Chapter 173
Better at physical fitness than supernatural powers.
——This is Song Yang’s strength that Jiang Yunu has long been familiar with.
However, she has always had doubts about Song Yang's so-called "shortcomings".
No matter what, Golden Uriel Academy is still a high-level supernatural school in the upper three districts. Even though the school has suffered from a "decline crisis" in recent years and has a tendency to be overtaken by other schools with strong development momentum in the following places, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Golden Uriel Academy has not really declined yet, and its comprehensive strength still occupies a place in the upper three districts.
There are some barriers to admission to school.
Although Song Yang has some shortcomings in his supernatural powers, he is still able to pass the entrance examination through normal channels, which makes Jiang Yunu guess that his "shortcomings" may not actually be that short.
"Anyway, as far as I know, I should be the only freshman this year who really faces the problem of using superpowers and needs to take 'special channels' to buy a place in school." Pei Ya even used herself as an example and openly talked about her own uniqueness so that it could serve as a reference for Jiang Yunu.
"..." Jiang Yunu didn't know what to say for a moment. She felt that Pei Ya's "contribution" to her was a bit too much.
So she reached out her hand and tried to rub Pei Ya's hair, imitating the way the senior students and teachers had rubbed their own hair.
Pei Ya was obviously not used to this kind of contact, but she didn't hide.
The girl with thick glasses tilted her neck slightly, shrank to the other side, and then stopped.
"I'm a little worried," Jiang Yunu said after stroking Pei Ya's hair. "Do you think Song Yang, while seemingly straightforward and innocent, is secretly hiding his special abilities, preparing them as his 'trump card' in battle, ready to suddenly use them and give me a scare?"
Pei Ya thought with her hair messed up by Jiang Yunu, and said hesitantly, "...No way? He doesn't look that smart."
Song Yang, who said "he doesn't look that smart", smiled with his big white teeth, as if he saw fresh cabbage, and looked at Jiang Yunu and him standing on the same fighting stage happily.
"Finally, today has come!" Song Yang did not hide his joy at all.
As usual, there was a two-minute time limit for the energy overflow screen to rise. After a winter vacation, Jiang Yunu stood on the battle stage again, and he inexplicably felt a bit nostalgic.
Song Yang seized these two minutes to chat with Jiang Yunu: "Last night, thinking about fighting you today, I was so excited that I didn't get to see you until 3:30 in the morning."
"...This time sounds quite late." Jiang Yunu still remembered that at the end of last semester, when Song Yang chased her and asked her to promise to give priority to him this semester, Song Yang also specifically emphasized that his original schedule was "10 pm to 7 am", a man with a good schedule who needed to sleep ten hours a day.
"You didn't get enough sleep, is that okay?" Jiang Yunu, still concerned about her opponent, said matter-of-factly, "Exercising vigorously without enough sleep can easily lead to sudden death."
"It's okay." Song Yang's neat and white teeth could almost reflect the sunlight - he never took back his smile after he went on stage.
He said optimistically, "There are emergency medical cabins throughout the arena, with one-click access to every battle station. If I'm ever in serious trouble, they'll definitely come and rescue me in time."
Jiang Yunu gave a thumbs up to his opponent's good mentality.
Song Yang's mentality was indeed good, and the atmosphere was relaxed when chatting with her, as if the two of them were not going to fight each other next, and the environment they were in was not a fighting stage.
But two minutes later, the bell rang to start the game.
Song Yang did not hide his smile, his eyes looked straight at Jiang Yunu.
Jiang Yunu could clearly see Song Yang's pupils dilate from a distance of almost half the fighting stage.
——Songyang became more excited like a fighting beast hearing a horn.
A smile was still on the lips of the tall male classmate. He had never given Jiang Yunu any sense of oppression with his size before. However, at this moment, his physical presence was suddenly infinitely highlighted, turning him from a tall and harmless existence into an existence that warned Jiang Yunu's combat awareness.
When Song Yang rushed over at a speed that was totally disproportionate to his size, Jiang Yunu quickly slid sideways to dodge. When Song Yang's figure was right in front of her, she suddenly realized - she knew what feeling Song Yang gave her!
Like the stone giant she had fought in that holographic game!
However, compared with the stone giant, the fire elemental beast in the game, Song Yang has no defects such as slow movement speed and inflexible limbs.
He is a tall, well-developed opponent with agile movements and quick reactions!
The advantages of size and strength, coupled with speed and agility, allowed Song Yang, who initiated the attack, to "chase" Jiang Yunu several times on the battlefield in a blink of an eye. Jiang Yunu dodged continuously, and on the one hand, she was glad that she had a good agility talent. Her speed allowed her to successfully avoid Song Yang's swift attack. On the other hand, she also verified another advantage of Song Yang - physical strength.
Song Yang's attack was swift and fierce. When his attack failed, he could mobilize his surprisingly agile body, turn in time, and dynamically pursue Jiang Yunu, the "moving target".
Continuous explosive attacks require an instantaneous accumulation of energy, but Song Yang can attack with continuous and even force without losing strength with each attack!
This kind of continuous high-physical exertion activity is enough to show that he has an excellent physique and really good physical strength.
This was the first time that Jiang Yunu encountered an opponent with maxed-out strength and speed. He was different from all the opponents she had encountered before, both in and outside the game.
She used her "swiftness and agility" to continuously dodge Song Yang's attacks, subconsciously observing the opponent and not immediately calling upon her own special abilities.
"Where is your special ability?" Song Yang asked first.
The tall opponent was like a large cat with both size and agility. He rushed in front of Jiang Yunu, and the wind caused by his movement hit Jiang Yunu's exposed skin. The next moment, Jiang Yunu keenly noticed something strange in the wind, and she turned around to avoid it.
"Bang!"
This was the sound of Song Yang's fist hitting the fence post of the fighting arena.
Just now, the opponent's fist wind broke through the wind brought by the opponent's movement, allowing Jiang Yunu to dodge in time.
Just hearing this sound made people feel pain in their hands, but Song Yang's expression did not change at all.
He stared at Jiang Yunu with burning eyes, trying to catch any subtle signs of her movements.
"You are the most agile opponent I've ever met." Song Yang was also constantly observing Jiang Yunu. "Your physical fitness is not much worse than mine, and you can catch up with my speed."
Song Yang's usual fighting style actually had a bit of "intimidation of opponents" in it - he was tall and moved quickly, and coupled with his carefully honed physical skills, every move he made was powerful and vigorous.
Many times, those who fought against him were startled by him suddenly rushing in front of them before they had time to call upon their special powers, and then their original offensive rhythm was disrupted by him.
——But Jiang Yunu didn’t.
Jiang Yunu only seemed to show a hint of surprise when he just started to move.
But while being surprised by his speed, the white-haired girl dodged nimbly and had no intention of using her special ability, and did not fall into his "rhythm disruption" trick at all.
In this way, the battle situation seemed more like Jiang Yunu was "consuming" him.
"Do you want to compete with me in physical strength?"
When Song Yang asked this question, he and Jiang Yunu had already fought two rounds on the fighting stage.
From the moment the bell rang to signal the start of the match, from the perspective of the audience next to the stage, the two of them hardly stopped on the stage for a moment, like two spinning tops constantly spinning back and forth.
"Only a fool would compete with a strong man in terms of physical strength." Jiang Yunu ducked to avoid the elbow that swept over his head, and took the time to reply.
Her breathing was relatively steady, and there was no rapid breathing or panting while she spoke.
Song Yang asked again, "How long do you plan to keep your supernatural power hidden?"
Jiang Yunu's purely observational behavior was mistaken for a tactic.
But because of the word "hide", the white-haired girl paused before asking a question: "What about you?"
Song Yang's smooth offensive movements suddenly paused.
There is a way!
Jiang Yunu's face remained expressionless. She continued to ask, "Where is your ability hidden now? You've been hiding it all along, haven't you?"
This is a complete lie.
It just so happens that Song Yang has a little bit of thoughts, but not much.
A trace of embarrassment suddenly flashed across Song Yang's usually straightforward and cheerful face, and his next move was a little slow.
"...I usually like to drain my opponent's energy almost completely, or put psychological pressure on them from the start, causing them to lose their rhythm and make mistakes." Song Yang said honestly, "Then I will use my supernatural powers."
——Just right to defeat the opponent with weak defense in one go.
Jiang Yunu: "..."
No, wait!
How come you really said everything!
Even Jiang Yunu couldn't have foreseen this development. She admitted that she had deliberately deceived him, and also admitted that she had vaguely suspected from the beginning that Song Yang was not such a straightforward person.
But with this kind of situation where he hides his ulterior motives and confesses everything immediately after being prodded, I would like to ask Song Yang, the classmate in front of me who is still confessing while being beaten, whether I should think that you are scheming or too naive?
Jiang Yunu couldn't figure it out.
Jiang Yunu couldn't figure it out.
"I also want to see your special abilities." Jiang Yunu said bluntly.
She was also misunderstood as someone who was "hiding," thinking she wanted to use up her energy before charging up for an attack. Jiang Yunu's observation and analysis were almost complete, and she was already preparing to use her supernatural powers to test Song Yang's ability to respond.
It was just a coincidence that Song Yang's confession gave her the opportunity to bypass the "chase" and fast forward to the supernatural power segment.
This is ultimately a friendly battle between acquaintances.
Song Yang also wanted to experience being Jiang Yunu's opponent, and his desire to personally experience Jiang Yunu's fighting style was greater than his desire to win or lose.
Jiang Yunu saw Song Yang's special abilities as he wished.
It was a wall of fire that suddenly stood up. The edge of the bright red supernatural light was like a flaming tongue of fire, allowing her to still feel the heat even though she had distanced herself in time.
There were two animal heads on the wall of fire, their mouths tightly closed, but if Jiang Yunu's judgment was correct, these were two other energy ejection points.
Jiang Yunu's special ability is still delicate and meticulous.
Before Song Yang could react, green enhanced energy lines wrapped around the beast heads, forcibly blocking their mouths from opening and closing.
Under Song Yang's control, the fire wall moved towards Jiang Yunu. The beast head was unable to break through the blockade and carry out targeted flame spraying, so it simply used the entire fire wall to launch an energy collision with her.
The width of this wall of fire is basically the same as the width of the platform, which can be said to have completely blocked Jiang Yunu's escape route.
Then Jiang Yunu didn't dodge.
Her special power line penetrated deep into the mouth of the beast head, transforming into a horizontal green line knife, and made a heavy horizontal cut at the fire wall where the beast head was located.
The white-haired girl directly cut through the wall of fire above the mouth of the beast's head and jumped sideways through the energy gap that was forcibly opened.
She successfully broke through.
