When system cheat becomes rampant!

Mu Yiqing was well aware that Xiang Beifei could not possibly deceive her system's judgment, even if he were an SSR; she could discern whether the other party was telling the truth. And her system had just detected that this guy had lied!

So, from her years of experience, her speculation about Xiang Beifei's system was almost spot on!

Using thoughts to suppress the opponent, the clearer she understood the consequences of each punch she threw, the more powerful the punch became!

From the way the system operated, it was definitely the case!

"So he is a thought-type System Awakener, no wonder his speech is odd and his thought process is always different from that of ordinary people."

Having realized this, Mu Yiqing quickly let it go.

She had found the reason why Xiang Beifei had always been provoking her!

This guy, being a thought-type System Awakener, must have a lot of thoughts in his mind, which could explain why his words were almost infuriating.

Having guessed Xiang Beifei's system type, Mu Yiqing seemed much more relaxed!

"Speaking of which, thought-type System Awakeners are really rare. I just wonder what he was thinking when he was fighting with Hou Chengwu and Chen Baiwen."

Mu Yiqing pondered.

Was he imagining the scene of them getting beaten up with each punch?

A moment later, she unconsciously thought of Xiang Beifei's standards for choosing a mate.

If his system's judgment of his mate selection criteria was true, then why did he choose such standards for his other half?

Was he looking for a girl who could be a pioneer as a wife?

Good grief.

Mu Yiqing furrowed her brows deeply, and after a while, she asked, "System, what are my BMI, vision, heart rate, vital capacity, and blood pressure values again?"

[BMI: 21]

[Vision 5.1]

[Heart rate: 87 (adjustable range 0-555)]

[Vital capacity: 16800]

[Blood pressure: 125/87]

"Is the vital capacity not up to standard?"

Mu Yiqing took a deep breath and tried to hold her breath for a while.

Ten minutes later, she turned red-faced, and the vital capacity showed only: 16000.

Martial artists generally have a high vital capacity because lacking it can lead to disaster when walking in exotic desolate environments outside the domain.

Before the pioneers truly start acting, they need to undergo related tests every year, such as heart rate and blood pressure, where each pioneer must have a certain ability to adjust.

Many desolate beasts have very sharp hearing. They can ascertain their target by listening to the rate of heartbeat.

The specific human heart rate is generally 60 to 100. Some desolate beasts can determine people by listening to their heartbeats, thus deciding whether to attack or retreat; therefore, it's crucial for pioneers to learn to adjust their heart rate for proper camouflage.

During college simulation courses on "Exotic Desolate Environments," teachers taught students whose systems could not adjust their heart rate to cultivate special techniques to achieve this ability.

But she remembered that when the Alliance was recruiting pioneers, the vital capacity standard test was only 15000, so why on earth did this guy need such a high vital capacity in a mate?

"How long would it take for me to run three kilometers, do a standing long jump, and climb thirty floors of stairs?" Mu Yiqing asked again.

These odd requirements she had never tried before, nor did she understand why Xiang Beifei set them.

But since the system judged that Xiang Beifei was telling the truth, she had to investigate to see why his mate selection criteria were as such. She was determined to uncover Xiang Beifei's secrets!

[Without using the system and spiritual power, the system cannot judge; the host needs to record on their own. Would you like to search for the location of a nearby thirty-story building for testing?]

"Heh."

Think you can trick me into climbing stairs without using spiritual power and the system?

Am I that bored!

[The system estimates that the host might not meet Xiang Beifei's mate selection criteria based on her physical condition]

"I don't care."

Mu Yiqing squinted her eyes, huffed lightly, and leaned on the balcony, looking out at the distant scenery.

After a minute of silence.

"Search for the location of a nearby thirty-story building."

Mu Yiqing said reluctantly.

After a moment, she added, "Don't get me wrong. I'm just investigating Xiang Beifei's situation, trying to fully understand Xiang Beifei's background and his secrets, nothing more."

She really didn't believe it!

After all, she was an SSR, a powerful pioneer, a strong woman in the alliance. How could she not meet these ridiculous requirements he set?

"[Host, there's no need to explain—nobody cares what you say]"

The system helpfully prompted.

——

——

Xiang Beifei's mate selection standards were nonsensical.

Regardless of what he said, Mu Yiqing's system took it seriously, so he let her investigate.

Of course, to avoid arousing Mu Yiqing's suspicion, he even had Xiaohei change the display of the [Words and Deeds Global System] to[Lies].

If it continuously displayed [Truth], people might suspect the system was malfunctioning.

But incorporating lies actually made it more persuasive.

Since the system could differentiate truth from lies, and Mu Yiqing profoundly trusted her own SSR system, any display from the system could guide Mu Yiqing.

Xiang Beifei no longer concerned himself with Mu Yiqing's affairs, and went to visit Lu Hong.

Lu Hong's arm had been broken but had been reattached; however, the meridians that had been opened in his arm were also damaged. Although not as severely as Kong Daming's, it would still take a long time for him to recover.

When martial artists get injured, their bodies might heal easily, but the foundation of their cultivation is not so simple to repair—every injury causes their strength to regress significantly.

After returning from the hospital to his home, Xiang Qingde finally had some free time. The restaurant was destroyed, and that area was still under lockdown, so he had no choice but to stay idle at home.

Xiang Beifei, on the other hand, went back to his bedroom to continue his cultivation.

Over the next two days, Xiang Beifei reopened the meridians that had been destroyed by the "Return to the Original State" while repairing the pioneering stone, and then continued to open the meridians in his spine.

By this point, the meridians he had opened extended to both his hands and feet. There were only a few vertebrae left in his spine to open, leaving only the body's meridians not fully opened.

The spinal meridians are critical as they support the entire body.

No matter from which part of the body one starts to open meridians, they need to extend towards the spine. When all the spinal meridians are fully opened, it signifies that one has entered the mid-phase of Meridian Opening.

Kong Daming was almost at this stage, but because of the One-Armed Crab, his meridians were interrupted and became chaotic. Trying to reopen them was akin to starting over.

The spine contains various densely packed blood vessels and nerves, controlling the whole body. Extensive damage to the spine generally results in paralysis; it is crucial for normal people.

The same applies to cultivators in the Meridian Opening phase. To carve a new meridian outside these nerves and blood vessels for conducting spiritual power is a meticulous task that requires extreme care and cannot be achieved overnight.

This is why many martial artists spend only three to four years advancing from the late Qi-Controlling phase to the early Meridian Opening phase, but it takes seven to eight years, or even longer, to progress from the early to the mid Meridian Opening phase!

Of course, the higher the system level, the faster the pace of opening meridians, which is almost a consensus. Normally, the system would plan the meridian routes for the host, sparing them the worry. The host simply needs to follow the system's instructions diligently, complete tasks, and collect spiritual power crystals.

But for someone like Xiang Beifei, who didn't have a system to plan, everything must be figured out on his own, which made it more challenging.

However, fortunately, his natural talent for cultivation was high. Using the Chaotic Yin-Yang Qi Formula provided by the Spirit Gathering Book to open meridians wasn't too difficult.

He locked himself in his room for an entire week, endeavoring to open the meridians in his spine. When the last section of his spine was filled with meridians, Xiang Beifei felt as if he had stepped into a new realm!

This sensation was extraordinary, as if suddenly, a force strung his whole body together!

When he was still in the early phase of Meridian Opening, the distribution of strength in his body was uneven and not fully interconnected. His primary strength concentrated in his hands, but the areas where no meridians were opened could not exert strong spiritual power.

The spiritual powers of different parts of the body operated independently. For example, the spiritual powers of the hands and feet couldn't connect through the meridians, leading to differences in strength between them. The areas with more developed meridians were stronger—Xiang Beifei's arm strength was greater than his leg strength.

However, once the spinal meridians were opened, it was as if an invisible line connected his hands and feet; the strength from his hands could instantly travel through the main spinal meridian to his feet. Thus, the strength he could exert from his hands and feet became perfectly interconnected, making them equally strong.

This is why advancing from the early to the mid-phase of Meridian Opening represents an upgrade—it makes a martial artist's body more coordinated, enhancing both attack techniques and agility!

One could say, progressing from the early to the mid-phase of Meridian Opening is a transformation.

Xiang Beifei stood up from the bed, moved his limbs, and felt that if he faced the One-Armed Crab again, he might not even need to rely on "Return to the Original State" to break through the crab's defenses.

However, this wasn't the main point. Xiang Beifei was more concerned with the fact that he now possessed the ability to activate the mid-phase Meridian Opening constellations!

He quickly took out seven mid-phase Meridian Opening beast pills.

To Xiang Beifei, mid-phase Meridian Opening beast pills were no longer scarce; he had ventured to the outer domains many times. Elder Luo had helped him with some, and during training sessions with their team, Ye Changfeng had killed quite a few—he had long gathered them together.

Now that he possessed the strength of the mid-phase of Meridian Opening, he was ready to unlock the seal on the constellation!

That is the Tail Constellation!

The Tail Constellation had seven seals, requiring seven mid-phase spiritual power crystals to unlock. Xiaohei quickly merged the Tail Constellation into seven spiritual power crystals, implanting them into the constellation. Soon, all seven crystals lit up brightly.

An old, worn stone pillar appeared in mid-air.
