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

Lin Yuan looked at the skill book in his hand, which emitted a thick, earthy-yellow aura, and his breathing became a little rapid.

[Passive Skill Book: Earth's Gift (Legendary)]

[Learning Requirements: Level > 20, Constitution > 300, Strength > 250, Class: Defensive]

[Effect: When your feet touch the ground, you regenerate (1% of your maximum health + 1% of your maximum mana) per second. Additionally, you receive 50% less earth damage and an additional 10% less physical damage.]

"Unlimited battery life? Standing on the ground makes you a perpetual motion machine?"

Lin Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Is this the reward dropped by the 'Grievance of the Clan' BOSS? It's absolutely amazing!"

1% double return per second!

This means that as long as he stands on the ground, he can fully recover his condition within 100 seconds, even without taking any medicine.

In battle, this is practically an unfair healing cheat!

However, when Lin Yuan saw the requirement of "Level > 20", a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

"What a pity, I'm only level 16 now."

His physique is now over 400, and his strength is just a little short of 250.

"But it's okay."

Lin Yuan calmly put the legendary skill book into the deepest part of his backpack.

"There are still a few days until the college entrance exam, keep up the good work!"

After putting away the skill book, Lin Yuan turned his attention to the massive amount of experience points.

This time, the mobs alone gave him more than 82000 experience points. With the rewards from the two bosses, his experience pool is overflowing!

He then channeled all that experience into his skills.

[Guardian Barrier: lv15 -> lv16 (0/30000)!]

[Effect: Consumes 60 mana to gain a shield equal to 50% of maximum health! Lasts 90 seconds!]

[Savage Charge: lv9 -> lv16 (0/30000)!]

[Effect: Consumes 42 mana, charges 25 meters, deals (Strength x3) physical damage, knocks back enemies, and stuns them for 2 seconds!]

【生命打击：lv1（0\/100）-> lv15（14390\/20000）！】

[Effect: Consumes 5% of your health to deal physical damage equal to (health consumed × 380%)!]

"Tsk, almost there."

Lin Yuan looked at the progress bar for [Life Strike], which was only a few thousand experience points away from reaching the maximum level, and felt a little regretful.

"My current health is 8604. 5% is 430 health. One hit will deal 1634 base damage! This doesn't even include strength bonuses and critical hits. It's more than enough to kill a squishy target."

After organizing his skills, Lin Yuan walked towards the teleportation portal with satisfaction.

Outside the instance.

The Red Soil Canyon is in complete chaos.

Because of the "extermination" mechanism, thousands of professionals have gathered here to watch the spectacle.

Xia Chen and Ouyang Xue stood at the front, staring intently at the blood-red barrier, their palms sweating profusely.

The surrounding crowd was abuzz with discussion.

"Come on, come on, it's been so long, they must be dead inside."

"What a pity, a genius who could solo Hell has fallen like this."

Just when everyone thought Lin Yuan was doomed.

Click!

The blood-red barrier that had been sealed off for so long suddenly made a crisp sound and then shattered like glass!

hum!

A flash of light.

A tall, upright figure slowly walked out of the portal.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening clamor erupted!

"Holy crap! He's out! That tough guy is out!"

"Completely unharmed!"

"He really cleared the hidden level? I heard it's even harder than the main dungeon!"

"A miracle! This is absolutely a miracle!"

Amidst countless shocked and stunned gazes, Lin Yuan calmly walked out.

"Brother Yuan!!!"

A howl rang out.

Xia Chen rushed forward and grabbed Lin Yuan's leg, acting like a complete drama queen.

"You scared me to death! I thought I was going to be invited to a banquet!"

"Get lost!"

Lin Yuan kicked him while laughing and cursing.

"Can't you wish me well for once?"

Ouyang Xue also came over. Seeing Lin Yuan's relaxed expression, she finally felt relieved.

"It's good that you're alright."

Her clear, cold voice trembled slightly as she looked at Lin Yuan with a complex expression.

"You...you really killed all the monsters inside?"

"Yes, they're all dead."

Lin Yuan nodded, his tone indifferent.

"I also got a small reward."

Seeing Lin Yuan's Versailles-like demeanor, Ouyang Xue and Xia Chen exchanged a glance, both of them speechless.

The most lethal form of showing off is the subtle kind.

"Alright, stop crowding around."

Lin Yuan glanced at the growing crowd around him, not wanting to be looked at like a monkey.

……

The next few days.

Lin Yuan began an extremely monotonous leveling-up life.

Although the "hatred of genocide" can only be triggered once, it does not diminish Lin Yuan's love for the [Iron-Toothed Ant Nest].

I run the Hell difficulty dungeon twice a day, without fail.

Each time, he carried out the principle of "not attacking first" to the end, and managed to kill all the ants by turning the tables on them.

This diligence resulted in an explosion of data!

[Shield Throw (lv16)]!

[Life Strike (lv16)]!

【War Trampling (lv16)】!

In just one day, all of his active skills were maxed out.

Another day has passed.

With this massive accumulation of proficiency, his talent and golden attributes have also undergone a new qualitative change.

【Experience Armor (lv6)】

[Proficiency: 1418/100000]

[Effect: Gain 6 experience points for each effective attack from an enemy of the same or higher level that you withstand!]

-

[Talent: Undying (lv6)]

[Proficiency: 1418/100000]

[Effect 1: After being attacked once, your defense permanently increases by 6!]

[Effect 2: Reflects damage equal to 6% of maximum health!]

[Effect 3 (New): You can freely allocate defense points to mental resistance (2 points of mental resistance = 1 point of mental resistance)!]

"Mental resistance?!" Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

This is the rarest and hardest defensive attribute to accumulate!

It primarily targets methods such as mind control, soul attacks, and intimidation.

With this, he truly becomes a 360-degree all-around warrior!

In addition, all of his active skills have been upgraded to the same level as his class.

Furthermore, the attributes "omniscient and omnipotent" and "source of magic power" have also been improved.

[Omniscient and Omnipotent (lv3): Can perceive information up to 40 levels higher than the user's own level!]

[Mana Source (lv3): Increases maximum mana by 200%, and restores 3% mana per second!]

From now on, Lin Yuan can finally add experience to his profession level.

……

And tonight.

Lin Yuan prepared to return to the city to rest.

Suddenly, in a secluded place, he stopped.

[Omniscient and Omnipotent] Automatic Warning!

From the shadows ahead, several extremely powerful auras locked onto him without any attempt to conceal their presence.

"Has it finally arrived?"

Lin Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile.

He had long anticipated that the Greedy Wolf Guild, having suffered such a huge loss, would not let it go easily.

He just didn't expect that the revenge would come later than he anticipated.
