Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr "Although I don't know when Boss noticed you..." He suddenly recalled what Zilong had said to him at the start — it seemed like the first person to notice him was Ling Lan and not them...
Xie Yi's gaze hardened. He looked at Zilong and asked seriously, "Just now, you said that the first person to notice me was your Boss? Were you referring to Ling Lan? "
Zilong nodded and said, "Of course. If Boss hadn't told me that you were here, we wouldn't have come to watch the fight."
Zilong's words jolted Xie Yi back to reality. He finally understood who had knocked him down from the tree — it must have been Ling Lan!
Xie Yi's face instantly flushed red. He had thought that even if he could not be the best of the 7th graders, he would at least be able to match the strongest few. But reality had given him a slap across the face. He had been knocked down by Ling Lan's skillful attacks, and not only had he not noticed the opponent, he had even thought that he had made a mistake...
It was clear that Ling Lan's strength far surpassed his own. Xie Yi's mouth was bitter as he said, "Isn't Ling Lan very strong?"
Zilong glanced at Xie Yi strangely. Ling Lan's strength was publicly acknowledged by the entire grade, so why did Xie Yi look like he had just found out? Still, Zilong still answered Xie Yi, "Of course. If Boss had fought seriously, I don't know if I would have been able to last more than ten moves..." Zilong discreetly made an 'X' sign behind him, silently praying to all the gods passing by to forgive him for lying.
It turned out that Zilong had purposely said a few more moves. No matter what, he was still the top of the grade, so he had to give him some face. He couldn't honestly say that even he couldn't withstand a single attack from Boss … That would be too embarrassing.
Xie Yi didn't know that Zilong had already given him some face and deliberately said a few more moves. However, the answer of ten moves had also stunned him. This was because he knew that he was not stronger than Zilong. If Zilong couldn't withstand ten moves, then he wouldn't be able to either.
With Ling Lan's current strength, even if she were to enter the First Men's Military Academy now, she would not be weaker than those prodigies. With such a strong team leader, their team would definitely not fall into mediocrity.
Xie Yi's heart suddenly became firm. He raised his head and said, "I'm in!"
Xie Yi's resounding reply made Zilong and Han Jijun look at each other in pleasant surprise. Although they still didn't know Xie Yi very well, the other had made this decision after serious consideration. They believed that the other would definitely not change his mind easily after careful consideration. This was the kind of team member they needed...
Of course, to become their true comrade, one would still have to go through a series of tests, just like Lin Zhong-qing back then... it was just that Xie Yi didn't know about this yet.
Of course, Xie Yi still couldn't join Ling Lan's team at the moment, because they were still in the midst of the grand armed melee. The various functions of his communicator were basically still sealed off. He could only wait until the grand armed melee was over before he could receive an invitation from Ling Lan's team...
After completing their mission, Zilong and Han Jijun parted ways with Xie Yi after asking him about his intentions. Xie Yi's stamina was depleted, so he needed to find a place to recuperate. Meanwhile, Zilong and the others needed to continue fighting, especially since they needed to find the strongest members of the 10th grade Class-A and defeat them all. Otherwise, the 7th grade might not be able to win this grand armed melee.
Xie Yi waited for Zilong and the others to leave before he prepared to deal with the unconscious Yuan Chen amidst his sinister laughter. However, before he could make a move, the instructor monitoring the scene suddenly appeared and carried the other away, causing Xie Yi to miss his chance.
Still, Xie Yi was not upset. After all, the other was not a mortal enemy. If the other had not made a move to kill him, he would not have wanted to deal with the other. He just didn't want to leave any loose ends behind — this was a point that pig players had to keep in mind. However, since the instructor had stepped in, he would not be so persistent. Pig players had to know that they were only pretending to be a pig and not a real pig. Thus, he had nothing to fear from any challenge.
Speaking of which, Zilong and the others continued to participate in the battle. Because the team of the 10th grade's number one had almost been completely wiped out by Ling Lan, the remaining two members had also been secretly dealt with by Ling Lan. This greatly reduced the pressure on the 7th grade Class-A students.
Speaking of which, the two people who had been secretly dealt with by Ling Lan met up with the 7th grade Class-B five-man team, and a fierce battle ensued. Although the individual strength of the Class-B five-man team was weaker than the two members of the 7th grade Class-B team, their teamwork was quite good, and they actually managed to withstand a series of fierce attacks from the other side. As the battle dragged on, the power of Ling Lan's secret move became more and more apparent. In the end, the team members who had been chased away by Xie Yi discovered the signal left behind by their team members, and finally caught up. At this time, the 7th grade Class-B team, who had already adapted to the situation and was now at full strength, officially began their counterattack...
And due to the pressure from the opponent, two of the four students in the team who had not awakened their innate talent actually awakened it. Although the abilities awakened were very ordinary, once an innate talent was awakened, it meant that in terms of mecha piloting, he would be able to go further than the students who had not awakened their innate talent... of course, the more suitable the innate talent was for mecha piloting, the more beneficial it would be to all aspects of mecha piloting.
Faced with the fierce attacks of the 7th grade Class-B team, the two of them finally had no strength to resist. One of them was immediately knocked unconscious by the combined attacks of the 7th grade Class-A team, while the other saw that the situation was not looking good and immediately ran away... only to be struck down by another 7th grade Class-A team who happened to be passing by.
This kind of battle was happening all over the academy — the one struck down could be a 7th grade student or a 10th grade student. Only when the grand armed melee was over would the final outcome be known. Right now, everyone was working hard to stay in the grand armed melee.
And all of this already had nothing to do with Ling Lan. Number Nine controlled Ling Lan's body, and under Little Four's guidance, they arrived at the dormitory district.
As long as they pressed the surrender button, they would be able to enter the dormitory safety zone. Of course, Little Four could use the mainframe to enter even without surrendering. However, Little Four had urgently received Ling Lan's warning that he could not leave behind any traces that could be discovered. If he did so, it would undoubtedly expose his boss to everyone.
Number Nine decisively pressed the surrender button. Ling Lan's body could not hold out for much longer — if she did not return to the safest place, she would not be able to rest assured about Ling Lan's safety. Meanwhile, to Number Nine and Little Four, the outcome of the grand armed melee was not as important as Ling Lan's life.
Very quickly, Number Nine entered the dormitory district. In a few flashes, she had arrived at Ling Lan's villa. She barged straight into the house. At this time, Ling Lan's body was already showing signs of collapse, her entire body covered in blood. Such a horrifying scene caused Lan Luofeng, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching the live coverage of the grand armed melee, to jump up in fright.
"Auntie Nan!" Lan Luofeng shouted as she caught Ling Lan, who was about to fall to the ground.
"Young Master Lan! What happened? " Ling Nan appeared in the living room in an instant. With this, Number Nine knew that the other was at least a Qi-Jin stage master.
"An unknown enemy impersonating an instructor to assassinate me! Inform Ling Qin to send the family's top-class experts to protect... "Number Nine hurriedly left this message and then regretfully returned to the learning space. It was not that she did not want to explain things, but Ling Lan's body could no longer support her presence. If she had stayed any longer, Ling Lan's body would truly be destroyed.
Lan Luofeng stared helplessly as Ling Lan lay unconscious in her arms, and viciousness flashed through her eyes. No mother could accept her child being harmed. Even the weakest mother would turn into a ferocious lioness at a time like this.
"Auntie Nan, have Uncle Qin send people over. Send the strongest people over. Not only that, mobilize all the mecha teams in the family. I want the academy to give our Ling family an explanation!" Lan Luofeng's face was frosty, her initial gentleness gone without a trace, her eyes filled with killing intent.
A trace of pleasant surprise flashed through Ling Nan's eyes. She nodded vigorously and said, "Understood, Mistress!" This was the aura a mistress of a household should have. She had always thought that Lan Luofeng was a little too delicate.
"Ling Xiao, I definitely won't let anyone hurt our baby, no one..." Lan Luofeng hugged Ling Lan tightly, as if this was the only way she could protect her child.
"Mistress, I've already notified them. They will be here in an hour." Ling Nan contacted Ling Qin through the Ling family's special communication method.
"Also, I've asked Xiao Ying to activate the recovery pod. Young Master Lan is most suited to enter the recovery pod right now..." Ling Nan had just examined Ling Lan's body. Other than the large scale collapse of her muscles, there were also various degrees of damage to her internal organs. Fortunately, these were not fatal injuries with the current technology. As long as there were no problems with her brain, the recovery pod would definitely be able to heal Ling Lan's injuries. It was just a matter of time.
Lan Luofeng knew that with her own strength, she would not be able to carry the 13-year-old Ling Lan, so she decisively handed Ling Lan over to Ling Nanyi. Since she could not be of any help, then she should not get in the way. Lan Luofeng knew very well what she had to do.
She watched with red eyes as Ling Lan was placed into the recovery pod. She watched as the pod closed up. Only at this moment did Lan Luofeng's expression soften a little, filled with sadness and pain.
But when the recovery pod completely covered Ling Lan, Lan Luofeng's expression turned cold. She turned abruptly to Ling Nan and said, "Aunt Nan, let us await the arrival of the hospital director..."
"Yes! Mistress! "said Ling Nanyi respectfully.
An hour later, a white-haired old man mysteriously appeared at Ling Lan's villa. Lan Luofeng had seen him before. Ling Xiao had brought her to meet him once before. He was one of Ling Xiao's instructors, Mu Shui-qing.
"Instructor Mu..." When Lan Luofeng saw the other, her eyes reddened, almost shedding tears. Ever since Ling Xiao's sacrifice, Mu Shui-qing had been locked up in the Ling family mansion, not coming out for more than ten years. This time, because of Ling Lan's assassination attempt, he had finally come to be troubled.
"Where is Ling Lan now?" asked Mu Shui-qing anxiously.
Lan Luofeng quickly led Mu Shui-qing to Ling Lan's recovery pod and opened it. Mu Shui-qing carefully inspected Ling Lan's body, and his expression changed slightly. "There is still a trace of a Domain master's water element aura. Looks like the one who wanted to kill Lan brat was a Domain master."
Mu Shui-qing's expression could not help but reveal a trace of relief. "Although I don't know how he managed to escape from the hands of the other party, to be able to survive from the hands of a Domain master is already a miracle."
