Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

His gaze locked onto the giant bear's chest, where there was a white spot—his heart. If he could just inflict a penetrating wound on that spot...

Then the giant bear would surely die.

Thinking this, Xu Yao leaped several times, landing on the giant bear's chest, and thrust his sword into the bear's chest. At that moment, the giant bear...

With an angry howl, his eyes were fixed on Xu Yao's movements, and he slapped Xu Yao hard across the face.

Seeing this, Xu Yao immediately abandoned his attack and jumped up to dodge the giant bear's slap.

At that moment, the giant bear slapped its chest with both paws and immediately let out an even more miserable cry.

With those two slaps, the giant-chested man's body emitted a cracking sound as his bones shattered, his chest collapsed, and he coughed up a large amount of blood.

Upon seeing this scene, Xu Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud. Are all giant bears this stupid?

So the longsword was knocked away by the giant bear's paw. However, this action, which didn't harm the enemy but instead caused Zhong Chuan to fall over, was simply hilarious.

Thinking this, Xu Yao landed on the ground and quickly grabbed the longsword. After grabbing the sword, he charged at the giant bear again.

At this moment, the giant bear had lost all ability to resist. Its slap had left it on the verge of death, and it could only watch in despair as Xu Yao landed on its chest.

Moreover, he thrust the longsword in his hand into his chest.

As blood gushed out like a fountain, the giant bear let out a wail and died on the spot.

After finishing all this, Xu Yao wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at the surrounding monster corpses, and exhaled a breath of stale air.

In this way, he had killed all the magical beasts. All he had to do was find an exit to leave this place, and then his longsword and Foundation Establishment Pill would be his.

Just then, two more people rushed in through the door Xu Yao had entered earlier. These two people were none other than the middle-aged man and the boy named Zhao Long.

These two men are eyeing Xu Yao with predatory intent. Although it's true that they can't believe it, they are also showing signs of greed.

"I never expected that this guy, whose strength is only at the first level of Qi Refining, could do something like this. Not only did he get here before us, but he also managed to kill these magical beasts. It's really scary."

Upon hearing Zhao Long's words, the middle-aged man beside him nodded silently and let out a sigh.

"That's right, it's truly astonishing. He's clearly only at the first level of Qi Refining, yet he possesses such amazing combat power."

But I think this guy has reached his limit.

Zhao Long, who was standing to the side, also nodded in agreement.

"That's natural. I said before, who can be faster than us? This guy must have mastered some secret technique to be able to get here before us."

Now his strength has probably been completely exhausted by these magical beasts, making him easy prey for us to catch.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man could no longer contain the greed in his eyes. His fists made a series of explosive sounds as he tried to rush towards Xu Yao and snatch the longsword and the five Foundation Establishment Pills from Xu Yao's hand.

Upon seeing the two people who had arrived, Xu Yao frowned slightly and spoke to them.

“I say, this is the disciple entrance examination, you two can’t do anything shady. Since I arrived first and I killed these magical beasts, this longsword and five Foundation Establishment Pills should rightfully be mine.”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man let out a disdainful snort.

"So what you're trying to say is that the rules of the previous competition were clearly stated: only the first person to leave from here can obtain the longsword and the Foundation Establishment Pill."

You haven't even left this cave yet, so where do you get the audacity to claim you're number one? Besides, the rules don't say disciples can't fight each other.

To win first place, fighting you won't cost me anything, so why should I be afraid?

Hearing this, Xu Yao shook his head helplessly.

Sure enough, under the lure of huge profits, anyone would be tempted to take action. Although he had anticipated this outcome, he still found it somewhat troublesome, given that these two individuals were quite formidable.

"So, it seems like a fight is unavoidable?"

"Heh, then tell me your reason for not fighting you. Are you really willing to hand over your longsword and Foundation Establishment Pill? I think that's impossible, right?"

The middle-aged man who spoke these words to Xu Yao glanced at Zhao Long beside him and then spoke to Zhao Long.

"Kid, I'll go first. Whoever kills Xu Yao first gets Xu Yao's longsword and Foundation Establishment Pill, how about it?"

Before Zhao Long could react to these words, the middle-aged man rushed towards Xu Yao. Zhao Long was in a great hurry.

He shouted angrily at the middle-aged man.

"You bastard, you actually beat me to it! Who's going to agree to that? Xu Yao is mine!"

He was about to rush forward after saying that, but Zhao Long suddenly realized something and stopped.

Isn't this a good thing? After all, this middle-aged man has been blinded by the profits in front of him. Let him do it if he wants, if he kills Xu Yao.

Then he wouldn't be able to get the longsword and the Foundation Establishment Pill either, since he still has himself here. Once he arrives, he will definitely lose a lot of physical and spiritual energy because of Xu Yao.

Then I can do it myself, like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Moreover, if he were no match for Xu Yao and was instead killed by Xu Yao, he could ridicule this middle-aged man and show him just how ignorant he was of the times and how much he really had to offer.

Moreover, due to the middle-aged man's exertion on Xu Yao, Xu Yao's combat power will be further weakened.

This would make it much easier for him to kill Xu Yao. In general, regardless of the outcome, as long as this middle-aged man dares to rush forward before him, he will be the one who ultimately benefits.

Thinking about all this, the guy named Zhao Long couldn't help but laugh with schadenfreude.

His eyes were filled with malice as he watched the fight between Xu Yao and the middle-aged man with great interest, wanting to see which side would emerge victorious.

"You middle-aged bachelor, let me see what you're really made of."
