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

"No way, brother, are you kidding me? I just wanted to eat, and besides, I didn't cause any big trouble. You just slipped and fell, and I've already apologized to you. You can't be so unforgiving."

"Shut up! Do you think your apology is sincere enough?"

Hearing this, Xu Yao shook his head helplessly.

"So, brother, what exactly do you want?"

"Hmph, you think you can make up for my losses with just one meal? Dream on!"

The burly man stared at Xu Yao with malice.

His eyes darted around, and he already harbored evil intentions towards Xu Yao.

Judging from Xu Yao's appearance, he is clearly a newly arrived disciple.

These newly arrived disciples are the easiest to bully.

Now that he holds the power, so what if he's unreasonable and unforgiving? He's determined to extract a lot of benefits from Xu Yao today.

Thinking this, the burly man gave Xu Yao a disgruntled laugh, then stretched out his fingers and rubbed them against Xu Yao a few times.

"It's not impossible to get compensation. How about this: if you're willing to pay for my meals for a year, I'll let you go. What do you say?"

"What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao couldn't help but frown slightly.

Was the man in front of me joking?

He also knew a little about the Qingyun Sect. The amount of money allocated to food each year was not much, only enough to buy some daily food.

However, the sect does assign tasks, and if you complete them, you'll receive money depending on the difficulty of the task.

However, if there were no missions, Xu Yao would probably have to live frugally for two years just to be able to treat this man to a meal for a year.

Besides, with pills one can go without eating or drinking, but without pills one can't.

After all, given his current cultivation level, it's impossible for him to survive without food and water.

The burly man in front of me is clearly setting me up.

Therefore, Xu Yao immediately spoke to the man.

"I'm saying, don't you think what you're saying right now is extortion?"

"Heh, extortion? Kid, don't push your luck."

After saying this, the burly man waved his fist at Xu Yao, looking like he was about to give Xu Yao a good beating.

"Kid, I'm going to tell you the ugly truth right now and make sure you understand the situation. Whether you listen or not is up to you."

As he spoke, the man held up two fingers to Xu Yao.

"My first choice is to do as I say. I won't bother you otherwise. Maybe I'll be in a good mood one day and do you a small favor."

"But if you don't listen and insist on choosing the second option to refuse me, as repayment, I'll teach you a lesson right now. And in the future, I'll also cause you trouble from time to time. Let's see if you can handle the trouble I cause."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao frowned.

"Good heavens, what a disgusting man. Just looking at this man's face makes him want to vomit."

However, judging from this man's aura, his strength is clearly not that great. He's just like that, isn't he? What's so scary about him?

Thinking this, Xu Yao gave the man a meaningful smile.

"Hey bro, you're not planning to mess with me, are you?"

"So what?"

"But I don't seem to be afraid of you."

After all, the man in front of them only had the strength of the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Judging from his appearance, he's not young anymore, yet he only possesses the strength of Zhao Long and a middle-aged man.

To put it bluntly, this kind of person is the kind of guy who accomplishes nothing.

Upon hearing this, the man felt a surge of anger.

"You bastard! How dare you provoke me? You'd better understand your current position and situation!"

Xu Yao laughed: "I'm quite clear about this."

"So, you're just looking for death?"

"What if I say yes?"

"Then I'll teach you a lesson today!"

After saying that, the man suddenly threw a punch at Xu Yao.

Seeing the man's movement, Xu Yao smiled contemptuously and easily jumped back, dodging the man's attack.

"Hey bro, if that's all you've got, you can't hurt me. I think you'd better figure out your own strength before you try to bully people."

Hearing this, the man's anger intensified.

"You little scum, how dare you talk so arrogantly in front of me. Fine, today I'll teach you a lesson and show you what I'm capable of!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly pounced on Xu Yao.

Upon seeing this scene, Xu Yao narrowed his eyes.

Since this man is so eager to teach me a lesson, I might as well teach him one.

He immediately threw a punch at the man.

Upon seeing this, a fierce glint appeared in the man's eyes.

In his eyes, Xu Yao's current behavior was like a moth drawn to a flame, courting death.

After all, his strength speaks for itself.

"This is hilarious! You actually dared to exchange punches with me? Don't you even know your own limitations? I'm at least a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator, and even at my worst, I'm still stronger than you new disciples."

"If I wanted to deal with you, wouldn't it be a simple matter?"

"If you try to punch me, watch out for your poor little body; I might just break your arm."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the man who had exchanged punches with Xu Yao began to feel extremely regretful.

It has to be said that he seriously underestimated Xu Yao in front of him.

As their fists clashed, a muffled sound rang out.

Then, the man felt a sharp pain and numbness coming from his arm.

The hand he used to punch Xu Yao was now trembling uncontrollably.

The man was in excruciating pain, and cold sweat poured uncontrollably down his forehead.

He frowned deeply, and his face became extremely ferocious.

"You bastard, how dare you do something like this to me! You've got guts, and you're pretty strong too!"

Xu Yao laughed nonchalantly upon hearing this.

"You flatter me, you flatter me, you flatter me."

Back then, he wasn't afraid of fighting against someone at the fourth level of Qi Refining when he was at the first level of Qi Refining. Now that he's at the fourth level of Qi Refining, what's there to be afraid of in dealing with this guy who's also at the fourth level of Qi Refining?

And to put it bluntly, he hasn't even used his true strength yet.

Right now, I'm just using this man to test my current physical condition.

The man in front of him was clearly still holding a grudge because Xu Yao's punch had made his arm go numb.
