When system cheat becomes rampant!

In truth, he was half there to help Uncle Lu complete the system\'s mandatory task, and the other half to truly spar with Lu Hong. The assessment at Liangzhou University was in the coming days, and it was impossible for him to step into the later stages of Qi-Controlling within this month; he had to know where he stood in comparison to a late-stage Qi-Controlling expert.

"It\'s not so much about giving pointers, but about improving together!"

Lu Hong laughed loudly, and this time he wasn\'t careless, elevating his Spiritual Power to the late-stage of Qi-Controlling!

However, the previous exchange had made Lu Hong cautious. He knew that even if he used late-stage Qi-Controlling strength, he might not necessarily get the better of Beifei, because both of them used the Rapid Flame technique, and his Rapid Flame was inferior to Beifei\'s.

He needed to learn from Beifei!

Whoosh!

Xiang Beifei\'s punches once again exploded with powerful force, striking at Lu Hong!

Lu Hong also charged forward, clashing hard with Xiang Beifei again!

Bang!

Their punches collided, and this time they seemed evenly matched!

"Good lad!"

Lu Hong was genuinely surprised in his heart. He had already used late-stage Qi-Controlling strength, yet he only managed to fight to a standstill with Xiang Beifei, who was in the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling!

But at this moment, Xiang Beifei didn\'t slow down, his left hand lashed out again towards Lu Hong\'s chest. Lu Hong blocked the fist with his own hand, and at the same time kicked upward. Beifei immediately smashed his fist down, deflecting Lu Hong\'s kick, and turned around with another punch—

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two exchanged more than a dozen moves in an instant, each throwing punches quickly and powerfully. The Rapid Flame technique was naturally domineering, every punch bringing with it an enormous roar, like the sound of a sonic boom.

Yet, the more Lu Hong fought, the more shocked he became because Beifei, with only mid-stage Qi-Controlling power, not only showed no signs of weakening but also seemed to be gaining the upper hand!

Bang!

Xiang Beifei\'s punch landed squarely on Lu Hong\'s face!

Lu Hong took a sharp breath; that punch was rather harsh.

"Sorry, facing late-stage Qi-Controlling Uncle Lu, I have to give it my all," Xiang Beifei said earnestly.

"No need to apologize, just hit! You hitting me is the only way I can understand how you execute Rapid Flame."

Lu Hong touched his face, quickly regaining his composure.

Both were using the Rapid Flame technique, and only that. Therefore, it was normal for Lu Hong, despite being the stronger, to be punched several times by Xiang Beifei since his boxing technique wasn\'t as good as Xiang Beifei\'s. Lu Hong didn\'t take it to heart.

If he wanted to defeat Beifei, Lu Hong would have to elevate his level even more. Given the situation, late-stage Qi-Controlling wasn\'t enough.

But Lu Hong had no intention of doing so; he wasn\'t there to win against Beifei. He was clear about what he needed.

——

The two sparred in the training room for an entire day. Lu Hong needed to ponder over Xiang Beifei\'s Rapid Flame, and Xiang Beifei needed to discover his own shortcomings from Lu Hong. Therefore, neither held back, but it was evident that Lu Hong still suppressed Xiang Beifei with his experience.

The reason was simple, Xiang Beifei\'s Rapid Flame was stronger than Lu Hong\'s at first, but when he shared his way of executing Rapid Flame with Lu Hong, Lu Hong gradually grasped the technique and elevated his Rapid Flame to a higher level. In the following exchanges, he slowly began to hold his own.

That was precisely why Lu Hong had been worried that Beifei wouldn\'t reciprocate.

Everyone is selfish, after all. If one aspect of themselves is strengthened, that aspect becomes their advantage. If they disclose their advantage to an opponent, the advantage vanishes.

So, Lu Hong had always wondered, if Beifei were to improve the Rapid Flame martial art, would he teach it back to him in return?

This question had troubled him for a month until he found his answer today.

Xiang Beifei chose to share the method of the martial art he had comprehended, which made Lu Hong extremely grateful.

For Xiang Beifei, going from having the upper hand to gradually being at a disadvantage was all because he revealed the improved Rapid Flame technique, which may seem foolish. But he was well aware that he didn\'t actually lose anything. Discover hidden stories at m,v l\'e-NovelBin.net

The Rapid Flame martial art was originally taught to him by Uncle Lu, part of the Lu Hong system\'s cultivation techniques. When Lu Hong passed it on to him, he did so without hesitation and quite readily.

Currently, Uncle Lu is still suppressing his own cultivation level to spar with him. Under normal circumstances, Beifei is no match for the Meridian Opening stage Uncle Lu, so losing to Uncle Lu wasn\'t a big deal at all.

And he only ever lost to one person, Uncle Lu. As for others in the later stages of Qi-Controlling, he might not necessarily lose with the help of Rapid Flame.

Besides, Lu Hong becoming stronger would also benefit Beifei, since Lu Hong had never let him down.

As the sun set, both men stopped, gasping for breath, and sat on the ground without moving.

At that moment, the system interface for Lu Hong popped up with a line of text:

[You have received feedback from Xiang Beifei\'s improvement of Rapid Flame. The Rapid Flame martial art has been entered into the database. The power of Rapid Flame is enhanced by 20% over the original, and you have completed the feedback task.]

[Task completed, the host may claim the reward: one Advanced Pill.]

Task completed!

Lu Hong excitedly clicked to claim it, then looked at the Advanced Pill in his hand!

There were two methods for him to enhance his cultivation: one was through his own training, and the other was with the help of the system. Because he had sustained injuries during his younger days while on duty which affected his fundamental strength, it was nearly impossible for him to advance through training alone, so he had to rely on the Advanced Pill provided by the system.

He had been saving up Investigation Value for several years to purchase this Advanced Pill, but was still short by over a hundred thousand. He had thought it would take another seven to eight years to gather that amount.

But to his surprise, with Beifei\'s help, it only took one month!

One month\'s worth of his effort was equivalent to nearly ten years!

With this Advanced Pill, he would soon become a mid-stage Meridian Opening cultivator, and his strength would rise to another level!

"Beifei, I owe you one," Lu Hong gratefully said to Xiang Beifei, "You have no idea how much your teaching me the improved Rapid Flame has helped me today! It was also one of my system tasks!"

Lu Hong did not hide this fact, thinking Beifei was unaware of his system tasks, so he shared the information with him.

"I\'m glad I could help Uncle Lu," Xiang Beifei said.

"You\'re about to participate in the Liangzhou University assessment, and I need to give you a hand. Last time I thought you were just at the early stage of Qi-Controlling, so I only gave you the system items for the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling. But since you have the strength of the mid-stage, I need to give you some later stage Qi-Controlling system items to protect yourself."

Lu Hong browsed through his system\'s shop, contemplating what could help Beifei.

Since he didn\'t need to use Investigation Value to buy the Advanced Pill, the Investigation Value could be spent.
