Chapter 447 Hit Me Once
"Li Weiwei," he began, his voice lower than usual, carrying a metallic quality.
"Hit me."
Li Weiwei: "...Huh?"
She thought she had misheard.
Zhang Tianya looked at her seriously and said, word by word, "Hit me once, with all your might."
Li Weiwei looked at him, then at Lin Tian, completely bewildered.
"Are you crazy? You just leveled up and you're already looking for a fight?"
Zhang Tianya shook his head and said seriously, "I'm not crazy. I just want to test just how strong this new talent really is. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. I need to know where my limits are."
Li Weiwei hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lin Tian.
Lin Tian nodded slightly.
Li Weiwei took a deep breath and clenched her fist.
"Then I'll really hit you," she said. "Don't blame me if you get hurt."
Zhang Tianya nodded, stood still, and assumed a simple defensive stance.
Li Weiwei threw a punch!
The fist whistled through the air, striking Zhang Tianya's chest.
boom!
A muffled thud.
Zhang Tianya stood still, motionless.
Li Weiwei's fist stopped in front of his chest, three centimeters away from his clothes—not because she held back, but because her fist was blocked by an invisible barrier.
The barrier was a pale gold, almost invisible in the sunlight, yet undeniably present. Like a thin film of light, it covered Zhang Tianya's body, firmly blocking Li Weiwei's fist by three centimeters.
Li Weiwei was stunned.
She withdrew her fist, looked at her hand, then at the faintly visible golden barrier, her eyes widening in surprise.
"This is......"
Zhang Tianya looked down at the golden barrier and then smiled.
His smile held satisfaction, surprise, and a hint of unexpectedness that even he hadn't anticipated.
"One of the passive effects of the new talent," he said, "is a permanent damage reduction shield that absorbs 30% of all damage. And it's fully automatic; I don't need to activate it manually. It provides 24/7 protection."
Li Weiwei's eyes widened even more.
"A permanent 30% damage reduction? No cost? It's on 24/7?"
Zhang Tianya nodded.
Li Weiwei murmured, "This is too overpowered... If you add defensive skills to it, who could possibly hurt you?"
Zhang Tianya continued, "That's not all. Throw another punch, use your skill."
Li Weiwei hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
She took a step back, creating some distance, and clenched her right fist, a faint crimson glow appearing on it.
【Blood Moon Strike】—Her burst skill, and also the skill she uses most skillfully. This punch is simply too much for ordinary defensive talents to withstand.
boom!
The fist slammed out again, this time with crimson flames, tearing through the air and striking Zhang Tianya's chest.
Bang! Another muffled thud.
This time, the golden barrier was still there, but Zhang Tianya's body swayed slightly.
A tiny crack appeared on the barrier, spreading outwards like a spider web—but the moment the crack appeared, new light surged in, the crack instantly healed, and the barrier returned to its original state.
Zhang Tianya looked down at his chest and then smiled.
"Impressive," he said. "That punch cost me... 3% of my health."
Li Weiwei: "..."
She was silent for three seconds, her expression shifting from shock to numbness, and then from numbness to complexity.
Then she turned to Lin Tian.
"Boss Lin Tian," she said, her voice tinged with despair, "did you hear that? I used my full power in one skill, and he lost 3% of his health. 3%! That punch of mine would take away half the health of any other average tank player; it would take away a quarter of the health of a specialized defensive player; but against him, only 3%?"
Lin Tian nodded slightly, a faint smile on his lips.
"Not bad," he said. "An SSS-level defensive talent, as expected."
Li Weiwei took a deep breath and turned to Zhang Tianya again.
"What else?" she asked, her eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and fear. "Tell me everything! Shock me all at once!"
Zhang Tianya thought for a moment and then began to display the items one by one.
"First, that permanent shield absorbs 30% of the damage and heals automatically. As long as it's not destroyed instantly, it will remain. I just tested it, and its healing speed is very fast, recovering about 10% of the total shield strength per second."
"Secondly, the health regeneration rate has increased by 500%. I can now regenerate nearly 10% of my health per second while standing still. Even in combat, where the effect is halved, I can still regenerate 5% per second."
Li Weiwei gasped.
"10% per second? Doesn't that mean that as long as you're not instantly killed, you can stand still for ten seconds and regain full health? Wouldn't that make you practically invincible?"
Zhang Tianya laughed, a hint of smugness in his smile: "And there's more. Third, the active skill—[Armor of the Earth]. Once activated, it reduces damage taken by 80% for five seconds and converts 50% of the damage taken into health regeneration. Cooldown... 30 seconds."
Li Weiwei: "..."
She turned to Lin Tian, her expression extremely complicated.
"Lin Tian, listen to this! 30 seconds of 80% damage reduction, plus 50% health regeneration. If he uses his ultimate, who can kill him? Is he even human?"
Lin Tian's lips curled up slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Zhang Tianya continued, "There's also a fourth one—[Unyielding Will]. Passive effect: Reduces the duration of all control skills by 70%. When activated actively, grants immunity to all control effects for five seconds. Cooldown: 60 seconds."
Li Weiwei no longer wanted to talk.
She just stared blankly at Zhang Tianya, her eyes filled with despair, as if saying, "Is this even allowed to live?"
Zhang Tianya burst into laughter at her expression.
"How was that? Impressive, right?"
Li Weiwei glared at him: "Impressive, incredibly impressive. You're like an iron turtle now, who can break you?"
Zhang Tianya chuckled and then looked at Lin Tian.
"Brother Lin Tian," he said earnestly, his smile fading and his eyes becoming solemn, "thank you. Without you, I would never have even come close to SSS-level in my entire life. I will remember this kindness."
Lin Tian waved his hand.
"Don't say that," he said, his tone calm but sincere. "This is what you deserve. The talent enhancement stone was just the starting point; what truly brought you to this point is your own accumulation over the years."
Zhang Tianya was about to say something when he suddenly paused.
He looked at his talent panel.
The original "Rock of Protection" has disappeared there.
Instead, a brand new icon with a pale gold glow has been introduced.
The icon was more complex and refined than before, with each line conveying an indescribable sense of weight and importance.
