Chapter 574: Evenly Matched
Behind her, a chilling sensation suddenly surged, and Ji You’s limbs and entire body tensed to the extreme at that moment!
Before the words fell to the ground, Ji You felt like her scalp was about to explode!
A High Energy Particle Cannon, stealthily approached without any sound, and Ji You had no idea when it had gotten so close to her face!
Ji You’s pupils contracted sharply, and at the crucial moment, she raised her hand to put up a Protective Shield...
However—
It’s too late!
It’s too close!
The enemy’s approach was fierce and unstoppable. As Ji You was applying the Protective Shield, Spiritual Silk Boss, Second, and Third all acted simultaneously, extending sharply to forcibly intercept the High Energy Particle Cannon!
Crack~
The swiftly approaching Particle Cannon suddenly paused mid-air for a moment...
Using this brief halt, Ji You, piloting her Mecha, disregarded everything and rammed into an area about 500 meters in front of her!
Bang!
At this moment, the hidden Mechanical Ghost Stinger, wobbling, revealed its shape...
Audience: "!!!"
The crowd was agape in astonishment:
Audience A: "How did she detect it?"
Audience B: "That’s bizarre! Didn’t the Particle Cannon come from behind Rag Queen? How did Ghost Stab get to the front?"
Audience C: "Terrifying... If it were me, I’d definitely think the enemy was hiding behind me, and by now I might have been done for."
Audience D: "That was so thrilling! So exciting! Isn’t Little Cutie too cunning?"
...
The audience was only briefly exclaiming. The battlefield changes in an instant, and at this time, the two colliding Mechas, the Ghost Stinger shook for a moment and immediately sprang up, trying to quickly distance itself.
Could Rag Queen let him get his wish?
A gigantic energy machete suddenly smashed down towards Ghost Stinger!
They were too close to each other; there was no way to dodge...
Just when everyone thought Little Cutie was certainly going to be hit, the Big Chopper in mid-air suddenly tilted, the point of impact swiftly shifted from the center of the energy system—only hitting the tail fin of Ghost Stinger.
Little Cutie burst forth sharply, whooshing~
In the blink of an eye, it widened the distance with Rag Queen.
Like a phantom, the Mecha quickly vanished from sight!
This is—
Invisibility again!
The audience, mouths agape, didn’t even dare to waste the time to swallow their saliva, intensely focusing on the vacant arena.
The brief conflict between the two caused a commotion that, once they stopped, made the arena return to calm once again, with only a trace of dust lingering in the air...
Ji You stood still, frowning, feeling her cerebral cortex, and even the Spiritual World, undulating...
In close combat, Ji You felt that she had to reevaluate Little Cutie!
This fellow’s usage of Spiritual Silk was not inferior to hers!
What was she relying on?
100% Cleaning Rate of Spiritual Silk.
But what about Sheng Qingyan?
How high was Sheng Qingyan’s Spiritual Silk Cleaning Rate? At this thought, Ji You realized she knew absolutely nothing about it!
Indeed, not even the slightest clue!
Did she, after all, harbor prejudices against Sheng Qingyan? Assuming that he was aimless and indisciplined, his strength probably wouldn’t surpass that of Shen Changqing or Yue Qiyuan and others.
But!!!
Sheng Qingyan’s manipulation of Spiritual Silk had reached an exquisite level, and his Mecha precision control, Ji You now felt, was definitely higher than Chu Jiaojiao’s!
...
Completely on alert, Ji You rubbed her slightly aching and swollen forehead. She had used too much spiritual power just now, and the consumption was quite large! She needed to take a breather...
This point was also a major flaw for Ji You!
Though her Spiritual Level had reached B-Level, compared to others, her spiritual power threshold was still too low, requiring her to be extremely cautious with every use!
Sigh!
Ji You asked:
Fourth:
Ji You furrowed her brow in deep thought:
There are two possibilities for this situation.
The first possibility is that the opponent has concealed their spiritual power, and what’s more, they might have a method to hide spiritual fluctuations.
This speculation was a bit terrifying, let’s not dwell on it for now.
The second possibility is that the opponent is not nearby and has already gone beyond Fourth’s Spiritual Detection range.
So—
Which one could it be?
Ji You’s eyes flashed slightly: She didn’t believe that Sheng Qingyan had already learned how to conceal and hide spiritual fluctuations because it was very difficult. It wasn’t something you could just learn because you got the training methods; otherwise, Sheng Qingyan’s spiritual fluctuations wouldn’t have been so intense when they had clashed at close quarters just now...
So—
There was only one possibility: He was in a distant location!
And then—
The audience watched as the Rag Queen simply found a spot in the arena, sat down, and started tapping her leg.
Audience: "???"
What the heck?
Taking a break in the middle of the fight?
This is allowed?
What about Little Cutie? Shouldn’t this be the time to take advantage of her weakness and go for the kill?
Is there such a thing as waiting for the opponent to have enough rest before continuing the fight?
While the audiences were continuously ridiculing and muttering, Little Cutie himself was troubled—
He—
The world’s number one Little Cutie, with his sniper abilities that never miss once he makes a move, had actually failed against the Rag Queen!
And—
His Spiritual World had been shaken and now throbbed with pain!
This Rag Queen, her strength exceeded expectations, one couldn’t afford to be the least bit careless!
Immediately, Sheng Qingyan made a plan in his mind: Let his spiritual power recover for a bit, because advancing now might not yield good results.
As a result—
The entire arena witnessed this scene:
Little Cutie and the Rag Queen both began to rest and recover mid-battle!
Audience: "..."
Didn’t we come here to watch a fierce fight?
second.
seconds.
seconds.
...
Time passed in silence. Just when the audience was getting impatient, the Rag Queen, who had been tapping her mecha’s mechanical leg, suddenly moved.
Her figure flashed, and in an instant, she appeared at a location hundreds of kilometers away—audience members widened their eyes: "Could Little Cutie be hiding there?"
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Just as this thought sprang up in the audience’s mind, several Particle Cannons appeared where the Rag Queen had been sitting, but all missed their mark!
Audience: "!!!"
"Ghost Stab is really unpredictable!"
"Good thing the Rag Queen moved quickly! Otherwise—"
"Terrifying!"
"So terrifying!"
...
When Little Cutie made a move, he did not reveal his position, because he had switched locations a second before he fired!
The Rag Queen kept darting up and down in the arena, leaving behind a trail of afterimages in the air... The audience couldn’t ascertain her position, which also made it difficult for Little Cutie to capture her—
However—
Sheng Qingyan ignored all the darting shadows of his opponent and stared intently at a certain point in the sky, slightly squinting—
The Mechanical Ghost Stinger’s cannon barrel also aimed at a certain direction, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...
Simultaneously, Ji You was also silently calculating the time: 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...
At most 5 seconds, Spicy Eye Little Cutie’s concealment function would wear off, and he’d have to reactivate it. The moment it disappeared was his chance!
seconds!
Both opened their eyes at the same time, several Particle Cannons fired towards each other—
But!!!
Sheng Qingyan suddenly widened his eyes, staring at the Rag Queen who was clinging desperately onto his mecha: "What the heck?"
