Chapter 119: Iâm the Tank, So Thatâs How It Can Be Done
Though Ning Yiyi didnât understand, she still obediently followed instructions.
Standing on the high city wall, she could only vaguely see Lin Moyuâs shadow.
Ning Yiyi decisively activated her skill, greatly enhancing her eyesight.
"Finally I can see clearly."
She giggled and sat down.
She wanted to take out something to eat, but the storage space was sealed and nothing could be taken out.
After rummaging through her pockets, she finally pulled out a sweet potato.
"Good thing I prepared in advance." Ning Yiyi carefully peeled the sweet potato and ate it bit by bit.
If Lin Moyu was there, he would recognize it as the sweet potato he had given her.
He didnât expect Ning Yiyi to keep it until now.
Fortunately with storage space, food stored inside didnât need to worry about spoiling.
Lin Moyu had already arranged his battle formation.
With experience from last time, he was much more skilled this time.
The skeleton mages stood in a circle around the plaza, surrounding the Outpost Guardian in the center.
All the skeleton warriors were recalled.
Lin Moyu stood in front of the stone statue, Bone Armor on his body, not worried at all.
At level 23, Bone Armorâs defense had strengthened again.
Equivalent to 69,000 constitution worth of defense, it would take the Outpost Guardian a very long time to break through even if Lin Moyu just stood there.
The stone statue shook, its outer shell cracking and falling off.
The entire plaza rumbled, the fortress trembling.
Seeing Lin Moyu recall all the skeleton warriors, Ning Yiyi was even more curious, "Why did you recall the skeleton warriors? Are you not fighting?"
Just as she believed Lin Moyu could clear Hell difficulty, she now had no doubts.
She was just curious, like a curious little cat.
The Outpost Guardian fully awakened. Lin Moyuâs palm ignited with Soul Fire, attacking directly into its soul.
The skeleton mages attacked simultaneously after Lin Moyu made his move.
Various spells rained down on the Outpost Guardian.
The Outpost Guardian screamed in pain, then roared to the sky.
Lin Moyu pressed his palm down, red light filling the sky.
Red shackles immediately appeared above the Outpost Guardianâs head. Its roar abruptly cut off, becoming intermittent.
The slow effect was all-encompassing, no action could escape it.
Then white light burst from the Outpost Guardianâs body, diluting the Slow Curse. Its speed recovered significantly.
Lin Moyu felt the Slow Curse had been weakened by several times.
Now it was at most slowed by 3-4 times.
A far cry from the skillâs 34.5 times effect.
The Outpost Guardian shook violently, its whole body glowing.
Skill: Mass Knockback.
Lin Moyu stood firm, Bone Armor tanking the skill. The knockback effect failed to work.
The Outpost Guardian raged furiously, roaring as it leapt high.
Its giant blade slammed down.
"Ah!"
Ning Yiyi on the city wall cried out in shock.
Lin Moyu didnât dodge at all. That blade much larger than a person fell - he should have been smashed to a pulp.
Bone Armor flashed brilliantly, firmly blocking the blade. Lin Moyu was completely unharmed.
The Mass Stun skill also failed to take effect.
At this moment, a group of skeletons appeared around the Outpost Guardian.
Not many, about 20.
As soon as they appeared, they activated skills.
Skill: Berserk Strike!
With red light from the skills, blade after blade fell on the Outpost Guardian.
Scales cracked as the Outpost Guardian screamed non-stop.
Soul Fire never ceased.
As Lin Moyuâs currently strongest single-target damage skill, Soul Fire never disappointed him.
Its damage was even higher than the skeleton magesâ skills.
After activating their skills, the skeleton warriors began attacking frantically, blade after blade.
10 seconds later, the Outpost Guardianâs skills came off cooldown and it activated them again.
The instant it activated skills, Lin Moyu recalled all the skeleton warriors.
As soon as its skills ended, another batch of skeleton warriors appeared.
Also 20, a new batch.
A fresh batch that hadnât used skills yet.
They also activated skills, dealing a wave of damage.
When the Outpost Guardian activated skills again, they all disappeared.
Ning Yiyi was stunned.
So bosses could be fought like this.
So mages could also be tanks.
So summoning could be this flexible.
So this set of Bone Armor had such strong defense.
Ning Yiyiâs eyes curved into crescents, sparkling with starlight, all focused on Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu continued like this, wave after wave.
The efficiency was much higher than last time.
After just ten minutes, the seemingly powerful Outpost Guardian was ground down by Lin Moyu.
It fell to the ground unwillingly.

[Dragon Crystal Core: Extremely rare material, can be used to craft various items]
Looking at the attributes of the magic sword and robe,
Lin Moyu felt that after reaching level 30, he could replace his Spirit set with the Hell Outpost set.
Though the mage bonuses were useless to him, the all attribute increases were much higher, better than the Spirit set overall.
Ning Yiyi leapt down from the city wall in a flash, running quickly to Lin Moyu and hugging him tightly.
"Whatâs wrong?" Lin Moyu was at a loss, not understanding what happened.
Ning Yiyi cried happily, "Career Transition Certificate! I got a Career Transition Certificate!"
"Isnât the Career Transition Certificate a guaranteed drop?"
Lin Moyu found it strange why she was so excited about something that always dropped in Hell dungeons.
Ning Yiyi realized she may have overreacted. She quickly let go of Lin Moyu, stepping back two paces with a red face, head lowered.
To suppress her embarrassment, Ning Yiyi quickly changed the subject, "Though itâs guaranteed, itâs not that simple."
"For example, Hell dungeons need at least 12 people, sometimes 18 or even 24."
"Clearing once drops one Career Transition Certificate, randomly given to someone who doesnât have one."
"So for a fixed team, if everyone needs to get a certificate, a 12-person team needs to clear 12 times."
"An 18-person team needs to clear 18 times..."
"Hell dungeons are tiring and dangerous. Clearing over a dozen times would drive you crazy."
"The Career Transition Certificate became the hardest step of second transition. Countless people get stuck here."
Lin Moyu thought of the dungeon missions in the university.
Having to clear the large Tyrant Desert dungeon, which also had countless people stuck.
The two seemed very similar.
Lin Moyu didnât think more about it. Now that the boss was defeated, the dungeon restrictions were lifted.
Lin Moyu took out the Hell Outpost Dagger and handed it to Ning Yiyi, "This is for you."
