Chapter 24: Tyrant Blade, Yu Zhilin!

[Defensive Stance]: Mutated active skill, status skill. Increases defense value by 100%, reduces final damage taken by 20%, has a 25% chance to restore 10% of own HP when attacked, and reduces pain sensation by 70%.

Skill cost: 100 Mana.

Skill duration: 10 seconds.

Skill cooldown: 50 seconds.

……

A super defensive skill. With Luo Chenyu’s current attributes, as long as he activates [Defensive Stance], Tier 1 professionals simply cannot break through his defense.

Not to mention, there is also a 25% chance to heal while being beaten.

He is practically an unkillable cockroach.

And this skill happens to fill the gap left by [Steel Shield]; combined with [Steadfast Unyielding], it can greatly enhance his survivability.

The rarest skill of the second tier, it lives up to its name.

……

In the pitch-black night, Luo Chenyu and Ye Xingtong arrived beneath the high wall.

According to the principal’s arrangements, someone would be waiting for them at the city gate to ensure their safety during night operations.

However……

When Luo Chenyu saw that familiar face, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

"You’ve finally arrived; you really kept your teacher waiting!"

Luo Chenyu was silent for a moment, then said, "Good evening, Mr. Yu. The traffic was a bit heavy on the way here!"

That’s right!

The person protecting their safety during the night journey was none other than the Director of the Discipline Department, Mr. Yu.

At this moment, Mr. Yu was not hiding his information.

Luo Chenyu could clearly see his strength.

[Yu Zhilin]

[Class: Tyrant Blade]

[Level: LV.72]

[Strength: Tier 5]

Mr. Yu was actually a Tier 5 powerhouse, and a special class of the Profound Dragon Kingdom, the Tyrant Blade!

Such strength would definitely rank high in a small place like Longshan City; to think he was holed up at Longshan No. 1 High School as the Discipline Director……

"Traffic……"

Yu Zhilin’s expression immediately collapsed. Who are you trying to fool? It’s past eleven at night, where would you find traffic to get stuck in!

But thinking of Luo Chenyu and Ye Xingtong’s results in the novice dungeon.

He had nothing more to say.

Bringing glory to the No. 1 High School—that alone was enough.

His gaze remained fixed on Luo Chenyu. One shouldn't judge a book by its cover; this kid had given him far too many surprises.

It almost shattered his worldview.

An SSSS rating—he had never even heard of such a thing!

After a moment of silence, Yu Zhilin spoke slowly: "Let’s go. That place is not close!"

"Understood!"

Luo Chenyu and Ye Xingtong exchanged a glance and hurriedly followed in Yu Zhilin’s footsteps.

The night road was difficult to travel.

Luo Chenyu truly realized this now.

Watching Yu Zhilin slice a black demonic filth in two with a single blade strike, he felt almost numb.

How long had they been out?

They had already encountered over a dozen waves of attacks from demonic filth and fierce beasts.

Fortunately, the even more ferocious Yu Zhilin was there, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

They continued forward.

Finally, after more than an hour.

They arrived outside a mountain forest. "You two wait here for a moment!"

Yu Zhilin left behind these words and, without the slightest hesitation, charged into the forest.

Not long after, blade light flickered, and the sound of blades ringing out echoed.

This situation continued for nearly a minute.

"You can come in now!"

The night-shrouded forest was littered with broken corpses; a timid person wouldn't even dare to enter.

Fortunately, Luo Chenyu and Ye Xingtong were not ordinary people.

"Ahead is the location of the Tier 1 special secret realm. It was only discovered this morning and has been cordoned off by the Education Department."

"This is a nascent secret realm; there is a high probability of super-tier monsters appearing. Once you encounter one, retreat immediately and find a safe place to explore."

As Yu Zhilin moved forward, he kept providing information.

"Also, there are many monsters in the secret realm. Do not be reckless, especially you, Luo Chenyu. You are a defensive warrior; you must protect Ye Xingtong well!"

Immediately after, he handed a communicator to Ye Xingtong.

"After you come out, use the magic energy phone to contact me. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be nearby!"

Luo Chenyu: "……"

That flag was a bit reckless!

Not long after.

The group arrived at a secluded mountain stream. More than ten meters away, behind a rock, a bronze-colored light was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

"Go on, that is the secret realm!"

"Mr. Yu, take care!"

Along the way, Luo Chenyu’s attitude toward this Discipline Director who had once mocked him had changed drastically.

He was a true teacher.

And at the same time, a powerful Tyrant Blade!

……

"Ding, you have discovered the Tier 1 special secret realm [Dark Riverside]. This secret realm has a high difficulty. Do you wish to enter?"

"Confirm!"

The two figures disappeared into the mountain forest, and the light at the entrance of the secret realm dissipated along with them.

But when Luo Chenyu and Ye Xingtong appeared again.

They were already inside a forest. The strange, twisted trees were very eerie under the dark night.

Fortunately, a blood-colored moon hung in the night sky, allowing them to see the surrounding environment.

At this moment.

Information about the special secret realm [Dark Riverside] appeared before their eyes.

[Dark Riverside]

Secret Realm Difficulty: Tier 1, Special Difficulty

Clearance Requirements: Kill the Dark Skeleton King (0/1) or kill 3,000 Dark Skeletons (0/3000)

Current Team: Luo Chenyu (Level 5, Defensive Warrior), Ye Xingtong (Level 3, Rage Flame Mage)

Experience Bonus: 50% for a two-person team, 100% for a nascent secret realm

……

"Phew!" Ye Xingtong let out a sigh of relief. Her cold expression vanished instantly, and a brilliant smile appeared on her face.

"Mute, Big Sister will carry you... Huh, what is this skill?"

Several notification sounds rang in Ye Xingtong’s ears.

"Ding, your teammate has added a damage-absorbing shield to you, lasting 45 seconds!"

"Ding, you have gained 'Fanatic Status'; you receive a 50% damage bonus while the shield lasts!"

"Ding, you have gained 'Taunt Aura'; you gain taunt ability while the shield lasts!"

In an instant, the smile that had just appeared on her face froze, and her face was filled with shock.

Can such a broken skill really be possessed by a Level 5 defensive warrior?

As an S-rank hidden class, even her initial skills weren't this buggy!
