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

Lu Yun's dignified gaze swept across the entire room, lingering briefly on Wang Hao and Lin Yuan.

"First point!"

"You will be teleported into the instance. Initially, you will be on the edge of the instance, where the monsters are the lowest level, level 1."

"The deeper you go, the stronger the monsters you encounter become, with the highest being level 10."

"Although the monsters in the beginner dungeon have significantly lower stats than normal dungeons, you're still beginners!"

Lu Yun emphasized, "Absolutely do not attempt to fight multiple monsters at once!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chen subconsciously glanced at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's expression clearly conveyed the message, "I'm going to deal with one-to-many situations."

Lu Yun continued, "Furthermore!"

"Besides the five rare professions at school, and Lin Yuan..."

"Everyone else must team up!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

"Why? Why can Lin Yuan solo this too?"

"Exactly! He's just a giant shield knight, soloing?"

"Has the principal made a mistake?"

Lu Yun ignored the commotion below and continued to announce:

"Each team must bring one student with a support role."

"Don't think they'll hold your main combat classes back!"

"If it weren't for them providing buffs and healing you from behind, you newbies would probably have ended up using your student IDs without even realizing it!"

As mentioned before, a student ID can be used to forcibly teleport you out of a beginner dungeon if you encounter a fatal danger.

But you only get one chance.

"The students you're mentoring now will benefit you in future college entrance exams and even on the battlefield!"

"You need to think about this!"

"If you need to form a team in the future, would you rather entrust your back to a classmate or a stranger?"

"At least there's still a bond of friendship between classmates."

After Lu Yun finished speaking, he waved his hand.

In the center of the playground, a huge spatial portal began to hum.

"The beginner dungeon is now open!"

As Lu Yun's voice faded, the massive spatial portal emitted a steady hum.

See you in twelve hours.

Lin Yuan waved to Xia Chen behind him, his words concise and efficient.

As he spoke, he entered that distorted space alone, amidst the complex gazes of the entire school's teachers and students—some mocking, some puzzled, and some gloating.

"Holy crap, he really went in alone?"

"Are you crazy?! Even if the principal gives him special permission, why would he solo it as a tank? What's the point?"

"Without dealing damage, how is he supposed to fight monsters? Is he going to kill them one by one with his shield? Or with that short blade? That's hilarious."

The students were discussing it animatedly.

The beginner dungeon has no cooldown, but you can only stay there for a maximum of twelve hours at a time.

Lin Yuan has no intention of coming out.

After awakening their profession, they will automatically receive a system inventory.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's backpack already contained basic health recovery potions, basic mana recovery potions, and enough food for a day.

He came prepared.

"Hmph, just trying to attract attention."

Wang Hao watched Lin Yuan's disappearing figure and sneered.

He said to Chen Xiaoman beside him and his lackey Zhao Ming:

"Alright, let's go in too. Let him cry alone inside."

There are three people in their team.

Wang Hao is an ice mage, Chen Xiaoman is a light priest, and Zhao Ming is a sword and shield knight.

Although it seems that teaming up will split experience and slow down the leveling process.

But because they are in a team, they can go deeper and fight higher-level monsters, gaining more experience, so it won't be too much slower.

Wang Hao had already decided that once he reached level 10, he would have his clan members take him to run high-level dungeons.

……

On the podium.

Beside Lu Yun, a middle-aged man dressed in the robes of a city lord appeared out of nowhere.

The man exuded an imposing aura; he was none other than Ouyang Lingyun, the city lord of Tianhai City.

"Old Lu, is that the hidden profession that your school awakened this year?"

Ouyang Lingyun frowned slightly as he watched Lin Yuan's disappearing figure.

"What's so special about him that you're letting him go in alone to fight monsters? How inefficient is that?"

Lu Yun smiled mysteriously: "Well, you'll find out when the time comes, City Lord Ouyang."

"Your daughter, Ouyang Xue, is quite nice too," Lu Yun changed the subject.

"I've actually awakened the rare class [Gunner]. This class is different from the mage; it possesses considerable combat power even in the early game."

"And in the later stages, once they awaken various wide-range damage skills, they are in no way weaker than mages."

When his daughter was mentioned, a slight smile appeared on Ouyang Lingyun's stern face.

"Haha, I'm very satisfied too."

"I think my daughter is probably the most likely person in your school to get into the War College this year."

Ouyang Lingyun changed the subject and returned to Lin Yuan.

"I was curious before about who Lin Yuan was, the one who had been suppressing my daughter."

"I didn't expect it to be just a giant shield knight who has awakened."

"But looking at you now..." Ouyang Lingyun stroked his chin.

"I'm still a little curious, what kind of surprises this kid can bring me."

……

Beginner dungeon.

Lin Yuan entered the instance, and after a spatial distortion, he appeared in a sparse woodland.

A faint stench of decay permeated the air.

"Is this a copy? It's just like what they said in the theory class."

Lin Yuan cautiously observed his surroundings.

Then, not far away, he spotted three wandering little monsters.

They have white fur, pointed ears, red eyes, and pointed horns on their heads. They are the most common and weakest level 1 monsters in the beginner dungeons mentioned in the textbook.

【Sharp-horned Rabbit】

[Level: lv1]

【Life: 50】

【Strength: 5】

[Skill: Horn Charge]

Very good, with just 5 points of strength, you can't even break through his defense.

In order to make the horned rabbit die more slowly, his defense points and experience points should be stacked more times.

Lin Yuan immediately removed his black iron equipment and only equipped himself with the original beginner's giant shield.

His health and armor also returned to 200 and 40 points respectively, down from 550 and 100.

Then, Lin Yuan adjusted his posture and launched a taunt skill at the three horned rabbits that were still eating grass!

[Taunt (lv1)]!

The three horned rabbits, their eyes red, charged straight at him at incredible speed.

Lin Yuan held his shield in front of him, ready to meet the onslaught of the three rabbits.

The three horned rabbits, their eyes red, were enraged by an invisible force.

They abandoned the grass in their mouths and charged straight at Lin Yuan at an extremely fast speed!

boom--!

boom--!

boom--!

Lin Yuan only felt three slight impacts coming from him.

It doesn't hurt; in fact, I feel a little like laughing.

Five points of strength were used to strike the shield, but the defense was not broken.

Lin Yuan was unharmed and felt no pain whatsoever.

And then the system notification sound came!

[Defense points increased by 1 after being attacked by a level 1 Horned Rabbit's horn ram]
