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

At the city gate.

Chen Ming put on the four new pieces of equipment given to him by Qin Zhixue.

"Um?"

Just as he opened the properties, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"What the heck?!"

These four epic-level items...

They're all fully upgraded with runes!

[Black Rhino Meteor Armor, Constitution +1500!]

[Cheng Ying Blade, Strength +30!]

[Tianyu boots, agility +30! 】

[Jade Wristband, restores +150!]

A full three levels of attribute boost!

Chen Ming blinked, and remained stunned for a long while.

Not only are they giving out equipment, but they're even including runes?

Isn't this joining the team a bit too good?

He glanced at his current screen.

[Level]: 6

【Strength】: 95

[Physical Fitness]: 5200/5200 (20%)

[Recovery]: 510 (19%)

[Agility]: 93

[Mental Strength]: 1520 (20%)

【Skill】:

[Rank C - The More You Fight, the Stronger You Become (lv.9)]

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

[SSS-Rank - Spirit - Annihilation (lv.0)]

The attributes increased dramatically!

Level 6, with a constitution attribute exceeding 5,000!

The strength attribute is almost up to 100.

After awakening the Annihilation Attack, every bit of increase in Chen Ming's strength attribute is now a significant boost.

After all, it's calculated based on a 10000% increase.

"Brother Chen, are you going to the guild to melt down and reforge your equipment and remove the runes?"

At this moment, Sun Yang walked over.

He excitedly hugged his four retired pieces of equipment, "Shall we go together?"

"Now?" Chen Ming asked.

Sun Yang nodded matter-of-factly. "Of course, now! Take the rune off and apply it to your new equipment. Aren't we going to the wilderness later?"

Upon hearing Sun Yang's words, Chen Ming immediately realized what was going on.

Only his four pieces of equipment have the full rune bonus.

This lavish treatment is specifically for him.

"Brother Chen, shall I take it over for you?"

Sun Yang asked.

Chen Ming coughed lightly and tossed his old equipment to Sun Yang.

"Please take it for me."

"Okay!"

Sun Yang took the equipment and immediately ran towards the guild.

Then, Chen Ming looked at Qin Zhixue.

They discovered that she was currently chatting with Lin Wei.

After noticing Chen Ming looking over, he glanced at him briefly and quickly looked away.

Chen Ming smiled, a slight upturn to his lips.

A strange sense of pride suddenly welled up inside me.

What to do if there's a rich woman in the team?

Of course, it's enjoyable!

Sun Yang returned very soon.

Chen Ming led the three of them out of the city gate and headed towards the location on the map.

......

Forest of Mythical Beasts.

In a dense forest somewhere.

thump—

A huge red tortoise collapsed to the ground with a thud.

As a beast with extremely high defensive capabilities, it is covered from head to toe with a thick and hard shell, as if it were wrapped in steel plates.

However, at this moment, the way this red-armored tortoise died was...

Divide into two!

The enormous tortoise shell was neatly cut in half!

The break was smooth and flat, with traces of pale blue flames still remaining on it.

[Defeat the Red-Armored Turtle (lv.7), experience +110!]

[Obtained: Red-Armored Turtle - Beast Core (lv.7)]

Chen Ming stepped forward and pulled the blade out of the red-armored turtle's corpse.

With a wave of his hand, all the flames on his body dissipated.

"If you calculate it that way, the one-hour duration of my skill after stacking attack damage is refreshed in real time."

After entering the Beast Forest, Chen Ming had the idea of ​​testing how to determine the duration of the Annihilation Attack.

It starts from the first stack of attack damage and lasts for one hour before being completely reset to zero.

Each attack marks the beginning of a duration.

The result was the latter!

Once the attack damage starts to stack, Chen Ming only needs to launch one attack within an hour.

Then it can last for another hour!

In this way, there would be no time limit for prolonged battles.

All I can say is...

As expected of a mental SSS-level skill!

That's absolutely awesome!

Not only does it last a long time, but its accumulation speed is also ridiculously fast.

It begins upon entering the Forest of Mythical Beasts.

Aside from the first few strange beasts Chen Ming encountered, which allowed him to accumulate experience for a while, there were also some other challenges.

Later on, he could kill a beast with just a dozen or so strikes.

And the speed is getting faster and faster!

Until just now...

Chen Ming's stacked attack damage reached 6000%!

With just two strikes, he instantly killed a level 7 Red Armored Turtle!

One strike pierces the armor, two strikes take him down.

"Holy crap, the first cut was 5400, and the second one was a whopping 11000?!"

"Brother Chen, your fighting power is terrifying!"

Not far behind, Sun Yang swallowed hard, staring in disbelief.

He hadn't even had a chance to get a good look at the red-armored tortoise.

Then all I saw was Brother Chen rushing forward.

He leaped into the air and swung two swords.

Immediately afterwards, the red-armored tortoise was killed.

Clean and efficient.

Without any hesitation or delay.

The key issue is the damage...

Ten thousand?!

What does this mean?

To put it another way, he's a level 3 B-rank assassin.

With a 20% bonus from professional talents and the added benefit of epic-level equipment, the Strength attribute reaches 66.

When facing a beast of the same level, if you unleash your full attack skills.

It can cause more than 100 damage.

And now, Brother Chen's casual slash is actually a hundred times more powerful than his!

"Miss, he..."

the other direction.

Lin Wei stared wide-eyed, her eyes filled with shock.

"This is outrageous!"

How could there be such high damage?!

Qin Zhixue was also unable to answer Lin Wei, and she was equally surprised.

She knew that Chen Ming had the ability to stack attacks.

But I never expected it to increase to such a terrifying level...

And judging from its appearance, it also has armor-piercing properties.

Two strikes were all it took to end the battle against a level 7 beast.

She hadn't even had a chance to launch an attack yet.

What kind of skill could produce such an effect?

From the moment they entered the Beast Forest, Chen Ming kept redefining Qin Zhixue's understanding of things.

Until just now...

A level 6 job changer, capable of instantly killing a level 7 beast with two strikes.

To be honest, even though I had personally witnessed Chen Ming's strength during the test...

However, Qin Zhixue still felt that teaming up with Chen Ming would be useful.

She is, after all, an SS-level Holy Angel.

They are extremely rare even among angel-type professions.

A well-rounded team with strong offense and defense capabilities!

It's almost a perfect career.

But now, for the first time, Qin Zhixue had some doubts...

Is she really able to cooperate with Chen Ming?

Or rather, can she truly fulfill the role of another "main player" in Tomorrow's Morning Squad that she envisions?

At this moment, Qin Zhixue remembered something else.

Your own 'team bonus'

[All attributes increased by 20%!]

At the very least, this will definitely be helpful to Chen Ming.

However, Qin Zhixue realized what was happening in the next second.

She has an SS-level profession.

As I kept thinking...

Are you positioning yourself as a support player?
