Chapter 282
With such doubts, Su Bei re-watched the scenes where the nightmare beasts appeared. There is no doubt that the author did put a lot of effort into portraying those nightmare beasts.
Their abilities are all very interesting. They all have one thing in common: they are all Earth Elemental Nightmares.
Nightmare beasts and mutants have many similarities. Their abilities are the same as mutants, so their classifications are naturally similar.
Among nightmare beasts, low-level nightmare beasts are generally physically strengthened, with increased strength, speed, and defense, while the other two levels of nightmare beasts have more types of supernatural powers.
Like human superpowers, the majority are elemental. And in the elemental system, the proportions of the five elements are generally similar. This time, so many earth elements appeared in succession, there are only two possibilities.
Either the high-level nightmare beasts deliberately brought these earth element nightmare beasts here for unknown reasons, or the proportion of earth element nightmare beasts in the nightmare world now far exceeds that of nightmare beasts of other elements.
Regardless of which possibility it is, it indicates that this matter is unusual and is indeed a foreshadowing by the author.
If it is the former, why would the high-level nightmare beasts bring a group of earth elemental nightmare beasts to encircle and suppress the human earth element, which is a very sensitive ability in this plot. The human side insisted on holding this final exam in the nightmare beast world at the risk of danger. In fact, the real purpose is not to drink, but to find a way to remove the meteorite and completely eliminate the nightmare beasts.
The purpose of the high-level nightmare beasts bringing a group of earth element nightmare beasts was very clear. They probably guessed the purpose of the "Endless Power Academy" in advance, or at least had some suspicions. That's why they deliberately sent such a group of nightmare beasts to test it.
If the "Infinite Power Academy" really tampered with the meteorite fragments in the air during the final exam, with so many earth elemental nightmares present, the nightmares would immediately notice the problem.
Thinking of this, Su Bei couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, the "Infinite Power Academy" was cautious enough. Although they tampered with the questions, they didn't take advantage of the final exam to cause trouble after entering the nightmare world. Otherwise, once the nightmares discovered their true intentions, they would definitely attack with all their might, and it would be a question whether they could return safely.
As for the other possibility...if the balance of the five elements is broken, what does that mean? Is this related to the meteorite? Have the nightmare beasts and the supernatural government discovered this?
Thinking of this, Su Bei suddenly realized that he still preferred the first scenario. Although the first scenario was a bit troublesome, it was the best possibility compared to the second scenario.
After checking the forum, he found that he had nothing to do with the incident. Unlike him, the forum readers had not opened the third eye of the third eye, and almost did not notice the problem of the nightmare beast. Su Bei only found one useful post.
"There are too many earth elemental nightmare beasts in this chapter."
[Leeuwenhoek is also No. 0: I counted, in this chapter, among the six nightmare beasts that chased Jiang Tianming and his friends, four of them were earth elements. If it wasn't that the old thief Jiang Lang ran out of ideas and insisted on using water elements, then there must be something hidden. This Leeuwenhoek only has eyes for discovery, but no brain for thinking. Now I'm posting my discovery here, waiting for an analysis emperor]
[No.1: Sister Hook, it’s you again. I’ve seen you on the forum many times.]
[No.2: Don’t mention it. I checked the previous posts of the OP and found that he does have a pair of sharp eyes.]
[Leeuwenhoek is also No.3 (the original poster) replied to No.2:
and a brain untainted by knowledge】
【No.4: Hahahahahahahaha】
[No.5: I didn’t even notice these details, Leeuwenhoek is indeed the real deal]
【……】
[No.22: I went back and read it again. The original poster is right. Earth element nightmare beasts do appear too frequently.]
[No.23: Is the old thief laying an ambush? Although I don’t see the use of this ambush]
[No.24: Earth element... Could it be related to understanding?]
[No.25: Where is the Emperor of Analysis]
[No.26: Is it possible that the Nightmare Beasts deliberately sent a lot of Earth Elemental Nightmare Beasts to hunt down Jiang Jiang and his group? After all, Earth Elemental is relatively convenient for searching on the ground.]
【No.27 replied to No.26:
There should be quite a few specialized search nightmare beasts. According to the relatively consistent abilities and appearances of nightmare beasts in "Alien King", there should be quite a few canine nightmare beasts with such abilities. Why send so many earth elements to specialize in this field?】
【No.28 replied to No.26:
It's unlikely. If it's just for searching, wouldn't it be enough to send one or two? Why send so many?】
[No.29: I know, I know! It’s because Lao Zei is an earth sign and likes the earth element the most!]
【No.30 replied to No.29:
】
【No.31 replied to No.29:
I testify that Lao Zi is really an earth sign.
【No.32 replied to No.29:
When I type this question mark】
【……】
[No.77: I feel it has something to do with the meteorite falling from the sky. Perhaps the nightmare beasts brought so many earth element nightmare beasts here just to prevent the "Infinite Power Academy" from clearing the meteorite. With them around, they will definitely be able to sense the changes in the meteorite at the first time. If the "Infinite Power Academy" dares to take action, it will be discovered immediately.]
[No.78: What the above person said makes sense, at least it is the most reasonable one in this building. I really can’t even begin to compare to the ability of the above people to create abstract ideas.]
【No.79 replied to No.77:
I remember writing in the previous article that the fact that the "Infinite Power Academy" knew how to completely destroy the Nightmare Beasts seemed to be a secret that the Nightmare Beasts were unaware of. If they didn't know, why would they send the Earth Elemental Nightmare Beasts here?】
【No.80 replied to No.79:
We must be prepared for a rainy day. This kind of event that concerns the survival of the race must be prevented, even if the other party does not know it. We must be on guard at all times.
【……】
【No.115 replied to No.77:
That's not right. If they really wanted to monitor the "Endless Ability Academy" to see if there was any trouble, then why were these earth elemental nightmare beasts sent out to hunt down Jiang Jiang? They should have stayed outside the protective shield!】
【No.116 replied to No.115:
!I really didn’t expect this!】
[No.117: The concern of the 115th floor is fine. If this point cannot be explained clearly, then the guess of the 77th floor is likely to be wrong. After all, when the Nightmare Beast sent people to hunt down Jiang Tianming, the people from the "Endless Ability Academy" had not left yet.]
[No.118: So the previous guesses were all wrong. What is the truth?]
【……】
Like the forum readers, Su Bei was also awakened by the words on the 115th floor. The layer master was right. If there were many earth elemental nightmare beasts in the plot, the reason was the first possibility. They should have stayed outside the protective shield instead of being killed.
Whether it is killing people or chasing people, other nightmare beasts can be sent out. Why must these useful nightmare beasts be sent? It is only because the role of the earth element nightmare beast outside the shield is the same as other nightmare beasts, so it can be sent out at will.
Randomly assign a few nightmare beasts, most of them are earth element nightmare beasts, so the answer points directly to the second possibility - the proportion of the five elements in the elemental nightmare beasts is unbalanced.
Thinking of this, Su Bei couldn't help but sigh and rubbed his brows in despair. This damn luck, whatever he didn't want came to him. Sometimes he really wondered if the author did it on purpose.
What does imbalance of the five elements mean?
Nightmare beasts are born from the resentment of humans after death, and most of their abilities are generated randomly, while a small part is generated according to the resentment of the deceased.
Elemental abilities are usually generated randomly. After all, very few people's death resentments are linked to gold, wood, water, fire, and earth... Gold is a possibility, but earth is unlikely.
Therefore, the increase of earth elemental nightmares is the choice of the nightmare world, or even the comic world. Its increase must represent something.
It was hard for Su Bei not to associate this incident with the meteorite. This incident was originally linked to the relevant main plot, and he was able to discover other things because of this. If nothing unexpected happened, the increase in earth element nightmare beasts must be a bad thing for humans, a bad thing that can be linked to the meteorite.
Thinking this was Su Bei's limit, there were too few clues and he could only think of this much at once.
But Su Bei was not a person who liked to dwell on trivial matters. Since this line of thought was blocked, he would try another one. Since the increase of earth element nightmare beasts was a bad thing, it was always right to find a way to change it.
Su Bei planned to go to the library to look for relevant information about elemental nightmare beasts after the final exam to see if there was any way to change the status quo. No matter what foreshadowing or conspiracy the author was arranging, he would directly cut off the source of the problem.
After reading the comics and the forum, Su Bei finally felt relieved and fell asleep peacefully. The next day was a holiday, and Wu Mingbai and others returned smoothly. When people heard the news, they chatted privately to ask what happened.
Su Bei had already read the comics and understood the situation in advance. Seeing that Jiang Tianming and others obviously did not notice the problem of the increase in the number of earth elemental nightmare beasts, he immediately lost interest in their discussion.
After another day of rest, on the third day, everyone finally knew the content of the make-up exam.
This time, you don't have to go to the Nightmare World, you can take the exam directly in school. The exam content is to choose one of three options: destroy 100 low-level Nightmare Beasts within a time limit, participate in an external mission related to mid-level Nightmare Beasts, or destroy a high-level Nightmare Beast.
As you can see from the difficulty, the scores of the three options are different. If nothing unexpected happens, the upper limit of the score for the first option is 70 points, the second option is 90 points, and the third option may reach the full score of 100 points.
In Class S, six people, Su Bei, Jiang Tianming, Lan Subing, Wu Mingbai, Si Zhaohua, and Qi Huang, chose to destroy high-level nightmare beasts, while the rest chose to go out to do the task of destroying intermediate-level nightmare beasts.
It is worth mentioning that in the Supernatural Academy World Tournament next summer, only those in their first-year S class who choose the highest level exam will be eligible to become candidates.
This is also the reason why Su Bei chose this option. He can choose not to take action in the next incident, but he cannot avoid showing up. Only by getting involved can he react immediately.
It is not difficult for Su Bei now to deal with a high-level nightmare beast. As the saying goes, the only way to defeat martial arts is to be faster. As long as he can change the fate of the nightmare beast first, the opponent is destined to die.
Don't think that Su Bei's defense ability is too weak. If his hand speed is not fast enough, his own safety will be in danger. But he is not worried. If he can't change the fate of others in time, can he not change his own fate in time?
Although the little finger is ever-changing, the big finger is stable. As long as he checks his destiny compass in time before each move, retreats or changes his destiny when he encounters danger, he will not encounter the situation of not being fast enough or being ambushed and killed instantly. At most, his luck will suddenly change and he will be seriously injured.
The final exams were coming very quickly. As one of the only three supernatural academies in the country, the "Infinite Supernatural Academy" was not good at anything else, but it was easy to deal with nightmare beasts or missions. And this was also one of the alternative plans, so there was not much delay, and the final exam makeup exam officially began.
The first batch of exams to compete with high-level nightmare beasts began, and there were few people who signed up. If the first-year students were not counted, there were only about thirty people in total. This was because the teaching quality of the "Infinite Power Academy" was up to standard. If it were any other academy, it would be difficult to get thirty people.
Seeing Su Bei and the others also coming to compete, the senior high school students were surprised but not too shocked. When they went to the Nightmare World for the final exam, the senior high school students had already secretly learned about their identities.
No matter which grade, the S class has always been far superior to ordinary people. This time, the S class of the third grade was not present for the final exam, as they had a more dangerous exam content.
After being crushed by the S class of the same grade for three years, they have become accustomed to it. Now the S class of the first grade can keep up with them. Although they feel ashamed, they are not surprised.
There are geniuses every year, and the protagonists just occupy the status of protagonists and have richer experiences.
Si Zhaohua was the first to take the test. The main theme of the offensive-type battle is a violent aesthetic. Si Zhaohua's battle is like this. The [Angel] has both supernatural beauty and strength. In addition, this guy prides himself on being elegant, so even when fighting against a strong enemy, it is still very beautiful.
For the sake of fairness, all the high-level nightmare beasts prepared by the academy were of the strong attack type. The clash of strength against strength was extremely exciting to watch.
The next few people took the test in turn. Those who were willing to take this level generally had stronger attacking power, and each of their battles could be said to be thrilling.
Except for northern Jiangsu.
The battle in northern Jiangsu was particularly inexplicable.
It felt like he barely did anything, just threw out a gear, and the Nightmare was destroyed.
Except for the people in Class S, the other senior students who were watching were all confused. The exam is over. What happened? How did the high-level nightmare beast get defeated so easily? Is the fate-related ability really that powerful?
Su Bei didn't say whether the fate-related ability was strong or not, but it was definitely mysterious enough. The attack that seemed to be a simple one to them actually consumed a lot of Su Bei's mental energy.
As soon as he came on the field, he pretended to confront the Nightmare Beast while secretly moving the Nightmare Beast's big pointer to the bottom. Then he moved his little pointer to the far left, and then used the most useful "hit gear" among all his attack methods to attack the opponent, and finally used the instant skill.
Only by using a set of combined punches can a high-level nightmare beast be killed instantly without showing any signs of strength.
Although he knew what he had done, Su Bei was still a little proud when he saw the final result. His hard work is not in vain. His progress from the beginning to now is definitely the greatest among all.
"Junior Su Bei is so awesome. Do you want to join a guild or a team? I know a lot of people and can introduce them to you in advance." When Su Bei was waiting aside for the other students in Class S to take the exam, a blue-haired girl saw that there was no one around him, so she came up to him and spoke enthusiastically.
If I heard it, I would know that she had misunderstood me, misunderstood that I was not popular in the class. Otherwise, she would not have taken the initiative to find me.
After all, generally speaking, students from the same class are likely to team up with each other after graduation. Knowing each other well and having enough understanding, there is no reason to waste resources to find strangers to team up with. The world of nightmare beasts is still very dangerous. Without a reliable teammate, you are likely to be dragged down and die.
Even for herself, the decision to join the guild was made together with her friends, not just by herself.
However, this senior student did misunderstand. Su Bei stood alone not because others isolated him, but because he took the initiative to stand far away to "isolate" others. Otherwise, he was not the first to finish the exam, so why didn't he take the initiative to join the S class team?
The main reason why Su Bei stood outside alone was because his mental energy consumption was a bit high. The classmates knew each other well, and if he was not covered up, once they got close, they would easily discover his weakness. This was a bit of a collapse of the character Su Bei had created, so he took the initiative to stand outside.
Si Zhaohua and the others knew him very well, and when they saw him standing outside alone, they knew that he might not want to come over for some reason, so they were very tactful and did not come over.
Unexpectedly, their tacit understanding led to misunderstanding by others. Su Bei laughed and shook his head, politely refusing: "Thank you for your kindness, senior sister. No thanks."
Unfortunately, the other party obviously didn't hear his refusal, and thought he was just embarrassed, and continued to persuade him enthusiastically: "You should have heard of our guild, it is the 'Changhe Guild'. It is not ranked first, but at least it is ranked in the top three guilds in the country. The benefits of joining the guild are very good. You joined in your first year, and you have more time to cultivate tacit understanding with other members. You can find a job smoothly after graduation. What a perfect arrangement!"
After looking at her twice, Su Bei quickly realized that if he didn't prove himself, it would be difficult to let this senior know that he was seriously rejecting him in a polite manner. But the other party really had no ill intentions, and he couldn't say bad things to a strange senior.
So Su Beichong waved to Si Zhaohua, Wu Mingbai and Qi Huang who had already finished their exams and asked loudly: "What are your plans for the summer vacation?"
Seeing him calling, Si Zhaohua and the other two came over. Qi Huang shrugged, looking bored: "What can I do? I'll be a reserve to see the world competition, and then I'll train at home. When the second year of high school starts, I will definitely surpass you!"
"This sounds a bit familiar," Si Zhaohua couldn't help but chuckle, "Someone seemed to have said this before the holiday last semester."
Hearing these obvious hints, Qi Huang's face turned red and he coughed: "Last time was last time, this time is this time. I am not the same person I was yesterday."
Si Zhaohua didn't bother to argue with her, turned to Su Bei and said: "I might find time to go out for a trip. If you are interested, you can..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Mingbai interrupted and said, "Hey, I told you guys not to forget my invitation! I'm going back to Asia and Africa during the summer vacation, and I'd like you guys to travel with me."
Hearing this, Si Zhaohua was a little annoyed. There have been so many things going on recently that he really forgot about this matter. He didn't show it on his face, and nodded with a smile: "Of course I didn't forget. I'll wait for your news. I'm looking forward to this trip."
He was really looking forward to it. Although Si Zhaohua had traveled abroad frequently before, he had never been to an Asian or African country. Before he became a superpower, the Si family would not let him come into contact with too many superpower-related things.
Yafei Country, Su Bei suddenly thought of something. Yafei Country's guardian god has the magical ability to move mountains and fill the sea. In addition, most of the supernatural powers of the Yafei Country's royal family are related to the earth element, so this guardian god must have a lot to do with the earth element. Maybe then I can get the reason why the five elements of the nightmare beast are unbalanced from the other party.
With the protagonists around, there is no need to worry about not being able to meet each other. As for whether he can ask questions and get answers, it depends on his own ability.
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up and he also made an "OK" gesture: "Anytime."
After he finished speaking, he glanced around and saw that the senior student who was originally beside him had quietly left at some point.
"Hey, weren't you going to invite that junior? Why did you come back without even chatting for a few minutes? I thought you guys were having a good chat, even to the point of introducing friends to each other." The red-haired girl asked puzzledly. She was the other senior who was going to go to the "Changhe Guild" with the senior.
The blue-haired senior shook her head helplessly: "I was thinking wrongly. That junior is not unpopular. On the contrary, he has great popularity! If he didn't have great popularity, he wouldn't have been able to attract all his companions with just one call."
What frustrates her most is the atmosphere between them, the kind of atmosphere that only exists between good friends. She has good friends herself, so how can she not understand?
Unfortunately, she originally thought that if she could invite a young genius to join the guild, she and her partner would definitely get higher benefits. After all, although the "Changhe Guild" is a large guild, it is still a bit difficult to absorb the students of the "Endless Ability Academy" S class.
Unfortunately, she failed. The moment she saw her classmates from northern Jiangsu coming over, she understood their intentions.
"It's okay, just the two of us are enough!" The blue-haired girl was not disappointed, but said confidently, "Inviting the junior is just the icing on the cake, the real meat and dish is still the two of us."
If they were not talented, they would not have both chosen the most difficult final exam, and would not have been invited to join the big guild before graduation.
Hearing her say this, the red-haired girl couldn't help but laugh out loud, and nodded in approval: "You're right."
Su Bei is certainly strong, but these two are not bad either.
