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

"Phase Three: Arena Showdown!"

"The top 100 students in the rankings will be teleported to a location for a one-on-one duel!"

"To determine the final national champion!"

When he said the last four words, Lu Yun's gaze intentionally or unintentionally drifted towards Lin Yuan's direction.

The eyes of all the bigwigs on the stage fell on that tall, imposing figure.

His eyes were filled with scrutiny and expectation.

"A basic test?"

A playful smile appeared on Lin Yuan's lips.

"That's interesting."

None of these four attributes will have a weak value.

The reason for this attribute test is mainly because the information panel is a matter of personal privacy.

Adding some tests can make these attributes more intuitive and visually appealing.

Those whose overall score is below 60 points are naturally not eligible to enter the next test.

Because the second phase of the live-fire exercise is one where people can actually die!

Although each student will be given a wristband with the function of recording points and transmitting data.

But this teleportation has a wind-up animation.

If your strength is too weak, you'll be instantly killed by a monster, and you won't even have a chance to activate the bracelet.

Then, led by the proctors, the students split up and went to four different testing areas.

on the rostrum.

The atmosphere wasn't as tense as it was in the audience; instead, it was quite lively.

Li Changfeng, deputy director of the Provincial Education Bureau, turned to look at Lu Yun, his eyes full of admiration.

"Old Lu, is that Lin Yuan you mentioned in your report?"

"I never expected it to actually be level 20."

"This breaks the national record in China!"

Li Changfeng tapped the table with a sigh.

"I remember that even the Celestial Master Chen Qingxuan, who had the support of the Chen family and the country, only barely reached the 19th grade before the college entrance examination."

"I heard that Lin Yuan is an orphan?"

"To surpass Chen Qingxuan at this age all by his own is remarkable! Truly remarkable!"

"If the data in your previous report is accurate, Tianhai City is definitely going to be this year's top scorer in the college entrance examination!"

Hearing this, Lu Yun's face broke into a wide smile.

"Of course!"

"Also, there are actually two students from the class of 18 in this crowd. Your class of students is really remarkable."

The city lord, Ouyang Lingyun, couldn't help but interject.

"That's my daughter, Ouyang Xue. I'm not very talented; I just reached level 18 a couple of days ago."

"And that kid with the spiked club, his name is Xia Chen, he's from the Xia Clan Chamber of Commerce, and he's also level 18."

Ouyang Lingyun was overjoyed.

The feeling of showing off in front of so many big shots from various provinces and even the capital is simply wonderful!

In previous years, this data would have been considered a sure-fire path to becoming the top provincial scorer!

"What's the use of a high level? We still need to see how well they perform in actual combat!"

A clear, cool female voice rang out.

The speaker was Su Ya, the director of admissions at the War Academy.

She was dressed in a smart military uniform, looking heroic and spirited, her gaze never leaving Lin Yuan.

"Principal Lu, our War Academy wants Lin Yuan."

"As long as he's willing to come, he'll be allocated S-level resources upon enrollment! He can choose any tutor he wants!"

Before he could finish speaking...

The old man in the robe next to him, Zhao Wuji, a tutor from the Imperial Academy, immediately sneered.

"Hmph, Su girl, you just said you wanted to see her performance in actual combat, how come you changed your mind when it comes to Lin Yuan?"

"Also, don't make promises you can't keep."

"He's a shield warrior, not a berserker. What would he do in your bunch of brutes? You're not planning to send him to the front lines so soon, are you?"

"Come to our Imperial Capital Academy! We have the best defense-related instructors in the country, and even instructors from the Royal Guard will provide personal guidance!"

"If Lin Yuan comes, I'll decide on the best reward: a complete set of gold armor!"

Two top universities actually started vying for students on the spot!

Several admissions officers from top universities nearby huddled in a corner, trembling with fear as they watched these two titans engage in a battle of wits.

A level 60+ player who has completed the third job advancement!

We can't afford to mess with them, we absolutely can't afford to mess with them.

They could only watch helplessly as Lin Yuan and the others couldn't have him, but perhaps Ouyang Xue or Xia Chen could still snag a bargain.

Faced with the competition between the two top universities, Lu Yun did not rush to express his opinion.

The old fox took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, don't be in such a hurry. Lin Yuan's preference mainly depends on which side suits him better."

The implication is: We need to pay more!

On the test site.

Lin Yuan has easily passed the strength and speed tests.

As a tank with over 400 points of strength, his punch sent the strength test marker's value off the charts, surpassing many berserkers of the same level.

As for speed, while it's not top-tier, it's far above average.

at this time.

He arrived at the third testing point—mental strength.

This is a crystal that emits a soft blue light.

"Place your hands on it and unleash your full mental power."

The proctor, a middle-aged man wearing glasses, spoke expressionlessly.

Lin Yuan reached out and placed his hand on the crystal.

But he was making plans in his mind.

"My mental strength has now exceeded 4. If I were to unleash it all, this crystal would probably explode."

Lin Yuan reached out and placed his hand on the crystal.

But he was making plans in his mind.

"My mental strength has now exceeded 4. If I were to unleash it all, this crystal would probably explode."

"Moreover, my mental strength is my trump card to guard against that old schemer, and I can't reveal it too early."

"No one saw the Greedy Wolf Guild incident, but this time, with so many people around, it's best to keep a low profile."

Thinking about this...

With a thought, Lin Yuan controlled the spiritual power in his sea of ​​consciousness, releasing only a tiny wisp.

It's roughly equivalent to twice the power of a regular level 20 shield warrior.

The crystal lit up with a brilliant blue light.

[Mental Strength Rating: S!]

"Um?"

The proctor adjusted his glasses, somewhat surprised.

"Not bad, for a shield warrior, your mental strength is actually this high?"

"As expected of a hidden class, it seems you have a strong resistance to mental attacks."

Lin Yuan smiled shyly and said in a nonsensical way, "I read a lot of books, so my brain works pretty well."

Invigilator:

Does this have anything to do with reading?

After successfully passing the mental strength test, Lin Yuan arrived at the last test, which was also his strongest test—the defense test!

This is a huge metal golem, holding a heavy black hammer.

[Test Rules: Stand still and withstand three attacks from the puppet. The puppet will automatically adjust its attack power based on your performance and provide a defense rating.]

"That's easy."

Lin Yuan walked up to the puppet and casually placed the [Ten Thousand Devouring Ant Queen Heavy Shield] upright on the ground.

boom!

The ground trembled.

"bring it on."

Lin Yuan beckoned to the puppet with his finger.

"Click click click"

A red light flashed in the metal golem's eyes, and it raised the heavy hammer high in its hand.

The first strike!

The wind howled, and the heavy hammer slammed down with tremendous force!

This attack was equivalent to a full-force strike from a level 15 warrior.
