Chen Tian gazed at the water dragon before him, the information appearing from his Divine Eye.

Chen Tian examined the abilities: Water Element Rebirth, Water Source Recovery. They were currently underwater! The opponent was immortal. How could Chen Tian possibly win?
Moreover, the opponent's strength was monstrous. A Blue Ling Grade One capable of contending with a Blue Ling Grade Thirty-three. Was this the pure dragon race? Even the lowest-grade level one was not to be underestimated by Chen Tian.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Dragon roars echoed, and Chen Tian was sent flying by the sonic waves, constantly retreating. Chen Tian stabilized himself as the water dragon fixed its gaze on him. Chen Tian knew this battle was unavoidable.
However, since the opponent was immune to water element attacks, it would be difficult for Chen Tian to fight. It would be great if he could use other offensive methods.
"Ding, the host's boss battle has no restrictions. This boss is merely the boss of the fourth stage, appearing in the third stage. The host is merely challenging the stage early. According to its settings, the host can use any means to attack."
"That's good then."
Chen Tian took a deep breath. That made things much better. After all, fighting with only water element attacks, Chen Tian was no match for the water dragon. Chen Tian also possessed the water element immunity ability, but the opponent's dragon claws were not skills; they were physical damage. Even if the dragon claws were composed of water elements, they were physical attacks, not water element attacks. Chen Tian's figure blurred into afterimages as he charged directly at the water dragon. Striking first was key. He couldn't afford to be on the defensive. The gap between them was too vast. If Chen Tian couldn't seize the initiative, death would be his end.
Seeing Chen Tian attack proactively, the water dragon became enraged. As the apex of the dragon race, the dragon was the king of beasts. To be underestimated by a mere human boy and attacked right in front of it was an outright provocation to the water dragon and the dragon race.
The water dragon roared, its entire body transforming into a water sword, charging straight at Chen Tian. Chen Tian unleashed his fists, starlight and flowing light emanating from his knuckles, imbued with the five elements and intertwined with black and white. Three energies converged, and his fists, carrying terrifying power, closed in on the water dragon. His fists collided with the water dragon's head, and shockwaves spread, shattering the surrounding seawater.
A vacuum zone appeared, turning seawater into land. Chen Tian further amplified his strength, his power erupting a hundredfold. Both Chen Tian and the water dragon were pushed back. The water dragon roared, opening its maw and unleashing torrents of water stream blades. A sky full of blades appeared before Chen Tian. Chen Tian channeled the power of the earth element in his hands, and a massive earth wall erupted from the ground, shielding him. The countless water stream blades struck the earth wall, causing cracks to appear. One side commanded absolute mastery of the water element, while the other commanded absolute mastery of the earth element. The elemental clash between Chen Tian and the water dragon was essentially a draw. The blades vanished, and Chen Tian's earth wall returned to the earth.
Seawater covered the land, and the empty space was swallowed by the ocean. The last thing the ocean lacked was seawater. No matter how much seawater evaporated, as long as the surrounding seawater remained, the empty space would be filled.
The water dragon swung its claws, and a sapphire blue water dragon claw descended towards Chen Tian's head. Chen Tian conjured an earth element longsword, which he swung horizontally. A yellow sword light collided with the water dragon's claw. Chen Tian felt immense pressure and used his arm to deflect the force, his figure gracefully retreating backward.
He had to admit, the dragon race's strength was immense. Chen Tian's full-power sword strike was almost as fragile as paper. One more claw strike like that and Chen Tian would be dead. Chen Tian activated the full effect of "The More You Fight, The Stronger You Get," causing his attributes to surge fivefold. His current attributes reached that of a Bai Lie Level Eighty-nine player, just a few levels shy of the water dragon's level.
However, Chen Tian's aura was identical to the water dragon's. His entire body was covered in golden armor. Chen Tian glanced at his backpack and then thought internally, "System, use three Skill Level Evolution Cards to evolve 'The More You Fight, The Stronger You Get' to its highest level."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host. God-tier skill 'The More You Fight, The Stronger You Get' has been upgraded to Demonic Destruction Grade."
"Ding! The amplification of 'The More You Fight, The Stronger You Get' has increased to 5000%."
"Ding, 'The More You Fight, The Stronger You Get' has evolved: Godly Armor."
Godly Armor: Upon activating this ability, the effects of 'The More You Fight, The Stronger You Get' are amplified by one hundred times the numerical value.
(Note: Requires the host's constitution value to be within the acceptable range. An overly powerful physique may lead to self-destruction.)
Chen Tian saw that "The More You Fight, The Stronger You Get" had reached its highest level. The Skill Level Evolution Cards were obtained from defeating bosses in the past. Chen Tian, having defeated countless bosses, possessed many items. However, he had saved these three cards. His luck was good, three consecutive cards, bringing the level to its maximum. Chen Tian's aura surged continuously. The original amplification was only a thousand, but now it was five thousand. On top of the original values, Chen Tian was even more powerful.
Chen Tian's aura instantly surpassed the water dragon's. Both figures transformed into streaks of light. The water dragon opened its mouth, unleashing countless Water Dragon Bullets. Chen Tian's earth element longsword erupted with sword light, and he consecutively slashed outwards, instantly cleaving all the Water Dragon Bullets in two.
Explosions thundered behind Chen Tian. True men never look back at explosions. Chen Tian continued to charge towards the water dragon.
The water dragon spun its entire body, and terrifying water currents converged, transforming it into a swirling water vortex. The earth element longsword in Chen Tian's hand was gradually covered in ice crystals. He raised the sword high, and a purple-yellow beam of light shot from the sword towards the ocean's surface. Chen Tian gripped the sword hilt tightly and performed a sweeping, spinning motion.
The sword beam struck the water vortex, halting its rotation. Chen Tian's beam struck the water dragon's body, causing it to roar in pain.
This move was a God-tier spell from the immortal cultivation world: Water-Earth Extinguishing Light Slash.
It was a killer move formed by converging water and earth elements onto a longsword. Now, Chen Tian wielded it with power amplified hundreds of times. The reason was simple: Chen Tian's mastery over the earth and water elements was absolute, surpassing the highest level of control.
Whether in the immortal cultivation world, the divine realm, or the game, wherever water and earth elements existed, Chen Tian possessed absolute mastery. This had become his innate ability.
Chen Tian performed a beautiful sword flourish, which formed a water element sword lotus. Yellow earth petals covered the lotus, followed by blue petals. A three-colored sword lotus appeared before Chen Tian. Chen Tian swung his sword, and the three-colored elemental sword lotus flew towards the water dragon.
The water dragon sensed a crisis from this move, facing a formidable enemy. All its water elements solidified, forming dragon scales of water that seemed as real as actual scales, covering its entire body.
The moment the dragon scales appeared, Chen Tian's sword lotus struck the water dragon's head. A mushroom cloud of water waves erupted, vaporizing the seawater within a hundred-mile radius. However, the surrounding seawater continuously replenished the void.
Elemental Sword Lotus was a top-tier martial art from the divine realm, a signature technique of a deity serving the God-Lord Chen Tian. This move combined water element, water spirit flame, and earth element. The ensuing explosion from the chaotic convergence of these three elemental energies was something even Chen Tian dared not endure head-on.
From within the explosion, the water dragon's figure emerged. Its movement speed erupted, and Chen Tian lost sight of it, being slammed away in an instant.
Chen Tian checked the water dragon's stats. Its health hadn't decreased, but its Divine Armor was depleted. In the game, Divine Armor was equivalent to one thousand Vital Points. This meant Chen Tian's previous attack had dealt over a hundred million damage, reducing the water dragon's armor to zero.
With its armor gone, the subsequent attacks would deplete its health. Chen Tian could slowly grind down the water dragon's health.
Chen Tian made up his mind. He would take it slow, absolutely no mistakes. He was facing a dragon race, and their consciousness and judgment were similar to humans. A single misstep could put him at a disadvantage. Chen Tian mentally simulated various scenarios, fully prepared. His figure blurred into afterimages, and countless sword lights shot out from these afterimages. Under the cover of the sword lights, the water dragon roared to the sky, its entire body enveloped by water elements, forming a protective sphere.
Innumerable sword lights struck the water sphere, yet it remained unyielding. The water sphere exploded, and a figure appeared before Chen Tian. Chen Tian looked at the young man before him. The water dragon spoke, "Human, you are quite skilled. To be a worthy opponent, I shall reluctantly fight in your form."
"Shapeshifting?"
Chen Tian observed the water dragon's human form. This made the fight even more difficult. In its human form, its speed was even harder to track than before. Its previous massive body allowed for easy damage output.
The water dragon clenched its claws, and its figure turned into a blue light. Chen Tian did not hesitate, unleashing his fists. Bang, bang, bang – continuous collisions. His fists met its claws, and shockwaves constantly spread, like the clash of wild beasts.
After the collision, the water dragon retreated three steps more than Chen Tian. The victor was clear; Chen Tian had gained the upper hand. The water dragon showed a hint of interest, its aura soaring. Water Dragon Ripples covered its body, its inner power erupting. It took a step forward, and its figure vanished. Chen Tian couldn't sense its presence even by perceiving the heavens and earth.
Its speed was on a completely different level compared to before. Chen Tian instinctively backflipped several times, standing in his original position as an explosion occurred. Blue-gold wings unfurled from Chen Tian's back, with a gentle breeze swirling around them. His figure disappeared, and the entire ocean fell silent.
Within the ocean, empty spaces appeared and disappeared, and explosions reverberated, shockwaves spreading.
Though neither of them was visible, inexplicably, such reactions occurred.
