When system cheat becomes rampant!

"How much is he hiding?" Long Guocheng was also startled.

That was an SSR-level Awakener! One grade higher than his own SR!

And yet, Xiang Beifei just kicked him into a trash can?

Long Guocheng knew Xiang Beifei was formidable, and an odd Body Cultivation practitioner, but in his view, even if Xiang Beifei could defeat other schools' SSR-level awakeners, it definitely wouldn't be that simple.

However, who could have thought that Xiang Beifei's victory would come so easily?

Recalling what Xiang Beifei had just said about "one punch," Long Guocheng suddenly realized that Xiang Beifei might not have been boasting.

Since Hou Chengwu, an SSR Awakener, had been kicked away, then facing SRs like Xie Lixing and Zhao Guanyu, one punch did indeed seem inevitable.

He had always wanted to defeat Xiang Beifei, but with this trend, when exactly could he defeat this monstrous fellow?

——

An SSR-level Awakener from Qingzhou University, Hou Chengwu, was thrown into a trash can by an N-level Awakener from Liangzhou University, Xiang Beifei.

The impact was too strong!

So much so that no one cheered for the following match between Jingzhou University and Yuzhou University.

How could they cheer?

The audience present were all from Qingzhou University. As the hosts, their SSR had been defeated, how could they have any mood left to cheer for other schools?

The original plan was for Hou Chengwu, as the host and facing Liangzhou University, to take on Xiang Beifei as a stepping stone for an auspicious start, showcasing the elegance of Qingzhou University.

But nobody expected that what Hou Chengwu kicked up was only the dust in the trash can!

Before the match began, everyone was jeering at Xiang Beifei, but after it started, their pride, the SSR, ended up kicked into a trash can by someone else.

Their school's dignity had been trampled by an N-level Awakener!

The students of Qingzhou University had shocked expressions; no matter how spectacular the SR matches from other schools were, it was pointless!

By now, teachers from other schools had started to pay close attention to Xiang Beifei. They were continuously replaying the video, trying to analyze how Xiang Beifei defeated Hou Chengwu.

But the video showed the exchange lasted for less than a second.

Hou Chengwu disappeared, reappeared behind Xiang Beifei, and then with a lift of his foot, Xiang Beifei had Hou Chengwu pinned beneath it.

Everything happened as if it was meant to be, no fancy tricks involved, a single strike finished the battle.

What could they glean from that?

Nothing at all!

If it hadn't been seen with their own eyes, they might even have suspected Hou Chengwu deliberately lay down to be stepped on by Xiang Beifei.

"How could Xiang Beifei of Liangzhou University, an N-level Body Cultivator, be so powerful?"

Many schools were unsettled.

Subsequently, another piece of news spread.

"It's said that Hou Chengwu initially chose Liangzhou University, but seemed to look down on Liangzhou University because they recruited the N-level Xiang Beifei, so he came to Qingzhou University instead."

"So today, SSR Hou Chengwu was defeated by the N-level Awakener he looked down upon. Isn't that a slap to his face?"

"Or perhaps—could Hou Chengwu, the SSR, have been sent by Liangzhou University as a mole in Qingzhou University, specifically to be defeated on the stage by Liangzhou University, just waiting to hand over 20 points to Liangzhou University? Undying loyalty to Liangzhou?"

"Wow! We're just on the first level, and you're already how many levels deep?"

...

Jokes aside, no one really thought Hou Chengwu would be foolish enough to do such a thing, because he was an SSR, a genius with limitless future prospects. How could he do something so humiliating?

The only explanation was that Hou Chengwu, the SSR who disdained Liangzhou University, was genuinely taught a lesson by an N-level sent by Liangzhou University. Liangzhou University had acted to show Hou Chengwu just how wrong his original choice was.

This slap was exceedingly loud.

With the first SSR defeated by an N-level in one move, the following matches suddenly became bland, for the Qingzhou University students had no spirit left to cheer, creating a gloomy atmosphere.

Compared to previous competitions, such an event was incredibly rare.

Now, teachers from other schools that hadn't yet encountered Liangzhou University were anxiously discussing strategies. They realized that Liangzhou University wasn't an easy target, and that the so-called N-level Xiang Beifei might not be as simple as he seemed. They then shifted focus on how to deal with Liangzhou University.

So much so that two hours later, when it came to Yongzhou University facing Liangzhou University, Yongzhou University won the roll for choice, and their lead teacher Zhao breathed a sigh of relief!

They had the right to choose!

They had the right to choose!

Because just before when Qingzhou University and Liangzhou University rolled the dice, Zhao was envying Qingzhou for winning the choice to select the Meridian Opening bracket, a guaranteed 20 points against Liangzhou University.

At that time, they were also thinking of choosing Meridian Opening when facing Liangzhou University.

But now—

"Qi-Controlling phase! I pick the Qi-Controlling phase!" Zhao firmly declared!

Without understanding what exactly N-level Xiang Beifei's strength was, Yongzhou University dared not send out their only SSR to face Xiang Beifei head-on.

Better safe than sorry; their SSR student losing to another school's SSR student wouldn't have much impact, as winning and losing among SSRs is quite normal.

But if an SSR were to lose to an N-level, that would be extremely embarrassing!

The most important thing was, not being certain about what kind of entity N-level Xiang Beifei was. Even if their SSR could defeat Xiang Beifei, it would probably take their best effort, which would then reveal all their strengths to the other schools. They would become targets for those schools.
