Chapter 177
Jiang Yunu actually found nothing.
At least that was the case when she quickly retreated to the side and made a dodgy move.
There was no strange wind blowing in the air, no suspicious smell came to my nose, and no unusual sound was detected by my ears...
But when all her sensory feedback told her that "everything was normal", only deep in her heart, her fighting consciousness, which seemed to come from her natural instinct, told her: [Be careful].
The dodging that seemed to be avoiding the air made several audience members in the audience look confused.
"What is Jiang Yunu hiding from?" someone asked this from the audience. In addition to confusion, there was also a hint of scorn in the tone, as if they thought her act of hiding from the void was hilarious.
However, Senior Jin Qing said those words in time.
Jin Qing did do something that required her schoolmate to dodge.
The scary thing is that even though Jin Qing seemed to have admitted that she had done something just now, Jiang Yunu's evasion was not a one-man comedy. For most people in the audience, they still didn't know what Jin Qing had just done.
There was no sign of supernatural power flowing.
Jin Qing's supernatural power was displayed openly before the battle bell rang, allowing everyone including Jiang Yunu to see it appear and witness its "disappearance".
Only Jin Qing's personal admission and Jiang Yunu's reaction told everyone that Jin Qing's supernatural power was still there.
It's here and never really goes away.
"Senior sister is so awesome." Jiang Yunu said after dodging an attack that she couldn't even see.
This was a compliment that came from the heart. She had just witnessed an unprecedented supernatural attack method that was not included in any combat experience she had accumulated.
The new form of supernatural attack made it difficult for Jiang Yunu to figure out how its energy circuit was constructed, and he couldn't figure out how Jin Qing made his supernatural power "invisible".
Jin Qing stood at the other end of the fighting stage and smiled. She said, "You can try to dodge the next attack."
The senior's words were not provocative.
It's more like advising a new student to try more with new test questions.
Jin Qing took the initiative to recommend herself to be the last opponent of Jiang Yunuo in the second round of the competition. Her original intention was to test the depth of this "excellent freshman" and observe whether he had the possibility of being absorbed into the Golden Uriel Academy, which has never been prosperous.
But because the junior sister was very pleasing to the eye and was unexpectedly polite and sweet-talking, this originally planned "trial match" and "friendly match" as Jiang Yunuo called it had been unilaterally decided by senior sister Jin Qing to become a teaching match for the future newcomers of the school team.
Jiang Yunu was feeling it with his heart.
Feel everything.
The wind, air, humidity, temperature, subtle environmental pressure, odor molecules...all the elements that can be perceived externally through the body's senses, none of them have changed.
Everything was so quiet, like a lake bathed in sunshine, without wind or waves.
The thin and resilient thread of supernatural power slowly spread out around Jiang Yunu. She decided to turn passivity into initiative and let her supernatural power be like a bunch of vital tentacles. They began to actively explore the surroundings, touching with their tentacles to see if there were any signs of other supernatural powers lurking in the dark.
From the perspective of an observer, this scene has a quiet and eerie beauty.
Senior Jin Qing smiled gently. She seemed to have done something, yet it also seemed as if she had done nothing.
Jiang Yunu, always so impetuous in the previous three battles, remained motionless. Only green supernatural tentacles surrounded her, extending outward from her center. The shimmering green light shone on her skin and her pale hair, casting a green filter over her.
At a certain moment, Pei Ya, who was also paying close attention to the stage in the audience, thought: Jiang Yunu looked a little bit unlike a human at this moment.
Pei Ya had absolutely no intention of taking advantage of her friend's competition to secretly say something disparaging to her friend from the audience.
Her thoughts were completely natural, coming from what she saw on the stage - she felt that Jiang Yunu at this moment looked like a character that would appear in a fantasy game.
She became one with her innate elemental talents, and the tentacles that extended out of her were more like growing from her torso than supernatural creations, and were part of her torso.
Jin Qing kept smiling, not seeing any new moves from this senior student.
But suddenly, Jiang Yunu had the same feeling as before - which made her dodge in the opposite direction of the feeling again!
"Sizzle."
It was a very small sound. If Jiang Yunu had not had sensitive ears and her all-round senses were not at full focus at that moment, allowing her to pay attention to every subtle change on the fighting stage, then such a slight sound would most likely have been carelessly overlooked.
It felt like a weak electric current, or like an ordinary scratch.
Jiang Yunu's supernatural tentacles seemed to have hooked onto something the moment she sensed the attack, and the strange sound was also emitted at that moment.
"Senior." Jiang Yunu manipulated her special ability and spread her tentacles wider, asking, "Did I catch you just now?"
Senior Jin Qing smiled, "I think with your personality, your definition of 'caught' should be a bit higher, right?"
The senior student seemed to be actively playing the role of "prey," attracting the junior students whose hunting techniques were still immature to learn how to actually catch her.
Jiang Yunu's special tentacles suddenly gave up exploring around him. They suddenly swept forward and quickly passed the center line of the battle stage!
The white-haired girl didn't seem to care at all whether doing so would expose her own weaknesses, leaving only gaps around her for sneak attacks.
"Then if I just grab the senior sister directly, won't you be able to operate so delicately and make your supernatural power invisible?" Jiang Yunu's voice floated into Jin Qing's ears, and her supernatural power had already reached the senior sister.
Jin Qing's pupils constricted for a moment.
But overall, Senior Jin Qing's reaction was relatively calm and collected.
"It's a bad thing to overexpose yourself when you're not sure of your opponent's abilities," the senior student responded methodically.
"Sizzle."
The sound of the supernatural tentacles touching something was heard again.
But along with it came a muffled sound. Something came rushing from the side and slammed into Jiang Yunu's side.
Jin Qing actually held back. She simply wanted to make her junior understand the risks of advancing against someone with the "invisibility ability," and she intended to use a blunt attack to halt the opponent's advance.
In conventional predictions, being attacked will force back the opponent's attack, forcing the nearby supernatural power to be partially withdrawn so that it can be used for self-protection and defense.
——But Jiang Yunu is not the kind of person who can be "conventionally predicted".
The white-haired girl right in front of Jin Qing didn't hide at all. Her special ability was like a strangler vine ready to strike, slowly circling around her.
The invisible supernatural attack hit Jiang Yunu. Her body, which was shorter than other freshmen, tilted to the side due to the impact, but her eyes were bright and seemed to be burning with fire.
Jiang Yunu seemed insensitive to the pain. Her body, tilted by the impact, quickly straightened. At the same time, part of her supernatural power kept Jin Qing trapped, while the other part stabbed towards the place where she was hit, tightly encircling her! She firmly bound the invisible, intangible supernatural power that only became tangible at the moment of the attack.
"I caught the senior sister." Jiang Yunu smiled and coughed lightly.
She looks very happy.
However, Jin Qing felt a surge of shock in her heart as she looked at the white-haired girl in front of her - she was absolutely certain that when Jiang Yunu's ability attacked her, Jiang Yunu's original intention must have been to "capture the leader first" and try to break her invisibility skill by attacking her directly.
However, when she pointed out that the opponent had exposed himself and revealed his intention to attack, in that short reaction time of less than two seconds, Jiang Yunu immediately changed his tactics and decided to go with the flow:
Eat the attack and capture her power the moment she attacks.
What a quick reaction and decisive execution this requires.
...and a crazy playing style?
If she hadn't heard the cough mixed in with the laughter, Jin Qing would have almost thought that she hadn't launched the attack just now, or had withdrawn the energy halfway.
"Senior?" The white-haired girl seemed to have some doubts about Jin Qing's pause, and she took the initiative to call her.
During this period, Jiang Yunu was not idle at all. Ever since she used her own supernatural power to control Jin Qing's supernatural power, she has been trying every possible way to see if she could make the other party's invisible energy visible in mid-air.
Even if Jin Qing's special ability does not manifest itself actively, Jiang Yunu still has the ability to perceive it.
Using super powers to contact and sense super powers is a bit special, but Jiang Yunu can always quickly get started with things related to perception and exploration.
Jin Qing was not only brought back to her senses by the call, but also felt Jiang Yunu's "exploration".
Compared to Linette Nagu, Song Yang, and the two defeated third-year seniors, Jin Qing may be the one who has felt the most obvious impact of Jiang Yunuo's "energy circuit exploration" since she entered the school.
This feeling is very strange, especially since the two people are still rivals and the battle is not over yet.
So the senior sister came to her senses and used her supernatural power to "push" Jiang Yunu away.
"Exploring other people's energy circuits is dangerous," Jin Qing said. "It's like waving a flag in someone else's territory. You could be wiped out at any time, or even have part of your energy trapped."
This time, Jiang Yunu did not withstand the attack head-on at close range. She had already "touched" Jin Qing's supernatural power once, and when the next attack came, she had a clearer prediction of it.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior sister." Jiang Yunu said after he had moved a distance away.
Jin Qing's special ability was captured by her briefly, and it had returned to an invisible state. However, for Jiang Yunu, just one contact was enough to make her no longer have the aimless feeling of punching the air as before.
Probing, waiting, taking the initiative to attack, luring the enemy to attack, counter-encirclement and suppression...
Jiang Yunu and senior Jin Qing had a tug-of-war.
In the end, it was a draw.
