Chapter 165

After all the students were sent out to the toilets in the school, there were only three people left in the class. Jiang Tianming looked at Su Bei with a complicated expression. He thought that after more than a semester of getting along with him, he already knew Su Bei's abilities very well.

But now it seems that Jiang Tianming feels that his understanding of Su Bei is far from enough. He thought that Su Bei could control five or six people at most, but he could control a full class of 23 people, which was beyond Jiang Tianming's cognition.

"How did you do it?" Compared to his hesitation, Elvis was much more straightforward, "You gave so many people stomachaches at once. Your ability can control more than just one person."

"If the conditions are right, I can control the whole world." Su Bei told the truth, although this truth was almost impossible to succeed.

When the fate of all people in the world can form a straight line or a circle, he can control others by adjusting one person. But the premise is that he can see the fate compasses of all people in the world and form them into a circle.

But this is obviously an impossible thing.

"So your supernatural powers have nothing to do with mental strength," Elvis speculated.

That would be great. Su Bei shook his head regretfully: "It's not that my ability consumes a lot of mental energy, but I have a lot of mental energy myself."

It can be said with certainty that Su Bei's current mental power is almost the highest among his peers. After all, not everyone can achieve high mental power at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

After a while, the teacher came back and announced to the three people left in the classroom, especially Su Bei, "This class has been changed to a self-study class. The reason for the stomachaches of the others has been found out. They all ate the chocolate brought from Charles's house. The chocolate was expired, so it caused the students to have diarrhea."

Just hearing this, it seems that Su Bei has nothing to do with it. But no matter who has seen the situation at that time, they will not think so. It is obvious that this is diarrhea caused by Su Bei's supernatural power, but in the end, Su Bei was completely removed.

If he didn't know it was impossible, he would even suspect Charles was Su Bei's accomplice.

"What a miraculous power! Can you tell me how you pulled off this prank?" the teacher asked Su Bei curiously. "By the way, I haven't introduced myself to you yet. I'm Lake, the head teacher of the Control Department's Class 1."

Mr. Lake has a very neat dark brown buzz cut, but he doesn't look tough, instead he has a calm and mature vibe, which fits the stereotype of a controlling department.

"It is their fate to have a stomachache today." Su Bei said mysteriously, "Who can explain the matter of fate clearly, right?"

This is not to explain, all blamed on fate. Su Bei did not say that diarrhea was indeed their fate, but this fate was forced upon them by him.

After the first class, the students in class 1 came back one after another. They were not all there yet, because there were limited toilets on campus, and some students could not wait and were sent to use the toilet outside the school.

It can be said that after this prank in Northern Jiangsu, they felt that they had lost all face.

But that's how the School of Control is. You can't get angry because of a prank. Unless you've never done a prank before, you can't afford to play it.

Have any of them ever done any mischief? The answer is no. Therefore, even though they were severely punished, some of them could not even openly seek justice for themselves.

Even because of Su Bei's trick, everyone in the class was angry, but also in awe. This prank was much more powerful than their usual small fights, and it pranked the whole class in one go.

The pranks he played on everyone were so serious that they didn't dare to imagine what kind of revenge they would suffer if someone provoked him. And they couldn't beat him, so it was better not to provoke him.

Just as Jiang Tianming said, when one's strength and ability to play pranks are strong enough, people will no longer think of playing pranks on him. Su Bei's show of force was very successful.

The day ended without any disturbance. On the way to the cafeteria after school, Jiang Tianming couldn't help but sigh: "My first day here was completely different from yours today. They wanted to give me a warning, but you gave them a warning."

"I can't help it. Who gave me your experience as a lesson?" Su Bei replied teasingly, "If you come to the special department class one, I can also give you some experience."

Although he did not have the opportunity to join the special department class, Jiang Tianming still asked curiously: "What experience?"

He was not simply curious about this question, but mainly wanted to know what kind of trouble Su Bei had in his class. Of course, he was just curious, not wanting to gloat over the misfortune.

"Don't compete with them in superpowers, it's better to compete in fighting skills." Su Bei was certainly not talking about something embarrassing himself, and he had never made a fool of himself here.

"Martial arts" Jiang Tianming didn't expect this to be the answer. He asked in confusion, "Are their martial arts skills very poor?"

Su Bei nodded affirmatively: "Very bad."

If Jiang Tianming came to fight them in a wheel battle, he would be able to defeat at least five, if not thirty. His fighting skills were also very high. Perhaps it was because of his experience as an orphan that Jiang Tianming and Wu Mingbai were more ruthless in fighting. This reckless spirit was enough to make up for some of the lack of skills.

The five people gathered in the cafeteria, and Jiang Tianming told them what happened today. Su Bei was once again surprised. Everyone couldn't help but think of the time when he eliminated five opponents at once during the midterm exam.

There were five at that time, but now there are 23. And according to Jiang Tianming's description, Su Bei didn't seem to have any mental overdraft at all, and his face didn't even turn pale, which shows that the consumption was not great.

"Your energy consumption is really a mystery." Ai Baozhu fanned the pink fan, "Is the advanced mental power so powerful?"

As the eldest daughter of a supernatural family, she had a lot of experience and had seen people with high-level spiritual power. One of their family's priests and her father were such people, so Ai Baozhu had a deep understanding of high-level spiritual power.

She knew very well that compared with ordinary mental power, advanced mental power was indeed a qualitative leap in terms of quantity, quality, and recovery speed, but it was by no means inexhaustible.

But from the way Su Bei acted, it really seemed like his mental power was inexhaustible. This was of course impossible, so Ai Baozhu could only wonder if the mental power he consumed when using his supernatural powers was particularly small.

Su Bei carried his plate and walked to the corner where they often went. After hearing what A Baozhu said, he blinked and thought about how to respond.

He wanted to tell A Baozhu at this time that he didn't consume his energy when using his supernatural powers. If this plot could be put into the comics, then he really wouldn't have to consume his energy when using his supernatural powers, which would definitely be a great thing for him.

But the problem is that he has said before that the use of superpowers must also follow the law of conservation of energy. Just like ordinary people using superpowers, if they consume too much mental energy and cause mental energy to be exhausted, then the next use will consume vitality.

Similarly, if he confirmed that using his supernatural powers did not consume mental energy, then for the sake of rationality, the comics would definitely arrange another kind of consumable for him.

Using supernatural powers by consuming mental energy is a very cost-effective way to go. Changing to another way may not be better than this one. If it turns into a direct consumption of vitality, or a consumption of the future, or getting yourself entangled in karma, it will be very uneconomical.

Therefore, he would not open his mouth and cause trouble for himself until he was completely sure.

However, the foreshadowing should still be left. If he really comes up with a way to replace mental power in the future without causing himself to lose too much supernatural power consumables, the foreshadowing left now can become an opportunity to give himself a blood transfusion at that time.

After thinking for a moment, Su Bei replied casually: "Maybe it's not my mental energy that I'm consuming."

"What is that?" Ai Baozhu asked curiously.

The foreshadowing was already laid out in the beginning, so the latter part can be covered up with jokes. Su Bei said jokingly: "Of course it's vitality. Don't you know that you can use supernatural powers by consuming vitality?"

Ai Baozhu: “…”

You don't need to think to know that this must be a joke. If Su Bei had really been wasting his vitality, he would have been sick by now, or turned into an old man. How could he be so lively?

She rolled her eyes in a rare and ungraceful manner: "You are talking nonsense. Use up one of your life force and show me how it works."

Another two days passed, and during these two days, Elvis had already discovered something was wrong with Jiang Tianming. He had used the [Frost Mage] once before in the ring, but the one he used in these two days' classes was obviously another kind of supernatural power.

That ability to manipulate objects obviously has nothing to do with ice-related abilities, so after class that day, Elvis asked Su Bei directly: "Is Jiang Tianming a dual-ability owner?"

This kind of psychic is rare, and many ordinary psychics don't know that there are psychics with dual powers or even multiple powers. But Elvis, as the direct disciple of the principal of "Alpha Psychic High School", naturally has this knowledge.

"You should ask Jiang Tianming." Su Bei did not answer this question. During the midterm exam, after Jiang Tianming announced to the examiner that he had three superpowers, in order to show his talents in the final exam, Meng Huai asked him to only show two abilities and the last one would be announced during the three-school competition.

As for the two abilities that can be announced, they should not be told directly. Only by letting others discover them by themselves will they believe the truth that Jiang Tianming only has two abilities. Publicizing it will only arouse suspicion, so Meng Huai's order to the others is not to reveal Jiang Tianming's abilities to the outside world.

Therefore, Su Bei directly asked Elvis to ask himself.

Time passed quickly and it was Friday. Elvis finally invited Jiang Tianming.

During this period, Su Bei learned a lot in the School of Control. The specialized class of "Alpha Superpower High School" is indeed much more detailed in teaching the current types of superpowers than the large class of "Endless Superpower Academy".

Of course, this is not to say that the teaching at "Infinite Power Academy" is bad, it's just that they are more comprehensive, and with a wider scope, the depth is inevitably weaker.

When Lan Subing asked which was more important, depth or breadth, Meng Huai sneered: "The School of Superpowers is responsible for teaching you how to deal with various types of enemies. As for the depth, you can't research your own superpowers by yourself, so how much can the school teach you?"

Obviously, he is a hard-core, broad-minded person.

Jiang Tianming was the last exchange student that Elvis wanted to challenge. After this match, according to the previous practice, the exchange students would not accept any more challenges. Therefore, this match was packed with people. Not only the first-year students, but also the second- and third-year students came to watch, just like the match in Su Bei.

This time it was a quarry map, and it seemed that Jiang Tianming had requested it. But Su Bei said that since his [Frost Mage] ability had already been exposed, it would be better to have a map with more water. Then he could use the principle of water freezing into ice to make it easier to use his ability.

But on second thought, how could Elvis not know this? How could he give Jiang Tianming this opportunity? Perhaps this quarry map was the result of their discussion.

Knowing that most non-lethal physical damage would be useless to Elvis, Jiang Tianming did not immediately control the stones to attack him, but directly used the ultimate move of the [Frost Mage] - a ranged group attack.

Icy spikes half a person's height began to appear on the ground. If you didn't dodge in time, you would easily be pierced through.

This group attack skill can effectively prevent Elvis from using time travel to avoid damage. Unfortunately, due to insufficient mental strength, Jiang Tianming cannot fill the entire arena with his ultimate skill like the real owner of the [Frost Mage]. Otherwise, even Elvis would be unable to turn around.

This is the ability of a powerful psychic. Even if they are not as strong as some other psychics, they can still be invincible with their strong mental strength and the various strange abilities they have developed.

But Elvis is no pushover. He has said before that the mental energy consumed by his supernatural power can be used to repay after the game. Although this time cannot be maintained for too long, as long as it is not consumed too much, it is generally fine.

However, most of the opponents he encountered before did not require him to use his supernatural powers on themselves, so Elvis never showed his ability to reverse time on a large scale.

Since he had to do this now, he would not be stingy and immediately applied his supernatural power to the entire ring, rewinding time. The next second, Jiang Tianming's ultimate move originally placed on the ring was directly swallowed up by time.

Seeing this scene, everyone below the stage couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. Jiang Tianming's pupils also shrank slightly, and his eyes were solemn. You know, although his superpowers were swallowed up, his mental strength was not. He had already spent what he should have spent. If Elvis came to this a few more times, his mental strength would not be able to hold up.

And just looking at Elvis's expression, it seemed that the operation just now had no effect on him at all. Jiang Tianming's heart sank again after discovering this. At the same time, he was full of doubts. Doesn't his ability require the consumption of mental energy?

Sometimes he really felt that he couldn't understand these people with special powers. This was true for Su Bei and Elvis. He was really curious about the process of how they used their powers.

After all, the fight was still going on. Jiang Tianming withdrew his thoughts and began to think about what he should do now. He certainly couldn't test how many rounds Elvis could last. With the previous experience of Su Bei, he would not underestimate anyone's mental strength.

But if Elvis keeps recalling the powers he used, then he can't fly up and be invincible, can't directly seal the opponent's powers, and can't make the opponent unable to escape. Isn't he just going to give up?

Jiang Tianming used a little mental energy to deal with the enemy while his brain was working rapidly to think of a solution.

While he was thinking, Elvis went straight forward to fight him in close combat. He had not yet developed the ability to attack directly with time. In fact, he had one, but that ability consumed too much mental energy and was very cruel, so he generally did not use it. So he could only fight.

However, because he can add time to his opponent and slow him down, even though his fighting skills are not particularly outstanding, when it comes to a real fight, Elvis still has few rivals.

Even Su Bei couldn't beat him in this situation, so Jiang Tianming certainly couldn't beat him either. He was dealing with Elvis, trying to stay away from the edge of the ring while minimizing his injuries. On the other hand, he began to take advantage of the fight to walk around the entire ring and make secret plans.

This is what Jiang Tianming is best at. He has no idea how many times he has turned defeat into victory through secret planning.

Most people didn't see his intention, they could only see that Jiang Tianming was being beaten back by Elvis.

"He should be the weakest one among you exchange students," someone said to sow discord between the Su Bei group and the others, "Why are you on the same team with him?"

As soon as he said this, the four of them frowned and looked at him. The troublemaker was frightened and stepped back subconsciously. Si Zhaohua raised his chin slightly and showed his arrogance, saying sarcastically: "If I don't team up with him, then I'm on the same team with you?"

The troublemaker was choked by his words, and saw the blue-haired girl with the top-level supernatural power of [Word Spirit] staring at him coldly with her aqua blue eyes: "Shut up."

You are still too polite, Su Bei shook his head. If it were him, he would have already said the word "get out".

Returning his gaze to the ring, Jiang Tianming had already guided Elvis to walk across most of the ring without leaving any traces, and they were about to return to the starting point. For someone who was not so proficient in fighting, it was difficult to find out how his position affected the overall ring situation during the fight. Especially when the opponent was stronger than him, he had to use his supernatural powers to precisely control the opponent.

After more than a semester of getting along with each other, and with the help of comics, Su Bei knew Jiang Tianming's fighting style very well. When he saw him start to move back in a large scale, he guessed that Jiang Tianming might be laying some foreshadowing. However, he didn't know what he was going to do.

Elvis on the ring also felt something was wrong. He certainly didn't notice what Jiang Tianming was going to do at first, and attacked him as he retreated. But after being led around for a long time, no matter how stupid he was, he should have realized something was wrong.

"What did you do?" Elvis frowned, and at the same time, his supernatural power covered the entire ring and himself. If something suddenly happened, he could quickly move to another place. If there was any change in the ring, he could also use his supernatural power to instantly change it back to its previous state.

However, he reacted too late, as Jiang Tianming had already basically completed his layout. He once again activated the ability he had used before, and the entire field was instantly covered with ice spikes.

Although Elvis didn't understand why he would use a trick that had already been cracked once, the situation on the field forced him to use his supernatural power to push back the ice spikes. After all, these things appeared frequently and had high lethality. If he failed to dodge them once, he would be in trouble.

As soon as the ultimate move was rescheduled by time, the next second, rocks rose up from all over the arena. The number of these rocks was very astonishing, and when they attacked Elvis in unison, there was no way to avoid them.

Everyone was also shocked by this sudden scene. Ai Baozhu, who was talking to Jiang Tianming about his classmate, was a little confused: "I remember that [Earth Element] was Wu Mingliang's ability. When did Jiang Tianming exchange abilities with him?"

"Does he have so much mental power?" Si Zhaohua also widened his eyes. How much mental power would it take to control so many stones at once? When Jiang Tianming competed with them in school before, he had never controlled so many things at once.

It was Lan Subing, who was most familiar with him, who explained to everyone: "This is an ability he developed from his [Object Control] ability. He attached his mental power to the objects in advance and used his mental power to control them. In this way, as long as these stones are not made to move in different postures, it is equivalent to controlling only one object, so even if the mental power that was separated is added, the overall mental power consumption is not much."

Simply put, he combined the fragments into a whole, connecting all these floating stones into a whole object, so it is much easier to control.

If there were fewer stones or they didn't cover all directions, Elvis could still resist them. But the problem was that there were too many controlled stones, covering the entire ring, so he had no way to avoid them.

Being attacked by all these stones at once would definitely be fatal, and because Elvis had just used a large-scale time reversal, he couldn't use it again in a short period of time to make these stones go back. Moreover, they were placed at different times, and even if most of them were reversing, it would take a lot of mental energy.

Elvis can indeed use a lot of mental power in battle because he can borrow mental power from the future. But it is not unlimited. If it exceeds too much and the short-term future cannot make up for it, he will also need to consume vitality.

Therefore, facing the sharp stones that filled the ring and almost blocked his vision, although Elvis looked very unhappy, he still decisively chose to admit defeat: "I give up."

He was not a shameless person. The situation was already hopeless. Resisting and refusing to admit defeat would only make him look like he couldn't afford to play. It was because of his mistake that Jiang Tianming had the opportunity to make his move.

For a moment, the field was in complete silence. No one expected that Elvis, who possessed the "Hourglass", would lose to the exchange student.

After a full minute, the referee seemed to have just reacted and announced loudly: "Jiang Tianming wins!"
