Chapter 1316: Keep Knocking
He Nu and Cheng Haoyue were startled, both raising their heads to look at Ji You, seeing her expression extremely serious, as if she was not joking. Yes, Ji You may look unserious, especially when she talks and acts in a seemingly careless manner, but in fact, is anything she does ever done casually?
In fact, if you think carefully, every word she says has a deep meaning.
Since she says the next battle is the final battle, it must be.
Ji You never boasts.
At this moment, in the hearts of He Nu and Cheng Haoyue, Ji You is a very strong, incredibly unfathomable person, someone they trust and have great faith in. What Ji You says, they will certainly listen to intently.
Because —
Ji You is ranked 100th in the United University list, the only one to make it with a 2B talent, also one of the only two to enter the All Alliance University’s list as a freshman.
The only two, because along with Ji You, there is one more freshman who entered the list — Shen Sheng.
How difficult is it to enter the top hundred of the All Alliance University as a freshman?
In nearly 1000 years, only 10 people have done it. In the entire span of 1000 years, only 10 people have been confirmed by the official evaluation of the United University ranking agency to have a strong enough ability to enter the top hundred at the beginning of their university journey.
These 10 people are all renowned for their strength. There’s the current Marshal of the Alliance, He Chuan, the former commander of the First Legion, Chu Zhan, the current commander of the First Legion, Chu Ba, the Sixth Corps Commander, Admiral Bai Ji...
Besides, there’s Mu Jianling from the Lanyue Star Military Academy. Of course, Mu Jianling’s fame cannot compare with the above figures, as although she is powerful, she has not made any substantial achievements in military or political circles, she’s just an ordinary instructor at a military school... But! Do not overlook her background, she’s the granddaughter of the current director of the Alliance Research Institute, Munong City...
In short, they are all remarkable figures.
It is enough to show how incredible it is for Ji You to break into the top 100 of United University as a freshman based solely on her ability.
...
Hearing Ji You say the battle was imminent, He Nu nodded, indicating he understood, while Cheng Haoyue, whose personality was more jumpy and less stable than He Nu, couldn’t bear the silence and asked, "You said the final battle is soon, is it later?"
Ji You said, "That depends on when the enemy plans to launch an attack."
Cheng Haoyue asked, "Then when does the enemy plan to attack?"
Ji You looked up at him.
Being stared at by Ji You, Cheng Haoyue didn’t understand for a moment, inexplicably feeling foolish, he raised his hand, scratched his head, and said, "Did I ask a silly question?"
Ji You shook her head, "No, you’re not silly."
Cheng Haoyue, shaking his hands, "...Should I be happy?"
Ji You said, "You can try being happy."
Cheng Haoyue: "..."
Ji You didn’t say another word, she walked back and forth in the narrow stone house with her hands behind her back, one lap, two laps, three laps...
Obviously, she was thinking about something, and Cheng Haoyue and He Nu did not interrupt her.
Suddenly, Ji You stopped and said, "When the enemy decides to attack depends on when they discover the traces we left behind when we sneaked into their camp. But the premise is that it’s discovered by Louise Carter."
Cheng Haoyue, He Nu: "???"
Ji You waved her hand, "He’s a classmate of mine, and also our biggest threat in this final battle."
With this explanation, Cheng Haoyue and He Nu quickly understood.
As the saying goes, know your enemy and know yourself, you can fight a hundred battles without loss. Since the opponent is Ji You’s classmate, they surely have a deep understanding of Ji You and possibly can guess some of her actions and intentions.
Thinking of this, Cheng Haoyue suddenly began to worry, "The enemy won’t discover our purpose, will they? Although the traces we left are concealed, if they conduct a thorough investigation, it shouldn’t be difficult. What if they find out we just faked an attack and hurried back to our camp?"
Ji You said, "That’s possible, but —"
She smiled, "Louise is strong, but he lacks confidence, he’s indecisive and often second-guesses himself."
"By the time he makes a decision, we could have run 99 laps around the field. Don’t worry, we still have time, enough for us to have a big meal."
Going round and round, still thinking about food?
Cheng Haoyue couldn’t help but be speechless.
Just then, Gu Peiyuan, who was tied up tightly and thrown in the corner, fluttered his eyelashes and suddenly opened his eyes. When he found himself tightly bound, he opened his mouth to scream, only to find that the very thorough offender had also gagged him, rendering him unable to make any sound. Furious, Gu Peiyuan struggled hard.
Rustle~
The noise caught Ji You and the others’ attention. Cheng Haoyue stared and pointed at Gu Peiyuan, "He... he... he’s awake again?"
He Nu couldn’t help but twitch his eyelid.
This—
Isn’t he too resilient?
Then —
Ji You raised her hand, and under Gu Peiyuan’s shocked, angry, and embarrassed gaze... without a pause, she tapped down.
Crunch~
Gu Peiyuan’s eyes rolled back, and his head drooped.
He fainted.
Cheng Haoyue’s mouth was wide open, "..."
He Nu’s eyelid twitched.
Ji You said, "He was in the way."
Cheng Haoyue glanced at Ji You, a fear flashing inexplicably in his eyes, he couldn’t help but shrink back and moved closer to He Nu, saying, "You... you won’t let him say a word?"
Ji You shrugged, "Do you think he could say anything to me?"
Cheng Haoyue tentatively said, "Curse your ancestors for eighteen generations?"
Ji You said, "Which is why I don’t like to hear it."
Cheng Haoyue, "..."
He Nu said seriously, "That makes a lot of sense. If it were me, I wouldn’t like hearing it either."
Ji You rubbed her chin, teasingly, "But our former commander’s head is indeed pretty solid, getting knocked twice and not breaking, waking up so quickly."
Cheng Haoyue agreed enthusiastically, pointing to the corner, "Look, that one shows no sign of waking up at all."
Isn’t his skull thick? The security boy who received the same treatment as former commander Gu Peiyuan is still lying in the corner, unconscious, probably not waking up anytime soon.
While they were talking, a security girl carrying a bag of grain came over. She was tall and had a well-proportioned figure, carrying a 100-jin bag of grain with ease. She quickly walked to Ji You and perhaps, because Ji You had underestimated her strength in carrying heavy items earlier, she intentionally swayed the grain bag in front of Ji You before saying, "The grain is here."
