With the class change to Shield Guardian and maxed-out defense, I can maintain infinite health.

"Hmm...should we disband the party?"

Chen Ming pondered.

The formation of this team was entirely due to a chance encounter and the school's encouragement.

It wasn't just him and Qin Zhixue; there were two other people who wanted to form a team.

Everyone has now successfully changed jobs.

They each need to find and build their own combat teams.

Building a team is no trivial matter.

Teammates who fight side by side must be able to trust each other.

Chen Ming didn't know these three people very well.

Qin Zhixue had spent some time exchanging ideas and learning with him.

As for personality...

As his name suggests, he's quite cold.

As for the other two, he was genuinely unfamiliar with them.

and......

Chen Ming looked at the team member information on the panel.

Qin Zhixue - SS-Rank Holy Angel

Song Chuan - S-Rank Battle Soul Vanguard

Jiang Yi – Rank A Tide Mage

Including him, the four of them are the top four in terms of potential in this cohort.

So unsurprisingly, the other three had pretty high job advancement levels.

Especially Qin Zhixue.

His position as a C-level captain seemed somewhat out of place.

"Never mind, they'll probably back out on their own."

After thinking it over, Chen Ming immediately rejected the idea of ​​disbanding the team.

He came up with the team name.

He created the team himself.

Why should we dissolve it just to consider others?

If you don't want to stay in the team, you can just leave.

Furthermore, creating a team requires spending gold coins.

One gold coin is equal to ten thousand.

Creating a team of four would cost 40,000.

This is quite a lot of money for someone changing jobs in the early stages.

Although he didn't spend any money back then, he got the school's fees for free...

However, this was something he earned by ranking first in mental potential, so isn't it his?

Chen Ming then opened his professional panel.

Get ready to take a closer look at your data.

A thought struck him.

The information came into view.

Name: Chen Ming

[Occupation]: Shield Guard (Rank C)

[Level]: 1

【Strength】: 10

[Physical Fitness]: 600/600 (20%)

[Recovery]: 55 (10%)

[Agility]: 10

[Mental Strength]: 119 (19%)

【Skill】:

[Rank C - The More You Fight, the Stronger You Become (lv.0)]

Passive skill: Allows you to continuously enter a recovery state without leaving combat, increasing recovery efficiency by 10%.

-

Class C and above professions will have built-in attribute bonuses.

Grade C adds to a single attribute, Grade B adds to two attributes...

This is why there are such large differences between professions of different levels.

Being one tier higher in your profession means you get an extra 20% bonus to one attribute!

His C-rank shield guard only has one constitution bonus.

"The more they fight, the stronger they become..."

Chen Ming looked at his skills.

Although it's only a C-level skill, if used well, it can be considered a pretty good skill.

This is equivalent to a move recovery from an unconstrained state.

It just requires some recovery attributes.

【Ding--】

Just then.

A melodious and ethereal voice rang in my ears.

[Charging progress 100%!]

Chen Ming's eyes widened immediately.

coming!

finally come!

Looking at the pop-up notification.

For the first time, a genuine smile appeared on his usually calm face.

Three years! It wasn't a wasted wait.

[You have activated a special talent: You can gain an additional SSS-level skill every 10 levels!]

[You have received the activation reward: a random max-level SSS-rank skill!]

[Would you like to collect it immediately?]

"An SSS skill every 10 levels?!"

When Chen Ming saw the first message, his breathing quickened.

Every 10 levels a player gains, they can awaken a new skill using rare resources.

Aside from the first skill level being tied to the class, the levels of subsequent awakening skills are not fixed.

Lower-level job changers have the opportunity to awaken advanced skills through rare resources.

same.

Even high-level job changers can awaken low-level skills if they fail to acquire enough resources.

Therefore, although the gap between job changers begins from the moment they awaken, it is not entirely fixed.

Otherwise, why would low-level job changers be so enthusiastic about leveling up and challenging dungeons?

And now.

For every 10 levels Chen Ming gains, he is guaranteed to directly obtain an SSS-level skill.

It's important to know that even SSS-level job changers can't guarantee that they'll awaken an SSS-level skill every time.

"Does this count as giving me a second job, or one that doesn't require acquiring resources?"

Chen Ming couldn't help but think of it.

He looked at the second message again.

But then he froze.

"This... a max-level SSS skill?"

He understands that there is a skill every 10 levels and knows its value.

But this activation reward...

Compared to SSS-level skills, Chen Ming was more concerned about, or rather puzzled by, the word "max level".

Unlike the usual method of gaining experience to level up.

Skill level reflects skill proficiency and control.

He turned his head and nudged Sun Yang, who was peering at the platform, with his elbow.

Is there a skill level cap?

"Skill level? Of course not."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yang scratched his head, looking puzzled.

Chen Ming nodded; he also remembered that the information he had always known was that there was none.

So it seems that way.

No one in this world has yet been able to raise their skill level to the maximum.

Will he be the first person to have maxed-out skills?

It's still an SSS-level skill!

"Brother Chen, have you forgotten Teacher Wang's classic quote?"

Sun Yang seemed to have started a conversation.

He coughed twice and said in a serious tone, "There are no useless skills, only useless job changers..."

"What they're saying is that we should focus on improving our skill levels, because their potential is virtually limitless..."

"Okay, okay, I just wanted to confirm."

Chen Ming raised his hand, interrupting him from continuing.

He then eagerly looked at his activation reward and silently said "Claim".

As the subtitles flashed, a new notification popped up.

You have successfully awakened the SSS-level skill: Absolute Defense (Max Level)

Absolute defense?!

Chen Ming's heart skipped a beat; defense was a special attribute.

He quickly looked at his career panel.

Name: Chen Ming

...

【Skill】:

[Rank C - The More You Fight, the Stronger You Become (lv.0)]

Passive ability: Allows you to continuously enter a recovery state without leaving combat, increasing recovery efficiency by 10%.

[SSS-Rank - Absolute Defense (Max Level)]

Passive ability: When receiving physical/mental damage, determines the constitution/mental attributes of both the enemy and the ally.

If the damage is lower than your physical/mental strength, you will receive 0 points of physical/mental damage; if the damage is higher than your physical/mental strength, you will receive 1 point of physical/mental damage!

-

"Holy crap..."

After Chen Ming quickly finished reading the skill descriptions...

I blurted out a swear word without thinking.

This skill seems a bit overpowered!

"Brother Chen, what's wrong...?"

Sun Yang turned his head and saw that Chen Ming looked inexplicably excited.

His eyes were wide open, staring straight ahead.

"You haven't really been through something traumatic, have you?"

At this moment, Chen Ming had no time to pay attention to Sun Yang.

He read through the description of "Absolute Defense" again, word by word.

He then swallowed hard, deeply shocked.

What kind of bug-level skill is this?!

Anyone whose attributes are lower than his cannot cause him any damage at all.

Even if your attributes exceed his, no matter how much they exceed, you can only deal 1 point of damage per hit.

Even if a deity were to arrive, it would only deal 1 point of damage.

Even if you were the King of Heaven, you'd have to cut him six hundred times to kill him now!
