The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Sharp-Tongued Ji You

Since we are simulating actual combat, there’s no point in hiding our tricks. Xuzhou and Zhang Ye exchanged a glance, each coming up with a plan.

Whoosh—

A shell, stealthily flying towards Ji You, didn’t make a sound until it was close. Ji You’s reaction was indeed nimble; in fact, she was already prepared. She pretended to be unguarded, but as the shell approached, she leaped swiftly, disappearing from her spot in the blink of an eye, leaving the shell to hit nothing.

At that moment, Xuzhou’s attack also arrived; he wielded a giant axe.

Boom—

The axe struck down viciously on the Small Mecha.

Had it landed, it would have certainly dealt a heavy blow.

Suddenly—

The Small Mecha piloted by Ji You dodged the attack with an extremely twisted posture, awkwardly avoiding the axe’s strike, and in an instant, leaped up. In the blink of an eye, she jumped over Xuzhou’s mecha, delivering a barrage of fierce kicks.

Xuzhou: ”...”

Ji You chuckled and said, ”Xuzhou, your strength is too scattered. Your axe can’t hurt me; instead, it exhausts a large amount of your physical fitness, leaving you powerless for your next move. You’ll be even less able to stop me.”

”Pay attention to controlling your physical fitness and spiritual power properly. They call you a fool, and you might as well be elated to pin a shiny badge on your head that says ’the universe’s biggest fool,’ right? Well then—fool, rise for your dignity!” Having said this, Ji You patted the top of Xuzhou’s mecha again and then stylishly moved away.

Xuzhou felt a bit stifled.

Not because his head was patted, nor because he was teased by Ji You, but because he realized Ji You was right. After his axe strike, he had to wait 3 seconds before he could make the next move... This indicated that his control over physical fitness and spiritual power was poor.

And—

She was actually able to handle attacks from two people while still having the capacity to chat with them?

At this time, Zhang Ye’s artillery was aimed at Ji You once again.

Ji You swayed left and right, contorting the Small Mecha into an S-shape, and in a few blinks and twists, she dodged Zhang Ye’s sniping. She quipped, ”Zhang Ye, every shot of your artillery is too energy-consuming. Save some energy, you spendthrift! And there’s a big problem with your aiming. You’re a sniper! A sniper needs to aim precisely and fire accurately, not blindly! If you go on like this, what’s the point of piloting a mecha? You might as well play the old-fashioned whack-a-mole game!”

Zhang Ye: ”...”

I’m not listening.

Not listening.

It’s all nonsense.

And—

How I wish to blast her mouth with one shot! Zhang Ye even felt that listening to Ji You’s chattering was more torturous than the melodramatic TV dramas Teacher Mu Jianling used to play.

But Xuzhou and Zhang Ye had to admit that through sparring with Ji You, even though they suffered a lot, took defensive precautions, and still got their heads tapped and butts kicked... They were beaten up quite embarrassingly throughout... But their mechanical driving skills indeed improved rapidly.

Even, in less than 10 minutes, they both felt a significant improvement in the gravity field that was once a major challenge to them—at least they wouldn’t easily be scattered by the wind—

This was getting interesting.

Zhang Ye and Xuzhou exchanged glances, seeing the surprised expressions in each other’s eyes. They both got serious, Zhang Yedao: ”Let’s not be rash. You feint, I aim—let’s make a false move to confuse her—”

Ji You kicked at the backside of Zhang Ye’s mecha: ”I heard that, you know.”

Zhang Ye: ”...”

Xuzhou: ”...”

What’s the deal with this girl?

Her speed is simply defying heaven, reaching an unguardable level.

How on earth did she achieve this?

Her spiritual power threshold is only D! Only D! With such a low spiritual power threshold, how is she allocating it? There is no sign that she’s exhausted at all.

Ji You seemed to sense their thoughts, and said with a confidently lifted eyebrow, ”It’s precisely because my spiritual power threshold is so little that I have to be frugal and calculate my usage. When it comes to the meticulous control of spiritual power, I dare to claim second place here, and no one dares to claim first! Kids, you just haven’t seen enough. Once you do, you won’t be so surprised.”

Without finishing her sentence, Ji You flicked both Yue Qiguang and Zhang Ye on their foreheads, and then she quickly backed off.

Zhang Ye, Xuzhou: ”...”

If before, being flicked on the forehead or kicked in the butt by Ji You would have made them feel insulted, hasn’t experience numbed them to the point where they aren’t even bothered anymore?

minutes later.

Yue Qiguang started his fourth trial with great ambition.

This time, Yue Qiguang decided not only to make a spectacular comeback but also to perform various complex maneuvers—

And then, Yue Qiguang made a dashing start. As soon as the Heavy Armor Breaking Army appeared, it exuded the momentum of thousands of troops, causing everyone to stop what they were doing and watch intensely.

Classmate A: ”How many seconds before he hits the ground this time?”

Classmate B: ”2 seconds, no more.”

Classmate C: ”2 seconds is impossible, given his well-developed physique and primal physical fitness, he can last for 7 seconds? 8 seconds?”

Yue Qiguang turned grim.

Beside them, Ji You, who was practicing with Xuzhou and Zhang Ye, stopped and said, ”Yue Qiguang will fail shortly, then it will be your two’s turn. Trust me, you can do it.”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

Yue Qiguang was so frustrated he almost cursed.

But after thinking about it, he felt the best way to prove himself was to conquer them with his strength! To make them shut up on their own!

So—

Yue Qiguang started with his head held high, full of vigor.

At this point, among the students, only Ji You, Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, and Yue Qiyuan had successfully completed the objective. Lou and Lance had tried as well but failed, which showed that this seemingly simple action was not so easy to achieve.

Then—

With great anticipation, Yue Qiguang majestically face-planted in an ugly splat.

All students: ”...”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

Yue Qiguang’s eyes widened, struck as if by lightning, his face a picture of disbelief:

How could this happen?

How could this happen?

How could this happen?

He was almost certain—

Yet—

Ji You turned to Xuzhou and Zhang Ye, starting the lesson on the spot, ”Do you know why this idiot Yue Qiguang keeps failing?”

Xuzhou and Zhang Ye were clueless.

Ji You said with a smile, ”He’s the typical case of ’brawns over brains’. An S-level physique made him always act first, think later, never considering to think first and move later. He never thought of coordinating his brain and limbs to act together—look, piloting a mecha as large as Breaking Army requires significant physical fitness. He’s confident in his own physical fitness and exerted his full explosive power at the start, hoping to rush to the finish line in one go. But—when encountering obstacles halfway, relying on physical fitness alone isn’t enough. His brain is actually a step slower, hence the repeated stumbling.”

At this point, Ji You emphatically said, ”If he doesn’t change his way of thinking in battle, if he continues to rely on brute force, on instinct, always depending on his S-level physique, next time, the time after next, the time after after next... he will still end up biting the dust.”
