Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr In Li Lanfeng's villa, three more uninvited guests had arrived, their expressions extremely grave. It was Zhao Jun, Han Yu, and Wei Ji.
Seated in the living room, Li Lanfeng was flipping through video materials when he saw their sudden visit. He looked at them in confusion and asked, "Why do the three of you look so pale? What happened? "
Zhao Jun said with a dark expression, "According to the latest news we received, the Thunder King has come out of seclusion."
Li Lanfeng's finger swiping across the screen trembled, and then he continued to swipe without batting an eyelid. "He advanced?"
Han Yu smiled coldly and said, "Yes, he has become the first genius mecha operator in our academy to advance to ace operator in his fourth year. Everyone is saying that he will be the next General Ling Xiao!"
"This is a good thing. When it comes time for us to join the divisions, it won't be like this year, where the divisions don't place much importance on us, only sending some small fries to deal with us," replied Li Lanfeng nonchalantly.
"Li Lanfeng, stop looking." Han Yu blocked the screen in Li Lanfeng's hand with one hand. He stared at Li Lanfeng and said, "Don't you know what this means?"
Li Lanfeng regretfully set aside the miniature screen in his hand and raised his head to reply, "I know. The Thunder King's advancement to ace operator means that he has truly become the number one in the military academy. We have no way of competing with him at all."
"Not only that, I'm worried that he will take this opportunity to dominate the military academy, perhaps even unifying all the factions in the academy to become the true king of the military academy," said Wei Ji with a frown. Wei Ji said with a frown. His initially calm demeanor had already disappeared — it could be seen that the Thunder King's advancement to ace operator had been a huge blow to him.
"He won't. He has just advanced to ace operator, so his realm is still unstable. The Thunder King won't make a move against us so quickly," said Li Lanfeng after some thought.
"One day, his realm will stabilize. All of us know that the Thunder King has wanted to be the true king of the military academy for a very long time," said Han Yu worriedly.
"King, huh...?" Li Lanfeng's words were a little unfocused. A chill seemed to envelop the three of them, but in the next second, it was gone. They looked at Li Lanfeng in surprise. Li Lanfeng was still smiling. The warm aura around him didn't change at all. It was as though what they felt just now was just an illusion.
"If we want to stop him from becoming the king of the military academies, we have to become stronger." Li Lanfeng did not seem to notice the other three's bewilderment, directly voicing his thoughts.
"Although we've all advanced to special-class mecha master, other than Zhao Jun, Wei Ji and I are still special-class mecha rookies. It's already not easy for us to stabilize our current level, much less advance. Only Zhao Jun has any hope of advancing to ace operator." Han Yu looked expectantly at the muscular and mighty Zhao Jun, hoping that he would be able to get some good news from him.
Zhao Jun shook his head. "I've never felt the possibility of advancing to ace operator. In the short term, I can only consolidate my abilities as a special-class mecha operator."
Zhao Jun's words disappointed Han Yu and Wei Ji. An ace operator with a stable level could easily match up to five or six special-class mecha operators. Even if their Wuji Mecha Clan sent out a special-class mecha battle team together, they would still be no match for the Thunder King... besides, the Thunder King still had powerful teammates by his side — they were also special-class mecha operators.
"I didn't say becoming stronger meant advancing to ace operator. That's something that can only be chanced upon and not sought." Seeing this, Li Lanfeng knew that they had misunderstood his meaning, so he quickly explained himself.
"If we can't advance to ace operator, how can we become stronger?" Han Yu's face instantly darkened. He hated this look of Li Lanfeng's as if everything was under his control, as if indirectly proving their stupidity. However, they just couldn't do without Li Lanfeng's advice at the moment. Every time he went to look for Li Lanfeng, Han Yu always felt like his own face was being slapped by Li Lanfeng.
"Since we can't compete individually, we can only use numbers to win." Li Lanfeng did not seem to notice Han Yu's displeasure, continuing to calmly state his suggestion.
"Numbers? Leiting is the number one faction in our military academy. They have the most members among all the factions. What numbers can we use to win? "Hearing this, Han Yu's face darkened even further. Was this Li Lanfeng toying with him?
"Leiting is indeed the faction with the most members among all the factions in our military academy. None of our factions can match up to them, but what if both of our factions work together? Or perhaps three or four factions working together? " Li Lanfeng felt that they should no longer fight individually, but rather work together to fight against Leiting.
Li Lanfeng's words made Han Yu and Wei Ji's eyes light up. Han Yu was tempted, but he could not help but hesitate. "I wonder if Tianji and Doha would be willing to work together." If the three factions worked together, even if the Thunder King advanced to ace operator, he would not be able to take them down.
"If you want Doha to work with us, I have a way. Right now, Tianji is at its lowest point. If the two of you challenge us at the same time, I believe our ranking will rise. When we become the number two faction and have Doha on our side, then we can work with the other factions. Even without Tianji, it will not affect our fight against Leiting. " Li Lanfeng very conscientiously told Han Yu his plan. As for whether Wuji could rise to the next level, that would depend on whether Han Yu, as the leader, had the courage to do so.
Han Yu's expression changed rapidly. He exchanged a glance with Wei Ji, exchanging a few thoughts. Li Lanfeng's suggestion struck a deep itch in Han Yu's heart. He did not dare to fight against Leiting, but he had always coveted the position of number two faction in Tianji. And now, with Li Lanfeng's reminder, he found that this was indeed a great opportunity to snatch that position... he was tempted!
Finally, Han Yu stood up abruptly and slammed his fist down heavily on the coffee table in front of him. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Let's do it."
Having found a direction, Han Yu and Wei Ji hurriedly bid farewell to Li Lanfeng. Meanwhile, Zhao Jun was prepared to stay a little longer. According to him, Han Yu and Wei Ji were busy planning and arranging this matter, and he hated this the most, so there was no need to look for him. As long as they finished discussing and told him the time and location of the operation, it would be fine.
Han Yu and Wei Ji did not make things difficult for him. They knew that Zhao Jun was a brawny brute with a simple mind. Meanwhile, they indeed needed to go back and have a good discussion with the higher-ups of the Wuji Mecha Clan on how to make use of this opportunity to join forces with Doha to overthrow Tianji and take the position of number two faction in one go. Meanwhile, as foreign collaborators, Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng were indeed not suited to attend a meeting of the higher-ups of Wuji.
Zhao Jun sent the two of them out of Li Lanfeng's villa and returned to the living room. He looked at Li Lanfeng seriously for several seconds before asking, "Are you really that kind?" Towards Li Lanfeng, who had always been black-bellied and secretly liked to set people up, Zhao Jun did not believe that he would be so selfless this time to give such a good suggestion.
Li Lanfeng stretched lazily and threw a reproachful look at him. "I've always been very kind, okay!" He would never admit that he was a black-bellied fellow.
"Always?" Zhao Jun grimaced speechlessly. How fake were those words?
"Alright, I do have some ulterior motives. I want to know if the Thunder King would be so angry that he would vomit blood if he still couldn't become the true king of the military academy after advancing to ace operator?" Li Lanfeng also felt that his words were unreliable, so he smiled and said bluntly.
"Lanfeng, do you really hate the Thunder King?" After a moment's silence, Zhao Jun suddenly asked.
Li Lanfeng's smile froze and he turned to look at Zhao Jun in surprise. "Zhao Jun, why would you think that?"
"Actually, whether the Thunder King unifies the factions of the military academy or not has nothing to do with us. Today, we can be Wuji's collaborators, and tomorrow, we can be different. We have no conflict with the Thunder King at all, but every time you plot, you set up obstacles on the Thunder King's path to becoming king... I can't help but be suspicious. "
Zhao Jun's words were very thorough. Like Li Lanfeng, he came from a third-rate planet. It could be said that the possibility of enrolling into the First Men's Military Academy was definitely one in a billion. Thus, other than them, no one else from their respective planets had managed to enroll. This also made them feel no sense of belonging to the other factions. Many times, Zhao Jun felt that Li Lanfeng was just toying with the world. He used extremely clever methods to sow discord between the various factions, just like just now, hoping that they would start fighting.
Zhao Jun's words made Li Lanfeng laugh once more. "I don't have any objections towards the Thunder King at all. But just think about it. The Thunder King, who had everything under his control, is now beset with difficulties on his path to supremacy because of us small fry from a third-rate planet, perhaps even unable to succeed. Isn't that very interesting?"
"You..." Zhao Jun looked at Li Lanfeng in surprise. He had not expected Li Lanfeng to have such thoughts.
"I just want to prove that even if we come from a third-rate planet, we can still cause a storm of blood in this military academy..." 'Even if I am still weak right now, I can still stop that person from becoming king...' The smiling Li Lanfeng cleverly hid his true thoughts deep within his heart. Some secrets were not meant to be told.
Hearing this, Zhao Jun could only shake his head helplessly. "Alright, your words are very persuasive. I also want to see if that Thunder King can overcome all difficulties and ascend to the top of the military academy." Watching a show was what he loved to do the most.
Despite the smile on Li Lanfeng's face, there was only endless coldness in his eyes, piercing through the void.
"I still have a question. Since you want to join forces with the other factions to oppose the Thunder King, why did you ask Wuji to challenge Tianji? This is clearly not suitable." Zhao Jun very quickly asked another question. He was not as simple-minded as Han Yu and the others thought him to be. He would understand things better than Han Yu and the others.
"Compared to the Thunder King, you hate Tianji more." Zhao Jun, who knew Li Lanfeng too well, said decisively, "So, even if the timing was not right, you still encouraged Han Yu and the others to make a move against Tianji. Why is that?"
"Did you not hear about the tragedy that happened a few days ago?" Hearing Zhao Jun's question, Li Lanfeng's smile finally disappeared.
"The incident of Shi Mingyi being killed?" Zhao Jun immediately thought of this.
"Since Tianji has such a despicable and shameless vice regiment commander, it is time for him to pay the price," Li Lanfeng said coldly. Right now, there was no trace of warmth left about him — it was clear to see how much he hated this sort of thing...
