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

The minotaur seemed to have gone mad, swinging his axe in a blur as he furiously smashed it against Lin Yuan.

With each swing of the axe, Lin Yuan remained completely still.

On the contrary, the minotaur's own health bar was dropping wildly, as if it were bleeding from a major artery!

-1855!

-1855!

-1855!

The students from Tianhai No. 1 Middle School who had narrowly escaped death were all staring wide-eyed at the scene.

"Is this the power of the Abyss God?"

"While tanking the boss's attacks, he's chatting with us like a family?"

"This is a bronze boss! Its attack power is at least 500! How come it's not losing health?!"

Archer Zhang Wei swallowed hard, feeling as if his worldview had collapsed.

The five of them were chased like dogs by this boss.

As a result, Lin Yuan arrived, stood there and let the boss hit him, and the boss ended up crippling himself?

Is this the difference?

"Roar!"

Less than ten seconds.

The once imposing minotaur boss moved slower and slower, and the red light in its eyes gradually dimmed.

It looked at the unbreakable tin can in front of it, its eyes revealing deep fear and despair.

That's so unfair to the cows!

This is not a fight! This is one-sided torture!

"What's wrong? You're out of energy?"

Lin Yuan looked at the boss, who was now only a sliver of health left, and felt somewhat unsatisfied.

"Then let's get going."

He gently nudged the shield in his hand.

[Shield Bash!]

"Bang!"

-800!

This became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The minotaur let out a mournful cry, and its massive body collapsed with a crash, turning into a shower of light.

[Slay the level 16 bronze boss, the Bloodthirsty Minotaur!]

[Points earned: 500!]

Lin Yuan glanced at the bracelet.

[Current points: 1128!]

"Cool!"

Lin Yuan whistled contentedly.

Getting those 500 points was so easy, it was practically free.

He turned around, looked at the classmates who were still in a daze, and gave them a kind smile.

"Alright, crisis resolved."

"I'll take the loot, and the points are mine too, no objections?"

"No objections!"

Zhang Wei and the others shook their heads like rattles.

joke!

My life was saved by someone else, what more could I ask for?

Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, Core Area.

The light here is much dimmer than outside, and the canopies of the towering ancient trees almost completely block out the sky.

A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.

Those who can roam here are at least level 18 or higher high-level monsters, and there are even some level 20 elite monsters.

For the vast majority of test takers, this is an absolute no-go zone.

At this moment, in an open space in the core area.

A top-tier five-person team from Shanghai No. 1 High School is besieging a level 19 [Ironclad Rhino (Elite)].

"Knight! Draw its aggro! Don't let it charge!"

"Mage, use Freeze to predict my movement!"

"The assassin is looking for an opportunity to cut off his hind legs!"

The five people worked together seamlessly, showcasing a dazzling array of skills.

Even so, they still had an extremely difficult time.

The armored rhinoceros has thick hide and high armor, so their attacks often only deal a few dozen points of damage.

"Damn it! This monster regenerates health way too fast!"

"If this continues, we'll be worn down!"

Just when they were at their wits' end.

A series of steady footsteps came from the bushes nearby.

"Shh shh shh"

The five-person team immediately became alert, thinking it was another team trying to steal the monster.

When they looked back, they were all stunned.

A man dressed in dark gold, menacing armor and carrying a shield as large as a city gate walked over leisurely with his hands in his pockets.

The most outrageous thing is that behind this man, there was a long string of monsters!

Three Shadow Wolves (lv19)!

Two [Raging Black Bears (lv20)]!

There were also a few highly venomous spiders that appeared out of nowhere!

There were seven or eight high-level monsters from the core area, their eyes red, chasing and biting the man like madmen.

"Holy crap! Is this guy insane?!"

The captain of the Shanghai team shouted in terror.

"Drag so many core monsters? If he wants to commit suicide, just don't drag us down with him!"

"Get out of there! Don't get caught in the crossfire!"

The five men were so frightened that they abandoned the rhinoceros they had only half-killed and turned to run away.

however.

The next second, something happened that made them question their existence.

The man showed no intention of running away; in fact, he had his back to the monsters.

These monsters are not something Lin Yuan needs to block with a shield; with his current physique, he won't be able to repel them.

Unless the opponent has a skill that forces a knockback.

-0!

[Reflect Damage: -1855!] (True Damage)

The Shadow Wolf, with its high attack but low health, let out a miserable howl as its remaining health bar evaporated instantly, killing it instantly.

Next up was the enraged black bear.

The bear paw slapped hard on his back.

-0!

[Reflect Damage: -1855!]

The black bear's hide is a bit thicker, but I only patted it a couple more times.

Before long, those seven or eight core monsters that terrified the Shanghai team were all blown into a sky full of white light!

Keep in mind that the seven or eight elite monsters in front of us are all level 15 or higher.

Their squad's average level was only 13.

With their teamwork, recruiting one or two shouldn't be a problem.

But if faced with an attack from seven or eight elite monsters all at once, he would probably have no choice but to run away.

Even if they have the potion, in this situation, they might not give you the chance to drink it!

Lin Yuan glanced at the bracelet.

Even if they have the potion, in this situation, they might not give you the chance to drink it!

Lin Yuan glanced at the bracelet.

"Tsk, still a bit slow. The monsters in this core area are too sparsely distributed!"

"I've already maxed out my King's Stance, and this is all the monsters I've attracted."

Lin Yuan sighed.

He knew that monsters were territorial.

Under normal circumstances, they do not infringe upon each other's rights.

Moreover, this is a secret realm assessment, and for the sake of other candidates, the elite monsters in this secret realm have probably already been cleared out.

Otherwise, how could the number of monsters be so scarce in a core area!

Lin Yuan shook his head, ignoring the five petrified passersby beside him, and continued walking deeper into the area.

Until his figure disappeared.

The mage from the Shanghai team trembled as he said, "Team Leader."

Am I seeing things?

"How did those monsters die?"

Deep within the core area lies a forest of chaotic rocks.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Sword energy crisscrossed, its cold light chilling!

In mid-air, a crystal-clear flying sword, radiating a blue light, soared and danced like a dragon.

Under the attack of the flying sword.

A gigantic leopard, its body shrouded in black mist, roared angrily.

Shadow Panther King (Elite)

[Level: lv17]

【HP: 6800】

Attack Power: 480

[Skills: Shadow Step (instantly teleports behind the enemy), Frenzied Slashes (extremely high attack speed combo), Netherworld Bite]

[Description: One of the dominant forces in the core area, extremely fast, a nightmare for squishy classes.]

However, at this moment...

This nightmarish leopard king seemed somewhat aggrieved.

Because it can't touch people at all!

On a huge rock a few dozen meters away.

Standing there was a young girl with long, flowing hair, dressed in a blue Taoist robe.

She was stunningly beautiful, with a cool and ethereal air. Her fingers formed a sword incantation as she remotely controlled a flying sword to fly like a kite.
