When system cheat becomes rampant!

Both of them continued to advance along the mountain path by the side of the canyon. Because there were many traps in the canyon, they didn't really use their Spiritual Power, relying instead on the path to move forward.

This bit of turbulence was nothing to cultivators, and both An Xiyu and Xiang Beifei moved as if on flat ground. However, when they passed a protruding rock, Xiang Beifei suddenly let out a soft "hmm?" and then smiled, "It turns out that even someone as diligent as you can make a mistake."

"What are you talking about?"

An Xiyu stopped in her tracks, looking at Xiang Beifei with a cold demeanor.

"I'm talking about the traps you've set."

Xiang Beifei stepped on an inconspicuous tree root on the ground and said, "On the way here, I've been observing. The traps over there are not much of an issue, but there's a flaw in the traps over here."

An Xiyu's gaze darkened slightly, "You don't have the right to judge my work."

"Even if it's a mistake, others are not allowed to point it out?" Xiang Beifei asked.

An Xiyu frowned deeply, her gaze swept around the woods, her mind slightly calculating the operation of these traps, but she didn't notice the so-called flaw.

After confirming that there was no mistake, An Xiyu said, "I hate people who pretend to understand when they don't."

Xiang Beifei pointed to the tree root on the ground and said:

"There's a Wood Attribute trap hidden in this tree root; it's probably meant to entangle Earth Attribute desolate beasts. If I'm not mistaken, you intended to use it against the Burrowing Beast, but you overlooked the existence of the Earth Dragon, which can also trigger this trap, and once it does, the Stone Binding Trap on the other side will be rendered ineffective."

Xiang Beifei pointed towards a row of sharp stones protruding from the underbrush and said, "These Stone Binding Traps are meant for the Burrowing Beast. You placed a spatial sphere there to drag the Burrowing Beast into it and grind it up, but the Earth Dragon can sniff out things with space abilities, and it would directly destroy the spatial sphere."

An Xiyu stared at the row of sharp stones, lost in thought for a moment, then her gaze flickered slightly.

Because she realized that Xiang Beifei was right! She indeed had overlooked this error; the traps could be triggered, but the problem was that she hadn't considered all possible types of desolate beasts.

The canyon was vast, and to serve as a qualified buffer zone, at least tens of thousands of traps had been laid out here.

Such a large number of traps will have minor mishaps, which is normal.

But soon, An Xiyu was very surprised in her heart!

How did Xiang Beifei find the small mistake she'd made?

Was it a coincidence?

Or...

Xiang Beifei walked over to the tree root, measured the distance, then stepped on the ground and said, "If it were me, I'd add an Earth Dragon Disruptor here to maximize the shielding of the Earth Dragon's sense of smell, so that both the Earth Dragon and the Burrowing Beast would be grinded up by this trap!"

He also pointed at a nearby tree branch and said, "Also, have you thought about the significance of this tree branch? Professor Guo's textbook mentions a 'Look Before and After Defensive System' he proposed. If you carefully read Professor Guo's defensive papers, you would realize that this tree branch, used for attracting lightning, disrupts the overall connectivity of this area. I happen to have a low-level Thunder Talisman; let's see if I can trigger this defensive trap?"

Xiang Beifei fished out a Thunder Talisman from last time he got from Fan Kai and threw it toward the tree branch above.

An Xiyu saw Xiang Beifei pull out the Thunder Talisman, her complexion changed, and she shouted, "Stop! Do you want to die? It will trigger the traps here, enough to kill you—"

However, Xiang Beifei's Thunder Talisman stuck to the tree branch, thunder flashed, coursing through the branch, but it only made the branch shake a couple of times, and nothing happened.

"Silent Formation."

Xiang Beifei looked at An Xiyu calmly.

An Xiyu was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"How do you know about Professor Guo's 'Look Before and After Defensive System'?" she asked.

"There are many defensive papers by Professor Guo on the school network. His papers are much more profound and practical than the textbook. He mentioned it in the last class, so I went and read them," Xiang Beifei said.

Professor Guo had dedicated his life to the job of "Guardian," specifically researching all kinds of techniques to defend against beast tides. He had summarized many experiences and then published these theories on the school network for students to reference.

His theories were quite practical; when Professor Guo mentioned his papers on the school network in the last class, Xiang Beifei took it seriously and looked them up, realizing just how much of a defensive genius Professor Guo truly was!

Elder Luo had said before, within all of Jiuzhou, there were no more than three people who could match Professor Guo's understanding of defending against beast tides.

Unfortunately, Professor Guo's defensive papers had pitifully low views on the school network, not even reaching five hundred clicks. Students were simply not interested. But Xiang Beifei downloaded that knowledge, read it thoroughly and gained a lot from it.

He was well aware that having a defense expert like Professor Guo in Jiuzhou was a fortunate matter.

"You understand those papers?"

An Xiyu seemed quite surprised because those papers were considered quite abstruse, and a freshman student wouldn't be expected to understand them.

Xiang Beifei gave An Xiyu a glance, not bothering to explain much, and just said, "This tree branch needs to be moved three inches to the left to trigger the lightning strike traps in the entire area."

After speaking, he didn't pay any more attention to An Xiyu and continued along the path on his own.
