The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: Fury for the Sake of Red

”Oh—since you like challenges so much, why not have a match with me?” A sudden voice, clear with a hint of laziness, startled Ji You like she had been electrocuted. She widened her eyes and looked in the direction of the voice, then shouted, ”Scumbag He Bi!”

He Bi had just pushed through the crowd and was about to walk to the center of the surrounding circle when he suddenly paused: ”...”

Ji You laughed foolishly as she rushed over, ”Scumbag He Bi, pay back the money!”

He Bi choked hard, his raised foot almost retracted. After holding back for a moment, he resisted the urge to turn around and leave, then put down his foot, reached out to push Ji You’s smiling face aside, and said, ”Who are you? I don’t know you.”

After speaking, He Bi directly walked up to Barro Parker, slightly squinting, and said, ”Senior Brother Barro, don’t mind the little junior sister who hasn’t seen much of the world and lacks vision. Why don’t the two of us have a match?”

Barro Parker’s face suddenly sank.

After truly seeing He Bi’s face, Barro Parker’s feelings were complex, a mix of emotions. He never paid much attention to this junior two years below him, even though he often heard school instructors say there’s a second-year named He Bi who is very strong. Not only is his personal combat power mighty, but his ability to lead teams in battle is outstanding, making him a key figure in the school’s development focus. Barro Parker didn’t think much of it.

This year Barro Parker is a senior, about to graduate. He passed the selection process last year, entered the Fourth Legion’s front-line combat unit, and successfully became a reserve soldier. During internships, he frequently excelled, making his permanent position practically guaranteed once he graduated and received his diploma.

After entering his senior year, to better adapt to the legion’s life, Barro Parker applied to the school for an external internship early on. Therefore, he has been away from school for the past year and isn’t familiar with He Bi’s progress or the incoming freshmen.

However, Barro Parker hails from an elite family on Nami Star in the First Star System. He heard there were several promising first-year students, including General Chu Zhan’s granddaughter and General Shen Chi’s grandson...

Barro Parker always thought the juniors from the Shen and Chu families would be the standouts, but—

The most prominent in the entire freshman class turned out to be an insignificant person.

Ji You?

Whose family is she from? It seems there’s no family with the surname Ji on the Main Star.

This person suddenly emerged, much like the second-year He Bi—clearly ordinary, without family background, without resources, nothing remarkable, yet daring enough to catch so much attention.

Especially He Bi, whom he hadn’t considered before. His ranking turned out to be higher than his own, ranked ninth in the United University’s list!

On what grounds?

When Barro Parker heard Ji You’s arrogant words, his eyes darkened: since this officially 165-cm-tall, Double B talent youngster loves the limelight, he might as well give it a try.

Thus—

The above challenge was initiated.

Ji You’s rejection was unexpected for Barro Parker. In his mind, he thought himself as ranked 99 and taking the initiative to challenge her would surprise her, leading her to accept it happily.

But—

Even more unforeseen was what followed—

—He Bi appeared.

With a brazen attitude, acting like a young rookie with fearless ignorance.

Excellent.

Barro Parker narrowed his eyes, saying, ”Since you step forward voluntarily, how could a senior like me refuse?”

As his words fell, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed!

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing... all the bystanders felt two domineering, terrifying presences suddenly emerge, instantly filling the entire mission hall.

Boom—

Unseen, it seemed like sparks were shooting out!

Crackle ~

Some students broke into a cold sweat on their foreheads, and others turned as pale as paper...

Neither He Bi nor Barro Parker moved, standing about 2 meters apart, eyeing each other without any sign of abnormality.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

More and more students in the scene broke out in a cold sweat on their foreheads, their backs quietly soaked, yet He Bi and Barro Parker remained serenely unfazed, still staring at each other.

”Cough...” A male student with weak Physical Strength and equally weak spiritual power, not belonging to the Combat Department, suddenly swayed... Just as he was about to fall to the ground, He Bi raised his hand—

Unseen, the pressure that had been weighing on the student suddenly lifted, causing him to cough violently: ”Cough cough... cough...”

Barro Parker’s face darkened.

He must go all out, yet his opponent could still pay attention to the irrelevant people nearby...

The higher and lower ranks are clearly evident.

However—

This was merely a straightforward spiritual power contest.

Barro Parker stared, pondering silently.

Just then, He Bi suddenly chuckled, ”Senior, the school’s task hall is a public facility; if it gets damaged, we have to pay. I’m broke, can’t afford it; how about we find somewhere else for our match?”

Barro Parker was about to speak when a short person beside him suddenly said, ”I can confirm—Senior He Bi is indeed broke; he still owes me 5 million and hasn’t paid.”

He Bi: ”...”

He Bi really wanted to kick him.

Then, Ji You giggled and said, ”But Senior Brother Barro, you shouldn’t fight with Senior He Bi; I think you won’t beat him. If you lose, it might be embarrassing.”

Barro Parker’s face darkened again.

Then.

The annoying little short someone suddenly slapped his thigh, saying, ”Ah! I forgot, rank 99 fighting rank 9, losing doesn’t seem to matter, huh, it’s not shameful.”

Barro Parker’s eyes deepened.

He Bi held his black lines, raised his hand, and slapped Ji You’s head, ”Enough. If you get beaten to death, I’m not collecting your body. I’ll—” He Bi glanced at Ji You’s cheeky smile, elongating the tone: ”I’ll spit on you before walking away.”

”...” Ji You twitched the corner of her mouth, then quickly smiled and said, ”Senior, don’t be like this, we’re friends, right? Don’t worry, if you get beaten up in a sack, I’ll definitely spit before leaving too.”

He Bi: ”...”

He Bi turned to look at Barro Parker, who was scowling beside him, said, ”Senior Brother Barro, what do you think of my proposal?”

Barro Parker raised his face, saying, ”Alright.”

Instantly—

The entire task hall, inside and outside, packed with a crowd, all erupted with excitement!

”Damn!”

”Big news!”

”Rank 9 He Bi, initiating a challenge to rank 99 Barro Parker!”

”He Bi supposedly raging over a beauty! And that trouble-making beauty is rank 100’s 2B Ji You!”

”Damn!!!”

”Eating melons!”

”Quickly, eat the melons!”
