Chapter 181: 152 Chapter: Flattery
Xu Yang's expression seemed a bit uneasy; he did indeed have his own secrets, some matters requiring discretion. Yet as Xiang Beifei asked the question, it amounted to probing his background in public.
What was most troublesome was that Xiang Beifei had almost guessed his system type.
But he quickly regained his composure and smiled, saying, "It's not that a system related to desolate beasts is required to deal with them. Just because you can handle a Triangular Thunder Krait, I can't say your awakened system is specialized in desolate beasts, right?"
Many people, like Elder Luo and Ye Changfeng, could master the subject even if their systems weren't of the desolate beast type, teaching the course on desolate beasts presented no problem.
Xiang Beifei knew this as well, but he still said earnestly, "I'm a Body Cultivation practitioner; I killed the Triangular Thunder Krait with brute force. What did you use to kill it, Teacher? Your ability is far superior to mine; it's a teaching exemplar. If one can prevail with wisdom, there's surely no need for physical confrontation, right? Could you please explain it to us in detail? We're bound to benefit greatly in the future."
His tone was very sincere.
The classroom fell silent. With Xiang Beifei steering the conversation in this direction, it no longer seemed important how Xiang Beifei killed the Triangular Thunder Krait—the focus was on how the teacher did it.
Xu Yang pondered for a moment and then said, "I relied on the Spiritual Power of the Meridian Opening phase to forcefully shatter the brain of the Triangular Thunder Krait."
"That's very impressive, Teacher. Your Spiritual Power can shatter the krait's brain without destroying its Scale Armor; today, you should dissect this Triangular Thunder Krait for us, so later we can learn exactly how you damaged its brain," said Xiang Beifei.
Xu Yang replied, "The dissection will certainly take place, but that's next week's lesson. In this class, you need to learn various types of knowledge first, get a firm grasp on the basics, to better understand."
"Understood, then I have no further questions."

Xiang Beifei did not press any further with aggressive questioning, appropriately heading back to his seat.
After all, the other party was a university teacher in the Meridian Opening phase; such matters had to be delicately handled—pushing too hard would be inappropriate.
He didn't necessarily want the classmates to know what Xu Yang's system was. After all, whatever Xu Yang's system was, it didn't have much to do with them, and new students could hardly interfere with Xu Yang completing his system tasks.
Xiang Beifei did this purely to make Xu Yang lose his footing, waiting to see if he would reveal any flaw.
Seeing Xiang Beifei not continue with his questions, Xu Yang let out a small sigh of relief.
"That's good; I thought he discovered something."
Xu Yang wiped the sweat from his brow, thinking, "But this kid's questions are surprisingly incisive. Someone who can score first place in the college entrance exam with raw points is indeed not simple. Looks like I'll have to find a way to actually shatter the brain of this Triangular Thunder Krait, or else during next week's dissection lesson, I might not be able to hide it, and he might come up with some strange questions again."
He steadied his nerves, stored the huge corpse of the Triangular Thunder Krait, and then began the actual lesson.
After class, Xiang Beifei watched as Xu Yang left the classroom, and then he stood up.
He needed to ask Elder Luo what the deal was with this teacher Xu Yang, to make sure he hadn't been sent originally to spy on him.
In the hallway, many students were watching Xiang Beifei. All along the way, the newcomers were whispering about him, and it seemed even the returning students were observing him.
Many students now knew he was a practitioner of Body Cultivation; they dared not confront him directly, but knowing this made some consider side schemes.
No one dared to trouble him outright, but that didn't mean they couldn't use a N-level newcomer like him for their system tasks.
"Hello, my name is Du Feihang, a second-year student. I was very impressed by your performance the other day, and I haven't had the chance to properly get to know you." A tall boy approached Xiang Beifei, introducing himself with an open manner.
"Hello."
Xiang Beifei glanced at the other's system.
[Host: Du Feihang]
[S-class, Flattery System]
[Realm: Late Qi Mastery]
[System Introduction: Being flattered by others or flattering them can make you stronger!]
[After you have flattered someone's certain ability, you can transfer that ability to yourself, but you need to pat them for it to work. How much you can transfer depends on the difference between systems. You can only transfer from the same target once a month, and only three abilities can be transferred at one time.]
Looking over this Flattery System, if it had to be categorized, he felt it was more like a Bootlicker System, and moreover, a bootlicker capable of stealing others' abilities!
Du Feihang patted Xiang Beifei on the shoulder, "I'm very fond of various outstanding talents; your strength and speed are the most powerful among all the newcomers I've seen, without exception. I truly envy your impressive physical conditions, you're practically my idol for study!"
[You have flattered Xiang Beifei's strength, transferring 12 points of strength to yourself, current strength 268.]
[You have flattered Xiang Beifei's speed, transferring 15 points of speed to yourself, current speed 367.]
[You have flattered Xiang Beifei's overall physical condition, transferring 16 points of overall physical quality to yourself, current overall physical quality: 8336.]
[Once overall physical quality reaches 10,000 points, task reward available: Strength Talisman x1; Speed Talisman x1; Escape Talisman x1.]
