The two looked up and saw a rather large pet dog frantically chasing and biting a five or six-year-old boy.

The little boy ran away in terror, but fell down because of his fear.

The vicious dog immediately pounced and tore at his thigh, instantly staining his trouser leg with blood, accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream.

Li Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he prepared to make a move.

However, Lu Jiayin was faster, drawing her gun and aiming immediately.

Just then, a middle-aged woman with curly hair and brightly colored clothes squeezed out from the crowd.

The other person was probably the dog owner; she shouted anxiously, "Baby, stop making a fuss, come back quickly..."

Upon hearing its owner's voice, the dog immediately bit even more fiercely.

Lu Jiayin's eyes turned cold, and without further hesitation, she pulled the trigger.

With a loud "bang," the bullet pierced the dog's head precisely.

The vicious dog fell to the ground, and its jaws loosened their grip on the little boy's thigh.

The incident happened so suddenly that everyone around was startled and turned to look at them, falling silent except for the little boy's heart-wrenching cries.

The people around were stunned for a few seconds, then rushed over to help.

At the same time, the middle-aged woman froze for a moment, then let out a piercing scream: "Ah! My baby! You killed my baby!!"

She rushed forward, hugged the dog's corpse, and burst into tears, pointing at Lu Jiayin and yelling, "How dare you kill my dog! It was just playing with the child! You owe me my dog! This dog was my son! You owe me!"

Her voice was shrill and sharp, her expression distorted, as if the person who died was truly her loved one.

Lu Jiayin frowned slightly, seemingly unaccustomed to such a situation.

Someone nearby, unable to bear the sight, spoke up and criticized, "Your dog bit the child like this; if they hadn't shot, the child's leg would have been bitten off!"

The woman whirled around and screamed at the person who had spoken: "So what if he bit me? He didn't die! Babies have delicate skin and recover quickly. My baby was alive! You heartless executioners!"

She became increasingly agitated as she spoke, suddenly putting down the dog's carcass and lunging at Lu Jiayin, baring her teeth and claws while shouting insults: "You murderer! I'm calling the police to arrest you! You'll be paying fines and going to jail!"

She was clearly convinced that Lu Jiayin wouldn't dare shoot her.

Lu Jiayin frowned and backed away, unsure of how to handle the situation.

Seeing the woman relentlessly lunging at him, Li Yuan couldn't stand it any longer and slapped her with a stick.

With a "bang," the middle-aged woman screamed and flew through the air, landing on the ground completely stunned.

Holy crap!

Everyone was startled by the sudden blow and stared at Li Yuan in disbelief.

How much strength does it take to send someone flying with a single blow?

In fact, Li Yuan was still holding back; he only knocked the opponent away, and at most the opponent suffered a broken shoulder.

Otherwise, with his current strength, he could easily crush an ordinary person with a single blow.

Lu Jiayin also looked at Li Yuan in surprise, clearly not expecting him to make a sudden move.

Li Yuan, who had just put away the bamboo stick, twitched his brow slightly, because he discovered that the solidification progress of the [Equivalent Evolution] attribute had increased by another one percent.

Clearly, the action just now was judged as "punishing evil and eliminating wickedness".

At this moment, the child's parents finally squeezed through the crowd and saw the child's bloody wound. The mother almost fainted on the spot.

The child's father, with red eyes, picked up the child and rushed to the hospital, not even bothering to argue with the woman.

Li Yuan was about to go and help when he discovered that the other party had already driven away, and some kind-hearted people escorted them in their private cars.

He had no choice but to stop and look at Lu Jiayin: "Will I get into trouble for hitting someone like this?"

Although he was asking a question, there was no trace of panic in his eyes.

He felt no remorse whatsoever for beating such a wicked person.

"I can vouch for you... Why don't you just go to the Armed Forces Department and take the exorcist exam?"

Lu Jiayin said, "During this special period, with the identity of an exorcist, there won't be any trouble at all for something as justified as you. Leave this to me."

"And this thing?" Li Yuan held up the dark green bead.

"A Yang Yuan Fruit or an equivalent treasure to enhance my strength will do, considering your help just now. But you have to compensate me an extra million," Lu Jiayin said through gritted teeth.

Her original bottom line was four Yang Yuan Fruits, but the grade of that bead did not meet her expectations.

"Okay, then it's mine."

Li Yuan smiled slightly: "I will give you the things later, but it may take a little while."

Almost the instant the transaction was completed, he was able to see the complete information about the bead.

[Permanent fixation condition: Remain in the forest for 100 hours while the equipment is in its original state.]

"Spend a hundred hours in the forest?" He raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It's yours." Lu Jiayin was quite decisive, handing over the box containing the beads.

"Then I'll leave things here to you. I'll go directly to the Armed Forces Department."

Li Yuan took the box, put the beads in his pocket, and then walked away into the distance.

As he passed by the pet dog that had been shot, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Because the pet dog's fangs were abnormally sharp, and its limbs were noticeably thicker than those of a normal dog.

Upon seeing this, he frowned slightly, continued walking, but immediately sent a message to Lu Jiayin via WeChat: "The pet dog has probably mutated. This might not be an isolated case. I think you should report this to your superiors."

Upon receiving the message, Lu Jiayin's expression changed slightly. Without regard for the situation on the ground, she quickly reported the news.

This matter may seem unimportant, but if this pet dog is not an exception, then there is a big problem.

"Aaaaaah... Damn it... Is there no justice? Is there no law?!"

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman's bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, came from behind. She seemed to finally snap out of it, pointing at Li Yuan's retreating figure and cursing, "You little bastard, you just wait..."

Li Yuan's eyes turned cold. He turned around, grabbed the lamppost next to him, and pulled hard, tearing off a piece of iron and flicking it away.

"puff……"

The fleeting piece of metal pierced the middle-aged woman's mouth.

The pig-like screams and curses stopped abruptly, and blood splattered all over her face.

Everyone around was startled again.

When they saw the notch in the middle-aged woman's mouth, they were shocked, frightened, but also felt a sense of relief.

Li Yuan didn't linger; he hailed a taxi and headed towards the Armed Forces Department.

However, the taxi had not gone far when the shrill wailing of a middle-aged woman came from behind again.

The other person was still cursing him in a lousy voice, wishing him a terrible death and calling him a little bastard.

"Seriously... there are all kinds of people in the world! Looks like next time I encounter a villain like that, I'd better just beat them to death!"

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. He didn't go back, but he hoped the other person would pray they never saw him again.

About ten minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the armed forces department.

Li Yuan paid the fare and got out of the car. He immediately saw a notice posted at the entrance of the armed forces department.

The notice stated that martial artists from the general public could come here to be assessed as exorcists.

It's clear that this matter has already begun to spread.

However, due to the tight schedule, the Exorcist Association's own address has not yet been determined, so they are temporarily using the Armed Forces Department's building.

The guard at the gate was clearly no ordinary person. Sensing Li Yuan's presence, he strode over and asked, "Comrade, are you here to take the exorcist exam?"

"That's right." Li Yuan nodded.

"Come with me."

The guards led Li Yuan directly into the armed forces department.

Li Yuan immediately followed.

However, the moment he entered the gate, he paused, turned his head to look at the guardhouse next to him, and sensed an aura inside that was no weaker than his own.

Are the security guards all that good? Or is it just a coincidence?

The thought flashed through his mind, and he didn't waste any time, continuing to follow the guards ahead.

The situation inside the armed forces department was somewhat different from what he had imagined, as there were actually many people training there.

However, the drills didn't resemble military formations; they were more like martial arts practice.

"Could this be how others become stronger?" he mused.

After passing the group of armed personnel who were practicing martial arts, we walked for a few more minutes.

Finally, they arrived at the innermost building.

To Li Yuan's surprise, there were more than a dozen people here whose auras were no weaker than Lu Jiayin's.

However, these people were dressed very plainly, so they were probably like him, preparing to take the exam to become exorcists.

Judging from the guard's earlier reaction, he was definitely not the first one to arrive.

"Another one?"

The middle-aged man in charge of registration glanced at Li Yuan: "Just about to leave, hurry up and tell me your name. Oh, and did you bring your ID card?"
