CHAPTER 425: CHAPTER 425: TIME TO SLAP SOME FACES!

Chapter 425

Seeing another new challenge request from Hero King, Ji You’s eyes grew serious, and her face looked a bit ugly: Was this loser called Hero King targeting her specifically?

After sending such a message, wouldn’t any person with a shred of dignity feel ashamed and angrily turn away immediately?

But for some reason, Hero King seemed to have swallowed his pride.

His purpose was definitely not simple.

Since entering the competition, she had fought many battles, but the one against Hero King left the deepest impression on Ji You. Why? Because not only did he give her a ton of points, but he also created an incredibly entertaining topic.

In short, he wanted to climb over her to rise to the top, but ended up making a fool of himself, really a tragic sight indeed.

He still wants to fight her?

Why won’t he learn his lesson?

Accept?

Refuse?

Ji You didn’t hesitate at all and immediately clicked accept—

Hero King revealed a smug look, as though he held all the aces, and said, "Would Rag Queen dare to refuse? Isn’t she afraid of being directly eliminated? So, I declare, this time she definitely won’t dare."

Then—

Hero King’s eyes widened in disbelief, struggling to trust his own eyes and ears.

System: [Rag Queen VS Little Shengsheng! The peak showdown begins again; who will be the ultimate victor this time?]

Hero King suddenly clenched his fist.

King’s Expedition gritted his teeth: "Damn it!"

A feeling as if they had both been harshly slapped in the face emerged simultaneously in their hearts, filled with shame, anger, and unwillingness... A complex taste of emotions instantly swirled in their minds.

Despite their unwillingness, they both chose to spectate without needing to say a word, it was a mutual decision.

King’s Expedition said, "I want to see how she dies!"

Hero King said, "There have been too many surprises in this competition; we from First Military Academy have only secured 3 slots for the finals, too few! We cannot give up on the slot that Rag Queen might grab; so, if Little Shengsheng defeats her again, it would be like removing a thorn in our side."

King’s Expedition, with a stern face, said, "Rest assured, she is bound to lose to Little Shengsheng."

Who is the biggest dark horse of this competition?

Not Spicy Queen!

Nor the one leading by far in second place, ’Fu Feng’.

It is—

This suddenly emerged Little Shengsheng.

Who is Little Shengsheng from the East District? Which school is he attending? What is his real identity?

...

All unknown.

These are not important; what is important is—Hero King knew that Rag Queen could not win against Little Shengsheng! An enemy could become an ally, as long as Little Shengsheng defeats Rag Queen and in turn lowers her system rating, it would be beneficial for First Military Academy to secure the finals slot that might fall into Rag Queen’s hands.

Hero King said, "This battle should be very exciting, watch it carefully."

There’s a lot that can be learned from a confrontation between two masters.

Arena.

After the system announced the beginning of the match, in an instant, the entire spectator stands were filled to capacity. Many people who couldn’t squeeze into the spectator seats could only beat their chests and stomp their feet, standing in front of the screen, waiting to watch the live broadcast.

Ji You looked at the silver-white Mecha displayed by Little Shengsheng and hooked the corner of her lips, saying, "Little Shengsheng, I’m glad to meet you again, but I won’t lose this time!"

Little Shengsheng, looking at Ji You’s Mecha as well—Blade, spoke with a very serious expression, "Blade suits you well."

Ji You narrowed her eyes and said, "Yes, I think so too."

Little Shengsheng, with wide-open eyes, suddenly asked, "Can you hold on for 10 seconds?"

Ji You didn’t react for a moment and asked, "What?"

Little Shengsheng repeated, "Can you hold on for 10 seconds?"

Ji You: "..."

Ji You’s tone faltered a bit, not quite daring to believe it, she said: "Big sister, you’re not joking, are you?"

Looking down on someone like that isn’t supposed to be this extreme, right?

seconds?

Just hold on for 10 seconds?

I’m going to be a big shot in the future. If this part gets dug up and known by my future fans, they’re going to laugh at me.

Seeing Ji You’s expression and demeanor, Little Shengsheng nodded reassuringly and said: "Witnessing these 10 seconds is enough."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You’s jaw dropped as she let out a roar from her soul: "10 seconds? Are you kidding me? Forget 10 seconds, I can’t last even 1 second!"

Heh!

What an arrogant tone!

Huh?

That’s not right!

Realizing what Rag Queen had said, the audience choked in speechlessness. Not just the audience, even Litle Shengsheng looked at Ji You with a bit of speechlessness for a moment.

Ji You chuckled hehe, looked around and said, "Look at all your shocked faces. Really, I was just joking. That’s humor! Do you know humor? Life needs a sense of ceremony; we’ve got to appreciate humor."

Audience: "..."

Audience A: "Keep your sense of humor to yourself. When is the fight happening? Waiting online, it’s urgent."

Audience B: "Rag Queen, you got to hold on! At least last 1 second, otherwise you’re going to be slapping your own face."

Audience C: "Waiting for the slap in the face..."

Audience D: "Might as well pay tribute in advance..."

...

Hearing the chirping of the audience, Ji You was not the least bit annoyed; instead, she waved her hand towards the audience with a smile and said: "Alright, I got it. I’ll give you a good slap in the face."

This statement brought about a wave of snickers and laughter from the audience stands, and the atmosphere on site became particularly lively and cheerful. A group of Ji You’s fans couldn’t help but stand up and say, "Queen, we’ve agreed, we’re waiting for that slap in the face, you’ve got to put up a good fight. Don’t fail to last even 10 seconds; otherwise, it won’t look good for us fans either."

On the field.

Ji You was fully focused, as was Little Shengsheng. The moment the timer started, they both charged at each other, leading to an intense close combat skirmish.

Bang!

Clang!

Slap!

Ji You took a kick but Little Shengsheng was also swept by a leg. After a brief exchange, both knew better and separated upon contact.

Just as the two turned around, almost simultaneously, a barrage of artillery fire roared towards each other.

Boom——

Boom——

Boom——

Ji You hastily dodged, but still took a hit. She looked at the shattered foot of the cockpit with some helplessness. How could this Little Shengsheng be so fierce?

Her speed was already fast enough, but she still couldn’t escape the lock-on.

The overwhelming crisis made Ji You’s hair stand on end, inexplicably feeling a chilling sensation.

Run!

With the thrusters cranked to the max, Ji You was nearly frantic, pulling away from her original spot with a fierce yank, instantly creating a long distance from Little Shengsheng. But it wasn’t enough, still not enough.

She was still within the enemy’s sniping range.

What should she do?

Ji You’s forehead was covered in sweat, her spirit was highly concentrated, and her entire being taut like a fully stretched string, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

Suddenly—
