When he arrived in front of Shi Ling, he saw Xu Hao leading a group of people over. The fat body of Xu Hao had almost reached Shi Ling's belly by the time he arrived, but Shi Ling had a cold expression on his face as he said,

"Fatty Xu, I suggest you take good care of your henchman and stop letting him bite people. Otherwise, you won't meet someone as easy to talk to as me next time. You will spare his life."

One of his hands had even touched the swollen part of his face. When Xu Hao heard what Shi Ling called him, it immediately made him unhappy; everyone knew he was fat, and he himself knew it, but no one was allowed to call him fat!

Immediately, Xu Hao looked coldly at Shi Ling and said, "Shi Ling, do you really think you are something? You still dare to clamor in front of me? "

Shi Ling placed his hands on his waist and asked, "Then what do you count as?"

When Xu Hao heard this, he immediately laughed out loud. Not only him, even those henchmen around him started laughing out loud, all of them pointing at Shi Ling as if they were looking at a country bumpkin. At this moment, Xu Hao said to the people behind him, "Brothers, tell this stupid dog of my identity."

The youth in green clothes said: "Our Brother Xu has now officially become a follower of the Zhang family of Chang Yuan City's Four Great Families. Not only has he received the attention of the Zhang family, he has also received a grade one martial skill.

As he spoke, Xu Hao's face was full of pride. Even the surrounding people were filled with envy. It was clear that they knew that the future of a man who could become a servant of the Zhang Family was limitless.

However, on the other hand, the current Shi Ling was looking at Xu Hao as if he was looking at a retard. When Xu Hao saw the look in his son's eyes, his smile suddenly froze.

At this moment, Shi Ling said, "Since you are so powerful, I wonder if you would dare to compete with me in the martial arena!"

When Xu Hao heard this, the corner of his mouth rose slightly. He raised his hand to stop the laughter of the lackeys behind him. Then, he stared at Shi Ling and said, "Compete with me?" "Are you sure?"

Xu Hao calmly replied, "And if you lose?"

Shi Ling took out a storage card and said, "The 900 gold coins are yours!"

Although he had already become a servant of the Zhang Family, his income had not changed at all. With a monthly salary of 10 gold coins, if he could get 900 gold coins, then it would be equivalent to receiving 10 years' worth of silver coins in one breath. How could he not be moved?

Xu Hao laughed loudly and said: "Ok, it's a deal."

As he said this, he extended a hand, gesturing for Shi Ling to clap with him. However, Shi Ling placed his storage card behind him and said, "What if you lose?"

He knew that he wouldn't lose, and even if he failed, he would still be much stronger than Shi Ling. But before he could even open his mouth, Shi Ling continued, "If you lose, you have to pay respects and call me Brother Ling when you see me in the future! How about it? Isn't that a bit too much? "

He was now a Zhang family servant, so he wanted to pay respects to Shi Ling. What would the others think of him? However, when he saw Shi Ling take out the nine hundred gold storage card and waving it in front of him, Xu Hao said that he was not interested in the nine hundred gold. He immediately said, "Alright, I'll take this bet!"

At this moment, Xu Hao also followed behind him with an evil smile on his face. Ever since he received the Level 1 Martial Arts from the Zhang Family, he had been looking for an opportunity to crush Shi Ling, but he had never found one. Now, Shi Ling had actually taken the initiative to challenge him.

However, just as they left, a beautiful figure walked out from behind a cargo rack not far away. It was Yun Qiaoqian. Her beautiful eyes looked in the direction that Shi Ling had left and gently bit her lower lip before following him out.

At this moment, as Xu Hao walked along the road with Shi Ling, he was already thinking about how to trample Shi Ling beneath his feet, and how to take out the nine hundred gold coins to be carefree and carefree.

The Spirit Sword Sect's martial arena is actually formed by several arenas of different sizes. The disciples within the sect choose the arenas according to their strength levels, and under normal circumstances, the weaker they are, the smaller the arenas they are able to use, and the stronger they are, the stronger the arenas will be.

For example, the inner sect's Heavenly Rankings was a competition where several gigantic arenas were floating in the air. Their area was as big as a plaza, and just by looking at them, one could feel a sense of oppression.

Everyone understood the rules of the arena. As long as you don't beat the opponent to death, it wasn't a big deal, you could use all sorts of methods here, as long as you had it, it wouldn't be a problem even if it was a weapon or poison, and even if you crippled your opponent in the end, it wouldn't be a violation of the rules.

The people around them all cast their gazes over. Yun Qiaoqian was quietly observing Shi Ling and Shi Ling's opponents from behind with a worried expression on her face. The maids behind her were all looking at each other in dismay. They did not know what was going on with their young miss today. Why was he so concerned about a man?

With the sound of a melodious ancient bell, the competition officially began. At this moment, Xu Hao, who was on the stage, let out a loud roar, and suddenly released all of his aura as he stomped hard on the ground with one foot, causing the ground to shatter. At the same time, a scorching heat appeared around his body.

Everyone was stunned, especially the people who followed Xu Hao. They had never expected that Xu Hao would use his first grade martial skill, Fierce Sun Fist, the moment he appeared. From the looks of it, he did not intend to give Shi Ling any chance to retaliate.

She could tell that Shi Ling's cultivation was only at the second level of the Body Refinement Realm, the same level as Xu Hao. However, Xu Hao had a Level 1 Martial Arts, while Shi Ling didn't. This was equivalent to two ordinary people fighting.

Xu Hao loudly shouted, "Bastard, go die!"

At this moment, Shi Ling was still standing quietly at his original spot. At this moment, everyone's eyes had widened, and some of them even turned their heads away, not daring to look at the bloody scene that might appear in front of them.

However, just as Xu Hao's fist was about to land on Shi Ling's chest, he heard a soft thud, and a gust of wind swept up, causing the dust on the ground to fly into the air. The people around him couldn't help but take a few steps back, staring blankly at everything that was happening in front of them.

After that, everyone became stupefied. Xu Hao's mouth involuntarily opened, and even Yun Qiaoqian, who was in the distance, couldn't help but cover her red lips with her hand.

The punch landed on Xu Hao's chest, but Shi Ling did not retreat a single step. In fact, he did not even show any expression on his face, it was hard to imagine that Shi Ling was only able to withstand a single punch from Xu Hao by relying on his physical strength. One could imagine how terrifying the strength of Shi Ling's physical body was.

At this moment, Xu Hao's earlier complacency had completely vanished. What replaced it was fear, a fear that rose from the depths of his heart. Before Shi Ling even made a move, Xu Hao already wanted to admit defeat.

At this moment, the corners of Shi Ling's mouth curled up slightly. He grabbed Xu Hao's wrist and twisted forcefully. The next moment, a light cracking sound could be heard, and Xu Hao immediately let out a miserable shriek like that of a pig being butchered.

However, things weren't over yet. Shi Ling lifted Xu Hao's fat body and threw him downwards. At the same time, Shi Ling pushed his knee forward, and at the same time Xu Hao landed, he slammed it against Xu Hao's stomach.

Thump! Xu Hao suddenly felt as if his internal organs were about to vomit. His eyes widened, and after being stabbed by Shi Ling, he was sent spinning to the side, heavily smashing into the ground without any reaction, like a dead dog.

Everyone in the arena was dumbfounded. Was this really the same Shi Ling they had been shouting at? At that moment, Shi Ling walked to Xu Hao's side, squatted down, and whispered in his ear, "The humiliation from that day will be returned a hundredfold!"

His body couldn't help but to tremble as he recalled the scene where he used to wantonly beat and insult Shi Ling as if he was venting his anger. He recalled what Shi Ling had told him at that time, "Today's shame will be returned a hundredfold."

At this moment, Xu Hao was regretting his decision to provoke Shi Ling. He really did regret his decision to provoke Shi Ling earlier on, when he saw Shi Ling standing up and pressing Xu Hao's head with one foot, causing him to face the ground. At that moment, Xu Hao was regretting his decision.

That piercing scream made the people around them shiver. The way they looked at Shi Ling made them feel as if they were looking at a monster. When Shi Ling looked at them, it made them retreat, and some of them even felt their legs go limp.

Shi Ling moved his foot away from Xu Hao's head and walked down the stage. The current Xu Hao had already left a deep shadow in the back of his heart for Shi Ling, and his face was probably already ruined. Unless he used high level spirit plants or elixirs, it would be difficult for him to recover.

When the crowd below saw Shi Ling walk down, they subconsciously took a step back. Then, they heard Shi Ling utter a single word in a calm voice, "Let's go!"

As he said this, he walked out of the arena. The crowd looked at each other in dismay, thinking that Shi Ling couldn't do anything to them once they left the arena, so he didn't need to be afraid of him.

As for Xu Hao, who was lying on the stage like a dead dog, he was completely ignored. It wasn't until the manager of the martial arena arrived that he was lifted off the stage and then sent out.

Upon seeing Shi Ling leave, Yun Zhi Qian, who was on the other side, had a complicated expression on her face. She couldn't tell what sort of feeling she was experiencing, but she lowered her head and walked off in another direction.

On the other side, Shi Ling was walking at the forefront. Behind him were all the servants from the A Division, none of them daring to speak as they followed behind him silently. Although they knew that Shi Ling did not dare to fight with them outside, there was no guarantee that this would happen. At that time, even if the sect punished Shi Ling, it would only be a small punishment.

At this moment, Shi Ling led them out of his room, and said to them, "Bring out all the useless things inside, then clean up the room for me. After I check it later, if I find anything that isn't cleaned properly …"

The scene of Xu Hao being viciously beaten up by Shi Ling was still fresh in everyone's mind, so naturally, they did not dare to even touch Shi Ling's brow now. Immediately, all of them lifted up their sleeves and walked into the junk room.

Shi Ling sat at the side, arranging the purchases he had made today. He had spent more than 1000 gold coins, but had received another 5000 gold coins. In total, Shi Ling currently had 5,900 gold coins, so he should not think that it was too much.

While Shi Ling calculated the expenses, he discussed with Bai Xiaosheng how to use these cultivation resources.

Time passed by quickly. After about two hours, all of the servants in the A Division had come out. They were all covered in dust as they stood in a row in front of Shi Ling and said, "Brother Ling, everything has been cleaned up."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ling nodded and placed everything back into his storage ring before heading to his room.

After that, Shi Ling saw the debris that was originally piled up in more than half of the room being cleared out, revealing the original appearance of the room.

The furnishings in the room were very simple. There was a table, a few stools, a few cabinets, and Shi Ling's straw bed. The whole room suddenly gave off a neat and clean feeling.

Shi Ling casually wiped his hands on a table. After he found the table to be quite clean, he nodded and said, "Not bad, it's pretty clean."

The group of people immediately nodded and bowed in excitement, thinking that since Shi Ling was already satisfied, he probably wouldn't make things difficult for them. However, Shi Ling said, "In the future, I'll clean up the sect …"

Upon hearing this, a bunch of people immediately interjected, "In the future, we'll help Brother Ling clean up."

At this point, Shi Ling nodded his head with a smile and said, "Alright, you can go back and do five hundred pushups each."

After saying that, Shi Ling waved his hand at them, and those who heard his words couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. They had been busy for more than two hours already, they still had to do five hundred push-ups. However, none of them dared to disobey Shi Ling's words. Immediately, they could only silently lower their heads and walk out.

At this moment, a bright light flashed from Shi Ling's finger, and Bai Xiaosheng flew out. He said to Shi Ling, "Are you intentionally trying to make life difficult for them?"

Shi Ling snorted as he laughed, "When I used Fatty Xu to show off in front of me, pointing fingers and pointing fingers at me, they never thought that I would be very forgiving of them by making them do 500 push-ups on this day."

When Bai Xiaosheng heard this, he could not help but twitch his mouth, thinking that it was enough for Shi Ling to hold a grudge.
