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

The car smoothly drove into the hotel, and inside the spacious and luxurious private room, all kinds of delicacies were served on the table like a flowing stream.

Ouyang Lingyun looked at Lin Yuan: "Lin Yuan, come on, let me toast you!"

Ouyang Lingyun looked grateful and said with a smile, "I also want to thank you for taking such good care of Xiaoxue at the War Academy this semester."

"Otherwise, as her father, I know perfectly well that with her aptitude and cultivation speed, it would be impossible for her to cultivate so quickly."

Xia Hai, standing to the side, shared the same sentiment. He stood up, holding his wine glass, and echoed with equal gratitude, "Yes, Lin Yuan, I know my brat best. If it weren't for you, the captain, leading him all the way..."

"How could he have achieved what he has today? He would probably have suffered a great loss in some secret realm long ago! Uncle Xia, drink this cup too!"

Faced with repeated toasts and sincere thanks from the two elders.

Lin Yuan did not act arrogantly, but stood up very humbly and clinked his teacup with Lin Yuan's.

He smiled and said in a calm tone, "You two uncles are too kind. We're all in the same team, it's only natural to look after each other, there's no need to be so formal."

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the atmosphere in the private room became increasingly harmonious.

The adults began to inquire in detail about the children's daily training at the academy.

When Ouyang Lingyun and Xia Hai inadvertently learned Lin Yuan's true level from their daughter and son...

"Clatter!"

Xia Hai dropped a piece of premium Wagyu beef, which he was holding, directly onto the plate.

Ouyang Lingyun's eyes widened even more, and he almost choked on the mouthful of wine he had just drunk.

The two knowledgeable elders stared at Lin Yuan in utter astonishment.

"What...what did you say?!"

Xia Hai's voice trembled with shock: "Lin Yuan... he's already reached level forty?!"

Ouyang Xue nodded proudly, "That's right, after the New Year, once we return to the War Academy, he'll be undertaking his second job advancement quest!"

Hearing this definite answer.

The two elders exchanged a glance, both seeing the overwhelming shock deep in each other's eyes!

It's only been a few months!

A freshman who hasn't even finished his first semester of college has already stepped into the crucial second-year transfer class of 2000!

You should know that many ordinary people never even reach level 40 in their entire lives. Even for geniuses from top universities, level 40 is a level that they can only reach in their junior or senior year!

Lin Yuan's leveling speed is simply unprecedented and will never be surpassed!

Ouyang Lingyun took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.

The way he looked at Lin Yuan was no longer that of someone looking at a junior.

"Excellent! Excellent! It's truly a blessing for Yunhai City to produce such a true dragon as you!"

……

The next morning, the sun shone brightly.

As agreed, Lin Yuan went to his alma mater, Yunhai No.1 Middle School.

According to normal national holidays, senior high school students should be on winter break and going home for the Chinese New Year.

However, yesterday, when the former principal, Lu Yun, learned that Lin Yuan had agreed to come and give a short lecture to the students...

Lu Yun was so excited that he couldn't sleep well all night.

He immediately instructed the senior high school homeroom teachers to post a notice in their class groups overnight.

This indicates that Lin Yuan, last year's top scorer in the national college entrance examination, is preparing to return to his school to share some practical experience with his younger schoolmates!

The school stated that students who wish to attend the lecture can voluntarily return to school today.

Lu Yun thought that it would be good if half of the students came back during the long holiday, but he completely underestimated Lin Yuan's influence at Yunhai No.1 Middle School!

Lin Yuan was last year's top scorer in the national college entrance examination, and he is also the first person in the history of China to awaken the only hidden defensive profession!

He enjoys a very high reputation at his alma mater.

At the very center of the No. 1 High School's honor roll, Lin Yuan's enlarged handsome photo still hangs at the top.

So when this news came out, the entire senior class was in an uproar!

Most students would never miss such a great opportunity to get up close and personal with senior Lin Yuan.

Nine o'clock in the morning, in the largest indoor tiered auditorium in the school.

This spacious indoor venue, originally designed to accommodate 500 people, was now packed to capacity.

Not only were all the seats below filled, but the aisles and the open space at the back were also densely packed with students who had rushed over.

Even some junior high school students were peeking through the windows outside the auditorium.

Lin Yuan sat on the front platform, looking at the pairs of fervent and worshipful eyes below, and was somewhat surprised.

He never imagined that he would be so popular at his alma mater.

Generally speaking, many students are not very interested in these so-called "gratitude lectures" organized by the school.

Generally speaking, many students are not very interested in these so-called "gratitude lectures" organized by the school.

After all, attending some expert lectures is just a waste of time because they are full of empty talk and have no practical use for their skills development.

But today's lecture is different; it's being given by Lin Yuan himself!

At this moment, from the dark mass of people below, bursts of suppressed, excited whispers could be heard.

A bespectacled boy exclaimed with gleaming eyes, "Holy crap, that's Senior Lin Yuan? He looks so approachable, nothing like the freakish tank who can single-handedly take on the national tournament!"

A pretty girl with a ponytail standing next to him clasped her hands to her heart and exclaimed, "Senior Lin is so handsome! His charisma is amazing! I wonder if he has a girlfriend at the War Academy?"

A tall boy in the front row turned around and interrupted him impatiently, "Stop swooning! Can't you see the aura surrounding the senior? I just want to know how he leveled up so fast; I want to take notes!"

Another girl chimed in with admiration, "I heard that the senior's defense is ridiculously high. Back in the college entrance exam secret realm, it was because of him that we were able to protect the other students from the abyss attack."

Standing by the aisle, a veteran teacher solemnly instructed the students beside him: "Lin Yuan is the greatest pride of our school, a once-in-a-century talent. You all need to listen carefully; his words are a million times more valuable than any textbook!"

Faced with such a frenzied occasion, Lin Yuan seemed quite at ease. He stood up, picked up the microphone, and first gave a very casual and simple self-introduction.

His deep, magnetic voice instantly silenced the noisy auditorium.

After that, Lin Yuan didn't talk about any empty platitudes, but went straight to the point.

He began to share some valuable practical experience based on his own experiences in the Crimson Wasteland and the Eastern Sea Secret Realm.
