C2 If You Want to Mess with Me Then Come and Kill Me!!

Upon hearing the alert in his mind, Su Yi was astounded.

He never imagined that consuming a piece of iron could boost his power.

With this thought, his sinister gaze shifted to the bandits behind Mr. Zhang.

More specifically, to the sharp knives they were clutching.

"Damn it, where's my knife?"

Mr. Zhang's knife vanished from his grasp, leaving his eyes bulging in disbelief.

Regaining his composure, he frantically yelled to his fellow bandits.

"What the hell are you waiting for? Take him down!"

"Oh..."

"Kid, prepare to meet your end!"

As the bandits charged at him, Su Yi remained utterly unfazed, ignoring the handsome man's attempts to dissuade him.

His eyes gleamed as he spread his arms wide, taunting them.

"Come at me if you dare."

Bandits: ???

The bandits poised to strike froze in their tracks, never before encountering such brazen defiance.

The bandits weren't the only ones perplexed; even the wounded handsome man was baffled.

Though these bandits were not particularly formidable, they were at least Rank Five in Spiritual Energy Entering Body.

In contrast, the youth appeared to be a mere Rank One...

"What are you idiots doing? Attack!"

"Detecting a small quantity of metal. Proceed with devouring?"

A grin spread across Su Yi's face as he eagerly responded, "Devour!"

"Whoosh!"

The knives in the bandits' hands mysteriously vanished upon contact with Su Yi.

To onlookers, the blades simply disappeared, but to Su Yi,

They had become the sustenance he needed to amplify his strength.

"Successfully devoured seven pieces of refined iron, gaining 700 Spiritual Energy Value!"

"You have achieved Rank Eight in Spiritual Energy Entering Body!"

"So this is what they call Spiritual Energy Entering Body. Impressive."

As Su Yi felt the transformation within, he couldn't help but smile contentedly.

He was invigorated, his mind exceptionally lucid, and a boundless strength surged through him.

His peculiar behavior caused the handsome man behind him to look on in utter astonishment.

He could sense a significant surge in the youth's Spiritual Energy.

"How on earth did his strength increase so rapidly!"

In the thick of the forest, the bandits stared at the young man before them, their expressions a mix of terror and bewilderment.

The youth had not only made bold claims but had also employed a bizarre technique to swallow their weapons whole.

"Qi Refining Stage!"

Mr. Zhang's mouth spasmed involuntarily. Wasn't this just some low-tier mission he'd accepted?

How on earth did they run into someone at the Qi Refining Stage?

Could it be a setup by someone from the Profound Moon Sect?

"Son of a gun, they actually dared to double-cross me!"

"We're getting out of here..."

Mr. Zhang wasted no time. With a cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage present, they were outmatched.

With that, he made to leave.

But Su Yi wasn't about to let them off so easily. Without his Black Hole System, he would've been a goner already.

They thought they could just walk away after an attempted murder? Not so fast.

In a blink, he was blocking their path.

"Hey, where's the fire?"

"Trying to leave after an attempted murder? That's quite the disregard for the law."

"Law?"

Mr. Zhang's brow furrowed, clearly not following.

Su Yi sighed. He had to remind himself he wasn't on Earth anymore.

This was a world ruled by the survival of the fittest. Here, he could kill these men and face no repercussions.

But he was a man of principles, not one to kill without cause.

That said, he had no shortage of ways to deal with scum like them.

"Hand over the Storage Ring!"

"You..."

"Mr. Zhang, the stuff in that ring..."

One of the lackeys piped up, voice tinged with panic.

Mr. Zhang clenched his jaw, his hand reluctantly tossing the Storage Ring to Su Yi.

"Fine, take it!"

What good were possessions if you lost your life?

Surviving was all that mattered now.

"Are we free to go?"

Su Yi examined the Storage Ring they'd handed over, a spark of interest in his voice.

"Mm..."

"Here's the deal: slap each other across the face 10,000 times, then you're free to go."
