Chapter 161
Pei Ya followed Jiang Yunu into the venue like a silent ghost.
When the "trash lady" of the Ole family was called in, the students outside the energy blockade area were whispering to each other openly.
"Isn't this the one from Ole's...?"
"Is she also in this game?"
"Who's in her group? Jiang Yunu?"
The person who asked the last question seemed to be sneered at by his companion, who asked him back, "What else?"
Yes, what else?
Ape, the infamous "good-for-nothing" of the Aolai family, had the chance to enter today's energy blockade. Who else could it be but Jiang Yunu and her team? Could it be that Miss Nagu had suddenly gotten a heatstroke from the sun and decided to take a good-for-nothing out for a spin?
The Nagu family and the Aole family have no business dealings, and there is no question of "resource exchange" between the Aole family and the Nagu family.
Jiang Yunu's outstanding hearing allowed her to hear all these conversations. She glanced at Pei Ya calmly and found that her thick glasses covered most of Pei Ya's expression. From the lower half of her face that was exposed, she seemed to still have a calm expression, as if she had not heard any of the discussions at all.
Did her "flat state" come from being subjected to such discussions day after day? Jiang Yunu wondered.
Lynette Nagu had already stood in the "preparation area" opposite with two followers.
The energy blockade area designed by Teacher Trista is very interesting. In addition to a dividing line between the inside and outside of the venue, there is an energy limit detection device, and a preparation and waiting area is also divided in the inner field.
Students in the opposing groups must first stand in the waiting area, and then watch the automatic countdown in the center of the venue. When the ten-second countdown reaches zero, the "waiting line" in front of the waiting area will automatically disappear, which also means that the confrontation officially begins.
In previous student confrontations, there were cases where members of the two groups hurled insults at each other in the waiting area; there were also cases where it was obvious that friends had split into two groups specifically to complete classroom tasks, and were joking around in the waiting area.
Jiang Yunu and Miss Nagu were neither classmates nor friends. They had a feud. As they were about to take their place in the waiting area, Miss Nagu's attendant looked over and said, "Country bumpkin, are you deliberately making things more difficult for yourself?"
Jiang Yunu thought to himself that it was just two against three, and he was just one team member short. Could that be considered difficult?
"Teacher Trista recommends forming groups of two to three," Jiang Yunu said. "There's no requirement for a full three."
As soon as he finished speaking, not only the followers on the opposite side laughed, but students outside the field also laughed out loud.
"She said you brought 'Useless Ape' to make things more difficult for yourself!"
I don’t know which student outside the venue was so “enthusiastic” that he shouted this sentence loudly.
Jiang Yunu looked at Pei Ya's expression again.
Pei Ya wore her thick glasses quietly, as if she still heard nothing, but her hands hanging by her side quietly clenched into fists.
"Take off your glasses." Jiang Yunu said to Pei Ya.
The girl wearing glasses looked at her, her eyes and the expression on the upper half of her face were obscured by the glasses, and only her body language conveyed her doubts.
"Take it off." Jiang Yunu instructed calmly, "This way you can better see how I win."
...Alas, if they don't win, then they'll look like cannon fodder who made nice promises but got slapped in the face. The "trash lady" from the Ole family thought quietly, but she still took action and obediently took off her glasses.
Jiang Yunu did not respond to the provocation of Lynette Nagu's followers.
The countdown for the preparation waiting period is only ten seconds, so there is no need to use these ten seconds to bring more verbal attacks to your teammates.
The moment the "waiting line" disappeared, Jiang Yunu seemed to have disappeared from the waiting area as well.
"Hey! Where are the people?"
"I'm so @#...she's so fast!"
Exclamations rang out from outside the arena one after another, but they became white noise in Lynette Nagu's ears.
The sound of the wind seemed to be infinitely stretched, and everyone's movements and words seemed unusually slow at this moment, with every natural or unnatural syllable dragged out.
In a world that had suddenly sped up to 0.2x, Jiang Yunu was the only one who remained swift. She covered the entire distance in the blink of an eye, appearing before the trio of Lynette Nagu like a ghost.
Immediately following this was a sudden flash of green light.
Miss Nagu's two followers were one of the fire type and the other one of the earth type like Jiang Yunu. Even after being shocked, they still had a strong sense of being subordinates. In the horror of Jiang Yunu's sudden attack, they tried their best to defend themselves, and the interwoven red and green supernatural lights tried to condense a supernatural shield.
But it's too slow.
In the face of the powerful earth energy controlled by Jiang Yunu, the red and green interwoven shield was like a plastic product pierced by a spear. Before it was fully formed, it was ruthlessly smashed to pieces by Jiang Yunu's supernatural power.
When the semi-finished shield was smashed into pieces, one of the followers screamed. Perhaps this was the first time in his life that he had encountered such an "attack" with a clear intention of attack.
The way Jiang Yunu attacked his target didn't look like he was doing a classroom exercise at all.
"Anything else?" she said.
No one understood what she was asking at first.
"What?" Lynette Nagu asked, her heart pounding, holding her breath.
Jiang Yunu's ghostly speed was terrifying enough, and the power she possessed also had a completely different feel from the other students. To put it bluntly, it was like a group of students holding wooden swords and wooden knives, and then someone with a real weapon appeared.
And it seemed that it was entirely due to the rules that the "real thing" was just doing harmless exercises like everyone else's wooden swords.
"She... isn't she waiting for Miss Nagu to take new action?" A student outside the field suddenly asked uncertainly.
A bystander sees more clearly.
While the opponents on the field were extremely nervous, the audience outside the field noticed it first - although the white-haired girl still had earth-type supernatural powers in her hands, the edge of the supernatural power light had stopped extending.
This bystander's inference is bold and bizarre, and it also shows that the person involved is proud of his abilities to the point of conceit.
However, Jiang Yunu was just waiting.
The two followers were frightened by the fact that the shield was easily broken, and Miss Nagu was a little slow to react and did not direct the followers' next move.
Jiang Yunu patiently asked again: "Why are you stopping here? Are there any other actions?"
Lynette Nagu finally realized her big mistake in the battle - she actually gave the action window to the opponent for a long time, and stood there like a fool during the battle, not moving or talking to the opponent!
What answered Jiang Yunu was not Miss Nagu's words, but a clear blue light.
Lynette Nagu is also a water element, and the water element ability she suddenly gathered carries a wave-like driving force.
Jiang Yunu did not underestimate this young lady, and jumped back when the "waves" on the land hit him.
Lynette Nagu was outputting her supernatural powers within the upper limit set by Teacher Trista. She twisted her supernatural powers into a wave as much as possible, not only to force Jiang Yunu back from her front, but also to chase her. The blue wave gradually became more like a palm, waving in the air and slamming heavily on the ground.
The ground in the energy blockade area trembled slightly due to the force of the impact.
Jiang Yunu thought to himself: The eldest lady seems to really want me to receive a slap from a supernatural power.
But of course, the other party won't get what they want.
Jiang Yunu's leap back was just to find out the level of the young lady's supernatural skills. To be fair, she had already seen the performance of all the other groups before her today. Linette Nagu's blue waves were indeed outstanding among the freshmen of the same year. The opponent's supernatural power output intensity and duration were already worthy of the title of an outstanding graduate of a junior prestigious school.
It’s a pity that Jiang Yunu is just like what teacher Trista commented - “someone who is ahead of his peers.”
When Jiang Yunu was about to return to his own waiting area, he suddenly stopped. Linette Nagu's giant blue palm immediately seized the opportunity and smashed down heavily from mid-air towards the white-haired girl on the ground, trying to smack her whole body into the palm.
However, countless thin green vines seemed to sprout from the ground and emerge from mid-air. Jiang Yunu's supernatural green light did not appear in a single mass, but instead split into many strands. Each strand was thin and inconspicuous at first glance, yet extremely flexible, wrapping around the "blue giant palm."
Can water be captured? Perhaps soil can.
Elemental powers do not necessarily restrain or complement each other, but Jiang Yunu's earth-based power seems to follow an ancient mantra, using earth to lock water. Linette Nagu's blue power is completely entangled in her green power "vine circle".
Beads of sweat slid down the eldest daughter's forehead and flowed into her golden hair, which she kept meticulously groomed even when doing class exercises.
Her lower lip was bitten hard, and she tried her best to control the output value of her superpower, let the "blue giant palm" adjust the angle, and break free from the cage. Her water-based superpower crashed into Jiang Yunu's earth-based cage, but no, no, she couldn't escape!
The white-haired girl's supernatural power output value did not seem to be very large. Those flexible "green vines" were like the thin supernatural power threads that were tightly wrapped around her neck that day, trapping her and her supernatural power. The posture that made her unable to escape made her feel suffocated like an illusion again.
And the green power wrapped around the "blue giant palm" is indeed tightening.
Jiang Yunu's ability changed from flexible to sharp, like a wire knife, cutting into the condensed form of Linette Nagu's ability!
Lynette Nagu's attack was completely shattered by her.
Miss Nagu felt the pressure suddenly lift off her, like she was in a tug-of-war game and the rope was suddenly yanked away from her. Her body swayed as the pressure was released, and then a thought slowly entered her mind: […Did I lose?]
It seemed like she had indeed lost.
But is she willing?
Jiang Yunu stopped after breaking up Linette Nagu's attack, her eyes fixed on the young lady without blinking.
Behind Jiang Yunu, Pei Ya was a little confused.
Because according to the experience of watching the previous rounds of group competitions, generally when a situation like this occurs where a full-strength attack is broken up by the opponent, the winner can be considered decided.
Moreover, according to the general rules of using superpowers, someone like Linette Nagu, who has just output superpowers for a long time and is desperately trying to condense a huge "blue giant palm" and chase the target, even if Teacher Trista has set an energy limit for today's venue, the energy loss will still be considerable if it is consumed continuously.
Even if Lynette Nagu didn't want to give up, she probably wouldn't be able to use skills of the same power again.
So what is this young lady hesitating about?
At this moment, Miss Nagu made a move.
The one who moved was not Lynette Nagu herself, but her follower who had not moved in the first half of the game.
A red arrow of supernatural power flew towards this side.
——The target is Pei Ya.
