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

"disease!"

Ji Qingyue gave a soft shout, and her flying sword transformed into a streak of green light, accurately piercing the Leopard King's waist and abdomen.

-280!

The Leopard King was in pain and was about to launch a surprise attack with [Shadow Step] when Ji Qingyue's fingers changed, and the flying sword instantly returned to defense, forcing the Leopard King to dodge.

"As expected of an elite monster with a score of 600 points."

Ji Qingyue frowned slightly, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"6800 HP, and the defense isn't low either."

"My flying sword is agile, but it lacks burst damage for the time being, so I can only slowly whittle it down."

If it were an ordinary profession, the Leopard King would have killed them instantly.

But she is a legendary sword immortal!

With her exceptional mental strength and sword control skills, she managed to reduce the Leopard King Kite's health by a third.

Give me a few more minutes.

"As long as I don't make any mistakes, these 600 points are mine!"

A resolute glint flashed in Ji Qingyue's eyes.

however.

Just as she was preparing to launch the next offensive.

An accident occurred.

"Buzz!"

An inexplicable fluctuation swept across the rocky forest without warning.

Ji Qingyue felt her heart skip a beat, before she could even react.

The Shadow Leopard King, which had been staring intently at her, suddenly froze.

Its originally cunning vertical pupils were instantly replaced by a frenzied crimson.

Its nose twitched twice, as if it had smelled something "delicious" that it couldn't resist.

next second.

"roar!!!"

The Leopard King let out a deafening roar, completely ignoring the flying sword in mid-air that posed a great threat to it.

They even ignored Ji Qingyue, who was right next to them!

It suddenly changed direction, exerted force with all four limbs, and transformed into a black lightning bolt, rushing wildly towards the dense forest to its side and rear!

That speed was twice as fast as when they were chasing Ji Qingyue!

"What?!"

Ji Qingyue was stunned.

"They ran away?"

"No! It was attracted by something!"

"Who dares to steal my monster?!"

A flash of anger crossed Ji Qingyue's eyes. She lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped up like a startled swan, chasing after the direction where the Leopard King had gone.

Several dozen meters away.

Lin Yuan was strolling along a forest path.

Because the monarch's force field has been extended to 100 meters, he is now like a super magnet.

Monsters kept rushing in from all directions, crashing into him and killing him.

"Um?"

Lin Yuan stopped and looked ahead.

A black leopard, noticeably larger than a normal monster, charged towards them from the direction of the rocky forest with an unstoppable momentum.

"Oh, an elite monster?"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Is this what they mean by 'a man walking in the forest, and a monster falling from the sky'?"

"A level 17 elite should be enough to get a lot of points, right?"

At this moment, Ji Qingyue, who was chasing from behind, finally saw the true face of the "monster thief".

A shield warrior wearing heavy armor?

"stop!"

Ji Qingyue shouted, her voice clear yet filled with anger.

"I spotted that Shadow Panther King first!"

"You're maliciously stealing my monster kills!"

She subconsciously thought that Lin Yuan had used some kind of forced taunting skill.

however.

Lin Yuan didn't move or say anything.

He just stood there, looking somewhat innocently at the large leopard charging towards him.

"roar!"

The Shadow Panther King's eyes were now completely bloodshot.

It rushed towards Lin Yuan and, without saying a word, unleashed its strongest skill: [Crazy Scratching!]

Its claws gleamed with a chilling light, and in an instant, it unleashed five frenzied slashes at Lin Yuan's chest!

It was so fast that you could only see afterimages!

Ji Qingyue was startled.

"Watch out! That's a multi-hit attack!"

This move, [Crazy Scratching], deals extremely high damage. Even a knight of the same level, if they don't activate damage reduction skills and have slightly lower health and defense, will be instantly torn apart!

Why is this shield warrior so clueless? He doesn't even raise his shield?!

However, by setting it as your homepage, you can get daily updates on works like "Permanently Increased Defense When Hit, Gods and Demons Can't Damage Me." The next second...

Ji Qingyue's words, "Get out of the way quickly," were stuck in her throat.

Lin Yuan stood there, hands in his pockets, letting the Leopard King scratch him wildly.

"Clang clang clang clang clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere!

That series of attacks, powerful enough to cut through gold and jade, struck Lin Yuan's dark gold armor without leaving even a white mark.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Qingyue felt a blur before her eyes.

That elite leopard king with 6800 HP, whom she couldn't kill even after trying to kill it for a long time.

The instant he touched Lin Yuan.

The health bar evaporated instantly, like a floodgate being opened!

Five claws down.

The Leopard King didn't even have time to let out a scream.

"Bang!!!"

Its massive body exploded in mid-air, turning into a sky full of white light!

Sold out instantly!

A complete and utter annihilation!

[Slay the level 17 elite Shadow Panther King!]

[Points earned: 600!]

[Current points: 3000!]

Lin Yuan's bracelet vibrated, and his points surged.

The flying sword in mid-air lost its target and hovered there awkwardly.

Ji Qingyue stood on the treetop, still in the posture of flying on a sword. Her cold and beautiful face was now filled with blankness and doubt about life.

who am I?

where am I?

What was the point of all that fighting, maneuvering, and sweating so much?

"you"

Ji Qingyue took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently, clearly angered and shocked.

"What kind of playing style is that?!"

Lin Yuan turned around, looked at the legendary sword fairy girl, and revealed a kind smile.

He shrugged, his face full of sincerity.

"Classmate, you saw it too."

"I was walking along the street when it suddenly rushed out and started scratching me."

"I didn't move an inch."

"It shot itself to its death, how can you blame me?"

"That's called...self-defense."

Ji Qingyue: ""

What the hell is this self-defense?!

I have never seen such a shameless person!

But what devastated her the most was...

This man's defensive capabilities and damage reflection mechanisms were completely beyond her comprehension.

Her prized flying sword attacks only dealt two or three hundred points of damage to the monsters.

And this guy

Standing still, the damage from the counterattack is close to two thousand?!

What's the point of playing this game?!

"The Taiyi Sword Immortal?"

Lin Yuan glanced at the occupation information above her head, couldn't help but shake his head, and muttered something under his breath.

"It looks pretty flashy."

"How come the damage is the same as from cupping?"

"Are all legendary professions this easy these days?"

Although the sound was very soft.

But for Ji Qingyue, who possesses extremely high mental strength, these words were a devastating blow!

"you!!"

Ji Qingyue's pretty face turned red with anger, and she clenched her teeth.

"Who are you calling a gua sha practitioner?!"

"I did that to be on the safe side! It was for kite tactics!"

"Okay, okay, you're amazing."

Lin Yuan nodded perfunctorily, "Then you can continue flying the kite. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

After saying that, Lin Yuan ignored whether the sword fairy girl was about to explode with anger and turned to continue walking deeper into the core area.

Watching Lin Yuan's departing figure, Ji Qingyue sheathed her flying sword, a strong sense of resentment flashing in her eyes.

"Lin Yuan, right?"

"Don't get too cocky!"

"So what if you have high damage reflection? Against a real boss, damage reflection alone is useless! I don't believe your defense is really as high as the legends say!"

Clearly, Ji Qingyue had heard of Lin Yuan, after all, the record he set in Yunhai City was truly sensational.

This is one of the main reasons why she came to take this college entrance examination!

"I will absolutely not lose to you, the final dragon boss!"

The girl gave a soft snort, transformed into a streak of green light, and chased after it without giving in.
