Liangzhou University is no longer purely its own; for instance, the person managing the Martial Arts College from the literary Dao is someone sent by the alliance, all keeping an eye on Xiang Beifei.
His own strength had increased fast enough, using the Awakening System for half a year, he had reached the early stages of Meridian Opening, and in less than a year, he had reached the late stages of Meridian Opening, far exceeding the ordinary SSR!
This terrifying speed of cultivation couldn't even be achieved by UR Awakeners!
If those people knew how fast his cultivation speed was, they would probably stop at nothing to cause him trouble.
Therefore, Xiang Beifei must keep it a secret until he breaks through to the God Refining stage, only then will he truly have the ability to protect himself, not fearing people like He Caiwei—
And he could also unexpectedly teach those lofty SSRs and URs from the alliance a lesson!
He had already spread this news. A while ago, he even purposefully displayed his mid-Meridian Opening strength in front of many students, this way, he could reassure He Caiwei.
Now, He Caiwei would definitely think it was Elder Luo who had killed those three people, and he wouldn't dare to act rashly. He Caiwei and others focusing their attention on Elder Luo, would instead not pay attention to Xiang Beifei, who only possessed mid-Meridian Opening powers.
This way, Xiang Beifei could secretly continue to grow stronger.
When he had sufficient cultivation, he would then be able to burst out and join the group fights.
"So that's how it is."
Professor Guo could still accept this level of strength, but was obviously somewhat disinterested; he really wished that Xiang Beifei's cultivation had reached the late Meridian Opening stage.
"Then why did you ask about the soul matters?" Professor Guo asked further.
A powerful aura condensed, forming an intense sharpness that silently fell on Ma Kainian.
Ma Kainian shivered inside when he saw Xiang Beifei; he was intimidated by Xiang Beifei's fearsome aura.
Xiang Beifei was rumored to be able to kill late Meridian Opening stage One-Armed Crabs with one punch; his presence here was no joke.
Ma Kainian steadied his mind, cursing inwardly. He was an official from the alliance after all, this kid, no matter how famous, was just a commoner with no power or influence. If anyone should be afraid, it should be him!
"Xiang Beifei, a big shot indeed." Ma Kainian said sarcastically.
Xiang Beifei remained silent, giving a cold glance before walking towards Kong Daming and asking, "I just saw a message on my phone. What happened to my grandfather?"
"I don't know, he seemed unwell just now, so I helped him upstairs to rest; he's upstairs now." Kong Daming said.
"Got it, I'm going up to see him."
Without another word, Xiang Beifei headed for the stairs.
Ma Kainian, seeing himself being ignored, was quite irritated!
"Humph! Up to this moment not even a simple courtesy..."
"Get lost!"
Xiang Beifei simply said.
"Yes."
Ma Kainian's mind went blank, then without realizing it, he actually started rolling on the ground.
"Huh?"
Kong Daming and Zhang Xiang watched in shock as Ma Kainian rolled away on the ground; they were completely stunned for a moment.
Ma Kainian actually... just rolled away like that?
This turn of events was completely unexpected for them.
"Why do we have to patrol the archives!? Who would bother coming here to steal stuff from the Record Bureau when idle? I'd say, even if we don't come for a year, it probably wouldn't matter." Zhou Guan said lazily, hands clasped behind his head, following Sun Zhong.
Sun Zhong went up to the third floor and patrolled along a row of rooms.
[You patrolled the N-level Talent Review Department, patrol value +2]
[You patrolled the N-level Talent Dispatch Department, patrol value +2]
...
Sun Zhong made a thorough round in the empty room, pressed a button on the wall to ensure the alarm was working, then left the room.
[You patrolled the Main Archive entrance, patrol value +5]
At this point, Zheng Xing thought of something urgently, took out his phone to video call his son, then asked, "Son, you said you've seen Xiang Beifei before; take a look, is this person Xiang Beifei?"
During the freshman competition, even though students from the elite schools hadn't been present, it had been live broadcast, and anyone who wasn't blind could recognize him.
Zheng Xing's son, although a student at Jizhou University, had also seen Xiang Beifei. The moment he saw Xiang Beifei, he immediately excitedly said, "It's him! That's him! The genius who stepped on the Qingzhou University SSR! Dad, you actually met him? My god!"
That was a legendary genius indeed!
"You really are that Xiang Beifei!" Zheng Xing was also startled.
His son had mentioned the freshman competition before the holidays, and even then he had been amazed by Xiang Beifei; he never expected to encounter such a genius today!
Shortly after, he quickly regained his composure and excitedly said, "It is Xiang Beifei, you're right. My son is from Jizhou University and saw him last time!"
Xiang Beifei momentarily set aside this matter and asked, "By the way, Uncle Kong, do you have any houses for rent nearby? We're thinking of moving over."
"A house? Yes, there's one. You should have moved here earlier. The old man always talks about saving money for you to take on missions and such. How come you suddenly changed your mind?" Kong Daming asked.
"Xiaofei has grown up, and the house is too shabby; he won't find a wife." Xiang Qingde said seriously.
"Hahaha, that's true." Kong Daming nodded.
But Lu Hong disagreed, "How so! If you really like someone, who cares about the house?"
