When system cheat becomes rampant!

"Ma Ziqian, didn't you all agree not to laugh!" Xi Keyao said, covering her face in embarrassment.

"We've had professional training; no matter how funny it is, we won't laugh unless we can't help it...hahaha..." Ma Ziqian said while laughing.

Xi Keyao kept her face covered, sneaking peeks at Xiang Beifei through the gaps between her fingers and noticing that Xiang Beifei was also smiling slightly, which made her face turn even redder.

"Xiang Beifei is laughing too," she said, annoyed.

"You look quite cute like this," Xiang Beifei said.

Xi Keyao blinked, paused, and asked doubtfully, "Really?"

"Mhm," Xiang Beifei replied.

—He thinks I'm cute!

Xi Keyao happily lowered her hands, seemingly less concerned about her mosquito-coil face.

"Speaking of which, is this from a severe poisoning?" Long Guocheng exclaimed in surprise.

Because the toxin from the desolate beast with the colorful face didn't produce black patches, just seven colors.

"You must have eaten the egg drop soup from the cafeteria this morning. That egg came from a mosquito-coil spider, and just a trace of the toxin in your body triggered the reaction,"

Ye Changfeng pinpointed the source, then carefully determined the amount of toxins remaining in Xi Keyao's body, deducting seven points from her score.

The final course assessment was "Recognition and Dissection of Desolate Beasts."

It's a mandatory course that studies various knowledge about desolate beasts, requiring every martial artist to dissect and learn how various organs like fangs, venom sacs, and corrosive fluids function and how they enable the use of various abilities.

For example, the Triangular Thunder Krait, the study focuses on why it can shoot lightning from its eyes. It has an organ called an "electric sac" connected to the eyes. This course teaches the structure of the electric sac and how to remove it and attach it to a device, allowing everyone to wield the lightning power of the Triangular Thunder Krait, turning them into an Electro Knight!

Of course, if you want to study the specific modification techniques, you'll need to take an elective course related to System Dark Technology.

Xiang Beifei's understanding of desolate beasts was essentially unmatched; he had killed more desolate beasts thus far than the total number all his classmates combined had killed.

"For this course's final assessment, I will test you on the dissection of a Claw-tailed Monkey. I don't expect you to be able to transplant the tail of a Claw-tailed Monkey onto a Three Souls Desolate Snake and have it still move; you just need to completely remove the tail of the Claw-tailed Monkey, then stimulate its nerves with a needle to make it grab a stick,"

at the end of the last class, Xu Yang announced the content of the assessment to the whole class.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief!

This assessment was relatively easy compared to others. The Claw-tailed Monkey had very strong attacking abilities, but the desolate beast did not need them to kill it as it was already dead. They just had to sever the tail and then wrap the dissecting needle with spiritual power to simulate controlling the monkey's tail to pass the assessment.

Anyone who glanced at the book a little and could cultivate spiritual power could pass. Not to mention grabbing a stick; even making the tail form a heart shape was possible.

Xu Yang was probably the teacher most liked by the students because his course assessments were very easy; he even marked the key points, and everyone left the dissection room overjoyed.

"Nicely done,"

as Xiang Beifei was packing up the dissection tools and preparing to leave the classroom, Xu Yang came over and said to Xiang Beifei with a smile.

"Thank you," Xiang Beifei said as he cleaned the dissecting tools, putting them all back in their places.

"But I thought you would do even better, like being able to move the tail without touching it with the dissecting needle," Xu Yang said with a smile on his face.

"I just followed the teacher's instructions," Xiang Beifei said politely.

"That's true; you still performed perfectly compared to everyone else. I'll give you full marks for this course!" Xu Yang said, giving a thumbs up in appreciation.

"Thank you."

"By the way, you're now in the Meridian Opening phase, are you planning to apply for graduation next semester?"

At the Martial Arts College, the graduation requirements are defined, with R-grade students needing to reach an advanced phase of Qi-Controlling, and S-grade students needing to reach the Meridian Opening phase. Most students spend three to four years in this process.

But as an N-level Xiang Beifei, it only took half a semester.

"I don't have plans to graduate yet," Xiang Beifei said.

"You are the most talented student I have seen apart from SSR-level ones. Actually, there's little need for you to attend classes with other students. Perhaps you can consider applying for a graduation assessment next semester and then work as a teaching assistant at the school. I think many professors would definitely vie for you," Xu Yang said with a smile.

Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment and said, "I'll consider it. Honestly, I'm very interested in desolate beasts and always think of studying them. I feel that as long as the ability is well utilized, even the weakest desolate beast can defeat higher-level desolate beasts."

"That's the principle," Xu Yang nodded slightly.

The abilities of desolate beasts, like System Awakeners, always counteract each other. As long as their weaknesses are targeted, they can generally be killed with one strike.

"Teacher, you know more about desolate beasts than anyone else. If I want to pursue a career in Desolate Beast Studies, how should I choose the direction of my studies next?" Xiang Beifei asked.

A flicker of surprise appeared in Xu Yang's eyes: "You want to pursue a career in Desolate Beast Studies? I thought you would be a pioneer like your father."

"Even as a pioneer, one needs to master Desolate Beast Studies first because pioneers have to deal with desolate beasts in the outer wastelands, as you've mentioned in your lectures, haven't you? I feel I still have a lot to learn, and I don't want to blindly engage in the career of a pioneer before I'm fully prepared. That's being responsible for myself," Xiang Beifei said.

"Indeed, you have considered it thoroughly," Xu Yang said.

Xu Yang agreed with Xiang Beifei's statement and after a moment, he continued, "Because students' talents differ, the school has to consider the learning ability of most students, so the knowledge taught is too broad, and many topics are only superficially covered, broad but not deep. To specialize, one must intern at a dedicated research institution. If you are interested, I suggest you find an opportunity next semester to intern at a Desolate Beast research company."

Xiang Beifei suddenly realized: "Is that so? Then, teacher, could you recommend an internship company?"

"That's not a problem. I may not claim expertise in other areas, but I do have some capability in the field of Desolate Beast Studies. I've previously worked at a Desolate Beast research company. If you are willing, I can try to contact them for you?" Xu Yang said.

"That would be great, thank you, teacher," Xiang Beifei said.

"No need for thanks, I should do what I can. Now you should go back and prepare for the exams of other subjects!" Xu Yang said.

After organizing all the anatomical tools, Xiang Beifei left the classroom.

Xu Yang waited until Xiang Beifei left the teaching building before he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"What's up?" a deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

"He plans to find an internship with a Desolate Beast research company next semester," Xu Yang simply relayed Xiang Beifei's original words.

There was silence on the other end for a moment before he said, "Understood, it's an opportunity. I will arrange it well."

Xu Yang didn't converse much with the person on the other end. He soon hung up the phone and then stared at the exam dissection table used by Xiang Beifei, lost in thought.

"The next steps should be much easier now," Xu Yang murmured to himself.

What he didn't see was a little white dog crouching in front of him, baring its teeth.

—

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Xiaohei danced around in front of Xiang Beifei, trying to convey the news he had gathered.

Xiang Beifei sat by the flower bed, listening to Xiaohei's description, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Woof?" Xiaohei asked.

"No need, you've been tracking him for so many days and haven't found out much; he's too cautious. We'll talk again next semester," Xiang Beifei said.

Xiaohei was now his super spy. Though lacking in combat strength, his invisibility to others was a significant advantage.

Skilled in ambush, eavesdropping, and even fetching deliveries.

Unfortunately, Xu Yang was very cautious. He hardly showed any slip-ups at school, merely teaching and studying desolate beasts, doing his job without any contact with his backers. Xiaohei had tracked him for days without uncovering anything.

It would have to be one step at a time.
