Chapter 145
His idea coincided with Su Bei's, but their subsequent actions might not be exactly the same. So Su Bei said directly: "I am ready to watch the show. No matter how you do it, this show should be exciting."
The implication was that Wu Jin should not care about him, whether he wanted to keep silent or remind him. Just like he said before, just do whatever you want.
After understanding his hint, Wu Jin stopped talking and lowered his head to think about what he should do. It didn't matter whether he chose to remain silent or tell others. Although it would sound a bit unkind if he chose to remain silent, the only person who knew about this matter was Su Bei, and Su Bei obviously would not tell others about this matter.
Su Bei had nothing to do this afternoon. He had finished his exams in the morning, so lying on his bed in the dormitory, he was hesitating whether to go out and watch other people's exams in the afternoon.
If you don't go, you will definitely miss a lot of plot points, because you don't have to think about it, the main content of the next comic update will definitely be in the afternoon. But to be honest, it doesn't matter whether you miss the plot points this time, the ring competition is always a personal highlight moment.
The only time he could have a sense of presence was when Zhou Renjie was doing something, but he had already failed before the exam. Even if there was a next time, it would probably be during the exam period. At that time, others could not watch, nor could they participate.
Then let’s not go. Find a good excuse for yourself to slack off. Su Mei beautifully closed her eyes and prepared to have a good sleep.
However, reality often does not develop as expected. At half past one, someone knocked on Su Bei's door. It was none other than our protagonist Jiang Tianming.
After being let in, Jiang Tianming asked directly: "Su Bei, did you feel that Zhou Renjie's behavior just now was strange?"
Su Bei raised his eyebrows and didn't answer, but just poured him a glass of water.
Jiang Tianming didn't care whether he replied or not, and continued: "You must have noticed his abnormality. When I and Mingbai discussed it, we both felt that there might be something wrong with the cup of milk tea that Zhou Renjie gave to Mo Xiaotian."
The analysis was very thorough and the result was correct. Su Bei nodded and said, "So what did you want to ask me?"
"I want to verify my guess." Jiang Tianming replied, "You should have figured it out too."
Su Bei did not comment and prepared to see the guests off: "It's time for you to take the exam, go and get ready."
Hearing his hidden meaning, Jiang Tianming was surprised: "Aren't you coming?"
"I've already finished my exams, so what was I doing? Of course I was sleeping in the dormitory!" Su Bei stretched his waist and pushed the person out, "Okay, go quickly, don't be late."
"Wait, wait!" Jiang Tianming tried to turn around and raised a finger. "There's one more thing. The teacher just came to class and announced something."
"What's the matter?" Su Bei didn't expect that after leaving for such a short while, something unexpected would happen.
Jiang Tianming said with a gloating look: "The teacher said that the candidates for the special track have been determined, and asked you to go to his office before two o'clock."
Su Bei: "..."
"Hasn't the exam finished yet? How come the candidates have already been announced?" He was filled with questions.
There were quite a few people applying for the special department, and even if their exams were simple, unless they sent people off quickly like he did, it would take at least ten minutes. There must be a lot of people who took ten minutes, so it was impossible to finish it in one morning.
Jiang Tianming was not from the special department, so of course he didn't know the current situation. But since Meng Huai said so, there must be no problem. He used his own method to fight back, pushing Su Bei out: "Okay, go quickly, don't be late."
Su Bei: "..."
It was still a bit painful when the boomerang hit his body. He coughed, followed Jiang Tianming's force and walked out of the dormitory building with him.
On the way, Su Bei asked curiously: "The other one should be Li Shu, why didn't you invite him to come along?"
Hearing this, Jiang Tianming raised his lips with a fake smile: "I understand, go call him."
As soon as he saw his expression, Su Bei understood immediately. Li Shu was just a little bit weird to other people, but to Jiang Tianming, he was really a yandere.
No wonder Jiang Tianming avoided him.
The two of them went their separate ways when they arrived at the teaching building. Su Bei went all the way to Meng Huai's classroom, and sure enough, the other party was in the office. Not only him, but also the proctor from the special department was sitting next to him.
The examiner was of course very impressed with Su Bei. As soon as he saw him, he smiled and said, "Congratulations! You are now a finalist."
As expected, Su Bei nodded naturally, without any expression of joy, and just asked the previous question: "How come the results are out now when the exam is not finished yet?"
"There are still some students from Class F who haven't taken the exam yet. Class F has the most applicants in the special department." At this point, the examiner revealed an expression that could only be understood but not described.
Su Bei certainly understood what he meant. Generally speaking, those who are assigned to Class F must have extremely useless supernatural powers, such as his original ability to conjure up gears, Zhao Xiaoyu's ability to make people smile, and so on.
Any special ability that can be used in other tracks is generally more or less useful, so Class F has the most special tracks.
After the class division last semester, there was no dark horse in Class F, and it was hard to find someone who could beat the two of them. Therefore, even if the exams were not finished, the results were almost certain.
The examiner stood up from his chair and looked at Meng Huai, "I'll go and continue supervising the exam. You can tell him about those things."
Li Shu also came while they were talking. He was not very excited when he learned that he was selected. Unlike Su Bei, he did not even have the subjective desire to qualify. He just tried his best in the monthly exam because he did not want to leave Class F.
Meng Huai motioned for them to sit on the chairs opposite him. After they were both seated, he read from a script paper and said, "The reason I called you here this time is mainly to confirm the qualifying spots. In order for the three-school competition to go smoothly and for our school to get a good ranking, you need to sign a confidentiality agreement. This contract is not intended to restrict your personal freedom or freedom of speech, but..."
He was too lazy to continue reading after reading this, so he threw the speech paper on the table: "Anyway, after signing the confidentiality agreement, the next training and teammates' special abilities are not allowed to be disclosed to others. Not only you, but all the starting players and backup players must sign this agreement."
As he said that, he took out two agreements. Su Bei took a quick look and saw nothing wrong with them. However, he did not rush to sign them. Instead, he pretended to be curious and asked, "Teacher, since we have already qualified, even if we give this position to others, it will be considered as occupying this quota. No one else will enter Class S because of us, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Shu immediately had a look of having learned something. He really hadn't thought of this, but now that he thought about it, if Meng Huai had no objection, it would indeed be a good idea.
But how could Meng Huai not notice him? He sneered and said, "That's perfect. The newcomer won't take up other people's seats. You two should pack up your things and leave, and make room for the newcomer."
As expected, there was no choice. Su Bei curled his lips and signed the contract honestly. Li Shu, who was standing next to him, saw that if he wanted to stay in Class S, he would have to participate in the three-school competition, so he had no choice but to sign the contract.
After signing the contract, Meng Huai talked about another matter: "I was going to tell you this in class, but since you two are here, I'll tell you first. Because the school insists on your balanced development, the student council will arrange a mission for you to represent the school to conduct inspections with others. You may have to go for a few days, so you can prepare your toiletries in advance."
Hearing him say this, Su Bei and Li Shu frowned at the same time. Li Shu's thinking was extremely quick, and he quickly asked a few key questions: "Is there a teacher leading the team? Where are we going? What is our mission?"
"I will explain all this to the class after the monthly exam." Meng Huai was too lazy to answer his questions now. He would have to explain them when the time came anyway, so there was no need to say them in advance.
Su Bei was concerned about another point: "Does it mean that those who have not joined the student union do not have to participate in the student union's mission?"
"That's a nice thought." Without a doubt, Meng Huai directly shattered his delusion, "This is a collaboration between the Student Union and the first-year S class. Everyone in the class must participate."
In fact, Su Bei had not thought about not going. After all, it was clear without thinking that this must be a plot point. Who knows what plot he would miss if he didn't go.
After joking for a while, he started to ask a serious question: "Are we all going to the same place?"
Meng Huai shook his head: "That's not the case. The school has different partners. We have to go to three locations this time. The groups have been divided. We will announce them after the monthly exam."
When Su Bei heard the teacher say that the groups had been divided, he had no objection, but Li Shu had some thoughts: "Can we exchange this group privately?"
As the class teacher, Meng Huai naturally knew that he liked to pester Jiang Tianming. He looked at him with a half-smile and spat out three cold words: "No."
After saying that, he was too lazy to give these two not-so-serious guys any more chance to ask questions, so he just waved his hand and signaled them to leave.
After leaving the office, Li Shu checked the time and said, "Let's go watch their exam together. It's just starting now."
Well, I didn't escape after all. We were already in the teaching building, and it was so close, so it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look. Su Bei nodded helplessly, and walked with him to the control department exam place.
They went upstairs and saw a group of people waiting for the exam. They went to the S class. Because the control and assault classes were not taking the exam in the same place, the class was divided into two halves.
Upon seeing the two, Jiang Tianming looked at Su Bei with some surprise: "Didn't you say you couldn't come?"
Su Bei shrugged and uttered the famous Chinese saying: "We are already here."
When Su Bei arrived, the three students in the Control Department of Class S had not yet started the exam. It could be seen that Jiang Tianming and Mo Xiaotian were more relaxed, while Zhou Renjie was huddled in a corner, biting his fingers neurotically and stealing a glance at Mo Xiaotian from time to time.
His face was pale, and he didn't know if it was Su Bei's illusion, but his movements seemed a little stiff. Specifically, when he turned his head, only his head moved, and his shoulders didn't move at all.
After thinking for a while, he called out, "Zhou Renjie, I think you rubbed something on your back, there's white wall dust."
Hearing this, Zhou Renjie was stunned. He was about to turn around and pat his back, but as soon as he moved, his expression suddenly changed and he froze in place. After a while, he kept his posture and said to Su Bei: "...I can't reach behind me, can you help me pat it?"
It seems that there is indeed a problem. Su Bei raised his eyebrows and patted him casually. He controlled the force and deliberately made it a little heavy, but Zhou Renjie held on and did not move.
Now Su Bei had an idea in his mind. If he guessed correctly, Zhou Renjie might have put something on his body, or more precisely, in his stomach, which was why he dared not act rashly now.
In the past, when Zhou Renjie used his supernatural powers to fight against other people, including when fighting against nightmare beasts, he was often forced to vomit out the opponent because he could not bear the damage in his stomach.
Therefore, he spent a long time last semester practicing how to make the defense of his stomach stronger. Now he has become invulnerable to knives and guns, so he can use his supernatural power to swallow more dangerous things.
If he really had something in his stomach, Su Bei was really curious whether this was considered illegal to carry props.
However, since Zhou Renjie dared to do this, he must have already thought about how to solve the problem later.
On the other side, Jiang Tianming and the other two also noticed something. They might not have noticed it at first, but when Su Bei took the initiative to cue Zhou Renjie, they naturally paid attention to it. They naturally found something wrong at first glance.
Like Su Bei, Jiang Tianming also felt that Zhou Renjie was hiding something. He was also struggling with whether this behavior violated the rules. If it did, he would of course need to remind him immediately.
But if he didn't break the rules, his reminder now would be equivalent to ruining Zhou Renjie's plan, making him completely lose the possibility of winning even though he originally had a certain chance of winning.
After hesitating for a while, Jiang Tianming didn't say anything. He planned to wait until the two men finished their match before speaking out. In this way, if Zhou Renjie violated the rules, the match would be invalid.
Wu Mingbai and Lan Subing remained silent after discussing with Jiang Tianming for a while, pretending that they had seen nothing. If there was any problem, it would be revealed eventually, so there was no need to rush.
Because the key plot of their race is the match between Zhou Renjie and Mo Xiaotian, Jiang Tianming was the first to take the test. Every time at this time, Su Bei would sincerely feel that this is indeed a comic book world, and the key plot is always ranked last.
Soon it was Jiang Tianming's turn to play. Every opponent who fought against him had a very complicated expression. Su Bei carefully guessed their expressions and felt that he could read three words from their faces - "Unfair!"
Su Bei became more and more curious about what Jiang Tianming said.
Li Shu was just as curious as he was. He had been looking for the reason why Jiang Tianming could easily break his [illusion] for a long time. He had a hunch that the secret of Jiang Tianming asking the examiner to sign a confidentiality agreement for him during the exam might be the reason he had been looking for.
After realizing this, he was no longer in a hurry. If his judgment was correct, then after the monthly exam was over and the midterm team was established, he would know what secret Jiang Tianming was hiding.
When he thought of this, Li Shu couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
Mo Xiaotian's game was completely unimpressive, he just used air blocks to block the opponent's movement, thus giving us an advantage. It is worth mentioning that he can also use air walls to directly separate a person, preventing him from participating in the battle.
The ability to force the opponent to reduce one member also made the examiner's eyes light up. Although in order to ensure the stability of the air wall, only one person can be isolated, but one less person means one less combat power, and the probability of winning is greatly increased.
However, his ability is not as good as Zhou Renjie's supernatural power. After Zhou Renjie swallows a person into his stomach, the opponent cannot consume the supernatural power outside his stomach and can only struggle inside his stomach.
Although Mo Xiaotian used an air wall to isolate the person, the opponent could still stand still and use his superpowers to disrupt the external situation. He could only restrain melee-type superpower users.
The next player to play was Zhou Renjie. He had also played two games in the morning, but everything was normal then. But things were obviously different in the afternoon. Every opponent he played against was sent to the infirmary.
There were scratches all over their bodies, as if a knife had been running through them.
The examiners and opponents did not understand his ability and thought it was normal. However, those who understood it naturally did not think so. Zhou Renjie's ability was to forcibly isolate a person.
He did develop a "stomach acid" function that can harm opponents who enter his stomach. However, corrosive damage can only cause skin erosion at most, so how can it cause scratches?
Although Mo Xiaotian was a little silly at ordinary times, he was still very sensitive in combat, and of course he noticed something was wrong: "Wow, did you develop some new ability? How could they be injured like this?"
"That's right, this is a new ability I developed." Zhou Renjie replied somewhat unnaturally, "You'll know when you compete with me, don't try to find out now."
Hearing his words, Mo Xiaotian blinked his eyes, and did not disappoint everyone's expectations. He did not show any guilt at all. Instead, he said with sparkling eyes: "I understand, I understand. I am also looking forward to fighting with you!"
Zhou Renjie: “…”
Although he was speechless, he didn't say anything else.
Soon it was the turn of Zhou Renjie and Jiang Tianming's match. The match between the two was very short, and it can be said that the fight was over in just two minutes.
This is very strange. Even if Jiang Tianming has many abilities, he shouldn't be able to defeat Zhou Renjie's team so quickly in a team battle!
After all, after Zhou Renjie sucked him into his stomach, it would take Jiang Tianming a lot of effort to get out. And if he defeated the others, it would take at least five minutes.
Wu Mingbai obviously thought the same thing and asked curiously, "How did you get out so quickly?"
Jiang Tianming was also a little confused, and obviously hadn't reacted yet: "Zhou Renjie asked me to show those things, and he took the initiative to admit defeat."
Seeing their surprised faces, Zhou Renjie who came out from behind snorted coldly: "He can even get the examiner to sign a confidentiality agreement with his opponent. Doesn't that mean he is sure to qualify? Why should I waste my time on him?"
After saying that, his angry expression twisted for a moment, and he said viciously: "You hid it so well! No one knew about it, and you still hid this ability."
He never imagined that Jiang Tianming actually had so many abilities, and could even call those almost unrelated abilities separate supernatural powers!
He only has one superpower, how can he fight against a superpower like Jiang Tianming who has multiple superpowers?
"It's not that no one knows." Wu Mingbai answered cheerfully, "We all know it, don't we?"
Zhou Renjie rolled his eyes and ignored him, glanced at Mo Xiaotian, and started to bite his fingers neurotically aside again.
Since he surrendered to Jiang Tianming just now, he has only one chance left for himself. If he can defeat Mo Xiaotian, he will get a place. If not, then there is no chance.
Time passed by little by little, and soon it was time for Jiang Tianming and Mo Xiaotian to compete. In the end, Jiang Tianming won. At least at this stage, a superpower with multiple superpowers has a great advantage over other superpowers.
When everyone's superpowers cannot create an absolute advantage, having one more superpower can create a lot of combo skills, catching the enemy off guard.
Mo Xiaotian, who came out of the classroom, was not angry at all for losing to Jiang Tianming. Instead, he was very excited and asked him all kinds of questions, just like a little fan who had met his idol.
Li Shu followed eagerly, hoping to get some useful information from Mo Xiaotian. Mo Xiaotian was not strict with his mouth, but he asked so many questions and didn't say a single question that others could understand.
As a result, Li Shu listened for a long time but got nothing. His originally focused pink eyes gradually became empty and lifeless.
Not long after, Si Zhaohua and others came over. Seeing them, Jiang Tianming was a little surprised: "You have all finished the exams."
Si Zhaohua nodded: "We are just fighting one-on-one, so we fight faster."
Compared to group battles, individual fights are definitely much faster. This is why most people in the class chose to go to Si Zhaohua to wait for the results.
"Who won in the end?" The one who asked this question was Lan Subing. She looked curiously between Qi Huang and the wooden iron man.
Among the four people who signed up for the strong attack department, Si Zhaohua definitely has a spot. Ling You will not participate in the competition for the spot. In her mind, the last spot will most likely be between Qi Huang and Mu Tieren.
Wu Mingbai still remembered what Zhao Xiaoyu had said before: "Could it be that the student from Class B won?"
"I win." Qi Huang raised his chin proudly.
The wooden iron man stood beside her, smiled helplessly, and admitted frankly: "Qi Huang is indeed very powerful. Without getting close to her, I am no match for her at all."
Because of the ability to fly, Qi Huang can also be considered a long-range attacker, which gives it a great advantage against close combatants like the Wooden Iron Man.
