Chapter 1166: Chance Encounter
When Ji You saw a slightly familiar figure in the queue at the registration window, she paused for a moment. As she got closer, she finally saw clearly who it was!
He Nu!
The number one ranked second-year in the Mecha Combat Department of the Akya Star Military Academy, He Nu!
That’s right.
It’s him!
This guy once courted death by challenging Ji You, only to be beaten to tears and run home crying.
Seeing He Nu here, across several star systems and countless miles away, Ji You felt a bit of joy. She was about to go up and say hello, but then she heard a burst of chuckling from ahead, and someone said:
"Which planet is this from?"
"What backwater place? Akya Military Academy? Never heard of it. Is the school out of people? Can’t they find a decent guy to compete, and all the participants are female teams?"
Speaking in an exaggerated tone, this person instantly drew everyone’s attention. He seemed quite pleased with himself, with a smug smile on his face. His exaggerated red, green, and yellow non-mainstream hair made him appear quite uncouth, as he squinted at He Nu and the others and said, "Why did you garbage school sign up? Here to be cannon fodder?"
"Even if it’s cannon fodder, it wouldn’t be a female team! Hahaha..."
As he continued, he let out an exaggerated laugh.
He Nu’s face was already flushed, and he clenched his fists tightly. The girls behind him were also red-faced with anger, all clenching their fists, wishing they could rush over and beat up the speaking boy.
Murmurs arose from around:
"Wow!"
"Really!"
"All females."
"Can’t the whole school find one male? All females in the competition? If we face this school, should we go easy on them?"
"We might go easy, those girls are so delicate-looking, after all."
"Hahaha..."
"Ahem..." Someone loudly pointed out, "Did you get it wrong? There’s clearly one male contestant too. The registration form indicates male."
This sentence was like adding fuel to the fire, igniting the fury in the hearts of Akya Military Academy students!
At this moment, a tall girl behind He Nu suddenly stepped forward and said to the red-green-yellow-haired boy who first spoke mockingly, her face red and lips pursed as if with great effort, "You... you... don’t talk nonsense! Don’t look down on people, if you’ve got the guts come for a one-on-one!"
At this, the red-green-yellow-haired boy burst into laughter, slapping his thigh, "Sorry, I don’t hit women."
At this, the girl was even angrier, her face flushed to a liver-like color, "You!"
He Nu pushed the girl aside, standing in front of her, addressing the critical red-green-yellow-haired boy, "Speak your name, under my Tie Chui, no nameless hero survives."
With that—
He Nu raised his hand and pulled out a massive iron hammer.
Bam!
The hammer hit the ground with a tremendous roar.
"Ha—"
"What big talk."
"Arrogant!"
"These Akya Military Academy people, how—"
Boom—
The chattering around suddenly halted because—everyone found that as the hammer landed, an invisible pressure spread around, instantly making the students present feel immense oppression.
This!
This is spiritual pressure.
Wow!
Such a wide range?
Many students’ faces flashed with astonishment:
Students from this unknown school are so strong?
A bit unexpected.
At this moment, a reprimanding voice suddenly rang out in the crowded registration hall, "Li Jiu, mind your words."
With these words, the tangible pressure on He Nu began to crumble and dissipate...
Soon, the pressure hanging over the students’ heads vanished, and everyone looked towards the voice to see a group of five entering the hall, led by a very handsome, tall, and imposing boy with black short hair and long, narrow eyes filled with sharpness. His gaze on the red-green-yellow-haired boy was icy and indifferent.
Seeing the newcomer, the boy named Li Jiu immediately fell silent.
The boy turned to the students around, with a perfectly timed smile on his face, saying, "Sorry for the scene; we will discipline our school’s students in the future."
He then courteously and patiently explained several points to everyone, "You’ve come from afar; if you need any assistance, feel free to ask. The First Military Academy will certainly provide help."
The students below began to whisper among themselves:
"Who’s this?"
"Even that arrogant red-green-yellow didn’t make a sound in front of him, he must be a big deal."
"You guys have never seen him? The First Military Academy has already announced this year’s representative students. This is one of them, Wei Xiaoxiong."
"Ah?"
"Wei Xiaoxiong?"
"I heard he’s the captain."
"Very strong!"
"Just now, he easily dispelled the spiritual pressure released by the Akya Military Academy’s boy!"
"Really strong!"
"The First Military Academy is truly the first, with deep roots. The top students from other schools are nothing in front of them..."
"Hope our school doesn’t draw the First Military Academy this time, or we’re doomed."
"Draw the First Military Academy? Don’t even need to fight, just pack up and go home."
...
Listening to the murmurs around, a smile played at the corner of Wei Xiaoxiong’s lips. This display of strength should have suppressed most of the schools with sheer momentum, just as Li Jiu said, the students here to compete are mostly just cannon fodder, fireworks, a bunch of weaklings, not worth mentioning. As for a few other schools...
Wei Xiaoxiong’s gaze moved from He Nu and the group of girls behind him and gradually settled on Ji You.
—These are the ones to focus on.
Ji You’s eyebrows slightly arched: [Wei Xiaoxiong? Could he be the Hero King?]
[Oh—]
[An old defeated opponent.]
Noticing the other party secretly watching her, seemingly calculating something... Ji You’s brow slightly rose:
[Well...]
[Whatever, a weakling’s gaze isn’t worth the attention.]
Ji You clearly felt the other party’s probing, but she didn’t care. She didn’t waste time focusing on such trivial matters and instead took a step forward, moving to stand in front of He Nu.
He Nu was a bit stunned at seeing Ji You’s face, "Ji You?"
