Chapter 88
Xie Shi seized the rare opportunity and finally complained to Jiang Yunu face to face since entering the arena: "Tell me, in this practice match, who can have unlimited physical strength and unlimited superpowers to continuously fight mechanical elemental beasts?"
Jiang Yunu looked as if he had no idea how to write the word "self-knowledge" and replied with a smile: "It's hard to say, what if I can do it?"
Xie Shi was shocked by Jiang Yunu's shamelessness, and for a moment he couldn't think of any words that could dampen his opponent's arrogance - and they were currently in the same group and both represented the Enge school team. Attacking Jiang Yunu was probably also considered an attack on his own side.
Master Xie thought about it and gave Jiang Yunu a long-lost "Hmph!"
I don’t know if I should say anything, but it really happened.
When Jiang Yunu and Xie Shi were still halfway up the mountain from the safe rest area, they encountered the mechanical elemental beast for the second time.
This time, it was no longer the sound of swaying grass leaves that warned of the arrival of the metal beast, but the sudden change of direction of the wind.
Jiang Yunu is an earth-type mutant. Logically, she is more sensitive to all elements related to "earth", so she can smell the difference between the scent of green grass and the scent of forest wood, and can feel the shaking of grass stems and leaves and the vibration of the soil at the first time.
But she is also sensitive to other natural elements.
When the wind blowing through the woods and around the two of them suddenly changed direction, Jiang Yunu sensed it earlier than Xie Shi, and she stopped in the wind.
Xie Shi was a beat slower than Jiang Yunu. He opened his mouth to ask Jiang Yunu what was wrong, but his words stopped before they came out. He also realized that something was wrong with the wind.
Suddenly, a shadow passed over the sky above the forest road. A metallic monster spread its wings and whizzed past the two candidate students, then suddenly turned back somewhere ahead. The wind raised by its wings swirled through the forest, picking up a dozen thin twigs and soft leaves on the branches in the forest, and gathered into a small whirlwind of thin twigs and green leaves.
The whirlwind grew faster and faster, and when it blew close to Jiang Yunu and Xie Shi, it was like a wind arrow.
The branches and leaves wrapped in it have become small hidden weapons attached to the arrows. The leaves are as fast as knives under the blessing of wind speed, and the branches are like hard whips dancing in the air with the wind!
There is no need for anyone to give orders, everyone has the instinct to dodge when faced with such an attack.
Jiang Yunu and Xie Shi jumped to the left and right to dodge, allowing the whirlwind to pass through the space between them.
Fortunately, this winged mechanical elemental beast does not have the ability to make a tornado circulate.
The "wind arrow" wrapped in countless tiny natural hidden weapons blew past the two of them, hit a big tree not far away, and dissipated under the violent shaking of the tree trunk.
The mechanical elemental beast let out a long howl.
This place was not far from the safe rest area, and other teams nearby who were also heading to the rest area heard the howl.
But the people who heard the noise were still some distance away from the center of the battle, and it would take some time for them to get over.
Jiang Yunu and Xie Shi faced this metallic beast. There was no need to guess its elemental attributes. If it wasn't Feng, Xie Shi would have to take the surname Jiang Yunu from today.
"I'll control its movements!" Shesh exclaimed.
Amber-gold supernatural power burst out from his hands and split into several energy lights in mid-air. Jiang Yunu's previous fighting style gave Xie Shi inspiration. He tried hard to control his supernatural power and then split it into supernatural power lines, trying to use these energy lines to bind the wings of the wind-type mechanical elemental beast.
Jiang Yunu understood what Xie Shi wanted to do at a glance, but compared with her "silk thread" that was so fine that it could encircle the crystal core of an elemental beast, Master Xie's energy line was still a bit thicker and looked more like a supernatural chain.
"Divide it into two and tie it to the base of the wings!" Jiang Yunu commanded. At the same time, she quickly surveyed the surroundings and spotted the large tree that had remained standing after being hit by the whirlwind. "Connect the other end to the tree!"
Xie Shi hurriedly took back the extra powers he had divided up and adjusted them into two sufficiently thick power beams.
"You make it sound like we're having a barbecue outdoors!" He had some objections to the term "tying the wings."
Jiang Yunu was attracting the attention of the mechanical wind elemental beast. She was jumping on the branches in the forest. The wind generated by the elemental beast's metal wings hit the branches, causing them to shake continuously. However, she moved lightly as if she were walking on flat ground, stepping forward on the trembling branches and leaves.
"It's not impossible." Jiang Yunu said while jumping, "Let me train a little and grow a stomach of steel. Then I can tear elemental beasts apart and eat them!"
The mechanical wind elemental beast, like the previous mechanical earth elemental beast, has more combat skills than combat awareness, and is not as smart and flexible as Jiang Yunu in the game.
The intentions of the two junior students were obvious. Xie Shi's energy beams had already been probing around the wings of the mechanical elemental beast, appearing to be encircling it. However, the mechanical elemental beast's target was still firmly locked on Jiang Yunu, and it was being guided by Jiang Yunu towards the big tree.
Jiang Yunu flashed behind the big tree and saw the elemental beast's wings spreading out to both sides of the tree.
"Now!" she said.
Xie Shi cooperated unexpectedly well. As she finished her words, the golden energy beam had already wrapped around and firmly gripped the base of the mechanical wind elemental beast's wings.
"Finish."
As soon as Master Xie uttered the words, the other end of the supernatural power beam had already wrapped around the tree several times.
The mechanical elemental beast was trapped in a big tree!
"It's your turn to eat." Young Master Xie informed Jiang Yunu.
Jiang Yunu passed by him as he spoke.
She was more accustomed to the fighting mode with a spatula as her partner, but in such a practical match, facing an opponent who didn't even have basic thinking ability, it was not a big deal for Jiang Yunu to not have a handy weapon.
Xie Shi saw Jiang Yunu's figure quickly rushing towards him. He saw him rushing straight towards the mechanical elemental beast. Suddenly he noticed that there seemed to be something extra in his right hand.
What is that?
Because Jiang Yunu moved so fast, Xie Shi only felt a flash before his eyes, and he couldn't even see the specific shape of the object in the other party's hand.
He only saw Jiang Yunu leap in front of the mechanical wind elemental beast. Its jumping ability was so high it seemed as if it carried some feline gene, allowing it to leap three times its height from a single step. Jiang Yunu leaped high in front of the elemental beast. The metallic beast raised its steel beak, attempting to peck at her mid-air, but she dodged it with ease. She then raised the object she was holding and aimed it in the air.
—Then stab downwards!
The combination of her own body weight and the inertia of jumping into the air and then falling made Jiang Yunu's stab both fierce and fast. The object in her hand burst out with a bright green arc of light, like a sickle appearing in mid-air, accurately piercing the chest of the mechanical wind elemental beast.
Unlike the wind elemental beasts in the game that have thick chest feathers for protection, the mechanical elemental beasts have only a few metal feathers on their chests, and the crystal core is basically nakedly embedded in the metal surface.
It's such an easy target to capture.
The tip of the green sickle pierced through its chest, hooked the amber-gold crystal core, and then the green light swallowed up the gold.
The noisy wind died down for a second.
"The Enger School team successfully killed a mechanical elemental beast, and the Enger Junior Supernatural School received 3 points."
The announcement to the whole audience sounded again, breaking the silence.
Xie Shi stared at Jiang Yunu's arm, his attention completely captured by his movements and the object in his hand. Jiang Yunu was just about to withdraw his hand and turn around when he heard Xie Shi whisper from behind, "What are you holding? Where did you get this sickle..."
The green light that was so bright that it could cut through the wind with a single wave was dissipating in Jiang Yunu's hand, revealing the original appearance of the object in her hand.
——It’s a branch.
The branches are dotted with tender leaves, and the cross-section of the tail is full of vibrant green. It is obvious that they were just picked from the tree not long ago.
After experiencing such a fierce blow and being swung like a weapon, the leaves on its branches were still intact. They even looked more vibrant than the green leaves growing well on the trees next to them.
Xie Shi: "...knife."
Xie Shi's eyes were fixed on Jiang Yunu's hand, and he slowly uttered the last word of his sentence.
"Why are you suddenly breathing heavily while talking?" Jiang Yunu asked.
She took the casually broken branch and shook it in her hand. Although it was not as good as the spatula in the holographic game, which she had worn with it and had a great grip, the other party's performance just now was also quite good. She found the branch cute and decided to carry it with her.
Xie Shi was still staring at her blankly, standing there blankly.
After a while, Xie Shi asked in a low voice: "What kind of fighting style did you just use?"
The traditional method of dealing with mechanical elemental beasts taught in school: the first step is to avoid the elemental beast's sudden attack; the second step is to use the knowledge learned to determine the attributes of the elemental beast as quickly as possible and confirm the location of the opponent's crystal core; the third step is to work together with companions to find the right time to release superpowers, so that your superpower attack can hit the opponent's energy core and shatter the crystal core.
Xie Shi had witnessed Jiang Yunu's battles twice, but as far as his personal feelings were concerned, he felt that Jiang Yunu's fighting style was not completely inconsistent with what the teachers taught him, but it could only be said to be very "evil".
"First restrict the movement, then attack the crystal core." Jiang Yunu said, "Isn't that a very conventional way of fighting? We have good coordination between us."
"It's different." Master Xie quickly shook his head.
His complicated gaze fell again on Jiang Yunu's hand holding the branch.
Xie Shi was a little arrogant, and he was indeed an excellent student among his classmates. After a quick glance at the "Green Light Scythe", he quickly understood that the ordinary-looking branch was the result of Jiang Yunu superimposing the opponent's earth elemental ability, which allowed him to use a fierce blow on the opponent's hand.
The branches became the medium at that moment, and the earth element was naturally compatible with plants. Jiang Yunu no longer used her unknown supernatural powers to create things out of thin air, but directly empowered the branches, allowing the branches carrying her supernatural powers to transform into the weapons she needed.
"Does the 'special training' that Teacher Lu gave you also include training in this area?" Xie Shi asked, and felt that if Lu Xixi's special training included this part, he might really feel jealous and would want to ask Teacher Lu to give him more training.
However, for some unknown reason, Xie Shi had a hunch that something else was not going on.
Lu Xixi is a very capable, competent and strong teacher of practical application of supernatural powers, but she also has a very strong "Enger" attribute and temperament.
Teachers who are very "Enger people" usually teach students according to standard procedures and will not easily instruct first-year students to do any "fancy tricks".
Jiang Yunu could tell that Master Xie was a bit jealous. She defended Teacher Lu and defended Lu Xixi, saying, "Teacher Lu strictly controlled the quantitative release and stability of my supernatural power. Using the branches as an auxiliary was just a random guess. Teacher, you're not hiding anything from anyone."
Xie Shi: “…” As expected.
Although his intuition was confirmed, Master Xie felt even more complicated.
At this moment, he vaguely realized that Jiang Yunu had a fighting talent that surpassed ordinary people, something that could not be replicated through traditional teaching and training. She seemed to be naturally flexible in this regard, and her thinking was often wild and imaginative, and her special talent could support her wild imagination.
