When system cheat becomes rampant!

Elder Luo saw Ren Jianghai, the host of the event, in the crowd and walked over with a smile on his face.

"The performance of the younger generation today has been quite impressive, each of them showcasing their abilities on the field, truly thrilling! As the host, you must have enjoyed seeing the new students' prowess, right, Ren Jianghai?" Elder Luo looked at Ren Jianghai with a chuckle.

Ren Jianghai's gaze was dark as he looked at Elder Luo.

The other teachers from Qingzhou University also didn't look pleased.

The prowess of the new students?

Their school's genius SSR had been thrown directly into the trash by Xiang Beifei. Was this supposed to be prowess?

Ren Jianghai's face twitched.

In past years after the competition for new students, it was he who would mock Liangzhou University, but he hadn't expected the tables to turn this year!

"Yes, the younger generation is indeed to be feared," Ren Jianghai said with a forced smile.

As the host, he couldn't afford to lose his composure in front of so many people over such a trivial matter.

"Your Qingzhou University students also did very well. I saw a few SRs who were quite formidable, and as for SSRs... hmm, they need to push harder! My disciple, in fact, didn't even exert himself much today, yet your SSRs fell so easily?"

Elder Luo had recently learned the art of a verbal jab; his speaking skills were impeccable.

This statement truly insulted Qingzhou University inside and out. Today, each university had arranged for four contests, Qingzhou University won three and lost one, but the issue was that the three victories were all due to SR-level students!

The only SSR who appeared had been trampled underfoot by an N-level student and was then kicked into the trash.

Elder Luo made it clear to Ren Jianghai that your Qingzhou University's SSRs couldn't even surpass our N-level students, who effortlessly dealt with them!

Ren Jianghai was smart enough to detect the underlying meaning in Elder Luo's words.

Elder Luo thought for a moment, then turned his head, patted Xiang Beifei on the shoulder, and said, "You should go easy on them next time. Isn't there a saying these days... 'Young people should uphold martial virtue'."

Just as Xiang Beifei was about to nod and respond with a couple of agreeable remarks, Elder Luo changed his tone and earnestly said to Xiang Beifei, "Don't step on them, it hurts their self-esteem—next time just skip directly to the last step."

Xiang Beifei: "..."

Ren Jianghai: "..."

Everyone: "..."

The last step, wasn't that throwing them in the trash?

So much for martial virtue!

Many students and teachers present actually knew what Elder Luo was implying. Everyone understood why Liangzhou University had no SSRs this year. Hou Chengwu, who was SSR-level and who looked down on recruiting N-level students at Liangzhou University, had defected to Qingzhou University on the spur of the moment.

Resultingly, the N-level students, who were disdained by SSR Hou Chengwu, threw the SSR straight into the trash. Xiang Beifei's slap hit not just the face of Hou Chengwu but also the face of Qingzhou University.

From a current standpoint, those Qingzhou University recruited seemed more like the SSRs Liangzhou University didn't want, dragging down the SSR's level.

Elder Luo glanced at Hou Chengwu in the crowd, such a student was always the least appealing to him, regardless of being an SSR or not, with no basic principles of conduct, they were all the same in his eyes.

Ren Jianghai's face was almost twisted from exasperation, but he had no way to retort—his students couldn't compare to others, what more could he do?

Just like in previous years when Liangzhou University's students were defeated by Qingzhou University, Ren Jianghai would mock Elder Luo in a gloating manner. Now, as fortune took a turn, who could have anticipated he would feel so stifled?

Elder Luo said leisurely, then led his team away.

—

Hou Chengwu clenched his fists in anger; he had lost today in a rather inexplicable way, and even now wasn't clear about what had happened, and he had been ridiculed by Elder Luo again, leaving him with no way to salvage his dignity.

The blows Xiang Beifei dealt him were actually not that harsh; he didn't even have a scratch.

But... that kind of damage was a mental blow.

Enraged, Hou Chengwu left the team and headed back to his dormitory on his own. But at that moment, a barely perceptible wave of energy came from nearby, enveloping Hou Chengwu.

"Who?"

Hou Chengwu looked up coldly, his surroundings no longer the Qingzhou University campus, but a cliffside.

He didn't panic, knowing his eyesight could tell that someone had used system abilities on him, bringing him into a space. As an SSR, although he had lost to Xiang Beifei, it didn't mean he was a pushover.

Zhu Xinjue and Chen Baiwen stepped forward.

"It's you!"

Hou Chengwu narrowed his eyes; he naturally recognized Chen Baiwen and Zhu Xinjue. After all, like him, Chen Baiwen had also forsaken Liangzhou University. They had never interacted before, but at least he had gotten some background information.

"SSR-level genius, Hou Chengwu, I've long admired your reputation," Zhu Xinjue said with a smile.

"Are you mocking me?"

Hou Chengwu's aura surged powerfully, suppressing Zhu Xinjue.

But Zhu Xinjue looked at Hou Chengwu unflinchingly. Despite the formidable pressure of an SSR, Zhu Xinjue's true cultivation was not weaker than Hou Chengwu's.

It was even somewhat more formidable!

After all, Zhu Xinjue had been in the Meridian Opening stage much longer than Hou Chengwu, who had only been there about a month.

"Far from it, we have come to you today because we naturally have matters to discuss," Zhu Xinjue said slowly.

Hou Chengwu coldly watched Zhu Xinjue.

"Let's be honest, we from Yanzhou University, plan to form an alliance with your Qingzhou University," Zhu Xinjue stated.

"An alliance?" Hou Chengwu furrowed his brows, his gaze resting thoughtfully on Chen Baiwen, "You want to form an alliance?"
