Chapter 510: Chapter 386: One Sentence! (4000 words)

But after walking a short distance, a fork in the road suddenly appeared!

Xiang Beifei’s tracks reappeared at the fork, but then vanished once again on this new path.

“Which way should we go?” Hou Chengwu asked Chen Baiwen in an urgent tone.

“I don’t know, there are no tracks,” Chen Baiwen shook his head.

“Forget it, let’s split up and take separate ways, it will be faster,” Zhu Xinjue suggested.

“If we split up, we’re dividing our strength. If we encounter Xiang Beifei, do you really think we stand a chance against him?” Chen Baiwen questioned.

“Xiang Beifei is clearly being hunted by that desolate beast. If we run into him, how could we not have a chance?” Zhu Xinjue retorted.

After a brief discussion, they ultimately decided to go their separate ways, but all agreed that if they encountered Xiang Beifei, they would first send a signal to the others, and if they couldn’t find anyone after half an hour, they would regroup at this location.

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

Hou Chengwu and Chen Baiwen took three SR members and went left. Chen Baiwen seemed preoccupied with heavy thoughts, but Hou Chengwu still cautioned, “Don’t forget our agreement.”

Xiang Beifei faintly understood and said, “Digest memories?”

A desolate beast, after devouring the brain of another desolate beast, can sometimes extract the memories of its prey, meaning that what the latter had seen and heard could be digested by the predator.

If that green-haired caterpillar was crushed by Long Guocheng, it means that the caterpillar had seen Xiang Beifei and his people!

Even if the green-haired caterpillar couldn’t understand human language, the images and scenes would still be imprinted in its mind!

What exactly did they say when they encountered the green-haired caterpillar, and did it commit those words to memory?

To eat the brains of other desolate beasts in order to compensate for their own shortcomings, to expand their own knowledge—thus, the more they consume, the greater their wisdom inevitably becomes!

Desolate beasts with great strength but simple minds aren’t frightening, the ones with high intelligence are the most terrifying!

The question now is what sort of impression of themselves had the green-haired caterpillar, crushed by Long Guocheng, left behind.

Li Zimu’s stone cottage had many rooms built, with everyone separated by one another, without beds or blankets. Although quite spartan, such details weren’t too important in the harsh lands beyond the borders.

When Xiang Beifei returned from his shift, Long Guocheng was leaning against the door, hands crossed in front of him, and he asked, “Can I ask you a question?”

“What is it?” Xiang Beifei said.

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

“Is that very important to you?”

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

If he had lost to the SR-ranked Li Zimu, he wouldn’t feel too embarrassed. After all, the other’s talent was no less than his. They were both SR-ranked, and if he lost, he could always win back the next time.

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

“That’s your problem, not mine,” Xiang Beifei said, not liking to explain his system to others.

Because he didn’t have a system at all.

“We’re a team! I’ve told you all about my abilities! But we know nothing about yours! If we’re a team, there should be mutual understanding,” Long Guocheng emphasized.

“Oh, now you admit we’re a team? I thought you liked to show off,” Xiang Beifei remarked.

Long Guocheng snorted but didn’t refute the point.

He indeed liked to stand out because without doing so, he couldn’t collect system points.

“If you tell me you’re SR or SSR, I’d accept my defeat wholeheartedly,” Long Guocheng declared.

“So you’re looking down on those whose system level is lower than yours? What’s wrong with being N-level? Or R-level? Or S-level? Besides their cultivation level, how are they inferior to you in character, morality, or behavior? Do they deserve your contempt? Do you enjoy finding a sense of superiority over those with a lower system?” Xiang Beifei spoke sternly.

“I…” Long Guocheng was rendered speechless.

He looked down on those less talented than himself, seeing them as having no future prospects, especially the lowly N-level Awakeners.

He only respected the strong.

But his pride always seemed to be shattered by Xiang Beifei.

Deep down, he hoped that Xiang Beifei’s system was SR-level, or even SSR. Then, being defeated by Xiang Beifei wouldn’t be too frustrating, and his long-held principles of pride could remain intact.

But what he couldn’t accept was the fact that Xiang Beifei might actually be an N-level!

“I just don’t believe that an N-level Awakener has such potential. With such a useless system, they’ll only ever achieve so much, they couldn’t possibly have such strength,” Long Guocheng said through clenched teeth.

“Why can’t an N-level Awakener defeat an SR? How many people are there who can surpass Shang Tianxiong, also an N-level Awakener? Someone truly capable can kill an SSR even if they are just SR! We all live in this world, we are all human, you are not nobler than anyone else. You merely have a higher starting point, but that doesn’t mean you’ll end up higher than others in the future, one should remain humble,” Xiang Beifei spoke.

After finishing his statement, Xiang Beifei went straight back to his own compartment.

“Humble, huh?”

Long Guocheng’s face shifted between clouds and sunshine as he pondered Xiang Beifei’s words.

At around nine in the evening, Ye Changfeng gathered everyone up. He had obtained the schedule and rules for the matches the next day.

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