I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

If you lose, then get out of here and stop making a fool of yourself.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan scratched his head helplessly.

He glanced at the shield behind Wang Gang, then pointed to himself: "Senior, you are the Giant Shield Guardian, and I am the Unbreakable Barrier."

"We're both... the kind of pure defensive classes that's as tough as a tortoise shell, with negligible attack power. You want me to fight you?"

Lin Yuan shrugged, looking speechless. "How are we supposed to compete? Are we supposed to stand face to face, and you bump into me, and I bump into you?"

"Should we just stare at each other and see who starves to death first?"

"They could fight until tomorrow morning and still not have a winner!"

"Pfft"

The support girl, Su Qing, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Indeed, the sight of two pure tanks fighting is simply too beautiful to bear.

It's basically just two iron lumps grinding against each other, a pure waste of time.

Wang Gang was stumped, his face flushing red: "Then let's compare our resilience! Find someone to attack us and see who can withstand it the longest!"

"No need for that."

Just then, Tang Yu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

She walked between the two men, looked at Wang Gang, then glanced around at everyone, and said, "Wang Gang, and everyone else, I know you're not convinced."

"However," Tang Yu pointed to Lin Yuan beside him, took a deep breath, "just twenty minutes ago, this junior brother Lin Yuan just soloed the Black Iron Dwarf Mine and Blade Mantis Valley."

"And they're all on hellish difficulty!"

"Furthermore," Tang Yu added, noticing the stunned expressions on everyone's faces, "we broke the historical clear records for two dungeons!"

"Especially Blade Mantis Valley, he only took 18 minutes!"

The entire room fell silent!

The fireball in Zhang Lie's hand went out immediately.

Wang Gang opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say or write; his brain had clearly gone blank.

As elite second-year students, they were all too aware of the significance of these two dungeons.

Especially Blade Mantis Valley!

That was a terrifying place where even their full-strength squad had to proceed with extreme caution and utmost care!

Of course, that refers to the past. Now their levels are all above 35, so naturally they can no longer enter dungeons below level 30.

18 minutes?

Is that a speed that a human could achieve?

"Tang Yu, you...you're joking, right?"

Holy Knight Chen Feng swallowed hard and chuckled dryly, "Is today April Fool's Day? A freshman soloing Hell difficulty? And he's a tank? How is that possible?!"

However, Tang Yu simply looked at them quietly, her eyes clear and open: "You know me. I, Tang Yu, never make jokes like this."

"If you don't believe me, you can open your bracelet now and check the real-time leaderboard in the dungeon lobby."

Everyone fell silent.

Indeed, Tang Yu is not the kind of person who would lie to speak up for a newcomer.

Moreover, such matters are easily investigated, so lying is pointless.

So, is this true?

Wang Gang's face instantly turned ashen.

He staggered back a step, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Lin Yuan changed from resentment to deep shock and self-doubt.

"Solo Hell"

"18 minutes"

"I...I can't do it."

"Don't even mention soloing, even if you paired me with a healer right now, I still couldn't withstand that level of siege."

"It seems... the school didn't choose the wrong person; I really am... less skilled."

After saying that, he lowered his head, silently turned around, and prepared to leave this place of sorrow.

"etc."

Just then, Captain Lei Xiao, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

His voice was deep and resonant, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

He strode to the center of the arena, where the aura emanating from his legendary profession and his own level was palpable!

"Wang Gang, don't rush off."

Lei Xiao glanced at Tang Yu, then fixed his gaze on Lin Yuan, his eyes burning with fighting spirit and curiosity.

"Tang Yu wouldn't lie; I believe that record is true."

"However, dungeons are static, but people are dynamic. Being good at soloing doesn't mean you're suitable for a team."

Lei Xiao looked at Lin Yuan, a wildly arrogant smile playing on his lips: "Lin Yuan, is that right? You're right, two tanks fighting each other is pointless."

"Since you're a defensive class, the best way to test you is to let you take the most damage!"

Lei Xiao slowly drew the heavy, dark red dragon spear from behind his back, its tip pointing directly at Lin Yuan:

"I!"

"Lei Xiao!"

"Level 41, Infernal Dragon Knight!"

"Since you want to see the strength of a second-year core member."

"Then I'll grant your wish!"

"Take these three moves!"

"If you can stand still and withstand three of my moves without falling, then..."

"I'd give you that captain's position!"

"But if you can't handle it..."

Lei Xiao's eyes turned cold: "That just means your defense is all show. When you get to Azure Island and face those top foreign geniuses, you'll only get the whole team killed!"

"How is it?"

"Do you dare to accept?!"

"Wang Gang can withstand three of my shots with his full defense, so I'm not making things difficult for you."

Lin Yuan did not back down; instead, he smiled.

He strode up to Lei Xiao and slammed the shield he was holding heavily on the ground.

"Thump!"

"What is there to be afraid of?"

Lin Yuan patted his shield, his eyes burning with the same frenzied fighting spirit: "Captain."

"Don't even mention three moves. If you can make me take a single step back, I'll consider it a loss!!"

"Don't even mention three moves. If you can make me take a single step back, I'll consider it a loss!!"

Lin Yuan's words were more than just confidence; they were downright arrogance!

The people around him widened their eyes instantly, staring at Lin Yuan as if he were a madman.

"Holy crap?! Is this kid crazy?!" Zhang Lie couldn't help but exclaim. "That's Boss Lei! A level 41 Infernal Dragon Knight! You don't really want to die, do you?"

"That shot dealt true damage and inflicted a burning dragon flame!"

"Even Wang Gang wouldn't dare say he wouldn't back down an inch, yet this kid dares to make such a boast?!"

Even the usually gentle Su Qing had her mouth slightly agape, her face filled with disbelief: "This junior is...so fierce."

In their eyes, Lin Yuan was courting death.

No matter how fast you clear dungeons, it's still just fighting monsters.

Standing before you now is a legendary professional, even more intelligent than a boss! And the level difference is a full 16 levels!

They had all been tempered in the Abyss Battlefield during their first year of freshman year practical assessments.

Therefore, it is clear that the difference between abyssal monsters and dungeon monsters lies not only in the difference in attributes, but also in intelligence!

If entering a dungeon can be considered a pre-descent dungeon game, then facing the abyss monsters is like facing a living, breathing race.

Some abyssal monsters are just as clever and cunning as humans.
