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

"Don't cry later."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

As soon as Jack finished speaking his humiliating words, the opposing teams from both countries burst into a cacophony of loud laughter.

The laughter echoed through the narrow canyon, sounding particularly arrogant.

Captain Abe Jiro of the Sakura Kingdom, while waving his folding fan covered in talismans, added insult to injury with a sarcastic tone:

"Jack, don't say that."

"China is a land of etiquette; perhaps this 'newcomer' possesses some extraordinary qualities?"

Abe Jiro narrowed his long, thin eyes, his gaze sweeping over Lin Yuan, and said mockingly:

"For example, his defense is exceptionally high? He can withstand more damage than a tortoise! ​​Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, the others laughed even louder.

Clearly, the news that Lin Yuan possessed "300,000 defense" had not spread overseas.

This is also a strategic protection at the national level.

So now.

In the eyes of the Free Federation and the Sakura Country, Lin Yuan was just an ignorant and arrogant freshman who was brought out to get some experience.

At most, he's just over level 20!

On such a battlefield, they aren't even considered cannon fodder.

however.

Tang Yu, Zhang Lie, and others, who were Lin Yuan's teammates, had very strange expressions on their faces at this moment.

They looked at each other.

There was no anger.

There was no humiliation.

There's only one kind of "caring" look in their eyes when they're looking at an idiot.

Do they think they're funny?

Zhang Lie muttered something under his breath, too lazy to even raise the staff in his hand.

The people on the other side found their reaction strange.

Normally, shouldn't these proud and arrogant geniuses in China be furious after being humiliated like this?

Why are you all so calm, like you're watching a show?

"snort."

Lei Xiao snorted coldly, stepped forward, and interrupted the laughter from the other side.

"In accordance with the rules of the Convention on International Competition for Resources."

"Whoever's team from our three kingdoms enters the depths of the mine first and defeats the guardian boss will gain ownership of the Azure Island."

Lei Xiao pointed his dragon spear and said in a deep voice:

"What are you trying to do, blocking this way?"

"Openly tearing up the treaty? Do they want to kill us?"

The boss that Lei Xiao mentioned is not one of the wild monsters outside.

Instead, it was discovered by the joint intelligence network of the three kingdoms: an ancient crystal behemoth entrenched in the deepest part of the mine.

That's the key to deciding the outcome.

Upon hearing this...

Jack, carrying the thunder hammer, gradually turned his smile into a ferocious grin.

"treaty?"

"That's for the weak to follow."

"If we kill you all, there will be no Chinese people here."

"Then, if both teams go in and kill the boss, won't the result be the same?"

Jack suddenly waved his hand, his eyes revealing murderous intent:

"Do it!!"

"Leave no one alive!!"

boom!!

With a command given, the 12 foreign elites, who had been waiting in ambush, launched a thunderous offensive!

This was a premeditated hunt!

"Summoning shikigami! Kurotengu! Ōtakemaru!"

Jiro Abe of Japan was the first to make a move.

As a legendary Onmyoji, he formed hand seals, and two enormous black shadows instantly emerged from the void!

A black tengu wielding a round fan and with wings that blotted out the sky stirred up a whirlwind, blocking the Chinese team's aerial vision.

The other Ōtakemaru, covered in sharp spikes, roared and charged towards Leixiao head-on, like a heavy tank!

"Shadow Cloak - Finishing Blow!"

At the same time, the three shadow dancers from the Sakura Kingdom vanished from their spot.

Using the shadows created by the Black Tengu, they bypassed the front row like invisible venomous snakes, their poisoned daggers aimed directly at Zhang Lie and Su Qing in the back row!

On the main battlefield.

"Thor's Wrath!!"

Jack was enveloped in lightning, transforming into a streak of blue lightning.

He leaped high into the air, and with immense force, the giant thunder hammer in his hand slammed down on the center of the Chinese team's formation!

This is not just about inflicting damage, but also about disrupting their formation!

The most terrifying one was Wilson, the burly black man standing at the very back.

He didn't rush up immediately, but instead raised the huge Destruction Battle Axe and slashed it fiercely into the void!

Gravity suppression!

A terrifying gravitational field instantly enveloped the Chinese team.

Everyone's movements slowed down in that instant.

Perfect teamwork!

Onmyoji control the battlefield, assassins flank the backline, warriors charge into the fray, and powerful players hold the line!

This is the terrifying suppressive power of two top teams joining forces!

If it were an ordinary team, or even one of the same level, facing this combination of attacks, they would probably suffer casualties and be defeated the moment they met.

however.

Faced with this overwhelming attack.

Lin Yuan, who was at the center of the storm, only frowned slightly.

Knight's Dance!

Protect the barrier!

The originally pale gold defensive halo suddenly shone brightly, transforming into a tangible golden wall that tightly protected the six people within it!

Not only that.

Lin Yuan also added a thick shield to everyone.

After doing all this, Lin Yuan calmly said, "I'll defend against it."

"Captain, just keep attacking."

"Su Qing, stay behind me. Don't worry about anyone else. Just keep an eye on my health bar and be wary of their true damage, especially that black man."

Lin Yuan's gaze pierced through the chaotic battlefield, locking onto Wilson behind him.

He could sense that that person was the only threat.

Under the watchful eye of the omniscient and omnipotent Lin Yuan, Wilson's skills were all exposed to Lin Yuan's strictness.

One of his skills is incredibly powerful, even stronger than their captain Lei Xiao!

This may be due to the difference in their social standing.

One is level 41, and the other is level 49!

Actually, on the way from the landing point all the way here...

Lin Yuan wasn't idle; besides clearing out the monsters, he was also constantly thinking of countermeasures.

Now that we know the opponent has three legendary skills, and possibly even high-level true damage skills.

Relying solely on defense is definitely not enough.

Health points!

We must increase our health!

Thus, the experience gained from killing monsters along the way.

Besides leveling up Gravity Traction to level 25, he also put experience into the [Fountain of Life] gold attribute.

[The Fountain of Life]

Upgrade Cost: 5000 Experience Points!

This amount of experience is nothing to Lin Yuan now.

But the improvement is immediate!

[Fountain of Life (lv2)]

[Effect: Your base maximum health is increased by 150 (from 100), and you automatically regenerate 2 maximum health per second (from 1)!]

The moment the entry was upgraded.

Lin Yuan felt the blood in his body surging like a river, his vitality reaching its peak!

Base health has skyrocketed from 36200 to 45250!

But this is not the final data.

With his equipment bonuses, his total health has now reached 60984!
