18: Superpower Combat Guide
“Son, it’s time to get up. If you don’t get up and eat breakfast, you’ll be late for school.”
In the early morning, Shen Yi was woken up by Feng Shuyue.
His head felt heavy. It seemed that after exhausting his mental strength yesterday, he developed a habit of wanting to sleep as soon as he touched the bed. He had planned to meditate, but instead, he slept soundly through the night.
When he arrived at the school, there was no one in the classroom.
“The early bird catches the worm,” Shen Yi hummed as he sat down in his seat and dozed off.
“Shen Yi, why are you still in the classroom? You’re the only one left, everyone else has already gone.” Zhou Chunhua entered the classroom and saw Shen Yi sleeping with his head on the desk.
“Huh? Gone? What’s gone?” Perhaps his mental strength was too depleted last night; he just felt like he couldn't wake up.
Zhou Chunhua’s face darkened as he said coldly, “Today, Li Instructor will teach you some combat techniques for entering the Secret Realm and the application of Ability. Hurry up and go.”
As soon as Shen Yi heard “combat techniques,” he immediately became energetic. Last night, he had been thinking that he could finally watch a battle between Ability Users to slowly adjust his worldview, but he didn't see anything. Now, today, there was an opportunity.
He shot out of the classroom, and Zhou Chunhua, who was about to leave, saw Shen Yi run back in.
“Teacher, where are they all?”
“Combat Guidance Room!!” Zhou Chunhua said, almost shouting.
When Shen Yi entered, most of the students in the school had already arrived, even those whose mental strength had not met the standard.
The Combat Guidance Room was extremely spacious, more than enough to accommodate several thousand people. Occasionally, some students would come here to spar, even without Ability Techniques, they would practice the application of Ability.
Li Mengxue stood at the very front, her soft voice seemingly possessing a magical quality. It wasn't loud, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.
“Students, battles between Ability Users might seem very distant to us. Besides seeing them on TV, we don't usually use them. The country stipulates that Ability is not allowed to be used on humans.”
“However, once we enter the Secret Realm, we will need combat techniques. There are endless fierce beasts andAlien inside.”
“I believe when you were in school, you also learned about various fierce beasts andAlien, their combat styles, and characteristics. This is essential knowledge for entering the Secret Realm. In the last few days before the trial, there will be an exam, and only those who pass will be able to participate.”
After Shen Yi walked in, he heard about the exam in the last few days, and at this point, he felt a headache coming on. He couldn't even distinguish between fierce beasts and Alien now, let alone their combat styles and characteristics.
“There are many ways to fight using Ability, and the most powerful is the Ability Technique. When you get into university, specialized instructors will teach you these. What I am teaching now is the most basic application and combat of Ability.”
“For example, with a control-type Ability, what we usually do most is control books or move objects from a distance, these are the most common uses. But as long as the control-type is used well, it can unleash very powerful force…”
What Li Mengxue taught was not something taught in high school. In high school, the school only taught some common uses and control techniques of Ability, and the most basic meditation methods.
The most important thing was cultural lessons. Although Ability was the primary productive force, knowledge was the foundation of everything.
“Now, are there any students who would like to come up and demonstrate?” Li Mengxue asked.
“The student at the very back, please come up and demonstrate with your classmates. I will find another student, and the two of you can spar while I guide you.”
Shen Yi was the last to arrive, so he could only stand at the back. Some of the things Li Mengxue had just demonstrated at the front, he could only stand up to watch, and coincidentally, Li Mengxue saw him.
“Isn’t that our school’s tough guy? I heard that during the last test, he directly told the instructor to turn the current to maximum, and as a result, he vomited blood and was carried out.” The students in the demonstration room all looked back, and someone recognized Shen Yi, mocking him.
“Haha, I heard about that too. Overestimating himself, really thought he had S-Class Talent, and even turned it to maximum. He’s probably going to be electrocuted into an idiot.” Another boy said, laughing out loud, his voice full of disdain.
“Third row, the second female student, come, the two of you spar.” Li Mengxue looked at a girl and said.
“Wow, it’s Su Lanqing, one of our school’s two S-Class Talents, my goddess.” Seeing the girl pointed out by the instructor, the boys below became agitated.
Su Lanqing was a campus beauty at Three Middle School, a goddess in the eyes of most boys at the school. Not only was her talent extremely high, but her cultivation had also reached the level of First Order 9-star, and she could become a Second Order Ability User at any time.
“If I had known it was to spar with Goddess Su, I should have stood up earlier. Damn it, Shen Yi got a huge advantage.” A boy said.
“Exactly, but with the cultivation of the ‘vomiting blood guy,’ he won't even see Goddess Su’s shadow. Going up there is just a massacre.”
Shen Yi heard what the people below were saying, rubbed his nose, and walked straight to the demonstration platform at the front.
Su Lanqing also stood on the demonstration platform. Shen Yi admitted that this girl was a beauty, but from his perspective, she was like an unopened flower bud, lacking everything. He really didn't know what all these boys below were so excited about.
“Two students, please stand in the middle and try to control your Ability according to what I just said.” Li Mengxue guided from the side.
“Lanqing has Ice Ability. The most basic application of Ice Ability is to lower the surrounding temperature and control the opponent’s movements.”
As one of Three Middle School’s dual S-Class Talent students, Su Lanqing was a key focus for Li Mengxue, who knew her name but not Shen Yi’s.
“This student, what is your Ability?” Li Mengxue asked.
“Fire Ability.”
“Very good, ice and fire are naturally opposing, so it’s perfect for a simple demonstration.” In truth, Li Mengxue also had a bit of a selfish motive. She wanted Su Lanqing to demonstrate her true strength through this sparring session, to establish authority, making it easier to command others in the Secret Realm in the future.
The temperature around Su Lanqing instantly dropped. Shen Yi, standing to the side, could feel the chilling aura.
This chilling aura surged towards Shen Yi, and the bone-piercing cold enveloped him entirely, like falling into an ice cave, making his entire reaction sluggish.
