When system cheat becomes rampant!

"You've worked hard," Xiang Beifei said.

Huang Yuwen laughed, "Haha, not too bad. We have the high ground, merely guarding this place. These desolate beasts are not that strong. We sometimes even hold hunting competitions to kill them for fun. As long as it's not a large-scale beast tide, there's no need to worry too much."

An Xiyu said, "There are more than a hundred desolate beasts here. I checked at noon, and the variety of species was quite complete. It was a good opportunity for practical teaching, which is why I asked the senior to help guard."

"Alright then, you students go ahead and learn! I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."

With a smile, Huang Yuwen turned to Xiang Beifei and said, "You work hard too. An Xiyu is a very talented genius. Follow her and learn well, it won't be wrong."

He left quickly.

An Xiyu placed her hand on the crenel of the city wall, and the crenel shimmered with light, beginning to scan them. After confirming their identities, the bricks under their feet started to float up automatically, forming a small Beacon Tower around them.

Standing on the Beacon Tower, they left the city top and began to descend toward the wilderness outside the domain. It functioned like an elevator, but the Beacon Tower was attached to the city wall. If danger approached, it could instantly pull them into the safety of the walls.

It stopped when it was twenty meters above the ground.

An Xiyu looked at Xiang Beifei and said, "With so many desolate beasts, it's impossible for someone in the late Qi-Controlling stage to kill them all. So at this time, you need teammates to help. Normally, at least four or five people work together."

"It seems you didn't bring any other classmates," Xiang Beifei commented.

"That's because they are all freshmen, they have never experienced the wilderness outside the domain, and can only attend simulated classes. However, the professor said you needed to come here to learn," An Xiyu explained.

Xiang Beifei's classmates were basically only in the early stages of Qi-Controlling; such strength was hardly enough for this place, and they were only suited for simulated classes. The simulations were very realistic, but even if attacked by desolate beasts and torn apart, they wouldn't lose their lives, which inadvertently lessens their sense of crisis.

"You've only been to the wilderness outside the domain once, and that area was prearranged by Mr. Yuchi. However, the beast tide here is not that simple. Over a hundred assaulting at once is not something you can handle alone, so don't be overconfident," An Xiyu said earnestly.

"Do you think last time was prearranged by Mr. Yuchi?" Xiang Beifei inquired.

"He sent you to the swamp of the Three Souls Desolate Snake."

"Then can you tell me how the Triangular Thunder Krait appeared?" Xiang Beifei retorted.

An Xiyu frowned slightly.

"I'm not interested in prying into past matters, no matter what everyone says. When you defeated the Triangular Thunder Krait, I think it involved some luck. But the quantity of this beast tide far exceeds what you have faced before and is much harder to deal with. You'd better understand this!" An Xiyu stated coldly.

"Luck? Your eyesight is really 'good,'" Xiang Beifei responded indifferently.

An Xiyu spoke gravely, "Real combat is different from the trap theory we just discussed! Be serious!"

"Real combat, you say?"

Xiang Beifei surveyed the hundred or so desolate beasts before him. These beasts were mostly common and not very powerful, with only a dozen or so in the late Qi-Controlling stage and the rest in the early and mid-stages.

Last time, he even slaughtered the crying tentacle monster, which was equivalent in strength to the Meridian Opening stage. So why would he fear these creatures?

An Xiyu, unaware that Xiang Beifei had already visited the City of the Old Days, continued,

"When facing a beast tide attacking a city, there's no need to panic. You first need to distinguish the types of desolate beasts clearly, and then use the manpower around you to give commands effectively. The abilities of desolate beasts and Awakeners actually counteract each other. Some desolate beasts' abilities are specifically adept at countering certain defenders, so at that moment, you must manage your subordinates and ensure that Awakeners who are countered by desolate beasts team up with those who can counteract the beasts. Only with rational pairing can we minimize casualties."

"Introduction to Defense of Jiuzhou" is a course designed to train defenders. As the class representative, you are equivalent to a small team leader of the defenders. Other students in the class need to resist the desolate beasts' assault under the command of the class representative.

"I've come alone, so is my mission today to kill these desolate beasts?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"I said, I didn't ask you to show off!"

An Xiyu said indifferently, "You are just a body cultivator and absolutely don't have the ability to handle so many desolate beasts on your own! Just follow my commands, and I'll teach you how to identify the weaknesses of desolate beasts, how to kill different types, and you just need to learn from me! I'll tell you which desolate beast to kill, and you'll go kill that one!"

An Xiyu was very impolite to Xiang Beifei, perhaps because he had just pointed out a mistake in her trap setup, which made her feel unconvinced. However, her strength was a whole major realm above Xiang Beifei's, so in her eyes, she was indeed qualified to teach him these things.

Xiang Beifei looked at An Xiyu but didn't say anything.

"Now, come down with me. You'll stay close to me to avoid any trouble. You've only been learning for a month, and you can't fully comprehend so many desolate beasts yet, but I will teach you."

An Xiyu stepped onto the edge of the Beacon Tower's battlements, leapt gracefully, and landed among the crowd of desolate beasts below.

Xiang Beifei didn't speak. He followed and leapt down, quickly joining her amid the desolate beasts.

The desolate beasts, originally furiously attacking the city walls, roared as they saw An Xiyu and Xiang Beifei descending and charged toward them.

"Stay close to me, don't fall behind."

Although An Xiyu was displeased with Xiang Beifei, she was quite responsible, standing by his side, always watching him. She wasn't there to test him, but to teach him.

A giant black chimpanzee charged from behind; An Xiyu waved her hand and a concentrated burst of spiritual power transformed into a sonic wave, wrapping around the chimpanzee's neck and lifting it into the air, she said, "This is a Double-life Ape, late Qi-Controlling stage, it has two hearts, not so easy to kill. If you encounter one, the best-suited System Awakener to handle it would be..."

Bang!

Xiang Beifei directly punched, his fist wind turned into a violent gust, blasting the head of the Double-life Ape into a mist of blood.

"Just smash its head, no need for all that fancy stuff," Xiang Beifei said straightforwardly.

"You—"

An Xiyu was also stunned. She hadn't expected Xiang Beifei to be so domineering, killing the Double-life Ape with a single punch!

Although such a beast was no big deal for her, Xiang Beifei was after all just a Qi-Controlling newbie. The Double-life Ape had strong defenses, yet it was obliterated just like that?

"Let's not waste time, quick resolution!" said Xiang Beifei.

An Xiyu looked somewhat angry. She raised her voice and said, "I told you to come here to learn and understand the weaknesses of every desolate beast so that on the battlefield, you could command your classmates to deal with them! You have the power to directly smash their heads, but have you considered whether your classmates have that ability? Are they also supposed to smash their heads like you? What I want is for you to know the weaknesses of every desolate beast, and then teach your classmates how to kill them!"

"Weaknesses, huh?"

Xiang Beifei scanned the desolate beasts around him, then in a flash, dashed out—

Boom!

He wielded breath soil, shaping it into all sorts of lethal weapons, while his figure nimbly darted among the desolate beast crowd.

How these beasts would attack, from which direction they'd come, whether they would spit fireballs or ice spikes, he saw it all clear as day; he moved like a wraith, flitting through the throng.

He pierced the raging Earth Dragon's snout with his breath soil; a thick earthworm was defeated by his punch to its body segments, collapsing right on the spot. A two-meter-long wasp had its tail sliced off; a one-meter wide meaty beast had a hole punctured under its scale armor, deflating like punctured leather...

He was no longer the ignorant newbie from the entrance assessment over a month ago. During the summer vacation, while studying with Elder Luo, he had taken the time to read about many desolate beasts, thoroughly understanding their weaknesses and how to kill them.

Therefore, Xiang Beifei didn't need to think at all or even exchange blows. One glance was enough for him to have his strategy in mind, with swift and precise strikes. In just five minutes, he had already taken down more than half of the desolate beasts!
