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

Chapter 359 Completely Convinced, Arriving in the Land of Cherry Blossoms

She originally thought her job was to heal and buff her teammates, but now she realizes that she doesn't need to heal at all!

The whole team is "immortal," so what need is there for healing?

"Divine Punishment: Spear of Radiance!"

Su Xiaoxiao simply abandoned her healing skills and launched an attack spell directly.

Her profession is Holy Light Priestess, and most of her skills are healing, attack, and defense buffs, but she also has offensive skills.

One after another, holy spears of light descended from the sky, striking the Deep Sea Lord's body like raindrops, emitting a sizzling sound.

The assassin Ye Wuhen completely let loose and went all out.

He didn't even need to use his invisibility skill; he transformed into a black lightning bolt and rushed towards the Deep Sea Lord's true form.

The black dagger in his hand became a blur, frantically slashing and backstabbing the monster's vital points.

The monster's tentacles frantically tried to crush him to death, but Ye Wuhen didn't even bother to dodge.

Despite the tentacles pounding on his back, he not only didn't lose any health, but his attack rhythm wasn't even disrupted in the slightest.

"That was exhilarating! This is real combat! So satisfying!"

For the first time, Ye Wuhen's usually cold face revealed an extremely joyful, maniacal laugh.

This is the confidence that Lin Yuan gave them!

With their million-level dual resistance, they are truly immortal gods on this battlefield!

It can ignore any counterattack from the enemy and unleash all its damage without restraint!

He now understood why Lin Yuan was the captain!

Shui Nuo wasn't idle either. She waved the Sea God's Staff in her hand, and the entire sea seemed to obey her command.

"The Wrath of the Ocean - Freezing Ten Thousand Miles!"

The power of extreme cold frost instantly spread across the sea surface, freezing the massive body of the Deep Sea Lord firmly in place and greatly restricting its movement.

Chu Tianxing and Long Ying, like tigers unleashed from their cages, launched their fiercest attack without any hesitation.

"Asura Annihilation Slash!" Chu Tianxing transformed into a blood-red meteor, his battle blade bringing with it a storm of blood and gore.

"Silent Starfall!" Dragon Shadow drew his black longbow to its fullest extent, and a rain of arrows, like black meteors, crashed down on the Deep Sea Lord.

The eight most outstanding talents in China, under the blessing of Lin Yuan's heaven-defying defensive buff, completely transformed into a group of lawless madmen.

They abandoned all defense and positioning, pouring all their mental and magical energy into maximizing their damage output.

The Deep Sea Shadow Lord was utterly desperate.

It couldn't understand why these seemingly weak humans possessed such terrifying defensive capabilities.

Its attacks felt like tickling them.

The attacks from these humans, however, were like a slow, agonizing death, gradually eroding its life points.

In just ten minutes.

This level 65 lord, who had dominated the deep sea for a century, was already badly injured and on the verge of death by the National Team.

Six of its eight main tentacles had been severed, and all of its venom sacs had been destroyed, leaving large areas of the sea stained with purple blood.

It wasn't that he didn't want to escape, but it would take him time to break free from Shui Nuo's ice seal.

In that short time, he had to endure the extreme attacks from Chu Tianxing and his group!

"Captain! It's dying, you're in charge to finish it off!"

Lei Kuang cleaved back the demon's last bit of counterattack with a single axe blow, then turned and shouted loudly at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan on the deck nodded slightly.

He slowly took two steps forward, and with a clench of his right hand, the Undying Black Dragon Heavy Shield instantly appeared in his hand.

"Fine, I'll use you to test the power of this new skill."

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, and the power within his body erupted like a volcano.

He slammed his right foot on the deck, and his whole body shot into the sky like a cannonball, leaping directly above the Deep Sea Lord.

"Titan Meteor Strike!"

Lin Yuan let out a deafening roar in mid-air.

The Undying Black Dragon Shield in his hand instantly shone with a dazzling light as bright as stars, and a terrifying pressure, condensed from the earth and the Titans, descended from the sky, locking onto the Deep Sea Lord below.

This is a divine skill that evolved from ordinary shield bash after advancing to the Abyss level, dealing physical damage equivalent to five percent of the user's maximum health!

It should be noted that Lin Yuan's maximum health, enhanced by the Black Dragon Set, has reached an extremely high level.

"boom!!!!"

Lin Yuan swung his shield, which was as heavy as a mountain, and with unstoppable Titan power, slammed it hard into the massive head of the Deep Sea Shadow Lord!

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying sonic boom that made the whole world lose its color exploded on the sea!

A visible white shockwave, centered on the point where the shield struck, swept wildly in all directions.

The shockwave was so powerful that it flattened the surrounding churning seawater, creating a huge vacuum zone with a diameter of several hundred meters!

"Click—"

'

A chilling sound of bones cracking rang out.

The hard skull that the deep-sea lord was so proud of was shattered like a watermelon under Lin Yuan's earth-shattering shield!

The Deep Sea Lord didn't even have time to let out a final wail before its immense life force vanished completely.

Its island-like body crashed heavily back into the sea, splashing water everywhere.

[Successfully defeated the level 65 Deep Sea Shadow Lord! Gained massive experience points! Special loot chest *1!]

Lin Yuan performed a graceful somersault in mid-air and landed steadily back on the deck of the cruise ship.

With the death of the Deep Sea Lord, the oppressive dark clouds in the sky began to slowly dissipate, and the raging storm gradually subsided.

The long-awaited sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone once again on the shimmering sea.

The battle is over.

The deck of the cruise ship was deathly silent.

The members of the Nationalist team were panting heavily, even though they hadn't been injured in the fight.

However, the extreme experience of giving their all without reservation still took a huge toll on their mental and physical energy.

However, compared to their physical exhaustion, the shock they experienced was even more profound, like a raging storm that lingered for a long time.

Everyone turned their heads simultaneously, focusing their gaze intently on the boy who was leisurely putting away his shield.

If they had previously harbored doubts and disdain for Lin Yuan as their captain...

Now, all those doubts and disdain have been replaced by a deep sense of awe and fervor!

A god-tier support that can buff the entire team with millions of double resistances in one move!

And that bizarre passive ability that allows one to withstand tentacles unscathed and instantly turn the tables!

Is this ultimate monster, combining defense, support, and burst damage, truly something a human could cultivate?!

"thump."

A muffled thud broke the silence on the deck.

The Holy Shield Knight Zhao Tianhai, who had been defiantly challenging Lin Yuan, now had a face full of shame and regret.

Zhao Tianhai raised his head and looked at Lin Yuan with utmost sincerity and awe.

"team leader!"

Zhao Tianhai's voice was a little hoarse, but it conveyed an unprecedented sense of heartfelt admiration.

"I, Zhao Tianhai, am a boorish man. I was blinded by greed and dared to speak rudely to you."

"If you hadn't saved me just now, I'm afraid I would have been smashed to pieces by that lord."

"From this day forward, you are the only captain I, Zhao Tianhai, have ever recognized!"

"I'll go wherever you point. If I, Zhao Tianhai, even flinch, I'm not worthy of being a knight!"

Seeing Zhao Tianhai's sincerity, Lin Yuan nodded calmly.

Because on the battlefield of the abyss, the strong are respected, and this is an eternal and unchanging iron law.

Only by overwhelming them with absolute strength can these unruly geniuses be made to completely lower their proud heads.

After a good ten seconds, Lin Yuan finally spoke slowly.

"The National Guard doesn't need people who disobey orders. When you get to Japan, save your energy for that son of a bitch."

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Zhao Tianhai felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and patted his chest to promise that he would never embarrass his captain.

At this moment, the other regular team members also stepped forward.

Mo Chen, the usually arrogant space mage, bowed slightly to Lin Yuan for the first time ever.

"Captain Lin, we were mistaken before. With your defense, our Chinese team will definitely make history in this National Games."

Assassin Ye Wuhen declared directly: "From now on, Captain, at your command, my dagger will cut down any obstacle for you."

The girls, including Su Xiaoxiao and Shui Nuo, looked at Lin Yuan with undisguised admiration and stares.

A man who can provide his teammates with absolute security in dire situations has an irresistible charm.

Even Lei Kuang, who was always warlike, burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha! Fighting with Captain Lin is so exhilarating! I don't even have to worry about defense. I've never fought such a rewarding battle in my life!"

This moment.

This national team, composed of the country's top geniuses, was finally defeated by Lin Yuan's unfathomable strength.

They were completely united as one, truly working together!

No one dared to question Lin Yuan's position as captain anymore.

However, behind this group of people cheering and celebrating, there was a gaze that seemed out of place in this harmonious atmosphere.

That was Qin Tian standing in the corner.

Qin Tian looked at Lin Yuan, who was surrounded by everyone like a star being the moon.

He outwardly clapped along with everyone else, wearing a fawning, respectful, and hypocritical smile.

But in his heart, it was as if a ten-thousand-ton depth charge had been dropped, stirring up a monstrous wave that could tear his soul apart!

"This is terrifying—this Lin Yuan is simply an irrational anomaly!"

Qin Tian's heart was trembling violently, and his back was completely soaked with cold sweat.

He never dreamed that Lin Yuan could share that abnormal defensive power directly with all his teammates!

And the added defense is so high!

A massive group defense buff!

What does this mean?

This means that as long as Lin Yuan is in this team, the entire Huaguo National Team is an invincible army that cannot be defeated!

The more Qin Tian thought about it, the more terrified he became, recalling the conspiracies his family elders had secretly plotted.

I recalled the so-called "foolproof" deadly traps that the Abyss Order had prepared for this National Games.

Those traps would be more than enough to deal with geniuses from other countries.

But what if the target is the Chinese team, which has Lin Yuan?

Qin Tian was horrified to discover that, in the face of Lin Yuan's abnormal defense at the million-level and his unsolvable group counterattack, the schemes and tricks of the family and the cult were simply a joke!

I'm afraid not only will they fail to kill Lin Yuan, but they'll also be wiped out by that terrifying counter-damage mechanism!

"No—this absolutely cannot be left like this."

Qin Tian lowered his head, biting his lip tightly, a glint of extreme malice flashing in his eyes.

"Lin Yuan's defensive capabilities have grown to an uncontrollable and terrifying level."

"If we allow him to continue participating in the National Games, he will completely ruin the Order's century-long plan all by himself!"

"This information must be relayed back to the family immediately!"

"The adults in the Order must be on high alert. They must spare no expense, using their highest-level resources, to completely annihilate this monster in the Land of Sakura!"

Qin Tian screamed wildly in his heart, his respectful exterior concealing a deep fear and murderous intent towards Lin Yuan.

But he was unaware of the dark glint in his eyes that he thought he had concealed perfectly.

It had already been fully observed by Lin Yuan's keen intuition and the omniscience of the golden dictionary.

Lin Yuan turned his head and glanced casually at Qin Tian, ​​who was hiding behind the crowd.

Looking at Qin Tian's shoulders trembling slightly with extreme fear, Lin Yuan's lips curled into a barely perceptible, cold smile.

"Are they finally about to reveal their true colors?"

Lin Yuan sneered inwardly. The reason he hadn't attacked Qin Tian directly earlier was to play the long game and catch a bigger fish.

Since the Abyss Order's claws have already reached here, he doesn't mind carrying out a thorough purge on the land of Japan before heading to the World Championship!

The cruise ship continued sailing on the calm sea. After being baptized by the deep-sea lord, the morale of the National Government team members was at its peak.

a few days later.

On the distant horizon, the outline of a blurry continent finally appeared; that was the first stop on their training journey.

The Land of Cherry Blossoms!

The massive magical cruise ship slowly entered the most bustling, top-class international port in the Sakura Kingdom amidst a deep whistle.

The sun was shining brightly, and seagulls circled and cried out above the gun barrel.

If it weren't for the dark purple bloodstains of the Deep Sea Demon Lord still remaining on the cruise ship's deck, probably no one would have guessed it.

This ship had recently experienced a brutal and frenzied battle in the deep sea.

"We've finally arrived."

Lei Kuang stretched out a big yawn, and his bones made a popping sound like popping beans.

He took deep breaths of the fresh air of this foreign land, his eyes gleaming with a fanatical, belligerent light.

"After drifting at sea for so many days, my bones are practically rusting. I can't wait to teach those so-called geniuses a lesson."
