Chapter 163

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Jiang Tianming and his team only mentioned Zhou Renjie's matter very quickly and vaguely, saying only that "Zhou Renjie left with them" in order to prevent Si Zhaohua and Ai Baozhu from feeling sad.

Ai Baozhu didn't understand the hidden meaning of this sentence, but Si Zhaohua obviously did. That's why he asked this question.

After hearing his question, even if Ai Baozhu was dumb, she realized something was wrong: "'Zhou Renjie and them left', who are 'they'?"

No one answered, but she figured out the truth on her own: "It was Zhou Renjie who betrayed the Black Flash organization."

When he said the last sentence, Ai Baozhu's face was full of disbelief: "But how is it possible? Is he crazy? How much benefit did the 'Black Flash' organization give him to make him disregard his family and reputation and resolutely choose to betray us?"

From her expression, which is rarely seen in a century, it is not difficult to see that Ai Baozhu is shocked by this matter. You have to know that she is the best in expression management among all the students in Class S, even better than Si Zhaohua. It is not easy for her to show such a distorted expression.

"It may not be entirely due to Black Flash's seduction." Si Zhaohua had already retracted his sad expression and said coldly, "Dissatisfaction with the current situation may not be one of the reasons for his betrayal."

"Are you okay?" Lan Subing asked worriedly. She didn't expect that even though they spoke so cryptically, Si Zhaohua could understand it immediately.

They originally wanted to wait until they returned to school to let the two of them understand each other, so that they could feel better after a period of buffering. But who knew that they would understand everything immediately and could not hide it.

However, facing her question, Si Zhaohua looked completely unaffected and replied calmly: "It's okay. Since he chose to betray us, he is no longer our companion."

This incident did not seem to cause any ripples in his lake-blue eyes. If we had not seen the change in his expression just now, everyone might have thought that Si Zhaohua did not feel anything about Zhou Renjie's betrayal.

But no one was so low in EQ as to expose this, and everyone followed his wishes and stopped talking about it. Ai Baozhu didn't intend to continue asking questions. With so many people seeing it, the betrayal had already become a fact. After she returned to the dormitory, she would ask her parents what they thought about this matter.

Wu Mingbai smiled and changed the subject: "By the way, how have you been these past two days while we were away? Did anything interesting happen?"

The plot points are all there. What interesting things can happen here? Although Ai Baozhu is a little uninterested because of Zhou Renjie's affairs, she, like Si Zhaohua, is a child raised in a big family and has a good control over her emotions.

After thinking for a while, she replied uncertainly, "For me, there is really nothing that can be called interesting. The only thing that can be considered interesting is the fight between me and Elvis."

Even though it did create a small wave of enthusiasm on campus, it really didn’t amount to much. After all, the match between the two of them was unimportant, the attitudes of both sides were unimportant, and the outcome of the match was unimportant.

Su Bei suddenly remembered something and looked at Lan Subing: "Elvis will be on duty again soon. This time he should go to assist the first shift."

In fact, although his special ability is also suitable for assisting, Elvis rarely goes to assist the first class to study. He never thinks that his special ability should be used for assistance. Even if he assists, it is only to assist himself, so there is no point in going to assist the first class.

If you want to learn about the overall situation and how to control your teammates, you can learn the same thing in the control department. There is no need to come to the support department.

However, in order to fight Lan Subing this time, Elvis still planned to stay for two days. [Word Spirit] is also a top-level ability, not a traditional auxiliary system at all.

If it was before, maybe he would have ignored it because of his absolute trust in his ability. But after two draws, Elvis is now a little more cautious, and decided to know both himself and the enemy to win every battle.

"Our class," Lan Subing pointed at herself in surprise, "Are you going to fight me?"

Su Bei nodded, smiled wickedly and gave her a look that said "May the best be for you" and said, "If you don't want to put too much pressure on Jiang Tianming, try to get a draw or above."

There were five people who came to "Alpha Supernatural High School" as exchange students. If three of them tied, even if the remaining two lost, it would not be embarrassing for their school. Or if one of them could win, it would also bring honor to the school.

Now they have tied twice. As long as Lan Subing is tied, Jiang Tianming, who is playing behind her, will not feel any pressure. But if she loses, Jiang Tianming will have a heavy burden.

After understanding what he meant, Lan Subing immediately frowned. Wu Mingbai, who was standing next to him, immediately threatened with a smile: "Try to put pressure on Ah Bing again."

Jiang Tianming said directly to Lan Subing: "Don't listen to Su Bei's nonsense. No matter what the result of your battle is, I will do my best to maintain a draw and win."

Lan Subing was well aware of his self-esteem and nodded when she heard this: "I know, I will also try my best to fight for a draw and win."

Ai Baozhu glared at Su Bei and took Lan Subing's hand: "Let's go, we're at school. Let's go back to the dormitory to wash up, and by the way, I'll tell you about that guy's supernatural power."

Si Zhaohua, who was originally in a gloomy mood because of Zhou Renjie's matter, felt much better after seeing their funny performance. With a faint smile in his eyes, he teased Su Bei: "How does it feel to anger everyone?"

Su Bei shrugged and looked back at him with a smile: "It's very interesting, isn't it?"

Within two days, Su Bei and Elvis both transferred to Lan Subing's class. Because he rarely came to the auxiliary department, the students in this class were not as familiar with him as those in the other two classes, and they looked at the two in surprise.

But soon everyone looked at Lan Subing again, and understood why Elvis, who had not come for thousands of years, suddenly "came to visit".

Since the last time Lan Subing fought two people alone, she became famous in "Alpha Supernatural High School", and she was as famous as Su Bei. After all, in this school where supernatural powers are strictly divided, there are very few people like her who can go to other colleges but take the initiative to go to the auxiliary college.

Especially since Lan Subing's ability is not just an ordinary one that can be used anywhere. She has a top-level [Word Spirit] ability! After knowing her ability, the two students who originally wanted to provoke and defeat the exchange students to become famous in the school are now regretting it.

If they had known that the other party's ability was [Word Spirit], they would not have done such a thankless and blamed task. Originally, based on Lan Subing's mild personality and hair and eye color, they thought that this would be a water element support system. Who could have thought that the soft persimmon they had picked would suddenly turn into a hard stone, hitting them all over the head.

Now, not only the students in their class, but also the students in other classes often looked at them strangely. The two people being looked at could clearly feel that those eyes were not kind, but even had obvious malice.

Because of the exchange students, they did not invite them to the ring. But the two who are familiar with the atmosphere of "Alpha Superpower High School" know very well that once the exchange students leave, they will probably have to spend every day being challenged.

And because the match with Lan Subing brought shame to the school, the teachers probably wouldn't bother to intervene. During this period, they never received a single favorable response from the teachers. Even the most gentle head teacher would leave them alone after criticizing them.

Now the two have discussed with their families about transferring schools as soon as possible.

Back to Lan Subing, when she saw Su Bei, she was still very surprised even though she had received the news a long time ago. Like Si Zhaohua, she also felt that it was a very happy thing to have a companion in the same class with her.

As soon as the class was over, Lan Subing walked from the front of the class to the back to chat with Su Bei, despite everyone's gaze.

She was still a little socially anxious about her deskmate Elvis from Su Bei, but fortunately, Elvis was an internet addict. He spent almost the entire break time playing games and paid no attention to Lan Su Bing, even though Lan Su Bing was his next opponent.

There is no doubt that Lan Subing is not good at speaking, and Su Bei also doesn't like to talk that much. Normally, there should be nothing for the two of them to talk about.

But the experience of the previous two days made Lan Subing very eager to talk in front of her acquaintances, and Su Bei was also willing to listen, so the two of them had a very enjoyable chat.

When talking about Meng Huai's ability [Dragon Rider], Lan Subing showed Su Bei the photo she had taken. The black dragon in the photo was very large, ten meters tall, and looked very majestic because of the contrast with Jiang Tianming.

The black dragon shown in the comics and the black dragon actually seen in reality are completely different. When reading the comics, I didn't feel any emotion except that it was handsome, but when I saw it in real life, I suddenly realized what an awe-inspiring giant it is.

After showing the photos, Lan Subing asked curiously: "By the way, Su Bei, the teacher said that you had guessed his superpowers a long time ago. When did you guess it?"

"I can't remember, but it was after the midterm exam last semester," Su Bei replied. He already had quite a few points at that time, so he didn't attach much importance to the 1,000 points.

Hearing this, Lan Subing exclaimed: "Amazing! After you guessed correctly, did the teacher take you to experience the feeling of riding a dragon? It is really different from the flying carpet we ride here. At that time, I really felt like a dragon rider myself. It was just a little difficult to keep balance on the dragon's back. I had to use my supernatural power to stick to it so as not to fall off."

Su Bei was silent. He also wanted to ride a dragon! As a 16-year-old boy, he still had some fantasies about dragons. Lan Subing's unintentional words stabbed him in the heart, and Su Bei suddenly had the urge to vomit three liters of blood.

He was the first to guess Meng Huai's ability, but in the end, he was not the first to see the dragon or ride it. He could only see the dragon through the photo taken by Lan Subing. And the next time he would see Meng Huai using his ability to carry people was probably a long way off.

What kind of human suffering is this?

When Lan Subing returned to her seat, Elvis asked Su Bei: "Your teacher's ability is [Dragon Rider], and was the picture she showed you just now a dragon?"

When he asked this question, his expression was still as cold and arrogant as ever, but his sparkling eyes betrayed his mood. Like Su Bei, he was not able to resist Long's temptation.

Su Bei saw through Elvis's thoughts at a glance and asked with a smile: "Yes, do you want me to show the photos to others?"

Meng Huai's supernatural power is not a secret. The students don't know about it because they have no connections. But he has studied in the supernatural academy for so many years and is a teacher. How could he not make his supernatural power public?

Therefore, after knowing each other's special abilities, they no longer had to hide it for Meng Huai.

Hearing his words, Elvis nodded immediately. Then he suddenly realized that he was being unreserved, and added, "I just want to judge how powerful this ability is."

This guy's arrogant nature has really been exposed. Su Bei said with a smile: "Since you want to get information, you have to give me some benefits."

Elvis stared at Su Bei for a long time with his eyes wide open. After confirming that he was not joking, he thought about what kind of benefit he should give. He was indeed very curious about what the dragon looked like. Although Su Bei was not the only one who had a photo, he was the only one who was more familiar with Su Bei among these people. If he wanted to see the photo, he had to ask him for it.

Although Elvis was surprised by Su Bei's request for a favor, he was not disgusted. He had seen that Su Bei was a penny-pinching person. If he was disgusted, he would not have continued to associate with him.

His family had taught him that people who openly exchanged benefits were more reliable than those who kept it secret. At least they clearly marked the price, and it was clear when they got along with each other.

Although Elvis felt that if you are friends, you shouldn't seek favors in such small matters, which feels strange, but he also knows that for some people, being willing to give you a chance to trade is actually a gesture of goodwill.

It is normal to have different values, as long as they do not involve bottom lines, just be tolerant of each other when communicating.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of any benefits he could give Su Bei. However, since Su Bei could say so, he must have got the benefits he wanted. So Elvis asked directly: "What do you want?"

"There's something I've been curious about for a long time." Su Bei had really thought about the benefits of asking for it, "Why does your ability consume so little mental energy?"

Everyone has a common understanding in their hearts, that is, time and destiny are both top-level superpowers. So it stands to reason that the mental energy required to turn back time should be similar to that required to change destiny. Even if it is less, it should not allow Elvis to use his superpowers so recklessly in battle.

You have to know that Su Bei has advanced mental power! Advanced mental power is a qualitative leap compared to ordinary mental power. Elvis does not have advanced mental power, but in the use of supernatural powers, he has shown more mental power than him, who has advanced mental power.

This also shows that his supernatural power consumes very little mental energy.

However, the use of superpowers must also follow the law of conservation of energy. Strong superpowers require more mental power as a medium. Since Elvis did not consume too much mental power when performing the time-related superpowers, Su Bei suspected that he was overdrawing something else.

Su Bei had also seen from the previous comics that the author of "The King of Superpowers" liked to do twists and turns. He was a little worried that Elvis was actually a villain, so he had to test it out first.

I didn't expect him to ask this question, but it's not surprising that people noticed my mental power. Elvis raised his eyebrows and replied, "Huh, so you have a curious question too. I'll tell you with reluctance, it's because I can delay the consumption of my mental power."

"Delay the time of mental energy consumption" Su Bei widened his eyes. Is this what he understood? If so, it's too outrageous.

Elvis nodded proudly. It was not easy for him to develop this ability, but fortunately the effect was unexpected: "The mental energy consumed in the battle can be postponed through the supernatural power and released an hour later. Generally, I will prepare a lot of mental crystals in the dormitory and in my schoolbag. After the battle is over, I will absorb the mental energy in the crystals while delivering the mental energy used in the previous battle."

After hearing this answer, even Su Bei was stunned: "...there is such a good thing."

This is too invincible. It is like borrowing some spiritual power from the future in advance, and it is interest-free. As long as the spiritual power consumed is not too much, it can be replenished with spiritual crystals later.

Moreover, Su Bei guessed that his mental power could be "paid in installments". If a total of 10 mental powers were consumed on the field, 3 of the mental power at that time could be replenished, and another 3 could be replenished in the first hour afterwards. After a period of recovery, it could be replenished again in the second hour. In this way, all the mental power consumed in the battle could be replenished by the fourth hour.

Since it is already possible to "loan" spiritual power, Su Bei believes that "installment payments" can also be done.

No wonder Elvis can use his mental power without any scruples in the ring to activate his supernatural powers. With this ability he has developed, he will hardly be troubled by the consumption of supernatural powers.

Damn it, why doesn't he have this ability? If he had this ability, wouldn't he be invincible?

Su Bei was really jealous. He was the one who cheated, but why did he feel that he was not as good as Elvis's self-made "modifier"?

It was also because he didn't have enough imagination before. If he had known that there was such an operation, he would have deceived the forum in the same way. The readers at that time were easy to deceive, after all, they didn't understand them. But now that everyone's personality ability is tending to be perfect, it is difficult to deceive people.

His ability is so strong, and it is related to time. He can even "borrow" mental energy. It seems that "borrowing" other people's time is not a difficult task.

That’s right, the time-related supernatural power made Su Bei think of a word that is mentioned in almost all comics - "immortality".

Can Elvis's powers allow him, or anyone else, to live forever?

Thinking of this, he asked directly: "You have tried to borrow spiritual power, have you tried to borrow life force?"

"I haven't really tried it, but I think it should work," Elvis replied.

Hearing this, Su Bei fell silent. He realized that perhaps because it was not in the comics, the students of "Alpha Superpower High School" did not seem to think that such things would bring any danger to them. This was the case with Ian, and now it was the same with Elvis.

In fact, if there were no comics, they might have been like before and would not have encountered any conspiracies or tricks. But the problem is that now the protagonists have come with comics, and these two are still so carefree. Su Bei always has a premonition that something bad is going to happen to them.

This is not just his imagination. You have to know that in the previous two comic updates, Ian and Elvis both appeared. Needless to say, Elvis is an important figure in this map. And it is strange that Ian can appear in the camera, even if the shots are not many.

The supernatural powers of these two people are related to immortality. If someone pursues immortality, it is very likely that they will attack them.

In this damn comic book world, there will probably be many conspiracies. However, Su Bei was too lazy to remind the other party. First, what he just thought was all speculation. He himself could not be completely sure of something without any evidence, so there was no reason for others to believe it. Second, if I really had such a conspiracy, it would definitely be an important plot point. How could the plot point designed by the author in the outline in advance be modified because of one or two words of his? It couldn't be stopped anyway, and it would only cause trouble for both parties.

Ignoring these problems, and just looking at the current capabilities of the [Hourglass of Time], Su Bei has to say that it is really strong, especially in terms of consuming mental energy, which is much stronger than his supernatural powers.

Because of another "mental power borrowing" function, Elvis does not consume too much mental power when using his supernatural powers. This is why he can use his supernatural powers so many times in a battle with ordinary mental power.

After getting the answer he wanted and feeling that he had obtained a lot of information, Su Bei did not break his promise. He asked Lan Subing for the photo of the dragon that she had taken at that time and handed the phone to Elvis.

The two of them were comparing the black dragons in the TV series with the real black dragons. They were actually quite similar, both had wings, dragon scales, huge bodies, and extraordinary attack power. It made people wonder if the person who first designed the image of the Western dragon was actually a supernatural being who had seen a real dragon.

When discussing this point, Su Bei suddenly thought of a question and asked "Comic Consciousness" curiously in his heart: "In your three-dimensional movies and TV series, is the dragon also in this image?"

Because he hadn't called out to "Comic Consciousness" for a while, "Comic Consciousness" hadn't been staring at him all the time. This time, it sensed his call after a while and gave an affirmative answer: "Yes."

Of course, the author will not use any wild ideas in these minor details. If he designs too much in such unimportant places, the readers will lose the sense of substitution.

Therefore, in his worldview, dragons in comics are what dragons look like, and TV dramas in the comic world are what TV dramas in the outside world look like.

The case was solved, and Su Bei understood it all at once. How could the first person to design a dragon in this world have ever seen a real dragon? It was obvious that the comic book author had only seen this kind of giant dragon, so the dragon in his comic book was also in this form.
