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

Your one-stop haven for novel reading.

"Faced with such a reckless and frenzied attack from so many high-level magical beasts."

Zhang Xiao swallowed hard, put himself in the other person's shoes, and said with a wry smile, "Let alone a level 40 freshman, even if I were over there surrounded by so many monsters, breaking out would definitely not be an easy task!"

A young female disciple next to him was also staring at Lin Yuan on the screen with sparkling eyes.

She couldn't help but turn to Chen Qingxuan, her eyes brimming with hope, and said, "Teacher, this kid's potential is simply phenomenal! His future is absolutely limitless!"

"You are the foremost purple-robed Celestial Master in our nation. Haven't you ever considered making an exception and accepting him as your last disciple?"

Upon hearing the female disciple's words, the other adjutants nodded in agreement, agreeing that it was an excellent suggestion.

Given Chen Qingxuan's status and position, if he could accept Lin Yuan as his disciple, it would undoubtedly be a legendary tale that would be passed down through the ages.

However, to everyone's surprise...

Upon hearing this suggestion, Chen Qingxuan glanced at his female disciple and decisively shook his head.

"Take him as a disciple? Heh, you overestimate your master. I am not qualified to be Lin Yuan's teacher."

Upon hearing this, all the disciples and adjutants around were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

Looking at the figure wreaking havoc on the screen, Chen Qingxuan said softly, "My Taoist techniques and lightning arts are not suitable for a purely defensive class like him. The substantive things I can teach him are actually very limited."

"The most I can do is use my connections and resources to protect him a little before he fully matures."

"Moreover, given his current abnormally high rate of growth, which defies common sense."

"In just a few years, this kid's absolute strength will probably come very close to mine, or even... completely surpass mine!"

"hiss--"

Upon hearing these words, the surrounding disciples and subordinates gasped simultaneously, their pupils shrinking sharply!

They never expected that Chen Qingxuan, who was usually so dignified, would have such an absurdly high opinion of Lin Yuan!

In the next few years, Lin Yuan will be able to catch up with their teacher's strength, or even surpass it?!

"Teacher, isn't this evaluation... a bit too harsh?"

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but retort, his tone full of disbelief.

They certainly didn't deny that Lin Yuan was displaying tremendous strength and was a rare genius.

However, they simply couldn't believe that Lin Yuan would catch up with their revered teacher in just a few years!

You should know that their teacher, Chen Qingxuan, is recognized as one of the most talented in China!

The profession of "Celestial Master" is different from other legendary professions. It is a nationally inherited profession with a long history!

Moreover, Chen Qingxuan single-handedly advanced the Celestial Master profession into the only hidden profession, the Purple Robe Celestial Master!

What an amazing talent!

How could Lin Yuan surpass the Purple Robe Celestial Master in just a few years?

This is simply a fantasy!

Faced with the confusion and doubt on the faces of his disciples and subordinates, Chen Qingxuan did not explain anything in detail, but simply smiled faintly.

Only he himself knew best that when he said "surpassed," he was not referring to a simple level, but to Lin Yuan's strength!

Don't be fooled by the fact that Lin Yuan is only level 40 on the surface and hasn't even completed the second job advancement quest yet.

However, Chen Qingxuan had personally seen Lin Yuan's battle report in the East Sea Secret Realm.

This kid faces a level 60 or 70 Purple Nether Demon Dragon without any pressure whatsoever!

In Chen Qingxuan's estimation, only the Abyss Royal Demons with the purest and most elite bloodlines in the deepest part of the Abyss could exert any real pressure on Lin Yuan in his current state by relying on the power of the rules.

Once Lin Yuan successfully passes the Abyss-level assessment and completes his second transformation, his basic attributes will experience a terrifying boost, and his strength will undergo a dramatic qualitative change!

Chen Qingxuan looked at the light screen, his heart filled with anticipation and curiosity.

"I really want to see what kind of overpowered exclusive skill this kid will acquire, or what terrifying second talent he'll awaken, once he successfully completes the second job advancement, under this ridiculously difficult abyss trial?"

……

Meanwhile, the high-ranking military officials on the human side were marveling at and anticipating Lin Yuan's strength.

Deeper into the heart of the Burial Wasteland lies a forbidden area perpetually shrouded in purple poisonous mist and raging dragon energy.

This is the territory of the Purple Nether Dragon Clan, one of the overlords of this wasteland!

Inside a magnificent palace entirely constructed from massive skeletons, the high-ranking members of the Purple Nether Dragon Clan sat atop enormous stone pillars, radiating a terrifying and suffocating aura.

Not long ago, the beast tide riot that swept through the center of the wasteland naturally attracted the attention of these high-level demonic dragons.

The clan immediately dispatched a team of half-dragons skilled in stealth to the center of the beast tide to conduct reconnaissance.

Soon, the team of half-dragon assassins returned in terror, bringing with them a strange message.

In the center of the main hall, a half-dragon scout knelt on one knee, his voice trembling as he reported, "Chief, I have ascertained the situation!"

"The source of the beast tide riot was... was actually a human!"

"That human is currently standing arrogantly in the very center of the beast tide, enduring the relentless and frenzied attacks of tens of thousands of abyssal demons!"

Upon hearing the scouts' report, the dragon elders in the main hall all let out disdainful snorts.

"Hmph! A mere human ant dares to run wild in the heart of our Burial Grounds? He's courting death!"

"Besieged by tens of thousands of demons, he's probably torn to shreds by now, not even a bone fragment left."

However, the half-dragon scout shook his head violently, his eyes filled with a ghostly fear.

"No! No, Elder!"

The scout swallowed hard, then cried out in horror, "The strangest thing is this: that human who withstood tens of thousands of attacks not only didn't die, but... he seemed completely unfazed!"

"I could see it clearly from a distance!"

The scout's voice echoed through the empty hall: "The claws and venom of those low-level demons are like tickling him!"

"That monstrous human seems completely unharmed!"

boom!

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Elders, who had previously been full of disdain, were immediately thrown into uproar!

Even the patriarch of the Purple Nether Dragon Clan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his enormous dragon eyes!
