Chapter 289

Soon it was the third day of the competition. Su Bei became interested immediately after learning that the first match of the day was against the school where Elvis was studying.

Elvis has played a supporting role in many plots, so this match involving him will not be so easy to deal with.

"Why are you here today?" Zhang Sheng asked curiously when he saw him appear.

Su Bei found a place to sit down and said casually, "I have an acquaintance today."

Feng Manman, who was being harassed by Mu Yunfan next to the "acquaintance", suddenly remembered something, "It's 'Alpha Superpower High School', right? I remember you guys had exchanges with that school."

Hearing that she actually knew, Si Zhaohua asked in surprise: "President, you actually remembered it?"

"Because I was in charge of assisting in the arrangements at the time, and exchange students is not a trivial matter in the college." Feng Manman answered calmly.

Although those exchange students did not do as many things as Su Bei and others in "Alpha Superpower High School", they were strong exchange students after all, and it was hard for the students in the school not to pay attention to them. As the secretary-general of the student union, Feng Manman was a person who paid attention to every detail, so this matter naturally had a profound impact on her.

Si Zhaohua nodded thoughtfully. He also wanted to be the student union president, so he naturally wanted to learn more from his seniors: "Senior, what do you think the probability of success is if I apply to be a secretary?"

A new round of student union elections will begin in the second week of the new semester. The president will basically be succeeded by the secretary-general, while other positions will need to be reshuffled.

"It depends on who your competitors are." Feng Manman was not stingy in giving guidance in this regard. She first glanced at Qi Huang, who would obviously be a competitor of Si Zhaohua. "Achievements, reputation, and performance are all important criteria for competing for this position. Unless one is outstanding in one aspect and is able to overwhelm other competitors, otherwise, a comprehensive evaluation of the three items will be conducted to select the most suitable secretary-general."

She won the election by crushing the competition with her reputation and achievements. Even though her abilities were not that strong, she played a significant role in the battle and saved countless lives as a healing ability user at the age of a freshman in high school. Her achievements and reputation made her the undisputed best candidate for the next president.

"I know..." This time it was Qi Huang who answered first. She muttered to herself, looking like she was thinking about something. Qi Huang knew very well that she was a little bit behind Si Zhaohua. So if she wanted to become the Secretary-General of the Student Union, she needed to find another way in other aspects. And Feng Manman's words just gave her some inspiration.

"Actually there is another way." Mu Yunfan suddenly spoke.

Although Qi Huang had expected that he would not tell her any proper method, he still couldn't help but ask, "What method?"

Mu Yunfan flicked his hair, his confidence almost overflowing the screen: "Of course all my classmates are in love with me... "

Before he could finish his words, Feng Manman stood up and covered his mouth, and at the same time pressed the back of his head and pushed his face against the table. Then she explained helplessly to the others: "Excuse me, the former president sometimes loses his mind."

"I understand." Everyone smiled and nodded, and no one paid any attention to Mu Yunfan who was struggling.

Jiang Tianming and others who had no interest in this were more concerned about the competition itself. Jiang Tianming asked expectantly, "Teacher, can I play in the match against Elvis? We were classmates when we were exchange students, so we know his abilities fairly well."

Speaking of this, Si Zhaohua also became interested: "Let me compete with him, teacher. We competed before and it was a draw. I think I should be able to beat him now."

Lan Subing also whispered: "I can go too."

Seeing that they all looked eager to play, Wu Mingbai, who had never met Elvis, also came over to join in the fun: "I haven't played against him yet, teacher, please let me have a try!"

Elvis is also a freshman, so it is no problem to let a freshman play. Teacher Li scanned the audience and finally set her sights on Su Bei. With the experience and lessons learned from the last time, Su Bei decisively refused before she could open her mouth: "It was agreed that I don't need to play in the individual competition."

It is indeed difficult to change a promise. Teacher Li looked away with regret: "Then you can decide by playing rock-paper-scissors."

The winner in the end was Wu Mingdao, who had never met Elvis before, but now had a connection with him. This made Su Bei very sure that Elvis would not be spared from the next crisis. The closer you get to the protagonists, the more unlucky you will be. This is the comic book routine.

Wu Mingbai's fight with Elvis was very exciting. Normally, Elvis's time system was just like Su Bei's destiny system, which controlled everything. But Wu Mingbai was not a pushover. After learning about Elvis's abilities from Jiang Tianming and others, he simultaneously caused the ground to collapse, caused the walls to collapse, and dropped boulders from the sky, trying to attack from many aspects so that Elvis' abilities would not be able to take care of too many aspects, and he would find a flaw and defeat him in one move.

Jiang Tianming had used this method to defeat Elvis before, and now Wu Mingbai also followed his advice and dealt with the opponent in this way.

However, Elvis at this time was no longer the Elvis of the past. After being defeated in this way, he naturally would not repeat the same mistake.

I have really improved a lot." Seeing Elvis's different operation on the ring, several people who were familiar with him became interested and sat up to observe carefully.

He changed the speed of time on the stage, and it was two different speeds. Wu Ming was in a very slow space, so he even released his skills very slowly. Elvis's time was very fast, and his mental recovery speed and movements were much faster.

But if that was all, Su Bei and the others wouldn't be that surprised. What really surprised them was that Wu understood that as his speed slowed down, all the supernatural powers he had used were taken back by the time reversal. Similarly, as Elvis' speed increased, the wounds on his body also healed quickly.

In other words, Elvis used four abilities at the same time, speeding up his own time flow, slowing down Wu Mingbai's time flow, and reversing time for both of them. He used four abilities at the same time, but he made the [Time Hourglass] play out clearly.

There is no doubt that compared to the Elvis they met half a year ago, he is much stronger now. Even Su Bei has no confidence that he can defeat him now.

Not to mention the freshmen, the seniors in the second and third years of high school also showed solemn expressions after seeing Elvis' performance. Wei Yuexi asked incredulously: "You defeated him before, or at least it was a draw."

If they really have this ability, then Wei Yuexi feels that he can step down and let others take over. There is someone else who is the right candidate.

"He wasn't this strong before." Si Zhaohua frowned. "Before, he said he had improved a lot but we didn't take it seriously. Now it seems..."

Now it seems that Elvis has not only improved a lot, he has been reborn. If the others have only grown a little, then he has undergone a qualitative change.

Lan Subing nodded repeatedly in agreement: "I have really improved a lot."

After saying this, she looked towards the stage with worry. Jiang Tianming said what was in her mind: "I understand the danger."

If it was the original Elvis, it would not be difficult to counter his tactics if we already knew his tactics. But now he is really too strong. The power of the buffs accumulated over so many years is huge. Didn't you see that the seniors are getting serious?

Just as everyone worried, Wu Mingbai had no way to deal with Elvis now. Unless it was a special ability, most abilities were restrained by the time system. Under the crushing force, Wu Mingbai was quickly defeated.

When he stepped down, he looked grim. Although he could accept the result of failure calmly, he was still unhappy. Especially when his teammates all successfully defeated the opponent, and he was the only one who failed.

As soon as Wu Mingbai came back, he asked the same question as Wei Yuexi: "You have defeated him before."

Jiang Tianming repeated Si Zhaohua's explanation, then sighed helplessly and said self-deprecatingly: "We have come at a good time."

"If we were to fight him now, I don't think we would be able to defeat him." Lan Subing agreed with Lan Subing's words. "I don't know what hormones he took to improve so quickly."

After saying that, she looked at Su Bei and said, "Su Bei, can you still beat him now? I remember that you and A Jiang won last time, right?"

"Not necessarily." Su Bei answered truthfully, but he didn't say that he would definitely win just for the sake of his character. If it were him back then, he would definitely not be able to beat Elvis now. With the little time he had to change his fate, Elvis didn't know how many times he could have adjusted the time.

But now he and Elvis are fighting, and it depends on who has faster hands. If he is faster, he can change fate and add an instant skill, and Elvis can't do anything even if he turns back time. But if he is faster and puts a time-reversal debuff on himself first, then Su Bei will have no way out.

Jiang Tianming and others were not surprised by his answer. Although they felt that Elvis was now too strong, they did not think that Su Bei would lose.

"Even Su Bei is not sure of winning, and the rest of us will probably get the same outcome." Jiang Tianming said with pretended emotion, but in fact he was doing this to ensure Wu Mingbai's safety.

Wu Mingbai forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I'm just not as skilled as others. I should think about how to become stronger."

Although he knew that what Jiang Tianming and the others said was true, and that this Elvis should indeed be much better than the ones they had met before, but a loss was a loss, and this failure did remind him of his own situation.

Compared with Jiang Tianming, who has gained some more superpowers, and Lan Subing, who has top-level superpowers, he should find a way to strengthen his strength. Otherwise, Wu Mingbai is afraid that he will be left behind by his friends sooner or later.

Let’s not talk about the entanglement on his side, after Wu Mingbai’s failure, it was finally the turn of Mu Yunfan and others to take the stage.

"Alpha High School" is not an ordinary school like the ones they have encountered before. They can serve as a reserve team for a country as an international school, so their strength should not be underestimated.

It was also through this opportunity that Su Bei and others finally understood what the supernatural abilities of Mu Yunfan and others were.

Mu Yunfan's [Light of Hope] can materialize hope. The materialized "hope" can be used as a spell attack, or it can be transformed into various weapons, or even turned into a protective shield to resist damage. It is an almighty superpower.

The most important thing is that [Light of Hope] is the only known supernatural power that does not require the consumption of mental energy. What it consumes is "hope". As long as Mu Yunfan keeps hope in his heart, the supernatural power can be used continuously.

Moreover, if you have hope yourself, [Light of Hope] can also absorb the hope of others, so this is actually a power that becomes more powerful the more friends you have. In individual battles, its greatest advantage is its strong endurance and omnipotence. And group battles are when it really shows its power.

Needless to say, Wei Yuexi's supernatural power [Arms Dealer] is to conjure up various weapons. The ammunition of the weapons is also replenished by mental power. It is a supernatural power that requires a lot of mental power.

Because of this, Wei Yuexi is committed to improving her mental power. As a high-level mental power owner, Su Bei is very sensitive to other non-high-level mental powers. He can feel that among all the candidates, Wei Yuexi's mental power is the most active. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be able to reach the level of high-level mental power.

Next is He Shang's ability to "become a Buddha instantly", which literally means that he can transform himself into a Buddha, a variety of Buddhas. Naturally, the Buddhas he can transform into have various abilities, and Su Bei has seen three or four of them.

Every time Luo Li plays, she will cause a lot of cheers. After all, she is too young. She is only twelve years old, which means she is just in junior high school. In other words, the world competition has no age limit, only student status, otherwise she cannot participate.

[Destruction] This ability, as the name suggests, can destroy anything including objects, abilities, and even mental power.

Because of her young age, Lori has not yet fully developed this skill, and can only rely on her basic abilities, which is equivalent to a normal attack. But this alone is already very strong, and the "Infinite Ability Academy" boldly allowed her to become one of the contestants.

Finally, it was Zhang Sheng's "Learning Richly". Su Bei had previously guessed based on Feng Manman's performance that the starting team would have enough stamina, and that was indeed the case. And the reason they had enough stamina was precisely because of Zhang Sheng.

One of the abilities of [Learning Rich] is to store mental power, and the upper limit of storage is twice his mental power.

The offensive power of this ability relies on using knowledge to defeat the enemy, such as making letters fall from the sky, making physical principles come true instantly, and making things in poetry materialize...

In short, it is a very flexible ability, and it also tests the imagination and knowledge reserve of the user. It is worth mentioning that although Zhang Sheng always looks careless on the surface, he is actually the top student in every cultural examination in the third year of high school. Su Bei only found out this after asking Feng Manman. The top student in the second year of high school is Feng Manman.

Their strength was indeed worthy of being a regular team. Even though the enemies from "Alpha High School" were already quite strong, they still managed to defeat them one by one. Except for the match against Wu Mingbai, they won all the other rounds.

"Who is the protagonist?" Su Bei chuckled and muttered to himself. If only he was one grade higher, as long as he was not in the same grade as the protagonist, he could be as strong and safe as these seniors.

But it can't be said to be safe. Su Bei is very curious why such strong seniors can't participate in the second stage of the competition.

After the match with "Alpha Supernatural High School" ended, Elvis came over. He looked fine, not like he had lost the match at all. Although "Alpha Supernatural High School" lost, he won. His teammates were bad, what did his teammates' problems have to do with him?

"How about with my current strength, if you don't play next, do you want to compete with me?" Elvis asked straight to the point, his eyes swept from Jiang Tianming to Su Bei, and then glanced at Mu Yunfan and others eagerly.

Although he really wanted to play with these people, they had to compete next, so they probably wouldn't compete with him. So Elvis chose to do the next best thing, defeat Su Bei and others first, and then avenge his shame.

"Not interested." Su Bei decisively refused. He knew that he couldn't lose. If it was before, it would be fine, but if he lost now, it would easily ruin his image. So even though he had at least a 50% chance of winning, he still chose to refuse.

However, if Su Bei was willing to cheat and change his fate before the competition, he could win. But if he was discovered, he would be offline immediately. The risk was too great, and he would not take risks unless it was necessary.

"Why?" Elvis asked unhappily, "Are you scared?"

Su Bei raised his eyebrows: "I don't take provocations, and I don't ask for trouble."

Then he pointed to the people around him who were obviously interested in Elvis's proposal and said, "You have plenty of opponents."

Hearing this, Elvis pursed his lips. It is true that he still has many opponents to fight, but this time he came here mainly to compete with Su Bei and Jiang Tianming, the two people who had defeated him before.

However, Su Bei refused and there was nothing he could do, so he looked at Jiang Tianming and said, "Then let's go first."

While they were fighting, Su Bei had no intention of sightseeing and went straight back to the hotel. He was still thinking about what the nightmare beasts would do next. Calculating the time, the individual battle could last for two days at most, and they should have taken some action.

There are only two places where superpowers often appear in this competition, one is the competition venue, and the other is the hotel. The venue is likely to be dangerous, but this does not mean that the hotel is absolutely safe.

After entering the hotel, Su Bei thought about it and adjusted his luck to the best, and then went to the rooftop. The rooftop has always been a common place for events in various comics and novels. If there is really a foreshadowing of the Nightmare Beast in the hotel, Su Bei thinks it is either on the rooftop or in the underground parking lot.

All the way to the top floor, Su Bei was not worried about encountering any dangers because of his excellent luck. Although it would be useless to adjust his luck to the best when he was really going to die, at most he would die more easily. But before reaching the desperate situation, good luck often allowed him to avoid many dangers.

The rooftop was empty, with only the cold wind blowing. Su Bei stood at the door in silence for a long while, then with great difficulty turned his eyes away from the densely packed compasses of fate floating in the air, and nodded to himself: "I've come to the wrong place, I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

But before he could leave, the door to the rooftop suddenly closed. A shrill voice, like that of a doll, rang out from behind him: "Hey, did you spot us?"

Su Bei froze in place for two seconds, and finally turned around: "Rather than the fact that I discovered you, I am more curious about why the organizers did not discover you. Is the Sesbia government so careless?"

While he was talking, he was also observing the situation on the rooftop. Just by turning around, the entire rooftop had changed drastically. The originally empty place was now filled with many nightmare beasts.

These nightmare beasts are almost all intermediate nightmare beasts, and only the black gourd-shaped nightmare beast that he was talking to is a high-level nightmare beast. At present, it seems that the ability of these nightmare beasts to be invisible together is probably provided by this gourd nightmare beast. This made Su Bei sigh that it was a pity that the other party's color was wrong, otherwise he would suspect that some children's stories had come true.

Although his question just now was meant to ease the embarrassment, it was also a question in Su Bei's mind. What on earth could the Sesbia government do to allow so many nightmare beasts to enter? If this matter were to be exposed, Sesbia would not be able to hold competitions in the next 100 years.

"That's because we avoided the patrol," the Calabash Nightmare said confidently, "Besides, we Nightmare Beasts are not easy to be discovered."

It doesn't explain much, but instead asks the key question: "How do you know we're here?"

Because all high-level nightmare beasts share a perspective, even though Su Bei has never seen the Calabash Nightmare Beast, the Calabash Nightmare Beast knows Su Bei very well. Of course, not all nightmare beasts will pay attention to this. For them, the shared perspective is like a huge, multi-grid screen with countless displays.

It is not as difficult for nightmare beasts to process information as humans, but it is impossible for them to accept all the information freely. Among them, the higher the spiritual power of nightmare beasts, the more information they receive.

The Calabash Nightmare Beast has a high mental strength. In addition, Su Bei and others can be regarded as the group of fifteen-year-olds who appear most frequently on the big screen, so it naturally has an impression of them.

It was precisely because it knew that this human was not the kind of person who was wholeheartedly helping others, and even liked to stay out of things most of the time, that it did not take action at the first opportunity.

If the situation can be resolved peacefully, the Calabash Nightmare Beast definitely does not want to fight. Apart from other things, it can sneak in here smoothly because it has no offensive power. Not only it, but also the intermediate nightmare beasts here have no offensive power. So even if they have more numbers, it is not certain who will win if they really fight against Su Bei.

Su Bei could naturally see that the other party had no intention of attacking. Several possibilities flashed through his mind, and he replied nonchalantly: "Don't I know enough? I don't want to be implicated in your plan, so of course I have to come and take a look in advance."

The Calabash Nightmare Beast didn't know how much he knew. After talking with other Nightmare Beasts in his mind, he decided to give him a guarantee as Su Bei said, in exchange for him not making trouble: "As long as you don't participate in the competition, you won't be affected by the Nightmare Beasts inside."
