When system cheat becomes rampant!

Xiang Beifei could probably infer from Long Guocheng's emotions what they had been discussing. It could only have been the humiliating incident which had turned the haughty young executive's face red.

In other words, Meng Yuekai and Long Guocheng had talked about him and knew Long Guocheng had suffered a loss. So, Meng Yuekai had become cautious and decided not to provoke him right now?

"People with high emotional intelligence are really troublesome!" Xiang Beifei couldn't help thinking.

He would rather have Meng Yuekai be straightforward like Long Guocheng—looking down on him and picking a quarrel openly rather than beating around the bush, so he could take care of him swiftly.

But Meng Yuekai was smart. He probably realized he couldn't compete with a "Body Cultivator" like him in the Qi-Controlling phase, so he didn't directly pick a fight, hid his disdain for N-grade individuals, and even spoke to him very politely.

The kind of cleverness that allows one to sail with the wind is the most annoying. They smile at you on the surface, but who knows, they might stab you in the back the moment you turn around.

"Fine, it's best if you don't provoke me."

Xiang Beifei's emotions were all in the other person's system value. It was best if they could live in peace. You don't bother me, I won't touch you, but if you dare to play any tricks, your system will be mine.

——

The first day of school was the new student registration day, and it was also when upperclassmen were brimming with enthusiasm. Boys were happy, chatting about which cute freshman girl had high grades and how to approach her. Girls were rating handsome underclassmen with their best friends, discussing which celeb a freshman boy resembled.

But aside from these superficial matters, the most talked-about topic was about the outstanding new students, such as the eleven SR-grade freshmen at the Martial Arts College.

And then there was Xiang Beifei, the only N-grade new student to enter Liangzhou University in ten years!

Within Liangzhou University, aside from cafeteria ladies and janitors who were N-grade Awakeners, there were no N-grade Awakeners among the students—Xiang Beifei was the biggest exception.

Throughout the summer vacation, when nobody was at the university, various rumors about this N-grade freshman circulated, and today another piece of news broke out.

"Heard through the grapevine, the source is reliable! It's certain without a doubt! The N-grade new student Xiang Beifei is actually a Body Cultivator! It is said that he started on this path at five years old! Everyone knows how perverse Body Cultivation can be during the Qi-Controlling phase!"

"Thirteen years of physical training? No wonder! I was thinking, how could he pass Old Devil Yuchi's entrance assessment so easily, and even knock S-grade Body Cultivator Xiong Meng flying with a single punch. Xiong Meng only trained his physique for a year; it's normal he couldn't compare."

"His strength seems to be at the midpoint of the Qi-Controlling phase. It took him thirteen years to reach that midpoint, geez! His talent is really trash. Maybe his parents realized he'd only be able to awaken an N-grade system even before he had an Awakening System?"

"His parents are probably N-grade Awakeners themselves, right? Predicting that their son wouldn't have great talent upon awakening, so they got him started on Body Cultivation early?"

"Indeed, his parents were quite prescient, realizing their son might awaken an N-grade system, so they hurriedly had him start Body Cultivation from a young age."

An R-grade Awakener could reach the midpoint of the Qi-Controlling phase in one year of cultivation, an S-grade in just one year could reach the late Qi-Controlling phase, and an SR-grade after a year would already be in the Meridian Opening phase!

Yet he, an N-grade, took thirteen years to reach the midpoint of the Qi-Controlling phase; compared to them, his talent is moving.

"Don't say that now, we still can't beat him. If we want to mess with him, we might have to wait two more years."

"Hehe, can't beat him, but doesn't stop me from looking down on this N-grade trash! When I see him, I can still scorn him with a few words!"

"Right, that makes me feel better! Two years in the east, two years in the west! Give me two years, and I'll be able to grind him into the ground! Let him know what Martial Arts College talent looks like!"

"Haha, you actually make sense. The early bird might catch the worm, but if its wings aren't strong, let him fly for thirteen years; we need only two years to catch up, and then leave him tens of thousands of miles behind."

"By the way, I also heard that the N-grade new student Xiang Beifei is rooming with three SR-grade Awakeners!"

"What? Three SRs and one N living together? Isn't this N-grade freshman going to be traumatized by those three SRs?"

"You're telling me! Poor guy, this is clearly a mix of an N-grade loach and SR-grade Divine Dragons! Won't the little loach end up feeling inferior to death?"

"Geez! That dormitory assignment is quite cruel! That guy named Xiang Beifei probably feels tremendous pressure every day, right? SR-grade Awakeners are much stronger than Xiong Meng. Although they're in the Qi-Controlling mid-phase, they're as strong as common late Qi-Controlling phase folks; not someone he, a Body Cultivator, could ever beat. I bet he's shivering in front of those three right now, right?"

"Haha, maybe just one glare from an SR roommate and he'll be sweating bullets and running for the hills, right?"

"Haha, for sure. I bet that guy named Xiang Beifei is too scared to even go back to his dorm now!"

...

It was the first day of the new school term, and the situation regarding the freshmen had already been almost fully grasped; most still looked down on the N-level freshman who pursued Body Cultivation.

They all thought that Xiang Beifei being placed in a room with three SR-level students was a tragedy waiting to happen. He would likely be ostracized by the three arrogant SR-ranked students to the point of questioning life itself!

The fact that Xiang Beifei had reached the late stages of Qi-Controlling was still unknown to many; they still believed that Xiang Beifei was merely a Body Cultivator in the midst of Qi-Controlling.

However, what everyone didn't realize was that the person who dared not return to the dorm wasn't actually Xiang Beifei.

——

During dinner, Kong Xiuwen asked with a worried face, "Are you okay, Xiang Beifei?"

Kong Xiuwen was also S-level and had enrolled in the same university as Xiang Beifei, but he wasn't rooming with Xiang Beifei. They lived in the same building, however, in dorm 501. Kong Xiuwen had come specially to invite Xiang Beifei to have dinner together.

"I'm fine," Xiang Beifei said.

The three SRs in the dorm were all far from ordinary. If those three systems were to fully unleash their strength, they would all be extremely powerful.

One was a scholar, one had high emotional intelligence, and one was cold and arrogant.

Indeed, these three were formidable.

But no matter how formidable they were, they were not as formidable as Xiang Beifei.

"I've heard about it, you're in the same dorm with three SR-level students! How great the pressure must be!" Kong Xiuwen expressed his concern.

Awakeners at the SR-level were revered by Kong Xiuwen and the others as well.

"It's no big deal," Xiang Beifei said.

Right now in their dorm, there was someone who was under even greater pressure than him.

Kong Xiuwen sighed, "Such a pity. If it were any other S-level freshman, I could offer some help. But with SR-level, I really can't help you out. I'm only at the early stages of Qi-Controlling myself."

"The best thing you can do is to practice diligently," Xiang Beifei said.

"But I know you're not just a Body Cultivator! What are you planning to do next?"

Kong Xiuwen understood Xiang Beifei—or rather, he knew the former Xiang Beifei better than anyone else. Those rumors outside could only be taken with a grain of salt.

He hadn't been present at the last entrance examination and couldn't see the footage, so he was unclear about Xiang Beifei's strengths. To him, the reason Xiang Beifei was able to pass the entrance exam was largely due to his parents having connections in the school, and not because of those wild rumors.

Others might not know about Xiang Beifei's parents, but Kong Xiuwen did. Xiang Tianxing was a genuine SR, a distinguished graduate of Liangzhou University, and not the N-level some students talked about. It was just that Xiang Beifei had long ago urged him not to speak of it.

"This is the Martial Arts College, what else can I do? It's not like the Liberal Arts College where reason prevails; here, it's all about the fists," Xiang Beifei said.

"That's the only way then. I'll try my best to raise my own cultivation level. That way, I can protect you in the future. Don't worry, I've got your back. Once I have the strength, whoever dares to bully you, I'll beat them up just the same."

Kong Xiuwen habitually ruffled his hair. As an S-level, he believed that his cultivation would definitely improve faster than Xiang Beifei's.

The two had grown up together since childhood. Kong Xiuwen had always looked after his buddy. In high school, with him around, few classmates could ever bully Xiang Beifei.

Xiang Beifei just smiled and said nothing.

However, he suddenly thought that Kong Xiuwen's cultivation was indeed too weak; he needed to give this guy a boost.

Back in high school, it was no big deal for Kong Xiuwen to have a low cultivation level since he needed to focus on studying for university. But now that they were at university, especially at the Martial Arts College, having low cultivation was not acceptable.

In the future, Kong Xiuwen was destined to be "Bald Qiang."

His system also had great potential!
