Chapter 1662: Chapter 1662: Convergence

Chu Jiaojiao withdrew her hand, confidently and calmly saying, "Just an A-level, nothing more. A one-on-one fight between Ji You and me, who’s to say who’d win?"

Ji You squinted, smiling, "I’d definitely win."

Chu Jiaojiao stared at Ji You’s beautiful face and laughed, "As long as Ji You’s face isn’t damaged, I’m willing to admit defeat."

Ji You: "..."

On the K-Q75, the two bantered back and forth, yet remained vigilant, not daring to relax even a bit.

Ji You’s Spiritual Silk Network extended into the distance, yet she found nothing unusual; on the contrary, she made an unexpected discovery.

"Jiaojiao..."

"Hmm?" Chu Jiaojiao tilted her head.

"It seems like my abilities haven’t just increased in level," Ji You said with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

Chu Jiaojiao’s heart tightened, "What’s wrong?"

Ji You exhaled softly before continuing, "I think the range of my Spiritual Network can now extend much farther. I can see things very clearly."

Chu Jiaojiao: "What?"

Ji You repeated herself.

"What?!!"

"Are you sure?" Chu Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Are you really sure?"

Ji You nodded, "Absolutely. In the direction at a 31-degree angle south of our coordinates, there’s an asteroid fragment speeding towards us! It’ll arrive in about 1 minute and 51 seconds."

Upon hearing this, Chu Jiaojiao immediately ran to the cockpit, adjusted the monitoring, and looked in the direction Ji You mentioned. She was stunned immediately, speechless.

It was true.

Ji You was not wrong in the slightest.

After a few seconds of silence, Chu Jiaojiao turned to Ji You, speaking heavily, "Ji You, promise me, next time you find such a monster, don’t eat it, let me handle it."

Ji You: "..."

Chu Jiaojiao pinched her thigh hard, grimacing, "What’s wrong with taking risks? If you don’t take risks, how can you progress? I’m Chu Jiaojiao; I’m fearless. Just some risk-taking; I couldn’t care less! If you give me a pile of monsters, I’ll swallow them all whole."

Ji You: "..."

Chu Jiaojiao stared at Ji You, laughing, "Wow, I didn’t know spaces rifts held such monstrous treasures. This isn’t a monster; it’s a gift from the heavens, a boon for me, Chu Jiaojiao, to grow stronger."

Ji You raised her hand, rubbing her forehead, "Jiaojiao... get a grip, it’s getting chilly, stay warm, don’t spout nonsense."

Chu Jiaojiao put away her playful demeanor and said, "I’m getting more curious about the true identity of that monster."

Ji You said, "Me too."

Considering the fragment’s distance is at least 100 kilometers away, Ji You could still see it clearly with her expanded Spiritual Network.

So—

Could she see even farther?

Ji You, tentatively, extended her spiritual power further. The process was fascinating, the sense of control over everything she touched was mesmerizing.

All the scattered fragments in space, cosmic debris, every tiny thing fell into Ji You’s range of perception.

Farther.

Farther still.

Even farther.

...

As she thought this, Ji You suddenly felt a dull pain in her head, realizing she had reached her limit.

Chu Jiaojiao anxiously asked, "How many kilometers?"

Ji You frowned and said, "1000 kilometers."

Chu Jiaojiao’s mouth dropped open.

Ji You shook her head, "But it drains my spiritual power. I can’t maintain a constant release of my Spiritual Network; it’s only usable at crucial moments."

Chu Jiaojiao said, "That still sounds like a superpower."

So far, Chu Jiaojiao had never heard of any family with A-level spiritual power capable of such a feat. It’s like having a cheat code!

Even her grandmother and aunt, when they were at A-level, weren’t so extraordinary.

At that moment, the fragment speeding towards the K-Q75 was about to collide with the spaceship. Under the joint control of Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao, the spaceship swiftly avoided it.

The two piloted the spaceship toward the main fleet.

Along the way, Ji You handed over primary control of the spaceship to Chu Jiaojiao, while she monitored the route, ready for any changes.

With the aid of spiritual power, Ji You navigated effortlessly, making no mistakes and preemptively warning of any dangers.

The two headed in the direction of X-N3848, aware that the temporary permissions for the K-Q75 would soon expire, prompting them to speed up as much as possible.

Whoosh—

Every time the spaceship passed by, it swept through space like a meteor, vanishing in an instant.

As they approached the position where they were to part ways with X-N3848, Ji You’s face suddenly fell.

Chu Jiaojiao also frowned, "The monitor doesn’t show information on X-N3848. How long have Senior He Bi and the others been gone?"

According to the plan, He Bi and the main fleet were supposed to continue toward the destination, but he was to adjust their speed to allow Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao to catch up if needed.

But now, there was no sign of X-N3848 here.

Chu Jiaojiao raised her voice, "Ji You, what did your spiritual network detection find?"

Ji You shook her head, "Within my maximum detection range, I haven’t found them."

Chu Jiaojiao was silent for a moment.

Then.

Chu Jiaojiao said, "I trust Senior He Bi, so shall we continue toward the destination?"

Ji You nodded.

The road ahead was extremely dull, without any discoveries, not even a living being. The two just kept on traveling—

Just when Ji You thought they’d completely lost the main fleet, she suddenly felt a slight reaction. Simultaneously, she also received a signal from the detector.

"It’s X-N3848."

"It’s Senior He Bi and the others."

The two stopped mid-sentence, stunned.

Because, from a distance, Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao could clearly see Senior He Bi and the others engaged in a battle with a group of Star Beasts.

Yes, a group.

A group of creatures resembling little lobsters with giant pincers. Yue Qiguang delivered a punch, snapping one of the ’lobsters’ pincers instantly!

Then—

Yue Qiyuan finished it off with a blade.

In the blink of an eye, the creature was dead.

Not just the Yue Family twins; Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, and Liu Fufeng were also fiercely fighting, but Senior He Bi was the most invincible, taking out opponents in one move. ℯℯ𝘭.

This group of ’lobsters’ wasn’t very strong. In less than ten minutes, the battle ended.

Then—

Suspended around X-N3848 were dozens of massive ’lobster’ corpses.

Seeing this scene, Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao felt very anxious, but couldn’t help exclaiming, "Oh no, I’m hungry."
