A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

"What...do you mean?"

Sun Zhigang looked at Ye Chen in surprise and doubt, not understanding why he had taken the initiative to admit defeat...

I was the one who clearly lost the competition!

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen did not explain. After admitting defeat, he turned to Wang Fugui, who was standing to the side, and said...

"It's up to you..."

Wang Fugui's expression brightened, and he became excited, nodding in agreement.

"yes!"

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Xu!"

He was overjoyed. When he first saw Sun Zhigang come out, he was a little worried that Ye Chen wouldn't be a match for him...

As a result, Ye Chen crippled Sun Zhigang with a single move...

He was incredibly grateful to have found Ye Chen as a helper; spending a hundred second-grade spirit-replenishing pills was definitely worth it...

Wang Fugui hurriedly walked forward, looked at Sun Zhigang lying on the ground, and cupped his hands in a smile.

"Senior Brother Sun, please enlighten me!"

Sun Zhigang: ???

Upon seeing this, Sun Zhigang was instantly stunned, looking at Wang Fugui with a strange expression, his anger suddenly flaring up...

Damn, is this kid here to pick up a bargain?

This is absolutely outrageous!

He glanced at Ye Chen beside him, then at Wang Fugui who had come to challenge him, and immediately understood what was going on...

"Kid, what kind of skill is it to find helpers? If you're so capable, come and challenge me yourself..." Sun Zhigang roared angrily at Wang Fugui in front of him.

Meeting Sun Zhigang's fiery gaze, Wang Fugui remained unperturbed and said with a grin.

"Senior Brother Sun is right, I'm not capable..."

"However... I would appreciate your guidance, Senior Brother Sun!"

He said with a serious expression.

For him, saving face was irrelevant; all he needed was to successfully enter the inner sect of the Qingyun Sect...

Sun Zhigang's face darkened...

"Alright, alright, you said it yourself..."

He gritted his teeth against the pain in his wrist, struggled to his feet, and glared fiercely at Wang Fugui, his heart burning with rage...

"Gurgle!"

Wang Fugui froze, staring at Sun Zhigang as he stood up...

He had assumed that since his opponent was injured, he should have given up, but to his surprise, he actually got up...

Even with an injured arm, Sun Zhigang was not someone he could easily handle...

This is at least a Foundation Establishment stage expert!

Wang Fugui suddenly felt a pang of panic...

"Kid, you want to learn from me? I hope you're tough enough not to beg for mercy later..."

Sun Zhigang stared at Wang Fugui with a ferocious expression, his body surging with violent spiritual energy...

He planned to vent his anger on Wang Fugui.

If you can't beat Ye Chen, surely you can beat this kid?

"you..."

Wang Fugui's expression changed slightly; he nervously swallowed, then hurriedly looked to Ye Chen for help...

"Senior Brother Xu, what should we do?"

He was scared...

Just looking at Sun Zhigang's eyes is scary enough. If they start fighting, won't they beat his fat body to a pulp?

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen glanced at the furious Sun Zhigang, then calmly looked at Wang Fugui and offered words of comfort.

"If you can't beat him, just admit defeat. I'll just cripple one of his arms later..."

"If I'm really not confident of winning, then I might as well cripple my legs too..."

His gaze swept over Sun Zhigang...

Now that we've accepted Wang Fugui's pills, we naturally need to ensure he can smoothly move into Cave Number Ten...

Otherwise, people will say he takes the money but doesn't do the job, and how will he get the next order in the future?

Sun Zhigang: ???

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhigang shuddered, his legs went weak, and a chill ran down his spine...

This is... way too much!

Are you going to cripple his legs?

Faced with Ye Chen's blatant threat, he instantly calmed down, cold sweat pouring down his back as he weighed the pros and cons in his mind...

If he were to actually attack Wang Fugui now, he would inevitably face another challenge from Ye Chen. Even if Wang Fugui conceded defeat beforehand, the cave dwelling would still be lost...

Since that's the case, he might as well admit defeat now to avoid future trouble...

With the inner sect selection imminent, he didn't want to become a cripple. Once he recovered from his injuries, he would still have a chance to compete for a spot in the cave dwelling...

After a brief hesitation, Sun Zhigang gritted his teeth and shouted first before Wang Fugui was about to admit defeat.

"I...I give up!"

"This cave is yours now..."

Sun Zhigang was filled with resentment, but he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger...

Who told him to be less capable than others?

"Um?"

Wang Fugui was stunned for a moment, looking at Sun Zhigang in front of him in disbelief.

"I...won?"

He thought he was going to get a beating, but to his surprise, Sun Zhigang actually admitted defeat...

I didn't realize Senior Brother Sun was so good at enduring things...

"Then... I'll concede!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Sun!"

Wang Fugui smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

Sun Zhigang's lips twitched, and he felt a surge of anger.

Was he trying to back down? He was forced into it; if he had fought back, his hands and feet would have been crippled...

He gritted his teeth, turned around angrily, and left...

The disciples watching the commotion were utterly dumbfounded...

"This works? You can even have someone else do the challenge for you?"

"This doesn't seem to violate the clan rules; it's indeed a good method..."

"If that's possible... I'd also like to ask Senior Brother Xu for help!"

"How much did Wang Fugui pay to get Senior Brother Xu to help him seize the cave dwelling..."

"If we can successfully enter the inner sect, it'll be worth any price..."

...

Everyone's minds immediately started racing...

It's important to know that the treatment of inner disciples and outer disciples is vastly different.

Once you enter the inner sect, not only will your status and position rise accordingly, but your cultivation resources will also increase, and you'll have access to a wider variety of cultivation techniques and secret manuals...

This concerns everyone's future, and cannot be compared to any amount of spirit stones or elixirs.

In an instant, many disciples present looked at Ye Chen with fervent eyes...

"Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Xu!"

Wang Fugui quickly walked up to Ye Chen, clasped his hands in gratitude, and said...

If Ye Chen hadn't threatened him, Sun Zhigang would never have admitted defeat, and a fierce battle would have been inevitable...

Ye Chen glanced at Wang Fugui and waved his hand dismissively.

"Now that I've accepted your pills, I'll naturally help you get things done..."

"Now we're even!"

After saying that, he turned and left...

"I, Wang Fugui, will never forget Senior Brother Xu's kindness. Once I enter the inner sect, I will definitely repay him properly..." Wang Fugui shouted as he looked at Ye Chen's retreating figure.

The next second, the disciples who had come to watch the commotion quickly surrounded them...

"Junior Brother Wang, how many spirit stones did you spend to hire Senior Brother Xu to help?"

"Is Senior Brother Xu's price too high?"

"Tell me quickly, how many spirit stones are needed at the very least?"
