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

This means that the seemingly frail and thin old man in front of us is actually at a terrifying level of 94 or higher!

It's important to understand that in this world, the experience points gained from killing monsters that are far weaker than yourself are negligible.

This means that the further you go, the more difficult it becomes to gain experience.

While there may be other ways to gain experience, it is undeniable that level 90 and above is already a formidable level.

How could Lin Yuan not be surprised?

Who would have thought that at the entrance of the War God's Treasury of this War Academy, there would be such a living fossil of national significance squatting there!

Just as Lin Yuan used his omniscience and omnipotence to spy, Old Sun, who had been smiling, gave a barely perceptible "hmm".

A sharp glint flashed in the depths of his cloudy eyes as he glanced at Lin Yuan, seemingly unintentionally.

"What an interesting little guy..."

Old Sun wondered to himself, "What strange talent has this kid awakened?"

"It can actually generate a law fluctuation that even I almost couldn't see through? It seems this little guy has quite a secret."

However, when you reach the level of Master Sun...

He had no intention of forcibly prying into the secrets of his juniors; the more secrets a genius had that were beneficial to humanity, the better.

Old Sun withdrew his gaze, continued to wave his hand with a smile, and said, "Oh dear, how could I be considered a senior expert?"

Old Sun stroked his beard, looking utterly indifferent to the world: "Me? I'm just a decrepit old man who should have retired long ago."

"With nothing to do all day and no longer able to fight, I can only shamelessly beg for food here at the academy and retire by guarding the gate."

As he spoke, Old Sun took out a special token that was neither gold nor jade, which he had prepared, and handed it to Fang Zhentian.

This treasure trove of war gods is not only guarded by the great god Elder Sun.

The entire treasure vault is also embedded with an extremely large killing array!

Without these specific access tokens, even a level 80 powerhouse would be instantly blasted into ashes by the formation if they tried to force their way in.

Lin Yuan accepted the token and listened to Elder Sun's humble words.

He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, muttering to himself, "I don't believe you for a second! You're a wicked old man!"

"A gatekeeper above level 93? If you went to the Abyss Battlefield, you could probably treat some Abyss clan leaders like dogs!"

Chu Tianxing and the others were not stupid either. Anyone who could command such respect from a ruthless expert like Fang Zhentian and treat him with the courtesy due to a junior must possess some unfathomable extraordinary abilities.

After receiving the tokens, everyone behaved very obediently.

Fang Zhentian turned around and sternly instructed the group, "Once inside, don't wander around or touch anything! Each person can only take what's within their authorized scope!"

"I'll give you half an hour to choose from these."

"I'll be waiting for you outside. What you choose is up to your own judgment and fate! Go!"

The crowd nodded excitedly, gripped their tokens, and filed into the gates of the War God's Treasury.

Watching the gate slowly close.

Fang Zhentian finally relaxed his tense nerves, walked to the stone steps, and casually sat down next to Old Sun.

"Mr. Sun, you are very knowledgeable."

Fang Zhentian chuckled and began to chat, "Do you think these little brats can find anything good in this half-hour time limit?"

Old Sun chuckled and said slowly, "The items in the treasure vault are all about fate. Whether they are divine weapons or scrap metal..."

That depends on their own judgment.

Old Sun changed the subject, his gaze turning deep as he looked at the treasure vault door: "However... I am quite interested in that little fellow named Lin Yuan."

"It has been many years since I have seen such an interesting young man."

Upon hearing this, a hint of pride flashed in Fang Zhentian's eyes: "Is Elder Sun referring to this kid's monstrous strength in single-handedly killing a level 65 demonic dragon? Or is it his composure in the face of the Abyss Cult?"

To everyone's surprise, Old Sun gently shook his head.

"Neither."

Old Master Sun smiled and said, "His strength and temperament are indeed outstanding, but among the geniuses of all time, there are many such ruthless characters."

"What I value in him is an extremely rare, unwavering determination that seems to indicate he has everything under control!"

"besides……"

Old Sun paused, smiled, but didn't say anything more.

He couldn't really put his finger on what kind of word it was, but it was just an intuition, the intuition of a top expert towards his own kind.

The look Lin Yuan gave him just now didn't show the same awe and fear as the other freshmen; instead, it carried a sense of relaxation.

……

At the same time, Lin Yuan and the others, who had entered the treasure vault, were instantly stunned by the scene before them.

Although the lighting inside the vault wasn't very bright, the equipment and materials on the surrounding shelves took them by surprise.

"Holy crap! This...this place is full of equipment of Platinum grade or higher?!"

Zhao Meng was so excited that he trembled all over. Although they came from a prestigious family, they were not the only ones in that family.

You have to demonstrate your value before you're qualified to obtain resources from the family, and this always requires a return.

Even if you are the eldest son, it doesn't matter.

Lin Yuan did not immediately go to the second floor, but instead leisurely strolled around the spacious hall on the first floor.

He possesses the gold entry for "omniscient and omnipotent".

Therefore, he didn't need to do what others did, holding the equipment close to sense the magical fluctuations or guess the forging material.

With just a glance, the quality, hidden attributes, and even forging defects of these materials or equipment are all laid bare before his eyes!

【Wind God's Breath Leather Boots (Platinum Grade)】

[Attributes: Agility +800, Evasion Rate increased by 15%]

[Special effect: After activation, allows for a second jump in mid-air using momentum.]

-

【Deep Sea Whale Heavy Armor (Pseudo-Diamond Grade)】

[Attributes: Armor +4500, Water Magic Immunity 10%]

[Additional effect: When attacked, there is a chance to trigger a water shield to reflect damage.]

[Disadvantages: Excessive forging temperature causes the material to become brittle. While it offers extremely high defense, its durability drops by double when subjected to true damage.]

Looking at these top-tier pieces of equipment in front of me...

As Lin Yuan strolled around selecting items, he was also rapidly calculating in his mind.

What type of resources does he need most right now to further strengthen himself?

Perhaps it's time for him to completely upgrade the quality of his equipment.

The equipment he's currently wearing is only a [pseudo-gold level] set.

Despite being damaged and repaired countless times, its durability is maxed out, almost reaching gold quality.

However, among his teammates, the quality of his equipment is definitely the lowest.

People like Chu Tianxing and Ji Qingyue all have the most exquisite sets of gold-grade equipment.
