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

Just then, Lu Yun and Ouyang Lingyun arrived in front of Lin Yuan ahead of Xia Chen.

Lu Yun chuckled, "Not bad, not bad! Lin Yuan, you've really given me a huge surprise!"

Lu Yun took a deep breath to calm his excitement.

Do you know what you've done?

"Nationwide, even worldwide, I've never heard of anyone reaching level 9 in the beginner dungeon on their very first day after job advancement!"

This is a genuine record!

Moreover, it is highly likely that this is the kind of thing that has never been done before and will be difficult to replicate in the future.

Once this news gets to the higher-ups, not only will Lin Yuan benefit, but their academy will also receive preferential treatment in terms of resources!

Ouyang Lingyun, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but chime in.

"That's right, Lao Lu is right."

The city lord, who usually exuded an imposing aura even without anger, looked at Lin Yuan as if he were looking at his own son-in-law...

Bah! They are the future pillars of humanity!

"As far as I can remember, the youngest of the top ten strongest people in our country broke the record back then."

"Back then, he leveled up to level 8 on the very first day."

"But this is different from you."

"He was able to improve so quickly because of his legendary profession, which gave him an innate talent."

"Furthermore, he received strong support and protection from the government immediately upon his job change."

"The top ten strongest?"

Lin Yuan raised a question, as he was still somewhat curious about it.

During the three years of high school, the school mainly teaches theoretical knowledge, such as the weaknesses of monsters and the mechanics of dungeons.

As for the gossip surrounding these top experts, it's rarely mentioned in textbooks.

They would only mention it occasionally, saying that a certain powerful figure had wreaked havoc in a national war or had killed a certain demon king.

He didn't really know the specifics.

However, besides this, Lin Yuan was also curious about what kind of talent this powerful person had awakened.

He thought he was the first case, gaining talent after successfully changing jobs.

Seeing that Lin Yuan was interested, Ouyang Lingyun explained a few more words.

"The person I'm talking about is Chen Qingxuan, who is currently ranked tenth."

"The profession he awakened to is unique to our Chinese nation—the Celestial Master."

Unique professions are a reflection of the cultural heritage of each country.

For example, the Celestial Master of China, the Onmyoji of Japan, and the Feathered Serpent Priest of the Silver Kingdom.

These professions often have extremely high skill ceilings and employ unpredictable and bizarre methods.

Of course, there are also differences between specific professions.

For example, the shikigami summoning skills that Japanese Onmyoji are skilled at are considered by the people of China to be nothing more than a low-quality version.

Ouyang Lingyun continued to bait the issue: "Oh, by the way, weren't you very interested in the War Academy?"

"Chen Qingxuan also graduated from the War Academy, and he was listed as an honorary mentor in the academy."

"If you're lucky, you might even get to attend one of his classes."

Lin Yuan nodded and memorized the name.

Celestial Master Chen Qingxuan.

It seems the world is even more wonderful than I imagined.

If you're going to take the exam, then you should aim for the best school and meet the most outstanding people.

Seeing that the time was right, Ouyang Lingyun extended an invitation.

"Lin Yuan, when are you free? You can come and visit the City Lord's Mansion."

He pointed to his daughter, who hadn't said a word, standing beside him.

"Anyway, you and Xiaoxue know each other. You're classmates and the best students in this year's class, so you can get to know each other better."

"Let's exchange ideas."

Upon hearing this, the students who had been eavesdropping nearby were heartbroken.

The city lord personally invited me!

What kind of treatment is this?

Moreover, judging from these words, it seems like they're trying to matchmake Lin Yuan and the school beauty Ouyang Xue?

This isn't a casual visit; it's clearly a meeting with the parents!

Wang Hao's face turned green in the crowd.

He looked at the ice crystal staff in his hand, and then at Lin Yuan's bronze suit.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had no choice but to bow his head at this moment; the gap was too great.

He was consumed by jealousy.

He also noticed that Chen Xiaoman's gaze towards Lin Yuan was different again!

This made him furious.

Just when everyone thought it was just a polite invitation.

Ouyang Xue, who had always been as aloof as an iceberg, suddenly spoke.

There was a slight unnaturalness on her otherwise flawless face.

She looked at Lin Yuan, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"you're good."

The voice was crisp and clear, and although it was still somewhat cold, it lacked the aloofness that kept people at arm's length.

"I'd like to share my experience in killing monsters with you."

She was sincere; she wanted to surpass Lin Yuan, and she still harbored that thought. However, that didn't stop her from wanting to have a deeper conversation with Lin Yuan.

She's a gunner with explosive damage output, but she's also fragile.

Lin Yuan is a pure tank, very tough.

Their two professions are a match made in heaven... no, they're the perfect partners.

In other words, Ouyang Xue was unaware that Lin Yuan's attack capabilities were actually quite strong, otherwise she would probably be dumbfounded.

Immediately afterwards, Ouyang Xue seemed to have thought of something and added another sentence.

"Well, also, I guess with your fighting style, you might need a skilled blacksmith to regularly repair your equipment. My dad has one, I can introduce you to one."

"If it's my friend, it should be repaired for free."

"puff--"

Ouyang Lingyun, who was standing to the side, almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He stared wide-eyed at his beloved little darling.

My daughter!

I did want you to have a chat and get to know each other better.

But you're moving way too fast!

They've only exchanged a few words, and they're already siding with outsiders?

That's the official blacksmith your father hired at a high price!

You just made that promise of free repairs?

Do you know how much it costs to hire that master for one treatment?

Ouyang Lingyun was in a real dilemma.

He discreetly observed his daughter's expression.

Although he still had a cold demeanor, his eyes were very serious.

broken!

Could this girl have feelings for Lin Yuan?

Although Lin Yuan is indeed quite good-looking, he has a bit of my style from back in the day.

But that's such a huge loss!

In fact, Ouyang Lingyun had just extended the invitation because he wanted to do Lin Yuan a favor by "introducing a blacksmith".

The result was good.

My daughter snatched it away and gave it away for free!

Where does this leave him, the city lord, with his pride?

Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and his expression changed instantly as he looked at Ouyang Xue.

How can she be considered a school beauty?

She's clearly a rich woman!

Moreover, she's a reasonable and helpful rich woman!

He had been thinking that although his bronze equipment was powerful, it was getting hit too many times and its durability was dropping very quickly.

A regular blacksmith shop can handle repairing basic blacksmith items and black iron, but to repair bronze sets, especially those with set bonuses, you'll need a skilled blacksmith.
