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

"Lin Yuan was so righteous and fearless that he did not hesitate to use his most precious treasure to save us."

"And I actually targeted him out of jealousy? I'm not even human!"

Ye Cang slapped himself hard, his eyes becoming more determined than ever before.

Lin Yuan had no idea that this group of people had already imagined a dramatic, heart-wrenching story for the year.

Seeing that the time was right, he immediately began assigning tasks.

If this drags on any longer, the demon soldiers will surround us again.

"Alright, stop getting so emotional! Save your tears for later!"

Lin Yuan shouted loudly, giving his command with unwavering composure:

"There are too many of these abyssal demon soldiers; leave them to me!"

"All of you, attack that skeletal dragon!"

"Ji Qingyue! Ye Cang!"

Lin Yuan called out names directly.

"exist!!"

The two men almost instinctively stood at attention and responded loudly, their attitude even more respectful than towards the principal.

"You two are the highest level, and you've reached level 20 now."

"You're in charge of this group! Make sure you bring that skeletal dragon down to its health bar!"

"Is it even possible?!"

"Mission accomplished!!"

With bloodshot eyes, Ye Cang roared, "Lin Yuan, don't worry! If we can't kill that dragon, I'll bring you my head!"

Ji Qingyue nodded emphatically, her cold eyes burning with fighting spirit:

"Leave it to me."

"Lin Yuan, I will thank you properly when we get out of here."

Allocation complete.

Lin Yuan stopped talking and turned to rush towards the area where the demon soldiers were most concentrated.

"Shockwave!!"

"boom!!"

Another earth-shattering blow!

Another hundred demon soldiers were reduced to ashes!

On the other side...

On the edge of Lin Yuan's [Knight's Dance] effect.

Ye Cang and Ji Qingyue, leading hundreds of "high-defense warriors," pounced on the skeletal dragon like wolves.

"Perfect, I've broken through to level 20, I can try out my new skills."

Ji Qingyue's long sword hummed softly.

The instant she leveled up, she not only learned a new level 20 skill, but also poured all the massive amount of experience she had gained from killing monsters into this skill!

Even those precious level 20 skill points were added to her passive skill without hesitation!

[Effect: Concentrates all sword intent to deal massive single-target damage to the target, plus 30% true damage!]

"Lin Yuan gave me the opportunity to deal damage, so I'm going to achieve the highest DPS!"

Ji Qingyue's beautiful eyes narrowed, and the long sword in her hand turned into a blur.

"Taiyi Shattering Star Slash! Break!"

shhhhhh!

Sword energy crisscrossed, each strike precisely piercing the dragon's joints. Moreover, due to the passive enhancement, the power of each strike was greatly increased compared to before!

On the other side...

"Hmph, don't think you're the only one who got promoted!"

Ye Cangye chuckled.

He was lucky enough to get a passive skill that increases defense when he randomly drew a skill at level 20!

He didn't hesitate to add skill points to it.

[Passive: Holy Light Barrier (lv2)]

Normally, he would hesitate to add skill points to this passive ability.

After all, he doesn't have many skills that deal damage based on defense.

His own defense value of over 1,000 is actually sufficient.

But things are different now!

What he needs right now is a high defense value!

This way he can deal damage exceeding his own level!

Ye Cang trembled with excitement, raised his spare longsword, and charged forward like a madman.

"You dragon grandson! Take this!"

Meanwhile, a spectacular scene unfolded on the altar plaza.

Lin Yuan moved like a bulldozer, and wherever he faced, swathes of demon soldiers vanished.

"Shockwave! Shockwave! It's a damn shockwave!"

In just five minutes.

Lin Yuan smashed it more than a dozen times!

He single-handedly cleared out the thousands of Abyss Demon Soldiers that had surrounded him in a dense and despairing manner!

The entire battlefield was littered with the remains of monsters; not a single standing soldier could be seen.

On the other side...

Led by Ye Cang and Ji Qingyue, hundreds of students with explosive defense surrounded the skeletal dragon and unleashed a barrage of attacks.

Since the defense is high, the dragon's normal attacks won't hurt much, so everyone can just stand still and attack!

As their levels increased, their attacks became less of a nuisance to the dragon.

Moreover, if one person's attack is like scraping, what about hundreds of people?

Some players with many skills spam their skills relentlessly.

My mana bar is running low, time to use a potion!

Five minutes later.

"Awooo!!"

With a mournful cry of despair, the massive skeletal dragon, its body covered in blood, crashed to the ground.

And its health bar was reduced by a third!

Although his [Abyssal Corruption] deals true damage of 10 to all attacks, under the command of Ji Qingyue and Ye Cang...

Those tanky shield warriors took turns absorbing damage in an orderly fashion.

If your health drops below the safe level, immediately retreat to the back and receive treatment from the priest.

and.

If you really encounter a large-area skill that you have to dodge.

Lin Yuan will also take action.

His mental strength is so high that he can multitask.

Whenever the dragon tries to unleash a team-wiping skill like [Abyssal Dragon Roar]...

A precise taunt will fly in from afar!

Forced interruption!

The skeletal dragon was finally afraid.

For the first time, this golden boss, possessing simple wisdom, felt fear.

Why do these ants bite so painfully?!

Just as he was preparing to take flight again.

"Thump!"

A dull, loud thud resounded in front of it.

The ground trembled.

The skeletal dragon instinctively raised its head.

A figure radiating a dark golden light, resembling a god or demon, slowly walked up to it.

"All the fodder has been cleared out."

"Now."

"Your turn, little lizard."

At this moment, Lin Yuan silently added all the remaining defensive points to the armor.

If not now, when?

The base armor value has been increased from over 2 to 14!

Even so, his shockwave could only cause a maximum of 28 damage, which was far from enough!

Fortunately, Lin Yuan put his last two skill points into [Absolute Defense].

[Ding! Consumed 1 skill point, Absolute Defense upgraded to level 2!]

[Ding! Consumed 1 skill point, Absolute Defense upgraded to level 3!]

[Absolute Defense (lv3): Passive skill, increases armor and magic resistance by 4 times]

The original base armor of 14 has become a terrifying 28 with the upgrade to Absolute Defense!

Just as he was about to attack, a voice rang out.

"Lin Yuan, I'll boost your defense!"
