"Peak of Covert Power!" Qiao Ting's eyes flashed. As early as a year ago, he had already known the level of Ling Lan's physical skills. Back then, perhaps he had not been confident that he could defeat him, but now, that was no longer the case.
"I told you, you will never win!" A cold smile appeared on Ling Lan's lips. As soon as she finished speaking, she unleashed her aura, and a powerful and chilling aura instantly filled the entire control room. Qiao Ting felt the temperature of the entire control room drop rapidly, and an inexorable chill crept into his heart. He felt as if his limbs were about to be frozen solid.
At this moment, he saw that a thin layer of ice had appeared on his fist that had blocked Ling Lan's palm. Furthermore, this layer of ice was slowly spreading towards his arm …
Seeing this, Qiao Ting frowned deeply. Without hesitation, he released his aura in an attempt to stop the layer of ice on his fist from spreading. However, he soon discovered that the moment his aura touched the layer of ice, it was like a drop of water falling into the sea, disappearing without the slightest ripple.
Why didn't it work? A thought suddenly flashed through Qiao Ting's mind. His expression changed drastically as he exclaimed in disbelief, "Domain? This is impossible! "
It was no wonder that Qiao Ting could not believe it. It should be known that becoming a Domain expert was not something that could be achieved just by a sudden epiphany. No matter how prodigious a prodigy was, they would still need to go through countless years of accumulation of actual battle experience and go through countless trials and tribulations. Only then would they be able to comprehend the mysteries of Domain under a sliver of chance and coincidence and enter the ranks of the top experts. In the tens of thousands of years of Chinese history, there had never been a case of someone under the age of 30 entering the Domain level. No matter how talented and monstrous Ling Lan was, without the accumulation of real experience, it was impossible for her to enter that enviable realm at the young age of 17. Even Qiao Ting himself, who had just reached the peak of Qi-Jin, did not dare to say that he would be able to reach that level in ten years' time …
At this moment, Qiao Ting did not know that although Ling Lan appeared to be only 17 years old, because of the learning space, she had already experienced many hardships inside. She had gone through countless massacres, and the experience she had accumulated was definitely no less than the experience of a normal person over several decades.
Seeing Qiao Ting's shocked expression, a trace of pity appeared in Ling Lan's eyes. She said calmly, "Anything that is impossible, when it comes to me, it is possible..."
Qiao Ting Qiao Ting Jueyelids At these words, he understood what she meant. his conjecture had become reality reality, an indescribable, indescribable, Qiao Ting, he was struck dumb.
However, right after that, Ling Lan's next sentence woke him up. "You should feel lucky because you're the first person to know my domain!"
"Domain, activate Domain!" Ling Lan had done this on purpose. Domain activation could be done silently, but Ling Lan had intentionally used words to attack Qiao Ting. When she had first met Qiao Ting, Qiao Ting's restraint and low profile had caused Ling Lan to be wary.
Qiao Ting was a genius — Ling Lan knew very well that if she did not have the learning space, the dedicated guidance of the space's instructors, and the support of her cheat, her current strength would definitely not have reached Qiao Ting's current level. Such a talented, capable, and hardworking prodigy had unfortunately become her opponent. Now, he had also learned to endure, to endure hardships in order to survive. Ling Lan could not help but feel that this was not a good thing. If the other was allowed to grow like this, when he came looking for her again in the future, it would definitely be a tragedy.
Ling Lan knew very well that if she wanted to live peacefully, she had to nip any danger in the bud. That was why Ling Lan had suddenly launched an attack, wanting to completely defeat Qiao Ting. She wanted to make Qiao Ting develop inner demons so that he would no longer have the courage to fight her!
Following Ling Lan's words, Qiao Ting felt as if he had been sealed in ice. He even had the illusion that his blood had turned into ice!
"No, I can't be frozen. I have to move, I have to move." Qiao Ting was a proud person — how could he bow down so easily? He screamed in his heart, and relying on his strong willpower, he forced himself to pull back his arm …
Looking at the fierce-looking Qiao Ting who was still unwilling to submit, a trace of approval flashed through Ling Lan's eyes. Although Qiao Ting was overly domineering and overbearing, he still had the integrity of a Huaxia soldier in his bones … this kind of Qiao Ting was worthy of Ling Lan's admiration. Her initial plan to destroy the other instantly changed. She retracted the power of her Domain slightly, allowing Qiao Ting to successfully pull his fist out of her palm.
"Wah …" Qiao Ting successfully pulled back his fist. Although Ling Lan had retracted her Domain power, the difference in strength between a Domain and Qi-Jin was too great. In order to resist the restraining power of the Domain, Qiao Ting had still overdrawn his own strength, causing him to suffer internal injuries from the backlash. A mouthful of blood sprayed out uncontrollably from his mouth.
Seeing that Qiao Ting had successfully broken free of her control with his own strength, Ling Lan quickly withdrew her Domain and looked at the other coldly. Since she had decided to let the other off, Ling Lan did not continue to press her advantage.
Without the restriction of the Domain, Qiao Ting decisively retreated several steps. Perhaps the restraining power had disappeared too suddenly, so Qiao Ting was not prepared for it. His retreating steps appeared to be somewhat unsteady. After retreating four or five steps, Qiao Ting, who had already regained his footing, pressed his right hand lightly against his chest. He forced himself to endure the intense pain coming from his body. His eyes dimmed, and there was even a trace of despair in them …
Could it be that there really were monsters in this world? Reaching Domain level at 17 years old … could he really defeat such a peerless prodigy? Doubt flashed through his mind, but very quickly, Qiao Ting regained his composure. He remembered that this was not the era of the ancient Huaxia where physical skills reigned supreme, but an era where mecha reigned supreme. He was the only cadet in the military academy who had advanced to ace operator status in his fourth year, and was not inferior to the legendary Huaxia figure Ling Xiao. Even if the other's physical skills talent was monstrous, in terms of mecha, he, Qiao Ting, was still the strongest!
Qiao Ting's mind settled, and the light rekindled in his eyes. Then, he remembered that Ling Lan was already a special-class operator — there was no guarantee that the other would not successfully advance to ace operator in two years' time. At this thought, Qiao Ting became even more wary of Ling Lan, and the gaze he looked at the other with became dark and unreadable.
Even if Ling Lan did not fully understand Qiao Ting's psychological changes, she could still grasp 70% to 80% of it. It was not that Ling Lan was good at deductions and guesses, but Little Four, who had been monitoring Qiao Ting from all angles, did not miss any change in Qiao Ting's gaze. In addition, Little Four had countless experts behind him (with Instructor Number Five as the main force), so he very quickly analysed Qiao Ting's true thoughts, and Little Four then relayed this analysis to his boss. Of course, Little Four very shamelessly took all the credit for himself, not revealing that there were still experts behind him.
Seeing Qiao Ting regain his confidence, Ling Lan sighed internally, not knowing whether to rejoice or worry. Ling Lan admired Qiao Ting's tenacity. She thought for a moment and then said, "In future, if you're ready, you can come find me at any time."
Although Ling Lan's expression and words were still infinitely cold, Qiao Ting could still sense that Ling Lan was no longer as forceful and forceful as she had been at the start. This made Qiao Ting feel a myriad of emotions. Who would have thought that he, Qiao Ting, would also have a time when he would be forced by someone else? Was this retribution for his earlier coercion?
Qiao Ting laughed bitterly. He pulled himself together and looked at the Leiting member in the corner of the room, saying, "Let's go!"
That member hurriedly rushed over, his expression one of relief at having survived a disaster. When Ling Lan had activated her domain just now, although he had not been within the domain, he had still felt a wave of destructive energy and had almost thought that he would die here. Now, hearing that his regiment commander wanted to take him away, he rushed after them, not daring to linger any longer. His speed was as if there was a demon chasing after him — in the blink of an eye, he had run out of the central control room.
Before Qiao Ting left, he glanced once more at Ling Lan, his gaze extremely complicated … after calming down, he already understood that Ling Lan had been merciful just now.
Under Qiao Ting's lead, the Leiting members quickly left the headquarters. Meanwhile, the Lingtian members, who had long been prepared, rushed into the headquarters of the number one faction as soon as the Leiting members left. The nameplate hanging high above the entrance had also changed from Leiting to Lingtian!
"Qiao Ting …" Li Lanfeng watched Qiao Ting's departing figure and frowned slightly. He had arrived a little late. When he had just arrived at the headquarters, he had already seen Qiao Ting leaving with his people. He had always been wary of Qiao Ting, so he paid close attention to Qiao Ting's every move. It could be said that he understood the other very well.
Although he had only glanced at Qiao Ting, the sensitive Li Lanfeng could feel that the other was somewhat different now. How should he put it? In the past, Qiao Ting had been very arrogant and domineering, thinking that he was the best in the world. His entire being shone with a sharp edge that no one dared to look directly at. This kind of person — although a portion of those who worshipped the strong followed him, some people would also dislike or even detest him. Even though Qiao Ting's strength had always been very strong, towering over everyone else, Li Lanfeng did not think that Qiao Ting was truly invincible. It was not entirely impossible to defeat the other. But just now, although Qiao Ting's aura was still strong and domineering, it was not as sharp and irritating as before. It seemed that Qiao Ting had learned to endure …
With some worry, Li Lanfeng went to the resting room of the mecha regiment commander. However, he found that Ling Lan was standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the scenery of the military academy below.
"Rabbit, what are you looking at?" When it was just the two of them, Li Lanfeng would affectionately call Ling Lan 'rabbit'. This made him feel that his relationship with Ling Lan was closer. It could not be denied that Li Lanfeng had his own thoughts. He did not want to become an ordinary member of Ling Lan's battle clan, so he was constantly trying to make his unique presence felt in front of Ling Lan.
Ling Lan did not answer, only looking down coldly. Li Lanfeng walked over and followed Ling Lan's line of sight. He saw that it was actually Thunder King Qiao Ting. Although he had led his people away from the headquarters of the number one faction, he was now at a hover car stall several hundred metres away from the headquarters, facing off against several people.
"Those people are the deputy regiment commanders of the Leiting Mecha Clan." Li Lanfeng thought that Ling Lan did not know the situation, so he took the initiative to explain.
Actually, Ling Lan had long known the identities of those people. Little Four had reported the details of these people to her at the first moment she had seen them.
