The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers
Chapter 236: Ji You, the Green-Eyed Monster
CHAPTER 236: CHAPTER 236: JI YOU, THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER
Rejected Zone, unlike the top students’ zone, stirred by her own conjectures and smoke of battles, Ji You had no mood to care about it.
Actually—
Indeed, just as others had guessed, Ji You was having a lot of difficulty maintaining her stance without falling. At the same time, she was inwardly cursing and raging incessantly, realizing she had indeed kicked an iron plate. Yu Yi’s current level of operation was not the slightest bit weaker compared to Lou, Lance and others.
This led Ji You into an awkward situation, where she found it hard to retreat.
At the moment, if she let go now, it would mean giving up the close combat with Yu Yi. All her previous efforts, the damage taken from that hit, and the wounds her mecha sustained would all be in vain.
Then what?
Then, she must engage in a long-range battle with Yu Yi.
But!!!
With Yu Yi’s swift speed, and such stable operations, he was tough to deal with both up close and from afar—a really tough nut to crack. Ji You couldn’t compete with him in either speed or endurance.
Therefore—
Ji You couldn’t let go.
Not only could she not let go, but she also had to create an opportunity to escape this predicament.
But would Yu Yi give her a chance?
Obviously, he wouldn’t.
Yu Yi, understanding the current situation profoundly, drew out a Cold Ice Machine at the instant his hand was free and harshly chopped down toward the joint of the knuckles on Ji You’s Small Mecha.
One slash.
Two slashes.
Three slashes.
Like slicing through iron like mud, each slash struck at vital points. If Ji You slightly couldn’t withstand the force of the attack, she would be knocked down.
But—
Yu Yi’s move also gave Ji You a slim chance.
Ji You narrowed her eyes:
She had actually been waiting, waiting for Yu Yi to start attacking her. As long as he attacked her, he inevitably couldn’t focus entirely on speed, and this provided Ji You a chance to counterattack.
Ji You allowed slash after slash to hit the knuckles of the Small Mecha. Even though the blade sliced through iron like mud, with strong attacks, Ji You only needed to hold steady for a few seconds.
second.
seconds.
seconds.
Ji You suddenly stretched out her Spiritual Silk, directly aiming at the cockpit of Wind Wing.
Boom—
Yu Yi, focusing on speed and attack, suddenly felt something sting his head slightly. It was a bit painful, but not too severe. He felt he could endure it.
Then—
His finger on the control button twitched slightly.
His entire body, uncontrollably, fell from the seat.
What...
What happened?
Yu Yi felt that something like a wind had suddenly swept over and directly knocked him off the Spiritual Connector. As he was rubbing his tired and slightly throbbing brain, trying to struggle and get up, the Wind Wing, which had been maintaining high-speed rotation, suddenly fell from mid-air.
Crash—
A loud noise echoed in everyone’s ears.
The crowd: "???"
What’s going on?
Was it too fast and a mishap occurred, leading to a fall?
Or?
At this moment, the Small Mecha tightly embracing Wind Wing, suddenly opened its frigid cannon mouth, aiming directly at the cockpit of Wind Wing.
Crowd: "!!!"
"Yu Yi, run fast!"
"Yu Yi, dodge quickly!"
"Yu Yi, move fast!"
"Yu Yi, 4444 is going to blow your head off, run quick!"
The crowd’s hoarse cheering clearly reached Yu Yi, who felt quite baffled to be honest. How did he end up in such a situation? He was in a great position, everything was under his control, right?
Just as Mecha #4444’s fingers were about to be chopped off, but—
In the blink of an eye, how did he suddenly find himself at a disadvantage?
Yu Yi struggled to get up, trying to reconnect with the Spiritual Connector, however—suddenly the system notified him that due to his damaged spiritual power, compatibility has dropped, and it’s currently not advisable to forcefully connect with the mecha.
Yu Yi: "???"
Confused Yu Yi suddenly felt struck from behind.
Boom—
Sparks flew everywhere.
The whole arena fell silent.
For a long while, no one spoke up.
Wind Wing lay on the side, having fallen minutes ago and still unable to stand up, while on the other side, as if afraid that her opponent wasn’t utterly defeated, Ji You fired a few more shots, making sure her opponent was severely damaged, before she jumped out of her own limping, finger-less mecha.
The lively and jumping Ji You did not seem injured at all and she immediately reported to Mu Jianling, "Teacher, the opponent is ’killed’, please confirm my selection for the special training squad."
Mu Jianling: "..."
Ji You said, "Teacher... we can’t go back on our word, right? All these classmates are watching."
Mu Jianling glanced at her and said, "Number 4444, Ji You, selected."
Ji You immediately beamed with joy, cheerfully saying, "Thank you, teacher! I will train hard."
points.
She came.
academic points.
She came.
She was late, but she definitely returned.
"Ahahaha..."
The venue was filled with Ji You’s devilish laughter.
The surrounding students: "...What happened? Did we miss a lesson? We didn’t see it clearly?"
After confirming her enrollment slot, Ji You then hopped over to Wind Wing and helped the dizzy Yu Yi up, comforting him while holding him, "Classmate Yu Yi, I admit you’re very good, but sorry, you met someone even better—me, so you lost today. Don’t worry about your failure today, because I’ve summarized the main reason for your defeat: bad luck being picked by me, hahaha..."
Yu Yi: "..."
Babbling.
Can someone please make her shut up?
Ji You laughed and said, "But do you know why you were picked by me? Because your square and straightforward appearance really looks very honest and easy to bully. Hahaha..."
Yu Yi: "..."
Mu Jianling couldn’t bear it anymore and scolded, "Shut up! Another word, and you’ll be disqualified from the special training on grounds of intentionally polluting your opponent’s ears and spirit."
Ji You: "..."
Surrounding people: "Teacher Mu is powerful and domineering."
Meanwhile, Yu Yi rubbed his head, feeling down: He actually failed after silently working so hard for so long, still easily defeated...
Suddenly—
Yu Yi felt his head softly touched by someone; startled, he looked up just to catch Mu Jianling’s hand retreating.
Mu Jianling’s expression was calm as he tossed a Candy Bean to Yu Yi, saying, "Eat this. It will repair your spiritual power."
A dazed Yu Yi, "Thank you, teacher."
Mu Jianling said, "50000 credit points, no credit."
Yu Yi, clueless about what it was but knowing it must be beneficial in repairing spiritual power, didn’t inspect it further and immediately transferred the amount to Teacher Mu Jianling.
Witnessing the whole scene, an astounded Ji You hurriedly said, "Teacher, I also feel that my spiritual power is a bit overly depleted and slightly damaged."
Mu Jianling glanced at her and said, "The instigator, shut up!"
Ji You: "..."
Before the envious, jealous, and resentful gaze of Ji You, Yu Yi opened his mouth and swallowed a Candy Bean.
Ji You: "..."
She felt so lemony!!!
Severely envious!!!
