When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 321: The Forgotten Ones



Countless Awakeners were cheering for him, the waves of excitement rising higher with each surge.

Xiang Beifei surveyed the crowd, and across the expanse, he could see all the system interfaces clearly.

The majority gathered here were N-level Awakeners. As an N-level Awakener himself, Xiang Beifei found it easy to resonate with them, which explained the unprecedented number of N-level Awakeners.

But there were also quite a few high-level Awakeners. Besides those of R and S levels, he had spotted over thirty SRs and no fewer than ten SSRs on the scene!

These high-level Awakeners were generally in the God Refining phase and belonged to the Alliance; they were disguised among the crowd, clandestinely monitoring his every move.

Then, Xiang Beifei saw a man on the rooftop across the street.

An UR-level Awakener, He Caiwei!

He Caiwei stood there, exuding an aura that kept people at a great distance. Passersby hurried past without sparing him a second glance, not even aware of his presence.

The only one who knew he was there was Xiang Beifei.

The systems interface glowed brightly, impossible to block out.

Clearly, He Caiwei also wanted to witness for himself what made the legendary Xiang Beifei so extraordinary!

This was the student of the opponent he was planning to eliminate next.

The student of an enemy was an enemy too!

Since starting his education, Xiang Beifei had had all his information readily available, laid out before He Caiwei.

But as a UR-level Awakener, He Caiwei still couldn't deduce anything from the videos. How Xiang Beifei had grown from an N-level Awakener to this extent was still a secret to him.

That's why he came specially today, to understand first and act later!

Of course, what He Caiwei didn't know was that they had actually met in an one-sided encounter the night before.

"Xiang Beifei, can you tell us how you managed to kill a Triangular Thunder Krait when school started?"

"Yes! You are just an N-level Awakener; why do you have the ability to kill a late-stage Qi-Controlling Triangular Thunder Krait?"

Many people were very interested in this question, as it was extremely rare for an N-level Awakener to achieve such a feat in just a couple of months.

After a moment's reflection, Xiang Beifei said, "That's because I have a good teacher."

"A good teacher? Who is it?" someone asked eagerly.

"Luo Yunxian from Liangzhou University, Professor Luo!"

Xiang Beifei's voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Luo Yunxian? Who is that?"

"It sounds familiar, but I forget."

Many people whispered among themselves, asking their neighbors if they had heard of the name.

Xiang Beifei felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Had the predecessor who led martial artists to resist the beast tide seven years ago, the hero who helped Jiuzhou defend its line, really been forgotten after only seven years?

For many years, someone within the Alliance had been deliberately suppressing Elder Luo; even now, barely anything about "Luo Yunxian" could be found online.

Ever since he killed a disobedient SSR, the name "Luo Yunxian" had become an embarrassment in the eyes of the Alliance! He wasn't mentioned in defense-related textbooks, and the common knowledge of Alliance battles only briefly touched upon him.

Apart from the teachers in the universities and everyone within the Alliance, it seemed the outside world had forgotten him.

After he retired, it was as if the Alliance had erased his existence.

Xiang Beifei knew who was responsible.

The person capable of this stood across from him, watching him.

But Xiang Beifei showed no fear as he spoke out:

"Luo Yunxian, the former commander of the Alliance Beast Tide Defense Department! Seven years ago, when the beast tide breached our defensive borders and inflicted heavy casualties upon us, it was he who led all martial warriors in a fierce struggle against the tide, righting the ship at the verge of capsizing, and propping up the faltering edifice! It can be said that it's because of him that Jiuzhou enjoys the peace we have today."

Xiang Beifei paused for a moment, then continued, "Luo Yunxian! Professor Luo! He has a mature theory for slaying desolate beasts, and I have been fortunate enough to receive his guidance. I know how to kill the most troublesome desolate beasts in the simplest way, and I understand how to deal with the dangers one must face in the desolate wilderness outside our domain."

The seven years of peaceful living was earned by Elder Luo and all the martial warriors; such history should not be forgotten. It was necessary for him to make sure everyone remembered that the Alliance had someone like "Luo Yunxian."

"Luo Yunxian, Professor Luo? That person from the Beast Tide Defense Department, it was him!"

Reminded by Xiang Beifei, those who had experienced the beast tide seven years ago gradually began to recall the event.

"I heard he's just an SR, but during the beast tide attack, he executed an SSR who disobeyed orders! He enforced military discipline!"

The younger generation might not have an impression of Luo Yunxian, as they were very young seven years ago, but there are still many middle-aged people present who remember this.

"Is he the Luo Yunxian who dared to execute an SSR that defied orders and wouldn't comply? Yes, he's a great leader!"

"No wonder Xiang Beifei has achieved so much, having been taught by him!"

Many people had an epiphany, realizing that with such a master, it was only natural for such a disciple to emerge.

Many people reminisced about Luo Yunxian, and even the younger generation members, who didn't have a strong recollection of the beast tide seven years ago, remembered the name Luo Yunxian under Xiang Beifei's influence.

——

He Caiwei, who was far away, had his face growing even more gloomy.

He stared fixedly at Xiang Beifei.

But Xiang Beifei wasn't looking at him.

Talking like this was bound to stoke that guy's ire.

But he didn't care.

Because whether he spoke out or not, He Caiwei saw Elder Luo as a thorn in his side, wanting to get rid of him.

He Caiwei had always been looking for opportunities to besmirch Elder Luo. If left unchallenged, the increasingly forgotten Elder Luo would always be at a disadvantage in the court of public opinion. Once smeared or slandered, it would be hard to fight back.

If Xiang Beifei didn't do something now, Elder Luo might as well be sitting ducks, waiting for the enemy to come knocking.

After all, once dead, it would be unlikely for anyone to stand up and speak a word of justice for Elder Luo!

So Xiang Beifei had to make sure that everyone remembered the name "Luo Yunxian," so that when He Caiwei moved against him, Xiang Beifei could raise his voice, and everyone would then remember the great achievements of such a person, giving Elder Luo room to maneuver.

Public opinion is the most important.

He had to fight against people like He Caiwei, and before having the power, he needed to rely on his own "choices."

People continued to ask Xiang Beifei various questions, and he responded to each one with precision. When faced with things he could not explain, he deflected them onto Elder Luo, claiming that Elder Luo had taught him, thereby elevating Elder Luo's reputation to a lofty position.

This was a live broadcast with extremely high viewer engagement. The name "Luo Yunxian" quickly came back into everyone's sights, even beyond the expectation of the Alliance itself.

——

"Cut off this broadcast now!"

He Caiwei coldly summoned Mu Yiqing.

Everyone remembered Luo Yunxian as the former commander of the Alliance Beast Tide Defense Department, but they didn't know who he, He Caiwei, was!

This made him feel an unbearable sense of humiliation!

"If we cut it off, many people will protest," Mu Yiqing said somberly.

"Those who dare protest, just send someone to suppress it! What kind of splash can those lowly, inferior Awakeners make! Doesn't your Alliance Development Department have many means at its disposal? Can't you even handle such a small matter?"

He Caiwei's tone was icily indifferent to an extreme.
