I'm Already Invulnerable, I Want to Play DPS.

---

Tianfu High School, Teacher's Office.

"Su Mo, it's been three days since the awakening, and yet you still haven't joined a single team. There's only one week left before the college entrance exams begin. This is the most important step in determining your future!"

A middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, earnestly tried to persuade the young man in a school uniform sitting before him.

Su Mo raised his head, looking at Teacher Wang with a serious expression, and said, "Teacher, I want to be a damage dealer."

"Nonsense!"

Teacher Wang slammed the table, pointing at Su Mo's nose as he scolded him directly:

"You, someone who awakened a pure defensive talent, want to be a damage dealer? If that's not nonsense, then what is?

Do you even realize how great your awakened talent is? So many people dream their entire lives of awakening a talent like yours and never get it.

And now you're telling me you want to be a damage dealer? What on earth are you thinking!"

Su Mo shook his head, his face still full of determination as he looked at Teacher Wang and said again, "But this is my dream."

"Dreams? Dreams are worthless! Let me tell you, in this world, the most useless thing is a dream.

If you have talent, you should cherish it. With a talent like yours, getting into the top-tier University wouldn't even be a problem.

If you develop well in the future, our school might even take pride in you."

Teacher Wang pointed at Su Mo's nose, his tone heavy, spit practically flying onto his face.

Su Mo knew Teacher Wang meant well. After all, when he first awakened, he had only unlocked a high-level defensive talent called "Extreme Defense".

It could block and nullify all damage for a short period of time.

But after sleeping that night, his talent had evolved into a unique-tier talent: "Absolute Defense".

This ability came with no extra explanation—it simply meant true invulnerability to all damage, an unbeatable defense.

Not only that, he had also awakened another growth-type talent.

Heart of Slaughter: For every enemy you kill, you gain free attribute points.

The stronger the enemy killed, the more attribute points gained, with no upper limit!

Although Absolute Defense was already incredible, this growth-type ability was no less impressive.

As long as he nurtured this ability, he could eventually possess not only the strongest defense but also the most powerful offense.

Su Mo didn't argue with the well-meaning Teacher Wang. Instead, he nodded and said, "Alright, Teacher, I understand."

Teacher Wang smiled and nodded back. "Go on, then. Find your teammates. I hope to see you perform heroically in the college entrance exam tournament."

Su Mo nodded, gave a quick acknowledgment, and left the teacher's office.

But as he stepped out, he didn't follow Teacher Wang's expectations of searching for teammates.

Instead, he walked straight out of the school and headed to a weapon shop.

It had only been three days since his awakening. In fact, on the very first day, he had already visited the school's trial dungeon under a teacher's guidance.

Unfortunately, back then, his Extreme Defense talent had made him nothing more than a punching bag, offering no damage boosts against monsters.

Even against the weakest goblin, he had fought for half a day.

And even then, he had only managed to severely wound it, not kill it outright.

Initially, he had genuinely planned to join a team as a tank.

But after his talent upgraded the next day, that thought vanished entirely.

Instead, he had gone straight out that morning to order a custom weapon.

And today, his weapon was finally ready.

A team? Teammates?

Sorry, but after his talent evolved, he had never once considered needing them.

Absolute Defense meant he would never take damage.

Heart of Slaughter allowed his power to grow infinitely.

Teaming up with others would not only freak them out but also distract him when they got into danger.

So, the best choice was to become a lone wolf.

…

"The Guandao you ordered is finished. Do you want us to deliver it for you?"

"No need, I'll take it myself."

Su Mo walked over, paid the remaining balance, and watched as two shop assistants carried out a massive Guandao nearly two meters long.

The Guandao was 1.8 meters in length, matching his height perfectly. The blade was 40 centimeters long, with the rest being a sturdy handle.

Aside from the blade, the entire weapon was pitch black, exuding a sense of solidity and weight.

And it needed that weight to match his 60-plus kilograms of strength.

Originally, he had considered crafting a machete. While it would've been handy for chopping, it wasn't exactly elegant.

Plus, a machete was too light—he'd wear it out quickly and have to replace it, which would just be a waste of money.

A Guandao, on the other hand, was different. It had the perfect balance of weight and power, exuded an aura of dominance, and looked impressive when wielded.

It was ideal for slaying monsters without any hassle—a perfect match for him.

Su Mo gripped the handle with both hands, braced himself, and with a powerful heave, hoisted the 60-plus-kilogram Guandao onto his shoulder.

Then, under everyone's stunned gazes, he walked back to school.

Showing off like this felt great in the moment—and the more he did it, the better it felt.

Sure, when he had hefted the 60-plus-kilogram Guandao onto his shoulder in one smooth motion and strutted back to school, he looked undeniably cool.

He had originally planned to just show off a bit, find a spot to rest after returning to school, and then head to the trial dungeon.

But the moment he stepped back onto campus, a crowd of people started pointing and whispering about him.

Several junior girls even cast admiring glances his way.

So, he ended up carrying the 60-plus-kilogram Guandao across half the campus to the entrance of the trial realm.

As soon as he arrived, he set the Guandao down, stabbing it into the ground with a loud bang. The concrete trembled slightly beneath it.

The surrounding students all turned to him with looks of shock.

Just then, a man in a white robe with a blood-red longsword strapped to his back approached. He looked at Su Mo with an arrogant expression and said:

"You're Su Mo, right? I'm Zhang Qi from Class 3 of Senior Year. I awakened a high-burst Divine Blade profession.

I'm the only one in this batch of awakeners with a high-tier profession. So, how about it? Join me!"

Su Mo glanced at him. Initially, he was a bit curious that the guy was a profession awakener.

But after seeing that smug look, he shook his head and said, "Sorry, I'm not planning to team up right now."

With that, he ignored the guy and walked straight into the trial realm entrance.

Not only had he never intended to team up, but even if he did, he wouldn't team up with someone like that.

Awakenings came in two types: ability awakenings, like Su Mo's, and profession awakenings, like this guy's.

Ability awakeners were stronger early on—the better the ability, the stronger they were at the start. Profession awakeners were the opposite.

Watching Su Mo enter the trial dungeon, Zhang Qi's face darkened instantly.

He was the only student in this batch to awaken a high-tier damage-dealing profession.

Countless defensive awakeners had begged to team up with him, and he had turned them all down.

Yet today, he had swallowed his pride to invite Su Mo—and got rejected.

His arrogant ego took an immediate hit.

Meanwhile, the surrounding students began to murmur.

"Whoa, he's actually going into the trial realm alone?"
