Chapter 192 A Massive Discovery

Although Bastion no longer wore any armor, he gave off the impression of an immovable wall or impenetrable fortress. A successful Class Change produced incredible effects.
Bastion breathed calmly as the aura emanating from his body receded. An Ancient Defender wasn’t just any typical class. It was a class that triggered one of the Hidden Attributes—Will—just by successfully changing.
Why? Because Will was the basis of the entire class.
Will, in short, refers to the soul’s ability to withstand pressure, whether tangible or intangible. Another way to interpret it was the solidity of one’s soul. Will possessed three facets: physical, mental, and spiritual.
Each aspect held a vital role that would become apparent to everyone in the future.
All three facets served as the basis of an Ancient Defender.
Like how Kieran’s skills depended on Blood Mania, every skill in Bastion’s arsenal now relied upon his new Class Unique Passive—Indomitable Pure Will.

Kieran punched Bastion abruptly, but something strange occurred. Kieran’s fist was stopped by the Willpower spilling off Bastion’s body. The Willpower adopted the shape of a large shield as Bastion lifted it above his head without moving his legs.

“I felt that from over here,” Nemean said grimly. The force from Kieran’s punch had traveled quite far, so everyone understood a frightening amount of Strength fueled that attack.
“Yeah, Bastion’s Defense has become no joke. If he can handle Aatrox’s punch with that strange crimson technique, I doubt many players of the same level can penetrate his defenses,” Altair commented.
Luna’s eyes glistened while watching Kieran deliver an onslaught to no avail. Bastion defended against every strike properly. Though Bastion lost Health, there was little to no effect on his body.
“What did you experience during your class change?”
“Galvan called it a Will Awakening and Will Refinement,” Bastion answered.
“It has produced incredible results. Not just in your defenses but in your demeanor as well. I can feel it—genuine confidence radiating from your inner self. I don’t know what means your instructor employed, but they are remarkable.”
Kieran soon stopped because he only wished to tes
