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

.

In an instant, a vast expanse of dark clouds appeared out of thin air above the main arena, accompanied by a muffled and oppressive rumble of thunder.

Without any probing, Chen Yu immediately activated the level 58 Celestial Master advanced technique – Thunderous Prison!

"Boom!"

A vast expanse of deep purple lightning descended from the sky like a waterfall, carrying an aura of destruction and completely engulfing the area where Lin Yuan was located!

The thick bolt of lightning slammed into the arena floor, unleashing a deafening roar.

Even the hard floor, made of abyssal materials, was blasted into charred craters by the high-voltage lightning.

The students in the stands covered their ears, their scalps tingling with shock at the powerful thunder magic.

"Is this the power of a level 58 Divine Thunder Master? It's terrifying!"

Chen Yu sheathed his Celestial Master Sword and stared intently at the center of the raging lightning.

A moment later, the violent purple lightning gradually dissipated, and in the smoke and dust, Lin Yuan stood unharmed in the same spot, without even moving an inch.

He patted non-existent dust off his shoulders, as if he had just been caught in a light drizzle.

Just then, Chen Yu suddenly let out a muffled groan!

The counter-damage mechanism of [Eternal Calamity] is triggered instantly, and true damage descends.

Chen Yu's health bar dropped significantly in an instant, losing a full tenth of it!

Chen Yu felt the surging blood and qi within his body, clutched his chest, and took a half-step back. But when he saw this scene, he tilted his head back and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Good! That's great!"

Chen Yu exclaimed in praise, "Junior Brother Lin, your absolute defense and damage reflection mechanism truly live up to its reputation!"

"That was just an appetizer. Now, watch out for my attack!"

After saying that, Chen Yu raised the Celestial Master Sword again, and the lightning on his blade was frantically compressed and contained, and an even more violent storm was about to descend!

On the arena, the raging purple lightning gradually dissipated, turning into specks of drifting electricity.

As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, he suddenly swept his right hand across the void.

He didn't intend to continue testing with conventional lightning magic, as that would be a waste of mana and health.

He tossed the Celestial Master Sword into the air, and the sword hovered steadily above his head, with fine strands of lightning protecting his body.

Then, Chen Yu's hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and he pulled out a thick stack of golden talismans from his storage space.

The surface of these talismans was crackling with dazzling purple electricity.

Each talisman exudes a chilling aura of destruction, clearly not an ordinary item.

"That's the Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman, unique to the Chen family of the Northwest!"

In the audience, some discerning scions of prominent families immediately exclaimed in surprise, their voices filled with envy.

"Senior Chen Yu actually pulled out a whole stack of them all at once? There must be dozens of them!"

"This isn't a fight, it's clearly throwing money at people!"

"As expected of a direct descendant of a top-tier thunder magic family in the Northwest, their wealth is simply awe-inspiring!"

The audience was abuzz with discussion, all stunned by Chen Yu's extravagant fighting style.

On the arena, Chen Yu suddenly waved his hands, and dozens of golden lightning talismans shot into the sky.

These talismans rapidly arranged and combined in mid-air, forming a vast and complex rune array.

The formation quickly surrounded Lin Yuan, sealing off all his escape routes.

"Junior Lin, watch out!"

Chen Yu shouted and suddenly clasped his hands together.

"Thunder Magic - Myriad Symbols Bombard the Top!"

In an instant, the rune array in mid-air shone brightly, and the dazzling golden light illuminated the entire main arena.

Dozens of purple lightning bolts, thicker than water buckets, struck down simultaneously from the formation.

The entire arena was instantly engulfed by a raging ocean of lightning.

The deafening roar continued incessantly, causing the protective shield of the entire main arena to ripple violently.

Lin Yuan, who was in the eye of the lightning, did not make any move to avoid it and stood calmly in place.

The raging lightning struck his armor and his shoulders mercilessly.

Not only did it not cause any real damage, but it was completely blocked by that passive defense.

[Attacked by a level 58 Divine Thunder Master, Defense Points +7]

[Attacked by a level 58 Divine Thunder Master, Defense Points +7]

[Attacked by a level 58 Divine Thunder Master, Defense Points +7]

For Lin Yuan, this dense barrage of lightning was nothing short of a super feast for leveling up his passive abilities.

Outside the rune array, Chen Yu's expression was changing rapidly.

With each bolt of heavenly lightning striking Lin Yuan, an unreasonable and real counter-damage would be triggered simultaneously.

The invisible, real wounds crossed space, repeatedly and heavily striking Chen Yu's chest.

Chen Yu's health bar began to drop rapidly at a visible rate.

Eighty percent... sixty percent... fifty percent!

The barrage of talismans that lasted only a few seconds not only failed to take down Lin Yuan, but also reduced Chen Yu to half health!

"puff!"

Chen Yu felt a sweet taste in his throat and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his Taoist robe red.

He dared not continue attacking and quickly cut off his mana output.

The Heavenly Thunder Talisman in mid-air exhausted its energy and instantly turned into ashes, dissipating in the wind.

The lightning completely subsided, and Lin Yuan remained standing there as steady as Mount Tai.

He didn't even take a single step back, let alone get injured.

"Senior, this money-spending tactic is indeed flashy, but it seems to be more damaging to you."

Lin Yuan looked at Chen Yu, who was vomiting blood, and made a lighthearted joke.

Chen Yu casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Instead of being angry, he burst into laughter again.

"Haha! That's satisfying! That's so satisfying! This damage reflection mechanism is simply unsolvable!"

Chen Yu's eyes flashed with an almost frenzied fighting spirit; he knew that ordinary methods would never be enough to defeat Lin Yuan.

Even a large number of talismans will only lead to your premature death.

"Junior Lin, since external aids are useless, then I'll show you my true trump card!"

As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, a thunderous pressure several times stronger than before suddenly erupted from his body.

This is his first exclusive talent ability—Thunderous Holy Body!

Once this talent is activated, Chen Yu's lightning spell damage will receive a terrifying 100% increase.

Moreover, the Thunderous Body will also form an extremely thick thunderous shield on his body.

This shield can absorb a large amount of damage.

Chen Yu raised his hand and grasped the Celestial Master Sword that was floating above his head, and his aura rose to its peak.

The lightning on the Celestial Master Sword instantly changed from its original purple color to a dazzling pure white.

The white lightning contained the aura of a law that could destroy everything.

"Take this! Heavenly Punishment - Wrath of Thor!"

Chen Yu's figure flashed, transforming into a white lightning bolt, so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to catch it.

He instantly crossed half the arena and appeared directly above Lin Yuan.

Chen Yu raised the Celestial Master Sword high with both hands, unleashing a torrent of pure white lightning power, and slashed fiercely down at Lin Yuan's face.

The destructive power of this sword strike has already faintly touched the threshold of a level 60 expert!

Lin Yuan looked up at the pure white lightning bolts striking down from mid-air and finally made a move to respond.

He didn't use any fancy defensive skills.

He simply raised the Shield of the Thousand Devouring Dragon in his left hand, holding it in a standard defensive stance.

"boom!!!!"

Pure white lightning struck the shield heavily, unleashing a tremendous energy storm.

The hard ground of the main arena cracked instantly, and countless pieces of stone were swept into the air by the violent shockwave.

"clang!"

Amidst the crisp metallic clanging sound, Lin Yuan's legs bent slightly.

But this terrifying impact only made him bend his legs slightly before he stood firmly on his feet.

The damage from this attack was indeed extremely strong, but trying to break through his millions of defense panels was still a pipe dream.

At the same time, the domineering 7% true damage reflection of maximum health from [Eternal Destruction] was triggered again!

An invisible wave of destructive energy instantly rebounded back onto Chen Yu.

The lightning shield that Chen Yu was so proud of shattered instantly upon contact with this true injury, as if it were made of paper.

The true damage ignored all shields and damage reduction effects, slamming heavily into the depths of Chen Yu's body.

"Ugh!"

Chen Yu let out a cry of pain as he was thrown away by the enormous recoil.

He tumbled more than a dozen times in mid-air before crashing heavily onto the edge of the ring.

He quickly plunged the Celestial Master Sword into the ground, barely managing to create a long streak of sparks and steady himself.

At this moment, the screen showed that Chen Yu's health bar had dropped to an extremely dangerous 15%!

The tens of thousands of spectators were completely silent, all speechless with shock at the bizarre and one-sided battle scene.

Inside the vast arena, only the lingering echoes of thunder could be heard.

"This is outrageous! Lin Yuan didn't even use a single proactive attack skill from beginning to end!"

"Senior Chen Yu unleashed a barrage of high-level attacks, almost killing himself in the process?"

"Lin Yuan's tankiness and his insane counter-damage are incredible. I think even a true Abyss Demon Lord would be worn down and killed by him!"

The senior instructors in the stands exchanged glances, secretly marveling at the situation.

This completely unreasonable combat mechanism has far exceeded their previous teaching and understanding.

On the arena, Chen Yu leaned on his Celestial Master Sword, knelt on one knee, and gasped for breath.

His Taoist robe was stained red with blood, and his hand holding the sword was trembling violently uncontrollably.

But when he looked up at Lin Yuan, his eyes were incredibly bright. There was no fear of defeat in his eyes, only an extreme fervor for the battle.

"Junior Lin, you win. I can't hurt you with conventional methods, let alone withstand your true counterattack."

"However, I'm still your senior, how can I just give up so easily!"

Chen Yu suddenly drew his Celestial Master Sword, gritted his teeth, and stood up straight.

Instead of admitting defeat, he activated his second exclusive talent ability, which he had kept hidden for a long time—[Annihilation Lightning Tribulation]!

This is an absolutely forbidden talent that would inflict a thousand damage on the enemy while also causing eight hundred damage to oneself.

Once activated, the [Annihilation Tribulation] will force Chen Yu to sacrifice all his remaining mana, physical strength, and even a portion of his life essence.

In exchange for this ultimate divine lightning bolt that is absolutely unavoidable and has the effect of ignoring defense!

The power of this divine lightning will be more than three times that of his strongest attack!

However, once this move is used, regardless of whether the enemy is dead or not, he himself will fall into a state of complete paralysis and weakness, making him completely vulnerable to being slaughtered.

Chen Yu slammed the Celestial Master Sword into the broken stone slab in front of him, his hands frantically and rapidly forming hand seals.

The previously listless aura of lightning on his body suddenly swelled to an extremely terrifying level.

The once clear sky above the main arena turned into a pitch-black night sky.

Thick, black clouds of calamity churned and collided wildly in the sky.

Deep within the clouds, a colossal thunder dragon, formed from high-pressure purple lightning, is rapidly taking shape!

The destructive aura emanating from this thunder dragon made the audience outside the magical protective barrier feel a tightness in their chests.

"Look up at the sky! What kind of monstrous ultimate skill is that?"

"Senior Chen Yu is risking his life! If that blow lands, will the ring still stand?"

This caused a stir in the audience, with many students even instinctively standing up.

Principal Fang Zhentian sat on the high-level observation platform, his brows slightly furrowed.

He made a gesture to the instructor next to him who was in charge of maintaining the formation.

The mentor understood immediately and increased the energy output of the main arena's magical defensive barrier as a precaution.

On the arena, Lin Yuan looked at the enormous, lifelike thunder dragon in the sky, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

As expected of a prodigy nurtured by a top-tier thunder magic family, his pure fighting spirit and decisive courage to fight to the death are truly commendable.

In order to give this respectable senior the respect he deserves.

Lin Yuan decided that he would no longer simply tough it out.

Lin Yuan's magical power surged violently, and he directly activated his invincible defensive skill - Invincible Barrier!

A layer of light instantly enveloped Lin Yuan's entire body.

"Junior Lin, catch this! This is my final blow!"

Chen Yu roared to the sky and pressed his hands down hard, causing the giant thunder dragon in the sky to let out a deafening roar.

With its overwhelming power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, it crashed straight into Lin Yuan below.

The enormous body of the thunder dragon instantly swallowed Lin Yuan's tiny figure completely.

"Boom!!"

A blinding, intense white light instantly filled the entire main arena, causing everyone to instinctively close their eyes due to the intense light.

The terrifying energy shockwave transformed into tangible ripples, crashing wildly against the surrounding barriers.

Even the reinforced high-level barrier was shaking violently at this moment.

The barrier surface creaked under the strain, demonstrating just how monstrous the power of this attack was.

It took a full half minute for the blinding lightning to gradually dissipate on the arena.

The audience eagerly opened their eyes and turned to look at the center of the ring.

The once indestructible main arena had been blasted into a huge crater tens of meters in diameter.

The edge of the pit was charred black, with wisps of smoke still rising from it. But at the very center of the pit, Lin Yuan remained as steady as a rock, holding his shield in one hand.
