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

[Defeat the Lightning Lion King (lv.21), EXP +0!]

[Obtained: Lightning Lion King - Beast Core (lv.21)]

[Received: Power Runestone *9!]

"As expected, I won't gain any experience."

"But in that case, the three of them should have more experience, right?"

Thinking about it, Chen Ming looked at Qin Zhixue and the other two.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as he predicted.

On the wasteland.

Two auras of upgrading emanated from the area.

This round is over.

The three of them gained 3400 experience points!

Qin Zhixue also leveled up to level 10 in one go, with just the right amount of experience.

Sun Yang, on the other hand, has been promoted to level 9.

"One more should be enough."

......

Outside the instance.

The group watched until they saw Chen Ming kill the Lion King with a single finger.

Only then did they belatedly realize that the bizarre battle was already over.

It all started when Chen Ming stood in front of the Lion King.

The scene that followed was already somewhat incomprehensible to the audience.

They saw a shield materialize around Chen Ming's body.

The shield then repeatedly shattered, reformed, and shattered under the Lion King's almost frenzied attacks...

The scene was extremely bizarre.

The expressions on everyone's faces gradually changed from initial doubt and confusion to astonishment.

"What the hell? The lion king bit out a shield with one bite?"

"Every time the Lion King breaks his shield, the shield reappears the very next second!"

"Is Chen Ming's shield infinite?"

"What kind of ability is this?!"

"So his incredible resilience is due to a shield skill that can be continuously cast?"

"He's a shieldbearer, so it's reasonable for him to have a shield."

"Tell me, which C-grade shield can be infinitely released to block a level 20 monster?"

"And aside from the final blow, he didn't make a single move. How did the Lion King die?"

Could it be that Chen Ming is poisonous?

Was he poisoned to death by the Lion King?

"It's a backlash ability!"

At this moment, the Jiang Xunshi (Imperial Envoy) in the sky spoke.

He stated with certainty, "Chen Ming possesses a backlash-type skill; the Lion King was literally killed by the backlash."

Upon hearing this...

A group of people who had changed jobs in various cities also realized what was happening.

"I see!"

They suddenly realized.

"That doesn't make sense either. Chen Ming did launch so many attacks from the Lion King. How do you explain that?" someone asked.

The crowd fell silent again.

Because no one can answer this question.

He stood still and took the brunt of the attacks from a level 20 beast.

In the end, nothing happened.

This was the first time they had ever witnessed something like this in their decades of life.

Which job changer doesn't have to constantly tug at the enemy and find opportunities to attack when fighting against a monster?

Let alone fighting opponents of a higher level.

Even when fighting beasts of a lower level than himself, he would not let them get close.

This is common knowledge among human job seekers.

Always cherish every bit of your physical attributes, because they represent your life.

But when it came to Chen Ming, things were different...

They allowed the monsters to attack freely.

This is no longer a question of whether it is reasonable or not.

This is an inhumane way of fighting.

......

the other side.

Chen Ming has already started the sixth round of the level 20 beast dungeon.

This time, he didn't let the beast tickle him.

The test of the shield parry skill is complete, and we have a better understanding of its effectiveness.

He also put his mind to something else.

Chen Ming drew his long sword and launched a leisurely attack on the level 20 beast.

This scene.

On the contrary, it greatly relieved the people who were waiting outside the instance.

That's more like it...

It would be so much better to be normal!

Let's give them some fancy tricks, round after round.

It's so intense it's almost unbearable for anyone to watch.

On the wasteland of the instance.

-12960!

After breaking through the defense with the first strike.

Chen Ming unleashed another strike, dealing 10,000 damage!

Just as he was about to raise his hand to deliver the finishing blow.

Chen Ming's aura suddenly changed!

A visible, solid pressure emanated from his body.

In an instant, the dissipated attribute energy flowed around like ripples on water.

This energy expanded outwards, enveloping Chen Ming's entire body in a phantom image.

"Hmm? This is..."

Chen Ming was slightly taken aback, as he was very familiar with this feeling.

He has entered a state of manifesting energy.

I remember last time.

He entered this state when he was still level 6, having accumulated 9000% of his power.

And now.

It's 4000%!

In terms of speed alone, it has more than doubled.

now.

His strike had already landed.

The blade tip, enveloped in immense energy, sliced ​​through the air.

boom--

The casually swung sword burst forth with a brilliant light.

With astonishing force, it suddenly pierced through the body of the strange beast in front of it.

Moreover, a substantial blade of light sliced ​​through the sky.

A long, winding line was carved out of the wasteland.

[Slaying the Thorn Tree Spirit (lv.20), experience +0!]

[Obtained: Thorn Tree Spirit - Beast Core (lv.20)]

[Received: 3 Spirit Runestones!]

brush--

On the wasteland.

Sun Yang and Lin Wei have successfully leveled up to level 10!

This is the end.

Six rounds of level 20 beasts finally brought the four members of Mingchen's team to level 10!

Outside the instance.

What Chen Ming didn't know was...

He entered the manifest state unintentionally at the end.

This caused an uproar outside the instance.

"Holy crap! Energy manifested!"

"He can still enter a manifest state?!"

"Awesome, a level 10 energy manifestation, unprecedented!"

"Now I finally understand why Chen Ming is so strong."

This moment.

The crowd erupted in excitement.

If Chen Ming's previous actions had left them feeling incredulous and unable to understand, then...

Now, they are being shocked in a very direct way.

Because they really know this thing.

Energy Manifestation is an ability that most players who have changed jobs at level 20 or above can master.

This can be considered a landmark ability in the second field.

Many of the job seekers from various cities present were also in this field.

Doesn't that mean...?

Judging solely from the level of control over attribute energy, Chen Ming, a level 10 job changer, is already on par with them.

In a short time.

Many people's mindset has quietly changed.

They were originally high-level professionals in various cities.

When facing this group of young people who have awakened this year.

They still consider themselves the stronger ones, believing themselves to be their predecessors who have gone before them.

But now Chen Ming has appeared.

However, it subtly revealed the gap between the two groups.

"Isn't this generation of newcomers a bit too fierce?"
