Chapter 390 - 192: Victory
Holy crap——!!! In that instant, all the audience’s hearts started spamming, a barrage of bullet screens breaking through the sky!
"Bye bye~~~~" Su Jiameng, due to exerting force in the wrong direction, also fell off the mechanical arm. But she was well prepared, tore the remaining clothes into strips and tied them up, hanging onto a hook on the mechanical arm to keep herself from falling!
Gu Ningyi, doing a free fall, had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot! Because earlier, when Su Jiameng lost her knife, this guy decisively kicked out at the area between the knee and below the abdomen, aimed at a spot that would cause severe damage if hit right!
Gu Ningyi, being a real man, of course dodged, and he dodged very quickly. But Su Jiameng’s shamelessness didn’t stop there. She blocked with one hand and grabbed his Laser Particle Sword, almost kicking and pulling him off the mechanical arm!
Su Jiameng once again refreshed the lower limits, directly using violent methods like a shrew to achieve her goal.
However, she was well aware that for this level of fighters, just a fall from a hundred meters wouldn’t be fatal. So... she added some ingredients. Su Jiameng, holding onto the precarious fabric strip, swiftly pulled out a large-caliber Energy Guns from the Space Hub, carried it on her shoulder, and pulled the trigger under the barrage of gazes from the audience...
In the audience, Gu Qidong had already covered his face as the blue light streaked through the sky. He swore he would never tell anyone in his life that his son had ever participated in this competition! This way of dying is really freaking embarrassing!
The powerful explosion sound came from the ground, the surge of airwave rolling in huge waves, crashing towards all directions with massive explosive aftermath. When Su Jiameng used the Energy Guns, the strip had already ripped apart, and her body, along with the heavy gun, fell to the ground.
The downward force, coupled with the explosive impact in a completely opposite direction, slammed her upward, her internal organs felt as if they were being hammered hard, causing her to frown in pain and vomit blood, almost losing consciousness.
"Whatever... I’ve already won anyway..." As Su Jiameng watched herself being propelled to the highest point and beginning to fall again, she glanced at Ghost Shadow’s mechanical arm and abandoned the idea of climbing up.
Because the moment the explosion happened, the victory had already been determined. Gu Ningyi, who was her equal in strength, even slightly stronger, lost to her shameless tactics, dying so aggrievedly...
Sigh... it’s unclear whether that guy died from the fall or handsomely landing from a hundred meters and then getting blown up by the oncoming Energy Cannon... Haha, if it’s the former, it’d probably be painful, if the latter... likely be painfully aggrieved?
These dim thoughts echoed in her mind, making Su Jiameng want to chuckle. But just when she thought she would bravely meet her end, a blurry shadow suddenly appeared in her view, slowing down her falling body...
"Miss Su..." When Su Jiameng came to, she saw Gu Ningxuan sitting beside her with pursed lips, under the sunlight, his dark brown hair fluttering slightly, eyes flickering with a complex expression, "How do you feel?"
"Still... hiss... still okay... not dead yet..." Su Jiameng tried to prop herself up with one hand but pulled on her internal injuries, immediately grimacing in pain. Many explosions don’t blow people to pieces directly, but the blast wave and shock force destroy the internal organs, causing the person to die from rupture.
However, Su Jiameng was quite lucky. Though the explosion was powerful, she was far enough from the ground during the fall, limiting the impact. Now she just felt pain, but didn’t have any critical injuries.
"Just don’t move, let’s wait until we’re out of the competition area..." Gu Ningxuan stopped her next moves, preventing further suffering.
"Oh..." With that said, she simply lay back down, acting like a corpse. Suddenly remembering something, she opened the team member list, finding only thirty-three survivors left, "The death toll is pretty nasty..."
Gu Ningxuan seemed to understand what she meant, and after a brief stupor, said calmly, "The situation on Augustus’ side isn’t good either."
"Hiss——I think, once they exit the competition area and see the entire match, it’ll get even worse." Su Jiameng laughed maliciously, "Losing to a group of people whose average strength is far inferior, feeling dissatisfied is normal. But young people, still haloed as geniuses, need to go through setbacks to truly grow."
So... those guys you’ve screwed over shouldn’t be mad, but should thank you instead? Gu Ningxuan felt like his worldview got forcefully refreshed, leaving no crumbs behind. Silently ridiculing, he returned to his previous silent state.
Vaguely, he felt he had some boundary-defying feelings towards Su Jiameng, but resisted understanding what those feelings were. He considered seeking someone to analyze them, but having watched their entire battle, the urge to express those feelings was firmly stifled.
Still not the time... he told himself. As for when the time would be right to speak, he thought... it would be a long journey. Maybe once he truly becomes responsible enough, the time would be right.
"Miss Su is right, some setbacks can be beneficial." Gu Ningxuan, keenly sensing the landscape around beginning to warp, turned to Su Jiameng, "We’re about to exit the competition..."
Su Jiameng’s eyes suddenly brightened upon hearing that, then reached out and grabbed Gu Ningxuan’s sleeve, "Hold on, make sure to protect me!"
"What’s wrong?" Gu Ningxuan asked, puzzled.
"I feel like I’ll be torn to pieces by someone the moment I exit the arena..."
Gu Ningxuan: "..." At least she’s self-aware... (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for recommendation or monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com)
