When system cheat becomes rampant!

Xiang Beifei's last visit to the forest was considered the most basic domain outside a desolate realm.

This course is designed to teach students how to protect themselves in these dangerous environments, what the weather conditions are, which desolate beasts inhabit each type of terrain, how these desolate beasts will attack humans, what methods are needed to evade these desolate beasts, where to go to slay the right desolate beasts to obtain Beast Pills as energy sources for human society...

"I hope you all remember that any knowledge about the domain outside desolate realms is not unfounded; it is acquired through the sacrifices of many pioneers' lives. Thus, at the Martial Arts College, every pioneer deserves respect. Master this knowledge well; do not let the blood of our predecessors flow in vain, nor let your own lives be lost for nothing!"

Ye Changfeng reiterated the importance of this course and gave everyone a rough impression of the domain outside the desolate realms. This knowledge was not taught in high school, as high school students still need to choose between the literary Dao and the martial Dao. Students of the literary Dao might never visit the domain outside the desolate realms, so it is not necessary for them to learn this.

Freshmen are currently not allowed to go to the domain outside the desolate realms. They need to master the basic knowledge first, earn student points in the combat arena, pass the assessments of simulated courses, and then they are permitted to go to the domain outside the desolate realms.

Regular students begin their ventures to the domain outside the desolate realms starting from their sophomore year. Of course, there are some exceptionally talented individuals who are exceptions. They only need to earn the necessary student points and then gain permission from their teachers, such as some SR and SSRs, and individuals like Xiang Beifei.

After class, Xiang Beifei was detained again.

Ye Changfeng got straight to the point: "I need a class representative for my course. Are you interested?"

Xiang Beifei, who was in a rather pleasant mood, suddenly showed a face full of resistance, his brows furrowed as if they were about to become a twisted rag.

"I know you probably don't like this sort of thing. Elder Luo told me, Professor Guo has designated you as his class representative. I think Professor Guo might now feel resentment toward Elder Luo that could condense into an artificial lake, regretting that he was a step late and didn't snatch you under his wing as a disciple."

Ye Changfeng, one of Elder Luo's closed-door disciples, was more aware than anyone of the relationship between Professor Guo and Elder Luo. However, he too looked at Xiang Beifei with a mournful expression, feeling miserable when he recalled last night's events; his resentment seemed no less than that of Professor Guo.

He now understood why Professor Guo had such a large gripe with Elder Luo.

Students like Xiang Beifei were indeed a rare talent.

Pretending to be a Body Cultivator, everyone in the college really thought he was into Body Cultivation. Change his name, then hold a sword acting as a Sword Cultivator, and suddenly everyone thought a remarkable Sword Cultivator had appeared among the freshmen.

Ye Changfeng's mood last night was like riding a roller coaster—up and down, then seeing Xiang Beifei earn a hundred and twenty points for his club in just a few days, he went up again.

Xiang Beifei asked curiously, "Mr. Ye, did you learn Professor Guo's defense skills?"

"He once asked me if I needed it, but I have my own swordsmanship for defense, which suits me best."

Ye Changfeng was also an SR-level Awakener, awakened with the Supremacy of Ten Thousand Swords system, where each sword had special abilities, inherently not lacking defense skills.

"I see," Xiang Beifei nodded slightly.

"Alright, if you follow Professor Guo to learn defense skills, have to chat with Elder Luo daily, and now I'm forcefully pulling you to be the labor force of the club, I shouldn't make you the class representative, if I assign you any more trivial tasks, you'd probably hate me."

"Hate is a strong word, but scores are quite important in school, after all."

Xiang Beifei rather agreed with Ye Changfeng, his nominal senior brother. At least during the initial admissions assessment, Ye Changfeng had made a scene with Yuchi Shen for him and even followed Elder Luo personally to the domain outside the desolate realm to find him.

Just for that alone, Xiang Beifei felt it was necessary to help Ye Changfeng become an associate professor.

There were not many people in the world who truly cared for Xiang Beifei, but Ye Changfeng was certainly one of them.

He asked again, "How many club points are needed to help you become an associate professor?"

Since club points are one of the criteria for assessment of academic titles, Ye Changfeng had met all the other criteria; he just needed one more club point.

"It's still a long way off!" Ye Changfeng shook his head helplessly, "To be assessed as an associate professor, you at least need to push the student club you lead into the top ten. Do you know how many points the top ten clubs had last semester?"

"Tell me, no matter how high the points are, I can handle it," Xiang Beifei said calmly.

"Last semester, the tenth place had 29,876 points. The first place was Yuchi Shen's Cold Sha club with 52,463 points, and Leisure Clouds and Wild Cranes was at negative 256."

"..."

Xiang Beifei thought he was calm, but then he realized something was amiss.

Last year, Mr. Ye wasn't at the school, and the students in the club he was responsible for were so indulgent that they managed to lose points to such a disastrous extent.

The tenth place was nearly thirty thousand, and their club's points were actually negative!

Were the students of this club continuously losing?

"So, does the score reset to zero at the start of each semester?"

"Not exactly, it just subtracts the last digit," Ye Changfeng said.

This means the current tenth place has 2,987 points, first place has 5,246 points, and Leisure Clouds and Wild Cranes is at negative 25 points. Currently, Xiang Beifei has scored 120 points, so Leisure Clouds and Wild Cranes' score has already risen to 95 points; it's just that the total score hasn't been updated yet.

"But Mr. Ye, you need to recruit more people! If we follow this trend, we need to amass at least ten thousand points each semester to squeeze into the top ten. You can't expect me to shoulder it all alone, can you?"

Xiang Beifei can score a maximum of thirty points a day in the combat arena, which adds up to only three thousand points in a hundred days; it's like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water, and he can't go every day.

"I'm doing my best! But as you know, last year Leisure Clouds and Wild Cranes ranked terribly low, such a dismal rank isn't attracting new students, and the old students scorn joining. I'm quite helpless these days. Do you have any excellent candidates to recommend?" Ye Changfeng said with a headache.

The insignia of Leisure Clouds and Wild Cranes, languishing at the bottom, really has no appeal to new students. Those with great talents, who could contribute to the club, are snatched up by other higher-ranked clubs. There's no chance for them.

And students with lower talents, once recruited into the club and sent to the combat arena, would lose and even cost points. It was truly miserable.

Ye Changfeng was trying hard to recruit members, but unfortunately, being away from school for the entire past academic year had greatly tarnished his reputation. When others heard that his club had scored negative 256 points last year, nobody wanted to join.

"I can bring in two people, but I don't know anyone else," Xiang Beifei said.

"Are they your dorm's SR?" Ye Changfeng asked.

"No, two Grade-S Awakeners, whom I trust. One is a freshman, a close brother of mine. The other is a sophomore girl, you could say my childhood friend, with exceptional combat skills." Xiang Beifei was planning to pull Lu Zhiwei and Kong Xiuwen into it.

Lu Zhiwei is actually very strong; she just doesn't show off in front of Xiang Beifei. It was good timing since she mentioned leaving her previous group, so it was a perfect opportunity to bring her over.

Although Kong Xiuwen's cultivation isn't high, Xiang Beifei definitely wanted to look after this best friend he had grown up with. Kong Xiuwen didn't know about Xiang Beifei's capabilities and was always thinking of using his Grade-S system abilities to protect Xiang Beifei, a Grade-N, from being bullied. Xiang Beifei had to pull his cultivation up.

"Okay," Ye Changfeng nodded.

"Besides fighting in the arena, are there any other ways to quickly accumulate points? Preferably methods that offer more points. Scoring only 30 points a day in the arena is too stingy."

"Then you'll have to take on missions. There's a bunch listed on the mission board. Points act as currency among students, allowing for bounties to be placed. Teachers also post tasks for students to help find special desolate beasts from the outer domains as teaching tools. Would you like to try?" Ye Changfeng asked.
