Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie led the team out of the cafeteria quietly. Zilong then approached Ling Lan and said, "Boss, what should we do next?"
With his strength, he had heard Ling Lan's words about controlling the entire ship very clearly. Of course, this was also because Ling Lan had no intention of hiding it from him. Zilong was instantly aroused by this decision of Ling Lan's, his emotions soaring.
This was his boss, always daring to do what others did not dare to do! Zilong's heart was filled with pride!
"We need you to hold the fort here. Help us stall for time as much as possible, and draw the attention of the ship's crew." Ling Lan instructed in a low voice. Zilong's task was very important, because in her plan, it would be best if Zilong could fish out the captain who had been sitting in the captain's room all this time.
"Wait a moment, let Luo Lang help Peng Jiayan first! You wait and see, and wait for my final orders! " Ling Lan's expression was very serious. Whether their operation went smoothly or not was closely related to Zilong's situation here — she could only hope that everything would go smoothly.
"Got it, Boss!" replied Zilong cautiously.
"Xie Yi!"
"Here, Boss!" replied Xie Yi quickly.
"While Luo Lang is drawing everyone's attention, you immediately have the students of Class A and B in the cafeteria return to the hall. Remember, your movements must be stealthy. If you can't do it, you'd rather not move than act rashly!"
Their operation was not about quantity, but about precision. Besides, Ling Lan did not want too many students in the cafeteria to leave at once — that would make the ship's crew suspicious.
"Understood, Boss," replied Xie Yi somewhat nervously. Ling Lan's request was not simple — his operation would definitely be very difficult, but Xie Yi did not want to disappoint Ling Lan.
After giving instructions, Ling Lan led Lin Zhong-qing and Han Jijun out of the dining hall and into the main hall.
Right now, quite a number of Central Academy students had already gathered in the hall. Almost all of them were from Class-A and Class-B. It looked like while she had been arranging things for Zilong and the others, Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie had also been working actively.
Seeing Ling Lan appear, the spirits of these students were suddenly lifted, and their eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Just now, when Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie had greeted them, they had told them that Boss Lan was going to bring them to play something big today.
Everyone was wondering what this big move was. Many people were guessing whether it would be like the grand armed melee, an open declaration of war against the crew here. Thinking of this possibility, everyone's blood began to boil. Ever since the grand armed melee, they had not encountered such a hot-blooded scene. They missed it immensely. Besides, they did not have a good impression of the captain of this ship and those crew members. It could even be said that they loathed them. Thus, they were more than willing to fight it out with them.
Right then, Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie each took a corner, and there were quite a number of people gathered around them. Seeing Ling Lan arrive, they nodded discreetly, indicating that Ling Lan and the others were ready.
However, Ling Lan did not say anything or indicate that she was going to take action. Instead, as she walked back to her seat and sat down, she gestured for everyone to sit down as well. "Let's watch the show first!"
Just as everyone sat down, baffled, they heard a burst of cheers from the dining hall, as well as the angry shouts of the crew members. A loyal student of the Central Academy ran over quickly, and with a face full of surprise, he shouted, "Luo Lang has made his move!"
Luo Lang's move represented the decision of the uncrowned king of the Central Scout Academy, Ling Lan. He would not lower his head to the other, just like in the grand armed melee back then. He would rather fight bravely, even if he would be utterly defeated, than lower his head.
Everyone looked excitedly at Ling Lan in her seat, waiting for her command.
"Wait a little longer!" said Ling Lan calmly as she glanced at the communicator in her hand.
Right then, several Class-A students came out of the dining hall one after another. Seeing the situation in the hall, a trace of surprise flashed through their eyes, but they still remembered Xie Yi's reminder. They walked casually up to Ling Lan's side, and found an empty sofa to sit down with a natural air about them. It was as if they didn't know each other at all, or perhaps they didn't even know each other, treating each other coldly.
Right then, Ling Lan looked relaxed, but she was actually nervously gathering information about the situation of the entire ship with Little Four. Little Four was very helpful. He had already successfully infiltrated the mainframe, and was using the mainframe to monitor the situation of the entire ship. After that, he had marked out the danger zones and the places where the crew members were gathered, making it easier for Ling Lan to carry out her next move.
At this time, on the ship, almost everyone's attention was focused on the dining hall. Even the captain in the captain's cabin had his attention focused on the dining hall, using only a tiny fraction of his attention to observe the situation of the students in the hall from time to time.
However, at this time, the video feed the captain was watching was already an image created by Little Four. There were only a few people left in the hall, and they were scattered about the hall, not gathered together like they were in real life.
Meanwhile, the people who had been reduced had been placed in the dining hall by Little Four. This flow of people in and out, one increasing and one decreasing, had successfully concealed the truth of the hall.
Very quickly, several hundred people had gathered around Ling Lan, and Ling Lan had finally gotten Little Four to send out the message, asking Zilong to make a move!
In the dining hall, the initial stalemate between the two sides was broken by Luo Lang's move. The crew members flew into a rage out of humiliation, wanting to rush up and beat him up, but who was Luo Lang? He was one of the top three students in Class-A (excluding Ling Lan). Although there was still a gap in strength between him and Zilong, he was not that much weaker than Wu Jiong. If not for the fact that Wu Jiong's combat skills had somewhat countered him, he would not have been forced to become one of the top three students in the academy.
By the time Luo Lang had beaten back the third batch of crew members who had tried to teach him a lesson, Luo Lang was already feeling rather tired. The crew members were all very strong — if not for the fact that they had only wanted to restrain him and not hurt him, he might not have been able to beat back the first three batches so easily.
"Tch! To actually be defeated by a little girl, you all are really embarrassing! " Following this voice, a youth appeared at the entrance to the dining hall. He had a fashionable hairstyle, a flirtatious expression, and a slightly devilish gaze lingering on Luo Lang, making Luo Lang feel extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing the youth appear, the crew members shouted in unison, "Captain!" They had not expected that this seemingly youngest crew member would actually be their captain. Luo Lang and Zilong, who was holding the line, frowned at the same time, their hearts growing wary.
"Tsk tsk tsk, who would have thought there would be such a fine specimen? Why don't you warm my bed tonight?" said the youth greedily, as if he had discovered something good.
"Shut up, you bastard!" The other's insulting words made Luo Lang's face flush red, and he shouted angrily.
This angry look only made him even more alluring! This beautiful scene stunned the crew members present. If not for their strong mental fortitude, they might really have been bewitched by Luo Lang.
A glint flashed through the youth's eyes, but he continued to tease, "You're telling me to shut up? Then are you inviting me to make a move? " That said, he darted forward, his finger reaching out towards Luo Lang's chin. It could be called an attack, but it could also be called an attempt to take advantage of him.
The other's action made Luo Lang even angrier. He immediately blocked the other's finger, and at the same time, his right leg kicked out viciously at the other.
"Bam!" The other reacted quickly, similarly blocking with a kick. The two of them retreated two steps at the same time, looking like they were evenly matched. The students raised their arms and cheered loudly for Luo Lang's brilliant counterattack. Only Zilong frowned again. He knew that the other's strength was probably slightly higher — Luo Lang was in for a tough fight now.
Luo Lang also understood this very well. The anger in his heart instantly dissipated, and his entire being became calm and serious. This ability to quickly adjust his emotions made the youth's eyes light up, secretly amazed. Who would have thought that this young man who resembled a girl before him was actually so good at controlling his emotions? Luo Lang had been furious just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, he had become calm and composed. This kind of smooth control made the youth extremely envious. It should be known that fluctuating emotions would affect the final performance of one's strength. One might become very strong, but more often than not, they would become weak.
"This brat!" Zilong's frown eased. He had not expected Luo Lang to be so daring, actually activating his innate talent. Mind you, Luo Lang's innate talent was very dangerous — it was very likely that he would activate a dark personality. It was an unstable innate talent, so he usually would not activate it.
Boss Lan's mission had probably put a lot of pressure on Luo Lang, and now an opponent stronger than him had appeared. Unwilling to admit defeat, Luo Lang had decided to take the risk and activate his innate talent, preparing to gamble.
Without a doubt, Luo Lang's luck today was extremely good. What he had activated was actually the extremely calm personality, which was extremely suited for combat, causing Luo Lang's combat ability to skyrocket. Even Zilong was not confident that he could defeat this personality of Luo Lang's.
Luo Lang and the young team leader once again exchanged blows. This time, Luo Lang was still forced back two steps, but the young team leader was forced back four steps. This made the young team leader's expression change. From the exchange of blows just now, he could clearly feel that the other's strength had suddenly increased. The youth who had been slightly weaker than him had suddenly become slightly stronger, putting him at a disadvantage.
"What kind of monster is this?!" The young team leader could not help but mutter to himself. Mind you, he had always been hailed as a prodigy, which was why he had been able to enter the great perfection stage of Refinement at such a young age. He was only one step away from entering the great perfection stage of Refinement, just one step away from entering the Qi-Jin stage. However, the other, who had originally been at the peak of Refinement, had suddenly entered the half-step Qi-Jin stage... yes, an existence even closer to Qi-Jin than the great perfection stage of Refinement. He had thought that it was a legendary intermediate stage, but unexpectedly, it really existed in reality, and he had even encountered it.
In the captain's quarters, the captain saw the young team leader and Luo Lang's duel, and his eyes lit up. "Good, this brat looks like a sissy, but his explosive power is extraordinarily terrifying. Little Rascal has met his match this time."
In the time it took for the captain to say this, Luo Lang and the young team leader had exchanged a few more blows. The team leader was now finding it rather strenuous to deal with Luo Lang's attacks. Everyone could see that the one at a disadvantage was the young team leader. This fact caused the expressions of the crew members present to change slightly...
Right at this moment, Zilong received a message from Ling Lan saying, "Attack!"
Without even thinking, Zilong shot out like an arrow, swinging his right fist at the young team leader who was busy blocking Luo Lang's attacks.
