When system cheat becomes rampant!

The girl was rather pretty and looked nervous, with her particularly large eyes anxiously scanning the classroom because she was the only girl there, making her seem somewhat restrained.

"Oh? He's here too!"

Suddenly, the girl exclaimed cheerily, looking very excited.

Upon hearing the girl's words, Long Guocheng smugly raised his head.

As he walked around the campus, he had always been the center of attention. Being an SR Awakener and the young master of a conglomerate, he was the object of many girls' affections. Since the school year started, he had received countless love letters. It was no wonder this girl was excited to see him.

That was only normal.

"Yes, that's right, it's me."

Proud of himself, Long Guocheng looked at the girl, ready to greet her since she probably was an SR Awakener as well. He figured he should say hello.

When I greet her, she'll probably freak out, right?

Long Guocheng thought to himself, then turned his gaze towards the girl.

His face immediately turned sour.

That was because the girl was sneakily poking out her head, taking a stealthy peek at Xiang Beifei from behind Long Guocheng.

Damn! She was actually looking at Xiang Beifei!

What the heck! I'm this handsome, and you're looking at him instead of me?

Long Guocheng felt like he had just taken a critical hit of ten thousand points!

"I originally aimed my heart at the moon, but alas, the moon shines on the ditch!"

Li Zimu, while munching on a steamed bun, glanced sideways at Long Guocheng with a teasing smirk and asked, "I have a delusional bun here, want a bite?"

"Oh, shut up." Long Guocheng snapped, annoyed.

The new girl hadn't looked at Long Guocheng at all but was very happily watching Xiang Beifei.

"Is he also preparing to participate in the competition? That's great."

The girl was overjoyed and wanted to go over and talk to Xiang Beifei, but she hesitated and seemed too shy to approach him.

Just then, another boy appeared at the door of the classroom. This boy had dark skin, a sturdy physique, and a head of auburn hair, standing out distinctly in the crowd like a sore thumb.

That makes the five members of the team.

Although Awakeners of SR level develop quickly, that speed is only relative to other S and R levels; not every SR reaches the Late Qi Mastery stage at exactly the same time, so there's a gap between them.

This means these few are the strongest of the bunch.

Apart from Long Guocheng and Li Zimu, the other two people were only met by Xiang Beifei today since they didn't come up to bother him, so Xiang wasn't particularly interested in the other SR students at the school.

At the same time, another shadow flashed through the classroom, and Ye Changfeng had returned.

"Everyone's here? Good, introduce yourselves. You five have been chosen for the freshman competition of the nine elite universities. From now on, you'll be teammates." Ye Changfeng announced.

"I'm Ma Ziqian."

The dark-skinned auburn-haired boy seemed eager to introduce himself: "From class three! An SR level Awakener!"

[Host: Ma Ziqian]

[SR level, Godspeed Guardian System]

[Realm: Late Qi Mastery]

Xiang Beifei turned to size up this person's system. The Godspeed Guardian, a speed-type system focused on victory through speed. At the moment, his cultivation wasn't high, with a running speed of about 40 meters per second. High speed made any attack deadly, even a small stone could penetrate a thick wall.

He possessed an ability called [Relative Speed], which could accelerate himself and even slow down his opponents. This meant he could control not just his own speed but also that of an opponent.

He could absorb others' speed, making an opponent's movements infinitely slower, like a snail. This ability was particularly useful in some team battles, where he would handle slowing down opponents, allowing his teammates to go for the kill.

If he was fast enough to surpass time, he could even reverse it. Of course, achieving such a speed was extremely difficult, almost impossible for an SR, and it was uncertain if he would ever reach that level.

He earned task points by surpassing others. Within a hundred meters, as long as he did something faster than anyone else, he would gain system points:

[You eat faster than ten people, Godspeed value +10]

[You breathe faster than twenty people, Godspeed value +20]

[You use the restroom faster than the two next door, Godspeed value +2]

[You introduce yourself faster than four people, Godspeed value +4]

In short, this system allows you to grow stronger as long as you do things faster than others within a hundred-meter radius!
Your journey continues on empire

——

After Ma Ziqian had finished introducing himself, the girl next to him also timidly started to speak, "My name is Xi Keyao, from class six, and I am a girl."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Beifei couldn't help but give a mute laugh.

The girl seemed very nervous while speaking, probably because she was the only girl in the group, so in her urgency, she even introduced her gender.

When Xi Keyao saw Xiang Beifei's smile, she realized her redundancy and her face quickly turned red, looking very shy.

"He smiled at me, I wonder if he still remembers me."

Xi Keyao lowered her head and sneakily glanced at Xiang Beifei again, only to find that Xiang Beifei was also looking at her, making her nervously fidget with the corner of her clothes.

But Xiang Beifei was only looking at her system.

"There's no need to be so nervous," Ye Changfeng said.

[Host: Xi Keyao]

[SR tier, Support with All Might System]

[Realm: Late Qi Mastery]

This is a system that helps others, a support-type ability.

Xi Keyao's system can unlock nine cauldrons, each harboring a powerful ability. So far, she had unlocked two cauldrons.

The first cauldron's ability is named [Cauldron Support], and with the cauldron's help, it can provide enhancements including strength, Agility, speed, and attack, among others. The extent of the enhancement depends on her power.

She can also pull others into this cauldron, forcibly dragging people stronger than herself down to her level, as long as it does not exceed one major realm, and the duration depends on the strength difference between them.

The second cauldron is named [Cauldron Form]; this ability is quite special. If an opponent is enveloped by this cauldron, she can etch the person in the cauldron and then connect herself to the cauldron, transferring any damage she suffers to the Cauldron Form.

Xiang Beifei was browsing through Xi Keyao's system mission log and found that this girl was very willing to help others. Typically, she gained system missions by helping others or by being helped.

[You helped an old woman find her way home, Cauldron Power +20]

[You helped Liu Xiaomeng pick up a pen, Cauldron Power +5]

[Liu Xiaomeng helped you with a takeout, Cauldron Power +10]

...

Her tasks are all about helping others, and of course, being helped by others also increases her Cauldron Power value. In short, this system allows her to grow stronger by helping others or being helped!

"But on another note, Xi Keyao's name sounds a bit familiar; have I heard it somewhere?" Xiang Beifei pondered, but he couldn't seem to recall at the moment.

Perhaps he had seen it in the SR tier Freshman Roster?

After all, SR tier freshmen are the spotlight of everyone's attention, and there are many posts analyzing SR tier freshmen on the school forum, which Xiang Beifei occasionally browses.

"However, the systems of SR tier are quite impressive," Xiang Beifei couldn't help but think.

Currently, the four people present all have very straightforward systems.

One grows stronger by being observed, one by reading, one by being faster than others, and one by helping or being helped.

Long Guocheng and Li Zimu also took turns introducing themselves.

"My name is Xiang Beifei."

Xiang Beifei also stated his name, but it was hardly necessary, as everyone present knew him; his reputation was quite notable.

"I know, we all know your name," Xi Keyao excitedly said.

All eyes fell on Xi Keyao.

Xi Keyao appeared quite embarrassed and hastily lowered her head, grabbing the corner of her clothes again.
