Chapter 189

However, his pale skin now was not natural, but the result of using a large amount of mental energy just now.

After a while, the blonde suddenly asked, "Have you used your supernatural power?"

Otherwise, she really couldn't understand why the other party was willing to do nothing. It couldn't be that he was thinking of surrendering in defeat from the beginning. Moreover, Su Bei's skin color was a little too white, and his lips were also white. It didn't look like normal white, but rather like - white caused by excessive use of mental power!

Su Bei still looked very sincere: "Yes."

This answer made the blonde freeze. First, she didn't expect him to be so honest. He really answered whatever she asked. Second, she knew that Su Bei's ability was [Destiny Gear]. If he used his ability, what would he use it for?

The blond woman suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately shouted, "Quickly, kill him——"

Before she could finish her words, Su Bei suddenly jumped up and attacked her directly. The two of them were already very close to each other, and Su Bei's explosive power was very strong. After a few moves, he threw the yellow-haired woman off the ring without even giving her any time to react.

Standing at the bottom of the ring with a confused look on her face, the blonde rushed up and shouted in frustration: "Didn't you say you are not good at taijutsu?"

Su Bei stood at the edge of the ring, with a sincere look of apology on his face, but his words were extremely vicious: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be so weak."

"Hiss! Who are you talking about who is weak? If you hadn't suddenly attacked me, how could I have been defeated so quickly?" The blond senior said angrily. Although she had good ethics and didn't continue to remind her partner Su Bei of his problem, she was still eloquent, "You know, my physical skills are also..."

"Be careful!" Suddenly, Jiang Tianming's anxious voice came from behind Su Bei.

However, how could Su Bei, who was always using his mental power, not notice the abnormality behind him? He immediately dodged the bear pounce from the brown-haired senior, then naturally raised his foot and kicked the brown-haired senior off the stage.

"Ah, I tried my best to help you attract his attention." The blond senior sighed and pulled her little friend up.

The brown-haired senior was also somewhat helpless: "He reacted too quickly, as if he knew I was going to attack him from behind."

Su Bei on the stage just smiled and said nothing.

On the other side, the black-haired senior who was exchanging blows with Lan Subing, using [Void] to eliminate the [Word Spirit] when the other party used it, was momentarily attracted by the movement of the brown-haired senior.

Lan Subing, who was experienced in combat, quickly seized the opportunity and fired two [Word Spirits] in succession, successfully sending his opponent off the stage.

Only the blue-haired senior was left on the field from the senior team, and all the junior team members were present. Meng Huai immediately clapped his hands to end the game: "That's enough, the winner has been decided, everyone leave the stage."

"Teacher, I can still..." The blue-haired senior was obviously reluctant to his order.

However, Meng Huai was too lazy to waste time and did not intend to give him this opportunity: "What can you do? Come down quickly!"

Meng Huai's intimidation was undoubtedly huge. The blue-haired senior restrained his expression and walked down coldly. All the seniors looked unhappy, which was normal. It would be difficult for anyone to be happy if they lost to the juniors.

Meng Huai could only sneer at their performance: "Oh, you know you feel bad after losing, but you were so happy just now? You were so happy that you didn't even think about it!"

He pointed at them one by one and said venomously, "You've regressed in your second year of high school, haven't you? I have to ask your head teacher how he teaches you!"

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Su Bei and the others. Everyone's expressions were pretty good. After all, they just won a game, so there was no way they would cry.

“You are very happy, right?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately restrained their expressions. They knew without thinking that Meng Huai was going to teach them a lesson. If they laughed at this time, they would be easily targeted. Although they won, who would say that they would not be criticized if they won? Meng Huai has always been like this, and they are used to it.

"I know how you won." He looked at Su Bei with a half-smile as he spoke, then looked at everyone else, "But their carelessness doesn't mean your real opponents will be careless. Putting all your hopes on one person will only lead to your total loss."

After summarizing their actions, Meng Huai looked at Su Bei again: "Let me ask you your question first. If I'm not mistaken, changing the fate of five people has left you with very little mental energy. Can the little mental energy you have left support you to use your supernatural power again?"

Because of his pale complexion, Su Bei would not show it even if he consumed a little more mental energy. But now that others could easily see that his face was pale, it proved that his mental energy consumption was so great that he could not hide it.

Su Bei shook his head honestly. Because this was the reason for the plot itself, and in the original plot designed by the author, the five of them were probably going to fail, so if they wanted to change the fate of the characters in the plot, they would have to consume more mental energy than usual.

In addition, the positions of the five people's pointers were different, so it was not convenient for him to connect them. So the five people had to adjust the pointers one by one, which consumed more mental energy.

"If Huang Jiaqing had chosen to fight you, you would have been able to make her discover the abnormality without using your superpowers. If she then called others to attack you, do you have any way to protect yourself?"

Facing his question, Su Bei remained calm: "No, but isn't our tactic four protecting one?"

The implication is that if the four of them cannot protect him alone, then it is definitely not his problem.

It should be said that although Su Bei's words may seem like an attempt to shirk responsibility, he is indeed right. He has already accepted the responsibility of driving his opponent off the stage, so the task of protecting him should be handed over to the other four people. If he needs to protect himself, then what is the point of the others?

Anyway, Su Bei was not the focus of this lecture. Meng Huai followed suit and turned to the others, saying, "He has his own character, but what about you? You are really fighting one person at a time, leaving an opponent for Su Bei as well. Can't you figure out your own position?"

Jiang Tianming and his three companions were unable to escape and could only face Meng Huai's fire.

Of course Meng Huai didn't mean to scold them, the issues he pointed out were very pertinent, so even though they were scolded, Jiang Tianming and the others didn't lose their temper at all and just listened to him obediently.

Then they soon realized that Meng Huai was quite lenient towards them. When he scolded the five Qi Huangs, it was like a storm. Compared with the latter, Meng Huai's attitude towards Jiang Tianming and the others could be called gentle.

"You're being a little mean." Huang Jiaqing walked to Su Bei's side, and she saw everything Su Bei did to divert the disaster. She originally thought that this junior was only irritating when dealing with his enemies, but now it seems that he treats everyone equally.

Su Bei certainly would not agree with her assessment of himself, and said seriously: "I just sincerely hope that they can make progress."

Only a fool would believe such nonsense, but Huang Jiaqing did not ask further questions. Instead, he asked the question that really concerned him: "Just now the teacher said that our failure was because of you. Is this the effect of the [Gear of Destiny]?"

When they learned that they needed to assist Meng Huai in training the first-year S class, they specifically learned about the students in the first-year S class who were selected for the three-school competition team.

But these students were surprisingly mysterious, and they only found out about their apparent abilities after some investigation. The others were fine, but the two most curious ones were Jiang Tianming and Su Bei.

There are rumors that Jiang Tianming has more than one superpower, but they have not found out his other superpowers. Of course, there are reasons why they have not found out in detail, but the fact that most people don't know is enough to explain some problems.

As for Su Bei, this person is quite amazing. Everyone knows about his supernatural powers, but no one knows how to use them. Everyone's evaluation of him is mysterious. They don't know how he does it, but Su Bei always gets what he wants.

All in all, it is completely worthy of the title of destiny-related supernatural power.

Naturally, they would not underestimate him. After Huang Jiaqing played her best role, they immediately watched him to prevent him from using his supernatural powers. Although the others were entangled, as long as Huang Jiaqing gave a warning, they would immediately break through the siege and eliminate Su Bei first.

Unfortunately, Huang Jiaqing was fooled by Su Bei's calming performance and didn't realize that he used his supernatural powers. After all, she had been paying attention to Su Bei from the beginning and didn't see him use any supernatural powers.

In fact, even their failure was just due to carelessness in Huang Jiaqing's eyes at first, and had nothing to do with Su Bei. If Meng Huai hadn't pointed it out, they really wouldn't have guessed that their failure was caused by Su Bei.

"If I say it's not, would you believe it?" Su Bei asked, seeming really curious.

Huang Jiaqing twitched his lips at this question, and could only tell the truth: "I don't believe it."

Su Bei smiled politely. Silence is better than words at this moment. If you don't believe me, ask me.

While the two were chatting awkwardly, Meng Huai finally had enough of his scolding. He told them to go back and reflect on their behavior, then waved his hand to signal them to leave. He turned to look at Zhao Xiaoyu and the other four who were watching and asked, "Do you want to compete?"

"No, no." Zhao Xiaoyu refused immediately. What a joke, can they deal with those superpowers? As a superpower who can hardly cause harm to humans, Feng Lan could only predict that there would be no advantage in standing on the stage. The wooden iron man was stronger, but his strength was very unstable. If the four of them went up, they would be sent to the battlefield.

Meng Huai did not force them. Seeing that none of the four of them had such intention, he nodded and let them go. The others also took this opportunity to quickly follow Feng Lan and the other four and run away. They did not want to stay and accept criticism.

Back in the classroom, no one said anything. I don't know who sighed first, but then sighs continued. As a bystander, the wooden iron man spoke first and said, "To be fair, you really didn't cooperate at all."

He was always more tactful in his words. The fact that he could speak so bluntly showed how much they were fighting on their own.

Meng Huai had already criticized this point, and now when Wu Mingbai heard Mu Tieren say it, he sighed, "You don't have that awareness."

They had always fought alone before, and the cooperation between the two groups of five people was relatively good. But when they were separated and teamed up with others, there was no cooperation at all.

Qi Huang also sat in her seat in frustration. She always admitted her mistakes. This time, as one of the only three people in the team who had the ability to save others at that time, she did not react at all. She knew that she was wrong.

"Let's practice more after class. When I practice at home, others always cooperate with me, so I don't have the habit of cooperating with others. I think it will be fine if I practice more."

"Me too, I was too slow to react." Wu Mingbai also admitted his mistake sincerely, "If only my first reaction was to fill up all the cracks in the ground with soil."

The subconscious reaction to his words is that he took care of himself first, so he didn't have time to save others. This is understandable in itself, but it is a big mistake when it comes to teamwork.

It was Mo Xiaotian's turn next. He scratched his head and said, "I... I didn't expect you guys to fall. I'm sorry. I'll try to think more next time."

Everyone: “…”

Well, this is very Mo Xiaotian.

Li Shu and Wu Jin looked at each other. They both fell down at the beginning. Theoretically, this game had nothing to do with them. After all, they had no countermeasures against that kind of superpower. It was unavoidable for them to be the first to die when their teammates were not strong enough.

But that doesn't mean they are right.

Everyone knows the importance of seizing the initiative in a game. Both of them have preemptive abilities. They should release their abilities right away, just like Huang Jiaqing, the "Natural Disaster" ability user, without giving others a chance to react.

They were slow to react, so they could only passively take the beating.

Moreover, they knew they were going to fall, but they did not react in time to look for their companions. If the mountain does not come to me, I will come to the mountain. In the restrained situation, hugging a teammate's thigh is a good choice, but none of them thought of it.

After they apologized to each other, they came to Jiang Tianming's group of five. Meng Huai's teachings were correct. They should have tried to ensure Su Bei's safety at the beginning. Instead of accidentally believing that he could handle the crisis, he let Huang Jiaqing get close to him.

A careful analysis shows that this is actually a problem of poor team awareness. Even though they discussed tactics in advance, when the real fight started they all fought on their own, having only discussed in advance who each would deal with.

If they could work together to fight the enemy, they might be able to block them all and prevent them from approaching Su Bei. But this would be difficult, as the seniors' coordination would definitely be much better than theirs. If everyone fought a team battle, Jiang Tianming and his four companions might not be able to defeat their opponents, and it might also expose Su Bei's special features in this battle.

From this perspective, their plan was not a problem. But that was also due to the seniors' crazy attempts to give them opportunities. Maybe they looked down on first-year esper users, but they were careless enough in this game.

If they didn't want to test Jiang Tianming and his team's individual strength, they would have deliberately let their opponents play 1v1 in the team battle. If they had cooperated, Jiang Tianming and his team wouldn't have been able to last long with their style of play, not to mention waiting for Su Bei's ability to work.

This was also the reason why Meng Huai was so furious with the team of seniors. They lost the game that was originally a sure win because of their carelessness, so they really deserved to be scolded.

It can be said that there was no winner in this competition, and everyone was scolded harshly by the teacher equally.

Meng Huai may become the biggest winner.

Comparatively speaking, Su Bei was the one who was scolded less. Judging from the results, he did not make any mistakes. But don't be fooled by his indifference on the surface. In fact, he was thinking secretly. Su Bei was also very lacking in coordination. And unlike most psychics, his psychic ability was not suitable for coordination.

How to coordinate and make teammates do the same action so that their pointers are consistent, which is convenient for him to adjust, or let them force the opponent to put in the same posture, so that he can change the opponent's pointer

Isn't that funny!

It's not just Su Bei. In a team of ten players, Wu Jin is actually more inclined to fight alone. His [Succubus] ability is not well controlled. Once he exerts his power, it is very likely that he and his teammates will be controlled as well.

However, they are also different. Wu Jin is good at taking the initiative and controlling one of the opponents first, directly turning 5V5 into 6V4.

Su Bei is more suitable for working behind the scenes, quietly adjusting the pointer in a safe and hidden place, controlling the fate of the players. It is completely fine to let him face the enemy without using his superpowers, but once he uses his superpowers, especially those with strong offensive power, he will have no way to turn around.

But they are all in the team, so it is crucial to cooperate with teammates. This is exactly what Su Bei is worried about. How can he cooperate with his teammates with a special ability like [Destiny Gear]? Or should he only cooperate with his teammates in using gear attacks, and still use other abilities on his own?

Su Bei sighed and rubbed his brows with a headache. Forget it, there is no need to be so stubborn. If there is really a need for his cooperation, it will be revealed sooner or later in actual combat. If there is no need for his cooperation, there is no need for him to be sociable.

Anyway, given his character, there won't be any problem even if he doesn't cooperate, it will just put more pressure on the protagonists. But as long as he can maximize his abilities, he'll be a good teammate.

Although everyone is determined to cooperate with each other and improve tacit understanding, some things are not so easy to do. Just like mathematics, no matter how determined you are to learn, you may not be able to learn well.

Cooperation often means restraining one's edge, but powerful superpowers also bring about a stronger sense of autonomy, and all of the ten selected people hope that they can play a greater role.

The two people in the offensive department wanted to output with all their strength, and the two people in the control department wanted others to accept their arrangements. The abilities of the defensive department were easy to affect the performance of others, and the auxiliary department was always ignored. As for the special department, the only problem of Su Bei and Li Shu was that they did not need the cooperation of others at all.

It can be said that if they are separated, they are each a king, but if they are united, they are a group of loose sand.

In addition to the tacit cooperation, the other trainings were carried out with ease. The academy has not been doing this for so many years. Their training arrangements are scientific, safe and effective.

Under such devilish training, in just one month, everyone could clearly feel that their physical fitness and reaction ability had improved significantly.

The biggest problem was the team battle. During this period, they played against the seniors several times and were defeated badly without exception. After being scolded by Meng Huai before, the seniors never dared to be careless again. They tried their best to cooperate every time and did not hold back at all.

They were selected as the main team of the "Infinite Power Academy" to participate in the three-school competition last time, and their strength is unquestionable. Originally, in terms of combat experience, the "seasoned" Jiang Tianming and others were not much behind, but they were not as good as the other side in terms of physical fitness and coordination, so they were defeated repeatedly.

There is no way, the senior group has its own way of cooperating. [Natural Disaster] and [Frigid Ice] can create favorable terrain, whether it is a tsunami, earthquake, or even the spread of miasma. Combined with the [Death Stare] that can make people feel on the verge of death, all opponents can be convinced that they are in a natural disaster that is impossible to resist.

The two who are responsible for assisting are the support and defense types. The former resolves the enemy's abilities, while the latter blocks the enemy's movements. Yes, abilities like [Earth Armor] can not only put on armor for yourself, but also for the opponent.

However, if the player is wearing thin but strong diamond armor, then the enemy is wearing heavy and thick mud armor that has almost no defensive power.

Compared with their tacit cooperation, the cooperation of Jiang Tianming and others was indeed a mess. They were unable to pay attention to their teammates' movements in time, and naturally could not alleviate their teammates' predicament in time.

Even if you help out occasionally, you may be caught by the enemy and your pace may be disrupted. Then the situation will get worse and failure will come even faster.

Jiang Tianming and others did have ways to cooperate, but they always lacked this awareness. After several training sessions, Meng Huai finally made a decision: "Get ready, there is an outing on Friday."

"Outing activities!" Everyone was surprised. You know, they have been staying in the school for special training since they started preparing for the three-school competition. Now they can finally go out, and everyone is very excited.

The wooden iron man asked the question that everyone was most concerned about: "Where are we going?"

"The processing plant of 'Life Technology Machinery Co., Ltd.', some of you should have used their products before," Meng Huai said as he looked at Si Zhaohua.

As expected, Si Zhaohua revealed an understanding expression: "It is their company. Their products are really amazing. I didn't expect the college would allow us to visit."

Not only him, Feng Lan, Ai Baozhu and Qi Huang also looked familiar with the situation, and it was obvious that they had known about the company "Life Technology Machinery Co., Ltd." for a long time.

Facing the puzzled looks of the crowd, Qi Huang kindly explained: "You can think of this company as a robot manufacturing company in the ordinary world. Its founder has the ability to give life to mechanical objects, which is equivalent to a robot with a certain degree of autonomous consciousness."

This is why they were surprised just now. The "Infinite Power Academy" was so powerful that it could even get them tickets to a place like this. But think about it, as the only three schools in the country that train people with special powers, no matter which one they are, their status is very transcendent, and it is normal for them to cooperate with big companies.
