The atmosphere on the lawn of Kunlun Palace was extremely tense at one point.

It wasn't because of the golden dragon that had just punched a hole in the ceiling, but because of these three "old rascals" who were nearly four hundred years old combined.

"Little Su, I'm not bragging, but my granddaughter is proficient in everything from music and chess to calligraphy and painting. She's also a national first-class dancer. Her figure and appearance are a perfect match for you..." Zhang Daoxuan completely lost his previous aloof and dignified demeanor and grabbed Su Yun's sleeve to start promoting his daughter.

"Give me a break, you old fogey!"

Old Wang, standing nearby, suddenly shoved Zhang Daoxuan, making him stumble. He glared at Zhang with wide, round eyes and said, "Can dancing kill enemies? Can it protect our country? Little Su is a pillar of the nation, destined for great things! My granddaughter, Wang Tienan—listen to that name! The chief instructor of the special operations brigade, those long legs could kick a concrete pillar in half—she's a perfect match for you! This is a powerful alliance!"

"Rude! Absolutely an insult to civility!" Even the ever-smiling Old Li couldn't sit still any longer and interjected, "Young Su is now a national shaman, a cultured person. Cultured people deserve intelligent people. My granddaughter, a genius girl who just received a Nobel Prize nomination in Biology, has an IQ of 180! Can your granddaughters, who only know how to dance and fight, discuss quantum mechanics with Su Yun? Can they discuss genetic engineering? If she has a child whose IQ skyrockets, that would truly be a contribution to the country through eugenics!"

Su Yun was caught in the middle, listening to the three big shots almost having a real-life showdown on the lawn to promote their granddaughter, and he was sweating bullets.

What is this?

The troubles of a national hero?

If they were enemies, Su Yun could throw a skill at them to calm them down, but facing these three old heroes who had protected the country for half their lives, and who were genuinely showing concern as elders, he really couldn't afford to lose his temper.

Su Yun gave Long Yi a meaningful look, hoping to save him from his predicament.

Unfortunately, just as Long Yi approached, Old Wang casually shoved him aside, leaving him with his words stuck in his throat.

Fortunately, there was Qin Shuangyue. Although she was usually cold and aloof, she didn't let them down at the crucial moment. With a stern face, she squeezed next to Su Yun and, on the grounds that "Comrade Su Yun has just completed her job change and needs to undergo physical data testing immediately," she forcefully snatched Su Yun away from the three enthusiastic "matchmakers."

Su Yun felt like he had been granted a pardon. He stole a thank-you look at Qin Shuangyue, then turned and ran, his movements as fast as if a dog was chasing him.

A few faint sounds of unwilling arguing could still be heard behind them.

"Look what you've done! You've scared the child away!"

"Bullshit! It's clearly your special operations brigade's granddaughter who's too fierce!"

"It's alright, Xiao Su is shy, and he still has his parents. Come on, let's have a chat with Xiao Su's parents!"

……

Fortunately, Su Yun didn't hear what came after that, otherwise she probably would have slipped and fallen.

Back in his cultivation room at the villa, he locked the door and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

The older generation was too enthusiastic about arranged marriages; now it's an era of free love.

After calming himself down, Su Yun sat cross-legged on the carpet and focused his attention on the system panel in his mind.

The job change is complete; the profession has changed from [Totem Shaman] to [National Guardian Shaman], and you can tell how prestigious it is just from the name.

He first clicked on the most prominent passive skill.

[Long-lasting dynasty (passive)]

[Effect 1: Protection by National Fortune. As long as the Dragon Xia Kingdom exists and the dragon vein continues, the host possesses the characteristic of "Absolute Survival." Regardless of the level of fatal damage suffered (including but not limited to rule obliteration and causal law strikes), the host's health will be locked at a minimum of 1 point.]

[Effect Two: Shared Responsibility. All damage suffered by the host will be shared by the 9.6 million square kilometers of land and its natural defenses through a connection to the nation's destiny.]

[Note: You want to kill me? Fine. But first, destroy this 9.6 million square kilometers of land, cut off these ever-flowing rivers, and extinguish this 5,000-year-old civilization. Otherwise, I am gone forever.]

Looking at these lines of text, Su Yun blinked, then rubbed her face vigorously.

"Holy crap..."

Even after living two lives, and even with his calm and composed nature, his heart couldn't help but pound violently at this moment.

What is this?

This is an officially certified invincible cheat!

In the past, in games, skills that could lock your health for five seconds were considered the ultimate moves. Now, instead, they've created a permanent health lock?

As long as the country exists, I will not die.

This sense of security is simply indescribable.

And then there's "sharing the burden of mountains and rivers," isn't that just "being of one heart and one mind"? It's even more exaggerated.

Su Yun did a quick calculation in his mind.

Imagine a forbidden spell powerful enough to destroy a city crashing down on him. It would normally inflict 100 million points of damage, enough to pulverize him into elementary particles. But what if that 100 million points of damage were instantly spread across 9.6 million square kilometers of land…

How much damage does it withstand per square kilometer? Ten points of damage?

Every inch of land might feel like it's been bitten by a mosquito, and even the roadside grass wouldn't bend over.

Unless the other party possesses the ability to instantly obliterate the entire Dragon Summer land, no one can kill him.

With this passive ability, even if he were to face a demon god who could destroy the world at any moment, he would dare to slap him twice and then run away.

As expected, his talent never disappointed him; this job change was a huge win!

After calming his excitement, Su Yun looked at the skill tree.

After changing jobs, the original basic totem skills did not disappear. Instead, they were reforged and strengthened, with their effects increasing several times over.

But that's not the point.

The key point is that, as a profession modified by talent, the [National Guardian Shaman] has its own unique skill system.

Su Yun looked at the several boxes of high-concentration energy crystals that were still unused next to him.

These are all resources specially approved by Elder Long.

"Perfect timing, let's press on with this momentum."

Without saying a word, Su Yun picked up a crystal and crushed it.

Click.

A blue mist of energy instantly enveloped him.

[Experience points +10000!]

[Level upgraded to LV6...]

This upgrade was slower than before, since higher levels require more experience. But Su Yun had plenty of high-purity crystals.

It feels like playing a pay-to-win mobile game. While others are still painstakingly grinding daily tasks, he just spends 648 yuan, taps the screen a few times, and that's it.

As box after box of crystals turned into empty shells, Su Yun's aura steadily increased.

Half an hour later.

When the last box of crystals was exhausted, the turbulent energy fluctuations around Su Yun gradually subsided.

[Level upgraded to LV20!]

[Congratulations, host! You have unlocked the National Protection series of skill trees!]

[Gained a new skill (15/15)!]

Looking at the densely packed skill prompts popping up, Su Yun felt as if an encyclopedia had been stuffed into his brain, with countless profound runes and knowledge being forcibly instilled into him.

Fortunately, his mental strength is now much stronger than before, and he recovered quickly after a slight dizziness.

"Let me see what good stuff you have."
