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

Five figures emerged from the shadows like ghosts, blocking all of Lin Yuan's escape routes.

The man in the lead was none other than Wang Lang, the guild leader of the Greedy Wolf Guild.

Unlike ordinary soldiers who are all muscular and outstretched, he appeared rather gaunt and gloomy.

Although he was carrying a huge horse-slaying sword, his aura was eerily cold, making anyone who looked at him feel a tingling headache.

[Omniscient and Omnipotent activated!]

Instantly, Wang Lang's detailed data unfolded before Lin Yuan's eyes.

Name: Wang Lang

[Class: Soul-Stealing Demon Warrior (Second Job Advancement)]

[Level: LV52]

【Life: 35000】

【Strength: 1200】

【Spirit: 1500】

[Skills: Soul Scream, Mental Pierce, Fear Aura, Soul-Slaying Strike...]

[Evaluation: An extremely insidious imposter. On the surface, he's a berserker, but in reality, a soul assassin specializing in mental power. He excels at using mental attacks to instantly kill tanks with only physical defense.]

"Whoa!"

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, secretly thinking how close he had come to disaster.

"Turns out he's a cunning old fox."

"I knew it! What gave a berserker the confidence to come and block me, this 'damage-reflecting hedgehog'?"

Even with high armor and magic resistance, a regular shield warrior is like someone without clothes when faced with a soul-piercing attack; they'll shatter at the slightest touch.

Because their mental strength is extremely weak!

After this period of time, many people have discovered the characteristics of Lin Yuan's profession.

After all, with him so openly grinding monsters in the dungeon, it's impossible for an ordinary shield warrior to do that.

"Trying to sabotage me?"

A playful smile appeared on Lin Yuan's lips.

He opened the attribute panel and immediately invested 40,000 defense points into his mental power!

[Defense Points Cost: 40000!]

[Spirit: 129 -> 40129!]

[Derived Attribute (2 Spirit = 1 Resistance) - Spirit Resistance: 20064!]

In an instant.

Lin Yuan felt as if his brain had become an indestructible fortress, or even a vast starry sky!

40,000 points of mental energy!

20,000 points of mental resistance!

"This is what they call, 'The devil may be one foot tall, but the righteous are ten feet tall.'"

Lin Yuan chuckled inwardly, closed the panel, and regained his composure, as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, Wang Lang, accompanied by four trusted men, had walked to within ten meters of Lin Yuan.

He didn't rush to make a move, but instead looked Lin Yuan up and down with the eyes of a cat playing with a mouse.

"Kid."

Wang Lang's voice was hoarse, with an unsettling magnetic quality.

"I've been observing you for two days."

"I have to admit, you're a genius, even a prodigy. At a mere level 16, you managed to trigger the hidden mechanics of the dungeon and still survive."

Wang Lang took a step forward, his chilling aura growing even stronger.

"Zhao Biao's disappearance must be related to you, right?"

"Although I didn't find the body, I guess... he's dead, or even his remains have been completely destroyed."

Lin Yuan stood with his hands in his pockets, looking completely innocent.

"President, you can't just make things up without evidence."

"How could a level 16 newbie like me possibly kill a second-job-level veteran?"

"Oh."

Wang Lang sneered, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"Let's not beat around the bush. If you can solo the Hell difficulty dungeon, you definitely have a big secret! It could be a powerful artifact or a god-level talent."

At this point, Wang Lang revealed his true intentions.

"Young man, a wise man knows when to yield."

"Tell me your secrets, and hand over all the treasures you obtained in the dungeon."

"perhaps……"

Wang Lang paused, then a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

"I might consider letting you off the hook, or even taking you into the Greedy Wolf Guild and making you its vice president."

"How about it? This deal was a great deal, wasn't it?"

In his view, this was a combination of kindness and severity. A level 16 student, surrounded by five third-tier powerhouses, would have his mental defenses completely broken.

However, Lin Yuan sighed.

He picked at his ear with a hint of helplessness.

"Hey, do you villains all have a training course? Your opening lines are all exactly the same, don't you feel embarrassed?"

Lin Yuan raised his head, but there was not a trace of fear in his eyes. Instead, there was only deep mockery.

"Want my baby?"

"Okay."

Lin Yuan slowly drew the Myriad Devouring Shield from behind him and slammed it to the ground.

boom!

The earth trembled slightly.

Immovable as a mountain (triggered)!

"I'm standing right here."

"If you're so capable, come and get it yourself."

"court death!!"

Wang Lang's four henchmen were furious and drew their weapons, ready to charge forward.

"Wait!"

Wang Lang raised his hand to stop his men.

He looked at the confident Lin Yuan and sneered inwardly.

"Looks like you're pretty confident in your defenses? You think wearing a turtle shell makes you invincible?"

"Innocent!"

Wang Lang swung his horse-slaying saber suddenly, but instead of bursting with battle aura, an invisible gray ripple emerged from the blade!

That was not a physical attack.

That was a spiritual storm that struck straight to the soul!

[Skill: Soul Scream!]

[Effect: Deals (Mental Damage x 200%) to the target, inflicting deep fear and paralysis!]

"Kneel down!!"

Wang Lang let out a loud shout.

That invisible mental shockwave, like a sharp cone, pierced fiercely towards Lin Yuan's brow!

This trick never failed him. Even a level 60 warrior with full defense and shields would become an idiot if hit by this move, leaving them completely at his mercy.

He could almost see Lin Yuan clutching his head, screaming in agony, and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

He could almost see Lin Yuan clutching his head, screaming in agony, and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

however.

A second passed.

Two seconds passed.

That terrifying mental shockwave slammed into Lin Yuan's mind.

Then, it was like a speck of dust falling into the ocean.

It vanished without a trace, without even making a ripple.

Lin Yuan stood still, without even frowning.

He blinked, looking at Wang Lang with a puzzled expression.

Why are you yelling so loudly?

"Does your throat feel sore? Would you like some water?"

Lin Yuan even turned his backside towards Wang Lang and patted him twice.

That's incredibly insulting!

"..."

The entire room fell silent.

The sinister smile on Wang Lang's face froze instantly.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

"How is that possible?!"

"You...why are you alright?!"

He doesn't believe in superstitions.

"Coincidence! This must be a coincidence!"

"Or perhaps you possess a one-time-use mental defense item!"

"Let's see how many times you can block this!"

Wang Lang went mad, wildly swinging his horse-slaying saber.

[Mental piercing!]

[Aura of Fear!]

[A bewitching, enchanting sound!]

One after another, invisible mental skills were thrown at Lin Yuan as if they were free.

Lin Yuan just watched him perform quietly.

He even yawned.

"boring."

The mental resistance level of 20064 points is there for all to see.

In Lin Yuan's eyes, Wang Lang's pitiful 1500 points of mental attribute were nothing more than a baby's cry, and even a little hypnotic.

"Is this your trump card?"
