Chapter 43

"Jiang Tianming." Su Bei answered without hesitation.

After hearing his answer, Lan Subing decisively chose to vote for her own prophet: "Then I will also vote for Jiang Tianming."

Mu Tieren and Mo Xiaotian said in unison without hesitation: "Jiang Tianming!"

Seeing this, Wu Mingbai curled his lips, looked at Su Bei, and said unhappily: "It's ok for you to cheat by yourself, but you can't lead others to cheat together!"

Lan Subing, who knows them best, walked over and Chong Wuming held out his hand: "Keep it up next time."

This time, Wu Mingbai smiled sincerely, clapped his hands over to high-five her, and said confidently, "I will definitely win next time!"

Of course, he would not give up just because of a single defeat. He had often won and lost in previous fights with Jiang Tianming. This time, the opponent had hidden a trump card and caught him off guard. Wu Mingliang was sure that he would not lose so easily next time.

"What about me?" Jiang Tianming also walked over and stretched out his hand to Lan Subing.

Lan Subing walked over and high-fived him as well: "Congratulations!"

While they were celebrating, the referee came over and said, "The people who advanced this time are Su Bei, Lan Subing, Si Zhaohua, and Jiang Tianming. Now let's draw lots to decide the opponents for the next round."

As he spoke, he took out a lottery tube with four wooden sticks in it.

While the Subei people were drawing lots, Mutie asked, "Teacher, can I go back and take a shower first?"

"I want to go to the infirmary too." Feng Lan followed.

"There's a school doctor here. I'll call him for you later." The referee first met Feng Lan's request, then shook his head at the wooden iron man, "You can't leave now. You have to wait until the first place comes out before you can leave."

At this time, the other side had already drawn lots, Su Bei against Si Zhaohua, and Jiang Tianming against Lan Subing.

The result of the battle against Si Zhaohua was actually quite good for Su Bei. Jiang Tianming only needed to use the comics to see what the opponent had. Rather than forcing the opponent to reveal his trump card in a competition, Su Bei hoped to establish his character by revealing the opponent's trump card.

The description of being evenly matched is sufficient to mention Si Zhaohua and Wu Mingbai, there is no need to add him.

Because Su Bei and Si Zhaohua were relatively unfamiliar with each other, they walked straight onto the stage without any greetings.

We have already met in the finals, so of course we can't be careless. Si Zhaohua directly used the [Angel] ability to transform, and gracefully bowed: "I have always been curious about your ability, and this time I can finally see it."

After saying that, he flapped his wings, and dozens of feathers flew towards Su Bei like hidden weapons. Su Bei dodged this round of attacks by bending down, and at the same time used his mental power to control five pointed gears, also attacking Si Zhaohua in the form of hidden weapons.

The reason why I didn't use this trick in the previous game against Feng Lan was that the opponent could predict it in advance. Using this attack method would not only make it difficult to cause effective damage to him, but would also expose my own trump card.

But you don’t have to worry about this when fighting against Si Zhaohua.

Facing the several gears rushing towards him, Si Zhaohua closed his wings and easily blocked the attack, then spread his wings; "It looks like your attack method is very similar to mine."

After he finished speaking, all the feathers on the outermost circle of his wings suddenly detached and flew towards Subei.

"Are you really not afraid of baldness?" Su Bei complained, aiming at the direction of the feather's attack and trying to change his body shape, dodging left and right.

He managed to dodge the attack with great difficulty, but before his body could relax, Su Bei suddenly heard a sound of breaking air coming from behind him.

His pupils shrank, and he subconsciously did a side flip to hide to the side. The next second, several feathers flew past where he was originally.

But because he dodged too hastily, he was still accidentally scratched by two feathers. One scratched his school uniform, almost tearing it apart immediately, and the other feather seemed to lightly scratch his cheek, instantly exploding a bloody mark.

These feathers can actually be used as boomerangs!

They did not fall to the ground after circling once, but returned to Si Zhaohua's wings and each took up their own position.

After the feathers scattered on the ground had completely returned to their original positions, Si Zhaohua smiled elegantly and respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, but I won't go bald."

Su Bei half-knelt on the ground, wiped the blood from his face, and looked up at Si Zhaohua flying in the air. He knew very well that this was not going to work. If he continued like this, he would just be beaten passively.

Even if he is bound to lose, he has to lose handsomely, okay?

Still need to try.

Thinking this, he stretched out his hand and swung it, and five more gears flew over. At first glance, it seemed that they were thrown out by him, rather than guided by his mental power.

Because his body was larger with wings, it was not convenient for Si Zhaohua to move quickly. For attacks with a relatively large range, he always chose to use his wings to block them.

Looking at his defensive moves, Su Bei's eyes lit up. Whenever Si Zhaohua defended, the feathers would not attack. Could this be his attack loophole? If they could catch him at the moment of attack and defense, could they effectively harm him?

Although Si Zhaohua was not worried about failure because he was at a high altitude, he did not intend to give Su Bei a chance. Seeing him squatting on the ground, he immediately threw out a few feathers to attack.

Su Bei rolled on the ground to avoid it, then bounced up. He glanced at it with the corner of his eye, and then saw that several feathers had actually been inserted into a small section of the ring. If this thing was stuck in your body...

Taking a deep breath, he immediately conjured up ten gears again, five of which attacked Si Zhaohua in front of him. Si Zhaohua was fooled and closed his wings to block his body.

After he completely blocked him, Su Bei immediately controlled his mental power and sent the five extra gears that he had conjured up earlier to Si Zhaohua's neck. He was just waiting for him to open his wings and then give him a fatal blow!

However, what he didn't expect was that Si Zhaohua actually said with a smile: "I knew your ability is not what you showed."

After saying this, he didn't open his wings, but instead swung out five feathers, knocking down his gears one by one.

"You can still attack when you close your feathers." Su Bei immediately realized that he had been fooled.

Si Zhaohua's wings slowly opened, revealing a face with a faint smile. He nodded: "Not only that, I can also see the situation outside from my wings."

This is also the reason why he was able to easily knock down the five gears without opening his wings.

Well, the previous idea obviously failed. I don't know how many people Si Zhaohua has deceived with this method. Su Bei sighed and continued to dodge the opponent's attack. And this time Si Zhaohua didn't pretend. Even when he was using his wings to dodge Su Bei's attack, he didn't forget to continue attacking with his feathers.

I can only thank him for not being able to use his wings very flexibly, otherwise if Si Zhaohua could change positions easily, Su Bei would have just given up now.

The reason why he could dodge so many times now, besides his good agility, the most important thing was that Si Zhaohua's position could not move too much, so that the first attack of those feathers came from one direction.

And those boomerang-like attacks that followed could be easily avoided by Su Bei who used his mental power.

Of course, he had to admit that he was able to dodge so easily and without panic because of his experience in the previous battle with Qi Huang. After experiencing the same attack once, he would naturally be much more comfortable the second time.

However, this is a big challenge for Su Bei's mental power. After all, he not only needs to use his mental power to sense the situation behind him, but also needs to control his mental power to attack the enemy.

Even though his gears could not cause any effective harm to Si Zhaohua, he could not stop this behavior.

Once he gave up attacking Si Zhaohua, it would give the other party more time and opportunity to attack. If he made a mistake, all the steps would be wrong, and it would be even more impossible for him to organize effective interference again.

Su Bei dodged while trying to think of a countermeasure. If he failed like this, he would become Si Zhaohua's counterpart.

Ordinary means of attack would not cause harm to the opponent. If you want to cause harm, you must catch the opponent by surprise. But Si Zhaohua was in the sky, and he had a clear view of the ground. Even when he was protected by his wings, it did not affect his ability to see the situation outside. How could he catch the opponent by surprise?

Looking at the sharp feathers shooting towards him again, Su Bei suddenly had an idea.

This time, he did not dodge, or rather, did not completely avoid it. Instead, he deliberately dodged it, and when the feather closest to him was about to pass by him, he reached behind his back and grabbed it.

Instantly, a bloody mark appeared on his palm. Su Bei felt the stinging pain, but without even frowning, he conjured a gear on his palm and attached it tightly to the feather.

Soon, Si Zhaohua had thrown away most of the feathers on his wings, and he chose to recall the feathers.

He couldn't release a lot of feathers at once, although if he did that, Su Bei would definitely not be able to avoid them all, but this would also make him lose his defenses.

Compared to Su Bei, he would definitely suffer more if both sides were hurt. So Si Zhaohua only planned to grind slowly. Avoiding these feathers was not an easy task. From Su Bei's increasingly pale face, it can be seen that he was also exhausted.

When his strength is exhausted, that will be the time for Si Zhaohua to win.

Seeing the feathers slowly floating up to the sky, Su Bei also let go of the feather in his hand and let it fly up. But at the same time, the gear, under the control of his mental power, stuck tightly to the bottom of the feather and floated up with it.

In order to attract Si Zhaohua's attention, he deliberately threw a few gears to interfere. However, these gears only grazed Si Zhaohua and would not really hurt him, lest he would use his wings to block it.

Si Zhaohua was indeed not prepared for his own feather. After flying to the side a little to avoid the gear, the feather easily returned to its place with the "undercover".

Restraining his excitement, Su Bei threw out five gears again. This time, they were no longer just grazing the edge, but going straight to Si Zhaohua's face. He wanted to force Si Zhaohua to use his wings to shield his face.

Seeing that he was about to be shot in the head, Si Zhaohua immediately folded his wings and blocked them in front of him.

Just when he finished retracting his wings, the gears hidden in the wings suddenly moved, and the sharp tips went straight to Si Zhaohua's throat.

Once the two sides come into contact, Su Bei will definitely be judged as the winner. As for whether Si Zhaohua will be injured, he is not worried. The school is not stupid and will definitely take adequate protective measures at this time.

“Hmm!”

The next second, a groan of pain was heard, and the figure in the air dropped rapidly and suddenly fell down. Unfortunately, even when it fell, the wings still tightly protected the person inside, so Su Bei couldn't make a finishing move.

The referee did not come on stage at this time, and Su Bei's heart sank. He knew that his plan must have failed. Unfortunately, he could not use his mental power to sense the situation inside the wings, and the gears had already "lost contact" at this time.

Soon, the wings opened, revealing what was inside.

Si Zhaohua's face was dark, and blood was dripping from his chin. He held a gear in his hand and slowly raised his head to look at Su Bei: "What a pity, you almost succeeded."

It was indeed just a little bit off. Si Zhaohua had been completely relaxed under the protection of his wings, but suddenly he felt his wings move. The next second he saw a gear flying towards him.

He was so frightened that he could not do anything else but to duck almost subconsciously. It was this ducking that allowed him to successfully avoid the fatal injury and endure the attack at the cost of a bruised chin.

This was the first time that Si Zhaohua had been attacked so severely since he was born. He was frightened, but not angry. He was attacked because he was not as skilled as others, which allowed Su Bei to succeed. It was better to be tricked in a competition in the academy than in a real battlefield.

For the first time, he looked his opponent in the eye and called out his name in all seriousness: "Su Bei, you are very powerful. Next, I will use my most powerful move to show my respect for you."

"Divine Judgment—"

Subei: ""

When they walked out of the ring, Su Bei had a stinky face, while Si Zhaohua was pale and looked a little exhausted. Moreover, both of them were injured in the battle, and both had injuries on their faces.

However, the atmosphere between the two of them was much better than before they entered the ring. It was obvious that Si Zhaohua was no longer as arrogant as before. As for Su Bei, although his expression was not good, his intention could be seen from the fact that he was still willing to walk side by side with Si Zhaohua.

"No...are you imitating me and Zhou Renjie?" Looking at their expressions, Mu Tieren asked uncertainly. Of course, he was not referring to the harmonious atmosphere between the two, but to the sour face and weak state.

Ai Baozhu rushed over and supported Si Zhaohua: "Zhaohua, are you okay?"

Hearing this, Si Zhaohua immediately looked at her and said, "Don't call me Si Shao now."

Ai Baozhu's pretty face turned red - really as red as a tomato - and she said shyly: "Don't you think calling me Master Si is very impressive?"

Si Zhaohua just smiled and said nothing.

Su Bei, who was walking side by side with Si Zhaohua, finally couldn't stand it anymore: "That's very immature. And, I think he really has something wrong. Let's take him to have his brain checked after the monthly exam."

Ai Baozhu: ""

She was stunned for a moment, looked at Su Bei, then looked at Si Zhaohua, and suddenly remembered an important question that she had forgotten to ask because she was too concerned: "Who won?"

If it was before, she would never doubt Si Zhaohua's victory. But the performance of these two people was too confusing, both of their handsome faces were injured, and Si Zhaohua was still so weak.

To be honest, Ai Baozhu knew about Si Zhaohua's ability. In her opinion, it was incredible that Su Bei could hurt Si Zhaohua, so incredible that she couldn't even be sure of the outcome of this match.

Mo Xiaotian and others also came over, all very curious about the outcome of their battle.

"I win." Si Zhaohua replied.

Before Ai Baozhu could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Su Beiliang reply, "But he will definitely lose in the next round."

"Why?" Ai Baozhu asked subconsciously.

Su Bei sneered and imitated Si Zhaohua's previous tone: "'Divine Judgment'!"

This answer was so unexpected that Ai Baozhu took a while to react before her eyes widened and she exclaimed in surprise: "You used this move!"

"What moves? What moves?" Mo Xiaotian actively joined in the fun. "Is it the move you used when someone asked you to do it that day?"

Si Zhaohua nodded: "He is very powerful, I don't want to lose."

What he meant was that in his opinion, if he didn't use his ultimate move, he would most likely lose.

Even Ai Baozhu, who always worshipped Si Zhaohua unconditionally, did not refute his words. She knew very well that since Su Bei was able to hurt Si Zhaohua the first time under such an almost unbreakable protection, he might be able to hurt him the second time.

Moreover, the wound on Si Zhaohua was very delicate, between the neck and the chin. It was obvious that the wound should have been aimed at the throat, but it was avoided.

"What are you going to do in the finals?" Ai Baozhu couldn't help but worry. She knew that after using the ultimate move, Si Zhaohua's mental power would be exhausted. Not to mention using the ultimate move again, even using supernatural powers would be a bit strenuous.

Si Zhaohua was not too worried about this: "Lan Subing's [Word Spirit] can't do anything to me..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Bei: "Jiang Tianming, the winner will be Jiang Tianming."

Hearing this, the two of them were stunned for a moment at the same time, then looked at each other, and remembered what Feng Lan had said before, that Su Bei might also have the ability to predict the future.

But Ai Baozhu couldn't figure it out: "How is it possible that Jiang Tianming can resist the [Word Spirit]?"

Although she was somewhat unaccustomed to Lan Subing, she was still very aware of the strength of her supernatural power. After all, she herself was sent out by the [Word Spirit], and she still remembered the feeling of being completely unable to resist.

Su Bei didn't say anything, he just knew the result. As for how Jiang Tianming won, that could only be known by reading the comics.

After a moment of silence, Si Zhaohua chose to believe him: "Isn't that even easier? Even if I can only use my supernatural powers, I can easily defeat Jiang Tianming."

Seeing his confident look, Su Bei simply couldn't bear to look at him. Wu Mingbai even sneered directly: "Meng did a good job, but our team will happily accept the first place!"

Si Zhaohua ignored Wu Mingbai's provocation and continued to say to Su Bei: "You are very good at physical training. Have you been training since you were a child?"

He can be said to be the first person who has truly faced Su Bei's physical skills so far. If he didn't know what the other party's special abilities were, he would really think that Su Bei's special abilities were related to physical skills.

Su Bei nodded.

"How strong?" Ai Baozhu asked curiously. She knew Si Zhaohua very well and knew that since Su Bei could get such an evaluation from him, his physical skills must be amazing.

Sure enough, Si Zhaohua slowly uttered four words: "First among freshmen."

As they were talking, Jiang Tianming and Lan Subing came out together. They were both good-tempered when facing their friends, and they didn't make any unnecessary noises, but announced the results directly.

Jiang Tianming: "I won."

Seeing that everyone had an understood look on their faces and no one showed any surprise, Jiang Tianming was stunned for a moment. He first looked at Si Zhaohua and the others, wondering why they didn't question him.

Then he suddenly showed an understanding expression and moved his eyes to Su Bei: "You... guessed it"

Su Bei nodded: "Congratulations."

Jiang Tianming stared at Su Bei and saw the scars on his face almost immediately. Thinking of the scars on Si Zhaohua's face just now, he finally remembered to ask a key question: "So who will my opponent be in the next round?"

"It was Si Zhaohua." Su Bei answered calmly. He had calmed down now, but when he thought about the situation at that time, he still found it absurd.

Why bother? Su Bei thought, after his failed attack, there was basically no chance of winning. He was ready to give up, but Si Zhaohua suddenly made a big move.

But now thinking about it, this wasn't entirely a bad thing. Unlike the previous time when Si Zhaohua was asked to use his ultimate, this time, maybe because it was a normal game, the referee didn't stop him immediately. Moreover, when "Judgment of Holy Light" was about to be completely released, he appeared in time with a large shield to block the attack.

It is precisely because of this that, apart from the final attack, Northern Jiangsu can be said to have fully experienced the effects of the "Divine Judgment".

When Si Zhaohua shouted that sentence, he felt that he was locked in. This kind of lock was completely unavoidable, and he didn't know if it was because the skill's suppression was too strong, but he had no desire to dodge in his heart, and could only stand there and wait for the judgment to come.

Although he did not dodge, in fact every cell in his body was screaming danger. Su Bei was sure that once he was hit by this skill, he would be almost certain to die.

Among novice psychics, such skills are completely a dimensionality reduction and crushing.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask in his heart: "He used 'Divine Judgment' at this time. Could it be that he was being manipulated by the author?"

If this skill was saved for the finals, Su Bei really couldn't figure out how Jiang Tianming could win.

Of course, even if the truth is really like this, he would not blame Jiang Tianming in his heart. We are all tools created by the author, so it's better to laugh at one another.

The answer from "Comic Consciousness" is always so timely: "No, even if he doesn't use his abilities, Jiang Tianming will still defeat him."

Of course, what it actually wants to say is that even if the author really manipulated Si Zhaohua to use his ultimate move, the purpose was to make him win.

"Comic Consciousness" really doesn't understand why Su Bei acted as if Si Zhaohua could easily win without using his ultimate move. Wasn't it him who successfully hurt the opponent and even almost sent Si Zhaohua out?

In fact, it was the author who was at fault that time, because Si Zhaohua had to win, so he successfully avoided the attack. Otherwise, Su Bei should have won this round of competition.

Although "Comic Consciousness" said so, Su Bei still found it hard to believe: "How can he defeat the three dead that he can summon? One is the first season boss who can control objects, one is a woman who looks a lot like him and is expected to be his mother, and the other is someone who has not shown up yet. Among these three people, is there anyone who can help him stop that guy from using his ultimate move?"

To be honest, that's a bit too outrageous. At least for now, the power of the dead used by Jiang Tianming is beyond his own ability.

Like the boss in the first season, he has a very strong ability to control objects, and can easily control objects that are many times heavier than him. But Jiang Tianming has always only used this ability to control small and light things, which in a sense is a bit like his advanced mental power.

Therefore, Su Bei has actually been speculating that although Jiang Tianming has mastered the supernatural powers of the dead through [Death Summoning], he can only use the part that he can control and cannot be as powerful as the deceased when he was alive.

And just like he said before, Si Zhaohua's "Divine Judgment" is definitely not effective against new psychics, and they simply cannot resist it.

“Who said that ability can only be used to withstand strong forces? It can also…” Just when he was halfway through his sentence, “Comic Consciousness” suddenly realized that he seemed to have revealed something that was too exaggerated, and he quickly shut up.

Su Bei raised his eyebrows, but showed interest and didn't ask any further questions. In his heart, he had already begun to ponder what "Comic Consciousness" had just said.

How else can we fight against it?

Suddenly, Su Bei had a flash of inspiration in his mind and thought of a possibility.

“…”

If this is really the case, his expression was complicated: "That's really the protagonist's standard configuration."

"Comic Consciousness" didn't know what Su Bei had guessed to make him say that, but it didn't dare to ask, so it could only disappear in shame.

When Su Bei came to his senses, Jiang Tianming and the other two had already walked up to him. They had just finished a game and could rest for a while before the next one. During this time, they also had some questions they wanted to ask Su Bei.

"Why didn't you use your special powers before the game?" Jiang Tianming asked hesitantly.

————————

Su Bei: Great, someone finally asked this question!

The answer is Jiang Tianming. Actually, I originally wanted to give a free point question so that I could give out red envelopes for the Spring Festival... but everyone was quite good at using their imagination ()
