Chapter 217
Zhao Xiaoyu certainly would not let the atmosphere get dull. As soon as she sat down, she smiled and said, "I have been busy with the organizers these past two days, and finally I have time to have a meal with you. I haven't had time to say congratulations yet! I saw that they have already engraved the name of 'Endless Ability Academy' on the medal!"
Hearing this, Jiang Tianming and the others all smiled. Knowing in advance that they had a sure win was a great feeling. Although there was still one more match to go, the outcome was already decided, which made everyone feel relieved.
"Are you ready for the match against the Sky Dome School of Supernatural Powers this afternoon?" Mu Tieren asked with concern. "I saw the performance of Huangfu Mingzhe, he is really strong."
Because he himself was a person with enhanced body, even as a spectator, he could intuitively feel Huangfu Mingzhe's physical quality. He was simply not on the same level as the others.
Jiang Tianming and the others looked at each other, and he took the initiative to speak: "We actually already have a plan, but we haven't finalized it yet."
Tactics are very important in group battles. When the opponent's tactics are exposed in advance, they will have absolute initiative. Just like Meng Huai said, if they can still lose in this situation, then it is their problem.
Just like the "Houde Academy of Supernatural Powers", they prepared special tactics specifically for Huangfu Mingzhe. The reason for the final loss was because the gap in strength was too large. If it wasn't so big and Huangfu Mingzhe couldn't 1v3, the victory and defeat would definitely be reversed.
Only he, Lan Subing, and Wu Mingbai knew the plan Jiang Tianming mentioned. Wu Jin and Mo Xiaotian looked puzzled, but did not say anything. Anyway, they were on the same team, and they would definitely tell each other about their plans before the game started. There was no need to rush.
"That's right!" Ai Baozhu suddenly thought of something and looked at Feng Lan with shining eyes, "Feng Lan, can we win?"
Feng Lan has the ability of [Prophecy], so he should be able to directly predict the result of their game. In fact, Su Bei can do the same, but even if he predicts it, he probably won't tell you, so it's better to ask Feng Lan.
However, Feng Lan did not respond to her question this time. He shook his head and said, "I won't use [Prophecy] for everything."
"Why?" Ai Baozhu asked in confusion. She was not angry, but just curious. If she had the ability of [Prophecy], she would probably use it to see everything before doing anything.
Feng Lan answered succinctly: "The predicted future can be changed."
If he predicts that the "Endless Power Academy" will win, causing everyone to be careless, it is possible that the "Sky Power Academy" will win in the end.
Su Bei chuckled: "Isn't the purpose of prophecy to change the future?"
If it is not for the purpose of changing the future, prophecy would not be very meaningful. But if a bad future can be changed for the better, can a good future not be changed for the worse? And Su Bei knew that Feng Lan had not said one thing, that is, the future changed by his [prophecy] would have an impact on him.
Whether they were supposed to lose but won because of his prediction, or they were supposed to win but failed because of his prediction, it would have an impact on him.
Feng Lan had said before that the greater the deviation of the changed future from the original future, the greater the impact he would receive. Once the fate of the protagonists is changed, it will definitely have a huge impact.
After listening to what they said, Ai Baozhu nodded, not quite understanding: "Then I won't ask anymore. Anyway, we will definitely win!"
She has absolute confidence in her companions, just as she has absolute confidence in herself. How can someone who can become her friend of Abaozhu be ordinary?
"That sounds a bit like something Xiaotian would say." Lan Subing blinked.
When everyone thought about it and found that it was true, they couldn't help laughing. Zhao Xiaoyu looked at Mo Xiaotian curiously: "Speaking of which, Xiaotian, I don't think I've seen you ask questions about Su Bei and Feng Lan's future."
Ai Baozhu's question sounded like something Mo Xiaotian would ask, and he was always very curious, so he should have pestered them to ask questions. But Zhao Xiaoyu carefully recalled what happened before, but he couldn't remember that he had asked the same question.
"Maybe it's because I'm not curious." Mo Xiaotian shook his head.
"Aren't you curious about the future?" Ai Baozhu asked in surprise. She thought that except for those who could see the future, everyone else would be curious about the future.
Mo Xiaotian shook his head and smiled like an idiot: "It would be too boring to know the future in advance! I don't want to know!"
Hearing this, Feng Lan showed a rare smile of surprise and nodded in approval: "It is indeed very boring."
Su Bei also thought so on this point. The future that can be seen is like an unchanging life, which is really boring. Although the future that can be seen can mostly be changed, the surprise is not a surprise, and the accident is not an accident. Even if he changes the original bad thing into a good thing, he will not feel any sense of accomplishment.
"Humph, you are indeed an idiot." Wu Mingbai was originally very curious about the future, but now he couldn't tell what he felt when he heard them say that. He could only snort coldly, "We're done with dinner, let's go back and discuss tactics."
The contestants went back, and those who didn't continued to eat here slowly. Mu Tieren looked at Su Bei and said, "I heard a lot of people in the audience say they want to vote for you, Su Bei, and Zhao Hua and Lan Su Bing said the same. The three of you should have secured your place in the entertainment competition."
Si Zhaohua was quite happy. Although he didn't have high expectations for the entertainment competition, he felt that being selected was a sign of recognition from the audience. Moreover, his personality was that he either didn't participate or he had to be the best. Being liked by the audience was also one of the criteria for being the "best".
Su Bei just curled his lips and said, "Then I really have to thank them."
Knowing Su Bei's temper, Zhao Xiaoyu suppressed her laughter and comforted him: "Be optimistic. Since you can slack off even in official team competitions, wouldn't it be more convenient to slack off in entertainment competitions?"
Su Bei refused to admit this. He immediately put down his chopsticks and refuted righteously: "How could I be slacking off? I was just keeping a low profile. How can I be slacking off when it comes to the work of a superpower?"
Zhao Xiaoyu showed a speechless expression that said "as long as you are happy", then turned to look at Si Zhaohua and Ai Baozhu: "Speaking of which, why did you two not want to play when Wu Jin was on stage?"
She knew her classmates very well. Si Zhaohua and Ai Baozhu were the type of people who relatively liked to be on stage and in the limelight, while Wu Jin was definitely unwilling to do so.
When Zhao Xiaoyu chatted with him before, he learned that he signed up for the auxiliary track because the principal specifically asked him to do so. If he were to choose by himself, he would definitely sign up for the strong attack track, and he would 100% not be selected to compete.
Si Zhaohua was somewhat helpless when asked this question: "We both consumed too much mental energy in the last game, and Teacher Meng didn't let us continue. As for Wu Jin——"
He glanced at Su Bei and said, "Then you have to ask Su Bei."
"You tricked him." Zhao Xiaoyu immediately understood and looked at the calm blond boy next to him, "This is too bad!"
"Come to think of it, I also want to ask, what did you mean by what you said to Wu Jin at that time?" Si Zhaohua asked about Su Bei's answer when Wu Jin questioned him, "What is the right time?"
Regarding this question, Su Bei naturally couldn't tell the answer he really thought in his heart, so he gave another answer: "Why do you think Principal Wu Di insisted that he get a place in the competition?"
Zhao Xiaoyu knew about this, and he naturally knew it too. Principal Wu Di deliberately asked him to sign up for the auxiliary race in order to get a place in the race.
If it was just to give Wu Jin some credit, it was really unnecessary. Whether it was his identity as the son of the principal or his rare ability like [Succubus], it made it easy for him to gain a lot of fame. On the contrary, being a "player who never played in the three-school competition" had the least effect on him.
Therefore, the principal's ultimate goal in letting him participate in the competition must be to let him compete, not to make him a mascot.
As for why they wanted him to fight, it was also very simple. They naturally hoped that Wu Jin could overcome his fear of showing his face in front of the public. Just like what Meng Huai did to Lan Subing, only by letting him face the public could he truly overcome his fear.
Si Zhaohua was a smart man who understood everything immediately. He suddenly realized and said, "You want to fulfill the principal's wish and help Wu Jin eliminate the psychological shadow!"
"That's not the case." Su Bei said honestly, "I just don't want to play."
Everyone: “…”
"Sometimes I really think it's a miracle that you are still alive today," Si Zhaohua said sincerely.
Ai Baozhu also nodded: "You deserve a beating. Fortunately, Wu Jin is not here, otherwise if he gets angry with you and fights with you, and then gets banned from the game, what will happen? Teacher Meng will kill you."
If it was someone else who said this, it would be fine, but Su Bei couldn't stand it when it was the two of them. He refused to be criticized by these two young masters and young ladies: "You two are the least qualified to criticize me, okay!"
Time flies, and it's the last round of the group battle. "Endless Superpower Academy" vs. "Sky Superpower Academy".
The other side still had those five people on the field, and their tactics were obviously exactly the same. It is worth mentioning that through the teachers' investigation and observation of the last "Sky Dome School of Supernatural Powers" match, the supernatural powers of the other supernatural players, except Huangfu Mingzhe, have been basically understood.
One for defense, one for control removal, one for skill enhancement, and one for treatment. It can be said that this is indeed a very complete support team, specially prepared for Huangfu Mingzhe.
After knowing these people's abilities, Si Zhaohua frowned and held back for a long time before uttering: "Why don't I get this treatment?"
Then the next second, he got a slap in the face from Meng Huai.
Meng Huai sneered: "His teammates are trash, are your teammates trash too?"
Then Si Zhaohua received the eager looks from his teammates.
If he nodded, he would be desperate, and even Ai Baozhu would quarrel with him. Si Zhaohua had no choice but to shake his head in frustration and said nothing.
Putting aside the memory of the little episode, Su Bei's gaze fell on the ring through the lounge glass.
In fact, everyone on the stage has already arranged their formation, and the competition officially begins at the referee's command.
Just like the previous round, everyone from the "Sky Dome Supernatural Academy" except Huangfu Mingzhe huddled in a corner of the arena, and the defensive supernatural user provided all-round defense.
Huangfu Mingzhe faced five enemies alone.
His goal was clear, and he went straight to Lan Subing. In the absence of Si Zhaohua, Huangfu Mingzhe believed that the biggest threat to him was Lan Subing, who possessed the supernatural power of [Word Spirit].
What he could think of, Jiang Tianming and others could also think of. Therefore, Lan Subing stood in the middle of the team at the beginning, and it was not easy for Huangfu Mingzhezhe to get close.
And even if he got close to Lan Subing, it would be of no use. Lan Subing was not a true support. The [Word Spirit] ability could do more than just support and control. She was also good at injuring her.
Jiang Tianming and Mo Xiaotian faced Huangfu Mingzhe head-on, Wu Mingbai was behind him, not knowing what was going on, and Wu Jin was slacking off like Su Bei did in the last game. However, Su Bei was slacking off leisurely, while he was slacking off nervously, and at the same time he had to pray in his heart that Huangfu Mingzhe would not come looking for him.
Seeing him in the corner, trying not to attract attention, Su Bei couldn't help but laugh: "Doesn't Wu Jin know that he is more likely to attract attention this way?"
If it had been before, maybe no one would have noticed him. But after he made a shocking comeback after slacking off for a long time in the last game, I'm afraid no one would ignore the opponent who had been unnoticed in the back.
Just as Su Bei thought, Huangfu Mingzhe finally noticed Wu Jin.
He initially wanted to target Lan Subing first, but Lan Subing and Jiang Tianming had such a good understanding of each other, and with the annoying Mo Xiaotian disturbing them, Huangfu Mingzhe had no way to deal with Lan Subing for a while.
But he couldn't keep fighting these three people. In terms of mental strength alone, he definitely couldn't withstand the siege of three people. Keeping the current mode on was also very mentally exhausting for him.
Huangfu Mingzhe had no choice but to change his target, and Wu Jin was his second target.
The "Sky Dome School of Supernatural Powers" had also studied this purple-haired boy, but they didn't find anything. Not to mention other things, they didn't even find out his real supernatural power. All they knew was that he somehow got into the S class and was the son of the principal of the "Endless Supernatural Powers School".
At first, they thought that this person was a well-connected person who was able to enter Class S through his connections with the principal. He was also selected to participate in the competition, so they wanted to give him a pat on the back. But now that this well-connected person was actually able to play, it must not be as simple as they originally investigated.
Before going on stage, the teacher told him to pay more attention to this person, in case he turned out to be the ultimate trump card hidden by the "Infinite Power Academy" and caught them off guard.
Now Huangfu Mingzhe looked at Wu Jin and felt that he did have a big problem. If he didn't have a big problem, why would he hide himself so carefully? Wasn't he just trying to be like Su Bei and perform miracles at the last minute?
Since he couldn't take Lan Subing away for the time being, he might as well take the purple-haired boy away unexpectedly! After figuring this out, Huangfu Mingzhe pretended to fight Jiang Tianming and the others more and more fiercely, but in fact he adjusted the angle and suddenly used the same trick again, teleporting behind Wu Jin.
However, Wu Jin was not a pushover. He had always been on guard against Huang Fu Mingzhe's sudden attack on him. He immediately used his five fingers to form a comb and pulled all the hair in front of his forehead to the back of his head, and fully activated his [Succubus] ability.
The director was also very sensitive and directly projected Wu Jin's absolutely beautiful face on the big screen. For a moment, the whole audience was silent, and Huangfu Mingzhe, who was originally preparing to take action, also stood there in a daze.
"Hiss!" Someone gasped, and the sound was particularly noticeable in the silence of the meeting room. Everyone finally reacted and started to talk.
“Oh my god, this is so beautiful!”
"Mom, I'm in love!"
"What kind of divine looks are these? There is actually such a handsome player!"
"One minute, I want all his information!"
"If you had told me earlier that you were so beautiful, I would have fallen in love with you a long time ago, okay?"
"Wait, isn't Mr. Huangfu's reaction a little wrong?"
"Is it love at first sight?"
"This is clearly controlled!"
As they said, Huangfu Mingzhe was already controlled by Wu Jin. Without any prior preparation, and facing Wu Jin's face at such a close distance, no matter how strong his mental strength was, he would definitely be controlled.
Wu Jin did not ask for much. He knew that among the group of assistants he was protecting there were people with special abilities who could break free from the control, so he did not want to control Huangfu Mingzhe to attack other players of the "Sky Dome Special Ability Academy". He just wanted to get this opponent off the stage.
However, the assistant from "Sky Dome Supernatural Academy" who could break free from control reacted quickly. After realizing that Huangfu Mingzhe was controlled, he immediately used a skill on him.
The pink love in Huangfu Mingzhe's eyes disappeared, and he regained consciousness. After his mind cleared up, he recalled his actions just now, and his whole body instantly turned red with shame, and white smoke seemed to be coming out of his head.
"You're dead!" Huangfu Mingzhe shouted angrily, and then ran straight towards Wu Jin. Unfortunately, Jiang Tianming and the others had already caught up and entangled him, making it impossible for him to cause trouble for Wu Jin. After Wu Jin showed his face, he no longer hid and began to really use his supernatural powers.
His ability had never been used publicly before, so not only his opponent, but even Jiang Tianming and the others didn't know what he could do. But he had never cooperated with Wu Jin before, so he just had to ignore him and protect him.
At this time, Wu Mingbai, who had been silent for a long time, finally made a move. He made a big move, putting his hand on the ground, and then the whole ring began to shake and crack at an extremely fast speed.
Probably no one thought that he could cause such damage directly to the ring. The defensive psychics hiding in the corner of the "Sky Dome School of Psychics" were unable to avoid him, and the fortress they had built with great difficulty was directly overturned!
The defensive esper originally built a fortress out of stone, and stone belongs to the earth element, so it will naturally be restrained by Wu Mingbai's [Earth Element] esper. This is also one of the reasons why Meng Huai let him play.
The reason why he hadn't taken action before was that Wu Ming knew how to break through the enemy's defense without attracting the enemy's attention. He had been secretly investigating the situation inside the arena and letting his [Earth Element] slowly permeate the entire arena.
When he successfully completed the preliminary preparations, the other defense-type esper had no chance to resist. He didn't even have time to react before he was exposed on the empty stage.
The other people who had discussed this plan with Wu Mingbai a long time ago certainly would not miss this great opportunity. Wu Jin quickly controlled the other party's ability to release the control, and then said to Lan Subing: "I have already controlled the blue-haired one."
"Blue Hair" is the control-release mutant on the opposite side.
[Succubus] has a very perverted ability. If someone breaks his control, he will mark them, allowing him to control them more easily.
Of course, this mark control is equivalent to a passive skill, that is, using the face to charm the opponent, but there is no way to order the opponent to do anything, you can only let the opponent do nothing.
Hearing him say that he had already controlled the opponent's most important control-breaking psychic, Lan Subing was surprised at first, but immediately chose to trust her teammate, and began to use [Word Spirit] to control and harass Huangfu Mingzhe.
The reason why she had not been able to use her abilities to their fullest advantage before was because of that person who could release her abilities whenever she used her [Word Spirit]. Now that that person was under control, she could naturally use her abilities to her fullest.
The others rushed towards other supports. Without the protection of the defense system, those supports were like fish on the chopping board and could be easily eliminated. Huangfu Mingzhe could only hold off one person at best, and the rest could only watch them attack their teammates.
At this point, the outcome was decided. All the support players on the other side were eliminated, leaving only Huangfu Mingzhe. No matter how strong he was, he could not stand alone. However, he did not intend to admit defeat. Instead, he raised his head proudly: "Do you think I lose because you eliminated the support players? That's a joke! Next, I will show you what real strength is!"
As he spoke, he suddenly rose into the air like a cloud of mist, and his entire body was emitting a golden light. The light became brighter and brighter, gradually turning him into a small sun, so dazzling that it was blinding.
Si Zhaohua recognized what skill it was at a glance and stood up in surprise: "He can actually use that skill!"
He was talking about the skill that Huangfu Mingzhe used to counter his ultimate move when they were fighting. He originally thought that the opponent, like him, would not be able to use it for a short period of time, but he didn't expect that he could use it again.
"It should be the ability of the support." Su Bei pointed at the support with the ability to enhance skills. "His ability is [Multiplier Amplification]. It makes sense to double the skill, right?"
Before being eliminated, the support had the same white light coming out of him as Huangfu Mingzhe, so Su Bei guessed that he was the one who gave Huangfu Mingzhe the opportunity to use his ultimate move a second time.
Si Zhaohua nodded, with some worry in his eyes. He had personally faced Huangfu Mingzhe at that time, and knew best how powerful his skill was: "His ability is not easy to deal with. Even I had to use up all the energy of 'Divine Judgment' to resist it. Tianming simply refused to -"
The words got stuck in his throat before he could finish, and Si Zhaohua stared blankly at the scene on the arena.
