When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 161: Chapter 141: Frozen World

Zhu Xinjue didn't take this punch seriously, because the gap in strength meant Xiang Beifei's speed seemed slow to him, even very slow, and this punch couldn't hurt him at all.

Layers of frost had already lit up on his body, gathering at the spot where Xiang Beifei's punch was about to hit him.

Boom!

Xiang Beifei's fist, glowing with Rapid Flame, struck Zhu Xinjue's chest, but Zhu Xinjue's chest was protected by a layer of hard ice armor, which blocked the Rapid Flame. Moreover, the ice armor quickly released a cold breath, which shot up along Xiang Beifei's fist!

The strong Spiritual Power immediately suppressed the flames on Xiang Beifei's fist, but his Spiritual Power whirled and exploded instantly, shattering the cold air, and Xiaohei made a move again, whisking him away.

However, Xiang Beifei's fist roared past, piercing through Zhu Xinjue's body at the critical moment without touching him at all.

"You have quite the keen sense of smell!"

Zhu Xinjue had planned to freeze Xiang Beifei's fist with frost the instant it hit him, to firmly clutch it, but he found out that Xiang Beifei wouldn't fall for it.

Xiang Beifei had already moved behind Zhu Xinjue, his Spiritual Power circulating, dispelling the severe chill from his fist.

This guy was truly an SR-level Meridian Opening practitioner—the chill was strong enough to resist his Rapid Flame and almost gave him frostbite!

In close combat, it seemed he couldn't gain an advantage.

Zhu Xinjue swung his ice blade backward again, with his Spiritual Power trembling and releasing a powerful fluctuation, slashing at Xiang Beifei.

Whoosh!

The ice blade struck Xiang Beifei's body again, but Xiang Beifei's body seemed to be just a shadow, completely untouchable!

Xiang Beifei counterattacked with a kick aimed at Zhu Xinjue's face, and this time Zhu Xinjue's ice armor couldn't keep up with Xiang Beifei's speed and didn't cover his face in time. Zhu Xinjue couldn't afford to take the hit, so he dodged sideways.

Crack!

Xiang Beifei's kick landed on the tree trunk beside Zhu Xinjue, splitting the tree instantly!

"You've got some moves!"

Zhu Xinjue widened the distance between them, staring at the tree trunk that Xiang Beifei had split, frowning. With a wave of his hand, all the Extreme Ice Tigers charged at Xiang Beifei again.

But Xiang Beifei faced the Extreme Ice Tigers calmly and fearlessly, meeting them head-on.

Having been unaware of Xiaohei's ability to pass through system space, he struggled against the Extreme Ice Tigers' siege, but now he had mastered this ability, constantly transitioning between reality and system space was enough to deal with the attacks of a group of Extreme Ice Tigers!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Xiang Beifei could not overcome Zhu Xinjue, but dealing with the Extreme Ice Tigers was a piece of cake; he took them head-on, returning to the real world to dodge the Extreme Ice Tigers and then smashing their heads with a punch!

In just a few moments, all the remaining Extreme Ice Tigers were directly killed by Xiang Beifei!

"What kind of system ability is this?"

Zhu Xinjue had been observing Xiang Beifei's fight with the Extreme Ice Tigers, frowning deeply.

He noticed that Xiang Beifei's figure would disappear and reappear erratically, sometimes completely invisible, but then he would show up out of nowhere, yet still, he couldn't make contact with his opponent.

Xiang Beifei didn't explain; he disliked wasting time talking to his opponent during a fight!

However, from the brief exchange before, he had already deduced Zhu Xinjue's attack patterns using "Learn by Analogy". The ice armor was like a constantly moving snake, shifting on Zhu Xinjue's body, blocking wherever Xiang Beifei attacked.

But there was a slight delay in protecting Zhu Xinjue's face.

Xiang Beifei had no intention of trying to confront this ice armor head-on; he knew that if he touched it, his fists would be frozen, so he had to seize the moment when the ice armor momentarily delayed while protecting Zhu Xinjue's face and find a way to bypass its guard and strike Zhu Xinjue.

Whoosh!

He charged at Zhu Xinjue again, with his fists creating a whirlwind from different directions, all aiming at Zhu Xinjue.

However, Zhu Xinjue's cultivation was a whole major realm higher than his, so every time Xiang Beifei aimed to hit, the ice armor would appear in time.

An SR-level Meridian Opening Awakener is not like those desolate beasts such as the Triangular Thunder Krait; after being nearly caught off guard the first time, Zhu Xinjue had wised up, started changing his tactics, and left Xiang Beifei with no opportunity to capitalize on.

"You can't underestimate an SR-level Awakener!"

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but reflect inwardly, the difference between the later stages of Qi-Controlling and the early stages of Meridian Opening was simply too vast; even with Xiaohei's help, it was very hard to cause any harm to Zhu Xinjue. He had just stepped into the later stages of Qi-Controlling, and the gap in strength between them was indeed significant.

Zhu Xinjue, this fellow, could be said to be the most troublesome cultivator Xiang Beifei had ever faced thus far!

"What's the point in continuing this fight if you can't harm me?"

Zhu Xinjue was growing impatient, as Xiang Beifei was unable to get the better of him, yet he couldn't deal with Xiang Beifei either.

This made him very frustrated! Being a high-level practitioner in Meridian Opening and having difficulty dealing with a Qi-Controlling lay practitioner was nothing short of a colossal shame for him!

He soon scoffed and said, "If you think you can drag out a guerrilla war with me like this, then you're mistaken!"

Whoosh!

Zhu Xinjue didn't try anymore and swiftly leaped out, landing on an Extreme Ice Tiger. Standing on the tiger's back, he then swung the ice blade in his hand violently forward!

Crash!

The entire forest's temperature plummeted abruptly, followed by the sudden onset of a fierce blizzard!

The blizzard engulfed an area of several hundred meters around, with Xiang Beifei's position at its center, howling and swirling, encircling Xiang Beifei completely!

"This is my system space; here in my space, you'll play by my rules!"

Zhu Xinjue shouted loudly!

Under normal circumstances, his system space was maintained by completing missions and receiving rewards, but an SR-level system space was much more than that. Unlike the many worlds created by lower-level systems, for every world that he completed created by the system, he could control every aspect of it!

That meant, right now, anything on this desolate island could be manipulated according to his will, whether it was the weather, plants, trees, or temperature. He could nearly change them with just a thought!

He was the god of this desolate island's world!

This was the most overpowered aspect of the SR-level system. In the past, when Zhu Xinjue faced others, he would drag them into the space world he controlled. Even if they were SR-level Awakeners, lacking the home-field advantage in his world, they would be defeated by him!

Zhu Xinjue watched Xiang Beifei, who was surrounded by the blizzard, with a cold sneer and shouted, "Frozen World!"</
