After being hit, Tang Yu didn’t waste any time talking.
He immediately swung a hammer back, aiming straight for the head.
Unlike Tang Yu, who had incredible defense, these guys couldn’t take a hit like that. One hammer to the head, and they were half-dead.
The hallway to the restroom wasn’t wide enough for them to take advantage of their numbers.
It was like the zombies in *Plants vs. Zombies*, lining up one by one to get crushed.
The other two who tried to stall Bai Wanyi didn’t fare much better.
They didn’t dare to lay a hand on her.
But Bai Wanyi had no such reservations.
She had always despised scum like them, and being half-trained in martial arts, she didn’t hold back.
In less than two minutes, both of them were on the ground, having taken several cuts.
The situation quickly turned awkward.
One guy they couldn’t hurt.
One girl they couldn’t touch.
Out of the thirty-something men, more than a dozen were already lying on the floor within minutes.
“What the hell is going on?”
“How the f*** should I know?”
“What’s up with this guy? Why can’t we hurt him?”
The group of thugs cursed as they fought.
This wasn’t how it was supposed to go!
They were supposed to easily take down this pretty boy, tie up the girl, and call it a day.
But seeing their comrades fall one after another, the thugs were completely baffled.
What the hell? How do you fight someone who’s basically cheating?
“From now on, this casino belongs to Tang Yu!”
Tang Yu was thoroughly enjoying himself, reveling in the thrill of dominating the fight.
Hell yeah, I’ve got invincibility!
Seeing that these guys were too scared to touch Bai Wanyi, Tang Yu grabbed two knives and charged at them.
You bastards, today I’m gonna teach you how to be proper villains.
After a few more went down, the thugs completely lost their nerve.
“Screw this, let’s get out of here!”
“I’m done with this crap.”
“This guy’s insane.”
“I’m out.”
As the remaining thugs started fleeing in disarray, the casino patrons were left stunned.
Just moments ago, a group of thugs had been chasing this guy with murderous intent.
Now, here he was, covered in blood, chasing them down with knives in hand.
Just as Tang Yu was about to go after one of them, Bai Wanyi rushed over and grabbed him.
“Stop it! You’re bleeding!”
Bai Wanyi’s voice trembled with fear, on the verge of tears.
She had seen Tang Yu take hit after hit, and now he was covered in blood.
She was filled with regret, wishing she hadn’t brought him along and put him in danger.
If it weren’t for protecting her, he wouldn’t have gotten hurt.
“I’m fine,” Tang Yu said with a bitter smile, seeing how scared Bai Wanyi was.
“You’re not fine! You’ve been hit so many times. Let me check where you’re hurt.”
Bai Wanyi pulled up Tang Yu’s shirt to inspect his body.
After feeling around and finding no wounds, she reached for his pants.
“Whoa, I’m really fine! Stop it, everyone’s watching!”
Tang Yu quickly grabbed her hand to stop her from going any further.
At that moment, a system notification chimed in his mind.
“Ding! Congratulations, host, for surviving the casino arc. Reward: *Fist of Verbal Command* (usable five times).”
Hearing the notification, Tang Yu’s face darkened as he cursed inwardly.
“Damn system, you’re at it again!”
Lately, he’d noticed the system was acting stranger and stranger. The plot was falling apart, and now the rewards were getting ridiculous. It almost felt like the system wanted him dead.
The two one-time ancient martial arts rewards he’d gotten earlier?
If he hadn’t used them wisely, he’d have been killed by that bastard Ye Chen!
And now this *Fist of Verbal Command*? It wasn’t even an ancient martial art.
According to the system, the damage depended on what you shouted while punching.
What kind of nonsense is that?
A gut feeling told him this damn system might not be on his side.
While Tang Yu was stewing over this, in the surveillance room, Lu Junzhuo’s face was as dark as ink.
What the hell is going on?
Thirty men, and they can’t even handle one rich kid?
Even a Yellow Realm ancient martial artist would have trouble against so many armed men!
“Are your men completely useless?”
Frustrated, Lu Junzhuo glared at Zhu Shaohui.
He had set this whole thing up to play the hero, save the girl, and get rid of Tang Yu in one fell swoop.
And now this?
“I… I don’t know what happened,” Zhu Shaohui stammered, equally baffled.
Is this guy on the same level as Lu Junzhuo? Some kind of monster?
“I’ll handle it myself.”
Lu Junzhuo stormed out, his face dark with anger.
As he walked out, his body twisted, and a series of cracking sounds echoed like popping beans.
In an instant, he seemed to shrink, his posture hunched, transforming into a middle-aged man with a stooped back.
After using bone-shrinking to alter his physique, he pulled out a human skin mask from his pocket and put it on.
Just like that, he had assumed a completely new identity!
He would use this identity to kill Tang Yu, then let the remaining thugs deal with Bai Wanyi.
Once Bai Wanyi was captured, he would revert to his original form and swoop in as the hero to save her!
As he took the elevator down to the casino floor, he arrived just in time to see one of the thugs sneak up behind Tang Yu and slash him across the back with a knife.
After this strike, not even the clothes were torn.
As a peak expert of the Mystic Realm, Lu Junzhuo quickly realized something.
Tang Yu was protected by an invisible aura.
"Is this the *Immovable Wisdom King Technique*?"
Lu Junzhuo narrowed his eyes. After inheriting ancient martial arts knowledge from the Dragon Pattern Jade, he had learned many things.
For example, the *Immovable Wisdom King Technique* was a long-lost ancient martial art.
Its defensive capabilities were unparalleled!
It was said that once mastered to perfection, no one below the Mystic Realm could break through its defense!
But he was at the peak of the Mystic Realm!
Even with the *Immovable Wisdom King Technique* protecting him, killing Tang Yu wouldn’t be much of a challenge.
He took a deep breath, and the true energy within him surged. Like a leopard, he lunged at Tang Yu.
A blur of movement rushed toward Tang Yu.
By the time Tang Yu regained his senses, Lu Junzhuo had already kicked him in the chest!
The force of the kick sent Tang Yu stumbling back several steps, and a sharp pain spread through his chest.
The pain left Tang Yu stunned.
His *Immovable Wisdom King Technique* was on the verge of being broken?
He felt the flow of energy within him diminish significantly.
Once this energy completely dissipated, he would lose the protection of the *Immovable Wisdom King Technique*.
He glanced at the man attacking him—a middle-aged hunchback.
"What does it matter if you’ve mastered the *Immovable Wisdom King Technique* to perfection? You’re still a waste!"
Lu Junzhuo sneered at Tang Yu, his voice deliberately low and grating.
At that moment, Bai Wanyi reacted.
She swung the watermelon knife in her hand at Lu Junzhuo's back, attempting a sneak attack.
But Lu Junzhuo didn’t even turn around, as if he had eyes on the back of his head. With two fingers, he caught the descending blade.
Then, with a slight exertion of his fingers, the watermelon knife snapped in two!
Seeing this, Tang Yu immediately confirmed the man’s identity.
[Damn it, it really is Lu Junzhuo.]
[This guy loves to show off; he used a similar trick when he first appeared.]
[Disguising himself and altering his bones is also one of his specialties. As expected, now that Ye Chen is gone, he’s the one who showed up.]
Bai Wanyi, however, had no time to listen to Tang Yu’s thoughts.
Seeing Lu Junzhuo catch the knife with two fingers and then break it, she immediately aimed a kick at his groin.
But just as her foot was about to connect, Lu Junzhuo vanished from his spot.
Before Bai Wanyi could react, a hand chop struck her neck, knocking her out cold.
With Bai Wanyi dealt with, Lu Junzhuo turned his gaze back to Tang Yu.
Today, this man would surely die!
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation.

Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it.
