When system cheat becomes rampant!

His eyes were wide open in anger, resentment, and grievance...a series of emotions flashed ceaselessly in his eyes.

He thought he had joined forces with people from Yanzhou University today to kill Xiang Beifei, but he never expected that his ally, Zhu Xinjue, would stab him unexpectedly!

The stab was fatal. Zhu Xinjue showed no mercy whatsoever, the chill invading his meridians, severing the meridians he had opened, and brutally eradicating any possibility of his survival.

He wanted to roar at Zhu Xinjue in rage, "I am not a traitor!" He didn't truly intend to act! He wanted to kill Xiang Beifei, not you!

However, he couldn't voice such a huge injustice!

He knew this matter was very likely related to Xiang Beifei, but he didn't know when he had been controlled by Xiang Beifei, nor did he know how, being an SSR, he could be controlled.

He wanted to kill Xiang Beifei, yet he didn't even know where Xiang Beifei was!

—

"Hou Chengwu!"

On the other side, He Qiutong was stunned to see Hou Chengwu killed by Zhu Xinjue!

An SSR, dead!

He Qiutong stared unbelievably at Hou Chengwu.

For them, this was just an ordinary freshman contest. Previous freshman contests rarely had casualties because everyone could use the SOS Talisman to seek help from teachers when they encountered danger.

Even in the face of mortal danger, they could use the "Forfeit Talisman" to instantly leave the outer wild areas and return to the base at the cliff's base!

However, no one expected that at such a critical moment, Hou Chengwu would fail to react. He didn't use the Forfeit Talisman and became the first student to be killed!

Moreover, he was not killed by a desolate beast but by someone from Yanzhou University!

Hou Chengwu didn't even have the chance to use the "SOS Talisman" and "Forfeit Talisman"!

Whiz!

He Qiutong had already reacted. She disappeared from her spot and instantly appeared next to Hou Chengwu, forcing Zhu Xinjue and Chen Baiwen back at once.

"Hou Chengwu, how could you be so foolish! Why didn't you use the Forfeit Talisman? Is the competition's outcome that important to you?" He Qiutong urgently shouted.

—Not using the Forfeit Talisman?

In his dying moments, Hou Chengwu heard such words, and his anger made all his blood boil, worsening his injuries, and suddenly snuffing out his last breath.

An SSR student, dead from asphyxiation!

"He's dead?"

Chen Baiwen and Yu Hongbo rushed over and were also stunned.

An SSR, dead!

The two of them had never thought about killing anyone, whether planning to confront Xiang Beifei or Hou Chengwu. They only wanted to force them into using the "Forfeit Talisman," willingly leaving the contest, so they were merciless because they knew everyone was an SSR and would surely react when in danger.

But who could have expected that Hou Chengwu would rather die than use the Forfeit Talisman!

Could he be so principled?

"Zhu Pengfei, how dare you kill someone from Qingzhou University?"

He Qiutong turned her head, staring at Zhu Xinjue in fury.

At this moment, Zhu Xinjue also realized his mistake. He cursed under his breath, realizing the gravity of killing Hou Chengwu and the impending consequences. Nevertheless, he snorted coldly and forced himself to appear calm as he retorted, "You know best who started this. Your Qingzhou University played dirty on us, and we were merely defending ourselves! He wanted to kill me; was I supposed to just stand there and let him do it?"

As far as he was concerned, with a UR-grade grandfather to support him, he didn't care whom he had killed!

Chen Baiwen too, clutching his stiff right arm, said, "Exactly! All of us saw it, Hou Chengwu attacked us first. He intended to kill us! We were simply defending ourselves!"

He Qiutong was seething with anger.

But she also knew clearly that this matter was indeed caused by Hou Chengwu, and she did not understand his abnormal behavior at all. However, once a person was dead, anything said was useless.

Especially now that Hou Chengwu had died, leaving her as the only one at Meridian Opening phase from Qingzhou University, while Yanzhou University still had three!

She immediately grabbed Hou Chengwu, then rushed towards that group engaged in battle, gathering her team together and coldly said, "We will definitely seek justice from Yanzhou University!"

Whoosh!

He Qiutong did not linger; she immediately turned her own team invisible, as she was worried that the three from Yanzhou University would gang up on her, and she could not withstand that, so she retreated right away.

After all, He Qiutong was an SSR, possessing great ability to escape, and it was not easy for others to catch up with her.

The figures of Qingzhou University's group instantly disappeared in the flood, leaping toward the abyss above.

Yu Hongbo and his group did not give chase.

"Zhu Pengfei, you shouldn't have killed him; the death of an SSR is not a trivial matter!" Yu Hongbo said somberly.

Zhu Xinjue replied with great displeasure, "I did not intend to kill him! He chose not to use the Forfeit Talisman!"

He continued searching the surroundings, wanting to find Xiang Beifei's whereabouts, as he was still not content because the one he truly wanted to kill was not Hou Chengwu, but Xiang Beifei.

Originally, he wanted to blockade the space, annihilate He Qiutong and her group completely, and then frame Liangzhou University.

However, considering that Yu Hongbo and Chen Baiwen might not cooperate with him, and since Hou Chengwu initiated the attack and Yanzhou University held the "right" justification, even if Qingzhou University came to seek revenge after returning, they would not be scared.

At worst, Zhu Xinjue would go find his UR-grade grandfather to settle things.

——

Xiang Beifei stood on a distant rock, watching all of this.

He did not intervene nor stop He Qiutong from leaving. The teams from Qingzhou University and Yanzhou University had become sworn enemies, which was already a very good outcome.

Glancing at Xiaohei who was rolling around on his shoulder, Xiaohei was happily embracing a white orb of light, refining it into a spiritual power crystal.

That was all of Hou Chengwu's cultivation!

Xiaohei had coveted it for a long time, and today he finally received the delivery.

Xiang Beifei thoughtfully looked at the white orb.

The biggest mistake Hou Chengwu made was binding Xiang Beifei as his "shadow servant." His attempt to collaborate with Zhu Xinjue to kill him was even more a folly.

Initially, Xiang Beifei only planned to let them injure each other severely first, before stepping in to clean up. But unexpectedly, Zhu Xinjue was ruthless and made a deadly move on Hou Chengwu directly.

That was also fine; it saved him the trouble of taking action himself.

With Hou Chengwu controlled, he could not use the Forfeit Talisman. Xiang Beifei had thought that Zhu Xinjue would stop at the last moment, but he had clearly underestimated Zhu Xinjue's ruthlessness.

Regarding Hou Chengwu's death, Xiang Beifei did not think too much of it; Hou Chengwu clearly came with intent to kill, aiming to put him to death, so Xiang Beifei was not overly courteous either.

An eye for an eye was quite appropriate.

"Next up is Zhu Xinjue."

Xiang Beifei watched Zhu Xinjue from a distance, pondering deeply.

Zhu Xinjue was his actual target; compared to Hou Chengwu, this man was more cruel and ruthless. Even when caught, he managed to change his identity through connections and continue living outside the law. The laws of the alliance were merely a decoration in the face of UR privileges.

Now that Zhu Xinjue obviously wanted to kill him, Xiang Beifei naturally would not sit back and wait for death; he planned to kill him first, giving no quarter this time.

However, to kill Zhu Xinjue, he must change the location; Xiang Beifei could not show up here!

Qingzhou University, if plotting the reckoning, would definitely target Yanzhou University's Zhu Xinjue.

And Yanzhou University would certainly claim, it was Qingzhou University that set the trap to lure them in.

As long as they could not find Xiang Beifei in this abyss, then Hou Chengwu's death would have nothing to do with Xiang Beifei, nor with Liangzhou University.

Xiang Beifei did not wish to cause unnecessary trouble for Liangzhou University.
