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

"hold head high--!"

In the copy.

Upon seeing the arrival of Chen Ming and his group of four.

The azure mammoth trembled violently and let out an extremely furious roar.

The sound waves rose one after another.

As if it had materialized, it spread out in circles across the wasteland.

Sun Yang lost his balance and was sent flying backward by the sound wave.

"Holy crap..."

Sun Yang covered his buttocks and got up from the ground.

"I'll just stay back and watch Brother Chen's performance."

As he spoke, Sun Yang took off running to the very back of the wasteland.

He only has a pitiful level 6.

Facing a level 20 beast, even the aftershocks could send him flying like a fly.

"It seems it won't be an easy kill."

Qin Zhixue was also observing the mammoth.

Although he was in a critically injured and near-death state.

But the level difference is too great.

Regardless of anything else.

The defensive power of a level 20 beast alone is a major headache for every team.

Therefore, this seemingly simple level-up task is not so easy to complete.

However, this was to be expected.

If it could be killed with just two casual hits.

Then the difference between the teams is probably not even that big.

At times like this.

This is the time to test the team's coordination and overall strength.

of course.

In the Morning Squad.

I never talk about these trivial things.

Chen Ming's figure passed through the roar of the mammoth.

He leaped up.

He drew a flaming longsword in mid-air.

Then.

He cleaved the mammoth's head in two!

laugh--

The blade sliced ​​through the tusk, which was larger than any other tusk.

Sparks flew everywhere, accompanied by the clanging of metal.

-50!

Chen Ming sheathed his sword and landed on the ground.

"Only this much damage? This mammoth's defense is really high."

This damage was inflicted even after Qin Zhixue had already granted him the ability to increase all attributes by 20%.

When the gap in levels is too large.

Under normal circumstances, attacks will indeed be greatly reduced by defenses.

only.

Chen Ming is least afraid of alien beasts with high defense.

"Ugh~~"

The azure mammoth let out a low growl.

The voice sounded full of contempt and disdain.

Such lowly humans...

Did it also try to kill it?

It's ridiculous.

50 damage is practically nothing compared to scratching an itch...

Sudden.

The azure mammoth suddenly widened its eyes.

[100% Armor Penetration!]

"hold head high?!"

The mammoth was enraged.

His eyes were wide open in anger.

His eyes were filled with disbelief and a hint of panic.

As a member of the mammoth race, how could its defenses be completely breached?!

now.

The mammoth's eyes turned crimson as it began to draw upon the protective power of its bloodline.

At the same time, an invisible force erupted around it.

This is the oppressive aura of a level 20 beast.

The air felt oppressive and heavy.

Under this pressure, it becomes extremely difficult for low-level job changers to take any action.

Unfortunately...

But there are people who can't handle pressure.

Chen Ming slowly raised the knife in his hand, and azure flames roared.

It emitted bursts of flames.

He walked forward calmly and composedly.

It was as if the terrifying pressure around them did not exist at all.

puff!

Chen Ming swung his knife a second time.

——【552!】

Armor penetration 100% + attack stacking 200%!

The damage increased by an absurdly large tenfold!

"hiss......"

This strike will go down.

Even Chen Ming himself was somewhat surprised.

So, if we calculate it that way...

With the 100% armor penetration attribute applied, the damage is more than five times that of normal!

And this is five times the initial damage!

The difference becomes obvious when you make a comparison.

Without armor penetration, Chen Ming's initial stacked attack damage starts at 40.

40 once, 80 twice, 120 three times...

And it penetrates 100% of the armor.

The base damage is then increased to over two hundred!

That is, 200% of Chen Ming's strength attribute, the most original and true value.

"This SSS-level mental skill is getting better and better the more you use it."

Especially in battles that involve enemies of significantly higher levels, when facing enemies with extremely high defense.

It deals true damage after breaking through defenses and stacks attack power.

It's like stepping on your right foot with your left, spiraling upwards!

Without further hesitation, Chen Ming launched a full-scale attack.

The third strike was unleashed with ferocity.

——【828!】

The fourth cut...

The Azure Flame Slash has begun to take shape.

——【1104!】

Damage exceeded 1000!

The fifth cut...

Chen Ming stopped pretending.

They can launch an attack while standing still.

Anyway, the beast is bound and won't run away.

This saved Chen Ming a lot of trouble, since he really couldn't outrun a level 20 beast.

Stand and fight.

That's what he's best at!

——【1380!】

The azure mammoth roared, its voice tinged with a hint of malice.

This attack has already begun to affect its critically injured and dying state.

Hidden wounds began to appear on its body.

I truly felt a real threat of death!

It wants to launch an attack.

Using the power of a giant elephant, crush the humans before them.

However, all attacks were dissolved by the power of the dungeon rules the instant they were launched.

It has the momentum, but no real power.

Not far away.

Sun Yang watched as Chen Ming stood in front of the Tianqing Mammoth.

Directly attack in the face.

He chuckled.

"Your first hit did low damage, and you're mocking me, Brother Chen, because you're arrogant..."

"If you get hit in the face with this attack now, your fate is uncertain!"

......

Outside the instance.

A group of advanced job changers stared intently at the scenes displayed on the light screen.

"While this method allows for rapid upgrades, it also severely tests the overall strength of the team."

Although level 20 beasts are restricted, they are practically sitting ducks.

However, under the oppressive force unleashed by the dying beast, killing it is quite difficult.

Many people are paying attention to the performance of the teams from various cities.

However, most teams encountered numerous problems even in effective teamwork under the pressure of level 20 beasts.

Seeing this, many people secretly shook their heads.

"Hey, look! Lu Shan's Golden Gang Squad has launched their attack. Not bad!"

Someone pointed at the light screen and said.

In one of the scenes.

Lu Shan, wielding a two- or three-meter-long black halberd, charged ahead.

He single-handedly withstood the oppressive power of the strange beast.

"SS-rank professions can withstand considerable pressure even when facing beasts that are much higher in level than themselves."

People sighed.

There's nothing we can do about it; it's an innate advantage.

Meanwhile, many people also began searching for footage of Mingchen's team.

As both teams are SS-level, they naturally attract a lot of attention.

Moreover.

After what happened on the outskirts of the wasteland near the mountain.

They all realized that this team was somewhat unusual...

Especially that C-level captain named Chen Ming!
