Chapter 674: Like a Chick in the Hand
At the moment when a sweet metallic taste rushed to her throat, Ji You’s heart sank, sensing an impending disaster. She immediately activated the emergency device, but it took a few seconds to respond. Ji You thought there was enough time, but the next second as she spit out a mouthful of blood, her body convulsed, feeling as if all her organs were about to explode under the Mecha’s weight!
It’s over!
Ji You gritted her teeth, attempting to forcibly sever the connection with the Mecha.
However—
It was a few seconds too late.
Unable to withstand the physical strain and unable to control the Mecha, Ji You was fiercely thrown against the cabin wall.
Clang~
Clang~
Clang~
...
Her frail body, like a thrown sandbag, repeatedly smashed into the cockpit—
Ji You was in excruciating pain, and her vision began to darken...
[I’m done for!]
Just as Ji You felt utterly helpless and doomed, suddenly—
A swift figure leapt diagonally, holding a massive sword, striking extremely fast, and smashed fiercely into the cockpit window of the ’Chasing Sun’ she was piloting.
Could this be shattered?
This was an alloy transparent window, sturdy and durable, bulletproof and designed to resist Star Beasts. Even a level 5 Star Beast might not break through it~
Ji You thought she was seeing things, but the scene before her was real!
Crack~
With a crisp sound from the alloy window, this agile figure lifted his foot and kicked through the cracked window and leaped inside!
Mu Jianling, with a stern face, cursed:
"Idiot!"
"Transfer the authority!"
Hearing the vigorous scolding, Ji You’s panicked heart instantly calmed down; she bit her teeth and stubbornly transferred the piloting authority of the Mecha to Teacher Mu.
After Mu Jianling took control of the Mecha, the first thing he did was to stop all commands of the Mecha.
The battered Ji You finally slumped limp inside the cockpit.
The emergency kit swiftly moved forward, repairing Ji You’s physical injuries.
second.
seconds.
seconds.
...
About 30 seconds later, Ji You’s injuries finally stabilized, and she could breathe slightly and utter a few words:
"Thank..."
"Thank..."
"Elder..."
Mu Jianling gave her a stern look and harshly said: "Shut your mouth!"
Ji You: "..."
Ji You dared not speak anymore.
Mu Jianling’s face remained stern, his tone filled with deep disdain and helplessness, "It’s okay to fight hard, but being so foolish as to not be able to save yourself is utterly stupid!"
Ji You silently listened.
Mu Jianling continued to curse incessantly.
minutes later.
The emergency kit managed to stabilize Ji You’s injuries, but the most severe damage was actually to her internal organs—the emergency kit had only given a rough repair, and organs still needed thorough examination and repair with specialized treatment instruments.
But whether it was internal injuries or external injuries, with the current medical technology of the Alliance, treatment was very easy.
The most worrisome thing was the damage to spiritual power...
Mu Jianling frowned and asked: "How’s your spiritual power?"
Ji You, now able to speak completely, felt and said, "It’s... it’s okay."
In reality, the Spirit Space had also been chaotic just now. The reason?
She was frightened.
Piloting Chasing Sun was not a strain on Ji You’s spiritual power, but her Physical Strength couldn’t keep up. Physical Strength, simply put, refers to the body, the body is the foundation, it’s the groundwork; as great as spiritual power and supernatural powers are, they still rely on this physical layer of support—
Ji You just now felt like her whole body was about to explode.
Six Spiritual Threads at this moment were all standing upright, fiercely patting their chests, looking all jittery:
Boss: [Master! Can we not do this next time? Boss almost got scared to death.]
Second: [Scared... scared...]
Third: [Third is also very scared...]
Fourth: [Yingyingying... Fourth was scared to death, Fourth is not afraid of death, but afraid of never seeing Master again.]
Cough cough...
Hearing Fourth’s words, although Ji You knew this guy loved to flatter and seize any opportunity to do so, this plight made her feel unusually comforted.
Next.
Old Five: [Master, I’m not scared, and you shouldn’t be either. Physical weakness is just temporary, later I’ll work hard with Master to become stronger!]
Wow~
Ji You, clutching her heart, suddenly forgot all about the flattering Fourth, feeling extremely relieved and happy.
Old Five this honest thread, doing honest things, telling the honest truth, how could one not like him?
Behind Old Five, Old Sixth also wagging its tail, squeezed forward, eagerly saying: [Master... scared, but we all shouldn’t be scared... Old Sixth will also try hard...]
Cough...
Following the trend, Old Sixth’s words also brought a fair bit of reassurance.
Overall, Ji You’s Spiritual World wasn’t harmed, it was just her body that suffered a lot.
Mu Jianling gave a quick check and confirmed that Ji You’s spiritual power was temporarily unharmed, then, she put the Great Sword back into the Space Button, slightly bent her knees, lowered her waist, and extended her hands towards Ji You—
What is this?
To carry her down from the Mecha?
Ji You was startled, quickly clutching her chest: "Teacher!!! What are you doing?"
Ji You’s reaction was so exaggerated, it startled Mu Jianling, who dropped her gaze and upon meeting Ji You’s eyes instantly understood why Ji You reacted so strongly. Mu Jianling gave her a sidelong glance, her outstretched arms closing back, feeling that although Ji You has a weak constitution, there was no need to be so cautious.
Naughty kid~
Getting roughed up a bit more will just become habit.
So, Mu Jianling annoyingly cursed: "In your dreams!"
Having said that, she simply reached out a hand and picked Ji You right up.
Ji You: "..."
This!
This isn’t wrong guessing. Teacher Mu Jianling really was about to carry her down, and changed to picking up with one hand because of what she said.
This!
This position, like picking up a little chick, really—
Ji You’s old face instantly flushed, mostly from embarrassment. She forced herself to endure the shame and protested: "Tea... Teacher... I’m grown up now, please give me some face."
This entire Combat Department, there are nearly 1000 people, 1000 pairs of eyes watching, no face left for myself, eh?
Mu Jianling glanced at Ji You, ignoring her.
Then, Mu Jianling jumped out of the Mecha.
No kidding!
She, holding Ji You in one arm, directly jumped out from the broken cockpit window.
Keep in mind, the height of Chasing Sun’s body is 20 meters!
Jumping straight down!
Listening to the air resistance, Ji You was scared half to death—
Mu Jianling’s jump was resolute, imposing, but her landing was extremely light, almost making no sound upon landing, this skill, Ji You watched utterly dumbfounded!!!
So...
So powerful!
The physical strength of one person, to be this formidable, how terrifying?
The moment Mu Jianling landed, she directly let go, throwing Ji You onto the ground, and while Ji You didn’t even have time to cry out in pain, she quickly scrambled up to Mu Jianling’s side, showing a sycophantic smile: "Teacher... can I train to be as powerful as you?"
Mu Jianling gave her a sidelong glance, the contempt was thick.
Ji You chuckled and said: "I’m not asking for much, just to be able to hold you and jump down 20 meters without dying would be enough."
Mu Jianling: "..."
Mu Jianling lifted her hand and heavily knocked on her forehead!
