CHAPTER 237: CHAPTER 237: LITTLE ZHOUZHOU RISES

After Ji You’s successful challenge, several other students initiated challenges against members of the special training squad, but they all failed. Consequently, there were fewer challenges afterwards, and those who mustered their courage became more cautious when choosing their opponents.

However, after a round of challenges, besides Ji You, only two others succeeded; the rest failed.

This indirectly proved Teacher Mu Jianling’s discerning eye, which was truly sharp.

After several rounds of challenges, the training field suddenly quieted down for a few minutes. Just when Ji You thought there might be no more challengers, suddenly—someone stood up.

Looking in that direction, Ji You surprisingly found it to be her thick-browed, big-eyed son Xuzhou.

Xuzhou had obviously hesitated for a while before making up his mind, so his resolute expression hadn’t faded yet. He looked at Teacher Mu Jianling and shouted, "Teacher, I want to participate in the challenge!"

Mu Jianling: "Oh?"

Xuzhou’s appearance did surprise Teacher Mu Jianling.

This child, how should I put it? He’s not particularly outstanding in any area, and those left on the field are much stronger than Xuzhou. In Teacher Mu’s view, Xuzhou could only end up failing.

But—

Since the student is willing, naturally, he should be given a chance.

Teacher Mu Jian nodded: "Alright."

Upon hearing this, Xuzhou looked around at the top students and suddenly said, "Teacher, I want to challenge number 1888, Zhang Ye!"

Zhang Ye: "???"

Zhang Ye stared: "Dude, are you sure you want to challenge me? We’ve faced each other more than once or twice, don’t you know how many times you’ve lost?" In other words, why bother?

Xuzhou’s choice was unexpected, but also reasonable. Ji You had a different view and loudly encouraged: "Little Zhouzhou, don’t be scared! Go smash his head! You two are familiar, and you know his tactics—this is your biggest advantage! Don’t be afraid! I support you!"

Zhang Ye: "..."

Xuzhou: "..."

Suddenly, Xuzhou felt it might be better if you didn’t support me at all.

He always felt that the moment number 4444 paid attention to him, he entered a weird cycle that he couldn’t escape.

And the thing is!!!

He didn’t even know what that cycle was.

Regardless of what Xuzhou or Zhang Ye felt inside, the battle between the two brothers ignited instantly.

Both were piloting the same type of mech—Chasing Sun. Not only were the mechs the same, but their fighting styles were also very similar, both aggressive and fierce. For a moment, everyone saw sparks flying and cannons firing...

As for who would win or lose? It was almost impossible to see.

Ji You clapped her hands, yelling excitedly: "Little Zhouzhou, move, move, get behind him! Quick! Quick! Quick, hit his bottom!"

"Right!"

"Just like that!"

"Oh no! Little Zhouzhou, your shot was off!"

"Dodge! Dodge!"

"Little Zhouzhou! Taking one hit is nothing! You can lose your head, bleed, but never lose your spirit! Be tenacious! You’re the best!"

...

Around them: "..."

My ears really hurt, what should I do?

I really want to manually kill this noisy duck!

And then, the surrounding students turned their eyes towards Teacher Mu Jianling, only to find that Teacher Mu was actually wearing noise-cancelling earplugs, arms crossed, frowning and staring at the battle between Zhang Ye and Xuzhou.

Around them: "!!!"

So there was this kind of tactic?

Impressive.

No wonder Teacher Mu didn’t care about her students—it turns out she wasn’t disturbed by them.

For a moment, the many students looking at Teacher Mu Jianling’s eyes became more and more sorrowful, and even more sorrowful...

Mu Jianling’s brow twitched as she cursed: "Why are you staring at me? Watch the match! No wonder you all are weaklings, lacking focus and meticulousness, not even a bit of endurance! What use are you? Huh?"

Students: "..."

You have endurance, yet you dare not remove your earplugs.

But—

No one dared to say it out loud, nor bring it up.

At this moment, the battle had reached its peak intensity; it was all about stamina now! Ji You didn’t notice the unusual looks around her, nor did she hear the conversation between Teacher Mu and the students. Her entire focus was on the center of the battlefield, and she couldn’t help but clench her fists tightly, feeling extremely tense—it was more nerve-wracking than her own fights.

Indeed—

Isn’t being a parent tough?

Boom—

Boom—

The explosive sounds were deafening, but when the smoke cleared, the two Chasing Sun mechs were still stubbornly facing each other. The victor—had yet to be decided, and the surrounding students were well aware that it now depended on who could hold on and launch another powerful assault.

Ji You cried out with all her might: "Little Zhouzhou! This is the moment, go for it! Go!"

However—

Both mechs didn’t move but instead simultaneously turned their heads towards Ji You and roared, "Shut up!"

Ji You opened her mouth: "Aha~ Then I’ll shut up."

For her son’s victory, she had to stay quiet, behave, and not mess things up for her son.

The moment Ji You shut up, the world instantly became peaceful.

Just when the students around her felt relieved, they suddenly caught a glimpse of Teacher Mu Jianling, who had also swiftly removed the noise-canceling earbuds from her ears in that instant, and started observing the battle between Xuzhou and Zhang Ye intently.

Students: "..."

At this time—

Xuzhou’s mech had a crippled leg and a broken arm, and the pockmarked holes from the artillery fire looked somewhat terrifying... Of course, these weapons and artillery had no real lethal effect, but the pressure and resistance the mecha drivers faced... were just like those experienced by real mech drivers.

And Zhang Ye?

Zhang Ye was in a much better condition than Xuzhou; at least, his Chasing Sun mech’s limbs were intact, and he had clearly taken fewer hits than Xuzhou.

The surroundings were silent.

—Who would make the first move?

Clearly, it seemed to be Zhang Ye! Because he appeared to still have strength to spare.

Just then, everyone saw Xuzhou make a move! Despite his Chasing Sun missing a leg and being slower, he charged at Zhang Ye in an instant, with Zhang Ye reacting quickly, aiming his cannon at Xuzhou.

Boom—

Xuzhou was blasted away, but in that instant, Xuzhou’s mech also fired two cannon shots at Zhang Ye!

Boom Boom—

And in an instant, Zhang Ye was also struck and blown away.

Both fell to the ground simultaneously, probably the blast wave and shock were too intense, and they didn’t get up for a long time.

Silence.

Nobody spoke.

This match was fiercely intense and also made everyone feel the fearless determination, ferocity, and resilience of the Chasing Sun drivers!

Ji You clenched her teeth tightly, glaring intensely and shouted, "Little Zhouzhou, hurry up! Get up, if you stand up, you win!"

It seemed as if Xuzhou could feel Ji You’s call, and he slowly stood up one step at a time.

Ji You clenched her fist, jubilantly shouting: "Little Zhouzhou! Well done! Barbie is proud of you!"

Xuzhou: "..."

Xuzhou fell back again.
