When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 186 - 154: Club Points_2

Xiang Beifei thought for a moment and said, "Alright then."

Having three or four bouts a day wasn't really a big problem.

Ye Changfeng let out a relieved smile and said, "I know these past couple of days a lot of people have been watching you, and it might be hard for you even to get a little privacy. This sword is for you, the Ronin Sword. Channel your spiritual power into it, and it will make you blend into the crowd like a wandering swordsman, nameless and unrecognised, so basically no student can tell who you are."

Xiang Beifei's eyes lit up once more; he really needed this sword.

Ye Changfeng was an SR-level Awakener, with cultivation above the Meridian Opening stage, and his Ronin Sword certainly had the capacity to suppress all students. With this sword, he wouldn't have to worry about being watched, and moving around campus would be much more convenient.

"Thank you."

Xiang Beifei wasn't the type to put on airs, and naturally accepted the valuable offering.

He glanced again at Ye Changfeng's system and suddenly wondered, "Could this [Supremacy of Ten Thousand Swords System] provide tens of thousands of divine swords? Each sword possessing a unique ability?"

Such as Gan Jiang, Yu Chang, Xuanyuan?

That would be incredibly powerful!

It was a pity he still couldn't see the introduction to Ye Changfeng's system, which was somewhat regrettable.

He tossed the Ronin Sword to Xiaohei, who caught it and trampled over it, then lifted its head pridefully, indicating the sword was no problem.

——

When Xiang Beifei left Ye Changfeng's office, he channeled spiritual power into the Ronin Sword, and indeed, the students passing by automatically ignored him, seemingly unable to recognise him.

That saved him a lot of trouble.

He planned to visit the Liangzhou University Combat Arena that evening to quickly rack up a hundred points, which shouldn't be too difficult.

The combat arena of Liangzhou University was vast, as it was the place where student clubs sparred and competed. Many students would come to watch the matches in the evening to learn from others' experience.

Of course, there were tickets for the matches, and winners received prize money, earned from those tickets. The students gained insight, understanding of competitors, lessons from defeat, and winners got both money and points.

Xiang Beifei paid the fifty yuan entrance fee, thinking that such expenses were steep for an elite university, but a Qi-Controlling stage student could earn five hundred yuan for a win, along with two points, which was quite a bargain.

Although it was only the first day of school, the arena was already bustling with people. Many clubs had recruited newcomers in the afternoon. Although most needed training, most of the participants in the competitions were older students.

The combat arena was divided into the Meridian Opening Arena and the Qi-Controlling Arena, but most of those in the Meridian Opening stage had already graduated. Those who stayed for further study would usually go to outside wastelands to practice, so competitions at the Meridian Opening stage were rare, with only the Qi-Controlling stage being available in the evening.

Xiang Beifei reached the registration desk, where a male student named Du Liang, who possessed an [R-level Evaluation System], worked. He derived his tasks from assessing others' qualifications and seemed to be working here specifically for that purpose.

"Hi, I'm here to compete," said Xiang Beifei.

"In the name of an individual or a club?"

"A club."

Xiang Beifei handed the Leisure Clouds and Wild Cranes club badge to the evaluator, who efficiently arranged it on the computer, then frowned slightly and looked up to ask, "Not registered yet?"

"That's right," Xiang Beifei replied.

"Do you want to use your real name or a pseudonym?"

"You can use a pseudonym?"

"For the competitions, some people's abilities are tied to their systems. If you think revealing your ability will expose your system and affect future system tasks, you can use a pseudonym. If you don't have this concern, then use your real name," explained Du Liang.

"Then I'll use a pseudonym!" Xiang Beifei said.

"What name will you use?"

"Ronin."

"This nickname is already taken."

"..."

Xiang Beifei thought for a moment and said, "Xiaohei?"

"This nickname is already taken."

Xiaohei lifted its head: "???"

```

It bared its teeth and made a gesture: "Woof woof woof!" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Xiang Beifei thought of over a dozen names, and all of them were already taken!

It seemed like many students at Liangzhou University were accustomed to using aliases to participate in competitions, and over the years, countless names had been chosen.

"Is finding a name really that hard?" Xiang Beifei couldn't help but complain.

"This nickname is already in use."

Xiang Beifei: "..."

Someone's already using this?

"Idle Fish Sent Me to Patrol the Mountain."

Xiang Beifei, recommended by Elder Luo, the bigshot from the Leisure Fish Sect, simply decided to use this name.

"This nickname is available."

Du Liang entered Xiang Beifei's name into the badge, and Xiang Beifei paid a hundred yuan registration fee.

"Of course, challenging the current holder earns points faster. If you de-throne one, you get a point, and for every match you hold your position, you get another point. Successfully defend for five matches in one evening or if no one challenges you within an hour, you'll get an additional twenty points! However, whether defending or challenging, if you lose, ten points will be deducted. If you lose a random spar, only one point is deducted."

"Changing a name costs fifty points, so change it carefully. You can challenge the current holder or you can spar randomly, which do you choose?"

"Which earns points faster?"

"Of course, challenging the current holder earns points faster. If you de-throne one, you get a point, and for every match you hold your position, you get another point. Successfully defend for five matches in one evening or if no one challenges you within an hour, you'll get an additional twenty points! However, whether defending or challenging, if you lose, ten points will be deducted. If you lose a random spar, only one point is deducted."

By defeating the holder of a position and then defending it for five matches, you would earn twenty-six points! In other words, after six matches, if you won all six, you'd get twenty-six points, while for random spars, to get twenty-six points, you would need to fight thirteen matches.

Earning points through challenges is quicker, but it's also easy to lose points. The risks and opportunities coexist, and only those confident in their abilities dare to hold positions for others to challenge.

Random spars are more standard; win and gain two points, lose and it's one point, just slower-paced.

"I'll challenge then."

Xiang Beifei figured this way he would gain points faster.

Du Liang looked at Xiang Beifei with suspicion, but he didn't recognize him because he had used "Ronin Sword," making him unrecognizable.

"New registrants can only challenge, not hold positions. Newbies are protected for a week, so if they lose, their points won't go negative."

"Points can go negative?"

"Of course. Last semester, your Leisure Clouds and Wild Cranes Club's points were negative 256," Du Liang said.

That's pretty dire!

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but mutter.

It was no wonder Ye Changfeng had made a determined effort to reorganize the student club, even pulling him in to make a show of strength. If they didn't bring in a few strong fighters to win points, there was little hope of filling the gap.

Despite his suspicions, Du Liang didn't think too much of it and returned the badge to Xiang Beifei.

"Go inside and pick any spot. When it's your turn, your name will be called and the badge will remind you. Oh, and only those with over twenty points can hold a position; you're at zero, so you can only challenge others. There's no one holding a position tonight, so for now, you can't know who your opponent will be," Du Liang said.

"Let's do a random spar first then, and let me know when someone holds a position," Xiang Beifei said.

"Okay, all the rules of the combat arena are in the badge; you can check them there."

Despite his suspicions, Du Liang didn't think too much of it and returned the badge to Xiang Beifei.

"Thank you."

Xiang Beifei walked into the combat arena, which resembled the simulated training grounds from the initial school assessment, surrounded by a variety of spectators.

The arena had about ten big platforms. There, participants could only spar on the platform, and stepping off meant defeat. Some Awakeners had abilities to drag people into spaces created by their systems, but these platforms were special, showing even those dragged into system spaces still on the platform.

The crowd gradually grew larger, making the whole place boisterous, with roughly seven or eight hundred student spectators, some still awaiting entry while the competition had already begun.

Many competitors wore masks or used the system to protect their identities. No club names were displayed here, meaning even if you won a match and earned points for yourself and your club, the opponents wouldn't know which club you were from.

The points badge automatically recorded the score, updating the club points leaderboard once a month, not daily, to prevent people from guessing your club based on daily fights and to maximize privacy protection.

However, masked or not, made no real difference to Xiang Beifei, because he could just look at the opponent's system.
