Those spaceships turned into fireballs, streaking past the frozen trainees.
They crashed heavily onto the asteroid’s surface.
In an instant, the explosions came one after another, deafening, and even the planetary surface trembled slightly.
Yet at this moment, the battlefield became silent.
Everyone tacitly stopped fighting, gazing up at the sky, waiting for an answer.
And soon, within the crimson atmosphere ignited by the explosions, the shadows of dozens of spaceships slowly emerged.
A vague black dot stood atop the lead ship.
As the ships drew nearer, breaking through the atmosphere, the crowd finally saw the black dot’s appearance.
It was a striking, blue-haired loli with her hair in a ponytail.
She wasn’t standing on the ship’s bow, but floating ahead of it.
She raised her right hand toward the sky, fingers curled as if grasping something, veins bulging at her temples, a cool and adorable smirk on her face.
“Everyone, Class Four has long been the prey hunted by our Class Nine. Give me, Xing Lan, a little face, and don’t interfere! Hand them over to me, and maybe I’ll let you all leave.”
The girl spoke the most domineering words in a soft, sweet voice.
Amplified by starlight energy, her voice carried for thousands of meters, clear to everyone present.
And precisely because they could hear her clearly, each person’s expression grew increasingly strange.
“Is that Little Xi?” Lin Zhen looked up in a daze, then let out a relieved laugh, a hint of ease relaxing his face.
“I never thought she had such a domineering side.”
“She—she actually came?”
Xing Ke’ai’s face flashed visibly with a trace of fear, and she hurriedly crawled off Lin Zhen.
“Pfft…” Zi Jiu laughed aloud. “Looks like the one who came is the most beneficial to us, huh?”
She straightened up, looking at Heishui, whose expression kept shifting.
“Heishui, if you leave now, you might still have time.”
“So she’s here, huh? Now there’s nothing to worry about!”
Shanying, already drenched in sweat from exhaustion, saw who had arrived in the sky and instantly laughed heartily, flopping right down.
Completely ignoring the enemies still around.
And the others who had experienced Yun Ruoxi’s terrifying strength all unconsciously swallowed hard, and, whether unwilling or helpless, put down their weapons.
“‘Give me some face,’ huh, Lao Xi’s face really is huge!”
“So you’re the blue-haired Xike Si, the one who holds the fruit of face in this starsea.”
“Lao Xi’s status, tsk tsk—one word and all the enemies are too scared to move.”
“This female lead’s way stronger than the male lead. Feels like all that’s left for the male lead later is to sponge off her.”
“Don’t worry, when Little Xi meets Lao Lin, she goes soft automatically.”
“You lapdog, relying on others’ power!” Heishui spat.
Zi Jiu’s eyes narrowed instantly, as if about to act directly, but given the disparity in strength, she held back.
“Heishui, you won’t have to wait long. I’ll defeat you.”
“You? Maybe in your next life!”
Heishui sneered, then suddenly looked up at Yun Ruoxi and roared:
“Xing Lan! You keep hounding me—do you really think I’m afraid of you? I just don’t want mutual destruction, that’s all!”
“But today you destroyed all our Class Four’s ships! Today, there’s no turning back for either of us!”
“Come on then, I’ll fight you to the death right here!”
“Oh, really?”
The blue-haired loli in the sky heard Heishui’s shout and turned her head coldly to look over.
When she saw Zi Jiu standing next to Heishui, her indifference instantly melted into delight—and a hint of embarrassment, caught showing off in front of someone she knew.
“Jiu—Jiu-jiejie, why are you here?”
“Wait, if you’re here, doesn’t that mean…”
Yun Ruoxi seemed to have only focused on talking tough just now and hadn’t checked who was actually present.
Now, seeing Zi Jiu, she belatedly glanced over the battlefield, her gaze landing on Lin Zhen lying on the ground and Xing Ke’ai standing nearby.
“A’Zhen-gege—”
She beamed with joy, but when she saw the blood at the corner of Lin Zhen’s mouth, her expression turned furious as she looked toward Xing Ke’ai.
Whoosh!
She shot down through the atmosphere at lightning speed, her psychic shield scraping against the air, creating a blinding flare like a fireball, wrapped in searing heat, appearing before Lin Zhen in a flash.
Buzz!
Xing Ke’ai saw Yun Ruoxi streaking down and immediately tried to flee.
She turned into starlight, darting across the ground, but before she could get far, she was forcibly grabbed out of the air.
Dragged straight back and squeezed back into her original form by psychic power.
“You…” Yun Ruoxi looked at the loli, who was about her own size—maybe even a bit shorter.
Her face softened a bit, but her attitude remained cold.
Lin Zhen quickly said, “Little Xi, don’t go too hard on her. There was really nothing she could do.”
Yun Ruoxi pursed her lips at his words, then nodded, and flung Xing Ke’ai aside with a forceful toss.
Then, suddenly, she raised her right hand behind her.
Crack!
Heishui, who tried to ambush, smashed through several layers of psychic power in desperation, but was then caught in air condensed by psychic pressure, as if trapped in a swamp—his speed plummeted instantly.
“Xing Lan! We’re both top ten trainees and you dare ignore me!” Heishui roared, grinding his teeth, pounding at the psychic shield in front of Yun Ruoxi.
He knew he wasn’t as strong as Yun Ruoxi, but believed that if he gave it his all, he could at least pose some threat.
So for Yun Ruoxi to ignore him like this was the ultimate humiliation!
Bang bang bang!
Dozens of heavy punches in a row, and finally a small crack appeared in the shield before Ruoxi, accompanied by the sound of shattering.
Just as Heishui panted with joy, Yun Ruoxi spoke.
“I’m sorry for ignoring you, so I let you have thirty moves. Now, it’s my turn, right?”
As she spoke, she raised her right hand and squeezed hard at Heishui.
Her psychic power instantly split into more than a dozen threads, covering his nose and mouth, clamping his joints in reverse, and starting to dismantle his cybernetic battle armor from within.
Against such smooth, practiced maneuvers, even Heishui—touted as the strongest body among the trainees thanks to his ability and battle armor—could barely move.
Step by step, as if rusted, he advanced toward Yun Ruoxi.
“Do you know why I keep hounding you?”
Looking at Heishui as he drew closer, Yun Ruoxi’s face showed not a trace of fear.
All the trainees around watched intently, a glimmer of curiosity flickering on their faces.
Indeed.
Listening to Yun Ruoxi’s words earlier, it seemed she had chased Heishui all the way here.
What kind of grudge could make her chase him so relentlessly?
“I—don’t—care!” Heishui, his mouth and nose forcefully sealed by psychic power, could only utter muffled, broken words, but even that didn’t quell his fury.
“But I do!” Yun Ruoxi’s voice turned icy in an instant.
Fuck off to those who thinks Lin zhen is her weakness, as if she’s just a mad dog and Lin zhen is her owner she wagging her tail to. Just end the season already, this drama is so lame
