Starting with 10,000 times the experience, and you're calling me a terrible player?

Lin Mo did not delve deeper immediately, but instead opened his personal panel.

After reaching level 17, his skill bar finally lit up faintly.

The first skill has appeared!

It's worth mentioning that skills in this world are all learned through leveling up; there are no skill books everywhere.

This is why job rank is so important.

A powerful profession naturally leads to the acquisition of even more powerful skills.

Some rare items can also help people learn skills, but these things are always hard to come by.

Lin Mo opened the panel, and a brand new skill lay there quietly.

Parry (Level 1)

[Parry enemy physical attacks with your weapon within 0.5 seconds, reducing damage taken by 20% and reflecting 5% of physical damage. A perfect parry has a chance to stun the target.]

(For each level up, damage reduction increases by 1%, and damage reflection increases by 0.5%)

[Cooldown: 2 seconds]

[Cost: 30 Mana]

If it's a Flame Warrior, Thunder Warrior, or something similar.

They might learn some fancy stuff like Flame Strike or Thunder Cleave.

Unfortunately, he was just a very simple, unskilled soldier.

That's enough.

Talents require job advancement to advance, but skills can be advanced for the first time once they reach level 100!

And after advancing, it will undergo a true qualitative change.

If he remembers the textbook correctly, the Parry skill will undergo a qualitative change when it reaches level 100—it will evolve from only being able to parry physical attacks to being able to parry all elemental attacks!

And the reflected damage becomes true damage!

Try to think about it.

When his parry's damage reduction effect reaches 100%, it's equivalent to having an invincibility frame every 2 seconds.

Anyone who plays melee heroes knows how cunning Diao Chan is.

Moreover, Lin Mo values ​​its counter-damage even more.

If your level is high enough, you can hit me and I will reflect 1000% of the true damage.

It was so hard to keep it up; I just couldn't suppress the smile on my face.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Lin Mo had already crossed the dried-up riverbed.

On the opposite bank of the riverbed stood a tattered red warning sign:

[High-risk area: Territory of monsters level 15-20. New players are strictly prohibited from entering!]

High in the sky, Qin Lan's expression changed instantly.

"Is he insane?"

"High-level monsters do give more points, but compared to the danger they pose, it's simply not worth it!"

Monsters level 15 and above exhibit exponential growth in all attributes and possess a strong sense of territory and a bloodthirsty instinct.

Even elite professionals of the same level, fully armed, can only go toe-to-toe with these monsters.

Even though he's a beginner with no special skills, and he's reached level 17, he has no equipment and practically no combat power.

"You're courting death! Do you really think you're invincible just because you've reached level 17?"

Qin Lan snorted coldly, but a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

"That's fine, the sooner they suffer a loss, the sooner I'll take them away."

She would immediately send Lin Mo back if he was in danger.

Save his life, and incidentally crush his ridiculous pride.

Below, on the opposite bank of the riverbed.

The smell of blood in the air suddenly became stronger.

The scorched earth on the ground had a dark red color, and the surroundings were so quiet that even the wind had stopped.

"Thump."

"Thump."

Heavy footsteps came from the depths of the withered forest ahead.

The earth began to tremble slightly.

Lin Mo stopped and looked up.

A colossal creature, nearly three meters tall, smashed through a dead tree blocking its path and came into Lin Mo's view.

It was a giant bear, its fur standing on end like steel needles, its eyes bloodshot, and its huge paws covered in disgusting bits of meat.

[Bloodthirsty Berserker Bear (Elite)]

[Level: 17]

【Strength: 350】

[Physical Fitness: 200]

【Speed: 180】

【Spirit: 200】

HP: 3500/3500

Skills: Frenzied Bite, Ground Slam

Lin Mo looked at the data popping up on his retina and felt a sense of boredom.

"That's all for level 17?"

The raging bear looked down at the human who barely reached its waist, a savage glint in its crimson eyes.

A sudden pounce!

"Bang!"

The raging bear's powerful hind legs shattered the rocky ground, and its massive body, like an out-of-control heavy armored vehicle, charged straight at Lin Mo with suffocating wind pressure!

That's incredibly fast!

Ten meters away, covered in the blink of an eye.

It raised its right claw, as big as a millstone, and with a piercing screech, it brought it down on its head!

In mid-air, Qin Lan clenched the teleportation rune in her hand.

"With his level 17 health, he can withstand 3 hits!"

"As soon as he gets hit twice, I'll teleport him back immediately."

The raging bear's attacks are exceptionally fierce; those who have never seen bloodshed may be paralyzed with fear.

However, Lin Mo had no intention of hiding.

The Berserker Bear has a Strength of 350.

His Parry talent reduces all damage by 5910 points.

Even if he stood still, the bear couldn't break through his defenses.

But that would be too boring.

"Let's try out this new skill."

Lin Mo took a deep breath, gripped the iron sword tightly with both hands, and stared intently.

Observe the actions.

Determine the trajectory.

The moment the bear's claws were less than half a meter from his head, Lin Mo lowered his waist, and his iron sword moved from below, precisely blocking in front of him.

[Parry!]

"clang--!!!"

A visible white shockwave emanated from the center of the man and the bear, radiating outwards!

The dry grass within a ten-meter radius was instantly shaken by the blast wave and made a rustling sound!

Immediately afterwards, a crisp cracking sound rang out.

"Snap!"

Lin Mo was left with only a broken sword.

This level 17 elite monster was forced back a step by its own strength.

"Damn, what kind of junk did the camp give us?" Lin Mo muttered speechlessly.

The pale gold panel on his retina showed his parrying skill level constantly fluctuating.

[Parry successful! Gain 1 parry experience point.]

[Current experience multiplier: 27000x!]

[Actual skill experience gained: 27000 points!]

54,000 experience points!

[Ding! Parry skill upgraded to level 2!]

[Ding! Parry skill upgraded to level 3!]

[Ding! Parry skill upgraded to level 4!]

……

[Ding! Your level has increased to 15!]

[Level 15 Parry: Parry enemy physical attacks with your weapon, reducing physical damage by 34% and reflecting 12% of physical damage back.]

Lin Mo's eyes widened.

Does parrying once level you up to level 15?

Old Jin's forced increase of experience gain to 1 point has taken effect again.

If it were someone else, they would probably need to parry dozens of perfectly before they could gain any experience.

As long as he can use it effectively, he will at least gain some experience!

Then Lao Jin will forcibly multiply this 1 point of experience by 27000 times!

That's incredibly powerful!

Hard work really pays off!

The sweat I shed will eventually bring me a hundredfold reward!

The raging bear was knocked back.

The roar shattered the withered leaves scattered on the ground.

The broken sword fell to the ground with a clatter.

Lin Mo immediately dropped the broken sword in his hand.

High in the sky, Qin Lan clenched her fist.

We've lost all our weapons, surely we should be able to call for help now?

below.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the raging bear flew into a rage.

The ants in front of it dared to resist it.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his muscles were bulging.

The skill [Frenzied Bite] is activated.

A gaping maw suddenly lunged forward!

Lin Mo clenched his fist.

Just stuff it into its mouth!

Repeated tricks!

Since the weapon is broken and we can't defend ourselves, then we shouldn't bother defending ourselves.

From Qin Lan's perspective in the sky.

"Not again?!"

She let out a gasp of disbelief.

"Doesn't he want his hands anymore?!"

Her brain was working at lightning speed.

"No matter how you look at it, at the same level, even a Berserker Bear would have a hard time one-shotting him; it's not like a severed arm can't be reattached!"

Qin Lan was calculating the damage.

Holding the prop in her hand, she was confident that she could save Lin Mo in time, no matter what.

As long as there is still a breath left, they can be saved.

below.

"roar!!!"

The raging bear howled in agony, spitting out a mouthful of broken teeth.

A number floated lightly above Lin Mo's head.

"-0"

That's the magic of blocking!

Back in the day, Kai's dad stood in the circle waiting for Diao Chan to scrub his back. What's wrong with me, Lin Mo, letting you take a bite?

Even with its ultimate attack, a monster at level 10 or so will only deal a maximum of 700 or 800 damage.

With such an absurd block value, it doesn't even qualify to inflict forced damage!

Lin Mo pulled his right arm back sharply, his muscles and veins bulging.

A straight punch was thrown out fiercely!

The air emitted a muffled sonic boom.

The fist slammed solidly into the raging bear's soft belly.

"-80!"

The Berserker Bear has 100 points of defense, while Lin Mo has 180 points of strength, so his punch deals 80 points of damage.

The damage isn't exactly low, it's just pure scraping.

But that's enough.

Today, he's going to use his fists to give this elite monster a good scraping!
