Revisions made at six.
At that moment, a lazy voice emerged from the corner, "Otherwise, how should we talk? In the Martial Arts College, we communicate with our fists. Why don't you two have a fight?"
Wei Tong turned his head and noticed that somehow Elder Luo had been sitting there all along, and his face quickly changed.
A fight? What a joke! Even though he was an SSR, he wasn't a match for a single punch from Ye Changfeng.
An Xiyu, realizing something, spoke up, "Have you reached the late stage of Meridian Opening?"
Professor Guo also came to his senses, staring at Xiang Beifei in astonishment.
He knew Xiang Beifei was talented, but normally by now, he would at best be at the mid-stage of Meridian Opening. How could he have suddenly reached this level?
Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Not yet."
"So, what is your level of cultivation?" Professor Guo asked cautiously.
"Mid-stage of Meridian Opening," Xiang Beifei replied.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Professor Guo, to be honest, his concern was An Xiyu.
Last term, An Xiyu followed his suggestion and chose to develop within the alliance, and now she was interning in the alliance.
The alliance had always been watching him, searching for information about him, so they would definitely spare no effort to find a breakthrough from those around him, and An Xiyu was obviously one of them.
Of course, given An Xiyu's character, Xiang Beifei believed she wouldn't betray him actively. However, she was just an SR in the late stage of Meridian Opening.
Any SSR at a stage similar to Mu Yiqing's late God Refining could easily extract information from An Xiyu without a trace, even with Liangzhou University's many confidentiality measures for its students.
Liangzhou University was now not purely Liangzhou University. For instance, the literary Daoist managing the Martial Arts College was a person sent by the alliance, all keeping a close watch on Xiang Beifei.
His strength had improved fast enough. With the Awakening System, in half a year, he had reached the early stage of Meridian Opening, and in less than a year, he had reached the late stages, far surpassing the common SSR!
This terrifying speed of cultivation was something even UR Awakeners couldn't achieve!
If those people knew his cultivation speed was so fast, they would probably stop at nothing to cause him trouble.
Thus, Xiang Beifei had to keep it concealed until he broke through to the God Refining phase. By then, he would truly have the ability to protect himself, not fearing people like He Caiwei—
And he could even catch the alliance's lofty SSRs and URs off guard and give them a lesson!
He had already spread this news, and recently had deliberately demonstrated his mid-stage Meridian Opening strength in front of many students, which should reassure He Caiwei.
Now He Caiwei would definitely think it was Elder Luo who had killed those three men, and wouldn't dare to act rashly. He Caiwei and the others focusing their attention on Elder Luo, would then not pay attention to Xiang Beifei, whose cultivation was only at the mid-stage of Meridian Opening.
That way, Xiang Beifei could quietly grow stronger.
Once he attained sufficient cultivation, he could then go out and fight.
"So that's how it is."
With this level of strength, Professor Guo could accept it, but he was clearly somewhat dispirited; he actually hoped Xiang Beifei's cultivation was at the late stage of Meridian Opening.
"Then why did you ask about the matters of the divine soul?" Professor Guo asked again.
His powerful aura coalesced into a sharp force that silently descended upon Ma Kainian.
Ma Kainian shuddered upon seeing Xiang Beifei, intimidated by his frightening aura.
Xiang Beifei was rumored to be capable of killing a One-Armed Crab in the late stage of Meridian Opening with a single punch; his presence here was no joke.
Ma Kainian steadied himself and cursed inwardly. After all, he was an official of the alliance. No matter how famous this kid was, he was just a commoner with no power or influence. If anyone should be scared, it should be him!
"Xiang Beifei, a big shot, huh," Ma Kainian spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Xiang Beifei, without a word, glanced indifferently and then walked towards Kong Daming, asking, "I saw the phone message just now. What happened to my grandfather?"
"I'm not sure, he seemed to be feeling unwell just a while ago, so I helped him upstairs to rest. He's up there now," Kong Daming said.
"Got it, I'll go up and see him."
Xiang Beifei, without another word, headed for the stairs.
However, Ma Kainian was irked to see that he had been ignored!
"Hmph! To this day, not even basic manners…"
Xiang Beifei said bluntly.
Ma Kainian's head spun. Then he involuntarily lay down and actually rolled out of the place on the ground.
Kong Daming and Zhang Xiang watched Ma Kainian roll away on the ground in shock, and for a moment, they were completely stunned.
Ma Kainian had actually... just rolled away like that?
This turn of events was totally unexpected for them.
"Why patrol the archives anyway? Who, with nothing better to do, would come steal from the archives? If you ask me, even if we didn't come for a year, it probably wouldn't matter," Zhou Guan complained languidly, his hands behind his head, following behind Sun Zhong. He wasn't very interested in this task and kept grumbling all the way.
Sun Zhong patrolled past a row of rooms on the third floor.
[You patrolled the N-level talent review department, patrol points +2]
[You patrolled the N-level talent dispatch department, patrol points +2]
Sun Zhong made a point to circle the empty room twice, then pressed a button on the wall to ensure the alarm was working properly before he left the room.
[You patrolled the main archive room entrance, patrol points +5]
Just then, Zheng Xing thought of something, quickly took out his phone to video call his son, and asked, "Son, you said you've seen Xiang Beifei before. Look, is this person Xiang Beifei?"
