Chapter 141

After successfully driving the people away, Su Bei and the others left together after the stay time was over. Except for their special department, the exam time for others was in the afternoon, so they could rest the whole morning.

There was no point in going back to the dormitory, and it was still a long way to noon, so we all went back to the classroom to chat.

Zhao Xiaoyu carefully closed the classroom door and whispered to everyone, "I passed by the teacher's office today and found that they were sorting out the papers."

When everyone heard the news while sorting out the papers, they all had a bad feeling. Wu Mingbai frowned and asked, "How many papers are for one class, or... for the whole grade?"

If it is the former, then it may just be that a teacher in a certain class is planning to do a surprise test on them. But if the number is large, then it may be that the school is going to give them a big "surprise" in their first grade.

It was rare that Mo Xiaotian understood what everyone was saying. He showed an expression of disbelief: "Ah, really? Isn't this monthly exam just a selection for the midterm exam? Why is there also a cultural exam?"

Zhao Xiaoyu patted his shoulder and racked her brains to try to comfort him: "Anyway, the exam will be in these two days at the latest. At least it saves you time to review, right?"

Hearing this, Su Bei almost burst out laughing. The implication was obvious. With only two days left, it was impossible to pass the exam even if I studied hard. Isn't that just saving time for studying?

Obviously her words could not comfort Mo Xiaotian, at least they did not make matters worse. Mo Xiaotian lay on the table in despair and wailed: "Help me, why is the exam coming up so soon?"

Su Bei sat in the back row and didn't say anything. He was thinking about something. It was not uncommon for him to be silent, so no one paid much attention.

It was not until Su Bei suddenly stood up that Si Zhaohua asked, "What are you doing?"

"Let's go to the library." Su Bei replied, "Want to go together?"

It was rare for him to take the initiative to invite others, so Si Zhaohua naturally stood up. Wu Jin had gone to the library with Su Bei last time, and thought it would be nice to read some books when he was free, so he also stood up.

Humans always follow the herd. The three of them decided to go to the library. The others had nothing to do, so they also decided to go to the library. So the group of people went to the library in a mighty stream.

Most people were taking exams at this time, so the campus was very empty. When I arrived at the library, the administrator was surprised by the sudden arrival of so many people. He pushed his glasses and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Of course we come to the library to read books." Su Bei answered with a smile. He was the first to walk to his usual reading area, looked around, picked up a book at random, and sat down on the sofa.

Others followed and started to choose books. Since they followed Su Bei, they also walked along the same path as he had just walked. Suddenly, Xiang Tianming's eyes fell on a book with a black cover. The book was placed in a corner and looked inconspicuous. But he rarely saw a book cover in pure black, and Jiang Tianming liked black very much, so he took the book out.

The title of the book is not on the cover, but on the back of the black cover. The name is - "The Birth of Nightmare".

Su Bei glimpsed Jiang Tianming holding the book, and his lips curled slightly. It was worth it that he copied the book and specially chose Jiang Tianming's favorite black as the cover color. He just put the book on the bookshelf while no one was paying attention, and adjusted his luck to the best.

Sure enough, he successfully got the book.

That's right, he had placed this book there specifically for Jiang Tianming to take. The content inside was exactly about how the Nightmare Beast was created after the meteorite fell from the sky.

The reason why Jiang Tianming had to see these contents at this point in time was because according to Su Bei's speculation, there was a high possibility that this plot would be included in the comics.

There was indeed a lot of plot this afternoon, but the plot in the morning was a little empty, and this paragraph just made up for it. Fortunately, he prepared this book before the monthly exam, and brought it with him today, and now it really came in handy.

It doesn't matter if this part of the story is not drawn in the final comic. He will find an opportunity to mention it more later. As long as Jiang Tianming keeps recalling it, the author will draw it sooner or later.

Telling Jiang Tianming about the "meteorite falling from the sky" does not mean that Su Bei wants to do something now. He has no intention of making trouble now, it is too early, at least he has to wait until the midterm exam is over.

The news is released now to give readers some time to think and to learn from it. Readers always have big imaginations, and maybe they can help him come up with a suitable solution before he comes up with one himself.

Jiang Tian was obviously absorbed in the book, and when he left, he went to the librarian to register, wanting to borrow the book. The librarian glanced at the title and directly registered it in the notebook.

Seeing this, Su Bei looked away with satisfaction. He had been to the library so many times, so he knew that the books that were checked out would only be recorded in a notebook, not searched on a computer, otherwise it would be easy to find out that the book did not exist in the library at all.

The reason why they use such a simple recording method is that there are often some strange books in the library. They are often put in by students or teachers when they come to the library. Over time, no special records are made. As long as the borrowed items can be returned, it is fine.

Su Bei knew this, so he dared to stuff books into the library so blatantly.

The first test to start in the afternoon was the defense track. This track was quite fast because it only required one-on-one attacks. Ai Baozhu and Wu Mingbai were the only two members of their class who participated in this track.

Neither of them can only go to this one track. A Baozhu can go to the special track, and Wu Mingbai can go to the attack track, but in the end both of them chose the defense track.

After all, this track has the least number of people in the class, so they have to get at least two people to fill the quota. Otherwise, what if one more person comes in and Meng Huai really chases them away?

Fortunately, both candidates were very suitable for this track, so it was not a big sacrifice.

The first person to take the test was A Baozhu. The third-grade teacher in charge of attack stood in front of her, and then A Baozhu activated her supernatural powers.

She was also a rare bad person, and had no intention of reminding the teacher. The teacher in charge of attacking used her supernatural power to attack with a moderate amount, but was immediately bounced away by her [Gorgeous Domain].

teacher:""

Because he was not in charge of the first grade, he had not paid much attention to the first grade S class this year, and naturally did not know what the special abilities of the students there were.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Ai Baozhu explained in a seemingly obedient but actually arrogant manner: "My special ability is [Gorgeous Realm]. If you do something un-gorgeous in the realm, you will be expelled, such as fighting."

This ability is indeed interesting. The teacher showed an interested look: "If I stand outside your domain, can I break your domain?"

"It's OK if the attacking power is sufficient." Unlike the special track in Subei, the tracks here are all closed and not open to other students. So Ai Baozhu directly told the teacher about this method to deal with her own superpowers.

Not only this track, in fact, all tracks except the special track are closed exams. This is to prevent people from other schools from predicting what team they will bring to the field through this exam and understanding the abilities of their players.

As expected at the beginning, Abaozhu's ability has also improved a lot. She activated the ability again, but this time the range of the ability was much smaller, only covering her, and leaving a space for one person in front of her.

This is the minimum range of the [Gorgeous Domain], which must include the positions of two people. The smaller the domain is, the higher the defense capability will naturally be. At the same time, the Abaozhu has also developed a rebound function. If you use violence in the domain, you will be directly bounced out, and if you use violence against the domain outside the domain, part of the damage will be returned.

The most important thing is that her ability can now be activated silently, without those pink petals, and can completely catch the enemy off guard.

There was no doubt that the teacher was conquered by the power of the savior. When she came out of the classroom, she had a proper and proud smile on her face. As soon as everyone saw this smile, they knew that Ai Baozhu should be stable.

The next one is Wu Mingbai. Wu Mingbai's special ability, [Earth Element], has not only improved the types of earth elements he can control over the course of a semester, but also increased its strength.

[Earth Element] is a very suitable ability for defense. Although Wu Mingbai has a desire to attack, he has never given up the development of his advantages.

A fortress made of various sand, stone and earth blocks was built, directly blocking most of the attacks.

But the teacher was still a little dissatisfied with this. Although Wu Mingbai's defense ability had surpassed most of the students, in his opinion, this ability was too common and could be easily recognized by the enemy.

After thinking for a while, he called another teacher and said, "Try this teacher's attack. I can warn you in advance that his attack is completely different from mine. If you are willing to try and can successfully resist it once, I will give you a place in the competition. But if you fail once, this place will most likely not fall on you. Are you willing to try it?"

Obviously, what he meant was to give him a chance to take a risk and be successfully selected for the first-year competition. Agree and win once > Disagree > Agree but not win.

The first one has a 100% chance of getting a spot, and the last one has almost no chance of getting a spot. The one in the middle is the safest choice. His performance just now was actually quite good, so even if he is rejected, there is still a good chance of success.

But Wu Mingbai only thought for a second before answering without hesitation: "I do."

Wu Mingbai naturally understood the meaning of the teacher giving him this option and letting him take the advanced examination for the second time. It was obvious that the teacher felt that his ability was almost enough to be selected, but he lacked some key things, so he had to consider it again.

As for what this "key thing" is, Wu Mingbai suddenly thought of the special track test in northern Jiangsu. Lei Zeen said that the special track relies on their ability to respond to situations and surprise.

And his own superpower [Earth Element] lacks exactly this ability. Many people have similar superpowers, so the various routines and gameplay of elemental superpowers have almost been thoroughly studied.

If he played normally, he would not be competitive, so Wu Mingliang deduced that this second assessment might be to test his ability to respond to special powers.

Just as the teacher said, the new way of attack will be completely different from the previous one.

Then what he needs to do is to find the attack method that is likely to break his defense and then come up with a countermeasure.

"Are you ready?" the new examiner with dark green hair asked expressionlessly, looking very unapproachable.

Dark green hair

In the general knowledge class last semester, Wu Mingbai learned that many people's superpowers are related to their hair and eye color. The body itself stores the elements of superpowers and changes their hair and eye color.

For example, his ability is [Earth Element], so his hair is brown. Qi Huang's ability is [Fire Phoenix], so her hair and eyes are both red.

So what kind of supernatural power does dark green generally represent? Generally speaking, it is a supernatural power of wood attribute. Wood overcomes earth, which does meet the requirements. The seeds of the wood element can easily break through his soil defense line and harm him inside.

If he wants to deal with the wood element, he should build a fortress with stone, which will be difficult for the wood to break into.

This is the truth, but Wu Baixiao felt something was wrong. Almost all elementalists have learned the principle of mutual restraint and mutual promotion of elements. When the teacher had clearly stated that this time would be different from the previous ones and was deliberately testing him, it was easy for him to think that wood restrains earth.

But if the teacher just wanted to see if he could handle a wood-type attack, then he could just say it directly. Why would he be so secretive?

So if this teacher is not of wood attribute, what kind of supernatural power would he have?

Green hair, green eyes...

Suddenly, Wu Mingbai thought of a possibility.

"Teacher, I'm ready." All the thinking took place in just three minutes. After three minutes, Wu Mingbai raised his head and said affirmatively.

The teacher didn't take too long to think, so he nodded and prepared to attack. At the same time, Wu Mingbai quickly went underground and built a fortress for himself.

The new examiner did not attack directly, but turned to the direction where Wu Mingbai disappeared, crushed the bricks on top with his toes, and then saw the exposed stones underneath.

Seeing this, he and the previous examiner shook their heads at the same time. If there were only ordinary stones like this, then even if the stone layer was thick, Wu Mingbai would probably fail.

The green-haired teacher activated his supernatural power, and the green gas moved directly towards the fortress. Because it was gas, it could penetrate into the loose soil and then wrap up the entire fortress of Wu Mingbai.

As long as he was short of air and breathed outside, the green gas would be able to penetrate in and achieve the purpose of the attack.

That's right, this examiner's ability is poisonous, and he usually relies on toxins to cause damage to his enemies.

As long as Wu Mingbai inhaled the poison gas, he would fail the test.

However, after waiting for a minute, the green-haired examiner suddenly retracted his poisonous aura and said with a hint of admiration: "He passed the test."

"How did he pass?" the old examiner asked in surprise, "Only one minute had passed. He should have been able to hold his breath for a while longer."

"I didn't hold my breath." Wu Mingbai, who heard what the green-haired examiner said, had already crawled out from under the ground. "The poisonous gas was filtered out by me."

The green-haired examiner nodded, agreeing with him: "He should have added activated carbon, fiberglass and other things that can filter out poison gas to the inner layer of his fortress. I just felt my poison gas and it has seeped in, but it has not really entered the inner layer. Even if he persists for another day, it will be fine. Just replace the activated carbon that is full of poison gas in time."

After saying that, he looked at Wu Mingbai and asked, "How did you think I would use poison?"

Wu Mingbai answered honestly: "Hair color."

"Shouldn't this hair color be associated with the wood attribute?" the old examiner also asked curiously. He had deliberately pulled him out to deceive people because of his hair color and supernatural powers.

"It's because it's too easy to associate it with the wood attribute." Wu Mingbai shrugged.

Now both of them understood. The green-haired examiner looked at his colleague and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't forget to fulfill your promise."

After saying that, he turned around and left the classroom.

As expected, the old examiner had no intention of going back on his word. Chong Wu gave him a thumbs up and said, "Don't worry, you will get the spot. But we still need to discuss whether you will be the main candidate or the reserve candidate."

Wu Mingbai was very satisfied with this result. No matter whether he was the candidate or the backup candidate, he would have a chance to go on stage. He said goodbye to the teacher and walked out of the classroom.

Just as he was about to close the classroom door, he heard the examiner mutter, "It looks like two more students from Class S have been selected this time."

People outside the classroom didn't know what was going on, so Jiang Tianming, who was waiting outside, first observed his face, and when he saw that there was no problem, he asked, "How did you do on the exam?"

"You figured it out, didn't you?" Wu Mingbai bumped his shoulder, "It's stable now!"

That is, he would only tell the results directly to Jiang Tianming and Lan Subing. If it were anyone else, Wu Mingbai would just say that he did well in the exam. After all, secrecy makes things happen, and leaks ruin things. If you tell a secret before the dust has settled, it will most likely be wasted in the end.

Hearing him say this, Jiang Tianming smiled faintly: "Let's go find Ah Bing. Their exams should be about to start."

The reason why he was the only one here was because everyone else was about to take the exam. The few people in Su Bei who had finished their exams didn't need to go, as they had already gone there in advance to reserve seats.

The three who signed up for the auxiliary race were Zhao Xiaoyu, Lan Subing, and Wu Jin. None of them were the type of nurses, so they all needed to test their ability in the team competition.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Lan Subing signed up for the auxiliary track was to fill the vacancy. Zhao Xiaoyu was unlikely to be selected, and she had found a way out for herself in advance. The only one who really wanted to participate in the auxiliary track was Wu Jin. In order to fill another vacancy and give herself a higher chance of being successfully selected, Lan Subing signed up for this track.

No one was too worried about her. The ability of [Word Spirit] was extremely powerful at any time, and it was hard not to be selected. So when the two of them came over, they were chatting and laughing, and there was no sense of urgency.

The one that really worries people is Wu Jin. Until now, they still can't figure out how Wu Jin's ability can make it through the siege in the auxiliary track. Although the competition in this track is indeed less, his ability is indeed useless.

At the beginning, Wu Jin said that he got into Class S through the back door, and he didn't play any role in the whole semester. The only two people in the class who were familiar with him were Zhao Xiaoyu and Su Bei.

Wait...Subei

Thinking of Su Bei, Jiang Tianming's originally wrinkled brows suddenly wrinkled a little deeper: "Do you think Wu Jin can be selected?"

Friends are like telepaths. Wu Mingbai suddenly thought of Su Bei, or rather, thought of Su Bei's predictions during the first monthly exam: "Just ask Su Bei and you'll know."

The two hit it off immediately and hurried to Lan Subing's examination venue, and then found Su Bei, Feng Lan and Li Shu sitting on chairs nearby.

The three of them have already finished their exams, and now they are very relaxed. And because their grades are good, even though they know they may have cultural classes tomorrow, they are not in a hurry to take the exam.

Unlike poor Mo Xiaotian, who is now waiting for his own competition while frantically memorizing formulas in a math book.

"A Bing has already gone in," Jiang Tianming asked as he sat next to Su Bei.

Su Bei nodded, and Li Shu, who was not far away, answered immediately: "We just asked about it. The assessment of the auxiliary department is to use a team copied by a teacher with the [Copy] ability to assess it. Two assistants join the battle respectively, and the winner continues to the next round."

"This test method is quite fair and just." Wu Mingbai said in surprise, then he remembered something, "It seems that Jiang, your test method is probably the same."

The only classes that need to be tested on teamwork are the support and control classes, and the test methods for both classes should be similar.

Jiang Tianming nodded and got down to business: "By the way, Su Bei, what do you think..."

He glanced at Wu Jin who was waiting nearby and asked hesitantly, "Will there be any new students in our class?"

This question was very ambiguous. The reason for the newcomers must be because there were non-S class members in the three-school competition team. And at this time, asking this question was obviously asking Wu Jin.

Understanding his hint, Su Bei looked at Wu Jin with a smile and said, "Wu Jin, do you have confidence?"

As soon as these words came out, all the candidates waiting outside looked at Wu Jin. I have mentioned before that the members of Class S are basically very famous in the first grade, and everyone is basically familiar with their paper strength.

But there is one exception, that is Wu Jin. Just like the supernatural power he announced to the public, Wu Jin's presence has always been very low. He did not perform well in the previous exams. No one knows his personality, ability, or why he was admitted to Class S.

The students in Class F used to talk about this, and they thought that Wu Jin must be hiding his true abilities and strength just like Su Bei. Otherwise, how could he get into Class S?

They were right. Wu Jin was indeed hiding something, and there were quite a few things he was hiding.

He raised his head and looked at Su Bei with his gray eyes. He blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes, and after a moment, he nodded slowly, his eyes firm and bright: "Yes."
