Looking at the starkly different attributes of the two...

Even Wang Fei had to admit it.

This newly minted divine armor made the previous battle armor look like a pile of scrap metal.

Its defense and HP far exceeded those of defensive Professionals of the same Rank.

The several skills it possessed were also extremely practical.

At Ye Tianchen's invitation,

Wang Fei couldn't wait to get in, bringing Yan Han and Wei Donglai with him.

After some deliberation, he chose Ye Xun for the currently vacant seat.

It wasn't because of personal closeness.

It was because the other party was a rare Mental-type Professional.

On the battlefield, besides the three brothers being able to play their roles for Zhang Jian,

the various crowd control skills he might face would be the most troublesome.

Ye Xun happened to have a skill that could dispel control effects; it might come in handy.

Under everyone's gaze, the five of them boarded the battle armor and officially entered the battlefield!

It was a humanoid mechanical battle armor with a pale green exterior, featuring smooth lines and a beautiful design.

Standing over eight meters tall, it looked very imposing.

As soon as they entered the battlefield, everyone experienced a sense of lightning-fast speed.

The feeling of moving much faster than their normal speed made Wang Fei scream with delight.

Before long, they approached the area where Zhang Jian was located.

At this moment,

he happened to be besieged by an excellence Rank BOSS leading over a dozen elite monsters.

His body was entangled by a dozen vines, rendering him unable to move.

Continuous damage numbers floated above his head as his HP dropped frantically.

Although he could still hold on thanks to the effect of his [Sword Qi Field], the situation indeed looked grim.

Wang Fei quickly waved his hand, timely applying a shield to him.

Yan Han also waved his staff, freezing the most threatening BOSS monster in its tracks.

Wei Donglai sang loudly; wherever the flames raged, they restored Zhang Jian's HP.

Ye Xun also prepared himself and released a skill on Zhang Jian, dispelling the effects on him.

During this process,

Wang Fei's various support skills were cast on Zhang Jian as if they cost nothing.

Under the enhancement of various lights, Zhang Jian looked like a god of war.

The moment he regained his mobility, he swung his sword and let out a long cry as lightning flashed.

Thundercloud Sword Qi bloomed magnificently on the battlefield once again!

The monsters that were arrogant just a moment ago died one by one under the powerful Sword Qi.

The five people on the [wind walker] watched the screen-filling notifications of massive experience points and cheered for Zhang Jian.

The [wind walker] even released bursts of suction, instantly picking up all the variously colored glows that dropped.

It not only automatically finished picking up the equipment and Materials that had just dropped but also stored them in the mecha's built-in 100-slot inventory.

Seeing this, Zhang Jian also nodded in satisfaction.

This guy's battle armor is actually quite useful.

It wasn't a waste of my effort to nurture him.

Seeing Zhang Jian's thumbs-up, Ye Tianchen on the divine armor was even more excited.

Heavens, my idol gave me a thumbs-up!

I've finally gained the recognition of a powerhouse through my own strength!

Ye Tianchen even began to imagine that with the help of his divine armor, the battle could end quickly and the mission would be completed with Perfection!

A fire seemed to ignite in his heart.

So,

when a massive monster appeared on the battlefield next,

Ye Tianchen wanted to show off a bit.

He directly operated the [wind walker] to arrive first.

He wanted to lure it over so that Zhang Jian could kill it easily.

However, with a roar, the opponent smashed a heavy fist onto the [wind walker].

The people inside the divine armor were shaken and nearly lost their footing.

-100,000!

As the damage number floated up, Ye Tianchen's face turned pale.

What kind of hellish damage is this?

A single punch took away nearly half of the divine armor's HP.

Seeing the monster about to strike again, he quickly activated the skill [Absolute Defense].

-25,000!

-25,000!

Even so, the monster's two consecutive punches still dealt significant damage.

Now,

Ye Tianchen panicked a little.

[Absolute Defense] could instantly increase defense by 500% and provide 50% damage absorption.

Yet he was still beaten like this.

This monster is simply too strong!

When he saw Zhang Jian arrive and face the monster alone, he couldn't help but worry and shouted through the divine armor.

“Brother Jian, be careful, this guy is extremely strong!”

As soon as he finished speaking, that terrifying punch slammed into Zhang Jian.

Under his horrified gaze, a damage number floated up.

-20,000!

Zhang Jian's body didn't even sway; only the first layer of the [Sword Qi Field]'s outer shield flickered slightly.

Immediately after,

with the help of accumulated critical hit modifiers, Zhang Jian used a single [Sword Qi Slash] to instant-kill the monster.

“Teammate [Zhang Jian] has killed the Rank 46 legendary rank BOSS [Roaring Berserk Orc].”

“You have gained 385,000 (+1,386,000) experience points.”

“Teammate [Zhang Jian]'s skill [Experience Torrent] activated; you have gained an additional 320,166 experience points.”

“Teammate [Zhang Jian]'s skill [Experience Torrent] designated effect activated; you have gained an additional 23,027,558 experience points.”

“Teammate [Zhang Jian]'s skill [Experience Torrent] trait [Overload] activated; you have gained an additional 23,347,724 experience points.”

Looking at the System prompts floating up, Ye Tianchen's mouth hung open.

The one Brother Jian just one-shotted was actually a legendary rank BOSS?

Usually, doesn't an existence of this level require a top-tier 10-man team to even attempt a challenge?

Not to mention, this BOSS was 36 Ranks higher than himself and a full 26 Ranks higher than Brother Jian.

To be able to kill it so easily across so many Ranks, Ye Tianchen felt he had truly seen the world today.

And the gain of nearly 50 million experience points made his breathing almost stop.

This... is too terrifying!

Seeing Zhang Jian wave at him, Ye Tianchen's face flushed red.

He had actually thought of warning Brother Jian; he still didn't understand his strength.

Instead, a reminder from Zhang Jian made his face turn even redder.

“The battle armor's resistance is still a bit lacking; find a way to improve it further.”

Ye Tianchen's heart tightened.

That's right.

He was lucky to begin with; it was with Brother Jian's help that his class skills underwent a transformation.

And it was by relying on the massive experience points provided by Zhang Jian that he obtained such a divine armor.

Now, the divine armor he was so complacent about couldn't even match the resistance of the main DPS, Brother Jian.

This was simply a disgrace!

But currently, [wind walker] had already been upgraded to its current Rank limit; how else could it be strengthened?

He turned a pleading gaze toward his teammates beside him.

Wang Fei was directly speechless.

“Increase your own Rank first!”

Ye Tianchen woke up as if from a dream.

He had originally thought about relying on the level-gap bonus to leech more experience.

Looking at it now,

the main way to gain experience was still through Zhang Jian's powerful skill effect.

Even with his extra 360% level-gap bonus, it was just a drop in the ocean compared to that effect.

There was no need for that at all!

He immediately began to operate.

Rays of golden light continuously rose from his body.
