Chapter 279
Blood is of course something completely different from meteorite fragments, but if you think about it carefully, collecting a large amount of blood without a container is actually a bit similar to collecting and destroying meteorite fragments. Both are about gathering something that is difficult to collect.
Although one is stone and the other is water, they are not elementalists after all. They are specialists, and if they can really find a way to complete the task, it is likely that they can do everything.
But that should have nothing to do with the three of them, unless it is clear that with their abilities, it would be good enough to complete the exam, and it is impossible for them to provide inspiration for clearing the meteorite.
So he stopped thinking about it and started to think about how to complete the exam.
"Let's ask other people." Abjo gave up without any good ideas. "Three people working together is still cooperation. Ten people working together is still cooperation. If we ask more people, we will eventually find someone with container abilities. At worst, I can just pay them some money to help me."
Having money means being generous. Ai Baozhu did what she said. Before the exam officially started, she quickly moved among the crowd, looking for people who could help.
Su Bei didn't care what she was doing, he just looked around silently, observing the situation around him. At the same time, his mental power was released silently, slowly spreading outwards.
He knew that there should be many people with advanced mental powers in this place, so he released his mental power very slowly to show that he had no intention of attacking and just wanted to explore the surrounding environment.
As his spiritual power was spreading outward, he ran into someone else's spiritual power. The other party touched him very cautiously, and Su Bei only felt it when the two competing powers intersected, and he no longer felt the other party's spiritual power afterwards.
He knew why this happened. Apparently, it was because the opponent used his mental power better than him, and was able to blend his mental power into his mind seamlessly. He estimated that the opponent had already found his location using his mental power.
Su Bei understood this, but he only had theoretical knowledge. With his current strength, he couldn't do it like the other party. It would take time to use his mental power so freely.
Just as Su Bei thought, the owner of the spiritual power had indeed detected his location. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at the dean next to him: "The quality of students in your school is very high. I just found a student with advanced spiritual power in the examination room of the special department."
Hearing this, the Dean of Studies immediately guessed who she was talking about, pushed up his glasses, and replied with a calm smile: "You must be talking about a student in our first-year class S. He is indeed outstanding."
The red-and-black-haired first-year woman showed a surprised expression, "That's really amazing. I feel like I'm a little behind the times."
"You are still in your prime, Yulia." The Dean of Studies was helpless with his old friend's self-mockery. "If others heard the [Death Cemetery] superpower say this about themselves, they would probably be ashamed to death."
After being praised, Yulia smiled happily, "Okay, the recharging is done. I will continue to check for omissions. Don't forget our promise. After the final exam, you must tell me what you have discovered about the Nightmare Beast."
"Don't worry." The dean nodded seriously, "You will know sooner or later."
On the other side, before Ai Baozhu found a partner, the teacher leading the special department exam had already arrived at the venue. He first instructed everyone to line up and then said loudly: "The location of this exam is limited to the isolation zone. Once you step out of the isolation zone, you will be disqualified from the exam and will be taken away by the teacher. There is a prop to attract nightmare beasts in the center of the venue. Please do not accidentally damage the prop when destroying nightmare beasts. After completing the exam indicators, you can come here to find me to submit the 'exam paper', and you can leave the nightmare world after submitting it."
After introducing the exam rules, he disbanded the team, turned on the machine in the center of the field, and waited for the arrival of the Nightmare Beast. Everyone dispersed and stood in a place suitable for them to perform.
Some people were eager to fight, obviously looking forward to the arrival of the nightmare beasts. However, some people were worried, not knowing whether they could kill a hundred nightmare beasts or how to bleed a hundred nightmare beasts and collect their blood.
Ai Baozhu was very smart and went directly to find those who seemed confident, and after a while she brought back a senior with purple hair.
"This is Senior Hu Qin. His superpower is [Storage Grid]. He should be able to hold enough blood." Ai Baozhu introduced with a smile on her face, and was very satisfied that she had found such a suitable partner.
Senior Hu Qin blushed slightly and nodded a little embarrassedly: "Hello, just call me Hu Qin."
"Can the storage compartment hold liquids?" Su Bei asked in surprise. He also has a storage ring, but it is precisely because it cannot hold liquids properly, otherwise it will be difficult to take out when the time comes, so he is at a loss now.
Hearing his question, Hu Qin explained: "My storage grid is not a grid in the physical sense, but... in the sense of data. You can think of it as a storage backpack in the game. Each item can be stored in a separate grid."
So that's how it is. Su Bei was relieved. As long as the storage grid has enough space, the other party's ability can indeed hold so much blood. However, Ling You soon had another question: "How to take it out?"
She was asking how to get the blood out of the storage compartment. Putting it in is one thing, but taking it out always requires a new container. The academy is unlikely to prepare one for them. If they don't have a container, they can't just spill the blood on the ground. That would definitely not give them a good grade.
"You can take it out little by little." However, this is actually a stupid question. Before Hu Qin could open his mouth, Su Bei said with a smile, "Just take it slowly. It's packed in compartments anyway, so we can pour it out one cup at a time. I still have this small container."
Ling You had a look of sudden realization on her face. She had really forgotten that this was possible. Her thoughts were restricted by the conventional storage props.
Seeing that they understood the usage of the [Storage Grid] without much explanation, Hu Qin smiled, and then as if he remembered something, he pursed his lips and showed an embarrassed expression: "But my ability has no attack capability, so..."
"We will take care of the 100 nightmare beasts I promised him." Ai Baozhu patted his chest, "But if you don't want to kill an extra 100 nightmare beasts, we can pay for it together."
She had no attacking ability and could not fulfill her promise by herself. She had to rely on her teammates to destroy the 100 nightmare beasts. So although she made a promise to Hu Qin, she did not intend to force Su Bei and the others. She was very smart and left herself a way out.
Su and Bei had no objection to her arrangement: "No problem."
There are only four hundred nightmare beasts, Ling You can easily kill them.
Now there is only one last question left. Su Bei tilted his head and said, "So how do we get the blood of these four hundred nightmare beasts?"
This was a good question, and the four of them fell silent. After a moment, Hu Qin asked cautiously, "How about I bring someone over? I have a friend who should be able to do it."
As soon as he said this, the other three looked at him with shining eyes. Ai Baozhu coughed and nodded modestly: "Okay, then you go. If you need it, we can also take care of that person's nightmare beast."
Hu Qin nodded immediately. He tried hard to bring his friend along because he felt it would be difficult for him to kill a hundred nightmare beasts on his own.
After he left to look for someone, Su Bei asked with interest: "Which class is this senior from?"
The ability to store things and the ability to drain blood are both amazing. I don't know about other things, but Su Bei is sure that these two people are not from Class B or above.
The class division of the "Infinite Power Academy" is actually very clear. Class B and above are basically all psychics with the ability to destroy nightmare beasts. Unless the psychic is particularly powerful, such as Feng Lan's [Prophecy], psychics that cannot destroy nightmare beasts will be assigned to the classes behind. And Hu Qin obviously has such a psychic.
"It's from Class D." Ai Baozhu answered while looking into the distance. She could see dust flying in the distance and a large number of nightmare beasts were rushing towards her. The prop placed by the academy was working.
So many nightmare beasts look a bit scary.
Don't be fooled by the fact that there are many special-type students. It is the second most populous examination room besides the elemental-type examination room. But in fact, most of the special-type psychics have no offensive ability, and more than half of them are below Class C. With so many nightmare beasts coming at once, Abaozhu has begun to worry that her [Gorgeous Domain] can no longer guarantee her safety.
Following her gaze into the distance, Su Bei had the same thought in his mind.
Ai Baozhu looked at Ling You and asked expectantly: "You You, can you use [Plague] to kill all these nightmare beasts?"
When there are a large number of nightmare beasts, Ling You's special ability can play a very important role.
"Difficult." Ling You shook his head, knowing his own abilities very well, "These nightmare beasts are not of the same species."
The same [Plague] targets the same species, and she can't create several [Plagues] at once. It's not that Ling You doesn't have a way to eliminate all animal nightmares at once, for example, plague is a very good virus. But such viruses often affect humans, and there are so many students in the examination room, so she can't use a virus that is too "effective".
"Even if she can do it, it won't work." Su Bei put his hands in his pockets and lazily raised a very realistic question, "If we use the [Plague] to kill someone else's prey, will it be considered the other party's or ours?"
That's true. Ai Baozhu sighed in frustration: "Forget it, just fight honestly."
Su Bei was too lazy to wait for Hu Qin to bring his men back. After all, five hundred nightmare beasts was a huge project. If he wanted to leave as soon as possible, he had to act early.
Fortunately, Ling You thought the same, so after leaving Ai Baozhu alone to drive the [Gorgeous Domain] and wait for others, the two of them joined the battlefield together.
Currently, the beasts that were attracted were all low-level nightmare beasts, which was why Su Bei was eager to play. Low-level nightmare beasts were much easier to kill than mid-level nightmare beasts, and most importantly, almost all low-level nightmare beasts had blood, but mid-level and high-level nightmare beasts might not be the same.
So if you don’t want to waste time later, the sooner you get out of here the better.
It was easy for Su Bei and the other man to destroy low-level nightmare beasts. Every time they destroyed a nightmare beast, they had to transport the nightmare beasts that could not be accommodated in the storage ring together with the nightmare beasts that had already been put into the storage ring to Ai Baozhu's [Magnificent Realm].
Thanks to [Gorgeous Realm] for not judging Nightmare Beasts as not-gorgeous things, otherwise they would even have a problem storing these things.
It would definitely not do to leave it outside unattended. When Su Bei was slacking off to kill the nightmare beast, he could clearly feel some people's small movements because of his advanced mental power.
Those people all have the ability to steal things. Some can take objects from the air, some can burrow underground, and some are probably invisible... The nightmare beasts placed on the ground always disappear suddenly when not noticed, and because they only disappear a little each time, they don't attract much attention.
Ai Baozhu was not only responsible for protecting the nightmare corpse, but also for counting, while Hu Qin and his friends who rushed over were responsible for bleeding and storing the blood.
Just when the cooperation of the five people was getting better, the danger that Su Bei had expected occurred - countless black giant nightmare beasts the size of hills in the distance, like iron barrels, lined up side by side and surrounded the base of the "Endless Superpower Academy".
As they moved forward, Su Bei could almost feel the ground shaking. Even the meteorite fragments in the air were floating up and down, which was enough to show how powerful these nightmare beasts were.
Everyone stopped what they were doing at the same time, staring blankly at the nightmare beast in the distance, and finally fear appeared in their eyes. Even when the last battle broke out, they had never seen such a horrifying scene.
It is very difficult for such huge nightmare beasts to get out of the alien space. The size of the entrance to the alien space is fixed, and unless they can shrink their body, they can't get out at all. And even if they get out, the gravity system of the human world will press these nightmare beasts very hard, and they can't even exert half of their strength.
But it was different in the nightmare world, where they could exert their full strength and did not need to shrink. Most importantly, although the giant nightmares were difficult to create, they had accumulated so many years of strength, and since they could not go to the human world, they did not consume much, so their total number was large. This time, they all went into battle and directly surrounded the "Endless Power Academy" station.
Below these giant nightmare beasts are countless strange-shaped nightmare beasts. Just by looking at their shapes, you can tell that they are at least intermediate-level nightmare beasts, and there are also some high-level nightmare beasts among them.
Obviously, these high-level nightmare beasts are very unhappy and covetous about the fact that the "Endless Power Academy" held the final exam in the Nightmare World. After all, there are so many superpowers. If they can eat them all, the strength of the entire Nightmare World will increase.
In history, there was a case of a whole school of supernatural powers being murdered. It happened many years ago when schools like supernatural powers were just emerging. It was a very tragic history.
After learning that the "Endless Power Academy" was going to bring a large group of students to the Nightmare World for the final exam, the Nightmare Worlds unintentionally cooperated to hunt. With their common vision, they didn't even need to waste time discussing and could reach a cooperation in their own homes.
When the students stopped their attacks at the same time, the low-level nightmare beasts in the [Cemetery of Death] became excited as if they were guided by something, and began to attack everyone frantically.
There is no other way. No one can care about the crisis far away. The most important thing is to deal with these nightmare beasts in front of them first.
Ai Baozhu also turned her gaze away from the giant nightmare beasts, her expression was unusually solemn. She was about to say something, but suddenly noticed a problem: "Where is Su Bei!"
At this time, Su Bei had already quietly hidden himself. Although he did not see any problems with the fate compass above everyone's head, it was better to escape early rather than late. Who knows if the little needle will suddenly "change its face"? If he became invisible now, it would be much more convenient to do anything later. But if he waited until those nightmare beasts arrived before becoming invisible, he might be noticed in advance.
After becoming invisible, Su Bei looked around but could not find any safe place here. He could not watch the show, so he quietly moved to a corner and leaned against the wall to wait for the event to happen.
I definitely can't go to Jiang Tianming and Wu Mingliang at this time. God knows what dangers might happen there. I can't go to the Dean of Education and Yulia, who are powerful psychics either. They must be the main targets of the high-level nightmare beasts. With my current strength, I will definitely be accidentally injured. In comparison, it is safer to hide in this corner.
I just hope the academy can give some help. This defense cannot be broken. Once the defense is gone, all the students present will be doomed.
The [Death Cemetery] itself actually has no defensive capabilities, it can only revive people. The only defense is in the cemetery generated within the power, and the newly resurrected person will have an invincible time of five seconds.
However, these five seconds are obviously not enough to resist the army of nightmare beasts outside, so there must be defense outside the entire [Death Cemetery].
Since the "Infinite Power Academy" dared to hold the final exam in the nightmare world, it had naturally made sufficient preparations. In an instant, a colorful barrier suddenly rose outside the [Death Cemetery], and at the same time, several power users came to the edge of the barrier, ready to deal with the nightmare beasts that broke in.
The voice of the Dean of Education echoed from inside the barrier. It must have been amplified by a speaker so that everyone could hear it: "Don't worry, students. Continue to complete the exam. This is also part of the exam. Under such extreme mental tension, can you still fully exert your strength? We will regularly send in a batch of Nightmare Beasts. There may be high-level Nightmare Beasts among them. Whether you can defeat them depends on your strength."
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of nightmare beasts outside finally came closer. It must be said that even though Su Bei had seen many big scenes, this scene still shocked him from the bottom of his heart.
Except for a little bit of sky that could be seen at the top of the barrier, the rest of the area was filled with dense nightmare beasts. Moreover, these nightmare beasts were not the small insect nightmare beasts that relied on numbers to form a strong force, but were truly powerful and advanced nightmare beasts.
Take the giant nightmare beast for example. Seeing just one is enough to make your scalp tingle, let alone seeing so many of them at once.
While observing these nightmare beasts, Su Bei was thinking about the extent of the crisis set by the author. If the "Infinite Power Academy" did not survive, most of the students present would be doomed. This crisis was too big, and it was a major crisis that would only be triggered when the story was about to end.
But "Superpower King" obviously hasn't reached its final stage yet, so the incident won't be that serious. In other words, the "Endless Superpower Academy" will most likely be able to withstand the attacks of the nightmare beasts, and the only ones affected may be the protagonists.
As long as they stay within the range of the [Death Cemetery], the nightmare beasts will have no chance against them. Then the next plot can be judged. Jiang Tianming and his friends must have entered the protected area for some reason and encountered danger.
But what is the reason?
But no matter what the reason, he couldn't stay here any longer. Now that the "Endless Power Academy" still had enough power to protect them, he had to continue to complete the final exams.
If he was the only one taking the exam, it wouldn't matter if he gave up, but now he still had four teammates. Su Bei was not a person who didn't care about his teammates, so he usually didn't form a team, and naturally he didn't have to care about others. But since he had formed a team this time, he naturally had to take some responsibility.
"Oh~ Our busy man finally came back!" As soon as Su Bei returned, Ai Baozhu covered her mouth in a weird way and pretended to be surprised.
Ling You also stared at Su Bei silently, silence was better than words at this moment.
Only Hu Qin and the other two were completely confused. They didn't understand Su Bei and didn't know what Su Bei had been doing when he disappeared, so they naturally didn't dare to blame him.
Su Beili was not right but still angry: "I was just going to gather some information, what do you think?"
"I've thought of everything." Ai Baozhu didn't give him any face. They had been companions for so long, she knew Su Bei too well. "I'm warning you, you..."
She wanted to say something harsh, but after thinking for a long time she couldn't think of anything to say. In the end she could only grit her teeth and say, "You must warn us before you run away, otherwise you will be finished when you return!"
Hearing this soft warning, Su Bei almost laughed out loud. But he knew that Ai Baozhu would be able to annoy him after she returned, so he didn't want to anger her. He tried to suppress his smile and nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I will definitely remind you this time."
After saying this, he glanced at the destiny compasses above the heads of several people. They were all at the normal level when they encountered a crisis, that is, the small needle was a little to the right, but basically in the middle. The big needle was in the upper half of the compass.
But luck is not like fate, it can change at any time. Since he promised to remind them, Su Bei always uses his supernatural power. Once everyone's little finger changes, he will run away immediately. Although it will be slower to run away at this time, the current situation does not allow him to run away before, so he should just go to the exam honestly.
Soon all the nightmare beasts in the protective shield were completely destroyed. The "Endless Superpower Academy" really held up and did not let in any high-level nightmare beasts. This made everyone feel a lot more at ease.
There were no problems with the next two batches of Nightmare Beasts. However, when the third batch of Nightmare Beasts were released, an unexpected accident occurred - among the Nightmare Beasts released, there was one that had the ability to move in space.
