Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Li Lanfeng's eyesight was very good. Seeing the indignant looks on those people's faces, Li Lanfeng could not help but laugh. "Looks like the Thunder King hasn't been having a good time recently. His subordinates are all starting to have some ideas."
"Yes!" Ling Lan's lips quirked up slightly. Seeing that her opponent was in trouble, she was undoubtedly in a good mood, so she gave Li Lanfeng a response.
"This is also the result of him being too domineering in the past, leaving no room for negotiation. So, once he loses, all the dissatisfaction he had suppressed in the past will finally erupt." Li Lanfeng was somewhat gloating. With a half-smile, he glanced at Ling Lan and said, "I had originally thought that it would take a long time to see the Thunder King's misfortune. Who knew that my wish would come true so quickly?"
Hearing Li Lanfeng's words, Ling Lan turned to look at him coldly. She seemed to understand something and said, "Leopard, you hate the Thunder King?"
Li Lanfeng's gaze sharpened, and he was silent for several seconds before sighing softly. "Yes, I hate him. This kind of prodigy, whether in terms of talent or physique, is so stunning that it makes others jealous. No matter how hard I work, I can't catch up to the other..." At this point, Li Lanfeng became somewhat absent-minded. What he had said was only the superficial reason. Li Lanfeng did not know how to explain the real reason. That seemingly absurd reason was something that even he himself could not believe...
Hearing the unwillingness in Li Lanfeng's tone, Ling Lan thought of how Li Lanfeng's body had just been out of danger and instantly understood. She thought back to her previous life — whenever she saw others with healthy bodies, she could not help but feel jealous. She would even blame the heavens and blame others, hating why others could have healthy bodies while she could only lie on a sickbed every day, fighting for her life against the god of death.
Perhaps because they were in the same boat, or perhaps because she could empathize with him, Ling Lan felt that she could understand Li Lanfeng's complicated thoughts. Thus, she patted Li Lanfeng's shoulder comfortingly and said firmly, "I believe that in a few years' time, you will definitely not be weaker than the other. You will even be stronger than him."
Ling Lan's actions and the seriousness and determination in her words made Li Lanfeng's heart warm up. This must be the confidant mentioned in the books. She would believe in him without any reason and would stand by his side unwaveringly … Li Lanfeng felt his entire body warming up. The coldness that spread from Ling Lan's body also made Li Lanfeng feel comfortable.
Ling Lan glanced at Li Lanfeng suspiciously. She didn't know why the other party's ears suddenly turned red. She thought about what she said just now. Could it be that the other party was excited by her encouragement?
It seemed that the leopard liked to hear good words of encouragement. He had to remember this. Perhaps it could be used as a means to spur the leopard in the future. Ling Lan stroked her chin as she thought.
Li Lanfeng was still very good at controlling his emotions. Not long after, he calmed down. He saw Ling Lan staring at the Thunder King and rubbing his chin thoughtfully, and a thought struck him. Thinking of the Thunder King's change, he said with understanding, "Rabbit, you've been staring at the Thunder King. Have you also noticed his change?"
Thunder King? Ling Lan was just thinking about how to torture Li Lanfeng for a period of time so that he could improve his physique as much as possible under her pressure when she suddenly heard Li Lanfeng's question. Her heart skipped a beat … cough cough, always thinking about torturing a friend. No matter how she looked at it, it was a little inhumane!
Ling Lan was afraid that Li Lanfeng would discover her sinister thoughts, so she quickly reined in her thoughts and answered Li Lanfeng's question, "Yes, compared to three days ago, he is indeed a little different."
Since the topic had shifted to the Thunder King, Ling Lan began to seriously think about some of the things that had happened during her fight with the Thunder King. A thought that had never occurred to her before suddenly flashed through her mind. Ling Lan's eyes flashed and she asked Li Lanfeng seriously, "Leopard, first get rid of your subjective thoughts. Objectively speaking, what is Qiao Ting like?"
Li Lanfeng frowned at those words. He did not really want to answer this question, but since his rabbit had asked, no matter how much he disliked it, he would still take it seriously.
"Qiao Ting used to be very domineering and domineering, doing things his own way. He was somewhat lacking in overall planning ability, pursuing the idea that the strong were respected and that strength determined everything. Ever since he became the regiment commander of Leiting, the authority structure of Leiting has basically been distributed according to strength. It should be said that this is another form of fairness... but an excellent clan is not purely based on strength. " At this point, Li Lanfeng paused for a moment before continuing, "In terms of individual strength, Leiting is unquestionably the number one faction in the military academy. But in terms of group battle, whether it is the number two faction, Tianji, or the number three faction, Wuji, which I used to be in, the battle strength of their teams is slightly better than Leiting's. Unfortunately... "
"Unfortunately, Tianji and Wuji both lack a Thunder King!" said Ling Lan.
"Yes, we did not lose to the Leiting Mecha Clan. We lost to the Thunder King Qiao Ting." Li Lanfeng nodded with a wry smile. Teamwork was indeed very important, but before absolute strength, even the strongest of the clans could only bow their heads. Qiao Ting, who was forever one level above them, was a barrier that all the factions could not overcome. "That's why he's called the Thunder King, and not because he's a member of Leiting."
"No matter which clan the Thunder King is in, he will always be called a king. If he's not the Thunder King, he will still be called the Sky King, or the Earth King." Ling Lan acknowledged Qiao Ting's strength.
"Yes, he is such a brilliant prodigy, worthy of admiration. Unfortunately, his luck is not good." Li Lanfeng smiled and looked intently at Ling Lan, unable to hide the pride in his heart. "Of all people, he just had to meet you. He may be an unparalleled prodigy that only appears once in a hundred years, but I believe that you are an unparalleled aberrant that only appears once in ten thousand years."
Perhaps Li Lanfeng's gaze was too intense, but Ling Lan actually felt a trace of shame. After all, her strength could be said to have been obtained through cheating, while Qiao Ting's was the real deal. To be worshipped like this by a good friend who did not know the truth... wasn't that a little too shameless?
Zilong and the others actually also worshipped Ling Lan very much. However, because they had met the strange auntie level Ling Lan when they were very young, Ling Lan felt that she was so much older than these little brats — if she could not handle them, that would really be embarrassing. Thus, the worship of Zilong and the others made Ling Lan feel at ease. Meanwhile, Li Lanfeng had joined halfway through, and his performance was extremely mature and steady, giving Ling Lan the feeling that he was of the same age as her. Thus, Li Lanfeng's worship made Ling Lan feel a little overwhelmed.
Li Lanfeng did not notice Ling Lan's shyness. This was all thanks to Ling Lan's eternally unchanging ice-block face — there was almost no change in her expression. He retracted his intense gaze and continued to say, "However, although that Thunder King's strength is outstanding, he has quite a few weaknesses. His personality is aloof and arrogant, and he is unable to cooperate with others. In addition, he acts on his own and implements high-pressure policies, causing him to lose the support of quite a number of normal members. The past few years were smooth sailing, and his conflicts with his subordinates were not particularly prominent... but this time, with this failure, the conflicts that were originally hidden have completely erupted..."
At this point, Li Lanfeng's expression instantly turned serious. "Just now, I saw Qiao Ting. I feel that this failure is not entirely a bad thing for him. He seems to have learned to endure..."
"Your senses are very sharp..." Ling Lan indicated for Li Lanfeng to look outside the window. Li Lanfeng saw that Qiao Ting, who had been provoked by his subordinates, did not fly into a rage, nor did he flick his sleeves and leave. Instead, he actually listened with a cold expression. If not for the deep frown on his face, he would have thought that there was no conflict between them. It looked like Qiao Ting had indeed learned to endure.
Seeing this, Li Lanfeng's brow furrowed. "As expected, Qiao Ting has grown again. I wonder how far he will grow. With such an opponent, I'm afraid it will be somewhat troublesome."
Hearing this, Ling Lan's lips quirked up slightly and she said, "Isn't this very interesting? Appropriate pressure can help us improve. Qiao Ting is a good opponent. " The Thunder King's strength might allow Zilong and the others to grow faster, including the leopard before her — Li Lanfeng.
"However, before Qiao Ting becomes a troublesome opponent for us, there might be a possibility of working together." After saying this, Ling Lan stepped away from the window and returned to her own desk.
Working together? Li Lanfeng quickly calculated in his mind. Sensing the deeper meaning in Ling Lan's words, he said, "You're saying that Qiao Ting will leave Leiting and might enter Lingtian?"
Li Lanfeng's mood suddenly took a turn for the worse. A strong sense of danger welled up in his heart — could it be that he was about to have another opponent? One Zilong was already pressuring him, and now there was another Qiao Ting who was even stronger than Zilong. When would he have the right to stand by his rabbit's side and truly become a partner who could fight side by side with Ling Lan, a partner who could rely on each other?
Ling Lan glanced over coldly, causing Li Lanfeng to shudder and instantly shatter his wild thoughts. "How is that possible? I only said that there was a possibility of working together. Have you forgotten? Three months later, the All-Federation Military Academy Grand Mecha Tournament will begin. This time, I don't want to continue being number two. "
The All-Federation Federation Grand Mecha Tournament was held once every three years. Due to the rules and traditions of the First Men's Military Academy, the teams participating in the tournament each time were all members of the top faction of the year. This also led to the First Men's Military Academy gathering the most outstanding prodigies of the entire Federation. However, in the Grand Mecha Tournament, due to this reason, the First Men's Military Academy was on par with the other military academies which gathered their most outstanding students. According to the information that Ling Lan had gathered, in the Grand Mecha Tournament, the First Men's Military Academy had already been ranked number two for seven consecutive years.
"You're saying... to break the existing factions and choose the strongest students of each specialization from our academy to fight?" Ling Lan's words made Li Lanfeng's eyes light up. If Ling Lan's move was really successful, this would definitely be a great undertaking for the First Men's Military Academy.
"Yes. Since we're representing the military academy, why can only the members of one faction be allowed to fight? This is unfair to the outstanding students of the other factions. They have the right to shine in the Grand Mecha Tournament. "
"Originally, the upper management of the military academy wanted Qiao Ting to take first place in the Grand Mecha Tournament. If they knew of your plan, they would definitely agree wholeheartedly," said Li Lanfeng with a smile.
"I'm not doing this for them. I'm doing this to let the entire Federation know that the strongest cadets are from our First Men's Military Academy." A trace of ambition appeared in Ling Lan's eyes. Those rules that she did not like, she would personally destroy them!
