Chapter 554: Chapter 415 Job Application (4000 words)_2

Hou Chengwu clenched his teeth and said, “Today, you will pay the price!”

That day, despite being an SSR, he was stuffed into a trash bin, losing all his dignity. Today, he must kill Xiang Beifei!

“Three against two, not too bad, not too terrible,” Xiang Beifei remarked.

“Three against two?”

Zhu Xinjue sneered, “Have we scared you silly? Can’t you even count anymore? It’s four of us against just you!”

“President Ren is so revered and respected, he himself has said, ‘Name isn’t important, strength is.’ A senior who can say such things must have a broad mind. How could he mind these trivial matters over names with me? As President Ren’s proud student, why are your principles different from President Ren’s?”

Xiang Beifei looked at Hou Chengwu in confusion and added, “Haven’t you learned even a bit from him?”

His words were watertight, first sarcastically targeting Ren Jianghai, then swiftly elevating Ren Jianghai to a high status so that Ren could not react to Xiang Beifei’s teasing about names, and immediately subtly insulted Hou Chengwu.

“You…”

Hou Chengwu was so infuriated by Xiang Beifei that his face turned red.

In midair, Li Zimu stood there, surprised at the scene below, and said, “They actually can’t tell.”

The flood here was an illusion created by Li Zimu’s Poetry Realm. Li Zimu’s Poetry Realm had reached a level where real and fake were indistinguishable. However, Hou Chengwu and Chen Baiwen were SSRs, a level higher than him, and even more advanced in their cultivation. Logically, they shouldn’t have been this flustered.

“Of course they can’t tell; none of these people are spiritual System Awakeners,” Xiang Beifei stated.

The spiritual power of Xiang Beifei had adhered to the Poetry Realm created by Li Zimu, thus even though Li Zimu was only at a later stage of Qi-Controlling, the flood he created possessed the force of the Meridian Opening stage!

As for the suppression due to system level, with Xiang Beifei present, the so-called superiority of the SSR system was merely a decoration.

He had specifically sought Li Zimu’s help to trap this group of people

However, as they walked on, suddenly a fork in the road appeared ahead!

Traces of Xiang Beifei reappeared at the fork, but then vanished again on this new path.

“Which path should we take?” Hou Chengwu asked Chen Baiwen urgently.

“I don’t know, no traces,” Chen Baiwen shook his head.

“Forget it, let’s split up into two groups; it’ll be quicker that way,” Zhu Xinjue suggested.

“Splitting up into two groups means dispersing our strength. If we encounter Xiang Beifei, do you really think we’d stand a chance?” Chen Baiwen questioned.

“Xiang Beifei is clearly being chased by that desolate beast. If we encounter him, how could we not have a chance?” Zhu Xinjue argued.

After a brief discussion, they decided to split up but agreed to signal the others if they encountered Xiang Beifei. If they couldn’t find anyone within half an hour, they would regroup here.

To ensure mutual trust, they decided to mix members from both groups. Zhu Xinjue and Yu Hongbo, He Qiutong took one path, while Chen Baiwen and Hou Chengwu took another.

Hou Chengwu and Chen Baiwen led three SRs down the left path. Chen Baiwen seemed to be preoccupied, yet Hou Chengwu still cautioned, “Don’t forget our agreement.”

Xiang Beifei seemed to realize something and said, “Digesting memories?”

When a desolate beast eats the brain of another desolate beast, it can sometimes gain the memories of that beast, meaning whatever the other beast had seen and heard could be digested by the one who ate it.

If this green caterpillar was squashed by Long Guocheng, that means it saw Xiang Beifei and these people!

Even if the green caterpillar didn’t understand human language, it would still retain images in its mind!

When they encountered the green caterpillar, what exactly did they say? Was it remembered by the caterpillar?

Eating the brains of other desolate beasts to compensate for their own deficiencies and expand their knowledge implies that the more they eat, the higher the intelligence these desolate beasts will possess!

A powerful but simple-minded desolate beast is not terrifying, but those with high intelligence are the most frightening!

Currently, it’s unknown what impression this caterpillar, squashed by Long Guocheng, left about them.

Li Zimu’s stone house had many rooms piled up; everyone was separated by one room without a bed or quilt. Although it was simple, such arrangement wasn’t much of a concern in the outer wilds.

When Xiang Beifei returned to his duty, Long Guocheng stood with his hands clasped in front of him, leaning against the door, and said, “Can I ask you a question?”

“What?” Xiang Beifei replied.

“You’re not an N-level Awakener, are you? You’re at least SR, right?”

“Is that important to you?”

“It would make me feel better,” Long Guocheng said reluctantly.

If he lost to Li Zimu, an SR-level competitor, he wouldn’t feel too embarrassed, as his talent was not inferior to his, and being both SR, losing now just meant he could win next time.

But losing to an N-level Awakener left a lump in his heart.

“That’s your own problem, nothing to do with me,” Xiang Beifei did not like to explain his own system to people.

Because he did not have a system at all.

“We are a team! I’ve told you all about my abilities! Yet, we do not know yours. As a team, we should have an understanding of each other,” Long Guocheng stressed.

“So now you admit we’re a team? I thought you always liked to hog the limelight,” Xiang Beifei said.

Long Guocheng hummed and did not rebut this point.

He indeed loved hogging the limelight, as without it, he couldn’t accumulate system values.

“If you tell me you are SR or SSR, then I will lose with no hard feelings,” Long Guocheng said.

“Do you look down on people with a lower system level than yours that much? What’s wrong with being an N-level? Or an R-level? Or an S-level? Besides their advancement in cultivation, what about their character, morals, personality… Which aspect is inferior to you that warrants your scorn? Do you really enjoy finding a sense of superiority over those with lower systems?” Xiang Beifei said sternly.

“I…” Long Guocheng was rendered speechless.

He looked down on those with inferior talents because, in his view, they would never amount to anything, especially the lower-ranking N-level Awakeners.

He only respected the strong.

Yet his pride was always shattered in front of Xiang Beifei.

He dearly hoped that Xiang Beifei’s system was SR or even SSR; he could accept it if Xiang Beifei defeated him, allowing him to maintain his cherished principle of pride.

But he absolutely couldn’t accept the fact that Xiang Beifei was an N-level!

“I just can’t believe that an N-level Awakener could have such potential. Their systems are so useless, their achievements so limited in a lifetime. It can’t be possible for them to have such strength,” Long Guocheng gritted his teeth.

“Why can’t an N-level Awakener defeat an SR? Shang Tianxiong is also an N-level Awakener. How many people can surpass him? People with strength can kill an SSR even if they are SR-level! Everyone lives in this world, we are all humans; you are not nobler than anyone. You just had a higher starting point, it doesn’t mean you are higher in the future. It’s better to stay humble,” Xiang Beifei said.

After saying this, Xiang Beifei went directly back to his compartment.

“Humble, huh?”

Long Guocheng’s expression fluctuated as he pondered Xiang Beifei’s words.

Around 9 p.m., Ye Changfeng gathered everyone together. He had obtained the schedule and rules for tomorrow’s competitions.

Elder Luo said, “We need to discuss tomorrow’s situation first; everyone should stay alert.”

Everyone was already familiar with the rules; the freshman competition consisted of individual fights and team pioneering.

For individual fights, nine schools would compete in a round-robin format, with each school facing each other once, which meant each school would fight eight matches, totaling thirty-six matches over two days.

The decision whether to go for Meridian Opening or Qi-Controlling would be decided by rolling dice.

“Tomorrow’s schedule, the first match, Jizhou University versus Yanzhou University
