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

This guy has 12 points in his hand, yet he's still complaining about being poor?

Faced with the principal's roar.

Lin Yuan remained expressionless, even displaying a hint of self-righteousness: "No, what does shame matter when it comes to resources?"

"It's worthless, can I exchange it for skill points?"

""

Fang Zhentian was completely speechless.

In all his years of life, he had never seen such a shameless yet exceptionally gifted person!

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

"Since I promised, I won't go back on my word."

"I'll fill in the gaps for you, and I'll approve 8 skill points for you!"

"Adding what you have, it makes exactly 20 points!"

Then, Fang Zhentian said, "Alright, Lin Yuan, here are your skill points. I only have one request."

"Bring your team back to me safely from this training exercise!"

Lin Yuan put away his playful smile, stood up straight, and solemnly promised:

"rest assured!"

"As long as I'm alive, they won't die!"

"If I die, they probably won't survive either."

Fang Zhentian:

"Get lost!!"

I came out of the principal's office.

Lin Yuan looked at the skill points he had just acquired and was in a great mood.

"Little Black, Little Black, you earned me 8 skill points just by showing your face. I've become poor to support you, so you'd better work hard!"

The little black dragon on the shoulder rolled its eyes in protest.

He's still just a little baby.

Lin Yuan smiled and flicked its newly sprouted, majestic dragon horns.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Xiao Hei is only level 1 on its panel. Its actual combat strength cannot be measured by human levels alone.

Lin Yuan had heard his instructor explain this in detail during the "Monster Ecology" class at the War Academy.

In this world where everyone can change jobs, the leveling systems for humans and monsters are fundamentally different.

Humans are a race blessed by "datafication".

You can gain "experience points" by killing monsters.

The experience bar is full, the level increases, and the attributes skyrocket.

Simple, direct, and efficient.

This is also the fundamental reason why humanity is able to stand firm in this crisis-ridden world.

But monsters are different.

Although they also have levels, each advancement requires a long period of accumulation, through devouring the flesh and blood of higher-level beings, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, and even breaking through the genetic lock in life-and-death battles.

This makes it extremely difficult for monsters to level up.

but!

Heaven is fair.

As a trade-off, at the same level, monsters' base attributes are often several times, or even dozens of times, greater than those of humans!

Geniuses like Xia Chen and Ouyang Xue, who have awakened [Rare] professions, are among the best of the best, one in ten thousand among humans.

However, their attribute growth is at best comparable to that of some mid-to-high-level elite monsters.

Only humans who have awakened [Legendary] or even [Hidden Class] are qualified to challenge monster bosses of the same level and rank in a one-on-one battle!

And what about Little Black? It's a [Divine Beast Level]!

It is still the five-clawed true dragon standing at the top of the food chain!

Its current level 1 stats alone are enough to easily defeat many human professionals above level 10!

"That's racial talent."

Lin Yuan sighed, "Humans need to reach level 40 and undergo the second transformation before their life level can leap forward and their lifespan can increase."

"And you guys were born immortal."

"It's truly enviable, and makes me jealous."

Little Black seemed to understand Lin Yuan's praise and proudly raised its little head.

After returning to the dormitory.

Lin Yuan didn't rest. Instead, he immediately turned on his smart bracelet and pulled up the detailed files of this year's freshmen. He needed to form a freshman representative team.

The team consists of 7 starters and 3 substitutes.

As the captain handpicked by the principal, Lin Yuan possesses veto power and absolute voting rights.

His fingers slid rapidly across the light screen, his gaze sharp and intense.

Since they are representing the War Academy in battle, and going to such a dangerous abyss stronghold for training.

Therefore, there is only one criterion for selecting people: strength!

Regardless of personal relationships, as long as you have the strength to win in major competitions and survive in trials, you are a good player!

Soon, a list was created in Lin Yuan's hands.

[Core starting lineup (7 people):]

Main attacker (warrior): Chu Tianxing (Asura War God)

Ranged physical damage dealer: Ouyang Xue (Gunner)

Buff/Support: Liu Mengli (Word Spirit Singer)

Summon: Su Qing (Spirit Master/Beast Tamer)

[Substitutes (3 players):]

Melee Burst: Xia Chen (Berserker)

Ranged Spell Burst: Zhao Kuo (Thunder Mage)

Looking at the list, Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

This lineup includes almost all the legendary and top-tier rare classes in this year's War Academy.

It has everything: tankiness, damage output, control, healing, and burst damage.

3 PM.

War Academy, Special Grade Training Ground No. 1.

The nine trainees who received the notification arrived at the scene one after another.

When they saw Lin Yuan standing in the center of the field, everyone's expression turned serious, and they consciously lined up in formation.

No one was late, and no one raised any objections.

This is the deterrent power brought about by "absolute strength"!

Having experienced life and death together in the Bloodstained Wasteland, they also witnessed the miracle of the 50th floor of the Tower of War.

Lin Yuan's prestige among the new students has now reached its peak.

Even someone as proud and arrogant as Chu Tianxing stood obediently in the ranks at this moment, his eyes filled with fighting spirit and respect as he looked at Lin Yuan.

However, there were still two people in the group who seemed a bit awkward and surprised.

One was Zhao Kuo, and the other was Chen Xiaoman.

Zhao Kuo stood in the substitute team, feeling somewhat at a loss.

He was the biggest troublemaker among the freshmen, and he even boasted that he would teach Lin Yuan a lesson, but he was thoroughly humiliated.

If he had been a little more assertive during freshman military training, he probably would have dropped out by now.

Although he eventually accepted it, he still felt that, given Lin Yuan's strong personality, he would probably look down on him because of these things, and might even hold a grudge (even though Ye Cang comforted him).

I never expected Lin Yuan to select him for this team!

You know, this is a great opportunity for them!

If they can achieve good results in the joint competition among the three schools, they can receive a reward.

Moreover, the competition is being held at a university in Shanghai, where his family lives.

He never imagined that among the three competitions, Shanghai University had the lowest status, so why was the competition venue chosen there?

He didn't know anything about the training program yet.

Chen Xiaoman's feelings were even more complicated. She had thought that she and Lin Yuan would never have any further contact in this lifetime.

But when she saw her name on the team roster, she was completely stunned, even though it was just a substitute position.
