When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 552 - 414 Cultivation

Chapter 552: Chapter 414 Cultivation

Xiang Beifei stared at the Wooden Kirin. This creature represented brainlessness, sadly it was genuinely foolish and not feigning stupidity.

The Wooden Kirin, originally huffing and puffing, became alert and raised its tail defensively when it saw Xiang Beifei looking at it, growling softly twice.

“Mr. Xiang, words cannot express how much I owe you. If there’s ever anything I can assist you with, just say the word, and I will make it happen!”

Shen Zhenrong didn’t know what Xiang Beifei was thinking. He simply looked at the young man before him with eyes full of reverence, inwardly admiring such genius.

“No need. It was a mere trifle,” Xiang Beifei said nonchalantly.

Shen Tongtong whispered, “Senior Xiang is so amazing. I wish I could be as powerful as Senior Xiang someday.”

“You are at the SR level. Just keep training, and you definitely will,” Xiang Beifei said.

Shen Tongtong nodded vigorously.

——He’s so handsome, and kind too. His voice is also very nice to listen to.

Meanwhile, Shen Tongtong couldn’t help but think to herself.

She had always been covertly watching Xiang Beifei, her eyes filled with curiosity and excitement. She had fantasized many times about meeting Xiang Beifei in person, but she had never imagined it would be under these circumstances.

In an era where everyone made choices, she was no exception. As an experienced chooser, she even knew things like Xiang Beifei’s height and weight, his usual habits in the cafeteria, what his temperament was like… she knew them by heart!

Imaginations about Xiang Beifei uncontrollably filled Shen Tongtong’s mind.

“Let’s go. We’ll talk more when we get back,” Xiang Beifei said.

“Oh, right!” Shen Tongtong only then reacted, her face becoming slightly red.

Xiang Beifei took them both into the air and then shouted to the Wooden Kirin, still huffing and puffing nearby, “Hurry up and make grass grow here to cover the tracks.”

Hua Jiuyue and Gao Zhuo had been dealt with, and soon, members of the Unrestrained might come here. At present, the Unrestrained were still collecting information on Xiang Beifei. He had to ensure the clean-up was thorough.

He had originally planned to use “Return to the Original State” to restore the area, but activating Return to the Original State required a lot of energy, and the aftermath of the battle was too widespread; it would be too laborious.

He had only reverted the epicenter of the battle to its original state; the rest was up to the Wooden Kirin to control.

The Wooden Kirin reluctantly controlled the trees and restored them, quickly turning the area back into a lush forest. Due to the peculiar nature of the exotic wilderness, the environment had strong regenerative capabilities and would return to its original state in just a few days.

Xiang Beifei took the two to Liangzhou University and handed Gao Zhuo over to Elder Luo. As a person in charge within the Su Alliance, Elder Luo took the matter very seriously.

After all, the incident with the SR-level freshmen during the newcomers’ competition had caused a stir in Jiuzhou, and now that one had returned, the situation naturally required thorough investigation.

“This Gao Zhuo, would Elder Luo’s interrogation skills work on him? Or any other similar abilities that compel the truth?” Xiang Beifei asked.

Elder Luo was a versatile person who could enhance his abilities in certain aspects by accruing points, which included skills such as Mind Reading Technique and hypnosis, among others.

“I’ve tried, to no avail,” Elder Luo said, shaking his head slightly.

The Unrestrained’s measures for keeping secrets were obviously formidable; they had anticipated this. Otherwise, Elder Luo would have extracted the information from a captive member of the Unrestrained long ago.

“That’s going to be troublesome,” Xiang Beifei commented.

He hadn’t found any useful system logs on Gao Zhuo’s system because Gao Zhuo’s system was the “Unparalleled Chess Player System”, which only allowed him to get stronger by playing chess. The missions were also related to chess, leaving no chance to reveal his recent whereabouts.

“Anyway, I’ll involve Sun Heshun in continuing the investigation of this matter,” Elder Luo said as he kicked Gao Zhuo, who was lying motionless with golden patterns flickering all over his body, and then asked, “Your doing?”

“Yes, I immobilized him. Right, his heart should contain a Beast Pill, which is the reason for his strength. You might try to open up his heart and take out the Beast Pill, then examine his cultivation level. I suspect that all of the Unrestrained might have such hearts,” Xiang Beifei said. He always felt that the Unrestrained’s people had grown formidable because of the Beast Pill in their hearts, and he needed confirmation.

“It’s like that? Let’s go dissect him,” said Elder Luo, without any hesitation, promptly carrying Gao Zhuo to the university’s desolate beast dissection room.

This classroom was originally designed for dissecting various desolate beasts, equipped with all kinds of dissection tools. Of course, this was probably the first time it was being used to dissect a living person.

[Medical Mastery: 9999]

Elder Luo quickly applied all his knowledge about dissection into his accrual of points.

“What if he doesn’t survive because the heart gets damaged?” Xiang Beifei asked.

Putting on a mask and picking up a shiny scalpel, Elder Luo said, “I’ll just make a simple incision, remove the Beast Pill quickly, and do you have healing abilities? After I remove it, you can heal it quickly.”

“I can do that, but what if there are problems with the heart after the Beast Pill is removed?” Xiang Beifei asked.

Without a second thought, Elder Luo replied, “Then we’ll take a cultivated pig’s heart from over there for a transplant.”

Opening the chest, expanding the rib cage… Elder Luo skillfully cut into Gao Zhuo. With his abilities, he didn’t even bother taking X-rays or using an MRI; instead, he relied on his enhanced abilities, coupled with his spiritual power, to handle all the preparatory work for surgery on his own.

Anesthesia was unnecessary; Elder Luo could use his formidable spiritual power to influence Gao Zhuo’s cognition, making him forget what pain felt like.

After making the incision and reaching Gao Zhuo’s heart, which was still beating inside the opened chest, Xiang Beifei assisted in stopping the bleeding. Elder Luo let out a light exclamation, “This heart is larger than that of a normal person.”

“It is overly large. That’s why I’m very curious; it seems like it has been stretched, or rather its potential prematurely overdrawn,” Xiang Beifei responded. He had seen many such deformed hearts; just a few hours before, he had crushed one.

“The lifespan of this heart has been greatly shortened. They must have been relying on a Beast Pill as an energy support, but something feels off. Why does it feel strange?” Elder Luo held a pair of tweezers and was searching through Gao Zhuo’s chest cavity.

Soon, he suddenly raised his head, looking very surprised.

“What’s wrong?” Xiang Beifei asked.

“Take a look at this.”

Elder Luo pointed to where the heart connected to the blood vessels for Xiang Beifei to see. Among those dense blood vessels, there was a hint of tiny white strands swirling around.

It was like white spider silk, clinging to the walls of the blood vessels, not yet fully spread out.

“This aura, it’s not that…” Xiang Beifei was also surprised.

“Did you sense something?” Elder Luo asked.

Xiang Beifei took a scalpel and gently cut one of the blood vessels. The blood quickly flowed out, but Xiang Beifei used his Spiritual Power to seal the wound. Then, he slowly peeled the blood vessel apart, and immediately—

Whoosh!

The white strands retracted quickly, withdrawing back into the heart.

“This thing seems familiar. I don’t know where I’ve seen it before,” Xiang Beifei said.

“First, take down the Beast Pill.”

Elder Luo immediately made an incision in the heart, revealing a white Beast Pill inside. The moment he cut into the Beast Pill, it was clear that the white strands were withdrawing into it.

He swiftly acted, plucking the white Beast Pill out!

However, at that moment, Gao Zhuo’s blood suddenly stopped flowing, and his body’s vitality swiftly began to fade away.

“Beep—”

The instrument detecting life fluctuations started to alarm.

“It seems his life force is ebbing away!”

“It’s the Beast Pill! He was bound to the Beast Pill, without it he’ll die. Put it back!”

Elder Luo made a decisive call!

Hum!

Elder Luo immediately reopened the heart and stuffed the Beast Pill back into Gao Zhuo’s heart, while Xiang Beifei quickly used the technique Revert to Simplicity to heal the incision.

Gao Zhuo’s body then stabilized, the signs of his life force ebbing stopped.

Elder Luo could only resew the heart’s incision, frowning as he said, “He’s a student from Jizhou University; he can’t die yet.”

No matter how Gao Zhuo got involved with Unrestrained, he was now the key to finding the other missing students, and it was necessary to see if more crucial information could be obtained from him.

“At least one thing is certain,” Xiang Beifei said thoughtfully.

“What’s that?”

“He indeed became stronger because of the Beast Pill.”

Xiang Beifei had been paying attention to Gao Zhuo’s system interface; the instant the Beast Pill was removed, Gao Zhuo’s system information had changed:

[Realm: Late Qi-Controlling]

Now, his system information had reverted back to: Mid God Refining!

“Is it possible that the other missing students have also become one of the Unrestrained?” Elder Luo asked.

“First, we’ll have to locate Unrestrained’s stronghold,” Xiang Beifei planned to investigate Unrestrained’s research base.

Because he must find Zi Hou!

Elder Luo checked Gao Zhuo again but was still unable to find more clues, so for the time being, Gao Zhuo was locked up. Afterwards, two Su People were dispatched to covertly protect Shen Zhenrong and the others, to prevent Unrestrained from making another move on them.

Now that Elder Luo had taken over the Su Alliance, it meant that they had the conditions to investigate Unrestrained. With the power of the Su People, the task would be much easier.

The Su Alliance itself was quite fragmented. Under Zhu Yiji’s leadership, the alliance was hardly addressing real issues. He employed the Su People mainly to eliminate adversaries rather than to truly hunt Unrestrained.

Anyone who opposed him, Zhu Yiji would simply label “Unrestrained,” then deploy the Su People.

Elder Luo was currently reorganizing the power of the Su Alliance. Xiang Beifei had even released Eternal Sleep and Keshi, and forcibly branded their souls, ensuring they would be much more compliant.

Eternal Sleep and Keshi didn’t dare do much anyway; with Zhu Yiji gone, they were lucky to have their lives spared.

So, next, Xiang Beifei needed to deal with Zi Hou’s matter.

According to Elder Luo’s investigation, Zi Hou was very likely the core research base of the Wufu Desolate Beast Research Company. He must first find a way to infiltrate the company.

That means he would have to get a job there.
