When system cheat becomes rampant!

Ye Changfeng looked at Xiang Beifei and said, "I originally thought you were just a Body Cultivator, but it was Elder Luo who made me realize that you're not that simple. You have a strong adaptability to the outer desolate lands. No one has ever killed as many desolate beasts on their first journey there as you did."

Even though Ye Changfeng considered the Triangular Thunder Krait a weak desolate beast, it was still very powerful for most new students.

Xiang Beifei was simply lost in thought.

Thinking Xiang Beifei might be having second thoughts, Ye Changfeng quickly said, "You've already made a promise to Elder Luo, and as I am Elder Luo's apprentice, we are kind of like brothers in some sense. There was a time when I was the main force of the club, but now that I've become a teacher, it's your turn to step up as the main force. This is a sort of legacy."

After a pause, he added, "Not to mention, your father was also part of this club back in the day. You can't just watch as the club falls into decline, can you? Think of this as helping me with a small favor. The conditions are up to you! I won't hide the fact that I really need the title of associate professor."

Ye Changfeng was almost begging Xiang Beifei for the sake of the club.

It was strange to think about it, but when Ye Changfeng first entered the university, he visited Xiang Beifei's home. At the time, he wondered if Xiang Beifei would ask for his help with enrollment issues, but Xiang Beifei did not.

Now, the roles were reversed, and it was he who needed Xiang Beifei's help.

"What about the teams you plan to form for the club?"

Helping Ye Changfeng wasn't a problem for Xiang Beifei. Elder Luo had also stressed the importance of student points to him. The points he earned belonged not only to himself but also added to the club's tally, so joining wasn't a big deal after all.

"I plan to form two teams, a reserve team and a combat team with powers at the Qi-Controlling and Meridian Opening stages respectively. The number of members in each team will depend on the circumstances," explained Ye Changfeng.

"So, I would be in the reserve team?"

"No, you'll be in the combat team," Ye Changfeng stated calmly. "The reserve team can usually only train in simulation classes and duel at the Liangzhou University Combat Arena. The combat team, on the other hand, needs to train in the real outer desolate lands. The simulation classes are absolutely useless to you; you need real outdoor training."

"You do realize I'm only at the Qi-Controlling stage, right?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"Do you want me to be honest?"

Ye Changfeng gave Xiang Beifei a meaningful look and said, "Many of the high-ranking leaders at the school believe it was a mistake to admit you. Because of you, two SSR freshmen refused to come here this year, and they are quite critical of you. But I know you're not that simple."

Xiang Beifei raised an eyebrow.

"Elder Luo has faith in you, and that's enough for me. He is never wrong about these things. If Elder Luo believes in you, I believe in you too," said Ye Changfeng.

Xiang Beifei didn't know what to say. Ye Changfeng was one of Elder Luo's former students and knew his father. There wasn't much more for him to add.

"You'll need to take on missions to earn points for the club. I was away at the Jiuzhou Alliance acting as a consultant and didn't come back for a whole year, which resulted in the club falling apart, with members dropping out. We need to regroup and revitalize," Ye Changfeng revealed.

"Where do the club's missions come from?" asked Xiang Beifei.

"Many teachers release missions. For example, the anatomy class teachers may need certain desolate beasts as teaching models, or the black tech research department might need venom from a desolate beast or fur, teeth... Of course, if a student needs a certain desolate beast for a system mission, they can also post it. Anyone from the school can release a mission."

"Why do I feel like joining a club seems so troublesome?" Xiang Beifei muttered.

Seeing that Xiang Beifei was not very enthusiastic, Ye Changfeng hurriedly continued, "The reserve team can only participate in sparring against other clubs to earn points. However, the combat team can face various life and death situations. Besides earning money and points, you can also convert points into academic credits more quickly. By combat, you can improve your cultivation and strength faster, accumulating experience for future employment. After all, a lot of it depends on your school experience when you're applying for jobs..."

Money!

Xiang Beifei's eyes suddenly lit up. "Okay, no problem!"

Ye Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief when Xiang Beifei agreed, thinking that his line about "improving cultivation and strength" must have swayed him.

The promise of self-improvement had quickly secured the young man's agreement.

Young men indeed have spirited ambition!

Ye Changfeng added, "Currently, our club has three Meridian Opening stage members. They are continuing education students. I'll also need to recruit from the continuing education class. As for picking the reserve team members, that will be from the new students, and I'll contact you later."

Continuing education students were those who had met graduation criteria but were not satisfied with their strength and wanted to continue their studies. There were quite a few of these students.

"Okay," Xiang Beifei simply replied.

"Every evening in the Combat Arena, there are sparring matches between clubs, either one-on-one or group battles. Starting today, you will participate in several bouts each night to build up our club's points," instructed Ye Changfeng.

"Do I really have to participate in these fights?" Xiang Beifei asked.

Rubbing his forehead, Ye Changfeng replied, "Students wishing to venture into the outer desolate lands have to meet one assessment criterion, which is their score in the Combat Arena. You're currently not allowed to go to the outer desolate lands. Win fifty matches first! You need a hundred points to meet this criterion."

"..."

"It should be easy for you. Just participate in three or four matches a night. No one at the Qi-Controlling stage is a match for you. The Leisure Clouds and Wild Cranes Club's ranking is so dismal it's unbearable to watch. You'll help us climb a bit."
