Huo Yun Tian's.
The phantom of Huo Yun Fei and the phantom of Shui Li were completely different in appearance, though seemingly similar in age and countenance.
Huo Yun Tian spoke calmly, "Water God, it's been a while since we last sparred!"
"Fire God, indeed. Then let's see who is stronger now!"
Shui Li's and Huo Yun Tian's tones instantly changed. Shui Li glanced at Chen Tian and then nodded.
With that single glance, Chen Tian's health bar instantly dropped to 10%.
Chen Tian stared at Shui Li before him in disbelief. Was this still the same Shui Li from before? Just a mere look.
His health bar had dropped to 10% without the other party launching any attacks. No, it was just a casual glance.
Chen Tian then opened their status interfaces.
These two were definitely not the original Huo Yun Tian and Shui Li. He had to find out who they were.
