Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Sitting side by side with Ling Lan, Li Lanfeng stared at the majestic giant mecha in the night sky. He was completely stunned, unable to react for a long while. Reflexively, he grabbed Ling Lan's arm and stammered, "Ling … Ling … Ling Xiao … General!"
Ling Lan had seen her father appear before her like a god at the most critical moment to save everyone. She was equally moved and proud. Look, this was her, Ling Lan's father! In every child's heart, their father should be the strongest. Even Ling Lan, who had lived two lives, could not escape this kind of girly mentality.
However, when Li Lanfeng's large hand grabbed her arm, Ling Lan's excitement and pride disappeared. She frowned slightly and glanced at the large hand on her arm. Speaking of which, she really did not like people touching her body...
Ling Lan's cold gaze swept viciously over Li Lanfeng, implicitly warning him, hoping that Li Lanfeng would move his detestable large hand away.
Perhaps Li Lanfeng was too excited, for his observant self was actually incomparably slow at this moment. He did not notice the intense dissatisfaction in Ling Lan's eyes, still holding Ling Lan's arm and saying excitedly, "That's General Ling Xiao we're talking about! He's one of the twelve god-class operators of our Federation, and is also publicly acknowledged as the strongest god-class operator in the future. He's the mecha operator I admire the most... who would have thought that General Ling Xiao would actually appear here to save us? I must be dreaming, right? Rabbit, rabbit, I'm so excited..."
Li Lanfeng could only repeat the phrase 'rabbit, I'm so excited' over and over again. This kind of idiotic behaviour made Ling Lan extremely speechless. She glanced once more at the large hand on her arm, and then at Li Lanfeng's dreamy expression, his seemingly idiotic behaviour... fine, seeing how much the other worshipped her father, she would tolerate it!
Just as Ling Lan was bitterly accepting Li Lanfeng's incessant prattle in her mecha about General Ling Xiao, outside, the members of Ling Lan's team and the Leiting members were all staring excitedly at the imposing mecha hanging in the air. Some of them were so excited that they made control errors, losing control of their mecha's balance and falling straight down.
However, these were all trivial matters. Everyone knew that the arrival of the god-class operator General Ling Xiao meant that all of them were safe, except for that imperial mecha which had been swaggering around and trying to toy with them at the start.
At this moment, the imperial operator was staring at Ling Xiao's mecha with a panicked expression. He knew that he was in danger. An imperial mecha was indeed much stronger than an ace mecha, able to slaughter ace mecha, but this was only against ace mecha. Against a god-class mecha, his outcome would be the same as if he had faced an ace mecha against an ace mecha — there was no way for him to put up any resistance.
When he saw Ling Xiao's mecha once again raise the beam gun in its hands coldly, his expression changed drastically. He pressed down on the loudspeaker and shouted, "Immortal Bird Ling Xiao, please don't attack. As long as you let me go, I will immediately withdraw from this battle."
"Let you go? When you were dealing with these cadets just now, did you ever think of letting them go? " Ling Xiao replied coldly. Even though Ling Xiao's reply had sounded extremely calm, Ling Lan could still hear the towering rage hidden within. That gentle father of hers who did not seem to know how to get angry could actually get angry?
Ling Lan was very smart. She very quickly understood why Ling Xiao was so angry — it was because of her! Everyone had their own reverse scale, and one of Ling Xiao's reverse scales was her, Ling Lan.
What a terrifying daughter-con! As Ling Lan sighed, a warm current flowed through her heart. Her face, which had been cold and expressionless all this while, suddenly curved up, and this curve grew wider and wider...
Li Lanfeng's attention had initially been focused on Ling Xiao when he suddenly felt the cold air around him turn warm. He turned his head in surprise and saw Ling Lan's rare warm smile, which struck him right in the heart.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! " Li Lanfeng's heart thumped violently several times. He instinctively pressed down on his heart. Could it be that his illness had acted up again? Ever since seven years ago, when he had listened to the rabbit's advice and trained hard on his foundations, his body had slowly recovered. This sort of heart-bursting pain had also slowly lessened, and after four years, it had not acted up again. But today, why did he feel the same way he did back then?
Could it be that this was the aftereffects of exhausting his physical strength? Li Lanfeng thought for a long time and could only come up with this possibility. He quickly closed his eyes, not daring to look again. He told himself to calm down and not get too agitated. Li Lanfeng still remembered that every time his illness acted up, he would rely on self-torture to get rid of this pain that came from the depths of his heart. He did not want the rabbit to see him like this. Although he knew very well that the rabbit would not look down on him because of this, he just did not want to appear so weak in front of the rabbit...
Very soon, his heart stopped pounding and slowly calmed down. Only when his emotions had completely calmed down did Li Lanfeng open his eyes. His forehead was already covered in sweat. That attack just now had left Li Lanfeng feeling a lingering fear.
At this time, Ling Lan had already returned to normal. When Li Lanfeng's abnormality had first appeared, Ling Lan had sensed it. She had immediately taken out the recovery agent, but seeing that Li Lanfeng seemed to be under control, Ling Lan had decided to wait and see. No matter how good the agent was, taking too much of it would lead to a certain level of resistance. Ling Lan did not want her companions to suffer the painful consequences of being unable to receive treatment due to drug resistance at a critical moment due to excessive use of the agent.
When she saw Li Lanfeng slowly recover, Ling Lan also relaxed. However, she once again confirmed Li Lanfeng's weak physical constitution. She decided that after the battle on planet Newline ended, the first thing she would do was to improve Li Lanfeng's physical constitution. She did not want to have a member in her team with Sister Lin's body.
Over here, Li Lanfeng had almost gotten into trouble. Meanwhile, outside, the imperial mecha had heard Ling Xiao's interrogation and was instantly rendered speechless. Ling Xiao had never intended to let this executioner who had almost harmed his daughter go. He had no interest in hearing any explanation from the other at all. The moment his interrogation ended, he pulled the trigger on the beam gun in his hand without hesitation. A powerful beam of light blue light shot out from the muzzle, shooting straight at the imperial operator.
Seeing this, the imperial operator was startled. He quickly operated his mecha to dodge, at the same time turning on his communicator to contact his companions. He wanted the other to come to his rescue, but when his mecha's mainframe replied that he could not contact the other, he knew that things were not looking good.
Ling Xiao's attack was successfully dodged by the imperial operator. Ling Xiao was not surprised by this. This shot had not been intended to kill the other, but to force the other away from his precious daughter's mecha.
Although there were two ace trainee mecha below, Ling Xiao, who knew his daughter well, naturally knew that his daughter was definitely piloting that close-range ace mecha. Moreover, that mecha just so happened to be within the attack range of the imperial mecha. Even as confident as he was, when faced with this kind of situation, Ling Xiao's first choice was to rescue his daughter from the trap. Killing the opponent would wait until the next step.
At this thought, Ling Xiao could not help but shake his head inwardly. Based on his original intentions, he had hoped that his precious daughter would choose a safer long-range mecha. Coupled with the spiritual control of the Divine Command sect, it would definitely become a terrifying artillery fortress mecha. Its powerful firepower would ensure that other mecha would not have a chance to get close to it, ensuring its survival on the battlefield. Although this choice would have no chance of becoming a god-class operator, Ling Xiao had never thought of letting Ling Lan become a god-class operator. This was not only because Ling Lan was a girl and her physical constitution almost eliminated this possibility, but also because Ling Xiao knew that advancing to god-class operator level required too much suffering. He could not bear to let his daughter experience it.
Ling Xiao's shot had indeed achieved his goal. The imperial operator did not know that the most powerful god-class operator in the Federation would place such importance on the ace mecha below. If he had known about Ling Lan's identity, he would definitely have taken Ling Lan hostage even at the risk of serious injury.
However, other than Ling Lan's team and Ling Xiao's team, almost no one else knew about this. This also allowed Ling Lan to tide over a crisis.
The imperial operator's retreat increased the distance between him and Ling Lan. Ling Xiao's mecha disappeared once more to reappear in front of Ling Lan's mecha at the same time. Ling Lan's large body completely covered Ling Lan's mecha. Only at this moment did Ling Xiao finally relax.
"You can still move, right?!" asked Ling Xiao suddenly.
"Of course, it's fine even if we have to fight another battle, provided that there's no monster like an imperial mecha." Ling Lan understood that her father was asking about her, so she answered directly.
Ling Lan's reply was clearly devoid of any reverence. This caused Li Lanfeng, who was seated in the same mecha, to be stunned once more. He stared blankly at Ling Lan, wondering why Ling Lan had answered General Ling Xiao with this kind of attitude.
"Monster? An imperial mecha is worthy of such a term? You think too highly of him. " Unexpectedly, the usually gentle Ling Xiao would also spout such sharp and mocking words. "I'll show you that in front of a god-class mecha, all mecha are ants."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Xiao suddenly disappeared from Ling Lan's sight, reappearing right beside the imperial mecha in the blink of an eye. This was the Divine Wind system of a god-class mecha — it had truly reached the theoretical level of instant movement.
Belief's god-class mecha was a comprehensive mecha. In other words, it was a legendary mecha with perfect long-range and close-range combat capabilities. Compared to other god-class mecha which were more focused on close-range combat, Belief's mecha was more balanced and complete in all aspects. This was also why Belief's mecha was hailed as the strongest god-class mecha.
Thus, not only was Ling Xiao's long-range attack capabilities very strong, his close-range combat capabilities were equally strong. With a flash of cold light, one of the imperial mecha's arms was sliced off to fall to the ground, creating a shallow crater.
"Hm? Pretty good evasion skills. " Ling Xiao was somewhat surprised. Initially, he had wanted to aim his sword straight at the cockpit. He knew full well that with his speed, a normal imperial mecha would never be able to dodge this move. Unexpectedly, the opponent's evasion speed had actually reached the theoretical limit of an imperial mecha.
