The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096: The Gap

”Ah!”

Ji You landed on her head, her whole body slammed onto the ground. She tried to twist her neck and found that her head was still perfectly connected to her body. Half relieved, she heard footsteps approaching.

Lying limp on the floor like a mound of unformed mud, Ji You struggled to lift her head and met Mu Jianling’s gaze.

Mu Jianling squatted down slightly, her cold gaze fixed on Ji You, and asked, ”Does it hurt?”

Ji You honestly replied, ”It hurts.”

Mu Jianling said, ”Good that it hurts.”

The atmosphere between them was quiet for a moment but!

The next second, before Ji You could exhale, she kicked off the ground, and in an instant, she was about to leap over Mu Jianling’s head. As she swung a roundhouse kick, Mu Jianling reached out like lightning and grabbed Ji You’s ankle!

Over the shoulder, she threw!

Bang!

Ji You’s whole body slammed to the ground like a piece of tofu!

Crack~

Crack~

Crack~

...

In that moment, Ji You felt like a broken piece of tofu, smashed to pieces, not only her head separated, but her internal organs were spraying out of her mouth!

”Cough!”

”Cough!”

”Cough!”

...

A pair of short boots stopped next to Ji You’s head, and a slightly cool voice fell on the side of Ji You’s ear: ”Still want to play?”

Ji You spat foam: ”No... not playing anymore.”

”Oh––” Mu Jianling rolled up her sleeves, coolly said, ”I’m not done playing yet.”

Ji You: ”...”

Under the intimidation and scare tactics of Teacher Mu Jianling, Ji You reached desperately for the Space Button hanging on her chest, grabbed it, and fished around... right in front of Mu Jianling, she pulled out ––

A small white flag!

Mu Jianling: ”...”

”Cough...” Ji You knelt quickly and decisively: ”Teacher, I surrender... please accept my white flag.”

Mu Jianling’s mouth twitched, and with one kick sent Ji You’s white flag flying into the trash can.

Thud!

Hit the mark precisely.

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You’s mouth twitched: ”Teach...teacher! That’s my white flag, not trash.”

Mu Jianling squatted down again, staring at Ji You, enunciating slowly, ”Failures have no right to surrender, only—death!!!”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You felt a chill all over, instinctively hugged her head.

Mu Jianling looked at Ji You, curled up into a ball, her expression unchanged, only coldly said, ”Now do you know the gap between us?”

Ji You shivered.

Mu Jianling raised an eyebrow: ”Want to fight me?”

Ji You trembled and dared not speak.

In the large training room, one student and one teacher, one half-squatting, the other sprawled out like mud, the disparity between them is immense, the atmosphere extremely eerie...

Ji You’s earlier courage and her current prudent submission... in Mu Jianling’s eyes, all seemed like nonsense. She stared into Ji You’s eyes, questioning word by word: ”Do you think you’re strong, strong enough to have the right to challenge me?”

Ji You shrank her neck.

Mu Jianling slightly squinted her eyes, coolly said: ”100% clearance rate?”

Ji You: ”...”

Weak chicken Ji You dared not move.

Mu Jianling said: ”Spirit Silk with self-awareness?”

Ji You opened her mouth, but didn’t dare speak.

Mu Jianling moved closer: ”Strength skyrockets like a rocket?”

Ji You stared wide, not daring to blink.

Mu Jianling’s voice grew colder: ”100th in the United University? Don’t tell me you think your university ranking is earned like He Bi in third year, based on strength?”

But––

Could it be anything else?

This made Ji You indignant!

Seriously, who could escape from the jaw of Level 8 Viper Worms with 2B talent?

Ji You’s throat moved a circle, the words stuck in her throat.

Mu Jianling said: ”The only 2B entrant? Does 2B sound nice?”

Ji You: ”...”

Mu Jianling’s gaze darkened, coldly said: ”Everything about you, in my eyes, is just trash.”

Ji You: ”...”

Six Strands: [...]

Ji You weakly said: ”Teacher... don’t hit my face ha.”

Mu Jianling indifferently said: ”Is your face worth anything?”

Ji You: ”...”

Six Strands: [”Enough! This ginseng chicken is beyond the limit! Master! Beat her!”]

Ji You shrunk her neck, touched her still intact head: ”You want to fight, go ahead and fight!”

In an instant––

Six Strands, each faster than the other, shrank to the size of a needle point, cling tightly to Ji You’s Spirit Core in the Spirit Space, curling up, trembling.

Ji You: ”...”

Cowards!

While Ji You communicated with the Spirit Silk, Mu Jianling’s expression subtly changed, staring at Ji You without blinking.

Ji You hurriedly returned to her senses, weakly said: ”Teach...teacher... I know I was wrong. Next time, next time, I... I...”

Mu Jianling: ”Oh?”

Ji You gritted her teeth, threw caution to the wind: ”Next time, I’ll strike faster, harder, more decisively! I’ll leave you no chance to retaliate.”

Mu Jianling’s indifferent eyes flashed a faint smile, fleeting, then she coldly said: ”With your current strength? Maybe in your next life!”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You angrily puffed out her cheeks: ”Not with my current strength, I’ll definitely improve! Just wait, I’ll soon be able to compete with you!”

Mu Jianling flicked ash from her nails, nonchalantly said: ”Oh, the bravado of a little weakling, not worth acknowledging.”

Ji You: ”...”

At this moment, Ji You wanted to shout a classic line: [Never underestimate the poor youngsters!]

Cough cough...

Words reached her mouth, turned a corner, Ji You wistfully said: ”Teacher... you’re like a chatty villain, constantly giving the protagonist breathing room, in the end will only die at the protagonist’s hands.”

Then––

Ji You suddenly moved, fast as lightning, this time changing her strategy, using her body as a weapon, slicing toward Mu Jianling like a blade!

Mu Jianling remained still.

As Ji You sliced over, Mu Jianling pushed with her hand!

Bang!

Ji You crashed to the ground.

This time, Ji You truly stayed down like a piece of mud, unable to rise again.

Mu Jianling extended her leg, about to step: ”Still want to play?”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You covered her face: ”Yingyingying... not playing anymore.”

The next second.

Mu Jianling said: ”Go do laps with weights.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You was convinced she was crippled, dared not believe, asked: ”Teacher... how... how many pounds of weight?”

Mu Jianling said: ”300.”

Ji You opened her mouth, then opened it again... her lips moved for quite a while and finally said: ”Then... could you please call medical service for me ha.”

Mu Jianling did not answer. She suddenly squatted down, staring at Ji You, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, said: ”4444 Ji You, regarding your repeated suicidal spirit, honestly, I quite admire it. 5000 points.”

Ji You: ”What???”

Mu Jianling coldly said: ”Medical service.”

Ji You: ”...”

Startled awake, Ji You exclaimed: ”No! I don’t want it!”

Then, Ji You tried to move her feet, then her hands, and found her battered body could still support running a few laps. Ji You also realized that during the spar with Teacher Mu Jianling, her injuries seemed severe but in fact, the extent of her injuries was all within Teacher Mu Jianling’s precise control...

This!

Became even scarier.

Ji You truly realized the gap between herself and her teacher, so without another word, she quickly picked up a 300-pound weight and ran away.

Mu Jianling watched Ji You stumble, waver, yet still bit her teeth, slightly trembling, continuing to run, her lips moved slightly, but said nothing.

A person’s limits have always been forced out.
