Chapter 515: Chapter 388: It Must Be Symmetrical! (4000 words)
However, Hou Chengwu and Zhu Xinjue were filled with endless murderous intent.
“What are we waiting for? If we want him out of the game, we must take him down first!” Hou Chengwu shouted.
This time facing Xiang Beifei, he already had enough confidence. Although he didn’t know how he had lost during the last match on the platform, now with four against one, he considered Xiang Beifei as good as dead in his eyes!
Hou Chengwu gritted his teeth and said, “Today, I will make you pay the price!”
That day, as an SSR himself, he was thrown into a trash bin, completely disgraced. Today, he must kill Xiang Beifei!
“Three against two, not too bad, not too terrible.” Xiang Beifei said.
“Three against two?”
Zhu Xinjue scoffed, “Are you scared stupid by us? Can’t even count the numbers now? It’s four of us against you alone!”
“President Ren is so esteemed and respected; he himself said that names don’t matter, strength does. A senior who can say such words must have a broad mind. How would he care about trifles like names with me? As a proud student of President Ren, why is your philosophy not aligned with his?”
Xiang Beifei looked at Hou Chengwu puzzledly and then said, “Haven’t you learned even the slightest from him?”
His words were seamless: first, he sarcastically remarked on Ren Jianghai, then immediately elevated Ren Jianghai to a high pedestal, making it impossible for Ren Jianghai to lash out over Xiang Beifei’s jest about names, and simultaneously subtly insulted Hou Chengwu without leaving a trace.
“You…”
Hou Chengwu was so infuriated by Xiang Beifei that his face turned red.
In midair, Li Zimu stood there, looking down in surprise and said, “They actually can’t tell.”
The flood here was a transformation of Li Zimu’s Poetry Realm. Li Zimu’s Poetry Realm had reached a stage where true and false were indistinguishable. However, Hou Chengwu and Chen Baiwen, being SSRs a level higher and more cultivated than him, should not be in such a sorry state.
“Of course they can’t tell. Not one of them is a spiritual type System Awakener.” Xiang Beifei said.
Xiang Beifei’s spiritual power was adhered to the Poetry Realm created by Li Zimu, so even though Li Zimu was only at the later stages of Qi-Controlling, the flood he created had the power of Meridian Opening phase!
As for the suppression due to system levels, with Xiang Beifei there, the so-called superiority of the SSR system was just a decoration.
He specifically sought Li Zimu’s help to trap this group.
But after walking a distance, a fork suddenly appeared ahead!
Xiang Beifei’s shadow reappeared at the fork, but then disappeared again on this path.
“Which way should we go?” Hou Chengwu asked Chen Baiwen anxiously.
“Don’t know, no traces.” Chen Baiwen shook his head.
“Forget it, let’s split into two groups. It’ll be faster.” Zhu Xinjue said.
“Splitting into two groups means dispersing our power. If we encounter Xiang Beifei, do you really think you stand a chance against him?” Chen Baiwen asked.
“Xiang Beifei is obviously being chased by that desolate beast. How could we not have a chance if we encounter him?” Zhu Xinjue said.
After a brief discussion, they decided to split up but agreed that if they encountered Xiang Beifei, they would first signal the others. If they couldn’t find anyone after half an hour, they would regroup here.
To ensure mutual trust, they mixed up the members from both sides. Zhu Xinjue and Yu Hongbo, He Qiutong took one route, while Chen Baiwen and Hou Chengwu took another.
Hou Chengwu and Chen Baiwen, accompanied by three SRs, took the left path. Chen Baiwen appeared deeply preoccupied, but Hou Chengwu still warned, “Don’t forget our agreement.”
Xiang Beifei vaguely understood and said, “Digesting memory?”
Desolate beasts eating other desolate beasts’ brains could sometimes digest the memories of those beasts – meaning all that the eaten beast had seen and heard could be absorbed by another.
If the green caterpillar was squished by Long Guocheng, it means the caterpillar had seen Xiang Beifei and his people!
Even though the caterpillar didn’t understand human language, images would still remain in its mind!
So, what exactly did they say when they encountered the green caterpillar? Had it remembered anything?
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
Eating the brains of other desolate beasts to make up for one’s own deficiencies and expand one’s knowledge, the more they consume, the higher the intelligence these desolate beasts inevitably possess!
Powerful but simple-minded desolate beasts are not frightening, the ones with high intelligence are the most terrifying!
Right now, we just don’t know what impression the green caterpillar, which was stomped to death by Long Guocheng, left about them.
Li Zimu’s stone house was stacked with many rooms, everyone was separated by one room, there were no beds, no quilts, although it was crude, things weren’t so particular in the desolate wilderness outside the domain.
When Xiang Beifei returned from his shift, Long Guocheng was leaning against the door with his hands crossed in front of him and asked, “Can I ask you a question?”
“What?” Xiang Beifei said.
“You’re not a N-level Awakener, are you? You’re at least an SR, right?”
“Is that important to you?”
“It would make me feel better,” Long Guocheng said reluctantly.
If he lost to an SR like Li Zimu, he wouldn’t feel too embarrassed because the opponent’s talents were no less than his, both being SR, losing once could be won back the next time.
But losing to an N-level Awakener left a knot in his heart.
“That’s your own problem, it has nothing to do with me,” Xiang Beifei didn’t like explaining his system to others.
Because he didn’t have a system at all.
“We are a team! I’ve told you all about my abilities! But we all don’t know yours! As a team, we should understand each other better.” Long Guocheng stressed.
“Now you admit you’re part of a team? I thought you always liked to show off,” Xiang Beifei said.
Long Guocheng snorted, offering no retort to that.
He did indeed like to show off, as he couldn’t earn system points otherwise.
“If you tell me you are SR or SSR, then I would accept my loss wholeheartedly,” Long Guocheng said.
“So you just look down on people with a lower system rank than yours? What’s wrong with being N-level? What about R-level? How about S-level? Aside from cultivation improvements, how are they inferior to you in character, morals, personality… that you need to despise them? Do you really enjoy feeling superior to those lower in the system?” Xiang Beifei said sternly.
“I…” Long Guocheng was at a loss for words.
He looked down on people with lesser talents than his, because he believed that these people would never amount to anything, especially the bottom-tier N-level Awakeners.
He only respected the strong.
But his pride was always shattered by Xiang Beifei.
He hoped that Xiang Beifei’s system rank was SR, or even SSR, which he could accept, so that the defeat by Xiang Beifei wouldn’t be too demoralizing, and he could maintain his deeply-held prideful principles.
But what he couldn’t accept was the fact that Xiang Beifei was an N-level!
“I just don’t believe that N-level Awakeners have such potential, their system is so useless, they achieve so little in a lifetime, they couldn’t possibly have such strength,” Long Guocheng clenched his teeth.
“Why can’t N-level Awakeners defeat an SR? Shang Tianxiong is also an N-level Awakener, how many people can exceed him? People with strength can kill an SSR even if they’re SR! We all live in this world, we are all human, you’re not nobler than anyone. You just started higher than others, it doesn’t mean your future is higher, you should stay humble,” Xiang Beifei stated.
After saying this, Xiang Beifei went straight back to his own compartment.
“Humble, huh?”
Long Guocheng’s expression flickered, pondering Xiang Beifei’s words.

Late in the evening, around nine o’clock, Ye Changfeng gathered everyone together, holding a copy of the competition schedule and rules for the next day.
Elder Luo said, “We need to discuss tomorrow’s situation first,
