The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 874: Duel

Ji You threw this punch with unstoppable momentum, as if carrying a world-splitting force, striking the scoreboard.

Bang!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the scoreboard quickly displayed a new number:

[Strength: 3078.]

Ji You: "..."

Chu Jiaojiao and others: "..."

Ji You, unwilling to give up, punched again.

3012!

Another heavy punch.

3010!

2999!

2899!

3214!

...

Ji You looked at the sequence of numbers, stopped his actions, and his expression was very complicated. The scene quieted down as soon as Ji You started, and at this moment, the atmosphere was quite frozen.

After a few seconds of silence, Yue Qiyuan shook his head and said, "I overestimated you; turns out you’re still at level 2B."

Ji You: "..."

Yue Qiguang slapped his thigh, laughing wildly: "The stance is pretty grand, but you fell right at the start, it’s killing your old man with laughter!"

Ji You squinted: "You’re sure I fell right at the start?"

Yue Qiguang frowned: "Come and fight me! I’ll teach you what a true powerhouse is."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaojiao’s eyes narrowed dangerously, and she said, "You’re sure you want daddy to show you what a true powerhouse is?"

Yue Qiguang: "..."

Yue Qiguang, unconvinced, said: "Daddy is just a bit weaker than you, but it’s not in Strength, it’s in spiritual power!"

Chu Jiaojiao started rolling up her sleeves: "I’m not using spiritual power today, just pure Strength, I’ll show you what a powerhouse is!"

Seeing Yue Qiguang and Chu Jiaojiao’s words escalating into a battle, Shen Changqing said softly, "Ah Guang, Jiaojiao, we’re here today to see your match with Ji You."

Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang simultaneously: "Hmph!"

As these words fell, Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiguang turned their faces to each other for one second, then both took a few steps back, their eyes filled with disdain, almost enough to fill the entire room.

Ji You stared at the scoreboard, frowning, unable to figure out why the difference in numbers was so large? After Shen Changqing intervened between Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiguang, he immediately said to Ji You, "The large difference in your numbers is because your current strength is unstable. The high values earlier were temporary outbursts."

Upon hearing this, Ji You was slightly disappointed.

Shen Changqing continued, "But that’s not a bad thing, it means your Strength has reached S-level potential. With continuous training and time dedication to refine and balance your Strength, it will solidify."

Yue Qiguang frowned: "She’s leaping from B-level straight to S-level?"

Upon hearing this, Ji You’s eyes lit up, her joy unconcealable: "Has my Physical Strength truly reached S-level?"

Shen Changqing, with a cool tone, spoke clearly, "Not exactly. It just means you have that potential. Truly reaching S-level needs a process, which might take a day, a month, a year, ten years... it’s uncertain."

Upon hearing this, Ji You was very disappointed: "How could this be? It’s like getting excited for nothing."

Yue Qiyuan, rolling his eyes on the side, said, "What are you dissatisfied with? The fact you show S-level potential means if you train steadily, no matter how long it takes, you’ll definitely reach S-level one day. Disappointed? Sad? Heartbroken? Many people train hard all their lives and can’t reach S-level, without even a hint of hope, what do you have to be disappointed about?"

Ji You raised a hand and ran it through her hair: "You’re right; I’ve been too hasty."

Lately, her mindset had been in a state of panic and urgency...

With bad news constantly arriving from the frontline, the crises she witnessed firsthand, and the tragic scenes... Ji You almost lost her calmness, fearing the Beast Tide might break out suddenly, and afraid she wasn’t capable of protecting herself, her family, and friends...

Ji You pursed her lips when suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder, and turning around, she was met with Chu Jiaojiao’s face. Chu Jiaojiao said very seriously, "Come on! Let’s have a formal duel."

Ji You nodded vigorously: "Okay."

Rather than rushing over things she couldn’t control, it was better to focus on the present, handling each matter in front of her firmly...

Both walked towards the training room for a sparring match, and Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, Shen Changqing, and Sheng Qingyan all put down what they were holding, looking towards the training room.

Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao stood on opposite sides, and without much dialogue, they both swung towards their opponent!

Ji You dodged aside, and in the next second, a fist was right at Ji You’s nose tip.

Ji You: "..."

Chu Jiaojiao withdrew her hand in time, but said provokingly, "With my previous attack and your reflex, half your face would be smashed, better remember this for me, I’ll reclaim the compensation later."

Ji You squinted her eyes, leaping up like lightning, launching a barrage of punches at Chu Jiaojiao. Ji You thought Chu Jiaojiao would dodge or counterattack, but surprisingly, Chu Jiaojiao did nothing. She watched as if the fist was about to smash her face and neck, then unexpectedly reached out a finger and caught Ji You’s fist.

Ji You was stunned and tried to exert more force.

Chu Jiaojiao pushed forward with a hand, and Ji You nearly stumbled, regaining balance and trying again towards the immobile Chu Jiaojiao—

"Crack~"

A subtle sound was heard, and Ji You froze, then felt a sharp pain, realizing her five fingers were fractured...

Enduring the pain, Ji You jumped up, sweeping a leg—

Thud~

Falling hard on the floor, her butt hurt badly, but sensing something amiss, Ji You quickly got up and attacked Chu Jiaojiao’s back neck...

Chu Jiaojiao swiveled to dodge it.

The two exchanged blows, with Chu Jiaojiao holding most of the advantage, leaving Ji You mostly on the receiving end.

"Ji You classmate, your left cheek is gone."

"Ji You classmate, your teeth are gone."

"Ji You classmate, your arm is broken."

...

Listening to each new alert, suddenly, Ji You found herself released from the previous chaos, agitation, and anxiety, regaining calmness, composure, and decisiveness... As Ji You steadied herself, she squinted at Chu Jiaojiao opposite her and leapt up again, attacking!

Chu Jiaojiao: "Don’t you want your hand?"

Ji You gritted her teeth: "Defeat you first; what does it matter how many hands I have then?"
