Everyone looked at Xiang Beifei with mocking eyes, and many even snorted in disdain.
Tao Jin returned his gaze to Xiang Beifei and continued, "No one raised their hand, do you know why?"
He said condescendingly, dragging out his words, "Because true elites do not need to rely on the entrance assessment of Liangzhou University to get in!"
After he finished speaking, many people laughed.
At Liangzhou University, the lowest system talent is R grade; R grade students are as common as blades of grass, and S grade students are everywhere. Yet, currently, there isn't a single student who needed to rely on the entrance assessment to get in.
The laughter was ear-piercing.
They were all mocking Xiang Beifei's overestimation of himself.
Xiang Beifei just stood there calmly, scanning the system interfaces of the students present and assessing their cultivation levels.
It seemed that the talented students in the Meridian Opening stage hadn't come; those present were mostly in the Qi-Controlling stage, and most of them had only started attending the university a year earlier than Xiang Beifei.
But thinking about it, even for S grades, it is quite difficult to advance to the Meridian Opening stage, not to mention for R grades. Many R-grade law enforcement members of the enforcement team are in the late Qi-Controlling stage and might not reach the Meridian Opening stage even by graduation.
As for S grades, the early stages of cultivation are relatively quick, and maybe the Awakening System could reach the late Qi-Controlling stage within a year, but to go further is a bottleneck. To step into the Meridian Opening stage, it would take at least several years!
Two to three years would be considered quick, and four to five years would be quite normal.
And once reaching the Meridian Opening stage, the subsequent advancement becomes even more challenging.
Even Lu Hong, who had probably graduated from Liangzhou University some twenty years ago, was still at the initial stage of Meridian Opening, and only recently, with the help of Xiang Beifei, did he begin to advance to the middle stage of cultivation.
Of course, Lu Hong's cultivation hadn't progressed further due to a past injury he sustained, and because advancing during the Meridian Opening stage is difficult, and it takes more time.
But even so, real Meridian Opening stage cultivators only make up a very small part of the university's students.
Liangzhou University has graduation requirements for its students. Besides needing to earn enough credits for certain courses, there are also strict stipulations for strength!
R grades, to graduate, need to be at least in the late Qi-Controlling stage.
S grades, to graduate, must at least be in the initial Meridian Opening stage.
Those genius students who have already reached the Meridian Opening stage have either left the school or might have stayed to continue further study. Elite students who stay to delve deeper are busy with their own courses and wouldn't waste time coming to such a place to trouble an N grade student.
Since there were no students in the Meridian Opening stage present, that would make things easier.
Seeing Tao Jin and the others still aggressively blocking the way, Lu Zhiwei warned, "If you block him, when Mr. Yuchi arrives later, you are going to suffer the consequences!"
Tao Jin and Yu Xiaoyao both frowned upon hearing Lu Zhiwei's words.
They knew too well how terrifying Yuchi Shen was, called Old Devil by the students because he trained them ruthlessly.
Nobody wanted to provoke the bad luck of offending Yuchi Shen, especially since today's entrance assessment for Xiang Beifei was under his charge. If they caught his attention, they could expect to be skinned during the next training session!
Yuchi Shen hadn't arrived yet, so they dared to block the way here. But if Yuchi Shen were to arrive later, they'd be too busy trying to escape.
Tao Jin and Yu Xiaoyao exchanged glances and then gave a few suggestive looks to the others around them.
"Fine, if you want to pass this way," Tao Jin said, with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, as he looked at Xiang Beifei.
At this moment, a dense series of footsteps approached, the steps sounding extremely heavy as if the person was wearing thousand-pound shoes, seemingly stomping on everyone's heart with each step.
Tao Jin and Yu Xiaoyao, among others, tacitly stepped back, clearing the way.
Soon, a person entered Xiang Beifei's line of sight from behind.
It was an extremely fat male student, as wide as three normal people put together, his flesh layered upon layer, bulging in an exaggerated manner.
But what was piled upon him wasn't excess fat, it was solid muscle! Each section of muscle undulated as he moved, faintly brimming with terrifying power.
[S-rank, Flesh Striking System]
[Realm: Late-Stage Qi-Controlling]
Xiong Meng was a very greedy person; as long as someone gave him a little benefit and told him what to do, he wouldn't hesitate and wouldn't consider the consequences.
Tao Jin and Yu Xiaoyao didn't want to provoke the bad luck associated with Yuchi Shen, so they found Xiong Meng to take the lead, as he was thick-skinned and wouldn't be much affected by Yuchi Shen's grinding.
"It's actually this guy!"
Lu Zhiwei's face changed slightly, obviously recognizing Xiong Meng.
Xiong Meng was massive, a martial artist who specifically cultivated physical prowess. He had a big reputation in their cohort because every section of his muscles contained great strength.
The speed of physical cultivation was incredibly slow; other S-rank systems had reached the late-stage of Qi-Controlling months ago, but he had only stepped into it last week.
Back when he was only at the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling, Xiong Meng was able to confront ordinary late-stage Qi-Controlling warriors just with his muscular body. Now, although he had only been at the late stage of Qi-Controlling for a few days, even Lu Zhiwei could not afford to underestimate him!
Lu Zhiwei, worried that Xiang Beifei might suffer a loss, still stood in front of Xiang Beifei and shouted at Xiong Meng, "Xiong Meng, don't look for trouble where there isn't any!"
A red light shone on her arm, ready to deal with Xiong Meng at any moment.
However, Yu Xiaoyao's gaze suddenly lit up with a red gleam, as she smiled at Lu Zhiwei, "Lu Zhiwei, listen, what's that sound?"
A series of tinkling laughter reached Lu Zhiwei's ears.
"I've been careless!"
Lu Zhiwei inwardly cried out, realizing her mistake. She had focused all her attention on Xiong Meng and had neglected Yu Xiaoyao.
An eerie pink light flared up, and Lu Zhiwei and Yu Xiaoyao vanished from the spot.
Yu Xiaoyao's ability was known as [Charm Allure], where 'degree' refers to a dimensional space. A one-degree space is a one-dimensional space, and currently, she had unlocked up to seven degrees, meaning she could create a Seven-Degree Space!
She could lure anyone into her created system space through charm and use the special properties of the dimensional space to suppress her opponent.
Yu Xiaoyao knew that Lu Zhiwei was not easy to handle. Lu Zhiwei also had a considerable reputation in their cohort, possessing top-notch qualities in all aspects, and she was straightforward by nature, not caring how others viewed her.
If Lu Zhiwei intervened in matters concerning Xiang Beifei, others who wanted to trouble Xiang Beifei might have second thoughts, so Yu Xiaoyao directly pulled Lu Zhiwei into the Seven-Degree Space, denying her the chance to protect Xiang Beifei.
Yu Xiaoyao and Lu Zhiwei were both in the late stage of Qi-Controlling, so even if she dragged her in, she wouldn't gain much of an advantage, but it could buy some time, leaving Xiang Beifei alone at the scene!
