When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 629 - 464: Void Devouring Insect (4000 words)_2

Other people also saw Xiang Beifei, but because of the flood, they found it difficult to disentangle themselves.

"Yu Hongbo, you keep an eye on these SRs, we will go deal with him!" Hou Chengwu shouted.

"Okay!" Yu Hongbo had to take care of his own subordinates, otherwise the SRs would be directly submerged by the flood.

A trace of ruthlessness appeared in Zhu Xinjue's eyes, and a giant glass sphere appeared in his hand. With a flicker, the glass sphere transformed into an illusory light, enveloping this expanse of void.

"This time I'd like to see where you can run!" Zhu Xinjue sneered.

The glass sphere was a UR-level spatial system item that could render any form of spatial teleportation useless. Since everyone had a Forfeit Talisman, Zhu Xinjue was worried that Xiang Beifei would escape.

Soon, Hou Chengwu, Zhu Xinjue, Chen Baiwen, and He Qiutong had Xiang Beifei completely surrounded, their powerful auras no weaker than the flood, fixing their gaze tightly on Xiang Beifei.

"Xiang Beifei, although I know you are strong, now that there are four of us, I still advise you to forfeit," He Qiutong said.

He Qiutong was not aware of Zhu Xinjue's plan; her goal, like Chen Baiwen's, was just to eliminate Xiang Beifei from the competition.

Xiang Beifei looked indifferently at the four people before him.

Four people, easier to handle than five.

"That's right, we don't want to harm you. You just quietly drop out, to avoid any trouble," Chen Baiwen said gravely.

However, Hou Chengwu and Zhu Xinjue beside him were filled with limitless killing intent.

"What are we waiting for? We need to take him down before we talk about eliminating him!" Hou Chengwu exclaimed.

This time, facing Xiang Beifei, he already had enough confidence. Although he didn't know what happened last time in the arena and ended up losing, now it was four against one. No matter how powerful Xiang Beifei was, in Hou Chengwu's eyes, he was definitely a dead man!

Grinding his teeth, Hou Chengwu said, "Today, I want you to pay the price!"

That day, he, a proud SSR, was shoved into a trash bin, losing all face. Today, he had to kill Xiang Beifei!

"Three against two, not too bad, not too terrible," Xiang Beifei stated.

"Three against two?"

Zhu Xinjue scoffed, "Have we scared you silly? Can't you even count the numbers right? There are four of us here against you alone!"

"President Ren is so venerable and highly esteemed, he has said, 'Names don't matter, strength does.' A senior who can say such things must have an open mind; how could he fuss over such trifles as names with me? As President Ren's proud student, why are your principles in dealing with people inconsistent with his?" Xiang Beifei asked, appearing puzzled as he gazed at Hou Chengwu, and then added, "Haven't you even learned the slightest of his skills?"

His words were watertight, first mockingly insinuating something about Ren Jianghai, then immediately elevating Ren Jianghai to a high position, preventing Ren Jianghai from lashing out over Xiang Beifei's teasing about names, and subtly damaging Hou Chengwu's reputation in the process.

"You..."

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

In mid-air, Li Zimu stood there, looking down at the people below in astonishment, and said, "They actually can't tell."

The flood here was the transformation of Li Zimu's Poetry Realm. Li Zimu's Poetry Realm had now reached a state indistinguishable between reality and illusion, but Hou Chengwu and Chen Baiwen were SSRs, one system level above him, and more advanced in their cultivation. Logically, they should not have been in such a sorry state.

"Of course, they can't tell. Not one of them is a System Awakener of the spiritual type," Xiang Beifei said.

Xiang Beifei's spiritual power was attached to the flood created by Li Zimu's Poetry Realm, so even if Li Zimu had only late-stage Qi-Controlling powers, the flood he created carried the power of the Meridian Opening stage!

As for the suppression due to system levels, with Xiang Beifei present, the so-called SSR system superiority was just a façade.

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

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

Xiang Beifei's shadow reappeared at the edge of the fork, but then disappeared again on the path.

"Which way should we go?" an anxious Hou Chengwu asked Chen Baiwen.

"I don't know, there's no trace," Chen Baiwen shook his head.

"Let's split up into two groups, that way we'll be faster," Zhu Xinjue said.

"Splitting forces just means dispersing our strength. If we run into Xiang Beifei, do you really think we stand a chance against him?" Chen Baiwen asked.

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

After discussing for a moment, everyone finally decided to split up but agreed to send a signal to the others if they encountered Xiang Beifei and, if they could not find anyone after half an hour, to regroup here.

To ensure mutual trust, they mixed the members of both sides. Zhu Xinjue went with Yu Hongbo and He Qiutong on one route, while Chen Baiwen went with Hou Chengwu on another.

Hou Chengwu and Chen Baiwen, leading three SRs, took the left path. Chen Baiwen seemed preoccupied with heavy thoughts, but Hou Chengwu still warned, "Don't forget our agreement."

Xiang Beifei vaguely realized something and said, "Digesting memories?"

A desolate beast that eats the brains of other desolate beasts can sometimes absorb the memories of the consummed beast. This means that whatever the eaten beast saw and heard can be digested by another.

If this green-haired worm was stepped on by Long Guocheng, then it means the worm saw Xiang Beifei and his people!

Even if the green-haired worm couldn't understand human speech, the images and scenes would still be left in its mind!

What exactly did they say when they encountered the green-haired worm? Was it recorded by the worm?

Eating the brains of other desolate beasts to make up for their own deficiencies and expand their knowledge, the more they consume, the higher the intelligence these desolate beasts will inevitably possess!

A desolate beast that is strong but simple-minded isn't scary. The truly terrifying ones are those with high intelligence!

At present, they just don't know what impression about them has been left by the green-haired worm that was stepped on by Long Guocheng.

Li Zimu's stone house had many rooms piled up; everyone was separated by one room. There was no bed or blanket. Although it was crude, it wasn't such a concern in the wilderness beyond the realm.

When Xiang Beifei was returning from his shift, Long Guocheng was leaning against the door with his arms crossed over his chest and asked, "Can I ask you a question?"

"What is it?" Xiang Beifei said.

"You aren't 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 said reluctantly.

If he lost to an SR like Li Zimu, he wouldn't feel too disgraced because the other's talent was not inferior to his. They were both SRs; if he lost, he could just win back next time.

But losing to an N-level Awakener made him feel like there was always a lump in his throat.

"That's your own problem, nothing to do with me," Xiang Beifei didn't like to explain his system to others.

Because he simply had no system.

"We are a team! I've told you my abilities! But we know nothing about yours! As a team, we should understand each other," Long Guocheng emphasized.

"Now you admit you're part of a team? I thought you liked to show off," Xiang Beifei said.

Long Guocheng huffed but didn't refute this point.

He did like to show off. If he didn't, he wouldn't be able to collect system points.

"If you tell me you are SR or SSR, then I could accept my defeat with conviction," Long Guocheng said.

"Do you look down on those with lower system ranks that much? What's wrong with N-level? Or R-level? Or even S-level? Besides their cultivation level improving, in terms of character, morality, or behavior... in what way are they inferior to you that you need to despise them? Do you enjoy finding a sense of superiority over those with lower systems?" Xiang Beifei said sternly.

"I..." Long Guocheng was at a loss for words.

He looked down on those who had less talent than him, because in his eyes, these people were hopeless, especially the bottom-tier N-level Awakeners.

He only respected the strong.
