The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1560: Chapter 1560: A Brand-New Experience

On the stage.

Principal Feng Zhen straightened his back and continued, ”Fifth place in the interschool competition, Shen Changqing.”

His voice was very gentle and soft, but extremely penetrating. Even though he only spoke lightly and didn’t use any amplification tools, his voice reached the ears of everyone in the square, both teachers and students. Ji You lifted her head, looking at the old principal with admiration.

The old principal is really strong.

Too strong.

Earlier, when I teased my senior classmates, I used just a bit of Sound Wave Transmission, and I already felt my spiritual power getting a little tired. Yet, the old principal could cover such a wide range and so many people...

Ji You’s eyes widened as she gazed at the old principal, filled with yearning—

One day, I will surely achieve it too, and I will definitely be stronger than the old principal! Stronger!

To be first, always be first, she’s really not joking.

Just as she was overwhelmed with emotion and her fighting spirit surged, at that moment, Ji You suddenly moved, sensing something, and looked up again towards the old principal.

Then, Ji You saw the old principal’s eyes were smiling, his smile kind and gentle.

”You can do it.”

”I believe in you.”

”Ji You.”

Ji You’s eyes widened: ”!!!”

On the stage, the old principal looked at the audience, saying words of encouragement to the students, without the intention of glancing at Ji You.

But!

Ji You heard it, heard it clearly; the old principal had really spoken to her just now. Thinking back, Ji You tentatively extended her spiritual power, probing towards the stage—

At that moment—

Snap!

Somewhere unseen, a Spiritual Silk swiftly lashed out, pulling out Ji You’s spiritual power!

”You wretch, sneaking over with those shifty eyes? Show respect to the principal.”

Ji You shivered.

Then, she met Principal Hong’s deep and dark gaze.

Ji You quickly pleaded, using Sound Wave Transmission, ”Principal... ahem ahem... I was wrong, I won’t dare next time.”

”Ah Jiang, don’t scare the child.” The old principal’s voice was filled with laughter, ”It’s normal for a child to be curious, don’t stifle the child’s nature.” After speaking, the old principal changed his tone, extremely amiable, ”Hello, Ji You, doesn’t this way of communicating feel quite magical?”

Ji You indeed found it magical; she was simply amazed.

In fact, she learned to use spiritual power to transmit her voice because she faced danger several times, thinking about what to do if communication devices failed. Isn’t that like calling with no response from heaven or earth? At the time, she was inspired by her Six Spiritual Threads, and the Boss volunteered to take on the task, succeeding one try. It proved that the Boss ate the most, grew the biggest, and in critical moments, was quite reliable for such laborious tasks.

Therefore, Ji You was sort of self-taught; she first showcased this skill during a competition on Nami Star, using it to communicate with teammates in a cave, and it was very effective.

After the competition, Ji You learned that this trick is called ’Sound Wave Transmission,’ and it seemed quite fancy, not something ordinary people could learn.

Ahem ahem...

She’s not an ordinary person.

Ji You was quite proud of it.

Now, she discovered not only herself but also Principal Hong and the old principal could do it, and obviously, the old principal and Principal Hong’s abilities were stronger than her own. They could multitask, handling other matters while communicating with her.

Ji You found it fascinating, wanting to communicate more with the old principal and Principal Hong.

And then.

Ji You mischievously asked, ”Old principal, when I talk to you like this, aren’t you tired? If you’re tired, I won’t bother you, but if you’re not, shall we chat a bit more?”

Before the old principal could say anything, Principal Hong immediately scolded, ”What old principal, speak with respect, call him Principal Feng properly. And do you think this is a market, who has the leisure to chat with you? Get lost, don’t cause trouble.”

Ji You muttered softly, ”Clearly Principal Feng is willing to chat with me, and didn’t find me annoying.”

The old principal’s voice was filled with laughter, ”I’m a bit tired today, let’s chat another day.”

Ji You: ”Alright.”

Ji You thought for a while and asked, ”When will you have time?”

”Nonsense!”

”Don’t you understand human language?”

”Can’t you understand subtle hints unless I ask you to leave?”

On the stage, everyone saw Principal Hong, who was ordinarily stern, suddenly roll his eyes, and they were a bit puzzled, not knowing what had happened... Standing on the stage, obediently waiting for the old principal to give him a medal, Shen Changqing suddenly glanced around.

Principal Hong, with a stern face, glanced in the direction of Ji You before turning to Shen Changqing, ”Good child, don’t be curious, don’t learn from those unruly ones.”

Shen Changqing: ”?”

Ji You immediately pulled a face and muttered, ”You say whatever you like, but don’t pull Shen Changqing into this, such a well-behaved child, so pure and clean, don’t turn him into a He Xinlian.”

Shen Changqing displayed confusion.

Principal Hong scolded, ”Get going.”

Ji You didn’t leave; she was quite bold. Even though she was meeting the old principal in person for the first time, the old principal’s spiritual power made Ji You feel very comfortable. It was like a kind and amiable grandfather. Just having a spiritual chat with him, Ji You felt some of the turbid feelings in her head dissipated.

Her Six Spiritual Threads weren’t afraid of the old principal at all; Fourth even wanted to tentatively stretch its tail, but Ji You stopped it. Ji You trusted the judgment of the Spiritual Threads, and she trusted her judgment as well. Seeing that the old principal wasn’t even surprised, Ji You believed that the old principal was aware of her special situation. So, with a thick face, Ji You asked, ”Old principal, I’ve encountered a problem recently that feels very strange; can I take 1 minute of your time?”

The old principal laughed, ”Go ahead.”

Ji You hurriedly explained the problem she discovered when she met Nolan Augustine, where she found his Spiritual Silk carried a stench.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji You distinctly felt the spiritual power of both the old principal and Principal Hong change abruptly, and the atmosphere became extremely serious in an instant.

Ji You pursed her lips, ”Is... is there really an issue?”

The old principal sighed lightly and said, ”Indeed, there’s a bit of an issue because his spirit contains impurities. But this issue is complex to explain right now, involving many things that aren’t convenient for you to know at this moment. To put it simply, he used inappropriate methods for a quick upgrade of spiritual power. Oh, ignorant people... short-term gain, yet destroying his own future.”

The old principal’s voice was filled with deep regret.
