The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 117: Chapter 117: The Heroine’s Reckless Courage

Teacher Mu agreed.

The surrounding students: ”...”

Ji You immediately took a stance, ready to start sparring with Teacher Mu Jianling. Mu Jianling glanced at her, her expression slightly complex...

A bit weak.

But commendable courage.

And quite bold.

Not bad...

So—

Mu Jianling said, ”I’ll stand still, and you attack me any way you like using the method I just taught you.”

Upon hearing this, Ji You immediately grinned from ear to ear, thinking it was to her advantage if the teacher stood still allowing her to attack. So she quickly played up to him, saying, ”Teacher Mu, isn’t this too unfair to you?”

Mu Jianling: ”...”

Students: ”Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about yourself?”

Ji You chuckled and said, ”Teacher Mu, I’m starting now.”

After saying that—

She flew up with a kick aimed at Mu Jianling. Mu Jianling didn’t retreat or evade, and Ji You’s kick fiercely targeted Mu Jianling’s chest.

That’s right.

The chest.

Ji You thought that for a girl, the biggest weak point must be the chest.

Of course, hitting a girl in the chest is indeed a bit cruel and inhumane, but to avoid losing too disgracefully, she had to be ruthless and use extreme measures.

Ouch~

Forced by the circumstances, she didn’t want to be this vile.

Ji You’s kick was solid, fiercely targeting Mu Jianling’s chest. After kicking, she waited to reap the fruits of victory, or for Teacher Mu to panic and dodge...

But then—

All heard—

”Clang...”

A loud noise, Ji You suddenly bent over, holding her foot, ”Mommy~ it hurts...”

Mu Jianling looked up at her, his eyes flickering with an indescribable light.

Then, Mu Jianling raised his hand, casually patting his chest.

Oddly enough, a chill, cold and biting, seemed to set in.

Kind of cold.

Ji You shrank her neck, unsure whether to continue or not.

Mu Jianling glanced at her indifferently and lightly said, ”Again.”

The surrounding students: ”...”

What’s happening, why does it feel like cold air is starting to gather around?

It shouldn’t be.

This training room is temperature-controlled, it shouldn’t have such erratic climate changes.

Sure enough—

Was it because number 4444 was too reckless, dragging everyone else down?

Ouch~

Really wish the class could end right now.

Ji You stared at Teacher Mu Jianling seriously, just when all students thought she dared not continue, suddenly Ji You’s aura changed, like a sharpened knife, rushing straight towards Teacher Mu Jianling.

This time, Ji You didn’t aim for the chest, but instead swept fiercely at the lower body.

”Clang—”

Ji You instantly fell heads over heels.

Mu Jianling stood firm as a rock.

Ji You: ”...”

Kicking, sweeping, both failed, Ji You’s momentum suddenly changed again, raising her toes, and fiercely attacked Mu Jianling’s chest—

Mu Jianling’s eyes slightly narrowed...

Just when everyone thought she would kick again, as Ji You approached Mu Jianling, she suddenly changed her move at high speed, her left elbow fiercely striking Mu Jianling’s chest.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

In less than 5 seconds, Ji You struck 3 times.

Hiss—

Good courage.

Bold courage.

Dog courage.

...

Among the students, the boys all clicked their tongues, the girls all gasped in shock, involuntarily covering their chests.

Mu Jianling’s eyes slightly narrowed—

Crack—

A slight, faint sound——

Ji You felt her elbow dislocate.

So painful...

Mu Jianling coolly asked, ”Comfortable?”

Ji You hastily shook her head, wishing she could turn herself into a rattle-drum. As soon as she finished shaking, she hurriedly approached and asked with a flattering face, ”Teacher, are you in pain?”

Mu Jianling remained silent.

Silence enveloped the surroundings like a pall.

Ji You mustered up her courage and said, ”Teacher, may I give you a massage?”

Mu Jianling: ”...”

Students: ”...”

Ji You grimaced, sighing softly and continued, ”Teacher, why didn’t you step back? It would have been so much easier if you had just moved back a step, making things less difficult for me.”

The rule was that if Ji You successfully forced Mu Jianling to dodge even once, Ji You would win.

But—

No matter how Ji You attacked, no matter the method, whether honorable or despicable, Teacher Mu Jianling stood immovable, like Mount Tai itself.

Ji You heaved a heavy sigh: ”Ah~”

Mu Jianling, who had been silent all the while, suddenly said, ”So, I should thank you?” After saying that, she coolly glanced at Ji You and then lightly patted her own chest.

Ji You immediately shook her head: ”Dare not~”

”Dare not~”

”Absolutely dare not~”

As she spoke, Ji You weakly asked, ”Teacher, shall we continue?”

Her foot was about to break, and her elbow was fractured...

A plight, indeed!

To continue seemed somewhat unsustainable.

Mu Jianling said: ”Continue.”

Ji You: ”...”

With a bitter taste in her mouth, Ji You wondered what moves to use next—

Suddenly, Mu Jianling said, ”Don’t hit the chest anymore.”

Ji You: ”...”

Everyone around: ”...”

She minded.

She really minded.

Teacher Mu Jianling, who appeared unfazed on the surface—she truly minded.

So—

Number 4444 was doomed.

In an instant, candles flickered everywhere at the scene.

Since the teacher hadn’t called a stop, it was clear she still saw potential for Ji You to attack—Ji You also relaxed and started kicking, punching, throwing, squeezing, pushing, kicking, pinching... using every trick in the book, but Teacher Mu Jianling remained steady as a mountain.

Steadily.

As if she could stand there until the end of the world.

Ji You gasped for air, her legs weak, hands trembling, drained of every bit of strength...

Mu Jianling said, ”That’s enough.”

Ji You, barely sustaining her weak body, bowed deeply to Teacher Mu Jianling and said: ”Teacher Mu, I apologize for any offenses just now, thank you for your guidance.”

Mu Jianling gestured: ”Rejoin your team.”

Ji You didn’t say a word and retreated back to the student ranks.

Beside—

Yue Qiguang’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at her.

Yue Qiyuan silently shifted a few centimeters away from her.

Shen Changqing continued looking up at the sky...

Fearless like Chu Jiaojiao, upon seeing Ji You approach, also instinctively covered her chest.

—Although, it seemed like she virtually had nothing there...

Ji You: ”...”

Is this really necessary?

”Cough—”

Clearing her throat, Mu Jianling looked down and said: ”I’ve seen your performance just now and I will later publish your strengths and weaknesses on your Light Computers—”

”You must recognize your strengths and weaknesses in battle—”

”I hope next time I see you sparring, you don’t repeat the same mistakes...”

”And—”

”Ji You did well today. On the battlefield, especially in a life-and-death situation, there is not much morality to speak of! Your job is to survive by any means necessary—so, targeting your opponent’s vulnerabilities is essential.”

”—However, during school practices, no one is allowed to intentionally hit a girl’s chest. If discovered, all academic points will be deducted!”

”Absolutely no leniency!”

Ji You: ”...”

It’s over—

She really minded...
