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

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Yuan remained calm, swiped his bracelet to confirm his identity, and then walked into the tower.

Welcome to the Tower of War!

[Current Floor: Floor 1!]

Lin Yuan's vision blurred, and he found himself in a vast arena.

Ten skeleton soldiers (lv21) wielding rusted iron swords spawned and charged toward him.

He had learned about the monsters that appeared inside the Tower of War when he arrived.

They are not real monsters, but simulations created by the school based on data from real monsters, designed to cultivate students' combat skills.

This way, they will be more confident when they go into dungeons, and their chances of survival will be higher.

Don't be fooled by the fact that those who get into the war academy are geniuses from all over the country. If geniuses don't work hard to train and accumulate practical experience, their chances of dying on the battlefield are no different from those of ordinary people.

If you underestimate your enemy, you're doomed!

Since these monsters are simulated from data, there is naturally no experience to gain from killing them.

Then he wouldn't need to waste any more time standing still and letting them attack, using the counter-damage to kill them, he could just attack directly!

A swift and decisive victory!

Lin Yuan stomped his right foot on the ground, and a terrifying fan-shaped shockwave swept across the entire area in an instant!

This is an application of shockwaves. After he reached level 30, he added some techniques taught by Chen Qingxuan.

Shockwaves can be cast through the body without the need for a shield.

Of course, in terms of power, it is definitely slightly inferior to using a shield.

After all, he has only just learned it and is not yet very proficient.

boom!

Before the ten skeleton soldiers could even reach Lin Yuan, they were blasted into countless points of light!

[Congratulations on completing the level! Time taken: 3 seconds!]

[Teleport to the next floor]

Floor 2!

boom!

Level cleared! Time taken: 3 seconds!

Level 3! Boom! Level cleared!

Outside the tower.

On the huge electronic leaderboard.

The floor number following the name "Lin Yuan" started jumping wildly!

1st floor, 5th floor, 8th floor, 10th floor!

It jumps one floor in almost every few seconds!

This terrifying speed left both freshmen and upperclassmen who were watching completely dumbfounded.

"Holy crap?!"

"Is this supposed to be a tower rush? They've only been in there for a few seconds, maybe even used one skill at most, and then the monsters are wiped out?"

"Is there a bug in the system? How could it be so fast?!"

Among the crowd, Ye Cang and Ji Qingyue, who had also come here to cultivate, had complicated expressions on their faces.

Ye Cang looked at the constantly flashing name and shook his head helplessly: "That guy Lin Yuan must have activated a shockwave and pushed his way up."

"To deal with such low-level monsters, that wide-area AOE is practically cheating, and its shockwave deals off-the-charts damage!"

Ji Qingyue, standing to the side, gripped her spirit sword, her expression a mixture of resentment and admiration: "Is this the crushing power of absolute strength? However, we can't fall too far behind."

"At least we're both legendary-level players!"

"Lin Yuan is a monster, and we can't be useless either. We need to level up quickly. Once we reach level 40, we'll do our second job advancement. That will be one of our few chances to catch up with Lin Yuan."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Qingyue also entered the tower.

Her record is 18 floors.

Today, she's going to break through her own limits!

Inside the tower, Lin Yuan broke through the 20th floor in less than half an hour, surpassing Chu Tianxing's record.

But he didn't stop, and his speed didn't decrease at all. Soon, he arrived at the 30th floor.

In the Tower of War's mechanics, every 10 floors is a major challenge, guarded by a powerful boss.

As Lin Yuanluo appeared on the 30th floor, a deafening roar resounded throughout the entire space.

"roar!!!"

The earth trembled, and a red-skinned orc, over six meters tall and wielding a giant iron mace, suddenly stepped out.

Its body was bulging with muscles, its eyes were bloodshot, and it exuded a terrifying aura of savagery.

【Name: Berserker Orc Chieftain (Gold-tier boss)】

[Level: lv35]

【HP: 850000】

【Strength: 3200】

[Agility: 800]

[Physical Fitness: 2500]

[Core Skills:]

【Bloodthirsty Slash (Active): Unleashes a powerful strike in front, dealing 200 physical damage and restoring health equal to 20% of the damage dealt.】

【War Stomp (Active): Stomp the ground violently, causing a dizzying effect on those around you.】

[Berserk Stance (Passive): When health is below 30, attack power increases by 50, defense power decreases by 50.]

Lin Yuan looked at the enormous creature, but didn't seem to care much.

Even legendary-level classes, at the same level, would have to carefully kite the boss and grind for a long time before they could defeat it in a solo fight.

If you're not careful, you could get caught in its War Stomp and follow up with a combo, which could easily lead to your defeat.

However, Lin Yuan, whom he encountered, had no intention of wasting time with him.

"Lie down!"

Lin Yuan completely disregarded tactics and positioning, and simply picked up his shield.

Shockwave!

Boom!!

Theoretical damage as high as 840,000!

The boss had just raised his spiked club and hadn't even had a chance to roar a second time when he was left with only a sliver of health.

The enormous body was blasted away and slammed heavily against the wall, gasping for air but unable to breathe.

"Still not dead?"

"Let's do it again!"

Lin Yuan barely paused before unleashing a second shockwave!

[Kill successful!]

Cleared floor 30! Time: 15 seconds!

Two shots, and it's deadly!

Simple, brutal, and unreasonable!

I don't know how much time passed.

On the leaderboard outside the tower, Lin Yuan's name had soared to a position that made all the senior students feel breathless.

Floor 40!

This floor is a huge watershed, and it can even be said to be a nightmare for countless third-year students.

Because the boss guarding this floor is a true subspecies of dragon!

As soon as Lin Yuan entered the 40th floor, a scorching wave of heat rushed towards him.

In the center of a scene of flowing lava, a humanoid creature covered in crimson scales and with wings on its back was perched.

It stands eight meters tall, wielding a spear formed from condensed flames, its long tail slapping across the lava, sending countless sparks flying.

【Ancient Dragonkin (Pseudo-Platinum Rank Boss)】

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"That's interesting."

This dragon-man is far stronger than the one he encountered in the college entrance exam secret realm!

Not only was it larger in size, but its dragon aura was also purer, indicating that its bloodline concentration was extremely high.

Many elite third-year students get stuck at this hurdle and are unable to make any progress.

Even for Lei Xiao now, defeating this dragon-man would not be an easy task.
