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

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "That's because they usually treat me very well, so I naturally treat them back in a calm manner."

"But if they spread malicious intent towards me, then don't blame me for being foul-mouthed. After all, I don't want internal conflicts, so I can only put pressure on others."

Xia Chen was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha—this is the first time I've ever heard of such a statement. What you said actually makes a lot of sense."

Logistics Department.

The teacher glanced at Lin Yuan and handed him a piece of equipment.

"This is your beginner tank gear."

-

[Beginner's Giant Shield]

[Quality: Whiteboard]

[Wearing Level: lv1]

[Attribute: Armor +5]

-

Lin Yuan took the equipment and glanced at its attributes.

Adding 5 points of physical defense is alright; under the effect of absolute defense, it's equivalent to adding 10 points of physical defense.

Lin Yuan then equipped him with the gear.

Xia Chen next to her was much more luxurious.

As a rare profession, he received a rare gift package from the school.

A black iron berserker greatsword, and a black iron berserker leather armor.

"Hehe, Lin Yuan, tomorrow I'll use this sword to chop the heads off all those monsters in the newbie dungeon!"

Lin Xiao reminded him, "You'd better be careful, don't accidentally use your student ID."

The student ID Lin Yuan is referring to here is not the kind that allows for discounts at specific locations like in his previous life.

In this world, a student ID can save your life.

Even if this life-saving effect only applies to the beginner dungeons that start in the school.

When a student encounters a fatal crisis in the beginner dungeon, the shield in their student ID will be triggered, and they will be forcibly teleported out of the dungeon.

Of course, this student ID only has one chance to save you; it becomes invalid after that.

This can be considered a layer of protection for new graduates' careers provided by the school.

Then, if you encounter a second death crisis in the beginner dungeon, then you are really dead!

"Hehe, don't worry, when we get back my dad will probably prepare some things for me, and I'll share some with you then."

"Besides, don't we have you as our meat shield? With the two of us working together, it'll be hard for us to die."

Lin Yuan glanced at Xia Chen but didn't say anything.

He said that because he wanted to solo the dungeon.

First, solo play in the early stages yields more experience, leading to higher leveling efficiency and a greater chance of entering a prestigious academy.

Secondly, he doesn't plan to reveal this talent for the time being.

Perhaps others will notice something later, but not now; he needs to develop.

Moreover, since they are brothers, and Xia Chen has treated him so well, he doesn't want to hold him back.

While a regular Greatshield Knight might level up slowly, he might not.

After receiving their equipment, the two went straight to the principal's office.

dong dong dong.

"Please come in."

Principal Lu Yun, sitting behind his desk, smiled when he saw Lin Yuan:

"Lin Yuan, you're here. Xia Chen is here too."

"Good morning, Principal!" Xia Chen stood at attention.

Lu Yun nodded, gesturing for them to sit down.

"Lin Yuan, I know everything about the awakening ceremony."

Lu Yun sighed: "The Giant Shield Knight class is indeed quite difficult to level up in the early stages."

"However, your profession is unique and kept secret. I couldn't ask about it in public before, but now that we're talking privately, can you tell me if there's anything special about your profession?"

"I can see that your defensive attributes far exceed those of an ordinary greatsword knight."

He wasn't surprised that the principal could see through his personality traits.

Or rather, this means that everyone who has awakened their profession can possess the ability to detect.

This detection technique can detect most monsters' attributes and even skills, but for the same type, it can generally only detect attributes, while skills or talents are not visible.

Unless Lin Yuan reveals the panel himself, which is impossible.

high?

Xia Chen wondered, how high could it be?

So he also cast a detection spell on Lin Yuan.

"Holy crap! Yuanzi, are you even human? 40 armor, 10 magic resistance? Your defense is more than twice that of a normal greatshield knight!"

Lin Yuan nodded; he had already prepared an explanation for this on his way here.

"Principal, it's like this, I've awakened a passive skill called Absolute Defense. This skill can double my own defense and also has the ability to reflect damage."

Lin Yuan didn't intend to hide anything. If you don't demonstrate certain value in the early stages, how can you get preferential treatment from the school's resources?

The school doesn't owe you anything.

However, he couldn't possibly reveal his talent for stacking defenses.

However, if he wants to obtain the school's resources, he will have to show his other abilities. In any case, his absolute defense and counter-damage abilities cannot be hidden.

It's better to say it now.

Lu Yun frowned: "Is that all? It's normal for the Greatshield Knight to have the ability to reflect damage, but that little bit of damage reflection won't play much of a role in battle."

Lin Yuan shook his head: "Principal, my counter-damage is different from what you think of."

"Under normal circumstances, damage reflection returns a portion of the damage dealt to the opponent."

"And this reflected damage of mine is returned based on my own remaining health!"

"What! Based on your own health points!" Lu Yun stood up abruptly from his chair with a bang.

"Really? What's the ratio? What are the conditions for triggering the damage reflection? Does it require dealing damage to you before it reflects damage back?"

Faced with a series of questions, Lin Yuan calmly responded: "Currently it's only 1%, but as the level increases, the percentage should increase."

"As for the conditions for counter-damage, as long as the opponent's attack is normal, even if it doesn't break my defense, it will still trigger counter-damage."

Here, Lin Yuan's "normal attack" includes both basic attacks and skill attacks.

As for ordinary physical contact, that definitely doesn't count.

Xia Chen looked at Lin Yuan, blinked, and her expression seemed to say: I didn't expect you to have such a big secret!

Lu Yun remained silent. The one thing the giant shield knight had in abundance was health, and Lin Yuan's defense was also quite high.

This definitely converts health points into attack power!

And the later the game goes, the more powerful it becomes!

Is this the hidden, unique profession?

It is indeed quite different from other shield knights.

Absolute defense now only doubles the defense, but what if it were ten or twenty times later?

As long as he doesn't suffer real damage, the opponent might not even be able to break through Lin Yuan's defense, and then die for no reason because Lin Yuan has a lot of health!
