When System Cheat Becomes Rampant!
/ When system cheat becomes rampant! Chapter 357 – Chapter 357 Chapter 251 Only I Can Be Difficult
Chapter 357: Chapter 251: Only I Can Be Difficult Chapter 357: Chapter 251: Only I Can Be Difficult “That explains it! No wonder he was able to summon a desolate beast to pursue us, and even sprouted tentacles afterwards. Turns out he was already killed by the desolate beast; no wonder he had the strength of the Meridian Opening stage! The professor's words really opened my eyes!”
Xiang Beifei spoke succinctly and didn't forget to offer some praise.
Yang Chengze's eyes gradually brightened!
Indeed, only this answer could solve all the issues!
Because Zhu Pengfei's strength at the Meridian Opening stage was first discovered when he entered the foreign desolate domain.
Thus, if anyone questions why Zhu Pengfei had the strength of the Meridian Opening stage, they could assume that Zhu Pengfei was killed by the desolate beast after entering the foreign desolate domain and then impersonated by the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage.
In that case, his cheating in the competition couldn't be pursued, and Yanzhou University wouldn't be denounced by the other eight universities.
Explaining the revelation of his Meridian Opening stage cultivation level in the murder of Hou Chengwu also made sense. The SSR Hou Chengwu of Qingzhou University was killed. They could argue that it was because the desolate beast, disguised as Zhu Pengfei, was too cunning, instigating conflict within the two teams, leading to their mutual destruction.
Thus, the death of SSR Hou Chengwu had nothing to do with Yanzhou University. Qingzhou University had no means to pursue Yanzhou University's responsibility!
Whether Xiang Beifei ended up killing Zhu Pengfei afterwards no longer mattered.
Yang Chengze couldn't seek justice for Zhu Pengfei anymore, for he had no evidence that Xiang Beifei killed Zhu Pengfei; perhaps Zhu Pengfei was indeed just disguised by a desolate beast?
This explanation actually addressed all of Yang Chengze's current concerns.
The UR seeking justice for his grandson wouldn't target Yang Chengze but would have to pursue the matter with the league officials for negligence, blame the cunning desolate beast, and Yanzhou University's reputation would also be preserved without the fear of denouncement from other universities.
Thus, everyone was happy!
“I really have to thank this young man; a few words from him clarified the matter and resolved all the troubles.”
Yang Ze heaved a big sigh of relief!
He originally planned to pin the blame on Xiang Beifei, yet with Xiang Beifei's guidance, this idea was completely crushed. In his subconscious, blaming Xiang Beifei for this incident became pointless.
We are honest people who value evidence!
The more Yang Chengze thought about it, the more he believed that Zhu Pengfei was killed by the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage!
Exactly! Zhu Pengfei must have just been unlucky!
His death had nothing to do with Xiang Beifei at all!
Yang Chengze now even thought that Zhu Xinjue being killed by the desolate beast was a stroke of luck!
——
“Let's put this matter aside for now, and quickly check on our numbers to see exactly how many students we are missing!”
Yang Chengze didn't dwell on the issue anymore and even his hostility towards Xiang Beifei dissipated.
Somehow, he even felt grateful towards Xiang Beifei.
It turns out, this young fellow wasn't as annoying as he seemed initially, quite a talent and pleasant to talk to; I really like such students.
Yuchi Shen stared coldly at Yang Chengze but said nothing more.
Xiang Beifei also didn't continue speaking.
Because further probing into this matter was pointless for him too.
SR's Yang Chengze and that UR couldn't possibly be brought down by such an issue. A SSR who had inadvertently led to the deaths of hundreds of martial artists had the upper echelons of the league pleading for him; let alone a powerful UR Awakener!
Given the UR's status within the league, Zhu Yiji wouldn't likely suffer any real damage, at most his reputation would be slightly tarnished, and he would ceremonially concede fault with three symbolic toasts—hardly painful or itchy, and the league might even forcefully suppress such a scandal using UR-level measures.
But after this, Xiang Beifei would have to face Zhu Yiji's retaliation.
Currently without sufficient power, there was no need to confront Zhu Yiji head-on.
Xiang Beifei also wasn't in a hurry to deal with Yang Chengze, now using Yang Chengze's “Subtle Influence” system to invertly control Yang Chengze's thought process meant that he held an ace up his sleeve!
Since Yang Chengze had connections with Zhu Yiji and, as the system logs showed, had received many benefits from Zhu Yiji, Xiang Beifei could well leverage Yang Chengze in the future.
Just by saying a few words, Xiang Beifei could make Yang Chengze subconsciously regard him as an ally, providing him with much information about Zhu Yiji.
Truthfully, Xiang Beifei had no immediate designs against the league or any intention of overthrowing Zhu Yiji.
However, since the league had sent an SSR of literary Dao like Wei Tong to manage their Martial Arts College at Liangzhou University and intimidate Elder Luo, Xiang Beifei had to keep some tricks up his sleeve.
When necessary, he would naturally stand with Elder Luo to deal with Zhu Yiji.
——
——
The occurrences in the Withered Forest were too bizarre, and Yang Chengze took others to demarcate a safe area, leaving many students to attend to their injuries. Only Yuchi Shen and Xiang Beifei were left.
Suddenly, Yuchi Shen waved his hand, setting up a barely visible boundary around them, shielding all eavesdropping.
Xiang Beifei found himself encircled but wasn't too surprised.
This was his first time alone with Yuchi Shen.
After a pause, Yuchi Shen coldly said, “Don't admit to anything.”
“What?” Xiang Beifei looked at Yuchi Shen.
“No matter who you killed, don't admit to it,” Yuchi Shen said.
Xiang Beifei furrowed his brow.
He certainly wouldn't admit it, admission was unnecessary.
It would bring significant trouble to both Liangzhou University and himself.
What puzzled him was Yuchi Shen's behavior.
“I thought you were someone who abided by the rules.”
Xiang Beifei stared at Yuchi Shen's system interface.
Yuchi Shen possessed the Blade of the Seven Sins, and he abhorred those who committed the seven deadly sins. Anyone guilty would be suppressed by him. Could such a person really bend the law for personal gain?
“That depends on whom it concerns.”
“I don't understand,” Xiang Beifei said.
Yuchi Shen's gaze shifted to Yang Chengze, who was treating other students' injuries in the distance, and he slowly said, “Rules are only used to deal with those who follow them.”
Huh?
Xiang Beifei pondered over those words, faintly grasping something.
After a moment of silence, Xiang Beifei spoke again, “I recall that you dislike me.”
“You're quite self-aware.”
Yuchi Shen looked at Xiang Beifei disdainfully, scanning him from head to toe, his eyes filled with the same scorn as when he first met Xiang Beifei.
“From your name, your hair, your appearance, to every part of you, there is nothing that pleases my eye,” Yuchi Shen did not hide his disdain for Xiang Beifei.
“Then why did you stand in front of me when he was giving me a hard time?” Xiang Beifei asked.
Yuchi Shen not only stood in front, but he also took action against Yang Chengze, causing Yang Chengze to be terrified!
It felt as if he was standing up for Xiang Beifei.
Normally, Xiang Beifei could only see this kind of protective attitude in Elder Luo and Ye Changfeng, who naturally defended Xiang Beifei.
But Yuchi Shen?
Just ask anyone randomly, and they would know it was unlikely.
Yet, he did take action, and was extremely biased toward Xiang Beifei, giving Yang Chengze no chance to trouble him.
Yuchi Shen snorted disdainfully, his gaze wandering off into the distance as if he was observing something. After a long while, he withdrew his gaze, stared at Xiang Beifei with eyes that seemed to suggest Xiang Beifei had asked a foolish question.
“Because only I am allowed to give trouble to the students of Liangzhou University!”
Yuchi Shen's tone was cold as if stating a simple truth.
Xiang Beifei looked at Yuchi Shen in surprise.
“Outsiders can't intervene?”
“They're not worthy.”
He seemed reluctant to talk anymore with Xiang Beifei, turned around to remove the barrier, and then walked toward the stone forest to handle the current situation, as he was also a referee into assist.
Xiang Beifei watched this person's retreating figure curiously.
Suddenly, he recalled the words Ye Changfeng had mentioned to him on the plane about Yuchi Shen.
Ye Changfeng said that Yuchi Shen was a very problematic person, petty, annoying, and loved to torment students.
But when it came to major issues, he was never ambiguous.
This guy was indeed strange.
It seemed that Xiang Beifei never really understood Yuchi Shen before.
——
Yuchi Shen and Yang Chengze had been notifying others to come over, and soon Xiang Beifei realized, he had already left the Marquis Domain of the second danger level!
This was the Tranquil Domain of the third danger level!
No wonder the SOS Talisman and Forfeit Talisman were useless; Ghost Whiskers of Remnant Visage must have used some method to transport them thousands of miles away to the Tranquil Domain, the distance was too great, making the SOS Talisman and Forfeit Talisman ineffective!
Many students, after entering the withered forest, encountered attacks by treemen and fled to the mountains. Some students were quite capable of escaping; after all, everyone was either SR or SSR, with very strong system abilities. Facing Ghostly Visage and treemen, even if they couldn't defeat them, they could still manage to escape.
However, they were originally scattered across the withered forest, but after the forest disappeared, they reappeared and did not vanish with the disappearance of the forest. So, presently, Yang Chengze and Yuchi Shen were gathering all the scattered student teams.
The news was sent back, and within an hour, many more teachers hurried over, including Ye Changfeng and Elder Luo.
Only after seeing that the five students from their school were all safe did they breathe a sigh of relief.
“Is everything okay?” Elder Luo asked with a grave expression.
“Yes, everyone is safe,” Xiang Beifei said.
Elder Luo then carefully checked each person again to ensure that no one was harboring any hidden injuries, although Sun Heshun had already examined them.
“I thought the Alliance would react quicker. When our Forfeit Talismans and SOS Talismans became ineffective, didn't the Alliance notice?” Xiang Beifei asked.
With the Alliance's capabilities, something as critical as Forfeit Talismans and SOS Talismans should always be monitored.
“The matter is complicated. The Alliance detected it right away, but a beast tide suddenly erupted in the area you were at, and countless desolate beasts became very aggressive. We were about to end the competition and pull all of you back, but then we found that students from seven schools, including yours, couldn't return,”
Ye Changfeng spoke with a serious expression, beginning to recount the events.
