Chapter 202

The opponent's figure lying on the ground was so desolate that Jiang Yunu couldn't help but move closer again.

She poked the other person again with her green supernatural tentacles.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Yunu asked.

The opponent lying on the ground initially feigned death, but the arena itself had a time limit. After a round of play, if either player refused to leave the arena, the arena's intelligent system would automatically review the situation, determining whether the players had lost the ability to leave the arena on their own or were still engaging in conflicting behavior after the match. The former would trigger the system to summon medical assistance, while the latter would result in a stern stop and a yellow light warning for the players.

At the moment, the system judged this contestant from another school as the former.

"Please indicate within ten seconds that you are still able to act on your own," the system said sternly. "Otherwise, after the ten-second countdown, the system will automatically call medical attention for you. Ten, nine, eight..."

The contestant from another school kicked his legs when the countdown reached "seven".

"I'm still alive," he said quietly, "and I can still move. I can pick up what's left of my confidence and dignity on this battlefield."

"..." Jiang Yunu and the system that received the clear instructions fell silent.

The man actually slowly got up and made a "picking up air" gesture.

"..." Jiang Yunu remained silent.

The other person said, "Do I look like I'm picking up air? It's okay, that's the truth, because my so-called remaining confidence and dignity are actually as ethereal and elusive as air."

Jiang Yunu turned to the system beside him, which still had an "information collection light" on. "How about we call for medical help? But don't let him suffer any obvious trauma or soft tissue contusion."

The intelligent system politely inquired: "Excuse me, what kind of injury information do you think should be reported for your opponent?"

Jiang Yunu said seriously: "Mental damage."

Jiang Yunu was really serious and didn't mean to make fun of him at all.

Seeing that the system really began to collect, think and analyze Jiang Yunu's words, the contestant from another school instantly recovered 70% of his normal state.

"No, no." He waved his hand at the system. "Don't listen to her. I'm not that seriously injured. Although I'm indeed emotionally wounded, reporting mental damage on me will only make my 'injury' worse."

The confidence that had grown from practicing for five days longer than Jiang Yunu was crushed to pieces by Jiang Yunu's still swift attack.

After finally calming down a bit, the contestants from other schools looked at Jiang Yunu in disbelief.

"How come you're in better shape despite not training for five days?" the other person asked. "Your superpowers sweep in like the wind, then suddenly disperse. Even after dispersing, each tentacle holds attack power, capable of whipping or binding—did you use this skill in the first half of the round?"

Jiang Yunu became more serious. She said, "No, in the first half of the competition, I didn't try to transform the form of the superpower continuously in the same skill."

Performing different supernatural moves and constantly changing the form of supernatural powers within the same skill are two different things.

The former is a psychic with many skills and moves, and each time he performs a move, he has to re-draw the energy from the energy core. The taking and releasing of energy constitutes a move; while the latter quickly changes the form of the released energy in the same wave of energy release.

Jiang Yunu seemed to have always been able to change the form of energy after releasing it, and to re-extract superpowers from the energy core at the lowest frequency. She used to think that her method of energy call-up was very common, but after experiencing many actual battles, she gradually realized that her superpower combat method might be quite niche.

The energy that most people draw from their core at one time cannot support such frequent and long-lasting changes in form.

"It's like a faucet and water." Sorok and Jin Qing once listened to Jiang Yunu's questions about combat strategies. They jointly studied how Jiang Yunu invoked her special abilities and then analyzed them for her. "There are regular faucets and fancy faucets. The different moves and skills of a psychic can be thought of as different faucets. The energy is the water drawn from the core. Through the shape of the 'faucet', the final form of the 'water flow' is changed."

The conventional one-move-one-energy technique is to first open the "faucet" shaped like A to release skill A, then close the "faucet" shaped like A, and then open the "faucet" shaped like B to continue releasing skill B.

"The way you use your ability is like directly changing the shape of the 'faucet' while keeping the 'water flow' unstopped." Senior Jin Qing concluded in this way. When she said this result, she looked a little incredible.

Because this way of using supernatural powers is simply unheard of, at least in Jin Qing's knowledge.

"Even among the full-time superpower warriors of the three major associations, I have never heard of anyone who can use superpowers like this." Jin Qing said.

Sorok was relatively objective and neutral. He said: "Perhaps someone in the association can do this, but has never publicized it, treating it as a unique 'secret weapon'."

This unconventional form of displaying supernatural skills can easily become a winning weapon in a competitive match.

During the second half of the district-level competition, Jiang Yunu continued to delve deeper into the continuous changes in this skill form.

She has unprecedented suitable soil, which allows her skills that previously lacked intensive practical combat to continue to grow rapidly.

The district-level competition schedule is much more intensive than the school-level competition, and the final ranking is based on a points system. This means that even players with lower rankings in the entire round of competition will not be eliminated early in the competition due to low points, and will continue to compete until the last week of the "points sprint week."

Jiang Yunu used to keep an eye on the points to see her recent win rate and rankings, but from the second half of the round when she discovered how to use her unique skills, she started to fight with all her heart and determination, and had no idea what win rates and rankings were. Every day she only paid attention to whether it was her turn in the next game and what she had gained in the new battle. Then she would immediately go into the single-player training room and apply what she had gained to her skills training.

Not everyone is overwhelmed by the ever-changing skills. Some people have watched Jiang Yunu's games in advance and know her expertise. When the two face off, the opponents will specifically guard against Jiang Yunu and even think about how to deal with such a "ever-changing" player like her.

Others were specifically defending against him, trying to counterattack him, and Jiang Yunu's attitude was - is there such a good thing?!

"Don't you feel like others are deliberately targeting you, making you feel like a thorn in your back?" For the first time, "Little Ye Li" from the school team spoke to Jiang Yunu. He obviously found it difficult to understand Jiang Yunu's attitude towards being "targeted".

Because Jiang Yunu looked really excited.

"No." Jiang Yunu answered affirmatively.

She grinned, revealing a row of fine teeth, like a delighted little shark: "This is a chance to 'check for deficiencies and fill gaps' that's right here at my doorstep."

If someone targets her, it must be because they have found her weakness.

To be honest, up to now, Jiang Yunu feels that she has been going too smoothly. She still doesn't know what the weaknesses of her supernatural fighting style are. She also needs to explore her shortcomings and skill limits through actual combat.

Some people think they've found her "weakness," others are actively researching and exploring her flaws with her... In short, is there such a good thing?!

"Xiao Ye Li" seemed shocked by Jiang Yunu's excellent psychological quality. He was silent for a while, and finally gave Jiang Yunu a silent thumbs up.

This was the most vivid affirmation Jiang Yunu received from the school team members who were "restricted by family rules" and could not communicate with her freely.

Jiang Yunu almost finished the second half of the district competition in this state of "selflessness".

One night, she walked out of the individual training room and happened to meet the player from another school who had lost four games in the lobby of the training hall.

The opponent was almost completely defeated by the previous defeat, and blocked all communication with Jiang Yunu. The other party even took the initiative to greet him and said, "Congratulations in advance."

Jiang Yunu blinked.

"Ah?" Jiang Yunu said, "Congratulations on what?"

The contestant from another school stared at Jiang Yunu for a long while with an expression that said "Are you pretending to be stupid?" Then, he seemed to realize that the white-haired girl in front of him was really stupid - she had obviously been completely immersed in the world of fighting and couldn't extricate herself, and she didn't even care about other details around her.

The out-of-school player sighed again, "I'm impressed by you too!" He said, "Congratulations in advance on your ranking in the district tournament. If nothing unexpected happens, two of you Golden Uriels will be able to win league tickets for the school this year."

Jiang Yunu blinked again.

After bidding farewell to this contestant, Jiang Yunu returned to the camp dormitory and opened the district-level competition player interface that she hadn't paid attention to for a while.

Then Jiang Yunu stared at the personal information on the player interface for a while.

She placed fourth among the regional competitors.

There are only two matches left. Even if Jiang Yunu loses both matches, her points will drop to seventh or eighth at most, and she will still be in the top ten.

No wonder the contestant from another school congratulated her in advance.

Sometimes, people devote themselves to doing something, constantly investing in it and reviewing it, and then suddenly look up and find that they have come a long way forward and achieved new achievements.

Jiang Yunu did not lose the last two battles. Her changing skills were erratic on the battlefield, as unpredictable as her fighting ideas. She accumulated a lot of new experience in a large number of actual combats, and also carefully studied the personal skills of many opponents in the district-level competition.

In the same skill release, Jiang Yunu used the usual supernatural skills of three former opponents in the blink of an eye, which not only stunned the current opponents, but also left a strong mark in the "Challenge Cup" district-level competition in the second largest area.

"You are such a... little monster." The opponent shook hands with her after losing the battle. It could be heard that he was trying his best to be polite, but the word "little monster" still slipped out of his mouth after careful consideration.

Jiang Yunu said, "Thank you."

The losing opponent was a senior student from another school, a senior student. She had defeated Jiang Yunuo once in the first half of the district competition. So no one knew better than her, who had defeated Jiang Yunuo before, how much progress Jiang Yunuo had made in this entire round of competition.

Significant progress itself may not be uncommon, but a person who started from a very high point can also make significant progress in a short period of time. After thinking about it, the senior student from another school can only sincerely say "little monster".

The little monster finally ranked third in the district competition, moving up one place in the rankings.

Golden Uriel Academy did get two league tickets this year.
