Unbreakable and Unstoppable

"You... you actually dared to hit me?"

Lin Man'er clutched her face, her hair disheveled, a bright red palm print standing out starkly on her fair cheek.

She stared at Lu Yuan in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock and humiliation.

"I hit you because you deserved it."

Lu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze indifferent.

"Lin Man'er, I may have liked you in the past, but now, you are no different from a dog in my eyes."

"I can play along with you when I'm in the mood, but if you dare to push your luck, don't blame me for slaughtering you."

Lin Man'er stood frozen in place, stunned that Lu Yuan could be so vicious toward her.

A strong sense of unreality welled up from the bottom of her heart.

Her lips trembled, and she couldn't speak for a long time, feeling as though the man before her had suddenly become a total stranger.

Where had the Lu Yuan who obeyed her every word and didn't even dare to speak harshly to her gone?

She took a deep breath, her expression looking incredibly ugly.

"Fine... very fine! Do you think you can join the Demon Suppression Bureau without handing over the quota?"

"Lu Yuan, as long as you dare to go to the County Office, my brother will definitely beat you into a cripple."

Her words were filled with threats.

Lu Yuan didn't care in the slightest and turned to walk out the door.

His thoughts were simple: go to the County Office to collect the Direct Promotion Token.

If this were before, he would have considered the matter carefully.

After all, his aptitude was mediocre, and joining the Demon Suppression Bureau was a life-threatening job; there was no telling when he might die under the claws of a demon.

But now that he had awakened the Entry Lottery System, and could only draw prizes by slaying demons, he was determined to join the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Walking down the street, he opened the system interface.

[A red entry is currently available for drawing. Would you like to draw?]

"Draw!"

With a flick of his mind, countless red specks of light appeared in his field of vision, flowing around him like a waterfall of light.

A moment later, one red entry stopped in front of him.

[You have drawn the red entry: Heaven Opener]

[Heaven Opener: Indestructible, pierces through all things]

Entries were graded by color, divided into six tiers: white, green, blue, purple, gold, and red.

White entries were the lowest grade and could be upgraded through synthesis.

Three identical entries or six different entries could be synthesized into one higher-grade entry.

What Lu Yuan hadn't expected was that the system was truly top-tier, gifting him a red entry right at the start.

Heaven Opener was an ancient legend from his previous life.

Pangu was trapped in chaos, with no directions and no passage of time.

Thus, he used a giant axe to shatter the chaos, destroy the cage, and forcefully open the heavens.

After binding the entry, an ultimate power capable of piercing through anything flooded his limbs and bones.

At this moment, every movement he made could unleash a heavy blow capable of destroying all things.

As for just how powerful this strength was, he would have to find an opportunity to test it.

Anyun County Office.

Lin Chen was dressed in a black martial outfit, waiting anxiously at the entrance of the office.

Ever since the news of the Demon Suppression Bureau selecting new blood had spread, he had been restless.

Having practiced martial arts for five years, he knew better than anyone what kind of opportunity this was.

As long as he could join the Demon Suppression Bureau, silver and spiritual medicine went without saying; if he were lucky enough to learn a few genuine Demon Slaying Arts, he would completely turn his life around.

He was currently at the fifth level of the Mortal Realm and was a well-known expert in Yun'an County, yet he had to participate in the selection process and pass through layers of trials alongside those mediocre talents.

And Lu Yuan, who had to do nothing, already had a direct promotion quota.

Why?

Was this fair?

But then he thought about it: for the past few years, Lu Yuan had been completely under Lin Man'er's thumb, spending money like water without a single complaint.

What if he could make him give up the quota?

The more Lin Chen thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, so he had sent Lin Man'er to find Lu Yuan.

He believed that as long as Lin Man'er spoke up, Lu Yuan would surely be willing to hand over the quota.

Once the Direct Promotion Token falls into his hands, wouldn't joining the Demon Suppression Bureau be as easy as pie?

Just then, a handsome young man dressed in black official robes walked over from the distance.

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, a flash of excitement crossing his face as he hurried over to block Lu Yuan's path.

"You've come at the right time. My sister must have told you, right? Once you collect the Direct Promotion Token later, hand it over to me immediately."

He said it so casually, as if he were giving orders to a servant.

Lu Yuan was so amused he laughed; you're just standing there and you expect to be fed?

He swept his gaze over Lin Chen with a look of disdain, "Why on earth should I give the token to you?"

Lin Chen's expression stiffened, and the excitement on his face faded slightly.

"What? Didn't my sister make it clear to you?"

"She made it clear."

"Then that's that."

"I don't agree."

"You..."

Lin Chen's face darkened instantly, his brows knitting together tightly.

He didn't agree?

For the past few years, Lu Yuan had treated Lin Man'er like a precious treasure, agreeing to every single request she made.

If she wanted money, he gave money; if she wanted effort, he gave effort.

How could he possibly disagree?

"Lu Yuan, did you take the wrong medicine? You're not even listening to my sister anymore?"

"I'm telling you, go get that Direct Promotion Token right now and bring it to me, or my sister won't give you a pleasant look ever again!"

"You want me to deliver the token to you?" A smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face, "I think you've lost track of who's who."

Lu Yuan wasn't about to coddle him.

His right arm exerted force suddenly, and he threw a heavy punch.

The savage power, wrapped in a gust of wind, slammed fiercely into Lin Chen.

The speed was so great that he had no time to react.

With a dull thud, Lin Chen was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

The center of his chest was torn open, a gruesome, sunken fist mark visible, and who knew how many ribs had been shattered.

Lu Yuan withdrew his hand, his eyes indifferent, "You think you're worthy of joining the Demon Suppression Bureau? Stop embarrassing yourself."

"Xiao Chen—"

A heart-wrenching cry rang out.

Lin Man'er arrived just in time to witness the scene.

In that moment, she felt as if her world had collapsed.

Her brother, whom she was so proud of, had actually been defeated by Lu Yuan?

How could this be possible!

She rushed forward to help Lin Chen up, her face turning deathly pale when she saw the injury on his chest.

Lin Chen had apprenticed under the Old Head Constable, and his hard-body training had already reached the fifth level of the Mortal Realm; ordinary blades couldn't even break through his protective qi.

Yet, Lu Yuan had caused such severe injuries with just a casual punch?

With Lin Chen's physique, even if he were wounded by a blade, he could stop the bleeding in moments using his own recovery ability.

But now, the fist mark on his chest was a bruised purple-black, and the torn flesh was still bleeding profusely, unable to stop.

Even though Lin Man'er didn't practice martial arts, she could see that the punch was too heavy; it hadn't just damaged his skin and bones, it had scattered his very lifeblood.

Lin Man'er turned her head, her eyes filled with malice, "If you didn't want to give up the spot, then don't, but why did you have to hurt my brother?"

Lu Yuan sneered, "This martial arts skill of his—wasn't it all piled up using my silver?"

"Five years, over a hundred taels—the apprenticeship fees, the holiday tributes, the medicinal herbs for his qi and blood, the meat for his strength, the protective gear, the trauma salves..."

"I was just collecting a bit of interest, is that too much to ask?"

With every item Lu Yuan listed, Lin Man'er's face grew uglier.

Not to mention his martial arts training, even the clothes on Lin Chen's back from head to toe were bought with Lu Yuan's silver.

"You..."

Lin Man'er took a step back, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Lu Yuan, you've changed. You never used to talk to me like this."

"That silver was all given voluntarily by you; where does this talk of interest come from?"

"He is my only younger brother, and you injured him. You are the one in the wrong, Lu Yuan!"

Lu Yuan's eyes held a playful glint, and a cold sneer curled the corners of his mouth.

"Yes, I am the one in the wrong. And then what?"

"I hit your brother today. What are you going to do about it?"

Lin Man'er's body trembled as she looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief. The man who once wouldn't even dare to speak a harsh word to her had become so unfamiliar in this moment.

What could she do?

That was right, there was nothing she could do.

The slap from earlier was still throbbing with pain; if she went up there now, her fate would surely be even more miserable than Lin Chen's.

"Lu Yuan, I never expected you to be this kind of person. You have disappointed me so much!"
