Free Web NovelChapter 1399: Chapter 1399: Skillful and Fearless
The mech suddenly stopped without warning, pitched forward, and due to the enormous inertia, both mechs skidded for quite a while before gradually coming to a halt.
The audience beneath the stage was shocked that Ji You would actually stumble, and took a moment to react.
Just then, some sharp-eyed viewers had already noticed that the two mechs, previously inseparable, surprisingly parted ways.
The giant head of the mech hit the ground, directly smashing a pit into it.
But these are minor details; what caught everyone’s attention was that the hatch of one of the mechs unexpectedly opened!
In the blink of an eye, a petite figure dashed out, leapt, and actually climbed to the doorway of the other mech.
Bang!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
It was Ji You!
Upon winding their gaze up, everyone found the object in her hand used for smashing the hatch was no ordinary thing; it was the chip and energy component of an antique mech!
The crowd: "Damn!"
"Fierce!"
"Huh?"
"Is she not going to use her mech anymore?"
Shen Sheng didn’t give Ji You much time to smash the hatch; she controlled the mech and quickly raced away!
However, Ji You was clinging to the outside of the hatch, vividly demonstrating to everyone what it means to be sticky like glue!
In the cockpit, realizing Ji You’s intent next, Shen Sheng’s eyes lit up: "It can be done like this?"
Flesh and blood against limbs of steel.
The confrontation between the two ensues realistically before everyone, instantly making the scene erupt in excitement!
Everything happened in a split second; no one had time to exclaim before seeing Ji You, who smashed the hatch a few times with the item in hand, move her fingers gripping the energy component, and then came a crisp snap.
A burst of sparks accompanied by lightning.
BOOM——
Simultaneously, Ji You leaped up, at the exact moment the sparks burst forth, climbing onto the other side of Shen Sheng’s mech head. Using the mech shell’s inherent defenses, she avoided this small-scale explosion, then her body slid down again.
At the same time, Shen Sheng’s tightly shut hatch had already been blasted open to create an opening.
Ji You slid down, precisely falling into the opening.
Successfully infiltrating the opponent’s mech cabin.
Everything was so timed perfectly, any mistakes would have resulted in a disastrous crash. The onlooking students were already dumbfounded!
This!
This scene was beyond words to describe!
Inside the mech cabin, Ji You hadn’t stood firm yet, when Shen Sheng’s glittering eyes met hers in the next second: "I waited for you for 3 seconds, you were 2 seconds faster than estimated. You’re impressive."
Ji You’s mouth twitched: "You were waiting for me?"
"Of course." Shen Sheng rolled up her sleeves: "Your mech is already wrecked; I’m guessing you’re here to seize driving control of my mech."
Ji You: "..."
Everything carefully plotted, prepared to amaze everyone with a single move, turned out to be laid bare in just one sentence; anyone would be frustrated by this.
When accepting the combat invitation, Ji You knew she was in a precarious situation.
Compete in Physical Strength?
Shen Sheng is S-Class, Ji You is B-level.
Ji You has great explosive power but very poor endurance, so she absolutely cannot fall into an enduring battle with Shen Sheng.
Compete in Spiritual Power?
Shen Sheng S-Class, Ji You B-level. Judging by level alone, Ji You cannot match Shen Sheng.
But Ji You has Six Strands with 100% purity, earlier she relied on the full cooperation of these Six Strands to temporarily paralyze the surrounding Spiritual Magnetic Field, bypass Shen Sheng’s densely woven Spiritual Silk defenses, and climb atop her mech.
Then, smashing the door, blowing it open, all flowed seamlessly.
But this is all she’s capable of since Six Strands consume too much energy and can’t be utilized further in this manner.
Shen Sheng’s Spiritual Silk Network already fills the vicinity of the mech, leaving no gaps.
[Master, she’s strong, you hang in there, we’re outta here!]
When Shen Sheng showed up, in the Spirit Space, the Six Strands fled swiftly, especially Fourth, shrinking its body in the blink of an eye, hiding who knows where.
Even Fifth, honest and sincere as it was, after a moment of hesitation, abandoned its master.
Of course, Fifth is still upright silk; the above sentence was the farewell message to Ji You before it left.
Ji You: "..."
The Six Strands shrunk into Spirit Space one by one, thoroughly, with not a single strand remaining outside.
In an instant, Ji You seemed to have turned blind, losing her spiritual perception, utterly unfeeling towards the powerful Spiritual Silk Network surrounding her, while multiple layers of Spiritual Pressure continued to exert on her, her small and frail body involuntarily trembled.
Shen Sheng watched Ji You’s trembling form, undeceived by appearances. She rolled up her sleeves, spread her arms, and said: "Come on! Let’s have a fair fight!"
Ji You’s eyes narrowed!
In the next moment, Ji You took the initiative!
A swift stride rushed to Shen Sheng, stretched her leg sweeping downward, kicking Shen Sheng in the knee!
Shen Sheng said: "It hurts when you kick."
This kick’s power was entirely on par with an S-Class physique.
Ji You said: "You could dodge."
She stretched her arm, intending to lock the throat.
"I don’t dodge. Because this way, I can gauge your body’s specific data range accurately." Only by physically experiencing can one ensure the precision of data.
And only having precise data allows one to instantly devise countermeasures.
After speaking, Shen Sheng shoved Ji You’s hand aside, yet instead grappled both of Ji You’s hands, Ji You bent her legs, twisted and extracted herself from the hold, but at that moment, she climbed onto Shen Sheng’s back, hanging off her like a koala.
Shen Sheng paused for a moment: "Ah? You dare to use that sticky on body combat?"
"Who said it must be used only on mechs?" Ji You snorted: "Pure physical combat actually tests how well that sticky skill stands."
Shen Sheng listened and felt a bit frustrated: "I never trained for this!"
By now, Shen Sheng already sensed something unusual; temporarily, she couldn’t shake Ji You off, and——
Ji You’s spiritual fluctuations were no longer detectable!
What happened?
Spiritual closure?
Shen Sheng learned about spiritual closure, but this didn’t seem like it! This wasn’t spiritual closure.
She instantly dismissed this suspicion.
What’s the case then?
Unless something is dead, it’s impossible to lack spiritual fluctuations; even plants have faint waves!
Shen Sheng’s expression immediately turned solemn! Without the opponent’s spiritual fluctuations, her ability to predict Ji You’s next actions became doubly difficult.
Shen Sheng began to rapidly rotate her body to break free from Ji You’s entanglement, however, Ji You’s arms wrapped tighter and tighter around her, like a dangerous python, the prey’s struggles were futile under the python’s coils, only entrapping itself further into peril.
Below the stage, the onlooking students all widened their mouths, taking a deep breath!
The students from the First Army looked even more serious to the extreme!
Ji You was unshakably sticky; she clung tighter!
Shen... Shen Sheng might get strangled by her?
Just then, aware she couldn’t shake off Ji You, Shen Sheng suddenly made an unexpected move. She imitated Ji You’s use of inertia to stumble, and after quick movements, Shen Sheng abruptly took a tumble, the two precisely landing on the mech control seat.
Seeing this scene, everyone was startled.
Not only was Ji You bold and skilled, but Shen Sheng was also a daring and skilled badass! Ji You wanted control of the driving seat, Shen Sheng simply handed it over, using this suicidal tactic, which others couldn’t even imagine and dared not attempt.
At this moment——
Both simultaneously reached out towards the mech Connection Device——
