When system cheat becomes rampant!

"Understood," Ma Ziqian was the first to respond.

Everyone left quickly, and Xiang Beifei also prepared to go find Elder Luo, but after taking a few steps, he noticed that someone seemed to be following him. Turning around in confusion, he saw Xi Keyao standing behind him with an awkward expression.

"Hello?"

Knowing about Xi Keyao's system, Xiang Beifei understood that the girl probably meant him no harm. At most, she might just want to help him with some system task, which was fine by him.

"Xiang Beifei, you—you hello," Xi Keyao said timidly.

"You seem very shy," Xiang Beifei remarked.

"I... I..." Xi Keyao fiddled with the hem of her clothes and murmured softly, "I'm not very good at talking to others."

"It shows," Xiang Beifei nodded slightly and then asked, "Do you need my help with something?"

Xi Keyao timidly asked, "Don't you remember me, Xiang Beifei?"

Xiang Beifei was stunned for a moment. Was he supposed to know her?

It seemed that they had never met before.

"Seven years ago! Seven years ago! We met once; my father is also a pioneer. Uncle Xiang brought you to our house to stay. We live in Jingzhou! You stayed at our place for a month! We played together for a whole month!" Xi Keyao exclaimed excitedly.

Seven years ago? Jingzhou?

That's quite far!

Xiang Beifei recalled carefully. Seven years ago... Well... Seven years ago didn't seem to concern him much, as he had only been in this world for about seven months?

But he soon vaguely found the shadow of Xi Keyao in his memories.

Oh, it was that little girl.

However, the girl in his memory was very young seven years ago, and now she had grown into a graceful young woman. A girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood; she was completely unrecognizable.

"Do you remember now, Xiang Beifei?" Xi Keyao asked. Continue your adventure at empire

"I remember now; your father is... Xi Wenxuan?"

"Right! That's great, Xiang Beifei remembers me."

Joy lit up Xi Keyao's face.

"Sorry I didn't recognize you right away. I didn't know you were also at Liangzhou University. I thought you would go to Jingzhou University," Xiang Beifei said.

"My dad had me apply to Liangzhou University. There's a teacher there who's a good friend of my dad's. After I awakened my SR system, that teacher came to our house to discuss this matter, and my dad agreed," she explained.

Xi Keyao curiously looked at Xiang Beifei again and then said hesitantly, "At first, I wasn't sure if you were the Xiang Beifei I knew. I've hesitated for months, not daring to greet you. I was worried about mistaking someone else for you. I even went to ask my dad about it!"

"Oh! I see. How is Uncle Xi doing?" Xiang Beifei inquired.

"He's doing well, but he's no longer a pioneer," Xi Keyao shared.

"That's good," Xiang Beifei nodded lightly.

"I'm sorry; I heard about Uncle Xiang, and it made me very sad," Xi Keyao said cautiously, watching Xiang Beifei's expression.

Xiang Beifei shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It's okay, it's been a long time."

"It's good you can see it that way. Then we're teammates from now on! Please take care of me," Xi Keyao beamed.

"Sure, let's work hard together."

Xiang Beifei thought about it and didn't know what to say. This was his first encounter with the girl, and unlike with Lu Zhiwei, where they attended school and fooled around daily, he had only met Xi Keyao seven years ago.

"Well, I should get going. The lands beyond the domain are very dangerous, so go back and prepare well. We'll still have time later to chat," Xiang Beifei said.

Xi Keyao hesitated, then nodded after a long pause, "Okay, I won't bother you any longer."

Xiang Beifei left quickly, and Xi Keyao watched his retreating figure, muttering, "He doesn't seem to remember that incident."

Xi Keyao, as if recalling something with regret, then shuffled away with rapid small steps.

----

The training in the lands beyond the domain wasn't interesting, in fact, it was a bit boring.

Because Ye Changfeng directly took them to confront the Triangular Thunder Krait!

He said that if they wanted to train in the Marquis Domain, they first had to kill a Triangular Thunder Krait.

Xiang Beifei felt this was simple and was about to make a move when Ye Changfeng firmly restrained him.

"What are you doing?" Ye Changfeng asked.

"Killing the Triangular Thunder Krait, of course! So we can hurry to the Marquis Domain without wasting time," Xiang Beifei said, rubbing his fists.

"Kill your foot! Do you think I found these two Triangular Thunder Kraits just for you to kill?" Ye Changfeng said irritably.

"Oh," Xiang Beifei spread his hands at Long Guocheng and the others, "Sorry, it's up to you guys now."

"No problem!"

Long Guocheng and Li Zimu, along with the other two, appeared brimming with confidence.

All the people present, aside from Xiang Beifei, were SR geniuses. By now, they all had advanced into the latter stages of Qi-Controlling, especially Long Guocheng, who had honed his eyes to be exceptionally bright.

"If you could kill it in the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling, why can't I?"

A sharp light flashed in Long Guocheng's eyes!

The Triangular Thunder Krait was impervious to blades and spears; its weakness lay in its eyes, but its strongest asset was also its eyes—its lightning was incredibly powerful!

And Long Guocheng's most formidable trait happened to be his own eyes!

You shoot lightning, I have the domineering CEO's Vision Pressure.

Heavenly thunder versus earthly fire, I'll stare you to death, won't I?

"I'll go first!"

Without a second word, Long Guocheng tossed his head and glared at the Triangular Thunder Krait!

His Vision Pressure was instantaneously effective, nearly as soon as he saw something, the pressure would have already reached the target!

However, the Triangular Thunder Krait merely looked back at Long Guocheng coldly and then shot lightning at him!

He quickly leapt aside.

"No good, too far. I must get closer."

Although Long Guocheng's Vision Pressure was impressive, it had its limitations. This kind of gaze attack worked best at close range; too far apart, and its power would diminish. It also depended on the target's defenses.

He charged straight out, but the Triangular Thunder Krait also leaped forward—

Smack!

The Triangular Thunder Krait lazily flicked its tail and sent him flying!

That sweeping tail was executed so cleanly and crisply that it startled Li Zimu and the others.

"Dammit!"

Long Guocheng climbed up from the ground, his face dirty, suddenly furious, and spat out the grass in his mouth.

"I'm up."

Ma Ziqian found it uncomfortable not to have rushed before Long Guocheng this time because the only way to increase his Godspeed value was to be the first to act in anything.

However, seeing Long Guocheng swept away, he was invigorated. As long as he was the first to kill the Triangular Thunder Krait, he could still earn system points.

Probably because of Xiang Beifei's entrance exam, all of them had studied the related information about the Triangular Thunder Krait and understood its weaknesses and strengths.

With Ma Ziqian's strength, it was absolutely impossible to break through the Triangular Thunder Krait's defenses. The defenses of the Triangular Thunder Krait posed too strong a challenge for martial artists in the latter stages of Qi-Controlling.

"Then blind its eyes!"

Ma Ziqian's figure flashed, and he shot out rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he was above the Triangular Thunder Krait's head, and a dagger appeared in his hand, which he thrust rapidly towards its eyes.

His speed was swift; the Triangular Thunder Krait seemed sluggish in his vision, so with this thrust, he was confident he could directly blind the creature!

But the Triangular Thunder Krait made a simple move.

It closed its eyes!

Clang!

Ma Ziqian's dagger struck the Triangular Thunder Krait's eyelids with a crisp sound of metal against metal, feeling as if his blade had hit an iron wall, numbing his hands from the impact.

At that moment, the Triangular Thunder Krait's reaction was anything but weak. Its tail whirled towards him, and he narrowly dodged, but exploding lightning bolts shot wildly, striking him and leaving him in a very sorry state.

He approached the Triangular Thunder Krait several times but was repeatedly avoided by it. Soon the Triangular Thunder Krait again flicked its tail, striking Ma Ziqian and sending him flying!

The beast's blink was much faster than his actions!

"Damn it, how can this animal blink so swiftly? How did Xiang Beifei manage it?"

After several rounds, Ma Ziqian felt his head had grown bigger.

Initially, hearing about Xiang Beifei managing to kill the Triangular Thunder Krait, praised by all the teachers to high heavens, made him feel indignant because he had a powerful speed system and it seemed easy to kill such desolate beasts.

But he had underestimated the Triangular Thunder Krait.

The Triangular Thunder Krait, known as one of the overseers of the Qi-Controlling phase, was far more troublesome than he had imagined. He stood no chance of killing it.

Ma Ziqian fought more and more apprehensively; despite his speed, he could not land a blow. How then did Xiang Beifei grasp the opportunity?
