Tao Jin still didn't believe that an N-rank Awakener could have repelled Xiong Meng, and he still thought that Xiang Beifei defeated Xiong Meng by relying on system artifacts given to him by others.
The issue was that this was a world where everyone could cheat with systems!
As long as someone was willing to help you, as long as you had the cultivation level to wield someone else's power, it was okay to use any person's system artifacts. If you were the one who deployed the power of the system artifact, no one would accuse you of an undeserved victory!
In this world, using cheats was only reasonable.
Especially here at the Martial Arts College, a place where fighting was permitted!
To cultivate martial artists for Jiuzhou, who would combat desolate beasts, nobody cared whose system artifact you used. They only cared whether you could kill the desolate beast or survive a siege by desolate beasts!
But then again, thinking about it, something seemed off.
Because to use someone else's system artifact, there were limitations on one's cultivation level. It wasn't that anyone could just hand you something, and you would become as strong as them.
Deploying system artifacts required one's own spiritual power as a medium, thus spiritual power limited the power of the system artifacts.
If Xiang Beifei didn't have the necessary cultivation level, how could he have utilized someone else's system artifacts and possibly blasted the late-stage Qi-Controlling Xiong Meng with a single punch?
Could it be that this N-rank Awakener also possessed a late-stage Qi-Controlling cultivation level?
Impossible!
His awakening system was only two months old, right?
Tao Jin couldn't figure it out but he also dared not contradict Xiang Beifei any longer, instead he was left red-faced by Xiang Beifei's questioning.
At that moment, a stir suddenly emerged from the crowd.
"Quite lively, huh."
A lazy, dull voice rose around Xiang Beifei.
It was a middle-aged man.
With a hawk-like nose, triangular eyes, thin lips, high cheekbones, his features were extremely discordant. It was as though at birth, he randomly chose the most mismatched nose and eyes to stick on his face, then mixed them carelessly before letting him be born—an exceedingly bizarre face.
He had shoulder-length, messy, wavy hair, looking as if it hadn't been washed in centuries.
The appearance of this man seemed to drop the surrounding temperature by several degrees.
Xiang Beifei turned his head, looking at the man before him.
Elder Luo leisurely cracked seeds.
Many had seen Elder Luo, the security guard who often dozed off in a chair at the school gate, appearing very unprofessional, yet he was genuinely a faculty member capable of testifying in students' fights.
When Yuchi Shen saw Elder Luo, his gaze became even colder.
He didn't retort at Elder Luo but instead turned to glare at Xiang Beifei, continuing harshly, "You haven't even passed the assessment, just an outsider, is the school rule set for you?"
"Since the rule isn't set for me, then beating them seems quite appropriate," Xiang Beifei said calmly.
Yuchi Shen narrowed his eyes, his tone becoming even colder, as if about to devour someone, his thin lips emitting a deathly threatening sound, "You know this is Liangzhou University, right? You dare to come to my school and beat up my students? You think our school has no teachers?"
The surrounding temperature dropped several degrees.
Many had realized that Yuchi Shen was also planning to make things difficult for this freshman!
Turns out Elder Yuchi, the Old Devil, despised a Grade N freshman more than all the students present. Had they known this, they wouldn't have needed to act at all, just waiting for Elder Yuchi to make a move would have sufficed.
Many were excited again, wanting to see how Elder Yuchi would punish this arrogant Grade N student.
Xiang Beifei remained unhurried and calm.
"A college student from Liangzhou University wants to trouble a high school student who came for the entrance assessment. The well-trained elite university student couldn't beat this high school student, so a mighty Liangzhou University teacher has to personally deal with this high school student who just awakened his system two months ago?
I think the teachers of Liangzhou University have higher morals than this, they wouldn't do such a disgraceful thing."
At these words, everyone was momentarily stunned, then their expressions became very strange.
Xiang Beifei's words sounded extremely harsh to them.
Because Liangzhou University was known as an elite university, where every student was claimed to be elite!
But elites were knocked down by a just-graduated high school student with a single punch, which was already smacking these so-called elite students in the face. Xiang Beifei's punch had almost broken the elite university's sign.
If Yuchi Shen condescended to lay hands on him now, it would be akin to telling outsiders that their school's elite students couldn't beat an outsider Grade N high school student and needed a teacher's assistance to discipline them.
If this got out, then Yuchi Shen would be stepping all over the already smashed university sign.
The most pressing matter was whether Liangzhou University now wanted to accept this Grade N high school student.
Not accept? Because you think this Grade N student doesn't meet Liangzhou University's admission qualifications?
But your proud elite students were swung away by this Grade N high school student, couldn't beat a not-yet-enrolled Grade N student, and then claim that the student does not qualify to attend Liangzhou University? What are those elite students that Liangzhou University usually enrolls supposed to be?
