Chapter 557: Chapter 417: Competitor (4000 words)_2
Ye Changfeng’s spiritual power was extremely strong; after all, he was also a Direct Disciple of Elder Luo. Compared to Xiang Beifei, his talent might not seem like much, but in reality, he far surpassed other SRs.
Many in the Alliance coveted Elder Luo’s position and, naturally, they would try to target Ye Changfeng from his side. Those system abilities that forced the truth, mixed up facts, and other psychic manipulations, all fall under the category of spiritual control. That’s why he practiced extremely hard on his spiritual defense, to prevent such incidents from happening.
It was only after Xiang Beifei had confirmed this point that he said, “This matter is actually related to me.”
In the end, he still revealed the ins and outs of the entire matter, only omitting the details about Xiao Sheng, his grandfather, and that mountain.
After listening, Ye Changfeng was tremendously shocked!
“Such a big issue, why are you only mentioning it now? Why didn’t you tell us earlier? If you didn’t tell me, you should have at least informed Elder Luo,” said Ye Changfeng, who looked very angry and even a bit frightened.
Xiang Beifei may have made light of it, but Ye Changfeng could easily imagine how dire the situation was at that time.
“What does Mr. Ye think Elder Luo would do if I told him?” asked Xiang Beifei.
Ye Changfeng was slightly startled before he finally came to a realization.
“I was too hasty,” he admitted.
He understood Elder Luo’s temperament well; the old man, protective of his own, would rush off to settle accounts with He Caiwei without a second word. However, the problem was that He Caiwei wouldn’t have made his move without a fallback plan, and he would have cleaned his hands of the entire matter.
Then it would be Elder Luo who would be at a disadvantage.
Elder Luo was already excluded from the Alliance, and it wouldn’t be wise for him to confront someone without evidence.
Ye Changfeng furrowed his brows as he weighed the pros and cons of the situation before he sternly said, “No matter what, you must not admit that you killed anyone, understand?”
“I understand.”
An Awakener at SR level would need at least three to five years, sometimes even longer, from the beginning of the Meridian Opening phase until the entry into the God Refining phase.
Awakeners at SSR level would also need around two to four years to reach the God Refining phase.
The URs are the quickest, generally needing around one to two years to step into the God Refining phase without any problem.
The videos that couldn’t be deleted were stirred up by it, and although the Alliance had various formidable network tech Awakeners, when facing the videos set by Xiaohei, they turned out to be duds!
No matter how they used system items, they couldn’t get rid of the relevant footage.
Then, from a corner came Elder Luo’s languid voice, “Otherwise, how should the conversation go? In the Martial Arts College, it’s all about who has the stronger fist. Why don’t you two have a fight?”
Wei Tong turned his head to look and, only then did he realize that at some point, Elder Luo had been sitting there. His face quickly changed.
Fight? What a joke! Even though he was an SSR, he would not be able to withstand even one punch from Ye Changfeng.
An Xiyu on the side realized something and asked, “You’ve reached the late stage of Meridian Opening?”
Professor Guo also caught on and looked at Xiang Beifei with astonishment.
He knew that Xiang Beifei was very talented, but under normal circumstances, he would at most be at the mid-stage of Meridian Opening; how could he have suddenly reached this level?
After pondering for a moment, Xiang Beifei shook his head, “Not yet.”
“So, what is your level of cultivation?” asked Professor Guo cautiously.
“Mid-stage Meridian Opening,” replied Xiang Beifei.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Professor Guo; honestly, he was worried about An Xiyu.
Last semester, An Xiyu followed his advice, opting to develop within the Alliance, and now she was interning within the Alliance.
The Alliance had been keeping a watchful eye on him, searching for his information, so they would definitely use every means possible to find a breakthrough from the people around him; An Xiyu was clearly one of them.
Of course, with An Xiyu’s character, Xiang Beifei believed she wouldn’t actively betray him, but after all, she was only an SR in the late stage of Meridian Opening.
The moment someone like Mu Yiqing, an SSR in the late stage of God Refining, came along, it would be easy to extract information from An Xiyu without leaving a trace, despite Liangzhou University’s many security measures for its students.
Liangzhou University was now not purely Liangzhou University anymore, like the person managing the Martial Arts College, a practitioner of the literary Dao, who was sent by the Alliance and was keeping an eye on Xiang Beifei.
His own strength had improved frightfully fast; with the Awakening System, half a year was enough to reach the early stage of Meridian Opening, and in less than a year, he had reached the late stage of Meridian Opening, far surpassing ordinary SSRs!
Such a terrifying cultivation speed was even beyond what UR Awakeners could achieve!
If those people knew how fast his cultivation was progressing, they would probably stop at nothing to cause him trouble.
Therefore, Xiang Beifei had to keep it a secret until he broke through to the God Refining stage. Only then would he truly have the ability to protect himself and not fear people like He Caiwei—
And he could even take the members of the alliance, those lofty SSR and UR, by surprise and teach them a lesson!
He had already spread this news, and had even made a point of demonstrating his mid-Meridian Opening strength in front of many students recently. This way, He Caiwei could feel at ease.
Now He Caiwei would definitely think that it was Elder Luo who had killed those three people. He wouldn’t dare act rashly. With He Caiwei and the others focusing on Elder Luo, they wouldn’t pay attention to Xiang Beifei, whose cultivation was only at mid-Meridian Opening.
In this way, Xiang Beifei could quietly develop his strength.
Once he had sufficient cultivation, then he could burst out and join the fight.
“So that’s how it is.”
Professor Guo could accept this level of strength, but clearly lost some interest. He actually wished that Xiang Beifei’s cultivation was at the late phase of Meridian Opening.
“Then why did you ask about the soul?” Professor Guo asked again.
A powerful aura on him concentrated into a sharp fierceness, silently falling upon Ma Kainian.
When Ma Kainian saw Xiang Beifei, his heart trembled, frightened by Xiang Beifei’s terrifying aura.
Xiang Beifei was the one rumored to be able to kill a late Meridian Opening One-Armed Crab with a single punch. His presence here was no joking matter.
Ma Kainian steadied himself and cursed under his breath, reminding himself that, after all, he was an official of the alliance. No matter how famous this kid was, he was just a civilian, without power or influence. If anyone should be afraid, it should be him!
“Xiang Beifei, such a big shot,” Ma Kainian said with a snide tone.
Xiang Beifei didn’t speak. He glanced indifferently and then walked towards Kong Daming, asking, “I saw the phone message just now. What happened to my grandfather?”
“I don’t know. He seemed to be feeling unwell, so I helped him upstairs to rest. He’s upstairs now,” Kong Daming said.
“Understood, I’ll go up and see him.”

Without another word, Xiang Beifei headed for the stairs.
However, Ma Kainian felt quite annoyed at being ignored!
“Hmph! To think you don’t even have basic manners…”
“Get lost!”
Xiang Beifei said bluntly.
“Yes.”
Ma Kainian’s mind went blank, and he unexpectedly found himself lying down and actually rolling away on the ground.
“Huh?”
Kong Daming and Zhang Xiang were shocked to see Ma Kainian rolling away on the floor, and they were completely stunned for a moment.
Ma Kainian actually… really rolled away just like that?
This turn of events was completely unexpected by them.
“Why do we need to patrol the archives room? Who would have nothing better to do than to come here to steal? If you ask me, it probably wouldn’t matter even if we didn’t come for a year,” Zhou Guan said lazily, cradling the back of his head and following behind Sun Zhong. He was not very interested in this job and kept nagging the entire way.
Once Sun Zhong reached the third floor, he patrolled past rows of rooms.
[You have patrolled the N-level Personnel Review Department, patrol points +2]
[You have patrolled the N-level Personnel Dispatch Department, patrol points +2]
…
Sun Zhong made a point of walking around the empty room twice, then pressed a button on the wall to confirm the alarm was set before leaving the room.
[You have patrolled the main archive room entrance, patrol points +5]
But at that moment, Zheng Xing thought of something and quickly pulled out his phone to video call his son. Then he asked, “Son, you said you’ve seen Xiang Beifei before. Take a look, is this the man Xiang Beifei?”
