If Xiang Beifei had been undergoing physical training since he was eight, it took him ten years just to reach the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling. Yuchi Shen even felt that Xiang Beifei's cultivation was too slow!
The most important thing was that with an N-level talent, it was very difficult to step into the Meridian Opening phase through body cultivation!
Without a decade or so, it was simply impossible!
He knew Xiang Beifei's punches were hard now, but everyone was only just starting out; SR students had awakened their systems less than four months ago, and their current cultivation was not too high. Basically, all of them were only in the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling, and now in a fight, they probably couldn't beat Xiang Beifei.
But what about in a few months? A year later? Two years later?
As an SR-level Awakener, Yuchi Shen knew very well just how great the potential of the SR system was; their increase in cultivation was extremely fast, leaving N-level body cultivators far behind.
A year later, without any surprises, the SR Awakeners would have already reached the Meridian Opening phase, while N-level body cultivators might still be stuck in the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling!
An N-level, the worst System Awakener, and three SR-level people living in the same dormitory—initially, he could use his fists to intimidate the SR. But half a year later, he would probably have to live under the pressure of the soaring cultivation of SR-level students every day!
Watching his SR-level dormmates advance by leaps and bounds, leaving the N-level him far behind, Xiang Beifei, an N-level cultivator, could only tread in place, watching their backs longingly, then hating himself for his poor talent, as well as resenting heaven and earth...
"Let the SR-level ones have a comparison with you so that you will understand the gap between you and others, right?" Yuchi Shen couldn't help but think.
A single N-level chicken among three SR-level phoenixes. The chicken would inevitably feel inferior in the presence of the phoenixes and might silently become the stepping stone for the three phoenixes to complete their system tasks. Whether in studying or cultivation, in a few months, they would be relentlessly suppressed by the phoenixes.
The chicken, under immense pressure, would, over time, end up with a significant psychological shadow...
That day, Xiang Beifei openly challenged Yuchi Shen's face in front of so many people and even caused him to be reprimanded by Elder Luo. How could Yuchi Shen just let it go?
To tell the truth, he didn't hate Xiang Beifei that much. His making things difficult for Xiang Beifei was purely because he saw the shadow of Xiang Tianxing in him, which made him very uncomfortable.
He felt that these three SR newcomers could definitely help him suppress Xiang Beifei!

Xiang Beifei probably also understood Yuchi Shen's plan.
If it were an ordinary N-level Awakener living with three SR-level roommates, the outcome would be quite miserable! You wouldn't know what the other party's system was, and you might be used as a target for the SR system's tasks every day, while also enduring the pressure of higher cultivation levels.
But the problem was——
Xiang Beifei was no ordinary chicken!
"Aren't you just sending warmth my way?" Xiang Beifei muttered.
Yuchi Shen thought he could arrange for three SR-level Awakeners to bring mental pressure on Xiang Beifei and make him feel inferior in cultivation——
However, Yuchi Shen could never have dreamed that what Xiang Beifei wasn't afraid of was others messing with him.
The last SSR prodigy who provoked him had already been added to his shopping cart, just waiting to be claimed after a while.
Bring on three more SRs. If they dared to provoke him, he would place the order directly. Living in the same dormitory, he could even save on shipping!
[Current martial arts ability you need to master: Poetic Kill]
[The verse you're currently comprehending: Chaotic stone piercing sky, alarming waves crash against the shore, rolling up a thousand piles of snow]
...
"This ability is quite interesting,"
Xiang Beifei was quite astonished.
The way SR-level Awakeners become stronger was pretty simple. For example, Elder Luo's way was just counting ducks and watching ants move house.
Li Zimu's method of becoming stronger involved reading books, grasping the artistic conception within them, and extracting power from all kinds of texts.
Currently, he had only comprehended two verses, one of which was "Vast ocean frozen, lament clouds bleak and miles thick," and the other being the one he was currently on, "Chaotic stone piercing sky, alarming waves crash against the shore, rolling up a thousand piles of snow."
Though it was only two verses, just these two can act as a major offensive move! He could use his own spiritual power to create the scenes depicted in the poems, take control of their artistic conception, and let the verses burst forth with formidable combat power!
"A martial path through a literary system, that's indeed rare,"
Xiang Beifei did not underestimate Li Zimu, just as he couldn't underestimate Chen Xiuqin's [Precarious] ability. An ability like [Poetic Kill] was very special and powerful.
For instance, "Chaotic stone piercing sky, alarming waves crash against the shore, rolling up a thousand piles of snow," he could even imagine Li Zimu gesturing during a fight, the sky and earth changing dramatically, countless stones falling from the sky, and overwhelming waves engulfing his opponents!
Currently, at the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling, the power may not seem great, but this is just one of the verses. With thousands upon thousands of poems in the world, if he patiently comprehends each one, the artistic conception of every verse could become a move. As an SR-level with such ability, his future looks promising.
Moreover, he grows stronger just by reading text, with hardly any restrictions whatsoever.

...
This guy just reads books, novels, others' writings in his daily life, even comprehending the emotions of the person who wrote their name, then grows stronger unconsciously.
He's not much different from Elder Luo, the great idler. The only difference is that Li Zimu's system values are normal, unlike Elder Luo's whimsical way of resetting stats, for which no second similar case has been found yet.
But Li Zimu's Poetic Kill is also quite impressive.
