Xiang Beifei wasn't worried about being suspected for taking Yuchi Shen's system reward, although he didn't know what the other's system task was. The higher the level of the system reward, the longer it definitely took to complete.
He had only completed one system task, which might not be enough for Yuchi Shen to receive a reward immediately. It probably would accumulate over some time, possibly taking several days, or even several months to receive.
During this period, many changes could occur, and many people would be involved in his task, making it less likely for Yuchi Shen to suspect him.
Even if some small rewards could be obtained immediately, Xiang Beifei also needed to alert Xiaohei, reminding it to pick the timing and disguise itself when retrieving the parcel.
The instructors at elite universities weren't like Yang Hua, whose cultivation was only in the late stage of Qi-Controlling; they were more vigilant, and Xiang Beifei had to be even more cautious when exploiting the system.
Training Ground One was like a stadium, very large, only instead of grass, the ground was covered with glittering transparent black slates.
These slates were quite peculiar. When you walked on them, you could see your own reflection, but the reflection on the floor wasn't foot to foot like in a mirror, flipped over in your current posture, it seemed more like there was another self standing right below you.
It was hard to say if it was really a reflection; perhaps calling it a projection was more apt.
The other elite students all sat in the spectator seats. Training Ground One allowed others to watch someone's simulation training, where spectators could immersively see the scenarios encountered by the people in the field.
This facilitated mutual learning among everyone, to glean various experiences and identify individual shortcomings, as was customary in regular simulation training.
Yuchi Shen stood at the center of Training Ground One, waiting for Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei also slowly walked towards him.
"I don't care whom you punched away, but in front of me, an assessment is an assessment, and if you don't pass, then you have no place in Liangzhou University," Yuchi Shen said slowly.
Even though he knew that Xiang Beifei was essentially guaranteed admission, he couldn't truly tell Xiang Beifei that, or Xiang Beifei wouldn't take this assessment seriously.
Xiang Beifei didn't show any reaction.
Yuchi Shen thought he was unclear, but he actually understood it better than anyone.
At today's training ground, besides the more than two hundred elite students in the Qi-Controlling stage, there were also thirteen powerful presences in various inconspicuous corners.
Xiang Beifei couldn't see what these people looked like. They used various methods to hide their figures and stood in the unremarkable corners of the spectator seats, not easily noticed by ordinary people.
But Xiang Beifei could vaguely see these people's system panels. Although a few were too far away, making the system panel information unclear, he could still vaguely discern that these people's system panels contained only three simple lines of information.
Apart from the SR-level Ye Changfeng and Elder Luo, there were six other SR-level individuals and another five S-level experts.
Of these thirteen, twelve showed that their system stages were above the Meridian Opening!
Even those five S-level individuals, their system interfaces were unclear to Xiang Beifei. Clearly, these five were among the top in the S-level, having broken through the Meridian Opening stage, likely reaching the God Refining stage.
The remaining SR who was somewhat unremarkable was Elder Luo, at the [Meridian Opening Initial Stage].
However, with Elder Luo's system characteristics, Xiang Beifei wouldn't underestimate him.
The powerful instructors of Liangzhou University were definitely not limited to these thirteen; probably only these thirteen had come, while others might be watching from elsewhere using other methods.
These people were here to observe him. After his punch earlier, countless prying eyes chaosly glanced at him, wanting to understand what he was really about.
Xiaohei was huffy, constantly being glared at by others to the point of nearly losing its temper.
Xiang Beifei had a good idea whether or not he could be admitted; he knew he was almost certainly secure. Yuchi Shen wanting to assess him was merely a pretext to intimidate him personally.
However, he did not shrink back; he still needed to complete this assessment, rightfully and justly.
"I'll just assume you're ready."
Yuchi Shen chuckled softly, then flicked his hand, and a metal ball came smashing towards Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei furrowed his brows; he did not know the purpose of this metal ball, but he still reached out to catch it.
The iron ball was only the size of an egg and felt ice cold to the touch. The moment he grasped the iron ball, it suddenly burst out a grey glow, enveloping his hand.
"To pass my admission test, you need to kill a Three Souls Desolate Snake. But if you come back empty-handed, it means your admission test has failed, and you will have nothing to do with Liangzhou University!"
Yuchi Shen sneered at Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei felt something was amiss, for at that moment, he saw Ye Changfeng transform into a streak of light, rushing from afar and shouting towards him, "Yuchi Shen, you've gone too far!"
Even Elder Luo stopped eating sunflower seeds and stood up with a solemn expression.
"What does this mean?"
Xiang Beifei did not understand what had happened; he felt a light emanating from the iron ball in his hand, forming a peculiar pattern under his feet. Suddenly, he was enveloped by darkness, as if something had grabbed him and pulled him into a vortex.
Ye Changfeng was just a moment too late to grab Xiang Beifei; by the time he arrived, Xiang Beifei had already vanished from the training ground.
A wrathful look appeared on Ye Changfeng's usually elegant face, and his aura instantly became fiercely sharp, like a drawn sword pointing directly at Yuchi Shen.
"What's wrong? Ye Changfeng, do you have time to chat with me today?" Yuchi Shen waved to shield their conversation, preventing the other students from listening in.
"This is an admission test! Just a test! How dare you send him to that kind of place! You have a personal grudge with Xiang Tianxing, using such disgraceful means under the guise of duty!" Ye Changfeng roared.
"The school has assigned me to handle the N-level candidates' admission tests, so how I conduct the test is none of your business!" Yuchi Shen replied languidly.
At this time, Elder Luo had also rushed over, frowning as he looked at Yuchi Shen.
"Elder Luo, Xiang Beifei—he—" Ye Changfeng said urgently.
Elder Luo's gaze was piercing as he stared at Yuchi Shen.
Yuchi Shen felt uncomfortable under Elder Luo's stare, but he still said, "This is the assessment I am in charge of."
After a moment, he sneered again, "Aren't you very confident in him? Do you think he can't handle this situation?"
"He has no experience with the external desolate realms! He hasn't even systematically studied desolate beasts, and you send him there on his first test; how is that different from sending him to his death!"
Ye Changfeng shouted, "Did you have the guts to try the external desolate realms right upon admission? I remember, on your first visit to the external desolate realms, you nearly died under a Mad Claw Beast! And you were an SR-level then! Not to mention, you had studied desolate beasts at school for six months and reached the late stages of Qi-Controlling before you went!"
Yuchi Shen's face darkened, "What are you implying?"
"You know exactly what I mean! You couldn't even pass an assessment after half a year of studying; how dare you expect a high school student who hasn't received formal training to undertake such a task?"
Ye Changfeng's tone became increasingly aggressive.
