Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr However, such a simple task became extremely difficult for Chang Xinyuan. His hand speed had always been stuck at the highest level of intermediate hand speed. Mind you, if he could increase it by just one second, he would be judged to be able to advance to advanced mecha warrior. But it was precisely this one second that made Chang Xinyuan helpless.
When Ling Lan had found out that Chang Xinyuan would never be able to break through his hand speed no matter how hard he trained, she had known that Chang Xinyuan had hit a bottleneck in his talent. This was not something that could be replaced by training — a chance was needed to break through, and Ling Lan herself did not know where this chance was. When Chang Xinyuan had found out about this situation, he had been dealt a huge blow, becoming extremely dispirited for a time. Luckily, the other members of the team often looked for him to do things, using their busy modifications to make Chang Xinyuan forget about this blow. Only then was this able to save this genius mechanic of the team.
Chang Xinyuan's problem was just waiting for an opportunity. Although this opportunity seemed extremely elusive, at least there was still a chance.
In the team, Li Shiyu's mecha piloting talent was clearly not bad, but he had put all his focus on studying medicine. If not for the fact that Ling Lan had ordered every member of the team to practice mecha piloting for no less than two hours every day, Li Shiyu probably would not have bothered to practice mecha piloting at all.
Although Ling Lan felt that it was a pity that Li Shiyu was wasting his mecha piloting talent, everyone had their own goals. Ling Lan did not want to interfere too much with Li Shiyu's choice. Luckily, due to the two hours of daily practice, Li Shiyu's mecha piloting skills were not left too far behind. Although he was still an advanced mecha warrior, he had still managed to jump from the early stages to the intermediate stages. As long as Li Shiyu did not give up halfway, he would be able to enter the late stages of advanced mecha warrior in a few months' time. This allowed Ling Lan to relax considerably.
Having experienced the air invasion, Ling Lan knew very well that on the battlefield, anyone below special-class operator level was just cannon fodder. If she wanted the team members to survive as long as possible, they would need to all advance to special-class operator level before they graduated. Only then would they be safe.
Zhao Jun's mecha piloting ability was the strongest in the team aside from Ling Lan. Moreover, just like Zilong, he was a crazy mecha piloting fanatic. Moreover, having frequently participated in mecha battles with the Wuji Mecha Clan, he was also more experienced than Zilong and the others. This made Ling Lan feel very reassured about him. She believed that even if the other members of the team made a mistake and dropped the ball at a critical moment, Zhao Jun would definitely not.
Sometimes, trust didn't need a long time to develop. Zhao Jun's personality allowed Ling Lan to accept him very quickly. It could not be denied that Zhao Jun being Li Lanfeng's friend was also an important reason. All in all, Zhao Jun was seen by Ling Lan as someone who could be trusted. Of course, to truly integrate into the Lingtian Battle Clan, Zhao Jun still needed to continue working hard.
What Ling Lan was truly worried about was still the leopard, Li Lanfeng. Li Lanfeng's physical condition was actually very well-hidden. Other than Ling Lan, the other members of the team were not aware of this point. Even his good friend Zhao Jun only had a vague feeling about it, but was not too sure.
Since Ling Lan had decided to form a battle clan, she naturally would not allow any weaknesses to appear in the clan. She found an opportunity to meet Li Lanfeng for a deep discussion. Perhaps Li Lanfeng had some kind of blind trust in Ling Lan — when Ling Lan asked about his physical condition, Li Lanfeng did not hide anything, directly telling Ling Lan the truth about his condition.
The truth was just as Ling Lan had predicted. Li Lanfeng's condition was indeed because his spiritual power was too strong, and his body could not bear it. It was the same as Ling Lan in her previous life. Fortunately, there were genetic agents in this world, as well as all sorts of physical skills that could improve one's physical condition. Li Lanfeng did not have to be like Ling Lan in her previous life, dying young. But even so, his body had never truly improved, remaining in an extremely weak state.
Logically speaking, Li Lanfeng's physical condition did not allow him to walk the path of a mecha operator. When Ling Lan asked Li Lanfeng why he had chosen such an obviously suicidal course of action, Li Lanfeng was silent for a moment, as if he had something he found hard to say. In the end, he could only say bitterly that he wanted to become strong, to be able to truly control his own fate.
When Li Lanfeng said this, there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes, but more than that, there was determination. Perhaps, he had decided to walk this path because he did not have much confidence at all, but because he did not want to succumb to fate. Even if he had to pay the price of his life, he still wanted to take a gamble.
Seeing Li Lanfeng like this, Ling Lan could not help but think of herself. Although she had been forced to disguise herself as a man, all her subsequent actions and efforts had all been for the sake of truly controlling her own fate.
Ling Lan felt the same way. She thought of Li Lanfeng's identity. He was even worse than she was, only a collateral descendant of the Li family. Although she was not sure what kind of family the Li family was, she had read many novels in her previous life. She could imagine that for a collateral descendant to truly have the right to speak and be a free person, he must have strength that the family could not control. Otherwise, they could only become tools used by the family. At certain times, they might even become the family's sacrificial lambs.
Understanding in her heart, Ling Lan decided not to ask Li Lanfeng anymore. After all, that was Li Lanfeng's personal matter. Ling Lan did not want to touch the other's wound. However, regarding Li Lanfeng's courage to rather die than become strong and decide his own fate, Ling Lan admired him very much. The person that she approved of was indeed not a coward!
Since Li Lanfeng had this kind of courage, Ling Lan would spare no effort to help her good friend. She meticulously formulated a set of training plans for Li Lanfeng to strengthen his physique. She was also not stingy in teaching Li Lanfeng the Qi Nourishing Heart Sutra. However, the results were not as good as Ling Lan had imagined. Compared to Ling Lan, who had started training in her mother's womb, Li Lanfeng, who was already 20 years old, did not seem to have much of an effect when he started training.
However, Li Lanfeng was also very lucky. With the genetic agent modification provided by Little Four, the genetic agent was raised to 100% purity, allowing Li Lanfeng's frail body to absorb 100% of it. Li Lanfeng's body gradually improved, and the Qi Nourishing Heart Sutra he had been practicing all this time also began to show its effects. His physique slowly improved. This result made Li Lanfeng ecstatic. The chronic illness that had plagued him for 20 years could finally be cured.
After a year of hard work, although Li Lanfeng's physique still could not be compared to that of a strong mecha operator, he was no longer that sickly invalid who could only operate a mecha at high intensity for around 10 minutes. The amount of time Li Lanfeng could operate a mecha in an intense battle had increased from the original 10 minutes to 20 minutes. If his condition was better, he would be able to last even longer. And this amount of time was already enough to support a small-scale mecha battle.
This also meant that Li Lanfeng would no longer be the clan's weakness in the current various mecha battles. Ling Lan was very satisfied with this result.
Although the Lingtian Battle Clan had all sorts of problems, overall, the clan's situation was still developing in a good direction. Meanwhile, the Lingtian Mecha Clan, under the efforts of the various team leaders, was also gradually getting on the right track. Right at this moment, a letter of challenge suddenly descended upon the Lingtian Mecha Clan, breaking the peace of the entire military academy.
In Ling Lan's villa, all the regiment commanders and team leaders of the Lingtian Mecha Clan were gathered together. They were all here for one thing — how to deal with the letter of challenge from the Leiting Mecha Clan.
Yes, this letter of challenge came from the strongest faction in the military academy — the Leiting Mecha Clan!
The letter of challenge circulated by everyone was made of paper. Of course, the Leiting Mecha Clan had already submitted a request to the military mainframe for a real letter of challenge. As the regiment commander of the Lingtian Mecha Clan, Ling Lan had received a message from the mainframe at the very first moment. However, the Thunder King was extremely flashy — he had created an extra paper letter of challenge and personally sent someone to the second-year dormitory to hand it over to the nominal regiment commander, Wu Jiong.
Wu Jiong knew very well the other's motive for doing this. The Thunder King wanted to announce to the entire school that their Leiting Mecha Clan had chosen to take revenge for their defeat in the arena battle a year ago.
Wu Jiong understood the other's motive, but he still had to grit his teeth and accept it. The Lingtian Mecha Clan had just been established — if they avoided this battle, the Lingtian Mecha Clan would definitely become the laughing stock of the entire academy, much less rise to prominence.
After all the team leaders had read through the letter of challenge, it was once again returned to Wu Jiong's hands.
Wu Jiong once again looked at the large signature at the end of the letter of challenge and could no longer suppress his rage. He said hatefully, "We had originally thought that after the air invasion last year, the four major factions would need time to recuperate and would definitely not have the time to bother with us. That's why we wanted to take advantage of their unpreparedness to establish a mecha clan early and use this time to develop our faction. Unexpectedly, this Qiao Ting saw through our plans and issued this letter of challenge while we were still unsettled... he obviously wants to crush us in one fell swoop and completely disintegrate our mecha clan. How despicable! " That said, unable to suppress his rage, he slammed his right hand into the armrest of his chair. The force of the blow caused several cracks to appear on the armrest.
Standing not too far behind Ling Lan, Lin Zhong-qing's face twitched involuntarily at the sight. His heart ached as he calculated,'D * mmit, 3000 credits gone just like that... '
Wu Jiong's words also enraged Li Yingjie. He was an arrogant person to begin with, so without Wu Jiong's apprehension, he immediately scolded, "That bastard Qiao Ting. He knows we don't have an ace operator, so he didn't even try to avoid suspicion and personally came out to challenge us. For the sake of victory, he's completely shameless."
Sitting opposite Li Yingjie, Zilong smiled when he heard Li Yingjie's scolding. He looked as if he agreed with Li Yingjie's words, but only he knew that he was only laughing at Qiao Ting for being too smart for his own good. Qiao Ting thought that victory was already within his grasp, but he did not know that the opponent he was going to face was his boss, an ace operator. If it had been a year ago, perhaps the other would have had some chance of winning, but now, he did not think that Qiao Ting had any chance at all.
Li Yingjie's words resonated with everyone else. The other team leaders all began to scold Qiao Ting for being too shameless.
Only Gao Jinyun, who was sitting in the outer circle, did not join in the scolding. Instead, he was deep in thought with a serious expression on his face... right at this moment, Ling Lan's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, and she swept a cold gaze around the circle. Her cold and oppressive gaze caused the scolding in the hall to instantly stop.
Everyone present broke out in cold sweat. Boss Lan's aura was getting stronger and stronger by the day. Now, just one look from him was enough to make them feel threatened. Not only that, it was as if the temperature around them had been frozen.
