The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 815: Only Real Combat Counts
As soon as Mu Jianling finished speaking, she casually clapped her hands and continued to sit in the spaceship cockpit, her eyes focused on the route monitor. It was as if the move she made to kill the Peak Eagle just now was merely a simple flick of dust. And the few words she spoke seemed no more significant than talking about what she ate today.
But—
The entire cabin full of students was left speechless, stunned by these few simple words.
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely bizarre.
Quiet.
Quiet.
Still quiet.
...
After a while, Ji You scratched her ear and asked, "By the way, did you guys hear that just now?"
Chu Jiaojiao: "I heard it."
Shen Changqing: "Yeah."
Yue Qiguang: "I’m not deaf."
Yue Qiyuan: "Heard it, but it’s good." Defeating such a strong individual is truly a happy thing. It means he’ll have to work harder in the future.
Xuzhou nodded.
Zhang Ye covered his face: "What should I do if I want to pretend I didn’t hear it?"
Lou quickly chimed in: "Me too."
Lance: "Heard it, how could I not hear it?"
Ji You grinned and spoke seriously: "It’s good that everyone heard. Remember, if we’re going to show off in the future, this is how we do it."
Everyone: "..."
Mu Jianling suddenly gave a glance: "Hmm?"
Ji You met Mu Jianling’s gaze, puffed up with pride, and exclaimed loudly: "Teacher, I admit you’re really strong now, but in the future, defeating you will be as simple as swatting a mosquito!"
Everyone: "..."
Phew~
Strong!
Too strong!
First of all, the courage to court death is unparalleled.
Instantly, everyone distanced themselves from Ji You, clearly showing a desire to draw a line between themselves and her.
Mu Jianling felt a slight itch in her palm, but she didn’t get angry immediately. Instead, she raised an eyebrow and gestured for Ji You to come over, saying: "Come here."
Ji You chuckled nervously, saying: "Teacher, you’re busy, I won’t go over there."
Mu Jianling insisted: "Come here."
Ji You protested: "I’m not coming. You’re definitely going to hit me."
Mu Jianling gave her a sideways glance: "Why would I hit you?"
After a slight pause, Mu Jianling spoke seriously: "I won’t hit someone who aspires to greatness, nor will I hit a child who likes to dream." She looked at Ji You and said, "Come here, I won’t say it a third time."
Ji You took a deep breath and reluctantly moved over.
Then.
"Smack!"
The side of her head was smacked hard.
Ji You clutched her nearly broken head, feeling aggrieved: "You said you wouldn’t hit me, didn’t you?"
Mu Jianling withdrew her hand calmly: "I only said I wouldn’t hit, I never said I wouldn’t smack, or knock, or kick..."
After saying this, Mu Jianling lifted her foot and kicked Ji You’s butt.
Ji You quickly dodged.
Seeing this, Mu Jianling retracted her foot, and Ji You just stopped, then—
"Smack!"
Her butt was kicked hard.
Ji You: "..."
Completely unguarded.
Mu Jianling said: "While the future strongest in the universe is still a weakling, I need to hit a few more times." With that, she smiled slightly and nodded. "Not bad, beating the future strongest in the universe feels great, considering adding it to the daily plan."
Ji You hurriedly pleaded: "Teacher... I was joking with you, actually, you can crush me as easily as an ant."
"Hmm~" Mu Jianling nearly snorted. "You finally have some self-awareness."
Mu Jianling finished speaking and did not pay further attention to these students. She turned around, refocusing on the route and speeding up again.
Beside her, Sheng Qingyan squinted his eyes seriously at the monitor. When others were speaking to Mu Jianling earlier, he did not participate, nor did he specifically pay attention to Mu Jianling’s movements at this moment.
Sheng Qingyan’s entire mind was focused on the monitor before him.
On the screen, there was pitch-black darkness, no light visible, as the detector continually scanned...
Suddenly—
Noticing a slight anomaly, Sheng Qingyan’s back immediately stiffened. At this point, the red light on the detector started flashing. Sheng Qingyan quickly locked on a target and aimed the cannon at the target coordinates.
Whoosh—
He fired a cannon shot, nervously waiting for the result.
Then.
It missed.
Sheng Qingyan frowned slightly in frustration; how many times has this been?
times?
times?
Or 9 times?
Mu Jianling said: "Deduct 50 points."
Sheng Qingyan clenched his fist:
times!
There have already been 10 misses!
This—
How could it be?
He’s practiced simulations countless times, never had such a high error rate before, how could it be so high now?
And it’s not just that he practiced on Star Network, he’s practiced offline countless times as well. Not a hundred shots a hundred hits, but at least a 99% success rate.
...
Just when Sheng Qingyan couldn’t figure it out, beside him, Mu Jianling’s slightly chilly voice came: "Difficult, isn’t it?"
Sheng Qingyan paused: "Teacher?"
Mu Jianling’s expression was serious: "Realized how actual operation is completely different from simulation operation, right?"
Sheng Qingyan hesitated a bit, then nodded: "Yes."
Mu Jianling calmly said: "It’s right to feel that way."
Sheng Qingyan pressed his lips together and asked: "Teacher, how can I increase success rates? Or rather, where am I lacking?"
Mu Jianling replied: "To break the barrier between practical and simulation, there’s only one way: practice more! Practice more in actual combat."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Qingyan pressed his lips tightly.
Mu Jianling continued: "Your issue is not with your physical strength or spiritual power, but your lack of hands-on combat experience despite theoretical knowledge."
With a slight pause, Mu Jianling lifted her gaze towards a red dot on the monitor, locked on target, fired!
Boom— 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
The Star Beast exploded instantly!
Sheng Qingyan’s pupils contracted.
Mu Jianling didn’t lift her eyes; her tone was calm: "Keep it up! Dodging won’t resolve anything. Avoiding only leads to faster death. Only by confronting it, engaging in real combat, and picking up your weapon can you protect yourself, your family, and friends, and protect—these people in the world."
Silence.
After a brief silence, Sheng Qingyan’s furrowed brows gently relaxed, and he whispered, "Thank you, teacher, I understand now."
Mu Jianling silently watched Sheng Qingyan for a few seconds, suddenly raising her hand to pat Sheng Qingyan’s head.
Sheng Qingyan: "..."
Mu Jianling: "Your head’s bald."
Sheng Qingyan: "!!!"
Mu Jianling: "Feels nice." Saying this, she raised her hand again to stroke the bald spot on Sheng Qingyan’s forehead.
Sheng Qingyan raised his hand to touch it, and sure enough—
Instantly, Sheng Qingyan trembled all over, his lips quivering: "Anger... Anger..." Angry little cutie is about to explode!
...
The spaceship continued its high-speed flight, successfully crossing the most dangerous asteroid belt on this route — White Horse Junction, and after passing a few barren planets, just as it was about to enter the Jump Point, suddenly, the spaceship was surrounded by a dozen Star Beasts.
Everyone’s nerves immediately tightened.
In the starry sky, these dozen Star Beasts were Carrion Vultures, headed by one level 8 Carrion Vulture, supported by five level 5 Carrion Vultures, as well as six level 4 Carrion Vultures. These Star Beasts all eyed the spaceship fiercely, clearly with hostile intent, and intending no peace.
