"Your boss, Huo Zhenyu, has already made a promise with me that we'll settle this grudge in the 23rd Division three years later." Ling Lan calmly told him about her agreement with Huo Zhenyu.
Nie Feng-ming nodded. "Boss's intentions are my intentions. Three years later, I'll wait for you in the 23rd Division." Nie Feng-ming looked deeply at Ling Lan and continued, "However, I still have to say thank you."
Ling Lan was stunned. She had made him lose a year of precious time. Why was Nie Feng-ming thanking her?
"If it wasn't for you, Boss Huo wouldn't have changed his mind and applied for the 23rd Division. Our battle team might have been torn apart. Now, our battle team has all been admitted into the 23rd Division. We can continue to fight together with our brothers. I have to thank you again for your ruthlessness back then. So, thank you!" Nie Feng-ming said seriously. After saying this, he walked past Ling Lan without looking back and boarded the ship of the 23rd Division.
Nie Feng-ming's words made Ling Lan's heart tremble. To be honest, what Nie Feng-ming did last year made Ling Lan despise him. She thought that this person was too weak. Now, it seemed that she was short-sighted.
No one was perfect. Everyone had their own likes and dislikes. Towards people they hated, even if they were ruthless, they wouldn't think that they were in the wrong. Towards people they loved, they would think that no matter what they did, it was right … Since that was the case, what right did she have to judge the other party's right and wrong?
She took a deep breath and raised her head to look at the endless starry sky above the spaceport. Her heart was empty. It was as if the thin layer of fog that had always shrouded her heart had disappeared. A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She raised her right hand and gently pressed it against her chest, feeling the strong rhythm of her heartbeat.
There was no such thing as right or wrong. There was only worth and unworth! So, I will follow my heart in the future. I will do whatever my heart wants to do.
"What Dao is this?" Instructor Number One's cold voice suddenly sounded in her mind.
"It's the Dao that I naturally want to walk. It's also the Dao that I claim to be domineering." Ling Lan's eyes lit up. She no longer had the confusion she had when she first established her Dao.
"What is its foundation?"
"Heart. It doesn't matter if it's the Dao of Sage, the Dao of Monarchs, the Dao of Slaughter, the Dao of Ghosts …. All Daos can't compare to one's heart, and one's willingness. Ling Lan said resolutely, "There's no need to insist. There's no need to hold back. There's no need to be sad. There's no need to be reluctant. I want it, so I'll do it. It's as simple as that."
As soon as Ling Lan thought about it, she heard a cracking sound. The barrier that had been imprisoning her body and heart was broken. The aura that had been forcefully suppressed by Ling Xiao finally merged with Ling Lan's body obediently …
Beside Ling Lan, Zilong and the others only felt an aura flash past the place where Ling Lan was standing. Then, they could no longer sense Ling Lan's presence. This unexpected scene made them very nervous. They spread out and surrounded Ling Lan to protect her.
The strange movements of Zilong and the others also alerted the surrounding members of the Lingtian Mecha Clan. Seeing this, they all formed a human wall, surrounding Ling Lan layer by layer.
On the 23rd Division's warship, the commanding officer saw this scene on the monitor. His eyes narrowed slightly. "Did his physical skills break through? Even I can't see his true level … and his reputation in the military academy is very high, making hundreds of people move to protect him. Interesting. I must remember this person. Hopefully, the next time I come to welcome him, he will be there. "
After sending off the fifth-year seniors, Ling Lan and the others returned to their intense studies. During this period of time, Ling Lan increased the devilish training for Zilong and the others. After Zilong, Luo Lang was the second person to successfully advance to special-class operator.
Not only that, the other battle teams of the Lingtian Mecha Clan also came with good news. Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie advanced to special-class operator almost at the same time. These two people saw that every member of Ling Lan's team was training crazily and were deeply touched. Thus, they brought their own battle teams and shamelessly followed behind Ling Lan's team to train. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't chase them away.
Wu Jiong was a smart person. Ling Lan's team was able to advance to special-class so quickly. There must be a secret to their training. He would definitely benefit from training with them.
Although Li Yingjie wasn't as smart as Wu Jiong, Li Yingjie knew that following Wu Jiong was definitely the right choice. Since Wu Jiong was so thick-skinned as to follow Ling Lan's team to train, he of course had to follow as well.
It had to be said that these two people's idea was very correct. After Ling Lan tortured the members of her team, she saw their longing gazes (Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie cried out in sorrow. Those weren't longing gazes, those were frightened gazes, okay?) and kindly let them go down. She ruthlessly tortured them until they almost didn't have the strength to crawl out of the training room.
This experience of going through thick and thin together made Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie's relationship improve rapidly. The two of them who had originally disliked each other helped each other out of the training room in the end.
After being tortured like this for more than two months, Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie advanced to special-class operator one after the other. They were almost a year ahead of the time they had originally expected to take to advance to special-class operator. Having tasted this wonderful feeling, the two of them were no longer willing to leave. Thus, the three battle teams began to train with each other, as well as battle royale between the battle teams. Because Ling Lan's battle team was strong, Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie's battle teams would always work together to fight against Ling Lan's battle team. Because Ling Lan didn't fight, although the members of Ling Lan's battle team were slightly stronger, they still lost more than they won in the end. Of course, after they lost, what awaited them was an even more terrifying hellish training. This also caused Ling Lan's battle team to perform extremely crazily every time they fought. This also triggered Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie's battle teams to retaliate crazily …
This kind of crazed battle that was close to actual combat caused the strength of each member of the three battle teams to slowly increase … Spring came and went, and the second half of the second year's academic life was spent quietly as everyone studied and trained in combat …
"Wow, is this the First Men's Military Academy? It's so big! " In one of the teams of new students who had just entered the First Men's Military Academy, a baby-faced youth was admiring the scenery of the military academy as he exclaimed in surprise that this military academy was as big as a city. His wide-eyed and shocked expression, paired with that baby-faced face of his, was really quite cute.
"Leader, I'm too excited. I didn't think that I would really get into the First Men's Military Academy." The baby-faced youth had a dreamy expression on his face, as if he still hadn't woken up from the happiness of receiving the acceptance letter.
"Tao Xiaotao, can you be quiet for a moment?" A rather dispirited youth beside him felt a headache coming on when he heard the baby-faced youth's chattering. He couldn't help but put a hand to his forehead to stop him.
"Yan Wuyou, aren't you excited? This is the First Men's Military Academy, the First Men's Military Academy that took more than half of the total points of the Grand Mecha Tournament last year. They left the other military academies behind by more than 20,000 points, and their points even broke the record of General Ling Xiao's year … "
Someone's reply made Tao Xiaotao even more excited. Yan Wuyou's defeated expression made the handsome youth beside him laugh.
"Rong Ziruo, you also agree with me, right?" Tao Xiaotao saw Rong Ziruo laugh and immediately jumped to his side like a little hamster to ask.
Rong Ziruo saw that he was being pestered and instantly smiled helplessly while holding his forehead. He regretted laughing out loud. This brat Tao Xiaotao, once he was pestered, he wouldn't be able to get away, and he … was really a chatterbox.
"Hey, hurry up and answer me. Rong Ziruo, Ziruo, Ziruo, Ziruo." Tao Xiaotao began to chant.
"Xiaotao, stop pestering Ziruo." A handsome youth beside Rong Ziruo had a pained expression on his face and quickly stopped him. "Otherwise, the captain will be angry."
"Hua Qingxin, I don't believe the words of a sissy like you." Tao Xiaotao wasn't afraid of Hua Qingxin's threat at all.
"Shut up!" A cold-looking youth who was deep in thought was woken up by Tao Xiaotao's voice. He looked at Tao Xiaotao unhappily and stopped him coldly.
Tao Xiaotao's body suddenly froze and his face fell. This made Hua Qingxin cover his mouth and laugh secretly. Tao Xiaotao glared at the youth and then replied with a bitter face, "Understood, captain!" The captain's gaze was so cold that Xiaotao was very scared.
Beside the cold-looking youth stood another youth with a face full of smiles. He glanced at Tao Xiaotao who was begging him and found it funny. However, he couldn't bear to see Tao Xiaotao's pitiful face so he said, "Ling Yi, Xiaotao is too agitated. Just let him go this time."
Ling Yi glared at Tao Xiaotao and then said, "Tiange, the First Men's Military Academy isn't the Scout Academy that we're in. It's the gathering place of all the geniuses in the Alliance. There are many strong people there. Xiaotao's personality is too loud and it's easy for him to get into trouble. For his own good, he needs to restrain himself."
The person who was called Tiange had the surname Yi. He was the strategist of this group of people. When he heard what Ling Yi said, Yi Tiange felt that it was right. Hence, he said, "Ling Yi, you're right. Xiaotao, now shut your mouth. If you say another word, I'll let the captain train you severely."
Hearing this, Tao Xiaotao's body trembled. His captain's control was too scary. He didn't want to try it. Thus, he nodded his head vigorously. In order to show his determination, he covered his mouth exaggeratedly to show that he wouldn't say another word.
After dealing with the noisy Tao Xiaotao, Yi Tiange thought of something. He looked at Ling Yi and asked, "Ling Yi, you used to train so hard. Even if you were covered in injuries, you still wanted to improve your strength. When I asked you why you were training so hard, you told me that you wanted to chase after someone and fight for the chance to stand behind him …"
Yi Tiange's words made Ling Yi's eyes flash. He showed a trace of nostalgia, pain, and desire, but most of all, determination.
"Yes!" Ling Yi confirmed Yi Tiange's words. His voice came from the depths of his throat and was actually a bit hoarse.
"Then can you tell us now who that person is?" Yi Tiange finally asked.
Yi Tiange's words made everyone look at Ling Yi. The other five members of the team all knew that Captain Ling Yi had trained so hard to chase after someone. It was just that Captain Ling Yi had refused to say who that person was. In the end, when they forced him, he only said that he would tell them after they got into the First Men's Military Academy.
Ling Yi was silent for a few seconds. He took a deep breath and then replied, "During the Mecha Grand Tournament last year, do you still remember who led the team?"
Yi Tiange nodded his head and smiled. "Of course we know. The one who led the team wasn't the ace operator Qiao Ting. It was an unknown second-year cadet called Ling Lan. I once said that it was such a coincidence that he has the same surname as you."
After saying this, Yi Tiange suddenly thought of something. His smile instantly disappeared and he said with a serious expression, "Could it be that it was that Ling Lan?"
Ling Yi nodded his head seriously, indicating that Yi Tiange was right.
"Surname Ling? Could it be that Ling Lan is your older brother?" Tao Xiaotao forgot that he wasn't allowed to speak. He put down his hand that was covering his mouth and asked in surprise.
At that moment, no one had the time to care about him. Ling Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. "How could that be? How could I be worthy of being Young Master Lan's younger brother?"
Looking at the curious faces of his team members, Ling Yi looked around. After confirming that there was no one else, he continued, "I originally couldn't tell you what I'm going to say next, but you are all brothers that I trust. I believe in you. I'll only say it once. After you hear it, just keep it to yourself."
The team members all nodded their heads to show that they understood. Ling Yi's words made them feel very touched. Their hearts were closer than before. Being willing to die for someone who understood them was a reflection of their current situation.
"Young Master Lan is the head of the Ling family, and I'm Young Master Lan's loyalist." Ling Yi finally revealed his identity. He had been hiding his identity all this time and felt guilty towards his team members. When he said this, he instantly felt relieved.
