When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Learning Plan

The incident at the shopping center didn't attract much attention, and everything was handled through standard procedures.

Xiang Beifei didn't concern himself with these matters, as they had nothing to do with him.

However, he was in a good mood.

Because Lu Hong said that once the procedures were completed, he would help him apply for the bounty. As the captain of the law enforcement team, Lu Hong was almost certain to handle it smoothly.

By the time he returned, it was already evening.

Walking on the road, the noisy crowd gave Xiang Beifei a feeling as if he were in a different world.

He had been in this world for less than a month, feeling both familiar and alien to everything.

In his previous world, he was just an orphan whose parents had died early, relying on relatives to get through school.

That world was not friendly to him.

Coming to this world hadn't improved his situation much either.

But at least he had found a relative here.

Everyone here carried their own system panel, bustling about for their system tasks.

Their goals were clear, whether they were for money or fame, or for strength or family, they all took their system tasks seriously.

The system had become the driving force of their lives.

Sometimes, Xiang Beifei would ponder.

In his previous world, where nobody had systems, what exactly was the difference from this one?

Back in that world, weren't the adults driven by car loans, mortgages, family, and the need to support parents and children, all reasons for everyone to rise early, sleep late, and squeeze onto buses to go to work and earn a living?

These burdens carried by adults were the tasks they had to accomplish in their lives.

In this system world, these life tasks had been systematized into system tasks.

Whether it was the previous world or this system world,

everyone had to advance towards their goals.

Essentially, there was no difference between the two worlds.

Of course, the people here possessed much stronger abilities.

Murder, destruction, battles... all were almost foreseeable.

The incident between Lu Hong and Chen Gang had given Xiang Beifei a deeper impression of this world.

Xiang Beifei was gradually adapting to the rhythm of this world.

Those at the bottom struggled to complete system tasks for their livelihood.

The powerful strove toward their own goals.

He too needed to find his own way to survive.

If he wanted to go further in the world of the system, he had to keep pace with this world.

——

When he got home, it was already dark. Xiang Beifei prepared dinner, but Xiang Qingde hadn't come home yet. He kept the food warm, then returned to his room.

He had received another system reward, which was the Thousand Faces Slash Moon finishing move collected by Chen Gang.

Although this finishing move was only aimed at Lu Hong, it possessed a Spiritual Power level equal to the early stage of Meridian Opening!

Each star constellation actually included one ability. The reason for lighting them up one by one was because the Spiritual Power required to use the abilities contained within each star constellation varied, so Xiang Beifei had to master them step by step, and couldn't bite off more than he could chew.

For example, one at the Qi-Controlling stage could only master abilities that could be executed at the Qi-Controlling stage.

As he progressed, the abilities brought by lighting up star constellations became more powerful, and the required realms to master them also became higher.

"Woof woof woof!"

Xiaohei gave a suggestion.

While at the Qi-Controlling stage, Xiang Beifei could light up four star constellations. So far, he had lit up two and acquired two abilities.

He had two more abilities to acquire, which would only be accessible at the middle and later stages of the Qi-Controlling level.

However, Chen Gang's "Thousand Faces Slash Moon" was a Spiritual Power crystal from the early stage of Meridian Opening, which could be saved for later use to light up a star constellation at the Meridian Opening stage, thus not wasting it.

"Okay, let's tentatively set it like this for now! But if we can't find a suitable replacement, we'll just have to use it."

Xiang Beifei agreed.

The clash between Lu Hong and Chen Gang tonight enlightened him greatly.

Only those in the Meridian Opening phase are truly powerful martial artists!

Normally, those in the Qi-Controlling phase could even be considered ordinary people, their combat abilities are clearly insufficient.

The Jiuzhou Alliance never lacks people in the Qi-Controlling phase; they can practically be found everywhere on the streets.

Even high school teachers are just in the late stages of Qi-Controlling.

Without stepping into the Meridian Opening phase, one simply cannot access true martial arts.

In tonight's battle, Xiang Beifei couldn't intervene. At a critical moment, he relied on breath soil to save Lu Hong's life, but that was all he could do.

Luckily, the breath soil possessed an indestructible defensive capability, able to block Chen Gang's attacks.

But if Chen Gang's attacks had targeted Xiang Beifei, even with breath soil, he would have had a hard time avoiding them, and might not have even survived.

Breath soil can only be said to be indestructible, but that doesn't mean it can dissipate that powerful force.

Chen Gang's attack hitting the breath soil, the reverberations would still transmit through it to the body.

Lu Hong's physical condition could withstand those reverberations because he was a master of the Meridian Opening phase, but Xiang Beifei definitely could not.

This made him realize the necessity of improving his combat abilities and physical condition.

Reflecting on the blazing fist Lu Hong displayed tonight, its explosive force left a deep impression on him. Every punch Lu Hong threw almost seemed to spin the air current, as if igniting the air itself.

"The fire can burn on the fists; this must be a cultivation technique given by Uncle Lu's system, Xiaohei, can I learn such a thing?" Xiang Beifei inquired.

"Woof woof woof!"

Xiaohei rolled over plumply on the bed.

"Oh, I see!"

Xiang Beifei nodded thoughtfully.

Any cultivation technique gifted by the system actually relies on one's own spiritual power to manifest.

Xiaohei can turn system rewards obtained from others into spiritual power crystals because fundamentally, all systems aim to transform spiritual power into something absorbable by the body.

And spiritual power is present in all cultivators' bodies; it is their source of power.

What Xiaohei meant was, as long as the method is right, he could also use his own spiritual power to execute those abilities.

This ability could be learned through "Learn by Analogy," but the premise is that he first needs to grasp one thing, then he can quickly master other variations of it.

That means, if he could learn Lu Hong's flame fist, next time he would be able to learn any technique involving the use of fire, not just limited to the flame fist.

He could learn flame palm, flame foot, flame leg, sparking all around, fire three feet high, fire at one's heels, fire under one's butt.

Just thinking about it is exhilarating!

Xiang Beifei tried throwing a punch into the air.

Aside from the whooshing sound of the air, no fire was generated.

"I need to ask Uncle Lu for guidance; I wonder if he would be willing to teach me."

Xiang Beifei pondered.

The next day, he eagerly called Lu Hong to express his intentions.

"You want to learn martial arts from me?"

Lu Hong seemed very surprised.

"Yes, I just awakened my system and want to learn techniques related to combat," said Xiang Beifei.

"Sure, if you want to learn, I naturally won't be stingy, but be prepared mentally; learning martial arts requires great determination and the spirit to endure hardships. It's definitely not something you can master overnight."

Lu Hong agreed readily. There was no way he could refuse the son of Xiang Tianxing wanting to learn martial arts from him.

"I understand," Xiang Beifei was aware of these things.

"Then come find me after class. I work night shifts, and if I'm not out on a call, I can teach you," Lu Hong said.
