Chapter 284

It was indeed as expected, and everyone nodded. But they all looked a little surprised. The bald senior's name was actually He Shang, and it really was... a name that fits his personality.

Looking at their surprised expressions, Zhang Sheng knew what they were surprised about without even thinking. He smiled and opened his hands: "Why don't you guys guess what my special ability is? If you guess correctly, I'll introduce the other two special abilities I selected to you."

In addition to him and Mu Yunfan, the other two regular members were a brown-haired senior from the student union and a little lolita who I had never seen before and who looked only twelve or thirteen years old. Although they were only fifteen or sixteen years old, they were already growing rapidly at this age, so they looked very different from the little lolita in terms of size.

In fact, everyone wanted to ask this little girl what was wrong, but they were not fools. Except for Mo Xiaotian who didn't know how to read people's eyes, the rest of them were not particularly low in emotional intelligence. They knew that the other party must have a reason to appear here, and asking questions rashly would probably cause dissatisfaction, so they suppressed their curiosity for the time being.

If Zhang Sheng is willing to introduce me, that would be great.

Zhang Sheng had never used his supernatural powers in front of them, so it was almost impossible for him to guess it out of thin air. But since he asked them to guess, it was impossible for him to have no clues at all.

This reminds me of the origin of this topic, which is He Shang's supernatural power. He Shang's supernatural power is closely related to his name, so is Zhang Sheng's name also related to his name?

The first person who thought of this was Jiang Tianming. He was indeed a young manga protagonist known for his wisdom and calmness. However, after a moment of silence, he tentatively asked, "Senior, is your ability related to studying?"

Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng, sounds like the name of a scholar.

Zhang Sheng's eyes widened in surprise, then he raised his thumb and nodded readily: "You are in the right direction, keep guessing. I can give you another hint, my ability is also a four-character idiom."

Everyone immediately thought of four-character idioms related to reading. This time, Si Zhaohua, who was the best student, was the first to speak: "Read a lot of books."

Zhang Sheng shook his head.

Seeing that he guessed wrong, Jiang Tianming asked: "Study hard and practice hard"

Zhang Sheng continued to shake his head.

It would take a long time to guess the answer. Wu Mingbai rolled his eyes and looked at Feng Manman, who was the most honest. "Does it have to do with studying? Is it about the people who study, or is it about studying itself, or is it about the achievements of studying?"

Seeing him looking at her with admiration, Feng Manman gave her junior a lot of face: "It has something to do with achievement."

Amid Zhang Sheng's complaints, Qi Huang gave the third answer: "A wealth of knowledge"

"Bingo! You got it right!" Zhang Sheng snapped his fingers and replied with a smile, "It's [A Rich Scholar]."

Since they guessed correctly, he naturally kept his promise and pointed to the brown-haired senior student: "She is Wei Yuexi. We have worked together before, so I don't need to introduce her. Her supernatural power is [Arms Dealer]."

After being introduced, Wei Yuexi raised his lips and greeted everyone. They were all members of the student union and had indeed met each other several times.

Then Zhang Sheng pointed to another little Lolita: "Her name is Lolita, and her supernatural power is [Destruction]."

Loli was wearing a princess dress and smiling cutely. She greeted everyone loudly. Her voice matched her appearance very well, a baby voice.

If the other party had not skipped a grade, then she might be a dwarf. Because of this, Jiang Tianming and others were cautious and did not dare to communicate with her, for fear of hitting the other party's minefield. Whether it hurts others or not is another matter, just saying that they will have to get along for a while, they don't want to offend the other party.

Seeing how cautious they were, Mu Yunfan couldn't help laughing first: "Hahahahahahahahahaha, I knew you wouldn't dare talk to little Loli! Don't make blind guesses, she's only twelve years old now, and she skipped a grade to attend the Academy of Superpowers because she awakened her superpowers early and her superpowers are uncontrollable."

So that's it! Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then they became ashamed. They were so timid just now, but now they seemed to be completely treated as idiots.

After the laughter, Feng Manman, who is also a substitute player, said: "I won't introduce the other three to you. Just know each other's names. If nothing unexpected happens, none of us will be able to play."

Hearing this, Su Bei raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Feng Manman was very confident in the continued performance of the main team. Generally speaking, the existence of the reserve team was not only effective when the main team was seriously injured or had an accident, but also when their mental strength was exhausted, they could temporarily replace them.

The match process is usually very tight. If you use too much mental power in one match, it will be difficult to be in full condition when you need it later. Even if you have mental crystals, sometimes they cannot be fully replenished. At this time, you can send in backups.

Since Feng Manman is so confident in the continued operation of the main team, there should be someone in the main team who can replenish the mental power of others. Is it Mu Yunfan's [Light of Hope] or Zhang Sheng's [Learning]? Su Bei is very curious, he needs such a special ability to help replenish his mental power at the critical moment.

It was unlikely that he could bring in a senior as his partner, but it should be okay to ask him to let him record his supernatural powers a few times. Yes, recording supernatural powers. This was something he redeemed from the points library of the "Destiny" organization.

The last time he handed in the "Omniscient Conch", he had accumulated a lot of points. Su Bei had never been a person who liked to hoard things, so he would use the points. He picked and chose and exchanged some, including a "Superpower Record Book".

The function of the prop is self-explanatory, it can record superpowers. A notebook has thirty pages, and a total of thirty superpowers can be recorded. However, the recording effect is half of the original superpower, and the other party's consent must be obtained. Although the effect is average, the number wins, and it can have miraculous effects at critical moments, so the price is not cheap.

After four hours of flying, everyone finally arrived at their destination. The host country of this competition was Thesbia. A country that could host a world competition must be very strong, and the airport was equipped with a teleportation array.

The group came to the hotel specially prepared for the contestants through the teleportation array and assigned their respective rooms. After they were surrounded by only familiar people, Lan Subing whispered: "The process is similar to the three-school competition."

It is a bit like that. We checked into the hotel first, and the venue is next to the hotel. Even from the surprise glimpse from the window just now, the scale of the venue is similar to that of their home country. It's just that the decoration is more gorgeous and the style is different.

"But this time the competition will last for several days." Qi Huang, who was in the same room with her, said with great anticipation, "Although I can't compete in person, it's good to see it with my own eyes."

All the talented supernaturals of similar age from various countries gather here to compete with each other. Just thinking about it is exciting.

"You can look forward to it more." Su Bei said lazily, walked to the next room, got the room card, opened his own door, and walked in without giving the other party a chance to ask further questions.

However, Qi Huang didn't have time to ask, because Si Zhaohua, who was in the same room with him, had plenty of time to ask: "What did you mean by what you just said? Why can Qi Huang look forward to it more?"

Of course, it was because she could not only watch, but also play in person. Su Bei thought so in her heart, but gave another answer: "After the game, I can ask the loser for advice, which can also be considered as playing in person. Besides, if Teacher Li has a suitable opportunity, he will probably let us play in person to experience it."

Si Zhaohua always felt that Su Bei didn't mean that originally, but because he had no evidence, he could only look away suspiciously: "The competition will start the day after tomorrow, what are your plans for the next two days?"

"I'll stay in the hotel and sleep today, and go to the city to have some fun tomorrow." Su Bei had already thought about it. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and although it was still early, he was not tired physically or mentally after a day's drive. Instead of wandering around, it would be better to rest up in the hotel and check out what fun things there are here so that he can go and visit tomorrow. And the uncle's "go to the city to have some fun" was just a literal meaning. It was a rare trip abroad, and if he didn't have fun, it would be a waste of the opportunity given by the college.

Seeing that he was just treating this competition as a trip, Si Zhaohua began to think that he was overthinking. Judging from Su Bei's attitude, the competition between the seniors should not be dangerous, otherwise he should at least have a sense of crisis.

However, this is because Si Zhaohua did not understand Subei well enough, or he misjudged the current situation.

Su Bei, who has a comic perspective, knows very well that even if Jiang Tianming and the others want to go on stage, they won't be able to do so right from the beginning.

Of course, there are many plots where problems arise with the original contestants the day before the competition, so that the protagonists are forced to take the stage temporarily, but the premise is that most of the original contestants are passers-by, that is, characters who have rarely appeared in the comics.

But this time is obviously different. Mu Yunfan, Feng Manman, and Zhang Sheng have appeared more than once, and they appear more often in the author's daily dramas. Among them, Mu Yunfan, as the president of the student union, has gained a lot of popularity, and many people are also supporting his CP with Feng Manman.

Su Bei didn't believe that such a group of regular players would be completely reduced to the background of the main characters in this competition.

Since they would not be in trouble immediately, it meant that the incident started in the middle and late stages of the game, so he was naturally not worried at all. Subei had encountered so many crises, and he followed the principle of preparing for a rainy day and defending against any danger. As for being timid and cautious before the battle, it really had nothing to do with him.

"Then I won't go out either." Si Zhaohua sat by the window. "I don't know how strong other countries are this time. I checked before I came here. Our school won the second place last time. The first place was an Asian and African country."

"Asia and Africa" ​​was very surprised to hear this answer, "Wu understands that"

If he remembered correctly, this country was not a supernatural power. How could it win the world championship? Was it because his intelligence was wrong, or was there a dark horse last year?

"Yes." Si Zhaohua nodded. "I watched the video of the final match. They cleverly created a five-person combination skill. Five earth-attribute summoning abilities directly summoned the guardian angel. The housekeeper said that many people felt that they won unfairly at the time."

It's not an unfair victory, it's pure cheating! But Su Bei also has to admit that he can cheat within the limits of the rules, and that's his ability. Of course it's a little unfair, but there is no absolute fairness in the world.

After a brief moment of surprise, he suddenly laughed and said, "Do you think they will use the same tricks this year?"

Without any need to think, Si Zhaohua answered immediately: "Of course."

"Then they are finished." Su Bei made a straightforward conclusion.

First of all, Si Zhaohua's judgment must be correct. After the Yafei Kingdom mastered the method of performing this skill, it was not difficult to find five earth-attribute summoning abilities. Such a powerful skill directly led them to the first place in the last session, so there was no reason for them to give up this time.

But as the saying goes, success or failure is irrelevant, they may very well fail because of this skill.

If you already know this skill, it is easy to find the broken one. The guardian god may really be unbeatable, so why not just not let him appear?

The summoning spell that required five people to cast could be broken by killing one person in advance. Or he could seize the opportunity to release some interrupting abilities to interrupt the spell, or he could fight them one by one to prevent the five people from the Asian and African countries from meeting each other.

There is more than one way. Once they use this skill, it will be cracked. If the killer mace is cracked, these opponents will not be a concern. In other words, as long as they use the summoning technique, they will fail. Si Zhaohua has just said that they will definitely not give up this skill.

Hearing him say this, Si Zhaohua was a little confused, but soon understood what he meant. Yes, the Asian and African countries are only small countries, and it is not easy to take the first place by taking advantage of the surprise. If they want to use the same method now, failure is inevitable.

When Si Zhaohua is relaxing, his thoughts are always scattered. After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled and said, "Fortunately, I understand that I don't have to go on stage, otherwise it would be troublesome when he goes back... when he goes home."

This time it was Su Bei's turn to be confused. He thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out: "Why?"

It was rare that there was something he didn't know. Si Zhaohua smiled proudly: "There are things you don't know."

This was to irritate him. Su Bei also laughed: "That's right. I don't know when you will get into trouble next time."

Hearing his threat, Si Zhaohua immediately restrained his expression and explained, "The Yafei team was defeated, and Wu Mingbai, as the prince of Yafei, won on behalf of another country's team. When he returns to his country, it will not only cause dissatisfaction among the people, but also alert the other princes."

It was true. Su Bei immediately understood what he meant. Wu Mingbai knew that if he was just an ordinary prince who was living abroad, he would not arouse the vigilance of other princes. Even a fool would know that even if the king wanted to compensate him, he could not use the throne as compensation. After all, Wu Mingbai had neither a sense of belonging to the multi-Asian and African countries nor sufficient strength.

But when he has this ability, is a very outstanding crown prince who has been exiled, and has the guilt of the king and queen, he has certain qualifications to seize the throne.

Si Zhaohua only said this casually, thinking that Wu knew that he would not have a chance to play. But Su Bei really started to think about this problem.

He knew that Wu Mingbai would definitely play, and they would go to the Asian and African countries to experience the dungeon together. So what Si Zhaohua just said was probably the crisis they would face in the next dungeon.

If the king of the Asian and African countries thinks that Wu Mingdao is a threat, how will he treat them? It is obvious that he will nip the threat in the bud. Su Bei dare not even think about how exciting it would be to be hunted down by the king abroad.

He couldn't help but sigh. If it weren't for the temptation of the patron saint, he might have given up this trip. Compared with doing things in the country, doing things abroad must be much more dangerous.

As Su Bei expected, nothing unexpected happened in the past two days. However, there were still some quarrels. The young people were arrogant and proud, and they were opponents who had not yet competed. Living in the same hotel, it was easy for conflicts to arise when they met.

Of course, this conflict had nothing to do with Su Bei, and he was not even at the scene when the conflict broke out. It was only after listening to Jiang Tianming's story that he knew what had happened.

In short, they met their rival from the previous year in the academy. The opponent started with harsh words, so naturally, we couldn't admit defeat. Neither side would give in, and they exchanged a few words, and then almost came to blows. In the end, the teachers of both sides arrived in time and stopped the farce.

In addition to this, there was another small surprise, that is, they actually met Elvis! Elvis is a student of "Alpha Supernatural High School". When they went there as exchange students, they had some interactions with him. I didn't expect to see him here.

Not only him, but also Tiffany, the girl with the supernatural power of [Vampire], is here too.

It is always a happy thing to meet old friends in a foreign land. Although everyone is an opponent, the few people who know each other still had a private meal together before the game.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect to meet you here. I still remember that we said we could compete in the World Championship, but it turned out to be a prophecy." While waiting for the dishes, Si Zhaohua started with a few pleasantries and then asked a question that interested him, "Is your school the main team or the secondary team this time?"

"Deputy captain." Elvis didn't mind answering this question, but he was obviously dissatisfied because his own school was the deputy captain. "Otherwise, we wouldn't have come here today."

Yesterday was a knockout match between the vice-teams, but it was not held in this venue, but in another smaller venue. The competition lasted the whole day, and we could leave directly after the competition.

Everyone was curious about this. Although Qi Huang didn't know Elvis, her generous personality allowed her to ask directly: "What did you compete in the preliminaries yesterday?"

Elvis glanced at her and replied simply, "A team battle."

The format of the qualifying round is that the organizer randomly draws numbers to select each pair of opponents, and then calls the two teams with the same numbers to compete. If they win, they advance, and if they lose, they leave. It's very simple and crude.

Obviously, Elvis was the winner.

"Are you the starting player or the backup player in the vice-captain team?" Qi Huang asked curiously. From how Su Bei and the others knew each other, she could guess that Elvis should also be a freshman in high school. A freshman in high school should not be a starting player, but she saw that the other person's posture just now seemed like he had participated in the competition himself. Otherwise, why would he be so righteous and confident in disliking his own school?

As expected, Elvis replied as a matter of course: "Of course it's the first choice."

Lan Subing then quietly explained to Qi Huang: "His special ability is [Time Hourglass]."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Huang understood immediately. Time is a supernatural power, no wonder he is so arrogant.

Unlike the fate system in Subei, which is often at two extremes, either extremely strong or extremely weak, the time system has almost no weak people, with a very high lower limit and an extremely high upper limit.

After answering her question, Elvis looked at the others, mainly at Su Bei and Jiang Tianming who had defeated him: "My abilities have improved a lot this semester. You guys should not be eliminated before you meet me, otherwise I will be very disappointed."

"We should be the ones to say this to you." Jiang Tianming counterattacked without hesitation, but he was not angry, instead he smiled. After a month of getting along, they all knew that Elvis was a dead arrogant, and he said that just because he didn't want them to be eliminated too early.

After getting his answer, Elvis looked at Su Bei who was silent and said: "You are silent because you think you can't beat me now?"

"Why do I feel like you owe me more than before?" Su Bei asked with a smile, "And I say, it's OK if he doesn't know, but don't the rest of you know that we are backup options? What the hell are you doing?"

"You are the backup candidates." Elvis raised his eyebrows in surprise, his eyes flashed with concern, but his mouth was unforgiving, "Wow, you won't be excluded in your own school, right?

Jiang Tianming just remembered this, coughed, and patiently explained: "In our academy, freshmen can only be substitutes, and the regular members are all very strong, so there is probably no chance for them to play."

Although they didn't know what abilities the selected members had, judging from the teachers' performance, they were clearly better than themselves.

This is normal. They have graduated from high school and are members of Class S. If they are weaker than the freshmen, Su Bei can only say that the protagonist's halo is too strong and all the protagonist's generation are geniuses.

However, this pattern is more common in novels, but less common in comics. Especially in boys' hot-blooded comics, the predecessors are usually very strong, and the successors are also strong, and there are challenges everywhere.

"Then you just wait and see us beat your college's first team!" Elvis said confidently. He has always been so confident in his own strength. "I won't comfort you when the time comes."

But when he turned around, the confidence on his face disappeared a little. He had experienced how strong Su Bei and his team were before, and as he said, he had improved a lot during this period. But Jiang Tianming and his team were not the kind of people who would just go with the flow, and their strength must have improved over the past six months.

If even they think they can't beat their own regulars, how strong must the regulars of "Infinite Power Academy" be?

On the day of the competition, Jiang Tianming and others, who were alternates, sat in the players' booth very close to the stadium. Because there were many countries participating in this world competition, it was impossible to prepare a private room for each country, so everyone sat in the players' booth.

The stands were packed with spectators, and only at this moment could they feel that there were actually quite a few people with special abilities.

Most of the spectators were from Sesbia. After all, it was a competition held in their country, so naturally all the supernatural people who could showed up came to show their support. Besides, Sesbia was a big country, and there were many supernatural people in the country.
