When system cheat becomes rampant!

"Xiyu, you wait outside, Xiang Beifei, come with me."

Professor Guo turned around, grabbed Xiang Beifei, then stepped forward, directly crossing the space to arrive beside Elder Luo, who was lying on a lounge chair with a telescope watching sparrows.

"Luo Yunxian!"

Professor Guo yelled.

"Why are you yelling so loudly! You crow megaphone, you scared away the sparrows!"

Elder Luo turned his head and glared at Professor Guo.

"You have the nerve to say that! That day, when I was not around, you took the opportunity to accept this student into your sect first, and I didn't even settle scores with you. Now that you have him, is it just to chat with you and relieve your boredom every day? You're wasting your day, fine, but making a student waste his time too?"

Professor Guo looked at Elder Luo with a displeased expression, his tone pressing and confrontational, seemingly ready to accuse.

College teachers, responsible for nurturing all students, instruct students on general foundational knowledge.

But students' aptitudes are uneven, so some teachers take under their wing the students they prefer as disciples, fostering them closely, teaching them their own cultivation techniques, akin to a master-disciple relationship.

The systems of cultivation techniques are each person's secret and not everyone can learn them; only those whose aptitudes meet the conditions are chosen by the teachers.

Xiang Beifei was a disciple whom Elder Luo had claimed first; he was currently studying Elder Luo's spiritual power.

"He's already under my tutelage now; he is a Little White Crane of my Leisure Clouds and Wild Cranes. What I have him do every day is none of your business! Mind your own. Get lost," Elder Luo retorted defiantly.

"Damn it! I won't let you delay the student! With his great potential, he should be learning various skills to counter desolate beasts, not wasting his time on you!"

Professor Guo, furious, yelled at Elder Luo, then turned to look at Xiang Beifei, his gaze filled with a deadly seriousness that made Xiang Beifei's scalp tingle.

How come the atmosphere feels off.

"Xiang Beifei, you don't have to listen to him, just follow me from now on. What Leisure Clouds and Wild Cranes, that's just misleading the youth! Follow me, I'll teach you how to kill desolate beasts quicker!" Professor Guo said.

"Huh?"

Xiang Beifei was somewhat confused.

"Professor Guo, stay away as far as you can! Daring to snatch my disciple right in front of me! Have you lost your mind? Did you really think I haven't taught him how to cultivate?"

Elder Luo stood up, holding the telescope at his waist, like a protective Chief of the crane race, aggressively rebuffing Professor Guo, his imposing manner no less than Professor Guo's.

"You teach him to cultivate?"

Professor Guo, harboring significant resentment towards Elder Luo, turned his head and asked Xiang Beifei, "What have you learned from him?"

Before Xiang Beifei could answer, Elder Luo interjected, "He's learning defense ability from me, what about it? You unhappy?"

Professor Guo angrily said, "Learning defense from you? Learning spiritual power, I could understand, but defense from you? Even if your defense is high, how can you teach that to others?"

"He's my disciple, I'll teach whatever I want, who said I can't teach? Is my defense weaker than yours?" Elder Luo retorted proudly.

Professor Guo seemed to be both angry and amused, and he said to Xiang Beifei, "Learning defense, you need a professional teacher. Are you young and your eyes failing already? What can you learn from following him? Forget it, it's normal to be misled if you lack discernment. Let's go! Don't mind him, I'll teach you what true defense is."

"Huh?"

Xiang Beifei looked at Elder Luo, puzzled.

But without further ado, Professor Guo reached out and grabbed the back of Xiang Beifei's collar, dragging him away; in front of such a titan, Xiang Beifei had no power to resist.

"I'll tell you, defense skills aren't something anyone can teach. Luo Yunxian's defense only works on himself and can't be taught to others, but I can. What you need is..."

Professor Guo had nearly dragged Xiang Beifei out of the grove when he suddenly frowned, glanced at Xiang Beifei again as if he had realized something.

Then he dragged Xiang Beifei back angrily.

Xiang Beifei, having his collar yanked back and forth by Professor Guo, was utterly confused.

"You have a beef with Elder Luo. Go drag him!"

"Luo Yunxian, you've tricked me again!"

Professor Guo glared at Elder Luo, he had realized, where did Luo Yunxian have the ability to teach Xiang Beifei defense? It was just a provocation!

"Such a blockhead."

Elder Luo chuckled, this strategy never failed.

He lay back down on the resting chair, asking, "So, will you teach him or not? If not, I'll have him take elective defense courses."

"Are those electives of any use to him?" Professor Guo snapped, "His limit is obviously higher than those techniques! Can't you see that?"

The "Defense Ability Specialization" elective course was designed to provide students, whose systems did not offer defense, with a few R-rated or S-rated basic defense skills; however, these techniques were offered by other teachers and belonged to them, not specifically tailored for the students.

Since it wasn't their own, the mastery would be limited and the achievements couldn't be too high, but for the students, it was better than nothing.

Xiang Beifei vaguely understood now.

Last time Elder Luo saw that his defensive power was not very strong, but he didn't personally teach him how to defend.

Because Elder Luo's "Leisure System" was quite special, his defensive power was directly maximized, simple and crude. He himself could become extremely tough, but it wasn't a technique others could learn; therefore, he couldn't teach it to Xiang Beifei.

At that time, Elder Luo had only said he would figure something out, and now Xiang Beifei realized that Elder Luo's idea of figuring something out was to find him a real defense teacher.

It turned out Elder Luo was clever after all, deceiving Professor Guo with just a few provocative remarks.

"Useful or not, they're still defense skills," Elder Luo said proudly.

"But my defense skills are not for everyone to learn," Professor Guo said coldly.

"Can't you see what he's capable of from the videos?" Elder Luo asked complacently.

Professor Guo furrowed his brows, pondering.

"I understand now."

Professor Guo stared at Xiang Beifei, then continued, "So it turns out, he's not an N-rated Awakener, is he?"

"Is he or isn't he, none of your business! I won't tell you, I hope it kills you!"

Elder Luo himself didn't know either; he hadn't asked Xiang Beifei these things, as there was no need to inquire too deeply. Such a student's system talents were secondary; it was best not to let too many people know, to prevent unwanted attention.

Professor Guo apparently understood this and tactfully did not inquire further, instead saying, "If I teach him, then he is my student."

"Go dream! He is my student. You can teach him or leave! I'll just have him learn the R-rated defense skills! I don't need your measly defensive power!" Elder Luo cursed.

"You scoundrel!"

Professor Guo looked very annoyed.

But he seemed very reluctant to give up on teaching Xiang Beifei.

As a professor with great responsibility, he didn't want to see a promising student like Xiang Beifei wasted by this idle fellow.

For him, as long as there was a student who wanted to learn his defense skills, he would sparingly guide them, never hiding his secrets.

However, the problem was also clear.

His defense skills were indeed powerful, but too esoteric, after all, they were SR-rated, and generally, those rated R and S couldn't learn it, not even the SRs sometimes.

So even though he had the intention, he was powerless; otherwise, he would certainly teach more students, giving them the ability to defend themselves and then fight against desolate beasts, defending the frontiers, becoming pillars of the Jiuzhou Alliance.

This was his philosophy of teaching; he hoped that every student could succeed, especially someone like Xiang Beifei who had managed to pin down a Triangular Thunder Krait before even entering school; he was eager to teach him his defensive abilities.

But Elder Luo was blocking him, which was quite uncomfortable.

"Are you sure he can master it?" Professor Guo asked.

"The guy is right here, don't you see?" Elder Luo said impatiently.

Professor Guo released Xiang Beifei's collar and then told Xiang Beifei, "Your lousy master tricked me, I was very angry, but I really can't stand to see your future wasted by this scoundrel! I've decided to try teaching you, but my defense techniques are quite special, I need to test whether you can learn them or not."
