Chapter 154: Absolute Defense.

Xiao Fen had once seen Stitched Monsters exceeding that level in the Level 4 Trial World. At least according to Sylvia, the defense ability of those Stitched Monsters had already exceeded Level 4.

Xiao Fen had a vague concept of how much defense a Level 4 Monster should have. Compared to those Level 3 creatures he killed last night, Xiao Fen couldn’t break the defense of Level 4 creatures using Normal quality weapon s. It might not even cause minimum damage.

Xiao Fen once thought that achieving the defense of a Level 4 creature in this Level 3 Ming Dynasty Trial World was already very powerful. However, after witnessing Lycaon’s performance, these thoughts were completely thrown to the back of his mind.

Before entering this residence, to avoid unnecessary dangerous consequences in case of accidents, Xiao Fen made two Constitution Potions. He used one himself and gave the other to Lycaon.

Lycaon expressed relief that Xiao Fen could make potions, especially the Constitution Potion, which was more meaningful to him. It would make Lycaon even more powerful. Of course, if this Constitution Potion could add 20 Constitution, that would be even better.

Subsequently, this Trialist who devoured steel displayed a part of his strength in front of Xiao Fen.

First, all the epidermal cells on his body surface underwent cocoonization. A fine layer of cocoons instantly enveloped this burly Trialist. Even his eyelids changed. His blinking eyelids, constantly making slight noises, sounded like the keratin layer of a lizard had transferred onto Lycaon’s body.

Of course, if at this moment Lycaon’s eyes could move independently like a lizard’s, then Lycaon, whose whole body was starting to show scale armor patterns from the cocoon skin, would look exactly like a miniature Godzilla.

However, this was only the first step of defense enhancement.

After the skin surface completed its strengthening and turned into patches of scale armor, a layer of fine bones rapidly proliferated on top of these scales. In the blink of an eye, these bones formed a tightly structured bone armor. This layer of armor was very hard and sturdy, and covered with sharp Bone Spurs. In Xiao Fen’s eyes, the hardness of these Bone Spurs was no different from those steel spikes. Just looking at them, one could feel the sharpness. If one were pricked by these Bone Spurs in battle, Xiao Fen couldn’t imagine how painful it would be.

Of course, just like the eyes were covered by scale armor, above the scales, the bone protective shell also covered Lycaon’s eyes. This degree of defense made Xiao Fen believe that even if there were arrows specifically aimed at the eyes, Lycaon only needed to close his eyes to render those arrows meaningless.

This was Lycaon’s second layer of defense. In Xiao Fen’s view, just this defense alone was already far beyond the defense level of Level 3 creatures, and might even be higher than the defense of Level 4 creatures.

However, Lycaon’s performance was not over yet. It seemed to be a response to Xiao Fen using Qigong and Greek Fire skills in the early morning. Outside Lycaon’s bone armor, at some point, a large amount of metal particles began to secrete out. These fine metal particles kept spreading, eventually covering the surface of the bone armor within a few seconds, and constantly thickening. Finally, it turned into a new metal armor.

With those fine metal particles covering it, the originally extremely sharp Bone Spurs now looked no different from terrible metal daggers. Xiao Fen believed that without Lycaon lifting a finger, just rushing into the enemy group with this armor would be enough to cause terrible damage. Moreover, it was very likely that Lycaon would not suffer any harm from beginning to end.

Once defense power was raised to a disparity that was too great, then even minimum damage couldn’t be formed. Plus, if Lycaon’s Attribute was Constitution-focused, after using the Constitution Potion, Lycaon’s HP and defense would reach a terrifying level.

Xiao Fen thought again and again. If he encountered an opponent like Lycaon, once Qigong and Greek Fire were not effective, aside from using Corrosive Poison to slowly wear down the armor, there seemed to be no other way to cause truly effective damage to such an opponent.

The problem was, if Lycaon could secrete new metal armor and bone armor at any time to make up for the defense defects caused by the Corrosive Poison, then Xiao Fen might fall into a predicament where he had no moves left.

This was not just a defense ability exceeding the same level. One could say that even in a Level 4 Trial World, the defense ability Lycaon displayed could guarantee he faced those Level 4 creatures almost unharmed. From a certain angle, Lycaon’s body was the best embodiment of absolute defense.

“If I give up the Bone Spurs, I can wear an additional layer of Natural-grade steel armor outside this metal armor. The defense would be even higher. Of course, if I could have a Natural-grade shield, purely from the perspective of physical defense, even modern rifles couldn’t cause effective damage to me.”

This might count as Lycaon’s usual self-praise, but Xiao Fen didn’t plan to verify it. Looking at a guy who wrapped himself up completely, to the point where he could be completely unharmed in this Trial World, was extreme torture for someone like Xiao Fen who often got injured.

“Those watching us secretly include not only the Mortal World of this Trial World but also those Trialists who have entered this Trial World. We triggered the Main Quest before and were recognized by the Mortal World. For those Trialists still searching for targets everywhere in this world, we are also the best targets. If we can’t appear stronger, in the coming time, you will watch your tasks being constantly obstructed by those Trialists, and ultimately gain nothing.”

Lycaon said this. Such heavy defense did not make his movements slow. He jumped up easily, hooked the wall about five meters high with one hand, and suddenly exerted force. His whole body was like a flying meteor hammer, quickly falling from outside the wall into the inside. With a bang, the splashing blood even fell outside the wall.

“I’d rather believe you want to use such a dazzling method for your sister to discover your existence and then find you.”

As Xiao Fen said this, he lightly landed from the high wall top. Unlike Lycaon, Xiao Fen’s movement up the wall was more extended. If one were to describe it using a move from Huaxia, it should be considered Ti Yun Zong.

His body went straight up. His feet kicked twice on the wall surface. His excellent control over his body and increased strength allowed him to easily rush up to the top of the wall. From beginning to end, his body didn’t bend. It was as easy as if this high wall was just the road Xiao Fen walked daily.
