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

Seeing this, Lin Yuan knew that the time to end the match had come. He directly increased the mana output of the Gravity Pull skill, which changed the direction of the gravity field and generated a powerful reverse suction force.

The suction force pulled the exhausted archer right in front of Lin Yuan. The archer lost his balance and fell forward involuntarily, completely losing his defensive posture.

Lin Yuan raised the heavy shield in his left hand and slammed it into the opponent's shoulder with a shield bash. This heavy physical blow immediately stunned the archer, preventing him from making any evasive maneuvers.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yuan slammed his right foot heavily onto the arena floor, activating the War Stomp skill. The ground tremor once again caused physical impact on the archer and further extended the stun duration.

In the instant the archer was under continuous control and unable to resist, Lin Yuan gripped the shield handles tightly with both hands, raised the shield, and charged forward. His massive body, shield and all, slammed heavily into the archer.

The powerful physical impact sent the opponent flying. The archer's body arced through the air, crossed the boundary line of the arena, and landed heavily on the ground outside the arena.

According to the rules of the ring, falling out of the ring boundary means defeat. The referee immediately waved his flag and loudly announced that Lin Yuan had won the duel, ending the match.

Lin Yuan encountered no obstacles and easily won the match. His name flashed on the big screen, indicating that he had successfully advanced to the school's top 64 list.

After finishing his match, Lin Yuan stepped down from the ring.

However, he did not leave the Central Arena immediately, because there was another major event scheduled for the afternoon.

Ji Qingyue was scheduled to play in the afternoon's match. Lin Yuan was particularly interested in this match and wanted to stay and observe the actual gameplay.

During the lunch break, Lin Yuan had a quick lunch at the canteen inside the arena before returning to the competition area.

Lin Yuan arrived early near the arena where Ji Qingyue was to compete that afternoon. He found an empty seat in the front row of the audience and sat down quietly, waiting for Ji Qingyue to appear.

During the summer vacation, he learned that Ji Qingyue had returned to her family in the capital city specifically to become stronger in the upcoming competition.

Large families often possess deep-rooted traditions and can provide unique resources and training methods that universities cannot offer.

Some time had passed since the end of summer vacation, and Lin Yuan knew that the Ji family in the capital usually had very strict sword training methods, so he was also a little curious.

He was very curious about how much Ji Qingyue's strength had changed after the family's special training this summer.

The afternoon matches officially began, and Lin Yuan sat in the front row of the audience, his eyes fixed on the main arena in the central arena.

The surrounding seats were filled with students who had come to watch the game. The noise from the conversations was quite loud, and everyone was looking forward to the main event in the afternoon. Suddenly, the huge high-definition screen above the arena lit up.

The data on the screen began to refresh rapidly, and the specific match information for the first game of the afternoon was displayed directly on the screen.

Upon seeing the information on the big screen, the entire audience erupted in a huge gasp, and the match immediately drew the attention of everyone in the stadium.

This was not an ordinary arena match, but a very rare duel between two legendary professional players.

Among the thousands of students at the War Academy, the number of legendary professions is also very limited. The large screen is divided into two parts, with the left side displaying Ji Qingyue's detailed personal panel information.

It says that Ji Qingyue is a second-year student, has reached level 50, and has the legendary class Taiyi Sword Immortal.

On the right side of the big screen was the detailed information of her opponent in this match, which stated that his name was Murong Bai and that he was a senior student.

Murong Bai's level also reached level 50, and his class was the legendary class, Destruction Gun King.

The direct clash of stats between two level 50 classes and two legendary classes excited all the students present, and pre-battle analysis echoed throughout the audience.

Everyone was enthusiastically discussing the difference in strength between the two sides on paper. Murong Bai's name was very well-known in the War Academy. He was a top expert in his senior year and had been at the top of the combat rankings for many years. Not only had he reached level 50, but more importantly, he had completed his job advancement.

Completing the job advancement means that his basic attributes have been greatly improved, and he has unlocked higher-level job-specific skills.

Murong Bai's Destruction Gun King class has very distinct characteristics. This class is known for its extreme single-target burst damage and shield-breaking ability that ignores defense.

In contrast, Ji Qingyue, despite her high talent, caused a sensation when she entered the school, and her current level has also reached level fifty.

However, she hadn't had time to complete the level 50 qualitative leap advancement quest and hadn't finished the job change advancement, so she was at a significant disadvantage in terms of basic stats.

The older students in the stands shook their heads, believing that the outcome of the match was already a foregone conclusion.

The difference in level and advancement is magnified infinitely in the duel between legendary professions. At this moment, on the sixth arena, Ji Qingyue held a long sword and stood quietly watching her opponent.

Ji Qingyue looked at her imposing level 50 opponent, Murong Bai, with an unusually calm expression. There was no tension or fear on her face.

……

During the summer vacation, she did not choose to stay at school or go to the wilderness for training.

Ji Qingyue felt a sense of urgency. She knew how powerful Lin Yuan was and how fast he was improving. In order to keep up with Lin Yuan and not fall further behind, she needed to find a way to quickly improve her strength.

So Ji Qingyue resolutely packed her bags and returned to the Ji family in the capital to seek a way to become stronger.

Upon returning to her family, she went directly to the family's main hall and met with her father, the current head of the Ji family, and expressed her desire to become stronger.

Ji Qingyue's father sat in the main seat looking at his daughter. He could see the determination in her eyes and her desire for power.

As the head of the Ji family, he was well aware of the competitive pressure his daughter faced. The War Academy was full of geniuses, and it was not easy to stand out in the nomination competition.

The nomination round is held every four years, meaning that if you miss this one, you won't have another chance.

To fulfill his daughter's desire to become stronger, Ji Qingyue's father made a significant decision: he would open the family's ancestral inheritance ground for Ji Qingyue ahead of schedule, even though this was opposed by several family elders who believed that opening the ancestral inheritance ground for Ji Qingyue was far too early.
