If Zhaang Ye had more time, he could have used a gentler approach to send those people away. But his time was tight, and he needed to seize every moment for his cultivation.
After returning from the outer forests of the Barbaric Beast Mountain Range, Zhaang Ye spent a full two months cultivating the Dragon Elephant Skill. It took him nearly another month to raise his cultivation to the Martial Arts Fourth Layer. Factoring in other miscellaneous activities, Zhaang Ye now had just over forty days until the Four Races' Youth Expert Ranking Tournament and a little over seventy days until the contest for the Gathering Flower Fruit.
With time so pressing, Zhaang Ye didn't have the energy to deal with every challenger who came to his door one by one. In this world where strength was everything, might made right. To avoid further trouble, Zhaang Ye had no choice but to display some of his power.
If he insisted on hiding his true abilities, it would only attract more challengers.
