The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Ji Scaredy-Cat

Chapter 250

The thing I fear most is when the air suddenly falls silent.

Ji ”Coward” You, neck shrunk, wanted to pretend not to hear.

The one who boasted about beating Yang Bin’s head to a pulp wasn’t me alone, so why should I step up?

Although, I was the first to make that boast.

But—

The law does not punish the masses.

I can be shameless and keep hiding, not stepping forward. Would Yang Bin really pull me out and beat me up?

Yang Bin didn’t seem like that kind of person.

However—

Yang Bin suddenly said, ”Shortie, I’m giving you the chance to burst my head. Come at me.”

The air was eerily quiet, not a single student made a sound.

Ji You, with her neck still shrunk and head lowered, epitomized being as silent as a chicken, truly life-like.

Yang Bin: ”Shortie, if you remain silent, I’ll take it as you being the biggest coward here.”

Ji You: ”...”

Damn!

This is too much!

The stark eyes all around were all glancing at Ji You. By now, even if she wanted to act as if she hadn’t heard or didn’t react in time, it was impossible. Enduring the tingling of her scalp, she suddenly stood up and said loudly, ”Senior Yang Bin, the reason I didn’t stand up and didn’t make a sound is not because I’m a coward, nor because I’m weak!”

Yang Bin asked with curiosity, ”Oh—what is it then?”

Ji You looked around and said emphatically, ”Because, I don’t admit that I’m a shortie!”

Pfft—

Instantly, a wave of laughter spread among the people around, but out of consideration for Ji You’s face, everyone cleared their throat and suppressed the laughter, even Yang Bin was momentarily amused by Ji You’s remark, ”Oh... Shortie, what’s your name?”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You, face darkened, exclaimed loudly, ”A person neither changes their name nor ditches their surname, and your granddad Ji You is just that!”

Yang Bin lifted an eyebrow, smiling, ”I don’t recall having such a short granddad.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You turned her head and looked at Mu Jianling, who was leisurely enjoying the show, and yelled, ”Teacher, are you really going to let your dear adorable student be bullied like this? This is a blatant personal attack on me!”

Mu Jianling, who had been arms-crossed and watching the excitement, gave Ji You a sidelong glance and said, ”He’s suspected of attacking you personally, and you’re suspected of trying to take verbal advantage of him. You’re even. And—”

Ji You was about to explode with anger at Mu Jianling’s infuriating comment, when he paused and then solemnly declared, ”You are not my dear beloved student. I don’t have such an embarrassing darling.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ahhhh!!!

I’m about to burst with rage.

Pfft—

The laughter around grew louder.

Despite Ji You’s thick skin, she couldn’t withstand such humiliation and glared wide-eyed.

Seeing Ji You get so angry, Yang Bin found it interesting and laughed, ”Ji You, sir, do you want to challenge me now?”

Everyone turned towards Ji You, their gazes sharp like blades, pressuring Ji You to move forward. If she had any shame left, she should agree outright.

But!!!

Ji You suddenly straightened her face, with a righteous demeanor proclaimed, ”Sorry! I refuse! Although we freshmen face a severe situation, we are not desperate, so I don’t think it’s time for me to step in.”

Yang Bin: ”???”

The crowd: ”???”

So cowardly.

There is actually someone in this world naturally so cowardly, blessed with such unusual talent.

So, cowardice can be explained this way too?

For a moment, not only were the old soldiers stunned, but even Ji You’s classmates, watching her righteously deliver such a speech, couldn’t help but raise their hands to their foreheads, unable to watch directly.

Yang Bin raised an eyebrow, smiled, and said, ”Oh—so you mean you’re a final boss-like figure who should appear at the end?”

Ji You’s lips twitched slightly, screaming inside:

Nope.

My point is, I shouldn’t have been up there to begin with.

I never meant to go last at all.

Ah ah ah!!!

Don’t get me wrong.

And don’t push me into it!

But!!!

Under the coercive force of senior Yang Bin, Ji You couldn’t help but feel a tingling scalp and shouted loudly, ”Yes!”

”Exactly!”

”That’s what I meant!”

While speaking, the expressions on Ji You’s face changed unpredictably, quite the spectacle indeed. For a moment, everyone was watching her face and couldn’t help but laugh. This kid was so lively that you just want to call her adorable.

Then—

Yang Bin turned his head, looking over the other students and said, ”Next, does anyone else want to challenge me?”

It got a little quiet around.

A few seconds later, Shen Changqing suddenly stood up and said, ”Senior Yang Bin, please accept my challenge.”

At the sight of Shen Changqing’s face, Yang Bin was slightly startled: ”Hmm?”

With an unchanged expression and a steady stride, Shen Changqing stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, ”Shen Changqing. I look forward to your guidance, senior.”

Hmm?

Is he from the Shen Family, the grandson of General Shen?

Upon hearing this, Yang Bin’s eyes flashed with interest and he exclaimed loudly, ”Good!”

Between warriors, they didn’t waste much breath on small talk. Once they announced their families, they were ready to start fighting.

Shen Changqing’s strategy was neither like Chu Jiaojiao’s or Yue Qiguang’s brute force collision approach, nor like Yue Qiyuan’s rash initiation of Spiritual Interference. He gradually closed in on senior Yang Bin, maintaining a certain distance. He threw a few exploratory punches at senior Yang Bin, but each time he would instantly retreat before any contact was made, denying Yang Bin any chance to get close.

Yang Bin raised his eyebrows, still standing motionless.

Shen Changqing kept a straight face and suddenly moved closer.

Yang Bin still stood there.

In the instant Shen Changqing got closer, it was still touch-and-go.

After several rounds, the excitement of the onlooking crowd dampened somewhat by the dragging way the fight was being handled...

Just then, Shen Changqing moved in again.

Yang Bin lifted his eyebrows, feeling this time it must be a substantial attack. Suddenly, he felt a tingling on his scalp as if something had pricked him. Instantly, Yang Bin dropped his teasing demeanor, thinking to himself: not bad, he’s got skills.

As expected—

Is he really the grandson of General Shen Chi?

At the same time, Shen Changqing with a stern face, charged toward senior Yang Bin once more. This time, he employed Spiritual Interference combined with his boxing technique, his momentum fierce, as if willing to go down with the ship and fight to the end.

Yang Bin’s expression remained relaxed, confidently handling Shen Changqing’s incoming attack.

At that moment

Shen Changqing suddenly changed his tactic, switching from punches to kicks, while simultaneously intensifying his spiritual power attack.

Boom—

A loud bang was heard, and Yang Bin’s legs were fiercely kicked with force.

However—

Yang Bin’s face was still without any change, while Shen Changqing, just like Chu Jiaojiao, had his face contorted in an instant.

Everyone lowered their eyes, following Yang Bin’s legs, and saw that his legs were perfectly fine, but one of Shen Changqing’s legs had suddenly bent into a Z shape.

Hiss—

It had to hurt like hell.

This was unbearable for anyone.

Ji You’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot:

Damn it.

Is an official soldier really this terrifying?
