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

Chapter 636 Hunt

"Oh? You're willing to take me in?" Xu Yao said in surprise.

Xu Yao recognized the boy because he was Wang Peng, his classmate from their time at the academy.

"Anyway, I'm just killing time. Where are you going?" Wang Peng scratched his head and smiled憨厚ly.

"I'm going to try my luck in the forest to see if I can hunt down any monsters," Xu Yao said casually.

Wang Peng's eyes widened upon hearing Xu Yao's words: "You actually want to hunt monsters?"

"Hmm? Is there something wrong?" Xu Yao asked in surprise.

"There's nothing wrong with it," Wang Peng said awkwardly, shaking his head.

He didn't want to stoop to the level of a freak like Xu Yao.

Seeing his expression, Xu Yao couldn't help but smile and said, "Alright, just tell me the specific address."

“It’s about seven or eight kilometers south of here, and there are many monsters along the way,” Wang Peng said after thinking for a moment.

Xu Yao nodded and then turned and left.

He arrived at the city gate, received a token, and then mounted his flying sword and flew towards the forest.

Xu Yao's cultivation had reached the peak of the sixth level of the Qi Condensation stage, only half a step away from the seventh level.

But this half-step was like a chasm that could not be crossed at all.

His soul power is not strong, and he has only just embarked on the path of cultivation.

Although Xu Yao, who possesses the system, can use it to enhance his soul power.

However, this approach actually has significant drawbacks and consumes even more spirit stones.

Moreover, although this method can increase soul power in the short term, it cannot completely make up for the loss of soul power.

If this continues, he will eventually die from a depleted soul.

However, if one wants to break through on their own without relying on the system, it would take at least a year or even longer.

Xu Yao sighed, and he couldn't help but miss his former master.

If my master were still alive, his current level of cultivation would probably be even higher than mine, but there are no "what ifs" in this world.

Just as Xu Yao was lost in thought, he arrived in the forest, and the surrounding scenery shocked him.

In the center of the forest, the trees were lush and green, and occasionally the roars of beasts could be heard, but no trace of any monsters was ever found.

"Could it be that I've entered an illusion array?" Xu Yao muttered to himself.

He silently hypnotized himself, trying to stop thinking about it, and then began to observe his surroundings.

Suddenly he saw something dark in the grass not far away, and he could vaguely make out that it looked like a snake.

A cruel smile crept across Xu Yao's lips.

He then rushed over quickly and stepped on the snake's head.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yao pulled out his dagger and stabbed it hard through the snake's head.

He then grabbed the snake's tail, pulled out the snakeskin, and put it into his backpack.

Xu Yao found a flat spot to sit down and then took out the jade box he had bought.

Then he placed the Crimson Flame Spirit Stone into the jade box.

After doing all this, Xu Yao closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing and cultivate.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, a group of people arrived in front of Xu Yao's house.

"Hey! You surnamed Xu, get out here right now!" a furious shout rang out.

Xu Yao, who was cultivating inside the room, opened his eyes.

"How dare you yell at me? You're courting death." Xu Yao snorted coldly, then pushed open the door and walked out.

"Heh heh! Kid, you've got some guts." The leader of the group said mockingly.

"Who are you?" Xu Yao asked coldly.

"I am a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. I summoned you here to give you a warning."

"Don't be arrogant just because you have a little strength. Kneel down right now and kowtow three times to admit your mistake!" the young man said arrogantly.

"Why should I admit defeat?" Xu Yao asked, frowning.

"Because I'll make you die a horrible death," the young man said sinisterly.

"Oh?" Xu Yao raised an eyebrow, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Since you want to play this game, I'll play along to the end," Xu Yao said with a smile, but his face gradually darkened.

"Since you refuse to admit your mistake, then don't blame me for being ruthless," the young man said, taking out a pill and popping it into his mouth.

Xu Yao watched him take the pill and curled his lip in disdain: "It's just an ordinary healing pill, it has no effect on me right now."

"Haha, you'll see how amazing it is in a moment!" the young man laughed heartily.

"Really?" Xu Yao asked, squinting.

The young man's complexion gradually changed; his previously pale face slowly regained its color, and his aura began to rise.

The surrounding air seemed to have frozen, making it suffocating.

"This..." Xu Yao looked at the young man's change in surprise.

"What? Scared stiff?" The young man looked at Xu Yao with a sneer.

Then, the young man suddenly stood up, exuding a strong killing intent.

At this moment, the young man's clothes burst open, revealing his bronze muscles and strong upper body.

His skin faintly glowed with blood, making him look like a demon crawling out of hell.

"You're really useless! You can't even counteract my pills," the young man said disdainfully.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the young man suddenly lunged at Xu Yao.

The two fists collided with a muffled thud, and then the young man's figure quickly retreated, crashing through the window and falling into the courtyard.

The young man spat out a mouthful of blood, and there was a clear footprint on his chest.

"Damn it, what's going on? Could this kid also be a Body Refinement Realm martial artist?"

The young man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at Xu Yao in shock.

"It seems I underestimated you," the young man said through gritted teeth.

"You did underestimate me, but now you should know that I'm not someone you can mess with, right?" Xu Yao said with a cold snort.

"Kid! Just you wait!" With that, the young man left in anger.

Xu Yao shook his head, then turned around and continued his cultivation.

For the next few days, Xu Yao stayed in his room and did not go out.

However, in his heart he cursed the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect for going too far.

Although he is a newly recruited martial arts apprentice, he absolutely will not allow anyone to ride on his head and urinate on him!

This time, Xu Yao did not rush to make a move because he planned to use the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to test the situation outside.

A few days later, the people from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect came to Xu Yao again, this time blocking his door.

"Isn't this Senior Brother Xu?" the leading youth called out in a sarcastic tone.

"What do you want from me?" Xu Yao asked, frowning.

"Senior Brother Xu, let's not beat around the bush. If you leave the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect now, we'll call it even," the leading youth said calmly.

"Why should I?" Xu Yao retorted.

"Because you are no longer worthy to stay in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect! You have no right at all!" the young man shouted.

"You know that our Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has a rule that newly recruited martial artists must complete three assessments before they can become disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect!"

"Your assessment isn't finished yet, so I advise you to go back as soon as possible," the young man continued.

After listening to the young man's words, Xu Yao suddenly realized what was going on.
