The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1133: Territory Consciousness

Certainly, here is the translation of the provided text:

Mu Jianling raised her hand and knocked on Ji You’s forehead, cursing: "Your head’s already not right. Do you think I have a lot of free time to manage you every day? Did you get a fever or have a short circuit?"

Ji You couldn’t help but reply: "Teacher, look at yourself. Is that how a person talks?"

Mu Jianling responded: "Words meant for people should be spoken to people."

Ji You: "..."

Feeling aggrieved, Ji You pouted and huffed: "That’s right, I shouldn’t be communicating with you using words meant for people."

As soon as those words were spoken, the atmosphere froze. Ji You shrunk her neck and quickly changed her words loudly: "I was just spouting nonsense!"

Mu Jianling glanced sideways at Ji You and snorted: "This world belongs to the strong. See, even farting in front of me, you only dare to do it with your mouth."

Ji You: "..."

Now, Ji You was truly aggrieved. Shaking her hands in anger and gritting her teeth, she said: "Teacher, don’t go too far! What’s the use of hitting me so hard and making me angry?"

Mu Jianling’s eyes held a hint of an imperceptible smile, but her tone was indifferent: "It’s useless, but it makes me happy."

"You..." Ji You glared, only to find herself at a loss for words in front of Teacher Mu Jianling.

Originally——

Being unreasonable seemed innate to Teacher Mu Jianling.

Mu Jianling snorted: "Understand now? Only the strong can be unreasonable."

Faced with this kind of teacher, Ji You, shivering with anger, took a deep breath and said: "I understand, Teacher. Rest assured, one day I’ll make you beg for mercy."

Mu Jianling raised her eyebrows, not angry. She looked at Ji You and said: "Your spiritual power fluctuations aren’t as active as before. What did you do?"

"Huh?" Ji You was suddenly shocked and exclaimed: "Teacher, how did you notice?"

As soon as she spoke, Ji You realized she had asked a redundant question. With Teacher Mu Jianling’s strong spiritual power, how could she not understand the students’ actions in the training ground? Sure enough, the next second, Ji You received an impolite look from Teacher Mu Jianling.

Mu Jianling said: "Are you practicing the Spiritual Power Shielding Technique?"

"Huh?" Ji You opened her mouth wide, shook her head: "No... no."

Mu Jianling’s eyes darkened.

Ji You felt the air pressure on the training ground drop sharply, the low pressure coming from Teacher Mu Jianling herself.

Moreover——

Spiritual Power Shielding Technique?

What is that?

"I really don’t know the Spiritual Power Shielding Technique..." Before she finished speaking, suddenly a memory hidden deep in her mind surfaced, and she frowned instantly.

[Generally, people who haven’t been in contact with spiritual power training rarely know that the Spiritual World can be temporarily shielded...]

Ji You remembered asking, she said: "Captain Lu, this state you have where others can’t feel the spiritual power fluctuations, is it just sealing the Spiritual World? The reason I..."

He smiled, his smile so warm and gentle like jade:

[This state can be called sealing, blocking, or shielding—all are correct.]

...

A flash of pain crossed Ji You’s eyes, and then she lifted her face to look at the dark-faced Mu Jianling and said: "Teacher, I haven’t learned the Spiritual Power Shielding Technique. I was just practicing the ninth layer of the Fierce Tiger Body Forging Technique."

After a success in the rabbit shed, Ji You slept for a night and was full of energy the next day. So, she thought since Liu Fufeng could hide spiritual power at any time, she certainly could too, as long as she practiced diligently.

Isn’t there a saying about the early bird?

If her talent wasn’t good, and she was innately inferior to Liu Fufeng, then she would make up for it with hard work.

Therefore, inside the training ground, she took every opportunity to practice. Yesterday’s subjects were a bunch of rabbits, and today she experimented on a group of her classmates. She knew them better, so she imagined herself as that emotionless little robot placed in the training ground to assist students.

But then——

She didn’t succeed.

Seeing Teacher Mu Jianling’s face switch from dark and gloomy to a look of shock that flashed by quickly, Ji You caught it and got a bit nervous, hastily asking: "Tea... Teacher! Is there something wrong?"

More than just wrong!

It’s practically——

Absolutely impossible!

Mu Jianling’s lips moved slightly, but of course, she didn’t say those words aloud. She only gave Ji You a cold glance and said: "There’s no problem, just feels like you’ve found more ways to court death."

"Cough—" Ji You almost choked on the air, staring wide-eyed at Mu Jianling: "Teacher, let’s stop joking around, okay, let’s chat normally."

Mu Jianling suddenly extended her hand, pressing her fingertip on Ji You’s brow. Ji You opened her mouth, and Mu Jianling said sternly, "Don’t move!"

Ji You was stunned and felt a very gentle spiritual wave approaching her Spiritual World. Her instinctive first reaction was to launch an attack, but remembering something, she immediately restrained the action. However, despite holding back a lot, when her Spiritual World was so closely contacted by another spiritual power, the opponent’s spiritual silk tentacles seemed to be about to extend into her Spirit Space in the next second, making Ji You tremble all over——

She was suppressing.

Her spiritual silk was also suppressing.

Mu Jianling’s strand of roughly a hundred spiritual silk threads released goodwill to the maximum, carefully approaching bit by bit... just as these hundred spiritual silk threads were about to touch Ji You’s spiritual barrier——

BOOM——

Like an overwhelming tidal wave, pressure surged from Ji You’s Spirit Space in an instant! Even someone as strong as Mu Jianling was impacted by this sudden pressure, causing her figure to sway slightly. Mu Jianling’s spiritual silk threads were extremely restrained, not retaliating even when attacked, but instead allowed the other party to cut and crush her spiritual silk.

The forceful stripping of spiritual silk is an extremely painful experience, even for someone like Mu Jianling, seeming non-human, it felt excruciating, the whole brain and soul seemed to be continually cut by a dull knife...

Pain.

However, despite the immense pain, Mu Jianling merely furrowed her brows slightly, a barely noticeable thin sweat appearing on her forehead.

Ji You opened her mouth: "Tea... Teacher... are you... are you alright?"

Everything happening in the ethereal Spirit Space couldn’t be observed with the naked eye, but through spiritual perception, Ji You was clearly aware of what had occurred just now. When Teacher Mu Jianling attempted to approach, an extremely terrifying force erupted from inside her own Spiritual World, blocking all forces except her own. Even those with goodwill and harmless intent... were absolutely not allowed to pass.

Was it the Iron Plate?

Or what?

Ji You was completely baffled.
