When system cheat becomes rampant!

```

"Where is my Purgatory Armor?" Yuchi Shen's face changed color!

[Host has already used it. Current Purgatory Armor count: 2]

The system provided the reminder in an excessively warm tone.

"Impossible! When have I ever used it?"

Yuchi Shen looked very shocked!

[Host has already used it. Current Purgatory Armor count: 2]

The system provided the reminder in an excessively warm tone.

"Damn it! What went wrong?"

Yuchi Shen clenched his fist—he had definitely not used any, and yet, something from his own system just disappeared without a trace?

Was there an error in the system?

[Assessing the system...]

[Assessment complete, no errors found]

How could this be?

Yuchi Shen immediately rechecked where the error with the appearance of the Purgatory Armor might be, flipped through the system log, and found that his memory seemed accurate; the reward had vanished inexplicably.

There was only one possibility!

Someone had intercepted it!

"Who? Who has the power to forcibly take away my SR-grade system reward?"

Yuchi Shen was a university teacher and knew more about the system's features than anyone else.

"When were the remaining two Purgatory Armors obtained? Help me calculate the time," said Yuchi Shen.

[The first Purgatory Armor, obtained on August 1. The second Purgatory Armor: September 6. The third Purgatory Armor, October 11]

[Today, the host has used the Purgatory Armor received on "October 11"]

He used the most recently acquired Purgatory Armor today?

"Is it the SSR or UR-grade monsters in the alliance? Did they tamper with my memory?"

Yuchi Shen, holding a position in the school's Academic Affairs Office, often dealt with high-level Awakeners within the alliance. This month, he had encountered SSR members of the alliance no less than five times, a few of whom had even stronger cultivations than him.

If someone with higher cultivation and a more powerful system had used some ability on him and then made him forcibly forget giving away the Purgatory Armor, it wasn't impossible!

Detestable! To dare meddle with me!

Unforgivable!

Yuchi Shen clenched his fist, looking extremely angry.

Xiang Beifei weighed the Purgatory Armor in his hands.

Hmm, not bad.

It's a pity that the spiritual power crystal contained within the Purgatory Armor could only be considered mid-level Meridian Opening.

Because it was just an additional reward brought about by the fifty thousand system points and not the main task's reward.

The main task's reward was that Divine Spirit Pill!

That was truly an item of the God Refining phase!

The power of system items depended on the user's cultivation level, so for Yuchi Shen, this Purgatory Armor could allow him to ignore attacks for ten seconds at the mid-level of God Refining and be invincible for ten minutes below that phase.

But for Xiang Beifei, it would only work during the Meridian Opening phase!

However, that was also quite good. To be invincible for ten minutes during the Meridian Opening phase, what was there to fear with such an item?

Xiang Beifei suddenly felt that Yuchi Shen's strength should not be underestimated.

Because when he fought others of the same realm, with the Purgatory Armor, he could ignore any attack of the same realm for ten seconds and also had the Blade of the Seven Sins as support. Once someone was judged guilty, it would be difficult for anyone of the same realm to defeat him!

Even at the later stages of God Refining, he might not necessarily lose.

Yuchi Shen's Seven Sins Absolute Blade was extremely powerful.

Especially since this blade could also be used against desolate beasts! Desolate beasts could also be judged to have the seven sins.

"So now, should I fuse it or keep it?"

That was the question.

After considering his options, Xiang Beifei decided to keep it for now, just in case.

```

If he wanted to light up a constellation and obtain new abilities, he could consider hunting for Beast Pills from beasts at the Meridian Opening stage; he didn't necessarily have to use the Purgatory Armor.

Xiang Beifei tossed the Purgatory Armor back into Xiaohei's bubble. At this moment, his phone rang. Picking it up, he saw that it was Ye Changfeng calling.

"Hello, Beifei, you're not cultivating, are you?" Ye Changfeng's voice sounded very serious.

"No, I'm sunbathing on the playground lawn. What's up?"

"There's some trouble."

Ye Changfeng's voice abruptly appeared behind Xiang Beifei.

Xiang Beifei then realized that Ye Changfeng hadn't even hung up the phone and had found him in an instant.

Having the ability to teleport through space sure is nice.

From making a phone call to finding him on the playground, it took Ye Changfeng almost only five seconds.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Beifei turned around and asked.

Ye Changfeng hung up the phone and then said, "This is a bit troublesome. Let's go and consult with Elder Luo, come on."

He grabbed Xiang Beifei's arm, took a step, merged into space, and directly took Xiang Beifei to the small woods by the lake at Liangzhou University.

"Can I teleport like you?" Xiang Beifei was quite envious of this ability.

"That's one of my swords. Teleporting consumes a lot of spiritual power; don't try it without being at the God Refining level."

Ye Changfeng walked deeper into the woods.

But the deeper they went, the more it seemed that the woods ahead were no longer woods, but had unknowingly turned into a vast grassland!

"Soar freely in your heart..."

Elder Luo was leisurely lying on a deck chair in the grassland, humming a tune that inadvertently drew Xiang Beifei in as he listened.

"Damn! Not again!"

Xiang Beifei quickly concentrated, blocking out the song.

He thought Principal Cao Pei's speech at the opening ceremony was quite influential, but compared to SSR awakener Cao Pei and Elder Luo, Cao Pei's speech was just child's play!

"Elder Luo, stop singing, or the carp in the lake are going to have a breakdown!" Ye Changfeng shouted, covering his ears.

He was all too familiar with Elder Luo. He had covered his ears as soon as he came in, probably having been tricked many times before, knowing to act immediately.

"What's the matter! I'm in the middle of singing!"

Elder Luo stopped humming, and the vast grassland around them gradually faded, turning back into the woods.

Ye Changfeng approached and said with a stern face, "You truly have no idea what's going on, right?"

"What's up?" Elder Luo asked, legs crossed.

Xiang Beifei spotted sunflower seeds on the table and quickly ran over to grab a handful.

This was good stuff; it was thanks to Elder Luo's sunflower seeds that he had been able to break through to the Meridian Opening stage.

Ye Changfeng seriously moved a chair over and sat down, saying, "You're aware of the freshmen competition among the nine elite schools in December each year, right?"

"Oh right, isn't that next month? It's only November now!" Elder Luo inquired.

"But the roster must be confirmed now! Then training will follow. I just attended a teachers' meeting, and Principal Cao is very dissatisfied with this year's situation, especially pointing the finger at Xiang Beifei." Ye Changfeng explained.

"Me?"

Xiang Beifei was sitting beside Elder Luo, cracking sunflower seeds, suddenly brought up, and a bit puzzled.

"Yes, you!"

Ye Changfeng looked at Xiang Beifei and said, "The nine elite schools hold an inter-school freshmen exchange competition every year, claiming it's a contest, but it's really just to see which school's freshmen are more outstanding. Tell me, who do you think usually gets sent to participate in such exchanges?"

Xiang Beifei thought for a moment and said, "Those with high cultivation levels?"

"Exactly!"

Ye Changfeng said gravely, "Each school selects five freshmen based on the scale of pioneers. These five need to participate in a series of contests; the higher their cultivation level, the greater the chance of winning! Think about it, what kind of new students have the highest cultivation levels?"

Xiang Beifei seemed to get it: "SSR Awakeners."

A pioneer team generally requires five people, so for the freshmen competition, five will suffice. Having an SSR in the team greatly increases the likelihood of victory!

"Correct, any SSR Awakener can generally enter the Meridian Opening stage within half a year starting from their awakening, which means they're likely close to reaching it now, if they haven't already. Meanwhile, SR-level awakeners, in half a year, can at most reach the late stages of Qi-Controlling!"

Ye Changfeng sighed helplessly and continued, "However, you probably all know this year's situation. Our school doesn't have any SSRs!"

There were originally two SSR freshmen supposed to come to Liangzhou University, but because of the university's decision to accept N-level new students, recruitment teachers from other schools had the chance to slander Liangzhou University, luring away those two SSR freshmen.

This led to a very serious situation.

In the freshmen competition, only Liangzhou University lacked students at the Meridian Opening stage.
