"The most important thing is, after I came back last night, some disagreements emerged within our school's leadership. Some people think that Liangzhou University's decision to admit you that day was a mistake. They say we admitted a N-level student and lost two SSRs, picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons! I was so furious back then!"
Elder Luo rubbed his fist, squinting and humming twice.
Xiang Beifei couldn't help but laugh silently because he saw in Elder Luo's task bar yesterday a message—
[You flipped a table in front of the school leaders, leisure value +1]
[You had an unpleasant confrontation with the school leaders over Xiang Beifei's issue, leisure value +1]
Elder Luo's Leisure System makes him stronger no matter what he does—even getting angry when idle counts as leisure, but actively getting angry doesn't give much leisure value.
His system advocates for a joyful life, enjoying life. Like when he cussed out Yuchi Shen, it relieved him, giving him 50 leisure points, but if cussing someone out doesn't smooth things over for him, he only gets 1 leisure point.
Basically, if you do something and feel good after, you get more points, if not, you get fewer.
"Don't dwell on it too much, Elder Luo. Not coming to Liangzhou University is their loss!" Xiang Beifei said.
"Exactly! You have a good eye!"
Elder Luo looked at Xiang Beifei with satisfaction and then said, "Of course, I know you had no other choice but to come here—"
"Even if I had a choice, I would still pick this place. You forgot my old man used to be here, didn't you?" Xiang Beifei said.
"Haha! Right, look at my memory."
It was then that Elder Luo remembered and said, "Now, because of the SSR issue, those leaders at Liangzhou University think admitting you was a mistake, but I'm going to train you well just to spite them!"
He pondered for a moment, then asked, "By the way, how's your spiritual power training going? Have you gotten the sunflower seed to move yet? Even a little movement will do, I'm not asking for much."
"I've made a little progress."
"Show me. You've only been training for a few days, being able to move the sunflower seed shell even slightly would be a huge improvement," Elder Luo said.
"Alright."
Xiang Beifei cracked a sunflower seed, and then he spat the shell forward—
Whoosh!
The sunflower seed shell suddenly floated in mid-air!
Xiang Beifei stared at the sunflower seed shell, focusing all his attention on it, and then controlled it to drift up, down, left, and right.
Not far away, the trash can that Elder Luo had shot several holes in with sunflower seed shells was now being maneuvered by Xiang Beifei's own shell like a roller coaster, leisurely threading in and out of the small holes in the trash can.
"What?" Elder Luo exclaimed, forgetting to crack the sunflower seed in his hand, "You mastered it this quickly?"
This was no small progress at all!
This was only his fifth day of training!
Well, noted down in the little notebook, SSR Awakeners are rare, as long as the names are right, then definitely there won't be a mistake in finding the right person. Next time there's a chance, having a chat about life with them and helping Elder Luo seek revenge sounds good.
Xiang Beifei erased the flames from the air, but just then, a piercing voice suddenly came from the school gate.
"Haha! Professor Luo, has Liangzhou University fallen so low that they let someone like you guard the gate?"
The speaker was a bald old man with a tuft of goatee beard and a black mole on his cheek, which was particularly prominent because of a single hair growing out of it.
Upon hearing this voice, Elder Luo nearly exploded; he immediately stood up and glared at the newcomer angrily, "What are you doing here?"
"Isn't it just to escort Hou Chengwu back to our Qingzhou University, specially came to bid you farewell? After all, you've taken such good care of him these past few days, it's only proper for him to show some manners, isn't it?" the goatee-bearded old man said with a smug yet insincere grin.
[Host: Ren Jianghai]
[SR level, Threshold System]
[Realm——]
The description of this system wasn't very clear; the opponent's strength was obviously above Meridian Opening, and Xiang Beifei couldn't see it nor could he infer anything from the name of the system.
Next to this man named Ren Jianghai was a young man about Xiang Beifei's age, who looked arrogant and somewhat slack in his demeanor.
Xiang Beifei was slightly surprised because he saw the system interface of this person:
[Host: Hou Chengwu]
[SSR level, Shadow Saint System]
[Realm: Late Qi Mastery]
Huh? This guy, is he the SSR that Elder Luo mentioned?
The genius Awakener who took a huge favor from Liangzhou University and then didn't switch sides to Liangzhou University?
This was Xiang Beifei's first encounter with an SSR-level Awakener; up till now, he had only seen people with SR systems. Except for Elder Luo's system, which was rather special and visible to him, the cultivation of other SR-level Awakeners was too high, beyond his sight.
Let alone an SSR!
However, it was clear that this SSR person appeared to be a freshman, and his cultivation was still within a range that he could see!
"This fellow student looks familiar!"
Ren Jianghai sized up Xiang Beifei and soon recalled something, revealing a smile that seemed mocking, "Got it, the freshman N-level student newly recruited by Liangzhou University this year, the one who was the top scorer originally, right?"
Xiang Beifei's photo was still circulating quite a bit.
After he finished speaking, the SSR young man slightly frowned, turned his face to look at Xiang Beifei, and soon his eyes showed a trace of disdain.
An N-level, what is he in front of an SSR?
