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

If it weren't for the fact that he could awaken an incredible golden attribute every five levels, the strength of his class would never be this outrageous.

Of course, even without these system-granted golden keywords.

With the defensive points and counter-damage talent of the [Undying Barrier] alone, he could easily sweep through opponents and even fight against opponents several ranks higher.

However, without the relevant attributes, he would need to spend much longer accumulating equipment and attributes to compensate for his weaknesses.

With the addition of the gold-level keywords, his advantages are amplified to an unlimited extent, while all his disadvantages are completely eliminated!

It's worth mentioning here.

After Lin Yuan successfully broke through the level 30 mark, he also obtained a brand new gold attribute and an extremely powerful innate skill!

His new golden attribute, which he awakened at level 30, is called "Invulnerable to All Laws"!

This entry has an extremely powerful effect; it can make Lin Yuan immune to all negative status effects!

Whether it's poison, curse, slowing, magic-silencing, or even high-level armor-piercing effects, none of them work on him!

This made him an impenetrable fortress.

This is an extremely powerful offensive, control, and movement skill!

The effect is: After Lin Yuan locks onto an area, he will leap high into the air and then crash down to the ground like a meteorite!

Deals devastating physical damage equal to 10 of the user's maximum health plus 200 of their physical defense to all enemies within the landing area!

Furthermore, if you get hit, you'll be inflicted with a 3-second "absolute stun" effect!

It can be said that the single burst damage of this skill at the same level is slightly higher than that of the [Shockwave] which is purely defensively converted!

And what's most deadly is that it comes with an extremely powerful locking and displacement mechanism!

Unless the opponent possesses a very advanced teleportation skill, allowing them to instantly escape Lin Yuan's locked space.

Otherwise, this move is almost guaranteed to hit!

Because Lin Yuan possesses the [King's Domain] attribute, the range of his skills is naturally increased tenfold!

Those he targets almost never escape this sudden attack!

That afternoon, the sun was obscured by thick clouds.

The elites from the three schools who were willing to participate in this training changed into ordinary casual clothes and headed to the Mysterious Misty Realm of the East China Sea.

In order not to alert the enemy, they disguised themselves as ordinary college students during their training trip.

Even the school badge, which represents the honor of a top university, was removed.

As a native of Shanghai, Guo Lin was quite familiar with the terrain of this secret place.

As soon as he arrived at the outer edge of the secret realm, he gave everyone another introduction.

"Everyone, look ahead."

Guo Lin pointed to the faint gray-white mist in the distance and said, "Actually, for the strength of our team, the danger of entering this secret realm is not as exaggerated as the three mentors said."

"Because the most deadly sea fog in this secret realm is not constant; it drifts with the wind."

"As long as we are careful enough, constantly observe the wind direction, and avoid venturing into areas with dense sea fog."

"Then our risk of being ambushed by high-level monsters will be greatly reduced."

Just as Guo Lin was speaking eloquently, trying to ease everyone's tension.

Ye Cang, however, held his sword and retorted without hesitation, "Guo Lin, have you forgotten something extremely important?"

"Our main purpose for this training trip is not to go on a picnic or escape danger, but to find members of the Abyss Cult who may be hiding in the secret realm."

Ye Cang stared sharply at the gray fog and sneered, "And that's where those shady rats are most likely to hide."

"Aren't these precisely the dangerous areas where perception is blocked and dense sea fog exists?"

Guo Lin was stunned when he heard Ye Cang's rebuttal.

He then gave an awkward, wry smile and nodded helplessly, saying, "You're right, I didn't think it through."

Looking at the bustling crowd at the entrance to the secret realm, Guo Lin sighed and added:

"And look, there are many independent cultivators, mercenary guild members, and even students from other ordinary academies coming and going in this secret realm."

"The Abyss Order members aren't stupid; they wouldn't go around wearing specific cult attire and flaunting themselves."

"They are most likely disguised as ordinary hunters, blending in with this group of all sorts of people."

"With such a huge population base, finding them is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

This is precisely why the Shanghai military had repeatedly sent people to clean up the area, but always ended up failing.

The military has only discovered traces of the Abyss Cult's activities, but has been unable to capture any survivors.

The reason is that once the Abyss Order's sentries detect the approaching energy fluctuations of a high-level expert...

They would immediately blend into the ordinary group of trainees.

Under the cover of sea fog that blocked signals, it was virtually impossible for the military to identify who belonged to the Abyss Cult.

After listening to Guo Lin's analysis, everyone felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light; this mission is indeed tricky.

However, after entering this hidden wilderness area, Lin Yuan, as the team leader, remained silent.

He has quietly unlocked the golden rule of being omniscient and omnipotent.

Lin Yuan's gaze, like the most sophisticated radar, began to quickly scan and examine the crowd coming and going around him.

If there really are spies from the Abyss Order mixed in with this group.

No matter how skillful the other party's disguise is, with his omniscient and omnipotent analytical abilities, he will definitely be able to see through the other party's true nature at a glance.

However, in this safe zone on the edge of the secret realm, Lin Yuan checked the panel information of hundreds of people.

The feedback came back to find that they were all ordinary professionals, and no suspicious characteristics of the Abyss Order were found.

"It seems there are no valuable clues left on the outside."

Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze, secretly calculating in his mind: if he wanted to find those rats, he would have to go deep into the heart of the fog and conduct an in-depth investigation.

As the team ventured deeper into the secret realm, the surrounding grayish-white sea fog began to thicken.

Visibility dropped rapidly, and the air was filled with a faint smell of the sea and decay.

Upon entering the truly strange area, they naturally encountered wild monsters lurking within this secret realm.

"Hiss—"

It was accompanied by a chilling hissing sound.

Suddenly, seven or eight slender, dark gray figures sprang out of the mud ahead, blocking their path.
