At this moment, Ling Lan had no idea that this battle had allowed Little Four to discover what he was interested in, and that under Little Four's coaxing, she would embark on a path that was the complete opposite of the peaceful life she had originally set for herself, turning into a bloodbath...
Unaware of the more difficult battles that awaited her in the future, Ling Lan patiently waited for Ling Qin to finish off the last of the enemies. Ling Lan was very cautious. Before she could confirm her safety, she kept her aura in check, carefully hiding. Although she had learned some combat skills and had survived in the forest before, these skills were still not enough to deal with this experienced assassin before her.
Moreover, who knew if there were even stronger mecha aiming at her from further away, out of Little Four's reach, just waiting for her to walk right into the trap.
Ling Lan did not think of herself as a victorious player, able to easily dispatch all sorts of enemies who were crying and begging to give her experience points with just a shake of her body. She was also not one of those absolutely lovable female protagonists (it seemed like she could not be a female protagonist right now anyway) who would appear to save the damsel in distress or something like that whenever she was in trouble or in desperate straits...
Right then, Little Four suddenly let out a cry of surprise, and his slightly relaxed heart tensed up again. "What happened? Little Four? "
Little Four did not answer, only sending the image he had captured to Ling Lan.
On the screen, three teams of people from different factions suddenly appeared around the two mechas that were fleeing.
The first team was also the most ferocious team. They had the least number of people, only four mechas. However, the intimidating aura they exuded completely suppressed the other teams to the point that they didn't dare to show any signs of anger.
The external shapes of their mecha were very strange. They were obviously shorter than the other teams' mecha by a head, about 50 to 60 centimetres. However, their bodies and limbs were obviously much more muscular than the other mecha, especially the joints of their limbs, which were so thick that they lacked any sense of beauty. However, this kind of seemingly crude mecha was enough to make one's heart palpitate, full of pressure.
These mecha had obviously been reinforced everywhere. Whether it was in terms of the weight of the onboard weapons or in close combat, these mecha were superior to other standard humanoid mecha. One look and one could tell that they were powerful killing machines. The colours painted on the mecha's body also highlighted this point. They were not painted in the bright white of the Federation's standard, but in an extremely low-profile dark red, which only added to the aura of violence and bloodlust of these mecha.
It was obvious that these four mecha had rushed over after a battle. There were still traces of battle on the mecha — they were Team 413. Just as they had been searching for Ling Lan to no avail, Ling Qin's signal flare had led them to the right direction, and now they had finally caught up.
The other team consisted of six mecha. The mecha's outer appearance was similar to the Federation's standard mecha, but with some slight adjustments, the colour had changed from a single bright white to a blue and white dual colour. Anyone who understood the Federation's standard mecha would know that this type of mecha was a level higher than normal standard mecha, a captain-class mecha. It looked like this team was from the Federation military.
The other team was a small team of five. Their standard mecha were painted in the black and grey colour of their personal faction. The Federation had an agreement with the various aristocratic families, allowing them to have their own personal armed forces. However, the mecha could only be the most basic standard mecha, and their colours were all black and grey. The only way to tell which faction the mecha belonged to was the logo on the chest of the mecha.
The logo on the chest of this team of mecha was the Ling family's emblem — a blazing phoenix, dazzling and brilliant. This team was the Ling family's loyalists, the mecha team responsible for Ling Lan's safety.
The fire phoenix was one of the ancient Chinese totems. The Ling family believed themselves to be the descendants of the mythical fire phoenix, and so naturally chose the fire phoenix as their family emblem.
When Ling Lan found out how the family emblem came to be, she almost couldn't control herself and burst out laughing. Who would have thought that ten thousand years later, in an era with such advanced technology, this kind of obviously fake myth still couldn't be eradicated? It could only be said that humans always had a stubborn love for gods.
Of course, the name of the fire phoenix was only spread among the Huaxia Federation and its allies. In other neutral countries and hostile countries, it was often called the immortal bird. Ever since Ling Lan's father, Ling Xiao, had advanced to god-class operator, the immortal bird had been reduced to a dead bird — it was clear to see how much resentment the other party had.
The three teams met at almost the same time, on guard against each other. However, the Ling family's mecha team and the Federation military's team leader's mecha team were at each other's flanks, showing signs of working together to deal with the other team, the four-man team with the fierce mecha.
Ling Lan couldn't help but frown. She asked Little Four, "Little Four, can you pull them closer to the screen and steal their contact information?"
"I can pull them closer, but I can't steal their contact information. Your current spiritual power isn't enough for me to steal their contact information from a distance. " Little Four's words were full of resentment. The gaze that drifted over could only mean one thing — she was being looked down upon by Little Four.
Ever since Ling Lan found out that once her spiritual power exceeded her body's tolerance, her body would completely collapse, Ling Lan had been very wary of spiritual power. She hadn't forgotten that she had been killed just like that in her previous life. Thus, in this life, Ling Lan didn't dare to cultivate her spiritual power on her own, afraid that her impulsiveness would cause irreparable harm.
Thus, no matter how much Little Four egged her on, Ling Lan didn't use her credits to exchange for any of the spiritual power cultivation methods in the learning space to cultivate her spiritual power. However, even so, the six-year-old Ling Lan's spiritual power had already reached the peak of fourth-level. She only needed an opportunity to break through the barrier of fourth-level and enter fifth-level.
Of course, the reason Ling Lan's spiritual power was almost three levels higher than when she was born was not because her spiritual power talent was too strong or because her spiritual power grew too quickly. It was because Little Four had sealed away Ling Lan's spiritual power by two levels to begin with. Now, as Ling Lan's body grew stronger, Little Four was gradually releasing the sealed spiritual power.
Of course, the fact that the hidden spiritual problem could be solved so quickly and perfectly was all thanks to Ling Lan's persistent practice of the Qi exercises.
In fact, when Ling Lan was born, her spiritual power should have been at fourth-level. The test results that Lan Luofeng, Ling Qin, and the military had received were fake, tampered with by Little Four.
It was precisely because of this that the test device's alarm had gone off randomly during Ling Lan's test. This was because civilian test devices could only withstand spiritual power up to third-level. Of course, the test devices circulated within the military were an exception.
Why would civilian test devices be set this way? That was because without special equipment, a child with spiritual power above fourth-level would definitely die in the womb because the body couldn't withstand the pressure of spiritual power. It was impossible for a child with fourth-level spiritual power to be born naturally without the help of any high-tech equipment. Of course, the fact that Ling Lan had been able to thrive in Lan Luofeng's body was inseparable from Little Four's care. It was all because Little Four had sealed away the spiritual power that had overflowed.
However, success and failure were both due to the same person. Little Four had discovered that the test device had the ability to measure spiritual power, so he had released all of Ling Lan's spiritual power to see what level Ling Lan's spiritual power had reached. Unexpectedly, the test device had almost exploded. If not for Little Four's quick reflexes, who had immediately sealed Ling Lan's spiritual power back to second-level, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
In fact, Ling Lan's little body at birth could withstand third-level spiritual power, but it would weaken Ling Lan a little. However, for safety reasons, Little Four had still fixed her spiritual power at second-level.
Still, the six years hadn't been wasted. As time passed, Ling Lan's spiritual power had unwittingly grown to the peak of fourth-level. She believed that it wouldn't be long before her spiritual power would naturally rise to the jaw-dropping fifth-level.
If the military of the Federation found out that a six-year-old child had reached fifth-level, which even adults couldn't reach, they would definitely be shocked. This was definitely a genius among spiritual power geniuses.
