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

"Is this your trump card?"

Lin Yuan shook his head, his eyes filled with disappointment.

"Psychological attacks, it seems, are not so bad after all."

"Have you had enough fun?"

"If you've had your fun, it's my turn."

Lin Yuan's voice suddenly turned cold.

This place is remote and deserted, making it an ideal location to kill someone and cover it up.

Since the other party had already decided to kill him, he naturally wouldn't be polite.

"You... what kind of monster are you?!"

Wang Lang finally panicked. He had exhausted all his methods, but his opponent was completely unharmed.

Lin Yuan's talent is definitely not as simple as the rumors that it is "damage reflection based on health points"!

If that's all there is to it, why were his attacks completely ineffective?

You should know that if it weren't for the fact that the shield warrior's strength was focused on mental power, he would have died countless times over in the face of these attacks!

This unknown fear made him tremble all over.

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

Wang Lang roared and turned to run away.

"run?"

A cruel smile curled at the corner of Lin Yuan's lips.

"Since you're already here, don't leave."

"Perfect, let me show you my newly upgraded skills."

Lin Yuan raised his shield and slammed it hard into the ground.

[Shockwave (lv16)!]

[Current Armor: 28860 (including the Immovable Mountain bonus)!]

Theoretical damage: 66378!

"boom!!!"

A dazzling golden fan-shaped shockwave instantly engulfed everything in front of it!

There was no earth-shattering showdown.

There wasn't much back-and-forth fighting.

Only the purest, most brutal, and most unsolvable numerical crushing!

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The five figures exploded into a cloud of blood mist the moment they came into contact with the shockwave!

Even the screams were drowned out by the roar.

The strongest among them is Wang Lang, but he only has a little over 30,000 HP.

Even if his equipment is decent, it's impossible for him to have 30,000 armor!

Even if it exists?

so what.

If one shot doesn't work, then let's try another!

The dust has settled.

All that remained on the ground was a huge fan-shaped crater and several clumps of glowing debris.

Lin Yuan clapped his hands, his expression calm.

"Done."

Another batch of packages has arrived.

He stepped forward and skillfully began to touch the corpse.

"Hopefully, this chairman will be a little wealthier than Zhao Biao."

He skillfully picked up the ball of light from the ground.

[Obtained: Soul-Stealing Ring (Special Accessory)]

[Received: 50000 Gold Coins]

"Wow! That's a huge explosion!"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

In particular, the [Soul-Stealing Ring] is an extremely rare mental-type accessory that can increase mental power and mental resistance.

Although his mental strength has now exceeded 40,000, who would complain about having too much of this good stuff?

Even if he doesn't need it, he can still sell it for a good price!

Mental strength is far more valuable than other attributes!

In particular, this [Soul-Stealing Ring] also has an active effect that allows one to break free from mind control.

"That's it for the day, time to go home."

Lin Yuan swept away all the spoils and disappeared into the night.

From now on, in the Cola Novels readers' vote for best urban novel, "Permanent Defense After Being Hit, Even Gods and Demons Can't Hit Me" will be at the top! The Greedy Wolf Guild will no longer exist in Tianhai City.

The next two days.

Lin Yuan started an even more frantic leveling-up mode.

Although the mobs in the Hell dungeon are less efficient at farming defense points due to level suppression.

But Lin Yuan is a ruthless person.

He took the "Armor Removal Style" to its extreme.

Remove the equipment that increases health to reduce damage reflection and let the monsters hit you a few more times!

I managed to fill up my experience bar by defeating bosses and high-level elite monsters!

Two nights later.

Deep within the [Irontooth Ant Nest] instance.

As the last [Mutant Acidic Queen Ant] fell.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your level has increased to lv20!]

"call"

Lin Yuan let out a long sigh, feeling the vast, ocean-like power within his body.

"Finally level 20."

In this world, awakening is the first job advancement, and level 40 is the dividing line for the second job advancement.

But this is still a huge watershed moment, because level 20 unlocks the core ultimate skill for the class!

[Unlock new skill: Life Restoration (lv1)]

[Life Restoration: Active skill, consumes 100 mana, instantly restores 30 maximum health, and restores 5 health per second for the next 10 seconds.]

Lin Yuan looked at the skill in front of him and his expression turned strange. This core skill was somewhat similar to the ultimate skill of a hero in a game from his previous life.

However, this might be the most suitable one for him!

After all, you never know when you'll encounter a class with high true damage.

However, if the opponent is experienced, there won't even be time to drink a healing potion.

At this point, this skill becomes very important!

Moreover, with his skills having no cooldown, as long as his mana bar can hold up, he's practically unkillable!

Next up is the main attraction – the gold-tier modifiers unlocked at level 20.

A flash of light appeared, and four large characters slowly emerged.

[Unlock the Gold Entry: Fountain of Life]

[Fountain of Life (lv1): Increases your base maximum health by 100 and regenerates 1 of your maximum health per second]

Holy crap!!!

Upon seeing this entry, Lin Yuan completely lost his composure.

Base health doubled?

With this passive ability, he won't even need to use healing potions anymore!

Having reached level 20, he can now equip the [Ring of the Queen of Acid Corrosion (Silver)] and learn the legendary skill book [Gift of the Earth] that he obtained earlier!

"Holy crap! Who can handle this?"

"By the way, can this professional talent be turned off manually? Otherwise, if I compete with someone in the future, and they manage to reflect 1500 points of damage in one go?"

"If the enemy team has a squishy class, wouldn't he be able to kill them instantly?"
