When system cheat becomes rampant!

Hum!

The Elder Luo, who had just been at the initial stage of Meridian Opening, suddenly emanated an overwhelming aura!

As his spiritual power spread out, the entire building felt as if it were instantly flooded by surging waves, and everyone felt as though they had been plunged into the depths of the sea, with the waves assaulting them, nearly floating up!

This terrifying onslaught of spiritual power was even more fearsome than the storm crafted by the combined efforts of Fu Mingpu and He Caiwei just moments ago!

They couldn't withstand this horrendous impact of spiritual power!

Every person in the Archives Building was horrified, not to mention those in the God Refining stage like Mu Yiqing, even those at the orifice transforming stage, such as Su Yongfeng and other SSRs, began to tremble with fear.

They had rarely seen Luo Yunxian take action, and most of the high-level Awakeners here had only heard about his notorious reputation and did not know his true strength since he had retired six years ago. At that time, some of the people present were even still students.

It was only when they experienced this indistinguishable spiritual shock that they understood just how terrifying this old man was!

Even Fu Mingpu couldn't help but feel a secret alarm; he had to focus to avoid being affected by this wave of spiritual fluctuations, while He Caiwei on the other side clenched his teeth tightly, also a UR but unlike Fu Mingpu who could resist by focusing, He had to put forth all his strength!

This made him even more resentful. As a UR, it was bad enough that his authority couldn't match up to that of a former SR like Luo Yunxian, but now he found that he also couldn't surpass him in strength!

Xiang Beifei, who had been sitting calmly at the meeting, could no longer maintain his composure.

He even inhaled several breaths of cold air, thereby lowering the surrounding temperature by several degrees. Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire

"Master who pits his own disciple!"

He was on the verge of tears!

With his control over spiritual power and system abilities, hiding from URs like Fu Mingpu and He Caiwei was no problem, because they weren't strong in spiritual power. Therefore, they hadn't noticed the dead angle in the building.

But Elder Luo was a formidable cultivator of spiritual power, who even knew the dead angles where one could hide to avoid detection! Xiang Beifei had learned his spiritual power from him and knew exactly how to measure it.

Xiang Beifei could actually control Elder Luo's system to some extent, because Luo had been assigning him various leisure tasks, and many of Luo's system points had involved Beifei.

The issue was that Elder Luo's cultivation level was too terrifying; forcefully changing it was difficult, especially when he unleashed that spiritual shock — the system interface vanished and Beifei had no idea where to begin.

Nevertheless, Xiang Beifei quickly regained his composure.

During his cultivation, he had neglected no aspect, whether in terms of cultivation level or spiritual power, which he practiced daily. His proficiency in manipulating spiritual power had grown significantly and he was no longer the novice who had been easily tricked by Elder Luo into falling into a river and choking on water several months ago.

Now, even though he couldn't claim to surpass Elder Luo in spiritual power, he could at least protect himself.

"I've been learning for so long, it's time to see if I can graduate."

A glint of combativeness shone in Xiang Beifei's eyes!

He certainly had no chance of winning in a direct confrontation with Elder Luo, but if he could keep Luo unaware, it would mean that his spiritual power had reached a certain level of proficiency!

Wu Wen, who was already affected by this spiritual power, was in a state of panic; Xiang Beifei placed his hand on him while Xiaohei quickly enveloped them both, shielding them securely.

Let the waves rage outside, he stood Immovable as a Mountain!

As Elder Luo's spiritual shock approached, Xiang Beifei's spiritual power surged out nimbly, rippling along with the tide of Luo's spiritual power.

The function of spiritual power in detecting invisible people is simple; it spreads out and if it encounters a target, it will be obstructed. If this obstruction isn't cleared, it will disrupt the flow of spiritual power and send feedback to Elder Luo, signaling him that there's a person at that spot.

But as Xiang Beifei's spiritual power encountered Elder Luo's, it cleverly reversed back, then quickly covered Elder Luo's spiritual power, erasing the feedback it produced!

This technique was combined with Professor Guo's Rebound Force.

Professor Guo's Rebound Force could reflect any attack, but he had never taught Xiang Beifei to counteract spiritual power, as it was an intangible form of attack. Even though Guo had learned Elder Luo's Cultivation Technique for spiritual power, his proficiency wasn't high.

Xiang Beifei's strength was inherited from these two men, so in an instant, he thought of using the rebound method to execute his spiritual power.

Just as the resistance generated by Elder Luo's spiritual power on Xiang Beifei was about to feedback to Luo, Beifei quickly used "Rebound" to send that "feedback" springing back!

Two counterattacks, a double negative,

amounted to no feedback.

Xiang Beifei's spiritual power was learned from Elder Luo, so he knew precisely the state of Luo's spiritual fluctuations. As long as he could grasp this state, with "Learn by Analogy," he could adeptly disguise the vibrations of his spiritual power, making it seem like those vibrations were part of Luo's spiritual state!

This way, when Elder Luo's spiritual shock came, it met resistance on Beifei and was forcibly assimilated by Beifei's spiritual power, then passed on as though it was moving through emptiness, thus achieving the goal of remaining undetected by Luo!

Hum! Hum! Hum!

Wave upon wave of invisible vibrations swept over Xiang Beifei, Elder Luo's spiritual power was furious and unstoppable, like a raging beast, crashing down on Beifei.

Beifei dared not be careless; this was an extremely frightening assault, and any slip might expose him!

After stepping into the middle stage of Meridian Opening, his mastery over spiritual power also rose a notch, enabling him to weather wave after wave of impact!

Whoosh!

Elder Luo's spiritual power roared robustly, irresistible, as if inciting towering waves within the building, while Xiang Beifei's spiritual power seemed like a rock desperately surviving within the tempest, resisting the terrifying waves.

One was searching with an air of nonchalance, while the other was pushing to his limit to disguise himself.

What should have been a routine meeting was now a showdown of spiritual power between master and apprentice, between Elder Luo and Xiang Beifei!

Hum!

Ten seconds later, Elder Luo's spiritual power finally shifted away from Xiang Beifei, and since he didn't discover Xiang Beifei's trace, turned towards other places.

But it was only ten seconds, which, to Xiang Beifei, felt like he had been battling for ten hours, so exhausting that he nearly vomited blood!

"Fortunately, I fooled him!"

Xiang Beifei breathed a huge sigh of relief!

He quickly took out some sunflower seeds and started stuffing them into his mouth.

Unexpectedly, the method he devised in a moment of desperation had actually managed to fool a psychic powerhouse like Elder Luo!

It seemed his arduous cultivation over this period had not been in vain; there had been some results, at least.

With a slight smile, Xiang Beifei felt a sense of accomplishment for being able to evade Elder Luo's spiritual power, which hinted that his recent cultivation was barely up to scratch.

——

Elder Luo had merely tried a casual psychic search to see who had caused such a commotion tonight.

He soon found six blind spots in the building that could not be detected by searching with spiritual power, and could only be detected by strong psychic force. Even a System Awakener well-versed in psychic force might not be able to notice them.

So, he searched all six blind spots, including the one where Xiang Beifei was hiding, but found nothing.

"Strange, no one's here."

Elder Luo pondered for a moment, prepared to withdraw his psychic force, and glanced at his system interface to redistribute the system points.

However, just then, he paused, as he seemed to notice something off about his psychic force!

He couldn't pinpoint what was wrong, but it was certainly odd!

Then he realized something!

The little rascal!

Three black lines formed on his forehead!

Hum!

Elder Luo's psychic force came back around, targeting Xiang Beifei once more!

Xiang Beifei, still quite pleased with himself for having evaded Elder Luo's psychic probe, was caught off guard—

Smack!

Elder Luo's psychic force took the form of an invisible large hand and fiercely flicked Xiang Beifei's forehead!

"Ow!"

Xiang Beifei touched his head in pain, then rolled his eyes.

He had been discovered!

"I thought I managed to fool him, how was I found out?"

He felt a bit regretful, thinking just moments ago he had been practicing adequately, but now he was deemed not good enough.

Still, he didn't quite understand and reviewed his response: using the force of the backlash to reinforce his psychic force, he had assimilated Elder Luo's psychic fluctuations and evaded his perception. Everything seemed normal, apparently without any slip-up, so why did Elder Luo suddenly make a comeback?

He was utterly baffled.

Fortunately, being discovered by Elder Luo wasn't a big deal; it just meant he would get a telling-off later, as Elder Luo wouldn't really sell him out.

Elder Luo quickly directed his psychic force elsewhere, pretending he hadn't noticed Xiang Beifei, until he had searched every last corner.

About a minute later, that terrifying wave of psychic force finally vanished.

Only then did the high-level awakeners, the SRs and SSRs in the hall, slowly come to their senses, and they quickly realized that the scene before them was somewhat amiss.

All the S and SR-rank God Refining awakeners were desperately clinging to railings, table legs, and anything else they could hold onto, and some were even hanging from the chandeliers on the wall. Everyone looked breathless as if they had battled fierce winds and waves, and some were still maintaining swimming postures, trying to keep their form in an illusion.

The other SSRs, though not as disheveled, were also drenched in sweat, having been scattered all over the place while combating the psychic force. Even Su Yongfeng, who was relatively strong, was tightly grasping the chair beneath him, having indented the steel chair's legs with his grip.

Mu Yiqing had retreated to the corner of the wall long ago, leaning tightly against it and panting with shock. Although she was articulate, her eloquence was of no use against such a level of psychic force.

The only ones who could keep their composure were probably only Fu Mingpu, Sun Heshun, and He Caiwei.

In reality, it was just Fu Mingpu and Sun Heshun, because He Caiwei had been given special attention by Elder Luo, and now he was gripping his suit tightly, his originally neat and tidy suit now crumpled and wrinkled.

It could be said that Elder Luo's casual psychic attack had made it so nobody in the entire building could maintain their calm; nearly everyone had been displaced from their original standing spots!

People exchanged glances, their eyes filled with astonishment as they looked at Elder Luo!

"Didn't find anyone."

Elder Luo spread his hands with a hint of regret.
