Chapter 1264: Chapter 1264: Showing Off Skills

The enemy camp gathered about 50 people to attack the 6th camp. Shaun and a few of his confidants felt their hearts sink upon hearing this news.

This is not good news.

Of course, it isn’t.

But!

This isn’t the worst news either, because with advance warning, bad news can also turn into good news.

Shaun tapped his fingers on the stone wall of the city wall, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said to a blond-haired, blue-eyed boy beside him, "Lester, go to squads 4 and 5 and discuss cooperation with them. The class leader of the 5th squad is Jack from the Combat Department of the Third Army. I competed with him once before, and he knows me. Hurry, Squad 5 will definitely agree."

Lester received the order and said confidently, "Shaun, rest assured, leave it to me, and I will definitely succeed."

After finishing, he glanced at Ji You ambiguously. Unfortunately, his ’flirtatious eyes’ were wasted on a blind person, as Ji You neither looked at him nor seemed to notice what he was saying.

"Bro." Shaun raised a hand, patted Lester’s shoulder, and said, "Be careful, make sure to clearly explain the pros and cons to Jack, and if necessary, we can lower our interests a bit."

Lester inwardly disagreed. From his perspective, they already had vital intelligence and crucial communication equipment... With all these resources in hand, why should they lower their own gains?

If they lowered theirs, it would directly impact the interests of the class members, including Lester’s own interests.

However, even if his heart disagreed, Lester did not argue, but nodded, "Class leader, rest assured. When have I ever dropped the ball?"

Shaun said, "As long as you win over Jack’s 5th squad, the 4th squad will definitely agree."

His strategy was to first persuade squads 5 and 4, and then naturally squads like 3 and 8 would follow suit.

Lester nodded, "Rest assured, wait for my good news."

With that, Lester turned and stood atop the city gate, then suddenly twisted his face towards Ji You, raised an eyebrow, and with a leap, jumped down!

Whoosh~

The 3-meter-high city wall, Lester landed lightly and gracefully like a cat.

The next second, the blond and blue-eyed Lester, in front of everyone, deliberately showed off his skills, arching his body like a cheetah, swiftly sprinting out.

Seeing this, Ji You shook his head silently:

Not him.

Someone who could design a communication system in such a rough environment with such meager resources on the competition field could never be such a goof.

Then—

Who could it be?

Ji You quietly observed the other two people beside Shaun, one of whom was a very silent girl who hadn’t said a word since appearing.

This girl’s appearance was not outstanding, even quite ordinary, with short black hair, deep eyes, and tightly pressed lips, giving off a rather challenging vibe.

While Ji You was scrutinizing silently, this girl suddenly lifted her eyes and glanced at Ji You.

Ji You, with a calm demeanor, smiled at her, "Classmate, can I borrow your saber to have a look?"

The girl narrowed her eyes.

In the arena, asking for someone else’s weapon was a very impolite action. It could even be seen as a provocative behavior.

Ji You blinked and said, "Actually, I, Ye, am very fond of wielding big sabers."

The girl pressed her lips together but still didn’t speak.

Ji You said, "Do you want to see my sword skills?"

The girl raised an eyebrow, a hint of pride in her narrow eyes, "You wield a sword?"

Ji You drew a crossbow arrow from behind and suddenly swung it in the air a few times.

The others were a bit puzzled, but the girl’s gaze instantly changed.

Then—

Everyone saw something drop straight down in front of their eyes.

Whoosh~

Something was happening!

The next moment, Ji You reached out her hand and caught a falling insect.

It was a moth, about the size of a fingernail. What was surprising wasn’t the moth, but its wings, which now had three marks on them!

These were made by the crossbow arrow, three clean, aligned marks! The marks looked deep, and the force that caused such deep marks was enough for the moth to die three hundred times!

Let alone the direct force, the air resistance from Ji You swinging the arrow alone could have killed the moth completely!

Yet, it hadn’t.

The moth wasn’t dead. Not only wasn’t it dead, it was still lively, fluttering its wings, trying to fly away.

The girl observed carefully, confirmed that the moth was indeed full of life, then looked at Ji You with a gaze full of intensity, "How did you do it?"

She finally spoke.

Shaun’s face also changed several times in an instant, "Yes, how did you do it?"

Never mind anything else, just this mastery over strength was jaw-dropping!

Outside the screen:

"This!"

"Oh my god!"

"I’m blind!"

"I just replayed her movements and specifically slowed it down to 50 times. I found she didn’t carve three marks into the moth using the air flow from swinging—her arrow actually touched the moth’s wings directly! Touched it three times in succession!

Three times!

Three times and the moth wasn’t killed!

My god! What kind of immortal technique is this?"

"Damn! Shocked! It really was touched three times!"

"Oh dear, am I just lacking the difference of one pair of hands? No! It’s the difference of a hundred thousand pairs of hands!"

"Hey, you in front, even with a hundred thousand pairs of hands, you wouldn’t reach her level of mastery! Her hands aren’t hands; they’re a super AI brain! Precise calculations, not a flaw!"

"If it was air flow, I would think it was just generally impressive, but she used arrows! Arrows, you guys! This precise calculation of strength is truly no less than a super AI!"

"I give up."

"Complete 360-degree surrender!"

"Now I finally understand what the analysis report meant about Ji You’s control over strength, and just how far she’s come!"

"She’s merely a 2B! If she one day advances to 2S, what will it be like?"

"Terrifying, unimaginable."

"I... am done. I’m now a bit smitten with her, what do I do?"

"Doomed! Too cool! Too handsome! I’m a guy, and I can’t help but like her."

"Hey, you in front, isn’t it normal for a guy to like her?"

"No! Not normal, because I used to like guys!"

"..."

The shock outside the screen and the shock inside the arena were now equaled, completely on par!

Shaun, the silent girl by Shaun’s side, and another handsome, gentle, black-haired boy all couldn’t help but stare at Ji You.

Facing three intense gazes, Ji You remained calm and composed, saying, "You guys looking at me like that makes it seem like I’m really amazing. There’s... nothing strange about it, I just randomly swung a few times!"

Shaun: "..."
