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

Currently reading: Chapter 233 Dark Mage, Titan's Wall! Triple Defense!, latest chapters available here.

This is because when Qin Tian first awakened, his level was too low and his mental strength was insufficient.

With his current strength, he simply cannot form a contract with those dragon species of higher rank that were forcibly catalyzed by the abyssal blood essence.

Therefore, the elders of the family settled for second best and gave him a platinum-level white dragon to practice with.

The bloodline of this white dragon has not been tainted by the essence of the abyssal dragons.

After all, beasts that have been imbued with this kind of essence and blood will be more violent in nature, and cannot be controlled by a newly awakened dragon tamer.

Even if Qin Tian awakened the only hidden profession.

In any case, there are quite a few slots that dragon tamers can contract, so it's perfectly reasonable to use the first one as practice.

"Ha, how ironic."

Lin Yuan looked at the aloof purple-robed steward in the distance, his heart surging with anger.

If it were some minor figure from the Qin family who got involved with this purple-robed steward for personal gain, he could barely understand it as a personal act.

but!

In the "Related People" section of the omniscient display.

A glaringly obvious name was written there—Qin Tian's father, the current head of the Qin family!

This isn't just personal corruption; this is utter treason!

The entire Qin family in the capital, from top to bottom, is probably already completely rotten!

The reason they were able to cultivate so many dragon beasts is because they were stained with the blood of innocent people!

At this moment, Lin Yuan's brain worked at lightning speed, instantly connecting all the clues together.

Why did the Abyss Order set up such a high-level array in advance for this exploration mission?

Without a doubt, it was a leak from a high-ranking member of the Qin family!

They betrayed these young geniuses!

However, there was a logical flaw that left Lin Yuan slightly confused.

If this ambush was planned by the Qin family, then why was Qin Tian, ​​the future heir of the Qin family, among the group that went out this time?

Isn't Qin Tian's father afraid that his own son will die in this massacre by the Abyss Cult?

Even tigers don't eat their cubs!

However, as Lin Yuan continued reading...

He finally understood the cunning and shrewdness of Qin Tian's father!

Lin Yuan couldn't help but want to applaud this ruthless head of the Qin family.

Once the military investigates, almost all the top students from the three prestigious universities will be wiped out.

No one could possibly suspect the Qin family in the capital!

Why?

Because Qin Tian, ​​the biological son of the current head of the Qin family, also participated in this trial and encountered a "life-or-death crisis"!

The Qin family could even use this opportunity to play the role of a victim.

As for whether Qin Tian will die or not?

of course not!

The omniscient and omnipotent prompt clearly told Lin Yuan that before Qin Tian set off for Shanghai.

His father had secretly given him a very high-level [Absolute Escape Scroll]!

This scroll is of an outrageously high level; even within their family, there are only a handful.

Even the spatial sealing array that Mingxiao has set up now is absolutely unable to block the forced boundary-breaking teleportation of that scroll!

Therefore, even though Qin Tiantang participated in this trial openly, and even though the Abyss Order really went on a killing spree.

Even at the very last moment, Qin Tian will absolutely not be in any danger!

He could have simply crushed the scroll and returned safely to the capital, at most suffering a minor injury.

However, the situation for the other members of the team is uncertain!

Apart from Qin Tian, ​​many of the people in their team also came from prestigious families.

But do those family elders have the ability to take out such a life-saving treasure and put it on a junior who has not yet grown up?

That's not necessarily true!

Looking at the entire team, they are the only ones who can pull out a life-saving trump card of the same level in such a desperate situation.

The most likely candidates are Chu Tianxing, who is backed by the military Chu family, Ji Qingyue, who has a deep background, and Ye Cang.

As for Guo Lin from the prestigious Shanghai University, or Chen Xiaoman from a commoner background, or Ouyang Xue, the daughter of the city lord...

In the eyes of the Qin family patriarch, they were all just consumables to be buried with this "accident"!

"What a clever trick the Qin family of the capital has up their sleeve, using someone else to do their dirty work."

Lin Yuan slowly tightened his grip on the shield, and a monstrous killing intent surged within his calm eyes.

If it weren't for Lin Yuan leading the team today...

So these freshmen from the Magic City and the War Academy are destined to die here, becoming food for the abyssal monsters.

Unfortunately, despite all their careful planning, the Qin family overlooked one major variable!

That's him, Lin Yuan!

Soon, before the surrounding black mist completely closed in.

The team members scattered nearby all rushed towards Lin Yuan's direction as quickly as possible, their expressions panicked.

Su Yurou, standing behind Lin Yuan, said with a grave expression, "Lin Yuan, the situation is getting a bit troublesome... The aura of this purple-robed man is terrifying!"

"His level is probably definitely above level 50!"

They had discussed it on the way, just before entering this sea fog.

As long as you don't encounter a mage with extremely high strength who specializes in burst magic.

With the 30% defense sharing that Lin Yuan gave them, they can be absolutely safe and sound in this secret realm.

But now it seems that Murphy's Law has come true.

The opponent was not only a powerful expert at level 55.

Moreover, judging from the purple-robed deacon's attire and aura, he was precisely a dark mage who was the most effective counter to physical shield warriors!

However, despite the horrified looks on some of his teammates' faces, Lin Yuan remained calm and composed.

He didn't speak, but silently activated his skill.

The Wall of Titan!

This skill can increase Lin Yuan's own defense by 200% for 2 minutes!

A blinding dark golden light burst forth from Lin Yuan's body, instantly sweeping across the entire area.

At that very moment, all the team members within the aura's radius gasped in unison.

They were horrified to discover that their already absurdly high shared defense stats on their panel...

Both physical defense and magic resistance instantly surged to three times their original value!

Especially magic resistance, which was originally considered relatively "weak" by many.

At this moment, the series of wildly fluctuating numbers on everyone's attribute panel have clearly broken through the 30,000-point mark!

"What's the panic?"

Lin Yuan glanced at everyone indifferently. "You don't actually think that as a tanky shield warrior, I don't even have a single skill that actively increases my defense, do you?"

"That's really underestimating me."

Lin Yuan explained methodically, "This skill can last for about two minutes."

"In these two minutes, as long as you mages and supports with relatively low health, don't be foolish enough to take the enemy's true damage skills."

"Under normal circumstances, the opponent won't be able to break through your defenses, so just focus on dealing damage."
