Ten minutes later, Xiang Beifei had killed all a hundred desolate beasts!
An Xiyu's gaze was also shockingly fixed on Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei slowly turned around, looked at An Xiyu, and asked, "Is that all?"
An Xiyu, looking at the desolate beast corpses scattered everywhere, suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
As a guardian, she had grown accustomed to seeing many people bravely slaying desolate beasts. Such scenes were not strange to her, but she had never seen a Qi-Controlling student achieve this level of prowess within just ten minutes!
An Xiyu gritted her teeth and said, "I told you, I didn't want you to kill these desolate beasts through brute force but to exploit their weaknesses! You have the strength, but your companions do not! I want to teach you where their vulnerabilities lie! It's not about you playing the hero!"
"Then take a look at how these desolate beasts died," Xiang Beifei said.
An Xiyu paused, walked over to the group of desolate beasts, and scrutinized the bodies lying on the ground. After distinguishing carefully for a moment, she was shocked again!
Each desolate beast had been killed with a single strike, precisely targeting their weaknesses!
He had already known the weaknesses of these desolate beasts?
And his moves were so clean and decisive!
"It's just the two of us here. If I can easily kill these desolate beasts by targeting their weaknesses, so can you. If we both can do it, how can you speak of heroism?" Xiang Beifei asked.
An Xiyu was left speechless by Xiang Beifei's retort.
Today, she had intended to teach Xiang Beifei each desolate beast's weakness, and how to kill them with the least effort, but Xiang Beifei evidently didn't need her instruction.
She suddenly realized that bringing Xiang Beifei here might have been somewhat redundant.
And at that moment, a tentacle suddenly shot out of the ground beneath Xiang Beifei's feet, silently stabbing towards his back.
Xiang Beifei, facing An Xiyu, seemed not to notice.
An Xiyu's expression changed slightly, and she immediately yelled, "Watch out behind you!"
Despite her biases against Xiang Beifei, she still urgently wanted to intervene and deal with that tentacle.
Bias is bias, but duty is duty.
As a teaching assistant, as a guardian, protecting students is her obligation.
An Xiyu had even dashed in front of Xiang Beifei, intending to pull him away.
But Xiang Beifei just calmly looked at An Xiyu, hardly bothering to turn around, letting the tentacle strike his back—
A wave of Spiritual Power swept up from his back, forming into a clever force that surged along the tentacle, recoiling upon it!
The tentacle was shattered into pieces by the backlash of his Spiritual Power, scattering in the air.
The ground also oozed a pool of blue blood, as the desolate beast died without even having the chance to emerge its head and body.
An Xiyu's hand, originally reaching out to grab Xiang Beifei, stopped mid-air.
"Still think I killed the Triangular Thunder Krait by luck?" Xiang Beifei stared at An Xiyu and asked.
An Xiyu was astounded!
She had realized that what Xiang Beifei had just used was surely the "Counterstrike" taught by Professor Guo!
With the power of Spiritual Power's "Counterstrike," he had killed the desolate beast lurking underground!
He had mastered the Counterstrike so proficiently?
How could this be possible? He had only been learning for a month!
In just one month, he had mastered it to this extent?
"If you want to train me, find some tougher desolate beasts, these are not sufficient," Xiang Beifei said earnestly.
An Xiyu remained silent, not knowing what to say.
Looking for tougher desolate beasts?
Xiang Beifei was just a freshman. He only needed to understand the desolate beasts that freshmen should learn about, which were already quite troublesome for many freshmen! Not to mention, even sophomores and juniors probably couldn't handle them completely.
Today's outing with Xiang Beifei was just because, as the class representative for the defense course, he needed to learn how to deal with these desolate beasts first before commanding other students.
But now that Xiang Beifei had already learned and could identify the weaknesses of the desolate beasts, it meant that he was already qualified as a class representative.
An Xiyu's confidence was suddenly shaken.
"Is he really that strong?"
An Xiyu's trap for the desolate beasts had been pointed out by Xiang Beifei as flawed. She thought she could regain some face by surpassing Xiang Beifei in knowledge of desolate beasts' weaknesses, but it turned out Xiang Beifei's understanding of desolate beasts was not less than hers.
Most importantly, Professor Guo's defense skills!
He had mastered them so quickly! He had been learning for less than a month!
She, a formidable SR-level genius, had also taken a whole six months just to get started the last time she learned Professor Guo's defense skills, and even now, possibly the power of the Counterstrike might not be as strong as Xiang Beifei's, not considering cultivation level!
Professor Guo had told her last time that Xiang Beifei was a genius, and An Xiyu had been somewhat skeptical, but now she was forced to believe it.
"The professor may not understand people's character, but he recognizes talent. It seems he was not wrong, so was I the one who was mistaken?"
An Xiyu's heart could not calm down.
"Well done! Good job!"
Professor Guo's voice suddenly appeared not far away.
Xiang Beifei and An Xiyu turned their heads and saw that Professor Guo was standing by the Beacon Tower, his face aglow with excitement as he watched Xiang Beifei.
