Chapter 188

After a brief introduction, seeing that everyone had no objection, Meng Huai began to let everyone do a simple cooperation training. To cooperate well, the most important thing is trust, so the first training is for one person to fall on his back and let the other person behind him catch him.

This training itself is very simple. Given the physical condition of a psychic, it is impossible for them to catch another person, so it completely tests the trust of the person lying on his back in the person behind him.

Among the fifteen people in Class S, no, now it’s fourteen people, some people do trust each other very much, such as Jiang Tianming’s trio, Ai Baozhu and Si Zhaohua, Mo Xiaotian and everyone.

But other people obviously don't have such trust. Even though they are willing to entrust their backs to their companions when they encounter danger, it is only a rational choice, not complete trust.

Everyone knew that the person behind them would not be able to catch them, but when they fell, they would still subconsciously stiffen their bodies and feel nervous. This had nothing to do with reason, it was an instinctive reaction of the body, and it also showed that they really did not trust their companions that much.

This is human nature, but sometimes a tiny hesitation in a fight can give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage, so training is still necessary.

The main people who received training were the ten regular candidates and the reserve candidates. Although the remaining four people also took part in the trials, Meng Huai's requirements for them were not that strict.

The main purpose of group cooperation is to deal with a large number of nightmare beasts. In this case, the coordination does not need to be so detailed. However, Jiang Tianming and his team are facing top opponents who are also human beings, so they need to focus on training.

The next few days were mainly spent on related training. After Meng Huai felt that it was almost ready, he specially found a team of seniors from Class S of Grade 12 to practice with them.

This arrangement certainly did not mean that he felt Jiang Tianming and others were ready to fight in a team, but rather that they wanted to do it once so that the teachers and students could see their shortcomings for themselves.

The espers who were selected for the S class were undoubtedly very powerful. These five espers introduced their abilities at the beginning. They were [Natural Disaster], [Cold Ice], [Nothingness], [Earth Armor], and [Death Gaze].

They correspond to the special system, strong attack system, auxiliary system, defense system and control system respectively.

They were also the students who represented "Alpha Supernatural High School" in the first-year three-school competition last year.

The first team to face them was the reserve team, Qi Huang and others. After a brief discussion, in order to avoid being accused of bullying the weak, the seniors only sent four people to the field. The one who did not go on the field was a superpower with the [Earth Armor] superpower.

To be honest, when a team does not play defense, unless they are the kind of team that pursues extreme offense and treats offense as defense, otherwise they are looking down on the opponent's offensive power.

Qi Huang and the others also understood this unspoken rule, and they were a little angry. After all, they were all favored children, so how could they tolerate being looked down upon by others? Especially when it was four against five, which was almost an open display of contempt.

The seniors all had the composure of being in their senior year, and one senior even smiled and nodded at a few of her rivals, looking relaxed and comfortable, with no sign of stress at all.

The reason why they didn't put up defense wasn't entirely because of what Qi Huang had in mind. The main reason was that they knew in advance that Wu Ming's superpower was [Earth Element]. This pure elemental system is very restrained against superpowers derived from elements.

Being selected into Class S, Wu Mingli's [Earth Element] ability must be strong. If he were to directly take away his [Earth Armor], it might cause unnecessary trouble.

This is the real reason why they didn't let the defensive team play, but it also seems like they look down on their opponents.

As soon as he saw the two sides like this, Su Bei guessed that Qi Huang and his team would not win. If the seniors had ridiculed them, it would be fine, but since they said nothing, they would not be cannon fodder to be slapped in the face.

Originally, he thought that even if Wu Mingbai and the others could not win, they could at least hold on for a while and drain most of the enemy's capabilities.

Others did not even have his humble mentality, and were full of hope for victory. Who knew that Qi Huang and his team not only did not win, but even one of them was beaten down almost as soon as they came on stage.

The [Natural Disaster] psychic directly simulated the scene of an earthquake, while the [Extreme Ice] psychic used the "Ice Age" skill, and with the former, he directly created a map of the glacial rift on the stage. Of course, Qi Huang and the others were not pushovers, and they reacted instantly. Qi Huang used the [Flame Phoenix] psychic to fly directly, while Mo Xiaotian used an air block to lift himself up. Wu Mingbai conjured up a stone to give himself a place to stand.

The worst were Li Shu and Wu Jin, whose abilities were spiritual and they had no chance to activate them. Without anyone to help them, they fell straight down.

Wu Mingbai did try to help, but he was a step too late. By the time he filled the cracks with soil, Li Shu and Wu Jin had already fallen in.

They lost two players at the start, but that was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that everyone outside the field had already discovered their problem - they did not cooperate with their teammates and did not have the idea of ​​helping their teammates.

Suddenly, the air cube under Mo Xiaotian disappeared inexplicably. He fell down without any preparation. Before others could react, a sharp icicle took advantage of the gap when Mo Xiaotian was unable to move and instantly eliminated him.

When he got outside the ring, Mo Xiaotian quickly wrapped himself in a blanket that he had prepared in advance. Next to him were Li Shu and Wu Jin, both of whom were shivering from the cold, with extremely ugly faces. This look was partly because of the cold, and partly because they lost too quickly.

Even Wu Jin, who had no desire to win or lose, couldn't calm down. Although he had always known the disadvantages of his abilities, he couldn't help feeling unhappy and uneasy when he really faced the problem.

It was not a pleasant feeling to fall into an extremely cold ice cave. Mo Xiaotian was freezing cold, but he still asked curiously, "My superpower just disappeared. Was it the superpower of that black-haired senior sister?"

He was referring to the senior with the ability of [Nothingness], who could suddenly make her ability disappear. I guess this was the only ability that could do that.

Meng Huai nodded and briefly introduced the black-haired senior's ability: "She can make objects disappear by touching them."

"Awesome!" Mo Xiaotian said in amazement, "This sound sounds really powerful, but can it only make objects disappear? What about living things?"

"That's fine." Meng Huai wasn't surprised that he could think of this, "But it will consume a lot of mental energy, and there are some special requirements."

Mo Xiaotian nodded without asking any more questions, and said excitedly: "I was too slow to react this time. I still want to compete with my senior sister again. The teachers are not going to leave directly after this game, right?"

"That's not the case. From now on, they will be your assistant coaches for your team battle training. However, their mission is only to coach the team competition. If you want to fight her 1v1, you need to negotiate on your own."

After finishing speaking, Meng Huai looked at the game again. At this time, Qi Huang and Wu Mingbai were the only ones left. They were no match for four people and were quickly defeated by the four opponents.

The blue-haired boy who possessed [Extreme Ice] said expressionlessly: "Too weak."

He didn't seem to be mocking, he was just stating a fact. However, this was what made it even more uncomfortable. They were only one year older, but they were able to crush the team in a team battle. It was definitely not that Wu Mingbai and the others were suppressed by their superpowers, but rather the double suppression of information and coordination.

Because of the disastrous defeat, even though Senior Blue Hair said so, Qi Huang and the others did not refute. It was not because they were defeated that they lost their spirit, but since they could not beat them for the time being, they naturally had to lie low and conserve their energy for a while.

Unable to watch the scene of the new and old students provoking each other, Meng Huai said "tsk", turned to look at Jiang Tianming and the other four: "Okay, now the reserve team has been wiped out. So what about you? Do you want to compete with the seniors in the regular team?"

He did not immediately point out the mistakes made by the reserve team in the previous match, but instead planned to let everyone get hit once before starting to speak.

Jiang Tianming and the others looked at each other and finally nodded. After watching the match between Wu Ming and the other four, they had no confidence in winning. But they would not lose anything if they competed or lost, and it would also let them know how much they lacked.

"Can we discuss tactics in advance?" Jiang Tianming asked after nodding. They didn't know much about the other party's abilities. Abilities like [Nothingness] were very cheating and hard to defend against. If they started fighting right away like Wu Mingliang and the others did, they would probably be killed instantly.

Hearing this, Meng Huai nodded and sneered: "Finally you have grown some brains. I'll give you ten minutes."

Ignoring his ridicule, everyone gathered together to discuss tactics. Jiang Tianming spoke first: "I'm afraid we are not as good as the seniors in terms of tacit understanding and combat experience. We have to think of a way to win in one fell swoop."

"If we can win in one move, we won't have to worry now..." Lan Subing said softly.

This was a very sharp remark. Jiang Tianming coughed and said, "Sometimes a surprise attack can also defeat the enemy in one move."

The implication is to see if they can launch a sneak attack.

"Let's think about how to deal with their first attack first. Among the five of us, only Zhaohua can fly." Ai Baozhu said dejectedly. She didn't want to fall down. Looking at those who fell down and were shivering after coming out, she could tell that they must be feeling bad.

This is indeed a problem. Si Zhaohua frowned and said, "I can take all four of you with me and fly, but you will definitely not be able to avoid their long-range attacks."

The more people he brings with him, the slower he goes. From the fact that the blue-haired senior quickly released an icicle at the falling Mo Xiaotian, it can be seen that his supernatural power is released very quickly. Si Zhaohua doesn't think he can escape with others, but if he is alone, he can still give it a try.

"Actually, I should be able to do it." Jiang Tianming raised his hand and said, the reason why he didn't mention this just now was because he had already thought of a way, "As long as I control the objects on the stage to build a bridge for us to pass, everyone should be able to find a place to stay."

The ring where they will compete is a five-meter-high platform with obstacles such as wooden boards and stones placed on it. According to Meng Huai, after their last inspection, the "Endless Ability Academy" also plans to repair the ring so that it can have multiple maps.

But repairs always take time, so for now let's just patch up these broken pieces.

Jiang Tianming could control both wooden boards and stones. As long as he used his special ability in time, he could prevent everyone from falling. Everyone still trusted Jiang Tianming's reaction ability, so they put aside the problem and started thinking about how to defeat the seniors after they had gained a firm foothold.

At this time, Si Zhaohua noticed that Su Bei had been silent, and suspected that this guy was trying to slack off: "Su Bei, do you have any ideas?"

Hearing his name, Su Bei came back to his senses immediately and started to talk nonsense: "How about this, I surrender first, then they will definitely let down their guard, and then it will be much easier for you to launch a sneak attack. What do you think?"

The other four people: "..."

Jiang Tianming said with a fake smile: "Why don't you go tell Teacher Meng about your plan? He will definitely be touched by your consideration for us."

It was impossible to go. Su Bei coughed, and his brain worked quickly. He said seriously: "If you can make me survive for a while, I can make them step down."

It was a pity that he hadn't learned the skill book of instant skills yet, otherwise, if he was given a short time, he could have gotten rid of those people. There was a point in the "Destiny Compass" called "Go Out", which was very suitable for this kind of competition.

But even with a skill book, it would take at least a week to learn a skill. He still had one day left, so at most he could make the fate he adjusted take effect faster. But it was impossible to activate it instantly, so he had to make sure he could stay on the stage for enough time.

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Tianming and the other three were overjoyed. Of course they believed that Su Bei could do this, after all, he had done similar operations many times before. With the power of destiny, it was understandable that he could do anything.

"If I use my supernatural power to protect only the two of us, we should be able to hold out for a while even if they besiege us." Ai Baozhu said confidently. She was still very confident in her supernatural power.

Lan Subing thought about what she could do, or which opponent she could target most effectively: "Then I will try my best to control the senior sister with the ability of [Void], so that she won't make your ability disappear."

"I am facing the enemy." Si Zhaohua said concisely. His ability can only protect himself at most, and has no ability to protect others. But as long as he attracts the enemy's attention, he can achieve the effect of attacking instead of defending.

Finally, it's Jiang Tianming. He already had his mission, which was to prevent everyone from falling into the rift caused by [Natural Disaster]. Then he just had to pick another opponent to delay time.

Now he is asking a crucial question: "How long do you need us to hold on for you?"

The seniors were all very strong, and if they really fought, they would definitely lose, so they had to find a way to cheat. If Su Bei's ability took a long time to activate, it would be useless to them.

"Five minutes." Su Bei replied. Usually after he changed the pointer, the change should appear in about five minutes at the latest.

If they lose before five minutes, then it can also be understood that the pointer has played a role, because after they lose, the opponent will naturally leave the ring.

And if they continue to insist on not being eliminated, then the five opponents whose fate he has changed will be forced to go offline under the forced arrangement of fate.

Five minutes is not a long time. If they can't hold on for this amount of time, they might as well just give up. After hearing this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before Jiang Tianming and the others showed their happy expressions, Su Bei raised the corners of his mouth and said, "But I don't want to win that much."

He had a chance to use his powers to win, but why would he do this? Winning the practice match would not do him any good, and it might also cause Meng Huai to change his plan, which was a bit outweighing the gains.

The four people who knew Su Bei's temper were not even angry, and quickly used the last bit of time to think about how to make him agree. Soon Ai Baozhu spoke: "How about money, spirit crystals, etc."

"No." Su Bei refused decisively. He had all of these.

"How about taking a day off tomorrow?" Jiang Tianming had an idea again, "I want to find a way to ask for a day off for you and your teacher, and I guarantee there won't be any problems."

As soon as these words came out, Su Bei's eyes lit up: "Deal."

At the same time, the brown-haired senior was also observing his juniors. Seeing that they were chatting enthusiastically, he smiled and said to his friend: "What do you think they can do to deal with us?"

"The powers of these people are all quite powerful." The blonde girl with the power of [Natural Disaster] pointed at them one by one and said, "Angels, Word Spirits, Destiny, Special Defense, and Multiple Powers. Our academy is really promising, attracting so many geniuses."

"No matter what method we use, it's all in vain." The blue-haired young man crossed his arms and said coldly.

The black-haired girl next to him nodded with a cold expression, indicating that she agreed with what he said.

The blonde girl shook her head and stood up: "It looks like they have finished their discussion, let's get ready for the fight."

Five people walked onto the stage, and Meng Huai, as the referee, announced the start of the competition. Almost immediately, the blonde girl used her old trick again, cooperating with the [Extreme Ice] Psychic to create a glacial rift.

It was obvious that he looked down on them. If he had a little respect for them, he would not have used the same move when facing two waves of opponents. However, this was a good thing for Jiang Tianming and others, as they were still worried that the opponent would change their moves and catch them off guard.

According to the previous discussion, Jiang Tianming immediately activated [Object Control] to manipulate the wooden boards to block some of the cracks. At the same time, he moved the large stone to the feet of his teammates to give them a temporary place to stay.

Because he was mentally prepared in advance, his reaction speed was extremely fast, and he didn't let any of his teammates fall. Such performance naturally attracted the attention of the opponent. The black-haired girl with the ability of [Nothingness] quickly approached Jiang Tianming, intending to get rid of him first.

However, before she could get close, a female voice sounded: "Ding."

Seeing that she was entangled, the blue-haired senior used icicles to directly attack the five opponents, but all of them were broken by Si Zhaohua's feathers. The icicles were shattered in the air and hail fell to the ground.

Si Zhaohua flew in front of him, blocking his view of other people: "Your opponent is me."

"Heh, you're not qualified to be my opponent." The blue-haired senior curled his lips coldly and started fighting with him quickly.

At this moment, Ai Baozhu suddenly noticed that the silver-haired senior in the opposing team suddenly had a strange light in his eyes and was looking at where Su Bei was.

I remember the teacher just mentioned that there was a senior whose special ability was [Death Gaze]. I'm afraid this is the one.

Fearing that he would affect their plan, Ai Baozhu immediately activated the [Gorgeous Domain] to wrap the two of them, and elegantly fanned the pink plush fan in the pink space: "Staring at people is very rude~"

The last person to come to Jiang Tianming was the brown-haired boy. He smiled innocently and said, "It seems that we can only fight each other. Let's see if you can break through my defense."

As soon as he finished speaking, a suit of diamond armor suddenly appeared on his body. Not only him, but his five teammates also had armor on their bodies. Although the armor was made of diamonds, it was very thin and light, and did not affect the movement at all. It was also very beautiful, and to be honest, it really did not fit the stereotype of the name of the supernatural power [Earth Armor].

The last remaining group was the blonde girl from [Natural Disaster] and Su Bei. The blonde girl smiled and said, "I'm not very good at taijutsu, how about you?"

"I'm not very good either." Su Bei said sincerely.

The blonde girl seemed to believe it and suggested kindly, "Since we are all special students and not good at fighting, why don't we just hang out here? What do you think?"

She seemed sincere when she said this, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that it is not the case at all. She has already used her superpower. With the strength of the superpower [Natural Disaster], I am afraid she will not be able to use it again in a short time.

In other words, she was simply getting something for nothing, exchanging her own supernatural powers, which she could no longer use, for Su Bei's supernatural powers, which he could still use.

However, Su Bei directly agreed to such an obvious trick: "Okay, sit here, this stone is just right for watching the show."

Next to him was a relatively high boulder, and it was located at the edge of the stage. It was a good place to watch the show without being easily affected, just as Su Bei said.

Seeing that he agreed so readily, the blond woman immediately became alert and wondered if there was a scam. Could it be that Su Bei wanted to trick her into letting down her guard and then eliminate her?

But it didn't matter, since she had already used her special ability, it wouldn't matter if she was eliminated now. So after hesitating for a while, the blonde chose to sit next to him.

The other people on the field, including Mr. Meng Huai, were all upset. They were still fighting on the stage, but these two just sat down like brothers. Can they please respect the competition?

The two who made them feel very unhappy were chatting casually. The blond senior looked at Su Bei's profile with envy: "Your skin is so good and very white. I guess you don't need skin care products at all, right?"

Su Bei nodded. He didn't even have facial cleanser, so he just used soap to wash his face. Some people are just born with natural beauty. Yes, he was referring to himself and the group of protagonists over there.

None of the main characters in this comic have bad skin. Even the chubby Zhou Renjie and the rough-looking wooden iron man have very smooth skin.
