Xiang Beifei wasn't worried about being suspected for taking Yuchi Shen's system reward, although he didn't know what the other's system task was. The higher the level of the system reward, the longer it definitely took to complete.
He had only completed one system task, which might not be enough for Yuchi Shen to receive a reward immediately. It probably would accumulate over some time, possibly taking several days, or even several months to receive.
During this period, many changes could occur, and many people would be involved in his task, making it less likely for Yuchi Shen to suspect him.
Even if some small rewards could be obtained immediately, Xiang Beifei also needed to alert Xiaohei, reminding it to pick the timing and disguise itself when retrieving the parcel.
The instructors at elite universities weren't like Yang Hua, whose cultivation was only in the late stage of Qi-Controlling; they were more vigilant, and Xiang Beifei had to be even more cautious when exploiting the system.
——
Training Ground One was like a stadium, very large, only instead of grass, the ground was covered with glittering transparent black slates.
These slates were quite peculiar. When you walked on them, you could see your own reflection, but the reflection on the floor wasn't foot to foot like in a mirror, flipped over in your current posture, it seemed more like there was another self standing right below you.
It was hard to say if it was really a reflection; perhaps calling it a projection was more apt.
The other elite students all sat in the spectator seats. Training Ground One allowed others to watch someone's simulation training, where spectators could immersively see the scenarios encountered by the people in the field.
This facilitated mutual learning among everyone, to glean various experiences and identify individual shortcomings, as was customary in regular simulation training.
Yuchi Shen stood at the center of Training Ground One, waiting for Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei also slowly walked towards him.
"I don't care whom you punched away, but in front of me, an assessment is an assessment, and if you don't pass, then you have no place in Liangzhou University," Yuchi Shen said slowly.
Even though he knew that Xiang Beifei was essentially guaranteed admission, he couldn't truly tell Xiang Beifei that, or Xiang Beifei wouldn't take this assessment seriously.
"Alright then."
Xiang Beifei didn't show any reaction.
Yuchi Shen thought he was unclear, but he actually understood it better than anyone.
At today's training ground, besides the more than two hundred elite students in the Qi-Controlling stage, there were also thirteen powerful presences in various inconspicuous corners.
"What does this mean?"
Xiang Beifei did not understand what had happened; he felt a light emanating from the iron ball in his hand, forming a peculiar pattern under his feet. Suddenly, he was enveloped by darkness, as if something had grabbed him and pulled him into a vortex.
—
Ye Changfeng was just a moment too late to grab Xiang Beifei; by the time he arrived, Xiang Beifei had already vanished from the training ground.
"Yuchi Shen!"
A wrathful look appeared on Ye Changfeng's usually elegant face, and his aura instantly became fiercely sharp, like a drawn sword pointing directly at Yuchi Shen.
"What's wrong? Ye Changfeng, do you have time to chat with me today?" Yuchi Shen waved to shield their conversation, preventing the other students from listening in.
"This is an admission test! Just a test! How dare you send him to that kind of place! You have a personal grudge with Xiang Tianxing, using such disgraceful means under the guise of duty!" Ye Changfeng roared.
"The school has assigned me to handle the N-level candidates' admission tests, so how I conduct the test is none of your business!" Yuchi Shen replied languidly.
At this time, Elder Luo had also rushed over, frowning as he looked at Yuchi Shen.
"Elder Luo, Xiang Beifei—he—" Ye Changfeng said urgently.
"I saw it."
Elder Luo's gaze was piercing as he stared at Yuchi Shen.
Yuchi Shen felt uncomfortable under Elder Luo's stare, but he still said, "This is the assessment I am in charge of."
After a moment, he sneered again, "Aren't you very confident in him? Do you think he can't handle this situation?"
"He has no experience with the external desolate realms! He hasn't even systematically studied desolate beasts, and you send him there on his first test; how is that different from sending him to his death!"
Ye Changfeng shouted, "Did you have the guts to try the external desolate realms right upon admission? I remember, on your first visit to the external desolate realms, you nearly died under a Mad Claw Beast! And you were an SR-level then! Not to mention, you had studied desolate beasts at school for six months and reached the late stages of Qi-Controlling before you went!"
Yuchi Shen's face darkened, "What are you implying?"
"You know exactly what I mean! You couldn't even pass an assessment after half a year of studying; how dare you expect a high school student who hasn't received formal training to undertake such a task?"
Ye Changfeng's tone became increasingly aggressive.
