However, the infant did not dissipate; after being cleaved, countless tentacles burst from its body and merged into the surrounding tentacles.
Ye Changfeng grasped his sword tightly and slashed out once again towards the front!
This strike was like a bolt of lightning, mixed with the terrifying force of thousands of pounds, and the bitter Sword Qi cut through hundreds of meters, actually splitting open a fissure in the sky full of tentacles!
As the tentacles were cleaved apart, they attempted to congeal back together, but soon between the tentacles, countless Sword Qi exploded—
All the tentacles failed to escape under Ye Changfeng's sword; he forcefully destroyed them throughout the city!
The tentacles were shredded by the Sword Qi, and the remaining ones began retracting towards the ground in fear, quickly disappearing from sight.
"You all wait here, don't run around!"
Ye Changfeng flung his sword out; the Longyuan Sword hovered over their heads, as if to protect them, while another sword appeared in his hand. With a single step, he vanished into thin air amidst a flicker of space.
"Thank goodness Mr. Ye came." Fan Kai breathed a sigh of relief. If Mr. Ye hadn't arrived in time, they might have been doomed this trip.
But Sun Yushan didn't quite understand and asked, "What kind of desolate beast is this thing? Why have we never seen it before?"
The two had been training in the Cultivated Domain for three years, and they were roughly aware of the types of desolate beasts present. Although some desolate beasts were powerful, none had ever been as troublesome as this time, and they hadn't expected to nearly lose their lives today.
Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment, then turned to Xiaohei and said, "Xiaohei, you should be able to take him out of this space, right?"
Xiaohei nodded. This was a space created by the system, and no power of the system could confine Xiaohei; it could leave the system's bindings whenever it wished.
"Then take him out of this space first and let him stay in the forest." Xiang Beifei said.
It was unclear what dangers lurked on this deserted island, but considering what had happened to Liu Gui, leaving him here would be unsafe. Taking him to the forest outside appeared to be a better option.
Xiaohei hopped onto Liu Gui, its tiny paws stepping on him, and Liu Gui's body started to seem a bit strange; Xiang Beifei could still see him, yet he could also see the forest ground outside of the space.
"This should be fine. Xiao Ma and the others might come into the forest looking for us; we need to continue searching for the others." Xiang Beifei stated.
Liu Gui's current condition should ensure he won't be harmed by any desolate beasts on the island, but Xiang Beifei needed to quickly find Lu Zhiwei and He Yun. Based on their earlier descriptions, the forest was very unsafe and could potentially kill them.
Xiang Beifei leaped forward and continued forward for about five minutes when suddenly, from within the forest, an urgent noise arose, followed by a surge of —
From the school, the only useful system rewards he could get were from teachers; the other students, even S-rank ones, were still only at the early stages of Qi-Controlling, and their task rewards were ineffective.
He had inadvertently taken part in many teachers' tasks, the reason they became teachers often due to their own system's choosing, frequently performing tasks on students.
But system rewards aren't instantaneous; to receive the rewards, one must wait until the other party completes their task.
Some people's tasks take a long time to complete, a few days at the least or even several months, so even if one partakes in the rewards, they're not received quickly.
However, Xiang Beifei had his principles. Some teachers and students were quite good to him, working hard on tasks to improve themselves, and it would be unfair to them to lose their rewards; he wouldn't target these people.
As long as no one brought trouble his way, everyone could coexist peacefully.
On the weekend, Xiang Qingde went to the market, while Xiang Beifei stayed at home and continued to practice the Chaos Yin-Yang Formula, finally breaking through to the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling.
He realized that the speed at which he was enhancing his strength was faster than that of S-rank Awakeners; Zhuo Jing and Liu Qianrou were still at the early stage of Qi-Controlling, and many R and N grade classmates hadn't even reached the threshold of Qi-Controlling.
Everyone possessed a system, and their power advances relied on completing tasks. Of course, some systems also provided their hosts with various cultivation methods, mainly to strengthen physical fitness, requiring personal cultivation to work.
Clearly, the pace of advancement varied.
"Are you the N-rank new student planning to enter Liangzhou University under societal pressure?" asked a —
"I hear you scored high in the cultural exams! But do you think our elite academy accepts anyone just because they're good at their studies?" another boy scoffed.
"Come on, let me, your sister, take care of you and teach you how to write the word 'elite'." A girl dressed breezily stretched lazily, her little finger digging into her ear.
"Hey, Yu Xiaoyao, we were here first. We need to establish our presence with the new student; it's our turn, your Mount Tai Club can queue up," the tall boy yelled.
Yu Xiaoyao, the girl referred to, let out a string of silvery laughter and said, "What's the matter, still sore from losing to us last time? Planning to take it out on the N-rank Awakener? Is that all you're capable of?"
"What do you mean by that! We went easy on you girls last time; can't you tell?" the tall boy retorted.
"Hehe, that's so amusing! Ding Ming, since you like letting us win so much, why not give us another chance?" Yu Xiaoyao giggled, twisting her slender waist.
