When system cheat becomes rampant!

The N-level student spoke with reason and composure, clearly very smart yet feigning ignorance to counterattack. Xiang Beifei knew this, but just couldn't find an excuse to blow up.

Whereas his own SSR student, Hou Chengwu, spoke without any logic, only knew how to shout and scream, became frustrated and angry, and in the end, even got intimidated.

Comparing the two, Ren Jianghai felt as if he had picked up an SSR student who was more like a simpleton!

——

Hou Chengwu was still there, worrying and frightened, Ren Jianghai pulled him impatiently behind himself, then coldly said, "But since you understand that strength is the most important for a Martial Arts College student, I hope you won't disappoint us during the competition on the stage."

Being pulled by Ren Jianghai like that also snapped Hou Chengwu back to reality. He cursed himself for a fool for having been scared. Now that he was a Qingzhou University student, Ren Jianghai would naturally protect his own, and that Professor Luo surely wouldn't dare to touch him.

He could completely crush that N-level trash under his feet during the freshmen competition!

But he still glanced at Professor Luo cautiously, feeling very uncertain in his heart.

Did this old man really kill SSRs that didn't follow the rules?

Doesn't he know that SSRs are very rare?

Elder Luo said nonchalantly from the side, "Ren Jianghai, what are you whining about? Is this the hospitality of Qingzhou University? Leaving us hanging at the school gate, spouting a bunch of nonsense? Qingzhou University really is welcoming!"

Ren Jianghai couldn't say much in response. Although he looked down on Liangzhou University's team on the surface, they were still guests after all and he couldn't risk offending them, so he forced a smile and said, "My apologies, please come with me, we've already arranged accommodations for you, this way please."

Ren Jianghai purposefully took them to the school's guesthouse. Despite his disdain and mocking, the place provided for the visitors was very attentive.

In the university, there was normally a large guesthouse used as an academic exchange center, with the rooms well-prepared without any differential treatment.

As the dean of Qingzhou University's Martial Arts College, Ren Jianghai still had a sense of propriety. As teams from elite universities, one could not afford to favor one over the other and tarnish the reputation of the host.

Of course, the main reason was the fear of being beaten up by Professor Luo.

"By the way, Dean Wei, not all the other brother schools have arrived completely. After everyone has arrived tonight, we need to have a meeting to discuss the specifics of tomorrow's competition, and we will need you to attend on time," said Ren Jianghai.

"Certainly."

Wei Tong pondered slightly. He looked at Ren Jianghai and then at Xiang Beifei. Xiang Beifei's performance just now did not please him much, nor did it bring him any pride.

——

After Ren Jianghai finished speaking, he took Hou Chengwu and left the school's guesthouse.

On the way back, Hou Chengwu was still seething with resentment, saying, "Professor, that N-level Awakener was so rude, are we just going to let it go?"

"If you didn't want to let it go, why didn't you retort just now?" Ren Jianghai retorted.

"I..."

Hou Chengwu was at a loss for words, he hadn't thought of how to reply to Xiang Beifei's questioning just now, his systemic abilities hadn't taught him how to handle social interactions.

After a moment, Hou Chengwu clenched his teeth and said, "Dean, during tomorrow's individual competition, when Qingzhou University is up against Liangzhou University, can you let me go on stage? I can't bear this humiliation! I want to crush Liangzhou University thoroughly!"

During the individual competition, each school would only face off once, and Qingzhou University was bound to encounter Liangzhou University, but who to send on stage had not been fully determined yet, as it needed to be analyzed on the spot tomorrow.

"Whether the competition will be in the Meridian Opening or Qi-Controlling stages has not been decided, and they may not necessarily send that Xiang Beifei. From the information we've gathered, he is said to be a Body Cultivator and unbeatable among the freshmen of Liangzhou University. Such a person is certainly reserved for weaker schools than using him against us at Qingzhou University," said Ren Jianghai.

In the battles between schools, considering the opponent was crucial. Qingzhou University had two unparalleled SSRs in strength. If Liangzhou University were to face Qingzhou University and the dice rolled for a Meridian Opening stage competition, he believed that if Liangzhou University were wise, they would concede.

"It doesn't matter who they send. If it's the Meridian Opening stage, I must go on stage and humiliate them thoroughly, to vent your frustration!" Hou Chengwu clenched his fists.

Rather than venting for Ren Jianghai, it was more about proving himself. He had rejected the invitation from Liangzhou University to join Qingzhou University, and naturally, he needed to show everyone that his choice was correct.

So he must face Liangzhou University!

Ren Jianghai pondered for a moment, considering that Hou Chengwu's current strength was at the early stage of Meridian Opening, which was more than enough to deal with a group of Liangzhou University students with a maximum cultivation of late-stage Qi-Controlling. He then nodded slightly and said, "Alright, if there's a chance, I'll let you go up against the students from Liang University."

After a pause, he snorted coldly, "Don't hold back!"

"Understood."

Hou Chengwu sneered.

What he most hoped for now was that Liangzhou University would send Xiang Beifei, so he could thoroughly humiliate him!

——

——

Everyone else went back to their rooms, but Elder Luo hummed a tune all the way to Xiang Beifei's room and pushed the door open.

"Good lad, that was really satisfying to see! Just look at Ren Jianghai's sour face, hahaha!"

Elder Luo's happiness unfolded all his wrinkles. He had thought that owing to Liangzhou University not having any SSR students, he would have to endure Ren Jianghai's snide mockery again today, but he didn't expect Xiang Beifei to be so bold as to talk back without any courtesy.

And to use Ren Jianghai's own words to counter him no less, leaving Ren Jianghai wanting to explode but unable to!

Xiang Beifei spread his hands and said, "I did say last time that I would stand up for you."

"Hahaha, right! Just like that, if someone displeases you, give it to them straight! From now on, I've decided to call him 'throw into the sea'!"

Elder Luo was straightforward by nature and had long been irked by Ren Jianghai. Every year, the students Ren Jianghai brought out were able to defeat those from Liangzhou University, leaving Elder Luo grinding his teeth in frustration, not knowing how to respond.

But today, Xiang Beifei had taught him exactly how to confront such people who enjoyed being passive-aggressive.

"You should still take it easy. Every time you call him 'throw into the sea,' he'll grow another grudge against Xiang Beifei."

At that moment, Ye Changfeng walked in from outside, closed the door, and gave a friendly reminder.

Elder Luo glared. To him, Ye Changfeng's words sounded like a buzzkill.

After a moment's pause, he suddenly remembered something, stopped, and asked seriously, "If I don't call him 'throw into the sea,' you think he'd regard our Beifei any more highly?"

Ye Changfeng hesitated for a moment and then said, "That wouldn't happen—"

"Then why should I be polite to him?" Elder Luo retorted.

Ye Changfeng: "..."

Why did Elder Luo's way of speaking sound so familiar?

Soon, Ye Changfeng suddenly remembered. Back when Xiang Beifei was taking the entrance exam, Ye Changfeng had told him that he should still be a bit nicer to Yuchi Shen.

And then Xiang Beifei responded in just this way.

Unexpectedly, Elder Luo directly picked it up.

"You sure pick things up quickly!" Ye Changfeng said, rubbing his forehead with a headache.

Out of all things to learn, he had to pick up such nonsensical talk.

At his age, still not acting with propriety.

"Hahaha, I've found this kid's way of speaking quite interesting. Learning it, I can absolutely infuriate a bunch of people!" Elder Luo was extremely cheerful.

Xiang Beifei laughed as well.

"Great, now I am the outsider."

Ye Changfeng helplessly adjusted his glasses.

In their Leisure Clouds and Wild Cranes group, neither the master nor the junior brother was particularly proper, but as the senior brother, Ye Changfeng knew he had to keep things in check.

There had to be one level-headed person to back them up.

—He really worried about those two.

Ye Changfeng was full of sentiment.

"However, Hou Chengwu is still an SSR after all. He may be arrogant, but he's got genuine strength; you can't underestimate him."

Ye Changfeng handed the information he had collected about Hou Chengwu to Xiang Beifei and said, "If you face Qingzhou University, and it comes down to a Meridian Opening level competition, nine out of ten times your opponent will be him. You should get to know him well in advance."

Get to know?

Xiang Beifei glanced at Xiaohei on his shoulder.

He knew him all too well, everything was clear including the free shipping instruction manual.

If it hadn't been for the presence of too many big shots just now, making a move too conspicuously, and the risk of immediately raising suspicion towards Liangzhou University, Xiaohei would have gone to pick up the 'delivery' already.

But even now, they couldn't, in case Hou Chengwu realized something was amiss and decided not to show up for the match.

After all, he had to beat him up on stage first.
