The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Admiral Bai Ji

When the horn sounded, all personnel stationed at the space station instantly formed ranks according to their respective organizations, neatly arrayed...

The students: ”???”

While appearing bewildered, a bad premonition flashed through the students’ minds:

Could it be that there’s trouble at the front lines? Is a major battle about to break out?

Or, has the space station been attacked, and everyone is preparing to meet the enemy?

But—

No.

The expressions on the faces of the space station’s personnel, whether soldiers or logistics staff, didn’t seem like they were facing a formidable enemy. Instead, there was an indescribable excitement on their faces.

Huh?

What’s going on?

Shen Changqing, who comes from a military family, was the first to say, ”The sound of this horn is off. It’s not the signal for war-starting; rather, it sounds more like...”

Ji You asked, ”Like what?”

After pondering for a moment, Shen Changqing said, ”It should be to welcome some important person. This is a formation for a welcome!”

As soon as Shen Changqing’s words came out, everyone widened their eyes, with someone asking, ”Who could it be? Could it be a general who has come? Who might it be?” The legion stationed in the Sixth Star System is the Sixth Legion under the command of Admiral Bai Ji. The well-known generals under him include Chen Yan, Bai Dai, Li Yong, Xu Fenghua... Could it be one of them?

The students instantly became expectant...

Shen Changqing said, ”I will ask Teacher Mu to see if we need to coordinate, or should we continue training as usual?”

There was still half an hour until 12 o’clock. The fastest runners, such as Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiguang, had already run nine and a half laps, needing only half a lap more to complete their task. Slow runners, like Ji You, had only run eight and a half laps, still needing a lap and a half.

This was troublesome.

Shen Changqing explained the situation, and Mu Jianling replied, ”Carry on. You all carry on with your training.”

Shen Changqing conveyed Teacher Mu Jianling’s response to everyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s spirits deflated.

Oh!

They thought they could all go to welcome the Great General and witness the elegance of the generals. Unexpectedly, they still had to continue training.

Of course, their enthusiasm for training remained undiminished, and they continued to run hard.

Only half an hour remained, and Ji You had been keeping a steady pace for the previous eight and a half laps, never speeding up. By this time, Chu Jiaojiao had taken the lead and completed her training, with Yue Qiguang closely following.

Following them, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan, Lou, Lance, and others also finished one by one.

Medium runners like Xuzhou and Jiang Fang had also run nine and a half laps, with only half a lap left.

Ji You, unaffected, still maintained her rhythm and slowly finished another half lap. With only one lap to go, she suddenly sped up—

meters.

meters.

meters.

...

With a burst of effort, Ji You even caught up with Xuzhou. Xuzhou, taken aback and a bit astonished, suddenly saw a slender figure flash by like the wind, wondering if he was seeing things.

A flicker of doubt crossed Xuzhou’s mind: ”Is this really Ji You? Could it be she’s possessed?”

Beside him, those who originally wanted to mock Ji You, like Yue Qiguang, were also clicking their tongues in admiration. Yue Qiguang exclaimed in surprise, ”Is she cheating or what? She was lagging all along; I thought she wouldn’t be able to finish.”

Shen Changqing quietly said, ”Classmate Ji You has always known how to use her strengths and avoid her weaknesses. From the time she started running, I never doubted her ability to complete the task, and indeed it is so.”

Chu Jiaojiao covered her face: ”I always had faith in Classmate Ji You too! She is the most beautiful and the best.”

At this time, Ji You had only 500 meters left.

meters.

meters.

meters.

...

Boom—

The Finish Line.

Ji You stopped and glanced behind her, only to see that Xuzhou, Jiang Fang and a few others had not yet crossed the finish line. She smiled in satisfaction; every regular training session was a form of self-breakthrough.

Soon, Xuzhou also crossed the finish line. He looked up at Ji You, his lips moved slightly, but he said nothing.

Ji You laughed heartily, ”Little Zhouzhou, you must be thinking I’m really amazing, right? That’s correct, I am that strong!”

Xuzhou: ”...”

This guy never knew the meaning of low-profile.

What an—

Asking for a beating.

When the clock struck 12, all 100 students had completed their training goals on time. It was at this moment that Mu Jianling suddenly sent a collective message: [All troops, assemble at the square.]

Huh?

Was he inviting the students to join the excitement?

Everyone was thrilled.

One by one, they all lined up neatly in their squads and headed toward the square. Upon arrival, the square was extremely disciplined and ordered, with everyone’s posture straight and faces carrying a sense of solemnity. The students entered the square and took their arranged places.

All around was silence.

No one spoke.

No one stirred.

Suddenly, a gigantic starship docked at the space station port, and its gangway was directly lowered into the center of the space station square. Before long, figures began descending from the starship.

Who could it be?

Though silent, curiosity rose in the hearts of the students—

Soon, the tall and commanding figure became clear.

Everyone’s eyes widened instantly: ”!!!”

Holy crap!

It was—

ADMIRAL BAI JI!!!

Oh my God!!!

The students nearly all had their mouths wide open, their eyes wide with shock and excitement, and they almost let out a shrill scream, but they managed to bite their teeth and hold back.

Seeing Admiral Bai Ji through the Light Computer was not that thrilling, but seeing him in person, even Ji You was so excited that she felt like smoke was about to come out of her throat: Oh my God, it’s Admiral Bai Ji! The legend of the Alliance ahhh!!!

Compared to what was seen in the news, the real Admiral Bai Ji was even more elegant, with a more slender figure, and carried an indescribably majestic aura. Even as he calmly stepped forward, it was impossible for anyone to overlook him.

Nobody even dared to raise their eyes to meet his gaze.

Heart-pounding.

Truly.

His aura was strong, beyond what can simply be described as thrilling.

Among the powerful spiritual practitioners Ji You had encountered, such as Teacher Mu Jianling and Principal Hong, their externalized spiritual power was already terrifying, but it still paled in comparison to that of Admiral Bai Ji.

Is this the innate power of a mutant? Is this what a person with a natural 50% Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rate is like?

So strong!

Truly strong.

Ji You didn’t dare raise her head to look at Admiral Bai Ji, feeling almost overwhelmed by his imposing aura, as if she could hardly breathe. The six foolish Spiritual Silks in her own Spiritual World were also instantly as timid as chickens, unwilling to move an inch—

After Admiral Bai Ji descended from the space station, he remained silent. He glanced up, gently looking at the building holding the spirits of the fallen, and deeply bowed his head. Those warriors behind him also followed suit in homage.

Then—

Soft yet heroic music began to play, and a procession of warriors, bearing the spirits of the departed, slowly emerged.

Admiral Bai Ji stood still, and together with everyone else, they bid farewell to the spirits of the fallen as they left the space station to return to their respective homes.

As the starship was about to close its hatch, Admiral Bai Ji suddenly said, ”The menace of the Star Beasts shall one day be eradicated!”
