He knew Xiang Beifei was someone who disliked fighting with others, which made it easy for him to be bullied. Since childhood, whenever Xiang Beifei was troubled by others, it was always Kong Xiuwen who stepped in to deal with it with his fists. But now in university, Kong Xiuwen no longer had the ability to handle SR-level Awakeners.
However, Kong Xiuwen was aware that he was an S-level, and in his opinion, he progressed faster than the N-level Xiang Beifei. Therefore, he planned to rely on these Beast Pills to quickly enhance his cultivation, for only with his own strength could he better protect this guy. Then he could also use higher-level system items to help Xiang Beifei.
"Understood."
Xiang Beifei nodded and waved his hand as he walked toward his dormitory.
Watching Xiang Beifei's somewhat lonely figure, Kong Xiuwen thought, "No, I must hasten my cultivation to see if I can try to contend with an SR. Otherwise, those three SR-levels will turn this guy into a muggle!"
Though he was surprised about Xiang Beifei scoring high on the entrance exams, within the Martial Arts College, scores were not the most crucial aspect; power was.
He had never seen Xiang Beifei fight anyone and did not believe those unfounded rumors. He was used to being Xiang Beifei's rock, and with his parents mandating him to take extra care of the N-level Xiang Beifei, he wasn't about to let Xiang Beifei fend for himself.
Kong Xiuwen turned and walked toward his own dormitory, planning to cultivate using these Beast Pills tonight.

Long Guocheng hadn't returned to the dormitory since noon, wandering around the Martial Arts College of Liangzhou University. Being an SR-level Awakener, their photos were almost all circulated by well-informed folks, these photos not being confidential; they were basically impossible to conceal.
Not even a day into the school and many already recognized what Long Guocheng looked like.
In the afternoon wherever he went, he was stared at by students, many seniors whispered among themselves, and numerous freshmen revered him, greatly boosting his attention value.
Watching his attention value soar, Long Guocheng's shadow over Xiang Beifei faded slightly; after all, he was a genuine SR-level Awakener, admired by so many!
This soon revived his confidence as an SR, and he straightened up, exuding a cool aloofness again!
"It must have been just an oversight at noon."
Long Guocheng spent the whole afternoon sitting by the lakeside, enjoying the scenery, surrounded by many onlookers, as if they were admiring a rare animal. He didn't mind; the more people watching, the stronger he became.
He wished everyone would come and see him!
Many students even secretly photographed him, then discussed it on the school forum.
"SR-level genius Long Guocheng sitting by the lakeside, his pose, his looks, his aura, simply stunning! Highly talented and handsome, how can someone be so perfect!"
The discussion thread was instantly pushed to the top.
"Exactly, I heard his family is very wealthy, a company president's privileged son! Just now, he glanced at me accidentally, and boy, my heart raced!"
"Pfft, aren't you a guy? What heart racing nonsense!"
"I'm a girl, let me say, his gaze was domineering and aloof, he looked at me once and I couldn't help but blush. Ahhh! He's just like the male lead from those domineering CEO novels! Seems like he's popular with both men and women!"
Great news!
Long Guocheng instantly relaxed, quickly did a facial verification, opened the dormitory door, and rushed inside.
Everyone else had gone out for dinner; he was alone in the dormitory without that guy around, making the whole room feel more relaxed.
But still, he would have to come back later. He must hold steady!
Long Guocheng remembered that he had brought a few bottles of top-notch Jiuzhou dry red wine from home. As someone from a wealthy, noble family with very high taste, he only drank prestigious beverages. Each of these bottles was worth quite a bit, starting from tens of thousands.
He took out a wine glass, poured some wine into it, and swirled it gently.
The aroma of the wine was intoxicating.
"Drinking some wine should bolster my courage! I must not let myself be shadowed by such an N-level trifle!"
Long Guocheng sat on the chair, legs crossed, and found the most comfortable position, sipping the red wine lightly.
A noble life requires noble pleasures. He had always pursued a high-quality life, every move filled with the charm of a noble.
This is what an SR elite looks like indeed!
A mouthful of wine turned into a warm current that flowed directly to his brain, making the Spiritual Power inside him flow much smoother.
Long Guocheng felt his confidence gradually warm up.
An N-level loser is just an N-level loser, how could he compare to a noble SR like me?
Long Guocheng's blood heated up again, his courage growing, and he was even eager to face Xiang Beifei for another three hundred rounds!
Drinking really does embolden me!
Later, he would definitely not dread Xiang Beifei anymore!
He shook his glass once more, preparing to take another sip to further increase his courage.
"Wait till you come back; I'll show you!"
Long Guocheng felt he could now fully face that N-level Body Cultivator, his confidence soaring to an unprecedented level!
But just then, Xiang Beifei had finished saying goodbye to Kong Xiuwen and walked into the dormitory, his puzzled gaze falling on Long Guocheng.
Pfft!
Long Guocheng reflexively trembled, his body involuntarily shivering, the wine in his mouth sprayed everywhere, nearly choking him.
Damn! So much for that courage!
