When system cheat becomes rampant!

Desolate beasts were commonplace to martial artists but rarely encountered by civilians. As one such martial artist, Xiang Beifei naturally engaged in promotional activities for martial artists.

"That's great. I'll help you promote. Being renowned, one needs to focus on a field, and as a martial artist, you must do so in the way of a martial artist,"

Chen Xiuqin was also partly involved in the entertainment industry, having dealt with numerous stars and acquainting herself with the ins and outs of marketing. Being Xiang Beifei's number one "mama fan," Chen Xiuqin was more than happy to aid him.

Thus, the matter was settled. Xiang Beifei didn't need to do much. Once the next semester began and he went to the outer domain wilderness for missions, he would simply shoot a few videos—quite an easy task.

But then again—

"Does she really think she can do whatever she wants with my fame?"

The last person who tried to profit from Xiang Beifei's fame had already been dealt with by him.

This time, without consulting him, they rashly decided to make him a figurehead, obviously intending to thrust him into the limelight on purpose.

The alliance's motive for exposing such a genius was quite clear.

Primarily, it was because Xiang Beifei was trained by Elder Luo!

Elder Luo and the alliance were not on good terms, and alliance members even dreaded him, as they couldn't suppress such an SR-ranked Awakener who disobeyed alliance commands. They feared Elder Luo's influence growing within Liangzhou University.

With Xiang Beifei emerging as a genius, it only increased the threat to them!

That's why they wanted to target Xiang Beifei!

A normal person, once exposed, would find it hard to remain low-key; wherever they went, they would attract attention.

By exposing Xiang Beifei this way, they forcefully made him align with the alliance and placed him under the surveillance of everyone in Jiuzhou. Subsequently, Xiang Beifei would hardly be able to oppose the alliance in secret; his every action watched closely by the alliance.

In the end, the alliance would dictate how Xiang Beifei was to comply.

According to the alliance, Xiang Beifei would become a chess piece to counterbalance Elder Luo, uniquely isolating and monitoring Elder Luo, diminishing his influence.

But Mu Yiqing wouldn't truly believe that she would obediently follow her plans, would she?

"Becoming a benchmark N-level Awakener means the initiative is in my hands,"

Xiang Beifei

Was his name, the way out of the Withered Forest?

A coincidence?

Or...

Xiang Beifei felt incredulous.

His long-lost father, who had been out of touch, named him at a time when he was still merely an infant. How was he so sure that he would encounter Youmeng?

Did he casually decide on his son's name just like that?

Could he not take naming a bit more seriously!

This SSR-level System Awakener possessed the ability to set rules; wherever there were rules around, she could increase her system value, and likewise, working according to the established rules would add to her system value.

In short, as long as there were rules in a place, she could grow stronger.

Those who didn't follow the rules would not be able to hide in her presence.

While examining Mu Yiqing's system log, Xiang Beifei glimpsed an entry that outlined one of her regulated activities:

[You have formulated the "Jiuzhou Scheme for SR Talent Selection and Planning," which has been approved by Alliance Planning Minister Zhu Yiji and is now officially a rule, currently being followed by 2546 individuals, your rule value +2546]

The Jiuzhou Alliance's planning department is responsible for setting and revising systems to manage all aspects of the alliance and the development of Jiuzhou.

Simply put, as a UR-ranked individual, Zhu Yiji sets the rules.

Xiang Beifei had only now realized Zhu Yiji's position within the alliance.

The one who sets the rules, leading the way in breaking them, extracting his grandson from prison was truly miraculous.

As it turned out, Mu Yiqing also belonged to Zhu Yiji.

It was unclear if she was involved in the supposed death-sentenced Zhu Xinjue's makeover and rebirth that freed him from prison.

Xiang Beifei soon spotted a system log entry from September:

[You amended the regulations on the SR Awakener's bail application, this rule is currently effective for only one person, your rule value +1]

"It seems like there's no getaway anymore."

Xiang Beifei slightly furrowed her brows.

Her system, as long as she amended a rule, could govern many people, basically adding as much to her rule value.

For instance, last time she participated in revising a rule about the enrollment system in Jiuzhou, this rule directly affected five million college entrance examination students in Jiuzhou, her system value rose by 5 million!

Logically speaking, Mu Yiqing possessing this system, should abide by various rules.

However, Xiang Beifei soon thought again.

What are rules?

Rules, after all, are set by people. Since they are set by people, they can naturally be amended by people too.

The amended rules, still being rules, still conform to her system's judgment.

Thus, the higher her position in the alliance, the easier it would be for her to control the rules, making the [Word Spirit Rule System]—which supposedly works by following rules—stronger, essentially enabling her to act as she wishes.

Otherwise, why say the SSR-level system is so powerful?

"Our two schools coordinated with each other in the Withering Forest, collaboratively avoiding danger," Xiang Beifei said, then looking at Ren Jianghai, she said, "We also encountered a student from your Qingzhou University on our way, feel free to ask him."

"Yes, we nearly got wiped out. It was Xiang Beifei and her group who saved me. Later on, we encountered other school teams, warned them about the danger, but they didn't trust us. Only the Yongzhou University team followed us."

Tang He detailed the events, including how they clashed with Yanzhou University, then onto how they encountered Shi Renmei, saw the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, got chased, and were rescued by the Liangzhou team...

After listening, Ren Jianghai also deepened his frown.

But with Tang He stepping forward, he could only let it go.

After all, Tang He was their student from Qingzhou University, Xiang Beifei was reasonable by all means—

"All eleven of you,"

Xiang Beifei didn't ask further, just gazed thoughtfully at Tang He.

Tang He was a normal person, that much was sure, because he had a system interface and the system was still rapidly updating. His [Po Jun Eye System] was a reconnaissance type of system, and it could also swiftly spot an opponent's weak points, defeating them through these vulnerabilities.

Thus far, his system logs all displayed normal, which Xiang Beifei couldn't miss.

However, what puzzled Xiang Beifei was—

This guy, for some reason, had a faint trace of the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage on him!

Was it because he was attacked by the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage that these traces lingered?

As soon as these people appeared, the atmosphere instantly turned sour.

Chen Baiwen, Yu Hongbo, Zhu Xinjue!

It was a team from Yanzhou University!

She hadn't expected them to appear here too!

Zhu Xinjue caught sight of Xiang Beifei in the crowd and his heart skipped a beat, then spite flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

Because their alliance with Qingzhou University had broken down, they had no means to confront Xiang Beifei together.

When Yu Hongbo and Chen Baiwen saw Xiang Beifei, they too were slightly taken aback! The two couldn't help but exchange glances!

Because just yesterday, they had been thinking about teaming up with Qingzhou University to confront Xiang Beifei, but they hadn't found Xiang Beifei and instead Hou Chengwu from Qingzhou University had died.

They also hadn't expected to encounter Xiang Beifei here.

"Don't panic! He probably doesn't know about yesterday's matter!"

Chen Baiwen signalled Yu Hongbo and the others with his eyes, and without speaking, they all understood each other.

Yu Hongbo composed himself and spoke, "Xiang Beifei, I've long heard of your great name, I am Yu Hongbo, the captain of the Yanzhou University team."

Chen Baiwen also nodded slightly but said nothing.
