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

Following that, Fang Zhentian gave a detailed explanation of the dungeon in the Northwest Abyss Battlefield.

"The Abyss dungeon is fundamentally different from the dungeons we encounter inside the academy."

"The academy's instance is restricted by artificial arrays, so monsters will not leave the fixed area."

"But in the Abyss Battlefield, the dungeons there are all outdoor dungeons formed naturally by spatial rifts."

"The entrances to these wilderness dungeons are not fixed and can appear or disappear at any time in the wilderness."

"What's even more fatal is that some outdoor dungeons don't have clear level restrictions or limits on the number of players allowed in."

"Sometimes you think it's a normal level 40 dungeon, but when you go in, you might encounter a hidden level 60 boss."

"Some large abyss dungeons are even small worlds on their own, with unique weather systems and environmental disasters."

"For example, lava will erupt at any time in the volcano dungeon, and there will be blizzards that freeze magic in the ice and snow dungeon."

"Furthermore, other teams are allowed to enter the Abyss dungeon midway."

"This has led to frequent battles and skirmishes between teams of job changers vying for high-level resources."

After introducing the dungeon, Fang Zhentian focused on explaining the racial classifications and regional divisions of the abyssal monsters there.

"The distribution of monsters in the entire Northwest Abyss Battlefield can be roughly divided into three major areas: the outer perimeter, the mixed zone, and the core."

"The Bone Wasteland where you did your second job advancement quest is just a small area of ​​the mixed zone."

"The outer areas are mainly occupied by undead and low-intelligence abyssal beasts."

"For example, skeleton warriors, rotting corpses, and two-headed wolves, most of these monsters are no higher than level 40."

"They lack organization and only rely on their bloodthirsty instincts to attack humans."

"Going deeper, we enter a mixed zone with complex terrain, including canyons, swamps, and poisonous forests."

"The mixed zone is inhabited by abyssal orcs, shadow elves and various mutated demonic insects. Most of the monsters here are between level 40 and level 70, and the orcs have a complete tribal structure."

"Shadow elves excel at using magic and ranged assassination; they employ tactics and traps to deal with job changers."

Fang Zhentian paused slightly, then emphasized his words and began to recount the deepest part of the situation.

"In the most dangerous core area, the environment is filled with a high concentration of abyssal demonic energy, and ordinary professionals will be harmed if they enter."

"The core area is occupied by the royal bloodlines of the Abyss, such as pure-blooded Abyss demons, fallen dragons, and high-ranking shadow creatures."

"These core monsters are all at level 70 or above, and there are even Abyss Overlords and Abyss Demon Lords at level 80 or 90."

"They not only have extremely high basic attributes, but also possess extremely high intelligence and special skills that can break the rules of convention."

"Besides pure-blooded demons, there is also an abyss altar in the core area."

"High-level monsters can temporarily obtain the blessing of the abyss's essence through altar sacrifices, which will instantly and greatly increase their combat power."

Fang Zhentian finished recounting all the detailed information in one breath, and then handed the stamped pass to Lin Yuan, saying, "The reason I told you about the forces and monster races in each region in such detail is..."

"It's because I know your personality very well. You definitely can't stay confined to grinding monsters in the outer area of ​​the abyss forever."

"With your current abilities, once you feel that the monsters on the periphery cannot effectively harm you..."

"You will most likely be going directly into the Abyss Battlefield at that time."

Fang Zhentian's expression was solemn. "The core area of ​​the Northwest Abyss Battlefield is definitely not a place you can just wander into."

"The monsters there possess powerful special mechanics, and some even have skills or talents that can ignore a portion of defensive effects."

"I must explain the pros and cons to you in advance so that you can have an accurate assessment of the level of danger there."

"Your talent is not invincible in the core area of ​​the Abyss Battlefield."

"Once you reach the Abyss Battlefield, all actions must prioritize your own safety."

……

Lin Yuan put the pass stamped with the military seal into his storage space.

He then stood up, thanked the principal, and turned to leave the principal's office.

Walking down the corridor of the university, Lin Yuan mentally planned his upcoming itinerary.

Now that the pass has been obtained, the trip to the Northwest Abyss Battlefield is officially settled.

However, before setting off, he still needed to resolve the equipment issue.

After making up his mind, Lin Yuan did not return to his apartment, but went to Gu Zhi's place. Before he even entered Gu Zhi's forging workshop, a scorching wave of fire rushed towards him.

The workshop echoed with the dull thud of hammering metal, accompanied by the roar of the high-temperature furnace.

Lin Yuan walked in and saw Gu Zhizheng shirtless, holding a heavy forging hammer in both hands.

He was intently hammering a piece of unknown metal that was glowing red-hot, sparks flying everywhere.

He was intently hammering a piece of unknown metal that was glowing red-hot, sparks flying everywhere.

Seeing Lin Yuan walk in, Gu Zhi stopped what he was doing, put down his forging hammer, and wiped the sweat from his brow.

"Lin Yuan, what brings you here today?" Gu Zhi asked.

Without wasting any words, Lin Yuan walked straight forward to a large, empty table.

With a thought, he opened the storage space interface on his wrist.

With a flash of light, a pile of materials radiating intense abyssal energy appeared out of thin air and landed on the table.

These are materials from the Abyss Dragon Clan that Lin Yuan had promised Gu Zhi.

This included a large section of a complete Abyss Bone Dragon vertebrae, a dozen or so dark purple, extremely hard Abyss Demon Dragon scales, and some rare mutated ores that accompanied the fall of the Abyss Dragon race.

As soon as these materials were taken out, the temperature in the entire workshop seemed to change because of their presence.

Koji's gaze was instantly drawn to these materials that exuded a high-level aura.

He strode to the table, picked up a dragon scale, and examined it closely.

"This...this is material from an Abyss Dragon! And it's from a high-ranking, adult dragon!"

Koji's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement: "The quality is so good, and the bones even contain abyssal magic."

"Just where in the abyss did you get this good stuff?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said in a calm tone, "I promised to get you some good materials, so here they are."

Gu Zhi carefully put down the materials and turned to look at Lin Yuan.

"You've already completed your second job advancement?" Koji asked, his eyes wide.

Lin Yuan nodded and readily admitted, "That's right, I just completed my second job advancement quest. I just went to see the principal."

"I've obtained the military pass to the Northwest Abyss battlefield and will be setting off for the Northwest front soon for training."
