The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Tough Nut to Crack

The graceful Wind Wing soared light-footedly through the starry sky, seemingly oblivious to the impending danger behind it, yet Ji You’s gaze suddenly sharpened:

Coming!

Shen Changqing, piloting an antique mech, dived toward the Wind Wing in an instant, and just as they were about to collide, the antique mech suddenly paused.

At that very moment, the Wind Wing’s gun barrel aimed at the cockpit of the antique mech.

Inside the cockpit, Shen Changqing’s brow furrowed slightly, and a fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

Strong!

Very strong!

...

Because both of their speeds were not fast, and the antique mech even stopped for a moment, to the audience, it appeared as if the antique mech suddenly suffered from a control error, causing the mech body to wobble slightly and halt. Some audience members, puzzled by this scene, asked, ”What happened? Why did Xiaoqing suddenly stop? That shouldn’t be.”

But Ji You’s pupils dilated.

This was Spiritual Interference.

And—

This spiritual interference was so powerful that it could distract Shen Changqing, who had S-level spiritual power, for a few seconds.

This Fu Feng was very strong.

His spiritual power must be at least higher than S-level spiritual power of Shen Changqing.

Could it be—SS-level?

No!

Impossible, right?

Just a freshman and already this powerful?

In the next second, Ji You’s brow furrowed: ”Shen Changqing is going to lose!”

Boom—

The Wind Wing moved through the starry sky as if taking a leisurely stroll, but once its gun barrel opened, its actions were lightning-fast, sharp like the wind...

The Particle Cannon shot straight at the cockpit of the antique mech, a crucial spot, and a recovered Shen Changqing, with a somber face, hurriedly maneuvered the mech, trying to dodge the fatal blow. However, in the next second, the cockpit was hit.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

...

The start was fast, and so was the ending.

In less than 10 seconds, Fu Feng took out Shen Changqing without much effort, defeating him with hardly any aggressive attacks.

Below the stage.

Commentary buzzed, with most of Shen Changqing’s fans exclaiming what a pity, and Fu Feng’s fans? All of them were jubilant...

Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, and Yue Qiyuan all maintained stern faces without making a sound.

Then, they quickly chose to leave the venue.

Ji You didn’t delay either, following them out, and after some thought, she sent a message to Shen Changqing: ”Xiaoqing, I’ve watched your recent match. I think you misjudged your opponent’s strength. You shouldn’t have adopted such an intense approach right from the start... you should have held back more...”

After sending the message, Xiaoqing did not reply immediately.

Ji You pondered whether she should also challenge Fu Feng to a match?

His spiritual power was frightening; Ji You estimated that his spiritual power was even significantly stronger than Little Shengsheng’s!

Ji You needed to make it to the finals, where she would inevitably face Fu Feng.

Should she fight him now?

Or wait until she had a better chance?

While hesitating, Ji You received a reply from Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing: ”There was no misjudgment. I sought him out to test his spiritual power and to know how far apart we are.”

Upon reading this, Ji You wanted to retort and said: ”Big bro, are you silly? Even if you wanted to test, you should switch to a different mech, no? Using an antique mech to fight someone proficient with Wind Wing?”

On the other side, Xiaoqing fell silent for a moment, then honestly replied: ”I’ve gotten used to it recently, it’s handy. Also... there was no time to switch.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You was rendered speechless.

Xiaoqing: [Fu Feng’s spiritual power level is at least at the S-level peak, with a clarity degree no less than 30%. Even, he might be an SS-level expert. You must be careful when facing him.]

Huh?

Ji You’s eyes lit up, and she immediately replied: [Thank you, I got it.]

Honest people really are honest after all, sharing information that cost them a defeat without holding anything back.

What a good person!

At that moment, the system sent out another message: [’Dominate the Universe’ has successfully issued a challenge to ’Fu Feng’. Students who are interested in watching the match, please go to the spectator seats.]

Huh?

Yue Qiyuan?

Why has this guy suddenly set his sights on Fu Feng as well? Ji You doesn’t think that Yue Qiyuan can beat him since even Shen Changqing couldn’t.

Without almost any hesitation, Ji You immediately chose to watch the match.

Both of them were popular figures, and the number of viewers was massive, filling up in less than a second.

As soon as Ji You sat down, someone patted her from behind, she turned around and saw the face of Zuiwo.

Zuiwo: ”Rag Queen, what a coincidence.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You mockingly said: ”I suspect you’re deliberately following me.”

Chu Jiaojiao giggled and said: ”No, no, no... It’s really a coincidence.”

Beside her, Shen Changqing was quite polite and greeted Ji You, softly saying: ”Rag Queen, hello.”

Sitting next to Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang looked at Ji You with disdain in his eyes and snorted: ”Why do we have to run into this idiot every single time?”

Ji You blinked and teased with a smirk: ”Hello there, the loser.”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

Yue Qiguang immediately shut up and raised his head, focusing on the arena.

After successfully cutting Yue Qiguang down to size, Ji You waved her hand at Shen Changqing, ”Xiaoqing, hello.”

At this moment—

The battle between Yue Qiyuan and Fu Feng kicked off as the countdown started.

This time, Yue Qiyuan, adhering to a principle of caution, took a completely different approach from Shen Changqing; he didn’t attack first but instead tried to keep his distance in preparation for a war of attrition.

However—

Fu Feng swept away his previous leisurely and indifferent demeanor, taking the initiative to drive his mech towards Yue Qiyuan right from the start. Wind Wing in the hands of Fu Feng constantly changed directions, and despite his high speed, all his movements were crystal clear to the viewers...

To manage to control the mech’s speed, rhythm, and frequency with such precision was enough to show—this person’s strength was genuinely terrifying.

As he flew, every movement seemed to carry an easy grace. When he attacked, it was with a motion that seemed fast as lightning, but in reality, it was unhurried...

In contrast, Yue Qiyuan seemed slightly flustered, at least that’s how it appeared to outsiders. If he could have kept his cool, he certainly wouldn’t have been powerless to fight back.

Hm?

Ji You’s eyes flashed. Was it really a mistake by Yue Qiyuan?

No.

It was Spiritual Interference.

Fu Feng’s move this time was even more silent and imperceptible than when he faced Shen Changqing, almost making it impossible for others to feel the presence of the Spiritual Interference...

This person!

This technique...

Somehow, it gave Ji You a vague sense of familiarity.

Who could it be?

...

The outcome was as Ji You had expected; Fu Feng won, and Yue Qiyuan was defeated.

After winning, Fu Feng didn’t say much. He simply nodded towards the defeated Yue Qiyuan and then left the battlefield.

Yue Qiyuan, with a stern face, also left without saying a word.

Ji You raised her hand, touching her chin: ”It seems that this Fu Feng is good on both offense and defense. He’s indeed a tough nut to crack.”
