Chapter 242
Jiang Tianming considered too much and chose to handle it himself. Li Shu supported Jiang Tianming's plan, while Ling You had no idea about it. But Su Bei was different. He was a very opinionated person and would not go with the flow unless he was willing.
This is certainly not to praise him for being more reliable than others, but based on Meng Huai's understanding of Su Bei, this guy is definitely not someone who turns a blind eye to danger and is willing to take risks with others for the sake of "greater justice".
According to his idea, Su Bei should have contacted the government as soon as he saw the Life Stone, and then left Changsheng Village as soon as possible. How could he say nothing, wait there all the time, and finally be besieged by nightmare beasts with others, putting himself in such a dangerous situation?
"Everything will be fine in the end anyway." Su Bei answered honestly, although he was only half honest. This was indeed the main reason why he was willing to take the risk. As long as he protected himself, the protagonist group would definitely be able to lead him out of danger.
But on the other hand, he really needed a chance to have private access to the Life Stone. If he told the government directly, he would hardly have access to the Life Stone.
Another important point is that Su Bei is a very "sensible" comic character. He will not destroy the plot designed by the author. If the government had arrived in time, what would have happened to the protagonists?
Meng Huai glanced at him distrustfully, then looked away: "From now on, you won't be required to go out on missions. Just study hard in the academy. Now go downstairs and run twenty laps as punishment. I'll be watching from above."
No way, there is a corporal punishment item. When they heard the last sentence, everyone frowned. Although twenty laps was not a lot for them now, it was definitely not easy to complete. Especially when they hadn't eaten dinner yet.
But there was nothing we could do. Meng Huai always kept his word, so everyone could only go downstairs and do exercises obediently.
"I'm sorry, I got you into trouble." Jiang Tianming apologized while running. He felt that it was because he insisted on staying that they experienced danger and were punished by the teacher.
Li Shu immediately shook his head, his pink eyes revealing a stubborn look: "I am willing, as long as I can stay by your side..."
Before he could finish, Jiang Tianming put on a mask of pain and interrupted him in an unbearable manner: "Try to be mean to me again."
"Oh, I've been discovered." Li Shu's expression returned to normal and he smiled innocently.
After they finished talking, Ling You said in a cold and concise voice: "Don't blame you, I agreed with your idea at that time."
If she didn't agree with it and had her own means of saving her life, she would not put herself in danger so easily.
Seeing that everyone else had expressed their opinions, Su Bei naturally did not want to be outdone: "I also feel that you have caused me trouble. How about this, you go up and talk to the teacher and see if you can run those 20 laps for me."
Jiang Tianming was very upset: "No, the only person I haven't let down is you!"
He was sure that Su Bei chose to stay in Changsheng Village after knowing that there was a Life Stone not because of him. This guy clearly knew about the existence of the Life Stone a long time ago, and he definitely stayed because of his own selfish reasons.
Su Bei curled his lips when he found out that he had not fooled anyone. Seeing that they were all moving slowly and seemed not to be hungry, he immediately became malicious.
He exerted force on his feet and easily surpassed everyone and rushed out. After running half a lap under the puzzled gazes of others, he smiled and said to the person opposite him: "You guys run slowly. When I finish running, I will go to the cafeteria to buy dinner, and then come to the playground to watch you eat."
It's like the crowd holding watermelons outside the fence watching the students stand at attention during military training. It's useless, but it's really fun.
Jiang Tianming and others were immediately furious: "Su Bei, you dog!"
The news that the Life Stone had been found quickly spread throughout the supernatural world, but there was no news at all about its ability to prolong life. It was obviously deliberately concealed by the government.
But this is normal. If the news is kept secret, the enemy they face is only the Nightmare Beast's attack. If the news is not kept secret, the enemies they face include humans.
Although the effect of the Life Stone on prolonging life is weak and long-lasting, as long as it can prolong life, it is a good treasure for humans.
Because the Life Stone was not well-known, it was only during the Nightmare Beast Riot that everyone realized the important role of the Life Stone in the Nightmare Beast. Therefore, the matter of Su Bei and others retrieving the Life Stone did not cause any commotion.
Even in Class S, there were only two people who were more concerned about this matter. One was Mo Xiaotian, who was always curious about everything, and the other was very unexpected - Feng Lan.
"I noticed that you seem to be very interested in this matter." After answering Feng Lan's question "There are several high-level nightmare beasts chasing them", Su Bei looked at him leisurely.
If Mo Xiaotian was interested in the Life Stone, then Feng Lan was definitely interested in what happened after they got the Life Stone, because the questions he asked were all about the ownership of the Life Stone and the Nightmare Beast that was chasing them.
Although he would find Feng Lan curious about anything, he found it particularly strange that she was curious about this matter.
Hearing this, Feng Lan pursed her pale lips and said, "I always have a bad feeling. I am ready to use [Prophecy]."
As the owner of the [Prophecy] power, he is very sensitive to the future. Generally speaking, when he has a bad premonition, it means that something bad may really happen next.
However, because Feng Lan's [Prophecy] was used not long ago and the CD is not ready yet, he came to Su Bei to ask for the details first.
As for what bad things would happen, both of them knew in their hearts. How could the Nightmare Beasts let it go if their treasures were taken by them?
I'm afraid there will be a tough battle ahead.
The next day at noon, Su Bei did not wait for Feng Lan's prophecy, but first received a notification from "Manga Consciousness": "The King of Superpowers has been updated, please check it out."
I opened my phone and clicked on the comic page. As soon as the story started, they were already on the road in the car. Driver Wang was calling the government and the college leaders, while the others were in the car observing the situation outside.
In the next scene, the comic borrowed Su Bei's mental power, and showed the army of nightmare beasts approaching here madly from the perspective covered by mental power. These are all low-level and medium-level nightmare beasts.
After that, everyone showed off their skills and used their own methods to destroy the nightmare beast. From Su Bei's own perspective, the best performance in this section was undoubtedly him and Ling You.
Ling You's [Plague] ability is naturally prepared for multiplayer combat. The more enemies there are, the greater the effect of her ability. In the comics, her invisible ability turns green. From a bird's-eye view, you can see that in a short while, the green aura quickly spreads to the entire group of nightmare beasts. Then the group of nightmare beasts quickly became ill and were soon all destroyed.
With such a powerful ability, it's no wonder that the academy doesn't let her go out on missions. After all, she is too easy to be feared by nightmare beasts. If Ling You is Su Bei's enemy, Su Bei will definitely try his best to kill her as soon as possible.
As for Su Bei's performance, it goes without saying that with just a snap of his fingers, all the nightmare beasts suddenly died. But judging from the surface effect, it was even more shocking than Ling You's ability.
"Oh my god, each one is stronger than the other!"
"Ling You is so handsome. The effect of [Plague] is usually invisible, but at this time it really kills everyone."
"How come they all died in an instant!"
"Su Bei, you are my God!"
"If it's not Su Bei, what kind of ability is this? It's too strong!"
There was nothing to read about the next part about Su Bei attracting the high-level nightmare beast, so he quickly skipped back. He had already skipped the entire section, but suddenly remembered that there was still a question that had not been answered, so he quickly returned.
"Poof!" When they all closed their eyes, Ling You wiped her sparkling lips with her hand, and the next second the girl's nightmare beast fell in front of them. Su Bei really couldn't control himself and burst out laughing.
He wondered why Ling You was so unwilling to say anything. If he were in her place, he wouldn't want to say anything either. It was thanks to the girl's nightmare beast that it was able to find such a hiding place. It was really not easy to be discovered.
The barrage of comments was also full of “Hahahaha”. With this plot, everyone would want to laugh except Ling You himself.
After Meng Huai arrived, the author gave a plot of Teacher Meng. His dragon is really handsome, and there is more than one, which is twice as handsome. Standing on the dragon, even without armor, it looks majestic. Su Bei is really envious of him, and he also wants such a handsome superpower!
Su Bei had never seen Meng Huai use his full strength, but he did get a glimpse of it from this comic update. Meng Huai stood there alone, facing countless low- and medium-level nightmare beasts, and three high-level nightmare beasts. The silver dragon could easily deal with the low- and medium-level nightmare beasts, while Meng Huai himself took the black dragon to deal with the three high-level nightmare beasts.
However, after a few collisions, the three high-level nightmare beasts were devoured by the black dragon. You know, it is difficult for the four of them to deal with a high-level nightmare beast, but Meng Huai can kill three high-level nightmare beasts instantly.
This strength gap is really huge.
Su Bei knew most of the subsequent plot, the supernatural government and the "Endless Supernatural Academy" were arguing over the ownership of the Life Stone. Originally, neither side wanted this thing, but after Su Bei and his team finished telling their story, the supernatural government's attitude immediately took a 360-degree turn.
Finally, they placed the Life Stone in the underground treasury of the supernatural government, a place that should be safe. But after the person in charge of placing the Life Stone left, a dark eye suddenly appeared on the wall behind.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the eye of a nightmare beast, and this place has already been discovered by the nightmare beast.
At the end of the comic, someone from the "Infinite Power Academy" came to test Zhou Min's power. The machine made a "beep" sound and then emitted a green light - Zhou Min had power.
Seeing that Zhou Min was actually detected to have superpowers, even though the comic did not reveal her superpowers until the very end, readers still screamed in surprise.
“Ahhhhh, there really is a supernatural power!!!”
"So what Su Bei said is right. Zhou Min did know the ancestor's plan through his supernatural powers."
"The ending is stuck here and it really gives me goosebumps"
"Zhou Min really knows, right?
"I'm really curious about what Zhou Min's special ability is."
After reading the comic, Su Bei fell into deep thought. First of all, the last plot, Zhou Min really has superpowers. Although the comic did not draw her specific superpowers, it is likely that she can know the plans of the ancestors.
Judging from Zhou Min's age, he will probably enroll in the "Infinite Power Academy" next year. Su Bei doesn't think he will be involved in any important plot, but this should be considered an interesting easter egg for everyone.
Another thing that caught his attention was the pair of eyes that appeared a little further ahead where the supernatural government had placed the Life Stone. The pure black color made Su Bei guess that it might be the ability of the Nightmare Beast, which meant that the Nightmare Beast had already touched the location of the Life Stone.
Should we alert the supernatural government about this news? After thinking about it, Su Bei is still too lazy to meddle in other people's business. If the supernatural government can't even find that their treasure vault has been invaded, then they are such a waste.
Moreover, since the author put this paragraph in the comic, it proves that there will definitely be related chain plots in the future. What if he reminds the author in advance and destroys the author's arrangement?
In short, he will not take the initiative to remind people, but if the superpower government is stable, he will not hide it.
When he opened the forum, he found that the readers were mainly discussing the two points he was concerned about. In addition, there was another post that Su Bei was more interested in, which was an assessment of their strength.
"It feels like the supernatural world and Nightmare Beast are about to go to war, and there's also a sense of impending storm in the "Black Flash" organization, so I'm taking stock of the main characters' combat power in advance."
[Data Maniac No.0: This time, Jiang Tianming and his team have shown their strength again. There was a three-school competition some time ago, so I think the strength rankings can be updated. We will compare comprehensive strength here, and support will also be included. I will go through them one by one, and you can take your time to read them.
First of all, this is a purely subjective ranking. You can disagree but don't argue. If you want an objective ranking, please urge the official to draw up a list.
[Data Maniac No.1 (OP): The first place is undoubtedly Su Bei, the T0 character in "Superpower King". Maybe Su Bei's attack power is not as strong as Si Zhaohua, but he is undoubtedly the strongest in Class S. If the two really compare, I believe Su Bei will definitely win. ]
【No.2: Okay, okay, I like to see the strength rankings the most!】
[No.3: I feel like there will be a lot of scolding in this building, so I moved a small stool in advance]
【No.4 replied to No.3:
Prophet, be careful of being stabbed.
【No.5: Beichu is so cool!】
[No.6: Northern Jiangsu’s strength is well deserved]
[No.7: There is no way, the fate system is too buggy]
[No.8: I feel like I haven’t seen Su Bei use his full strength yet, but based on what he has shown, he is definitely number one.]
[Data Maniac No.9 (OP): The next T1 team is Si Zhaohua and Jiang Tianming. I think their combat power is relatively equal, one is depth, the other is breadth. Don't say Jiang Jiang is not as strong as Si Zhaohua, he has defeated Si Zhaohua! You can't think he is not strong enough just because he is approachable. Give our protagonist enough respect.]
【No.10: Our Jiang Jiang is just that strong!】
[No.11: I don’t accept that T1 doesn’t have Bingbing!]
[No.12: Many people do overlook Jiang Jiang’s strength]
【No.13: In this segment, Brother Bei is the undisputed T0!】
[No.14: Si Zhaohua was able to reach T1, and "Divine Judgment" accounted for a small part of the factor]
【……】
[Data Maniac No.33 (OP): Next up are Lan Subing and Ling You. Lan Subing's [Word Spirit] is unique. Ah Bing is not as strong as the previous ones, I think it's purely because her mental power is not enough. If she had Su Bei's advanced mental power, with her special ability, she should be able to compete with Su Bei at T0 now.
Similarly, Ling You's ability is also unique. When facing a large number of enemies, only Su Bei can barely compete with her (it was only after this chapter was updated that I realized that Su Bei was so comprehensive). So overall, I ranked her in this tier. 】
[No.34: The original poster is quite objective. Ling You is indeed very strong, but it is not obvious at ordinary times.]
[No.35: Ah Bing's mental strength is really damaged. It's really frustrating that I can only use a little bit of [Word Spirit] every time!]
[No.36: Blind guess that the next wave will have Qi Huang]
【No.37: Why is Qi Huang not in T2】
【No.38 replied to No.37:
Although Qi Huang is also very strong, she will definitely lose to Lan Subing, so she can only be ranked lower. 】
[No.39: The current ranking of the original poster is the same as what I thought, I don’t know what will happen in the future]
[No.40: Wu Mingliang is going to fall to a place where he won’t even be in T3. Who still remembers that he is one of the protagonists?]
[No.41: I still think Bing should be in T1]
[No.42: There are too many subjective factors. How can we judge Ling You's strength? She is strong, but if there are not enough enemies, her strength will be greatly reduced.]
【No.43 replied to No.42:
So hasn’t the OP already stacked the armor in advance?】
【……】
[Data Maniac No.85 (OP): Next are Wu Mingbai, Qi Huang, and Mo Xiaotian. Although Wu Mingbai's [Earth Element] has undergone a minor evolution, it is not reflected much in the comics. He is only slightly powerful in terms of being able to create earthquakes, but he is still a bit behind the other two protagonists. Lao Ze strengthens Wu Mingbai!
Qi Huang is a bit like Si Zhaohua's substitute, both are strong attack type. But I feel that she can develop into a big boss like Teacher Meng, but she is not that strong yet. This kind of elemental system feels a bit late bloomer
Mo Xiaotian has control, attack, and defense, so he should be ranked higher. But his ability development is too poor. How come such a powerful ability as [Air] has only a limited effect?
【No.86: Thank you for understanding that I am not in T4】
[No.87: Si Zhaohua is right to be the replacement...]
【No.88 replied to No.87:
Our little phoenix is no one's equal. She is herself! Si Zhaohua mainly relied on his family background to get that skill. If he didn't have that skill, he wouldn't be much stronger than Qi Huang.
[No.89: I hope Wu Mingliang can improve quickly and don’t want him to be left behind by others]
【No.90 replied to No.88:
If you want to refute her, just refute her. Why are you trying to drag Zhaohua down?】
[No.91: As expected, they are going to quarrel]
[No.92: Apart from other things, I really agree with Mo Xiaotian's evaluation. [Air] How come he didn't use such a powerful ability? I haven't even seen him suffocate the enemy! But if you say Mo Xiaotian is not smart, at least in terms of supernatural powers, I don't agree. If he is not smart, how could he develop an ability like "Bomb Cube"? It's really strange. It feels like the old thief forgot to design a growth path for him.]
【No.93 replied to No.92:
Yes! You think our Xiaotian has no fans? Why is his ability development so poor?】
[No.94: Lao Zi strengthens the T3 character!]
[No.95: The character who hasn't appeared yet is already crying silently]
【No.96: I guess it won’t be the bottom one】
【No.97 replied to No.96:
You recommend
【No.98 replied to No.97:
Wind and Mist
【No.99 replied to No.98:
That’s really possible…】
[No.100: Where is Wu Jin? Isn't it too much that he is not even in T3? Our [Succubus] has super powerful abilities, okay?]
[No.101: The above person is right. Wu Jinlian can directly control Huangfu Mingzhe. He can definitely go to T3!]
[No.102: I feel like he should be the next one]
【……】
[Data Maniac No.151 (OP): There is only one person in the next tier, Wu Jin. His strength is not clearly described, but both his passive and self-skills are very strong. It's just that he relies too much on the opponent's mental strength and his own attack power is relatively weak, so I put him here. ]
[Data Maniac No.152 (OP): The T4 team is Iron Man, Ai Baozhu, and Li Shu. Each of them has its own strengths and is quite powerful in their respective fields.
I added some speculation to the ranking of the wooden iron man. After the last incident, the old thief didn't give him much footage. But it is known that he has the ability to fuse machines because he got the heart of the heart beast, so he will only be stronger than before. In this case, I think he is at least T4
There is nothing much to say about Ai Baozhu and Li Shu. One focuses too much on defense and his attack power is too weak, which results in his overall strength not being able to improve. The other is neither better nor worse than the best. Once facing a strong person, it is easy for him to fail to perform [illusion] due to insufficient mental strength. Although they are both very strong at times, I still put them in this level.]
[No.153: How can Li Shu be so weak?]
[No.154: So touching, I thought the Iron Man was going to T5]
[No.155: Li Shu is very strong! It's just that the old thief didn't give him any room to show his strength! If there is any illusion-type dungeon, he will definitely kill everyone.]
【No.156 replied to No.155:
Isn’t that still very limiting?]
【……】
[Data Maniac No.233 (OP): The remaining Zhao Xiaoyu and Feng Lan are grouped together. Their current individual speed, attack and defense are not good enough, but their functionality is very high, and they are countermeasure cards for "Alien King"]
[No.234: As expected, Feng Lan was ranked last]
【No.235: Actually, I think that if we talk purely about fighting skills, they are both quite strong. Xiaoyu was previously recognized as the one who studied fighting skills more seriously, and was among the top students in Class S. Fenglan should have studied hard because of that ability, but unfortunately, after adding the supernatural power, the two of them are not worth mentioning in the class.】
