When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 175: The Buffer Zone of the Defense Perimeter



Before he knew it, Xiang Beifei had already spent a month at the school.

Throughout this month, aside from attending classes, he was cultivating.

The first month of freshman year was all about theoretical classes, meaning they had not yet had any practical experience and needed a solid foundation in theoretical knowledge before attending simulation classes.

Possibly with the exception of Xiang Beifei.

He had already gone to the outer domain wilderness with Sun Yushan and the others.

But since the first trip there, Ye Changfeng had not let him go back to the outer domain wilderness to undertake missions, citing no need to wander around for the sake of a few points. Xiang Beifei didn't think too much about it; with three new members in the club, Leisure Clouds and Wild Cranes was no longer just him pushing forward.

Lu Zhiwei, as a newcomer to the club, was no novice. Possessing late-stage Qi-Controlling strength, her battles on stage were incredibly brutal, where she seldom came out at a disadvantage. In any form of combat, she relied on her fists to dominate, rarely even using her firearms, managing to max out at thirty points every evening.

Li Zimu, while a freshman, was a SR-level Awakener. Usually quiet and bookish, even when on stage he seemed like someone easy to bully.

But if anyone really saw him that way, they would be sorely mistaken. Every move he made was a direct "Poetic Kill," with Chaotic Stone Piercing Sky, blasting his opponents off the stage with stones, leaving them clueless about where those stones had come from as they met their end.

He had yet to lose a match.

Not one SR-level Awakener should be underestimated. Even if Li Zimu wasn't a match for Xiang Beifei, he had more than enough to handle other late-stage Qi-Controlling opponents.

Kong Xiuwen hadn't gone on stage because losing would deduct points from the club, and his cultivation wasn't sufficient yet, so he forced himself to practice every day. Perhaps spurred by Xiang Beifei's strength, he would often lock himself in the training room for an entire day at a time.

At the end of the first month, when the total points were tallied, the Leisure Clouds and Wild Cranes club finally saw improvement, reaching a total of 2965 points!

In the combat arena, each person could only earn a maximum of thirty points per day. The three of them were punctual in securing their thirty points daily, amassing 2700 points in a month, then deducting the negatives and adding the contributions made by Fan Kai and Sun Yushan, they had pleasant results.

Fan Kai and Sun Yushan usually spent most of their time in the outer domain wilderness and rarely participated in combat arena matches. Nevertheless, by completing the bounty missions on the task list, they could also earn points for the club, albeit in smaller amounts.

At the start of the first month, the "Leisure Clouds and Wild Cranes" club, originally ranked ninety-ninth, had made a successful leap to the twenty-ninth position!

"Push on, comrades! I see hope!"

Ye Changfeng was in his office, giving them encouragement, which for him was extremely good news.

Although the club currently ranked tenth, "Kaitian," had 4586 points, this was because they had accumulated over two thousand from the previous year.

Their club also had a significantly larger roster, with at least twenty members, all of whom were quite strong, but in the past month, they had only managed to earn an additional one thousand five hundred points, which was far less than their two thousand seven hundred!

This meant that the majority of the tenth place club members were freshmen, who could not yet participate in the combat arena. Besides, the sophomore upperclassmen did not win every match.

Given this trend, catching up to the tenth position in a few months seemed possible.

"Indeed, it's like finding a treasure."

Ye Changfeng was satisfied with the new members of the club. He didn't have high demands; by the end of next year, he only wished for the club to be in the top ten.

"I also want to hold a challenge match, but unfortunately, I am not guaranteed to win and might easily encounter Xiang Beifei, which wouldn't be worth it," Lu Zhiwei said with a hint of regret.

On any given evening, there can be only one challenge match, meaning once someone holds a challenge, the rest cannot hold their own but must instead challenge the existing one.

Throughout the month, the battle arena was practically dominated by Xiang Beifei's challenges. His reputation as a Sword Cultivator was too intimidating, and for several days in a row, no one dared to challenge him.

Therefore, Xiang Beifei would sit on the stage every evening, and if no one challenged him after an hour, he would leave.

"No worries, just participate in the random sparring; it's fine for someone as lively as you," Ye Changfeng said with a laugh.

Random sparring could also lead to encountering one's own club members, but since their club only had three members and there were hundreds of students competing each night, the chances of encountering a teammate were slim, and it hadn't happened so far.

Xiang Beifei was contemplating something. He felt that with his current progress in cultivation, it seemed possible to break through to the Meridian Opening phase in another two months.

Once he reached the Meridian Opening phase, he wouldn't be able to "fish" in the Qi-Controlling group of the combat arena anymore and would have to move up to the Meridian Opening group.

But matches in the Meridian Opening group were rare; there hadn't been a single one this month!

Almost all students who achieved Meridian Opening were in their third or fourth year and hardly came to the combat arena anymore, busy with matters of graduation and having already accumulated plenty of points.

So if Xiang Beifei reached the Meridian Opening phase, that would mean he might have no matches to fight, let alone hold a challenge match. The rules for holding a challenge in the Meridian Opening group required a minimum number of participants.

Ye Changfeng hadn't thought about this issue. In his view, Xiang Beifei's progression into the Meridian Opening phase would be a matter for next semester at the earliest, by which time the points would likely be almost secure.

"Forget it, I'll wait until I've actually reached the Meridian Opening phase before I worry about it," Xiang Beifei decided not to dwell on that concern for now.
