When system cheat becomes rampant!

And this phrase "Transient Dream" was one of the new abilities he had realized.

He treated the events in dreams as real-life experiences, and real-life experiences as if they were just dreams.

He could substitute dreams for reality, and likewise turn reality into dreams.

Illusory yet genuine, fictitious yet true.

When Li Zimu tried to grasp this poetry, it was not as easy as it might seem, and he wrestled with it for nearly three months without a clue. Just two days ago, Xiang Beifei had told him about the two desolate beasts, Transient Dream and Silent Centipede, and assisted him in his cultivation with spiritual power, which finally allowed him to puncture through the last layer of gauze.

Just now in the arena, it seemed like Li Zimu was fighting Di Sheng, being pushed back step by step, but in reality, he was just standing there.

However, just because he was standing still didn't mean he was doing nothing; in his mind, he was still visualizing a confrontation with Di Sheng. In other words, he was indeed fighting Di Sheng, but only in a dream.

But the battle in the dream was no different from reality.

He mixed reality and dreams, making it impossible for Di Sheng to distinguish between the two. Di Sheng just kept attacking, ignoring the boundaries of the arena, so Li Zimu sold a flaw in his dream and lured Di Sheng out.

In the dream, it seemed that Li Zimu was being defeated by Di Sheng, but in reality, it was Li Zimu who defeated Di Sheng.

——

Liangzhou University had won two consecutive matches, whether it was the N-class Xiang Beifei who went first, or the SR-class Li Zimu who went second, their abilities had drawn the attention of other schools.

In the eyes of many experienced teachers, Li Zimu's SR was categorized as a dream illusion type System Awakener. Such dream illusion type System Awakeners could be countered with just spiritual power.

However, Li Zimu was not their biggest concern; they were more worried about Xiang Beifei!

Up to now, no one knew exactly how Xiang Beifei had defeated the SSR Hou Chengwu, who was a Meridian Opening period SSR and had boasted arrogantly before the match, only to be knocked down with a single strike.

Switching to another SSR, none believed they had the capability.

For now, they could only hope that other schools would face Xiang Beifei before encountering Liangzhou University, letting Xiang Beifei reveal more of his capabilities, so their own SSR students could be better prepared and not lose as miserably as Hou Chengwu did.

The competitions of other schools on the arena were still ongoing.

"This Gao Zhuo from Jizhou University has a somewhat bizarre ability; his opponents' attacks are actually confiscated. What exactly is his system?" Long Guocheng stared intently at Gao Zhuo on stage.

Both being SR-level, Gao Zhuo's abilities were something Long Guocheng couldn't decipher even after a long observation.

Gao Zhuo's opponent, Lin Fan from Yangzhou University, was a powerful controller of thunder. His thunder attacks were terrifying, turning the entire arena into a sea of lightning, with thick pillars of lightning striking back and forth like a torrential downpour of thunder and lightning, reminiscent of an Immortal undergoing tribulation.

The exploding columns of lightning scared all spectators; each bolt seemed powerful enough to shatter the arena, and standing in that sea of lightning for even a second seemed like it would result in instant destruction.

Yet, Gao Zhuo was unafraid in the midst of the lightning sea, merely dodging some of the bolts, but many were outright ignored, and his attacks were peculiar as powerful desolate beasts rampaged wildly across the field.

Rather than calling them desolate beasts, it would be better to say they were Beast Pills. Each Beast Pill floated around Gao Zhuo, with powerful desolate beast phantoms circling above, each possessing a variety of powers.

Wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, all in full array!

Gao Zhuo himself hadn't engaged Lin Fan in combat; he merely stood in place, then commanded these desolate beasts to attack Lin Fan.

Boom!

A Fire-Eating Wolf spat out a massive green fireball, which whistled through the air, passed over a Strong Ant standing before it, and then crashed towards Lin Fan.

Lin Fan's body was shrouded in powerful lightning, which shattered the green fireball then he threw a bolt of lightning towards the Strong Ant. However, when his lightning struck the Strong Ant, it did no damage; instead, the ant protruded its stout and sharp mandibles, chopping directly towards Lin Fan's arm.

Lin Fan abruptly withdrew his hand, but at that moment, the Fire-Eating Wolf spat another green fireball, which passed through the body of the Strong Ant and hit Lin Fan, making him spit out a mouthful of blood and stagger back with a somewhat pale face!

However, he did not fall, panting heavily, he watched Gao Zhuo with a serious expression; it was clear he was not so easily defeated.

Swish!

A Wild Spirit Horse roared on the side, lifting its iron-like hoofs and forcefully stomping on the ground, tearing it open. Black smoke burst out of the fissures, carrying a strong corrosiveness.

Lin Fan's expression was very stern, blue lightning burst among the black smoke, demolishing it, and he immediately threw a bolt of lightning backhandedly. This time the lightning zigzagged and struck the Wild Spirit Horse, instantly blasting it to pieces.

"He just now couldn't hit the Strong Ant right before him, yet he was able to strike the Wild Spirit Horse on the other side, something's strange." Li Zimu said.

Logically, the Strong Ant's strength was much weaker than the Wild Spirit Horse, but while the Wild Spirit Horse was destroyed, the Strong Ant still remained, very peculiar.

"This Lin Fan possesses an unrivaled lightning system, his lightning is top-notch, but what ability does Gao Zhuo have? Is it just summoning desolate beasts?" Long Guocheng asked gravely.

Lin Fan's lightning was terrifying, even when facing it directly, he couldn't say he could wholly avoid those bolts, but Gao Zhuo moved through them effortlessly!

Ye Changfeng pondered for a moment and then said, "Lin Fan's ability is clearly evident, Gao Zhuo cannot block his lightning, you would notice that in his exchange with Lin Fan, Gao Zhuo only dodges some of the lightning, but there are many bolts he does not avoid and lets hit him directly, and yet he remains unharmed, this means he selectively dodges the lightning."

"Exactly, Lin Fan's lightning is powerful, none of you would feel good if hit, Gao Zhuo is no exception. However, from his combat process, Gao Zhuo seems to be some type of system Awakener specializing in rules." Elder Luo said, watching Gao Zhuo on the stage.

"A rule-based System Awakener?" Ma Ziqian asked, confused, looking at Elder Luo.

"A rule-based System Awakener means that within his controlled system domain, only one rule is allowed. Only those who follow this rule can hurt him, those who do not comply cannot touch him at all," Elder Luo explained.

He then pointed at the Strong Ant on the stage and said, "Think about it, the Strong Ant is only at the mid-Qi Controlling stage, but the Wild Spirit Horse has the strength of the late Qi Controlling stage. Then why does the Strong Ant, only a meter from Lin Fan, not fear Lin Fan's attack, while the Wild Spirit Horse on the diagonal was destroyed by Lin Fan?"

The Wild Spirit Horse was destroyed by Lin Fan's sheer power, which seemed normal, but the weaker Strong Ant, which also fears lightning, was oddly unscathed.

"Could his domain rule be that Strong Ants are immune?" Long Guocheng asked.

"Of course not, you will face all sorts of strange abilities in the future, these include both cultivators and desolate beasts. Those that are straightforward are easier to handle, but the more complex ones, without the corresponding analytical ability, could easily lead to major losses, even if you have a higher cultivation level! So you need to think carefully about the reason, after this match ends, I'll explain further."

With Elder Luo's insight, he had already guessed the answer, as someone who had seen more capabilities than these students had walked roads, his judgment was far from ordinary.

Long Guocheng and Ma Ziqian exchanged looks, pondered for a long time, but still could not figure out the reason. Even though they were SR-ranked Awakeners, they were just freshmen, and guessing such complex systems was too difficult.
