When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 662 - 486: Surprise (4000 words)_2
However, the reality was, when facing a desolate beast, there was never any fairness to speak of!
In battles with desolate beasts, more often than not, the beasts were a bit more powerful.
Thus, winning and gaining the most points actually tested the strategic coordination capabilities of the universities.
Which battles to give up on, which to commit to fully, who to send against different opponents, learning when to make sacrifices, engaging in psychological warfare—not only was it a test of courage, but also intelligence.
Although Elder Luo was often idle to the point of restlessness and not very serious, he had once been the commander-in-chief in Jiuzhou Alliance's battle against the beast tide, and his strategic vision in commanding battles was extremely formidable.
He was very clear about the original intention behind this sort of competition among the nine elite schools.
That is to say, Elder Luo had a plan on how to break through this situation, but he hadn't spelled it out, wanting Xiang Beifei and his team to think it through first. This was also a form of training.
If their ideas didn't work, then Elder Luo would provide guidance.
——
Hearing Elder Luo say this, no one could complain any longer.
Ye Changfeng and Yuchi Shen also sat aside, no longer speaking, but instead watching the five members led by Xiang Beifei.
They all remained silent.
After a while, Long Guocheng was the first to speak, "Tomorrow's competition, our first match is in the second round, against Qingzhou University. Facing Qingzhou University, we don't know who they will send against us."
Xiang Beifei said, "Tomorrow, the person Qingzhou University sends out will definitely be this Hou Chengwu, without any surprise."
Long Guocheng asked, "Are you that certain? Qingzhou University has two SSRs and one UR, plus two SRs, and they haven't decided on a person yet."
Xiang Beifei said, "It will be Hou Chengwu! He had initially refused us at Liangzhou University and instead chose Qingzhou University. He must prove to everyone that not choosing Liangzhou University was the right decision, and his way of proving this is to come and defeat us personally."
"That makes sense," Li Zimu nodded thoughtfully, "I think he was offended by you today, and he would want to get revenge."
"Xiang Beifei, do you have the ability to defeat Hou Chengwu?" Xi Keyao asked.
Xiang Beifei was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
The faces of Long Guocheng and the others slightly improved; they now recognized Xiang Beifei and were aware of his prowess.
Although this guy wasn't an SSR, his strength was absurdly strong.
With him around, even if Liangzhou University couldn't match the overt strength of those three universities, it was still enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the other schools.
"But if the other schools all send SSRs against us, we are almost guaranteed to lose. Xiang Beifei can only participate twice, meaning he can only score twice at best, but the four of us will almost certainly lose," Ma Ziqian said.
"Unless we figure out a way to prevent them from all sending their SSRs against us," Li Zimu said.
"They now all think we're easy targets, so how can we change their minds?" Long Guocheng asked.
"It's simple, we must let them know that we are not that weak," Xiang Beifei said.
Li Zimu caught on, saying, "I get it, there has to be a Meridian Opening period in our school, so they won't just send Meridian Opening students against us. That means tomorrow against Qingzhou University, Xiang Beifei, you must go."
A person could participate a maximum of two times, so Xiang Beifei, after going once, just needed to show a bit of his strength, enough to intimidate the people from the other schools and make them wary.
Understanding that the Liangzhou University 'persimmon' might not be so easily squashed!
Because if the SSRs they send out were to encounter the formidable opponent Xiang Beifei and lose, it would be a huge loss, so the other schools wouldn't just recklessly send SSRs to challenge Liangzhou University.
This ability was very peculiar; any being with sins, whether a desolate beast or a human, could be targeted by him, and then a figurative door would automatically form in his mind. Even if this door was not originally a weakness of the opponent.
Just like the Triangular Thunder Krait, a desolate beast, whose original weakness was its eyes, but if Yuchi Shen performed the "Seven Deadly Sins Kill," Yuchi Shen could forcibly shift that weakness to another spot, such as moving the vital point to the tail of the Triangular Thunder Krait.
Then, if Yuchi Shen struck the tail of the Triangular Thunder Krait, the beast would surely die!
"This ability is incredible, forcibly changing an opponent's weak spot?" Xiang Beifei was quite
"Right, I heard that originally two SSR Awakeners were supposed to come to our Liangzhou University, but since Liangzhou University admitted an N-level, those two SSRs looked down on our Liangzhou University and went to other elite schools."
"Wouldn't that school be furious? Losing two SSRs over an N-level student?"
"Exactly! This N-level Awakener really causes trouble."
Just then, Xiang Beifei exclaimed in surprise because he noticed a figure suddenly appearing behind the baby!
This figure almost teleported there, holding a sword, exuding a powerful aura, ignoring the tentacles!
It was Ye Changfeng!
Ye Changfeng frowned as he looked at the baby, then slashed at the baby with his sword!
The baby seemed to react, but before it could turn around, Ye Changfeng's sword had already cut the baby in half!
However, the baby didn't dissipate. After being split, countless tentacles burst out of its body, merging into the surrounding tentacles.
"Seeking death!"
Ye Changfeng gripped his sword and slashed forward again!
This slash was like lightning, mixed with a terrifying force. The fierce Sword Qi extended hundreds of meters, actually splitting the sky full of tentacles with a crack!
After the tentacles were split, they tried to merge again, but soon, countless Sword Qis exploded between them—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
All the tentacles failed to escape under Ye Changfeng's slash and were utterly destroyed throughout the city!
The tentacles were shredded by the Sword Qi, and the remaining tentacles began shrinking in fear towards the ground, quickly disappearing from sight.
"Stay here, don't wander off!"
Ye Changfeng threw his sword up, and the Longyuan Sword hung above the three of them as if protecting them, while another sword appeared in his hand. With a step, he flickered through space and disappeared into thin air.
"Luckily, Mr. Ye arrived." Fan Kai breathed a sigh of relief, as without Mr. Ye's timely arrival, they might have truly been doomed.
But Sun Yushan didn't quite understand, saying, "What kind of desolate beast is this, anyway? How come we've never seen it before?"
They had trained in the Cultivated Domain for three years, and they knew roughly what types of desolate beasts existed there. Some desolate beasts were powerful, but none had ever been as troublesome as this one, and today they almost left their lives here.
Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment, then turned to Xiaohei and said, "Xiaohei, you should be able to take him out of this space, right?"
Xiaohei nodded. This was a system-created space, and no power of the system could trap Xiaohei. It could leave the system's confines whenever it wished.
"Then first take him out of this space, let him stay in the forest," Xiang Beifei said.
This isolated island might harbor other dangers, but if it injured Liu Gui to this extent, keeping him here would be unsafe. They had better drop him off in the forest outside.
Xiaohei jumped onto Liu Gui, and with a little stomp on his body, Liu Gui's body started to appear strange. Xiang Beifei could still see him, but he could also see the forest floor outside the space.
"That should do it. Xiao Ma and the others might come to look for him in the forest; we need to continue searching for others."
Liu Gui's current condition should prevent him from being harmed by any desolate beast on this island. Xiang Beifei needed to hurry and find Lu Zhiwei and He Yun.
