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

Once you get entangled, you'll be torn to pieces.

It seems the only option is to exit the beginner dungeon early.

But Lin Yuan, looking at his 170 armor points on his panel, wasn't worried at all.

Instead, he excitedly stretched his neck.

Come on, babies.

Lin Yuan immediately launched into a taunt.

[Taunt (lv2)]!

hum-

An invisible wave emanated from him.

"roar!!"

"Awooo!!"

The eyes of the five Gale Wolves, including the level 7 wolf king, instantly turned blood red!

Led by the wolf king, five gray figures pounced on Lin Yuan at an extremely fast speed!

"Well done!"

Lin Yuan neither dodged nor evaded, but simply raised the [Beginner's Giant Shield] in front of him, focusing on protecting his face and head.

He hadn't forgotten what he learned in the theory class.

As mentioned before, if an enemy's attack causes penetrating damage to the head, then just like before the universal job change, you will die!

As taught in textbooks, based on the Alliance's research over the years, the head of a job changer is the most vulnerable, easily struck by the opponent's attacks, and its defense is only half of its own.

In other words, his current armor and magic resistance are 160 and 110 respectively, and the armor and magic resistance values ​​of his head need to be halved.

This is a significant disadvantage for front-line tanks.

This is why the mortality rate of tanks is so high.

However, Lin Yuan didn't need to worry too much about this problem. Even with his defense halved, the opposing wolf pack still couldn't break through his defenses.

To deal critical hits and piercing damage, you first need to break through their defenses!

In the blink of an eye!

The attack of the five wolves has arrived!

Bang bang bang bang—!

The four level 3 Gale Wolves were the first to crash into Lin Yuan's shield and armor.

Lin Yuan felt as if he had been punched by four small fists, but it didn't hurt or itch.

[Attacked by a level 3 Gale Wolf, Defense Points +1]

[Experience Armor (lv1) triggered, experience points +1]

[Armor Proficiency +1]

【-twenty four】

In an instant, four messages flooded the screen.

Immediately following, the Gale Wolf King's [Bite] arrived!

Bang--!!

A muffled thud!

Lin Yuan felt that the force on the shield was significantly greater than that of the four combined.

As expected of an elite monster with 60 points of strength.

However, the defenses were still breached!

[Attacked by a level 7 Gale Wolf King, Defense Points +1]

[Experience Armor (lv1) triggered, experience points +1]

[Armor Proficiency +1]

【-twenty four】

The 4-second taunt timer has ended.

All five wolves were forced back a step by the recoil damage, completely stunned.

They looked down at their bleeding teeth and claws, then at Lin Yuan, who was completely unharmed.

Did they kick a hornet's nest?

"Huh?"

The wolf king was also stunned. Its strength of 60 points was not enough to bite this level 2 human.

"Don't just stand there!"

"Hey, big guy, haven't you eaten?"

"And you four little ones, have all your teeth grown in yet?"

"Come on, keep hitting me!"

Lin Yuan's verbal sparring is even more effective than his skills.

If he could, he would actually like to keep taunting people.

However, it costs 20 mana to activate once, and has a one-minute cooldown.

Shield warriors have too little mana.

He felt helpless about this.

Lin Yuan suddenly realized that he needed mana-restoring accessories more than health-restoring accessories.

As an elite monster, the Wolf King possesses intelligence.

It felt an unprecedented insult!

"roar--!!"

[The Wolf King Roars!]

An invisible wave of energy spread out, and the four Gale Wolves instantly became even more ferocious.

The wolf king's eyes were also bloodshot as he unleashed a ferocious pounce!

It transformed into a gray shadow, three times faster than before!

Bang bang bang bang!

The five wolves launched another attack.

[Defense Points +5]

[Experience points +5]

[Proficiency +5]

【-3】【-3】【-3】【-3】【-3】

"Cool!!"

Lin Yuan was so comfortable he almost groaned.

This screen-refreshing speed is so relaxing!

Anyone who didn't know better would think Lin Yuan was a masochist, just standing there letting others beat him up.

About an hour later.

"Aww..."

With a series of mournful cries, the four level 3 Gale Wolves finally died from the reflected damage after attacking Lin Yuan for the 50th time.

[Slay a level 3 Gale Wolf, experience points +10!]

[Slay a level 3 Gale Wolf, experience points +10!]

[Slay a level 3 Gale Wolf, experience points +10!]

[Slay a level 3 Gale Wolf, experience points +10!]

[Gained 40 Gold Coins]

Lin Yuan's level finally rose from level 2 to level 3.

It's a bit of a pity that the four Gale Wolves didn't accumulate all 200 defensive points, because there was also the Wolf King's attack in between.

Fortunately, shortly after he leveled up to level 3, the four level 3 Gale Wolves were killed by the reflected damage.

And his experience bar changed as well.

[Level: 3 (40/300)]

The Swift Wolf King's health points dropped from 500 to 410.

As his level increased, his health also increased to 400, and his damage reflection increased to 4 points.

The Gale Wolf King was enraged to see that all his underlings were dead.

"roar!"

The wolf king went completely mad, fiercely pouncing, biting, and brandishing its claws.

boom! boom! boom!

[Defense Points +1]

[Experience points +1]

[Proficiency +1]

【-twenty four】

Unfortunately, no matter how the Gale Wolf King attacked, Lin Yuan remained unharmed.

Whenever Lin Yuan's persuasive skills fail and the Gale Wolf King needs to escape, Lin Yuan will promptly use his [Taunt] skill.

Another hour has passed.

This level 7 Gale Wolf King's health bar has finally reached zero.

"roar……"

The wolf king glanced unwillingly at the iron turtle, then its massive body crashed to the ground.

[Slay a level 7 elite Gale Wolf King, experience points +100]

[Gained 200 Gold Coins]

A burst of black iron light erupted from the spot where the wolf king died.

Those were a pair of bluish-gray combat boots.

Lin Yuan walked over and picked it up.

[Equipment: Swift Boots]

[Quality: Black Iron]

[Wearing Level: lv3]

[Attributes: Armor +10, Agility +5]

"Increases agility!"

Lin Yuan was overjoyed!

He's currently level 3, and his base agility is only 3 points.

Lin Yuan equipped the shoes without hesitation and opened the information panel.

Name: Lin Yuan

[Class: Unbreakable Bulwark (Giant Shield Knight)]

[Talent: Undying]

[Level: 3 (242/300)]

【Life: 400】

[Mana: 70]

【Strength: 15】

Agility: 3 (+5)

Armor: 200 (+10+20)

[Magic Resistance: 120]

[Physical Fitness: 30]

【Mental Power: 24】

[Active Skills: Shield Bash (lv3), Taunt (lv3)]

Passive Skill: Absolute Defense (lv1)

[Equipped: Beginner's Great Shield, Swift Boots]

[Defense Point: 302]

As he levels up, his attributes change again, and his active skills are all upgraded to level 3.

[Shield Bash (lv3): Active skill, consumes 10 mana, raises shield and slams down on the target, dealing (15 + Strength * 1) physical damage, with a 60% chance to stun the target. Cooldown: 25 seconds]

[Taunt (lv3): Active skill, consumes 20 mana, taunts all enemies within a 14-meter radius, forcing all hit targets to immediately switch their attack to you for the next 5 seconds. Cooldown: 55 seconds]

The biggest increase was obviously in his defense stat.

However, while his defense stat increased quickly, his experience gained was slightly slower.

Moreover, after such a long time, his proficiency level has only reached 402. It will probably take quite some time to reach 1000.

Lin Yuan sat down on the grass and took out some food to eat.

He did not rush to allocate defensive points.

He made a decision: in order to keep up with the experience points and avoid a situation where the attacks of the Gale Wolf, which had just been upgraded to level three, could no longer increase his defense points and experience.

He plans to go straight to the core area of ​​the instance!

Head straight for the level 10 boss!

This is the only way to maximize the effectiveness of his [Experience Armor] and [Indestructibility]!

Once he reaches level 5, he will not only gain a new skill, but also a new gold attribute.

……

Outside the instance.

The school's teachers did not leave the field but remained on standby on the playground.

Especially the teachers in the support departments.

Every year, some students trigger their student IDs the moment they enter for the first time.

They need to receive timely treatment for their injuries.

On the podium.

Ouyang Lingyun said to Lu Yun, "More than three hours have passed now, and quite a few people have come out of the dungeon. Most of them are still level 1, and a few are level 2."

Do you think anyone will break the record this year?

"I remember that in previous years, the highest level I came out of the dungeon the first time was level 6."

Lu Yun nodded: "I don't know about that. What level do you think your daughter will be, City Lord Ouyang?"

"Judging from your expression, you must have prepared a lot of good things for her, right?"

Ouyang Lingyun chuckled: "It's just that I prepared some equipment and skill scrolls for her."

As Ouyang Lingyun's daughter, Ouyang Xue naturally possessed full sets of black iron-level equipment after awakening.

It's not that we don't want to provide higher quality equipment.

Instead, the minimum equipment requirement for equipment of Black Iron quality or higher is level 5.

As for skill scrolls, using them allows a user to immediately acquire a random skill.

The skills that can be learned vary depending on the level of the skill scroll.
