Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Lin Zhong-qing's words made Xie Yi purse his lips involuntarily. "I really don't understand you all. Three years of hard work in mecha piloting, to the point where you've forgotten to eat and sleep... are Boss Ling Lan's instructions really that important?"
When Xie Yi had joined the team, Ling Lan had already quit school and left. He was not aware of the lofty position Ling Lan held in the team, so he could not understand why the goals set by Ling Lan would make everyone in the team, including the team leader, work so hard. Most people would not have been able to endure that kind of obviously sadistic training, but Zilong and the others had persevered, and for three whole years at that. It was as if they would be devoured by the savage beasts chasing after them if they stopped.
Of course, Xie Yi's life in these three years had been miserable. His teammates were like tightly wound springs, training madly — the sheer volume of training made one's hair stand on end. Although no one forced him to train, when all his teammates were training so hard, he did not dare to not train under the immense pressure...
In short, in these three years, Xie Yi had felt like he was living in hell every day. Along the way, he had regretted his youth and ignorance, being foolishly tricked into joining the team... but Xie Yi did not want to be abandoned by his teammates, so he had persevered and achieved results he had not even dared to dream of. And after these three years, Xie Yi had fully integrated into the team. At this time, even if he was kicked out, he would cling onto Zilong's thigh and not leave.
Xie Yi's question made Lin Zhong-qing reminisce. His smile deepened, and then he nodded solemnly at Xie Yi. "That's right. Although our team's nominal leader is Zilong, our soul leader is Boss Lan." He reminded, "Xie Yi, you must remember this. Although we have all acknowledged you, as long as you are not acknowledged by our Boss Lan, you will never be a true member of our team."
Xie Yi's face fell at these words. "So, I still have to go through Boss Ling Lan?" After three years of hard work with his companions, Xie Yi had long regarded himself as a member of the team.
Luo Lang snorted coldly once more and said proudly, "Of course. Xie Yi, you need to be careful. Don't be so cheeky. Boss Lan is not as easy to fool as us. "Luo Lang did not forget to stomp on Xie Yi again.
Luo Lang Luo Lang's words is Boss Luo Lang's Boss Lan is Boss Lan's Boss Lan is Boss Lan.. tell me... "Xie Yi seemed to have forgotten that he had just sparred with Luo's Boss Lan... Luo.... Ling. Lan's Xie Yi... Boss..
"Boss Lan is very fair. Don't try to cheat …" Although Luo Lang's words were still cold, his tone was obviously gentler.
"No, definitely not. How could I be so shameless? I just want to know more about our Boss Ling Lan. Luo Lang, my good brother, your brother was wrong just now. Don't be angry. Now that your brother is in trouble, you need to help your brother... "Xie Yi was a shrewd person. Sensing that Luo Lang's Xie Yi had softened, he immediately took advantage of the situation. He put on a crying face and begged for mercy. His shamelessness made the other three look askance at him. They could not help but take a few steps back, pretending that they did not know this shameless person.
"Hmph, we're brothers now? What did you say about me just now? "Luo Lang's lips curled into a victorious smile. His proud demeanor made the other three move back a little. Fine! These two people were really a pair of weirdos. When they got into a fight, the two of them fought fiercely. There was definitely no so-called brotherly love between them. However, when the two of them were on good terms, they were so close that they could wear the same pants.
Sure enough, under Xie Yi's sugar-coated bullets, Luo Lang completely crumbled. He began to describe to Xie Yi what he thought of Ling Lan's personality and the way he handled matters. However, his words made the faces of the other three beside him twitch uncontrollably... was the Boss Lan that Luo Lang spoke of really their boss? Why was it that they had no way of contacting the boss in their minds?
The sun gradually rose. Just as the few of them were getting a little anxious from waiting, Zilong suddenly said, "They seem to be here..."
The few of them looked at Zilong in unison. Han Jijun raised an eyebrow and said, "Animal Instinct?" Zilong's innate talent, Animal Instinct, was very powerful. He would always be able to sense the situation around him before they did.
Zilong nodded, indicating that Han Jijun was right. It was his innate talent, Animal Instinct, that had sensed the vibrations in the air, allowing him to determine that a large convoy was approaching. And today, the 10th graders participating in the assessment were all in the academy. Today, only Boss Lan had come.
Ten minutes later, at the end of the sky, a large flying convoy could be seen slowly approaching them. Leading the way were two miniature mecha. On their chests, a fiery red phoenix was flying towards the sky. Because it was a family totem, the flying phoenix had a black circle around it.
The colour of the circle represented the rank of the family. Family ranks were divided into top-class, first class, second class... and so on up to seventh class. There were a total of eight ranks. Gold was the highest rank. Generally, only powerful families with ancient legacies were qualified to enjoy this colour. There were two top-class families in the Federation: the Li family and the Ye family.
There were four great families, represented by purple. They were the reclusive Guandong Muqi, the ancient martial arts Northern Tang, the divine armament Zhuge family, and the Hundred Elements Zhou family.
On the other hand, there were obviously more second-class clans, and their color was bright yellow. Third-class families were orange, fourth-class families were red, fifth-class families were blue, sixth-class families were green, and seventh-class families were black. Seventh-class families were the lowest ranked small families, covering almost the entire Federation. Generally, only families with private guard teams were of this category, and the colour they could use was black.
If the Ling family did not break away from the original Ling family, they could use the fourth-class family colour of red... Originally, the Ling family had not modified the totem of their mecha, still using the family totem with the red circle around it. Because the fire phoenix was red, and with the raging flames below, many people would overlook the red circle around it, thinking that it was a ball of fire. Thus, at first glance, many people would only see the totem of a fire phoenix being reborn from the flames...
However, the original totem ended when Ling Lan returned to the old Ling family mansion at the age of thirteen. Lan Luofeng, Ling Qin, and the others felt that it was time to hand over the Ling family to Ling Lan. Once the family head was officially changed, the totem would be changed according to the family head's status. Since the Ling family had already broken away from the Ling family, they no longer had the right to use the red that represented a fourth-class family. In addition, as the family head, Ling Lan had no military achievements or social status, so she could only use the lowest black circle.
Seeing this totem, Zilong was instantly excited. "It really is Boss!"
Following closely behind the mecha were three black hover cars, almost side by side. Behind the hover cars, another two miniature mecha followed closely behind. This formation was obviously to protect the black hover car in the middle. Zilong and the others' gazes all fell on the hover car. Zilong, in particular, was clenching his fists nervously. He could feel that his palms were slightly damp.
The flying convoy was not flying fast, even slow, as if they were waiting for something. The answer was quickly revealed. The roar of mecha engines suddenly rang out within the academy, and a squadron of mecha swiftly flew out from the academy to meet the flying convoy. If it were just hover cars, the mecha squadron would not have bothered, but with four additional miniature mecha, they did not dare to let their guard down.
As if receiving the mecha squadron's permission to fly in, the flying convoy began to accelerate towards the academy gates under the watchful eyes of the mecha squadron. Just as they were about to arrive, the four miniature mecha suddenly split into four different directions and hovered in the air, assuming defensive postures. Meanwhile, the hover car in the middle began to descend, slowly gliding towards the academy gates, finally coming to a stop less than 10 metres away from the gates.
Qi Long and the other four were just about to approach when a strong sense of danger surged through their hearts. The two miniature mecha near them raised their beam guns at almost the same time, aiming at them. As long as they took one more step forward, invisible beams of light would pour out.
"Lingyu, they are my friends!" A cool voice rang out from within the hover car, causing the two miniature mecha to immediately relax and retract their beam guns.
"It really is Boss!" That familiar voice made Zilong and the others jump with joy. Sure enough, their boss had returned.
The door of the hover car finally opened, and a youth dressed in a red uniform walked out, his head bowed. His black military boots clanged against the solid ground. He stood up straight and lifted his head to look in the direction of Zilong and the others.
Zilong and the others only felt a powerful gaze sweep over them, causing them to involuntarily puff out their chests and suck in their stomachs, standing up straight.
Then, they saw the other's cold, handsome face pull up into a faint smile. "Comrades, I'm back!"
"Boss..." Zilong and the others rushed over excitedly. Zilong was the fastest, being the first to hug Ling Lan tightly. His eyes were red, and his voice was choked with emotion as he said, "Boss, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
For the past three years, he had trained hard, all for the day when he could truly stand by Ling Lan's side and become a brother who would take care of each other wholeheartedly, sharing life and death with each other. And today, he had waited.
Ling Lan patted Zilong lightly on the back and said, "Yes, I know. That's why I'm here."
Zilong suppressed the excitement in his heart, reluctantly letting go of Ling Lan. Before he could say anything, Luo Lang pushed him aside. Luo Lang hugged Ling Lan and rubbed himself against Ling Lan's body fiercely, as if seeking comfort. "Boss Lan, I missed you so much."
This action of Luo Lang's made Ling Lan speechless. Who was this bastard? Since when did the team accept girls? She slowly pushed the clingy Luo Lang away, and after taking a closer look, she actually cried out, "Luo Lang? How did you grow up to look like this? "
This brat Luo Lang actually looked more like a girl than she did... was there any justice in this world? The cruel reality dealt a heavy blow to Ling Lan's fragile heart. She roared in her heart, "Hells, I'm the girl, okay?"
