When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 216: Traces of Time_2



"This guy's got some moves!"

Xiang Beifei slightly furrowed his brows.

Strictly speaking, Xiang Beifei had not bothered to remember the exact position on the arena from where he had attacked Hou Chengwu. Since it was his first encounter with Chen Baiwen and he was unaware of Chen's abilities, he had not paid attention to his positioning.

Chen Baiwen, however, could see the remnants of time left behind, which made his own positioning very tricky. When Xiang Beifei approached, Chen seized the opportunity to replicate Xiang Beifei's attack, using Xiang Beifei's own punches against him.

[You've replicated Xiang Beifei's attack, Sands of Time +50]

This reminder appeared on Chen Baiwen's system interface.

"This was just an appetizer!"

Chen Baiwen snorted coldly and waved his hand again!

Whoom!

Attacks of all sorts emerged from all directions, sandstorms, razor-sharp winds, blinding flying knives, powerful sound waves, sharp wooden spikes...

In an instant, Xiang Beifei was completely overwhelmed by the countless attacks.

From the current perspective, Chen Baiwen might not necessarily win in a head-to-head confrontation with Xiang Beifei, but the problem was that he didn't need to engage Xiang Beifei in close combat; he could rely on the residual attacks left by others.

Chen knew exactly the position of countless past attacks on the arena. Virtually every movement Xiang Beifei made forced him to face a myriad of these attacks.

After an initial testing of Xiang Beifei, Chen Baiwen decided not to hold back anymore. He unleashed every attack that had occurred in the arena at every moment, sweeping them all towards Xiang Beifei.

Xiang Beifei was instantly overwhelmed by these attacks, each of which was not particularly strong, but they were numerous.

Xiang Beifei was now effectively being besieged by the abilities of all the contestants who had stood in the arena in the past three hours!

Moreover, these were enhanced Meridian Opening period attacks, as Chen Baiwen's cultivation was stronger than those others!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Countless ox-headed ghosts charged at him, with poisonous smoke and tidal waves accompanying. Chen Baiwen skillfully controlled the interval of each temporal mark. He did not launch attacks one by one but sent them all at once! Even attacks of ice and fire from different times intertwined, erupting with even greater power!

Xiang Beifei's body was already enveloped in flame gales, blocking attacks from all directions, yet no matter where he stood in the arena, he had to face attacks linked to temporal marks!

The only way Xiang Beifei could avoid these attacks was to leave the arena; outside the arena, the attacks were less frequent, and the power of the temporal marks would be significantly reduced!

However, leaving the arena meant defeat.

This was clearly Chen Baiwen's intention!

Boom!

The arena erupted with intense fluctuations, dazzling lights and deafening roars that shook everyone, as powerful attacks intertwined, creating an overwhelmingly dominant scene, whether from sweeping Sword Qi or ferocious blade lights, empowered by Chen Baiwen's manipulation.

Xiang Beifei wanted to get close to Chen Baiwen, but with each step forward, he was blocked by either thunder or blades. To dodge attacks from all directions, he had to keep moving back. Ultimately, he was even forced to retreat to the edge of the arena!

"I told you, your victory over Hou Chengwu was just a fluke. I am no discounted SSR like him!"

Seeing Xiang Beifei darting around the arena, handling all sorts of attacks, Chen Baiwen sneered again.

"Chen Baiwen is really amazing!"

The audience, recognizing many familiar attacks, was also amazed by Chen Baiwen's abilities!

As expected from an SSR-level System Awakener, to the students from Qingzhou University, Chen Baiwen seemed much more powerful than Hou Chengwu from their first bout!

It seemed that no one could withstand Chen Baiwen's terrifying attacks!

This battle captured everyone's attention; almost every spectator was fixated on this bout. Many fighters who had previously taken the stage watched in awe as their own attacks were forcibly merged by Chen Baiwen and reproduced in battle, deeply impressed by Chen's capabilities!

"Too strong! This N-level Xiang Beifei seems to have met his match,"

"Exactly, he doesn't seem as formidable as we imagined."

"Yes, this time Xiang Beifei looks like he's just struggling to cope; he no longer has the ability to stomp Hou Chengwu under his feet like he did earlier."

"Does that mean Chen Baiwen from Yanzhou University is much more formidable than Hou Chengwu?" Find your next read at empire

"Obviously!"

The audience at the venue could see that Hou Chengwu was easily defeated by Xiang Beifei, but Chen Baiwen forced Xiang Beifei into a steady retreat, with no power to fight back. It was clear that Xiang Beifei was not gaining any advantage against Chen Baiwen this time.

For some reason, the students from Qingzhou University at the scene were now feeling very conflicted.

They were secretly hoping Xiang Beifei would defeat Chen Baiwen of Yanzhou University so that Qingzhou University and Yanzhou University would be in the same difficult situation, thus sparing themselves some shame as members of Qingzhou University.

However, when Chen Baiwen had Xiang Beifei under pressure, they inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

An SSR-level student overpowering an N-level student is, after all, the expected norm!

This also indirectly suggested that Xiang Beifei's first fight might have been overestimated, and perhaps he was able to defeat Hou Chengwu only because he knew Hou Chengwu's weaknesses, but obviously he didn't know what Chen Baiwen's weaknesses were, and so he was quickly beaten back to his original form.

Not only the spectators from Qingzhou University but also professors from other schools not yet matched against Liangzhou University were watching this contest; when they saw Xiang Beifei fall behind, those schools' professors breathed a sigh of relief.

A Jizhou University professor looked much more optimistic, "Good, good, this N-level Xiang Beifei isn't as formidable as everyone thought."

The team leader from Yangzhou University also secretly celebrated, "Body cultivation after all is just that, encountering an SSR-level awakener with skill-based abilities like Chen Baiwen is indeed a big disadvantage. Fortunately, our school's SSR is also a skill-based awakener."

The dean of Jingzhou University told his SSR student, "You can breathe easy now, using Chen Baiwen's attack methods, you can definitely suppress Xiang Beifei! Once we face Liangzhou University, boldly go for the Meridian Opening!"

Choose the Meridian Opening!

As Chen Baiwen suppressed Xiang Beifei, nearly defeating him, these schools almost regained their confidence, preparing for their own SSRs to triumphantly assert themselves!

"He won't be in any trouble, right?" Long Guocheng, looking at Xiang Beifei on the stage, couldn't help but speak out.

He had never seen Xiang Beifei at a disadvantage till now.

For some reason, he felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing Xiang Beifei getting beaten and falling behind!

Because in his view, only the future him was qualified to defeat Xiang Beifei.

Before he had defeated Xiang Beifei himself, he disliked seeing Xiang Beifei getting defeated!

"Classmate Xiang Beifei will definitely be fine; he is very powerful," Xi Keyao still firmly said.

She had always had an inexplicable confidence in Xiang Beifei because of the strength he had shown in the foreign wilderness, which impressed Xi Keyao greatly.

Most importantly, every time their team encountered danger, Xiang Beifei was always the first to take care of her. Xiang Beifei's explanation was that she was the only girl and the team's only support awakener, so she must be taken care of.

Xi Keyao really liked having a brother like Xiang Beifei by her side; he made her feel very secure, so she still believed that Xiang Beifei would not lose.

Yuchi Shen had been staring at the stage all this time, from the beginning till now; he had barely spoken a few words, just listening to what Xiang Beifei was saying and then pondering something. Perhaps it was because Elder Luo was present or for some other reason, but he had even cut back on his sarcasm recently.

Ye Changfeng adjusted his glasses, looking inquisitively at Elder Luo, "What do you think?"

Although he knew Xiang Beifei was always a bit of an enigma, the current situation seemed quite bleak, and he had already guessed about seven or eight parts of Chen Baiwen's abilities, honestly startled by such powers.

"I'm just sitting and watching,"

Elder Luo leisurely leaned back in his chair, legs crossed, nonchalantly speaking, "That kid hasn't even put in real effort yet; if you really think he's being pushed back, you're underestimating him."

In fact, he didn't know what Xiang Beifei was doing.

But he knew Xiang Beifei was definitely up to something.
