After saying goodbye to Qiao Ting, Zhao Jun hurriedly stepped onto the dedicated conveyor belt backstage. The conveyor belt sent Zhao Jun directly to the exit. The moment Zhao Jun stepped outside, he saw Li Lanfeng waiting for him with a relaxed expression.
"Lanfeng, why is the captain looking for me? Why did he ask me to come out from backstage? I still want to finish watching Lin Xiao and Jiang Shaoyu's match from there. "Before Li Lanfeng could speak, Zhao Jun had already asked all the questions he had when he had seen the message.
A trace of a smile appeared on Li Lanfeng's lips and he said, "The captain wants you to sit beside him and watch the match together. He might have something to say to you." As for why Ling Lan had asked Zhao Jun to go over, Li Lanfeng had actually guessed a little. For Zhao Jun, this was a good opportunity to improve his strength.
Li Lanfeng was well aware of Ling Lan's control ability — how could one ace explain everything? Additionally, he also had an imperial instructor (Li Lanfeng still did not know Ling Lan's true identity). If Zhao Jun could get some guidance from Ling Lan, he would definitely be able to take many detours.
Li Lanfeng's words made Zhao Jun's eyes light up. Familiar with Li Lanfeng, he could guess from his expression that something good would definitely happen on this trip.
He happily followed Li Lanfeng to the exclusive viewing area of the First Men's Military Academy. Seeing that Zhao Jun had arrived, Ling Lan indicated for Zhao Jun to sit beside her.
The moment Zhao Jun sat down, he saw many of the surrounding members looking at him enviously. He was confused, not knowing what was going on. Right then, he heard the captain beside him say, "Senior Zhao, please look carefully at the field!"
This voice made Zhao Jun's heart skip a beat, and he could vaguely feel cold sweat break out on his back. Of course, Zhao Jun was also guilty. Just now, he had been distracted and had not been looking at the fight in the field. He had not expected to be caught by the sharp-eyed captain.
Zhao Jun quickly turned his gaze to the field, indicating that he was already focused on the mecha fight between Lin Xiao and Jiang Shaoyu. Only when he felt his captain's gaze shift away did he discreetly wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead, sighing to himself, 'No wonder Zilong and the others said that Boss Lan has a powerful aura, able to make them shiver with just one cold glance.' What was laughable was that when he had first heard it, he had actually thought nothing of it, thinking that Zilong and the others had been exaggerating. Now, it looked like Zilong and the others were right. Their captain's aura and gaze were indeed powerful. Their captain had probably just been giving him some face in the past, not showing it forcefully... at this thought, Zhao Jun's cheeks instantly streamed with tears. Was it too late for him to back out now?
Ling Lan did not know that in order to remind Zhao Jun to focus on the match, she had specially turned her aura into a voice to display it, giving Zhao Jun this kind of experience. This was also the result of Ling Lan's increasing proficiency in using her aura. Compared to the aura that had leaked out in the past, her current aura was much more restrained. Once it was displayed, the suppressive force was several times stronger than before. Even Zhao Jun, who had not felt much pressure at the start, could now feel Ling Lan's powerful aura.
Once he was fully engaged, Zhao Jun's attention was drawn to the mecha fight between Lin Xiao and Jiang Shaoyu.
Lin Xiao's ace mecha was a wing-type shapeshifting mecha. It was an improved mecha based on a comprehensive fixed-type ace mecha. However, it was not like a fixed-type mecha which had an absolute balance between long-range and close-range attacks. Instead, the mecha's combat ability was already leaning towards long-range attacks. However, unlike mecha which specialized in long-range attacks, close combat was its shortcoming. This mecha's close-range combat ability was undoubtedly much stronger, but it was still somewhat weaker than a true comprehensive mecha.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shaoyu's mecha exceeded everyone's expectations. He was operating a close-range mecha which had the highest fatality rate. Although it was not strong at long-range, it was the overlord of close-range combat.
Two completely different mecha, thus resulting in the current stalemate on the field. Lin Xiao was extremely cautious. Seeing that the opponent was operating a close-range mecha, he had pulled away from the start. His mecha held a long-range beam gun in each hand, using a torrent of firepower to suppress Jiang Shaoyu below. Jiang Shaoyu could not take a single step forward, freezing his advantage.
This situation made the unprepared Jiang Shaoyu extremely vexed. The opportunity had passed in the blink of an eye. Already in a passive position, it was already very difficult for him to turn the situation around. And if he wanted to obtain victory, he would need to get close to the opponent. Otherwise, with the opponent's long-range firepower suppression, he would probably be in a situation where he would be beaten up until the end of the match. Although he had dodged beautifully so far, and Lin Xiao's beam attacks had not injured him, the opponent had also completed his setup. The perfect circle of beam attacks had suppressed him to the point where he could not move.
As time passed, perhaps because Jiang Shaoyu had become impatient, he made a control error and his mecha's dodging movements slowed for a moment. This caused a certain part of his mecha's thigh to be hit by two consecutive beam shots … If Lin Xiao had attacked two or three more times, that mecha's thigh would definitely have been blasted off. The opponent's points would definitely have been reduced by more than half, and victory would have been close at hand.
Seeing this opportunity, the audience's spirits were instantly roused and they began to feel nervous. They looked towards Lin Xiao from the First Co-ed Military Academy, secretly guessing — would the opponent be able to grasp this opportunity?
Lin Xiao also saw this opportunity. A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately suppressed his restless heart, continuing to maintain the frequency of his beam attacks. The beams he fired formed a perfect circle, enveloping Jiang Shaoyu's mecha entirely and not focusing on that part.
The opportunity passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Shaoyu's mecha once again returned to its original dodging speed. Many people instantly felt that it was a pity. Right then, Ling Lan suddenly opened her mouth to ask, "Senior Zhao, if you encountered this opportunity, what would you do?"
Hearing Ling Lan's question, the members of the Lingtian Clan all perked up their ears to listen attentively to Zhao Jun's answer. When Zhao Jun had still been on the field, they had heard Boss Lan ask Li Lanfeng to find Zhao Jun. This was to study the fighting styles of the two participants in this match to prepare for tomorrow's match.
They naturally did not want to let go of this learning opportunity. After all, this was a battle between two ace operators. As long as Boss Lan and the others could study a little, they would benefit immensely.
Zhao Jun thought about it seriously for a moment before replying, "I will be like Lin Xiao and choose to give up!"
At these words, Ling Lan's lips quirked up slightly. Zhao Jun's answer satisfied her greatly. It was just as Leopard had said — although Zhao Jun looked like a brute with a careless and impulsive style, he was actually an extremely meticulous person who would not easily make judgements.
"That weakness appeared a little abruptly. As long as one is calm, they will not fall for it." Ling Lan voiced her judgment, and many of those who had been tricked by Jiang Shaoyu suddenly realised that the weakness had been bait.
"But we can't rule out the possibility of it being a trap within a trap..." Zhao Jun did not agree with Ling Lan's judgment. The sudden appearance of the weakness was indeed very suspicious, but what if there really was a mistake? What if the other had decided not to hide it out of fear of being discovered by the opponent? He shook his head and continued, "There's no way to be sure. We need to observe for a while longer."
"Yes, whether it's real or fake, it's better to be safe. We still need to be patient. Looking at the situation on the field, Lin Xiao has the advantage to begin with. Giving up this chance will not put Lin Xiao at a disadvantage, so he is right to be patient and not rush in blindly. Once he falls for the trap, his advantage will be gone. Jiang Shaoyu can gamble, but he cannot. " Ling Lan did not deny Zhao Jun's judgment. This left the Lingtian members confused. Even now, some of them still did not know whether that chance was real or fake.
Zilong was currently focused on the field. There was no confusion on his face, because his Animal Instinct had not shown any strong desire to attack. This meant that that chance was not reliable.
Li Lanfeng and Han Jijun both had calm expressions on their faces. As strategists, they had always been very suspicious. Before they were 100% sure, they would definitely not make a judgment easily. Just like Lin Xiao, they would choose to ignore it and let this advantage continue, waiting for the next better opportunity.
Luo Lang, on the other hand, was the opposite of them. His expression kept changing. One moment he was calm, the next he was agitated, the next he was impatient, and the next he was deep in thought. The members of Ling Lan's battle team all knew that this fellow had probably started using his innate talent, switching between his various personalities at will to make a comprehensive judgment of the situation on the field. As long as Luo Lang's innate talent was used well, not only would his battle prowess increase exponentially during battle, but he could also use the different perspectives of each personality to analyze and analyze the situation of a battle without any mistakes. He would become very full.
The others more or less also had their own thoughts. A real battle between ace operators was not so easy to see. Those who had the chance to see it would definitely gain something.
Jiang Shaoyu saw that his opening was useless and could not help but curse in his cockpit. After venting his anger, Jiang Shaoyu calmed down. He knew that his opening had been too obvious. As long as one was cautious, they would not make a move so easily. But this Lin Xiao was a cautious person...
Jiang Shaoyu's eyes turned and an idea came to him. Initially, his right hand was holding a beam saber, while his left hand was holding a beam handgun that close-combat mecha often carried. The range of the beam handgun of close-combat mecha was far from the range of the beam handgun of long-range mecha. This also caused Jiang Shaoyu to be completely suppressed in the beam battle between him and Lin Xiao due to the issue of range.
Jiang Shaoyu knew that he could not continue to be passive. He suddenly turned sideways and the beam handgun in his left hand fired wildly. This time, he was not looking for accuracy, but speed. A series of beams poured out. Although some of them flew to some unknown place, most of them melted away with Lin Xiao's beams. This gave Jiang Shaoyu a chance to catch his breath, and the beam saber in his right hand flew out.
The beam saber sliced through the air, flying towards Lin Xiao at an incredible speed.
Lin Xiao's mecha was originally geared towards long-range mecha. The speed of his mecha was among the fastest among ace mecha. He easily maneuvered his mecha to dodge the beam saber, the attack frequency of his two hands not interrupted.
The beam saber brushed past Lin Xiao's mecha and finally landed heavily on the ground, sending up a cloud of dust. While everyone was stunned by Jiang Shaoyu's move, many of the spectating students from the First Men's Military Academy suddenly sat up straight, their eyes shining. This included Ling Lan and Zhao Jun. They all knew that Jiang Shaoyu's counterattack was probably coming.
Sure enough, Jiang Shaoyu made a new move. This move caused an uproar among the audience. It turned out that after Jiang Shaoyu had abandoned his beam saber, he had retrieved a spare beam handgun from the deck on his back. The counterattack he had chosen was actually his weakness — long-range attacks!
