Chapter 169: Chapter 146: You Must Stare Him Down!
Long Guocheng felt increasingly guilty inside, his face reddening more and more, no longer daring to meet Xiang Beifei's gaze, frantically shifting his eyes away from Xiang Beifei!
But even without making eye contact with Xiang Beifei, the pressure still didn't lessen. It seemed like the ranked-N failure was still watching him?
Detestable! How could he look at me like that?
In a moment, Long Guocheng's heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't help but reach out a hand to touch his own face—
So hot!
He actually really blushed!
He was clearly there to assert his dominance over this ranked-N failure, so why was it he who ended up blushing?
...
[Xiang Beifei looked at you for five seconds, attention value +5]
Long Guocheng felt increasingly panicked inside. Xiang Beifei was still looking at him, and he felt more guilty, finding it impossible to stay any longer. Hastily, he turned around, without a word, and rushed out of the dormitory!
Whew!
The air in the corridor was so fresh!
Long Guocheng breathed deeply the fresh air, as if he had escaped from a dim cage, seeing the sunlight again, and the pressure on him gradually dissipated.
But when he regained his senses, he felt even more annoyed!
I actually blushed from a ranked-N freshman's gaze?
Shameful!
In high school, he was the object of many girls' secret admiration, a genius envied and admired by many boys, all his classmates avoided his gaze. He always made people blush, never had he been made to blush himself!
But today, he had actually felt his heart race because he was looked at by a ranked-N failure?
Could this be the strong point of a Body Cultivation martial artist?
Long Guocheng had never encountered Body Cultivators before because in his eyes, Body Cultivation was the path only those with poor talent took, like Xiang Beifei, who rarely achieved anything.
But today, having met a Body Cultivation martial artist for the first time, he was caught off guard and let down his defenses!
Body Cultivation, indeed powerful!
"Dammit! Wait for it, I must regain my lost dignity!"
Long Guocheng was very unwilling. He knew that in the Qi-Controlling stage, Body Cultivators were almost invincible, even if only SR-ranked and freshly trained a few months, they could do nothing against Body Cultivators.
However, there was still time. Body Cultivators progressed slowly. Xiang Beifei was only in the middle stage of Qi-Controlling and might take several years to reach the Meridian Opening stage! Meanwhile, as a ranked-SR Awakener, he only needed one year to reach the Meridian Opening stage!
Long Guocheng secretly made up his mind. He decided not to move out of this dorm but to continue sharing with Xiang Beifei. First, he would adapt to the pressure from his Body Cultivation, and then, when his martial cultivation surpassed that of Xiang Beifei, he would use [Vision Pressure] to stare down Xiang Beifei again!
Win the stare-down!
Make him voluntarily move out of this dorm!
The cold and proud heir to the Long Corporation couldn't possibly give up his contempt for Xiang Beifei! Having suffered a loss today, he prepared to take revenge in the future.
If even a ranked-N Awakener like Xiang Beifei couldn't be conquered, what would conquering the whole world mean?
——
——
Xiang Beifei had already looked at Long Guocheng for so many seconds, adding fifteen attention points; this was already the maximum. Hence, when Long Guocheng tried to use [Vision Pressure], it would be ineffective.
Because those attention points, strictly speaking, belonged to Xiang Beifei.
As long as he understood the other's system mechanics, Xiang Beifei could utterly defeat him!
Seeing Long Guocheng flee in defeat, he shrugged his shoulders, then turned around, arranging the new books that had just been handed out.
Xiang Beifei wasn't worried that Long Guocheng would suspect anything; he had only slightly controlled the other's [Vision Pressure] application and hadn't made Long Guocheng lose anything.
This is a world where everyone can cheat; if the road rises one foot, the demon rises ten feet. Seeing Long Guocheng flee in defeat, he would merely think it was his own spiritual defense or willpower that had backfired.
After all, Long Guocheng had regarded him as a Body Cultivator. The willpower of Body Cultivators is well known, and it's normal to withstand such spiritual power pressure.
Li Zimu looked at Xiang Beifei somewhat surprised and asked, "It seemed like he tried to attack you just now, how did you withstand it?"
Although he didn't know which system Long Guocheng had or what abilities he had used, Li Zimu's SR System Perception was still very powerful.
"He used a spiritual attack; I'm a Body Cultivator."
Xiang Beifei decided to go with the flow; calling himself a Body Cultivator would provide good cover. He decided to give Elder Luo a heads-up to help spread the word that he was a Body Cultivator, so others wouldn't always doubt his system talents, and the attention on him would diminish.
"So you're a Body Cultivator! No wonder you are so powerful. I greatly admire Body Cultivators; without the spirit of enduring hardship, one can't achieve anything."
Li Zimu contemplated.
The invisible wind that had blown through the dorm just now was indeed Long Guocheng using his spiritual oppression ability. But the strong will of a Body Cultivator was well-equipped to defend against this type of spiritual system Awakener, and Long Guocheng was only in the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling. It was inevitable for him to suffer a loss facing Xiang Beifei.
"He probably can't make you move out of this dorm now, but I can tell he's a very proud person. You've made him suffer a setback, and he definitely won't let it go."
Li Zimu had also seen Long Guocheng's signature; from his writing, he could read a person's character and reminded him accordingly.
"Let him be."
Xiang Beifei didn't really mind.
