When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 139: Chapter 130: Spiritual Power

Xiang Beifei was astonished and widened his eyes.

Such a bizarre desolate beast?

"There is also a desolate beast called Meng Huai. It is formless and traceless; you can't see it. When you're awake, it won't do anything to you, but as soon as you close your eyes for more than a minute in the outside domain's desolate wilderness, it will drag you into sleep. In the dream, no matter how violent or powerful your body's means of attack are, they are useless in the dream. Your fists won't work on it, and once it kills you in the dream, you won't ever wake up!" Luo Laotou added.

Many times when venturing deep into the outside domain's desolate wilderness, tasks require several days, and you will inevitably need to rest. Then the probability of encountering Meng Huai is very high!

"There's a desolate beast called Hun Ye. It is visible but only visible. You can't touch it. It's like a ghost, immune to any physical or energy attack! Yet, it can still hurt you!"

"There is another desolate beast called Ruolai. It moves with sound waves and screams chaotically in combat. As long as you are within the area covered by its sound, it can appear at any position at will. By the time you hear its sound, it may already have suddenly appeared at your ear, cutting off your neck, leaving you completely unguarded."

"There's also a desolate beast..."

Luo Laotou then listed a whole bunch of desolate beasts that couldn't be killed by brute force alone, which aroused more and more curiosity in Xiang Beifei.

He had only arrived in this world not long ago. In the two months since awakening, he had been solely focused on his cultivation. Other than the cultural classes in high school, he hadn't learned about desolate beasts and had no idea that they had so many strange and bizarre abilities.

"Powerful desolate beasts rely not just on brute force but also intelligence. Their abilities are not inferior to those of human System Awakeners. A big reason we've been unable to expand our territory is that it's not so easy to eradicate the desolate beasts in many of the outer border regions. These creatures don't go down without a fight," Luo Laotou explained.

Xiang Beifei nodded thoughtfully.

He had learned this basic knowledge: Pioneers are a group of System Awakeners with various miraculous abilities, many of them powerful SR and SSR. If the desolate beasts in the outside domain wilderness were indeed that easy to vanquish, humans wouldn't be limited to the territories they currently possess.

"Then what other abilities should I improve?" Xiang Beifei asked sincerely.

"Spiritual power!" Luo Laotou replied.

Xiang Beifei stroked his chin in contemplation.

"Meng Huai, Hun Ye, and Ruolai can only be dealt with by spiritual power. Thus, it is best for a pioneer team to include someone with strong spiritual power attacks," Luo Laotou continued.

"I see," Xiang Beifei nodded slightly.

Luo Laotou sized up Xiang Beifei and said with confusion, "Of course, I don't know what your system is, but I've noticed your spiritual defense is rather strong. I just tried various means of spiritual detection to probe you, but it seems none were successful. Do you possess various spiritual power abilities?"

"No, I only have spiritual defense."

Xiang Beifei shook his head honestly. There was no point in hiding this since so many people had tried to probe him, only to be blocked. Almost everyone could guess he possessed this ability. Any experienced person would deduce it.

He had Xiaohei, and Xiaohei's abilities were very effective against the systems of human Awakeners, designed specifically for flashy system defenses, but he didn't know if they would work against desolate beasts like Meng Huai and Hun Ye that attacked with spiritual power.

"Then you must learn this!" Luo Laotou asserted.

"Okay, I'll learn!"

Xiang Beifei nodded earnestly.

Without the help of a system, he couldn't have the various special abilities granted by systems at any time, such as healing, defense, escape skills, etc. Everything he achieved relied on his own cultivation.

He was willing to learn anything that could make him stronger and complement his shortcomings.

Luo Laotou smiled and said, "Okay, I'm not too busy lately, and you're on summer break. Come see me in a couple of days. I'll teach you some basic spiritual power attacks."

He got up, stretched lazily and said, "I need to deal with some important matters now, so I won't accompany you any longer. Don't worry, in a couple of days, you'll receive your admission notice."

Xiang Beifei noticed that Luo Laotou chose the [Nap Task].

So, the important matters turned out to be this!

It was now noon, and after a whole morning of assessments, Xiang Beifei had cracked some melon seeds and wasn't hungry yet. But he didn't want to disturb the old man's sleep and said, "Then I'll head back first, I'll come over in a couple of days."

Luo Laotou pulled out his phone to add contact details for him, then said, "Oh right, almost forgot. I promised to give Yuchi Shen a piece of my mind. Go back home, and I'll take care of this for you. I'll train him a bit; if I don't peel him a layer, he won't learn. Does he really think I don't exist?"

He didn't immediately proceed with the [Nap Task] but chose the [Scolding Task] and [Practice Task] instead, then left contentedly, ready to deal with Yuchi Shen on Xiang Beifei's behalf.

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but smile. An SR Leisure System must be excellent, as it seemed everything it did led to becoming stronger.

"Wow! I didn't know you were that strong!"

Lu Zhiwei thought Xiang Beifei had left with Ye Changfeng to handle school admission procedures, so she didn't follow him and had been waiting for him.

"I thought you had gone back to class," Xiang Beifei remarked.

"Classes are over! I thought those classmates might bully you, so I decided to skip class to protect you. Who would have thought that you were actually so strong!" Lu Zhiwei huffed, "You made my actions look foolish!"
