Chen's and Hui Mie's storm also collided. With a burst of residual light speed, the entire sky instantly lit up with countless lights. Chen's fists were swung directly at Hui Mie's face. Hui Mie's curved blades on his arms also slashed out. Instantly, fists and curved blades collided, making crackling sounds, the sound of blades hitting armor. Sparks flew, and then Chen changed his move and directly struck out with both hands.
Hui Mie, seeing Chen's attack shift to his chest armor, decisively joined his arms together. Instantly, a shield unfurled. With a clang, Chen's fist struck the shield, causing it to dent severely, but it couldn't break. It was as if the shield were made of cotton.
Chen threw several more punches, but they had no effect. At the same time, Hui Mie spread his arms, and the curved blades on his arm armor moved in unison, slashing out. Instantly, two beams of light flashed, and Chen had to retreat.
Then, Hui Mie's figure charged towards Chen, the wrist blades on his arm armor continuously hacking out. Chen activated his ultimate evasion, dodging left and right to evade the opponent's attacks. Hui Mie was astonished by Chen's evasion speed. This guy's evasion rate was too high. He had attacked hundreds of moves without landing a single hit?
Chen's eyes narrowed. He instantly reached out with both hands, grabbed Hui Mie's arms, and forcefully threw him back. Simultaneously, his left leg kicked out. With a thud, his left leg struck Hui Mie's chest armor. Hui Mie's figure was sent flying back, and he stabilized himself.
Chen's figure instantly appeared before Hui Mie, his fists entwined with starlight. The armor and starlight merged together, making his formidable fists seem even more powerful than before.
Chen's profession was Starlight Emperor, so his armor and starlight were enhanced by his characteristics, doubling their effect.
This punch surpassed Hui Mie's strength. Seeing this, Hui Mie roared, "Not good!"
He was no match for Chen's punch. He could only reveal his profession, but this was the only way. Since one of Chen's professions had been revealed, there was no need for him to hide. White airflow coiled around Hui Mie's fists, and then he swung them out. Instantly, four fists collided. Chen felt his fists' power constantly diminishing, while the opponent's fist power also decreased.
Then, Chen performed a full-body inverted spinning kick, launching his left leg. Hui Mie reacted quickly, crossing his arms inward, then colliding and swinging them up. Chen's figure was instantly flung away.
Chen looked at Hui Mie and said, "You're an Assimilator, a hidden profession. I didn't expect you to be a hidden profession player too!"
"Do you think I could be a guild leader without any skill?"
Hui Mie said proudly. Chen's expression turned grave. The Assimilator profession's ability was to assimilate both sides' strengths. This was usually a sub-profession, meaning his main profession had not been revealed. However, Chen didn't care. It would be revealed eventually. Chen found the Assimilator's ability troublesome, as it could assimilate any level of power to the same tier.
This resulted in a constant draw, which was very frustrating!
Countless images flashed through Chen's mind. He was calculating how to defeat the opponent. If the opponent's sub-profession was Assimilator, it would be difficult to handle!
Hui Mie dared not delay any longer. Revealing one hidden profession was already a lot. The three guilds didn't dare to reveal too much of their strength, as it would be disadvantageous. They would have disputes in the future, and hiding a trump card or two would be helpful. Therefore, the guild leaders of the three guilds were all hiding their methods.
Chen and Hui Mie looked at each other. Hui Mie attacked instantly, appearing before Chen in a flash. His claws lunged at Chen, as if to tear him apart with one swipe.
Chen raised his arm armor, instantly blocking the opponent's claws. Claw marks appeared on the armor, but they were not as deep as those left by the curved blades before.
Seeing this, Hui Mie exclaimed, "Characteristic boost? It made your armor so strong. Damn it!"
Then he kicked towards Chen. Chen's figure flickered, instantly turning into a shadow and appearing behind Hui Mie. At the same time, the starlight longsword on his arm armor slowly emerged. Swords of light slashed from both arms. Two crescent-shaped beams of light swept across, and instantly, the arm armor's curved blades and the arm armor's longsword collided.
Chen said, "If I don't engage in a power contest with you and use weapons, your assimilation ability will be useless!"
This was the drawback of the Assimilator profession. It could only assimilate punches, kicks, and physical strength. Weapon and skill damage would not be equalized. Hui Mie seemed expressionless, and then their longswords and curved blades continuously clashed.
Chen's arm armor longsword swept left and right, sword light flashing. Curved blade light flashed. Instantly, the sounds of clanging echoed throughout the sky.
Chen's arm armor longsword swept horizontally towards Hui Mie's neck. But Hui Mie's arm armor raised, and his curved blade collided with the longsword. Then, the curved blade on his other arm attacked from Chen's right, heading directly for Chen's neck.
Chen made no move. His left-hand longsword pierced directly into the opponent's chest armor. Instantly, Hui Mie's figure retreated. Chen calmly looked at Hui Mie. He had already calculated the scenario, so Chen was not flustered at all.
Hui Mie, on the other hand, was somewhat shocked by Chen's composure. If he hadn't chosen to retreat just now, it would have been a situation of mutual destruction.
But the opponent was too calm, as if he knew he didn't want mutual destruction. Because Hui Mie's curved blade was already close to Chen's neck, Chen hadn't moved an inch. And Chen's longsword tip was also close to Hui Mie's chest armor. Hui Mie didn't want mutual destruction, so he chose to retreat. He thought Chen would retreat first, but he lost in the psychological battle because he moved first.
"If it weren't for your armor's characteristics, I wouldn't have been afraid of your fighting style just now," Hui Mie complained. Chen smirked. Indeed, the previous Star Destruction Armor couldn't compare to the opponent's armor. The opponent's armor quality was several stars higher than Chen's, and Chen couldn't break through his defense.
But with the starlight power enhancement, the entire armor's effect doubled, naturally including the starlight longsword. Thus, Chen's longsword could contend with the opponent's curved blade.
However, Hui Mie knew that both sides' weapons were now of the same quality. He clenched his hands, and instantly a long spear appeared in Hui Mie's hand. It was a sapphire-colored spear with red patterns etched along its shaft. At the butt of the spear, a crystal was embedded, half red and half blue. At the spearhead, wing-shaped frames were joined, with a diamond-shaped spearhead enclosed by wings on all sides.
The spear shaft was covered with a layer of red and blue light film. Chen could feel elemental energy. Chen asked, "Is your main profession elemental, or is this weapon's elemental power?"
Hui Mie replied, "Guess!"
Chen remained silent, indicating he couldn't guess. After all, any spear class player could use spear weapons, and there were many types of weapon attributes and player professions. How could Chen possibly guess? The moment the long spear appeared, Hui Mie's attack immediately came towards Chen. The spearhead shot towards Chen's body, turning into a stream of light that instantly pierced through Chen's body. Hui Mie became cautious, and then pointed his spearhead directly at his own head.
Instantly, with a clang, Hui Mie looked at Chen above him. A pair of dual blades had appeared above Chen's head. The longsword on his arm armor had retracted. Then, Chen flipped, and countless blades rained down from above Hui Mie towards his head.
Hui Mie wielded his long spear with both hands, deflecting the countless blades. Then, Hui Mie moved away from his original position. Chen's figure appeared before Hui Mie.
Hui Mie looked at the weapon in Chen's hand. It was a pair of dual blades. The entire body of the dual blades was silver, dotted with starlight, as if the whole blade was a galaxy. At the hilt, starlight-covered ripples extended. On the blade, a galaxy composed of starlight was engraved. On the back of the blade, countless starlight rays shimmered. The weapon in Chen's hand was the Star Cloud Meteorite Blade he had purchased.
With the starlight enhancement, the power of the dual blades surged. Hui Mie was shocked by Chen, as all of Chen's equipment seemed to be a set, and it matched his profession perfectly, as if it were custom-made.
He looked at his own spear and armor, which did not match. He envied Chen!
Chen swung his dual blades, nodding with satisfaction. The feel of the dual blades was good, and Chen even felt a sense of comfort, something he didn't feel with other dual blade weapons.
When Chen first encountered the game "Epoch of Time," he used dual blades. He was accustomed to them. His mastery of all professions also allowed him to wield all types of weapons, but Chen particularly loved dual blades, not for any other reason, but for the thrill he first experienced, which was truly addictive.
The first time Chen used dual blades was to slay small monsters like slimes. Chen and Hui Mie looked at each other, and a weapon battle was about to erupt. For player PK, it was best to avoid using creation skills if possible, because creation skills had long cooldowns and dealt significant damage, usually reserved as trump cards. Secondly, it was very difficult for a player to comprehend skills, so a player would only have a few skills at most and wouldn't use them until a critical moment in PK.
