"Dark alter ego?" Zilong and Han Jijun looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
"Yes. Xie Yi's two alter egos aren't like Luo Lang's Devil Change which has a primary and secondary personality. No matter how strong the secondary personality is, it's still controlled by the primary personality. His primary and dark alter egos are on par with each other. Whoever has the upper hand can control the primary personality, "Ling Lan explained calmly.
"Then the Xie Yi that always appears in front of us is the primary personality." Han Jijun understood.
"It might not be the primary personality. I'm just saying. After all, we don't know what the suppressed personality is like. It might be better," Ling Lan replied irresponsibly.
Han Jijyun glared at his Boss. Xie Yi used to be bright and cheerful. No matter how he looked at it, he should be the main personality. Also, Boss and Qi Long had said that the suppressed personality had a violent and destructive aura. It was obviously a characteristic of the dark personality. Why was Boss trying to cover it up?
Zilong's eyes flashed with fighting spirit. He asked in a low voice, "Boss, do you want me to make a move?"
Boss once said that danger was also an opportunity. The worst way to deal with uncontrollable power was to forcefully suppress it. The best way to deal with it was to let it explode. Only when it was fully unleashed would there be a chance of survival. Back then, Boss used this method on Luo Lang when he was in danger. He detonated the suppressed personalities and allowed Luo Lang to control Devil Change.
To Zilong's surprise, Ling Lan rejected him. "No need."
"Boss, are you going to make a move yourself?" Zilong asked curiously. If Boss made a move, he would be more confident.
"He's very wary of me." Ling Lan shook her head. "I can't force him out."
Ling Lan's words made Zilong confused. Did Boss mean that he wouldn't be able to make a move? Then why didn't he make a move? Did Boss have other plans? Zilong thought about it carefully.
Han Jijun was also thinking with his head lowered.
Ling Lan did not say anything else. There were some things that they had to discover on their own. If she did everything for them, they would not grow.
Soon, Han Jijun came back to his senses. Ling Lan didn't give him a lot of things. He vaguely felt something, but he didn't understand it completely. However, Han Jijun was not in a hurry. Since he could not figure it out now, he might as well put it aside. Perhaps he might suddenly have an inspiration.
He thought of another matter, the mission that his boss had given him this morning.
"Boss, I've asked Regiment Commander Wu. Currently, in our mecha clan, including our battle team, there are a total of 21 people who have become special-class operators." A trace of pride appeared on Han Jijun's face. They were all third-year cadets — being able to advance to special-class operator so early was enough to prove their top-notch mecha piloting talent.
Ling Lan nodded. "That's enough."
Han Jijun had a flash of inspiration. His eyes lit up. "Boss, are you preparing to take action?"
"What am I preparing for?" Ling Lan asked with a raised brow.
Han Jijun could no longer hold back his excitement. His face was flushed red from excitement. He swept his gaze around the area and found that no one was paying attention to them. Only then did he say in a low voice, "Unify the forces of the military academy and become the true king of the military academy?"
Han Jijun's words made Zilong's eyes shine brightly. He also remembered Boss's resolute and domineering declaration during their first year. He looked longingly at Ling Lan, waiting for Boss's definite answer.
"The tree wants to be still, but the wind won't stop! Even if we don't want to make a move, others won't let us go. Since that's the case, we might as well strike first and gain the upper hand. " Ling Lan said coldly. Her entire being had turned incomparably cold in an instant, and a formless murderous aura seeped out, almost freezing Han Jijyun. Even Qi Long felt a great amount of pressure at this moment.
The more Zilong's strength increased, the more he felt the terror of his Boss. Perhaps because the difference in strength between them had been too great in the past, he had not been clear about Boss's strength. Although Zilong had never asked Ling Lan, he knew in his heart that Boss must have already entered the domain stage.
Without a doubt, the fact that Boss had advanced to the domain stage had once again broken the Federation's record. However, Zilong also knew that if Boss did not say anything, he must have his reasons. Thus, he kept this secret deep in his heart, not revealing it to anyone. Even his best friend, Han Jijun, did not say anything.
In the headquarters of the Leiting Mecha Clan, Lin Zhidong sat in the commander's office, brimming with ambition as he dealt with the matters of the Leiting Mecha Clan. Ever since Qiao Ting had gone to the 3rd Division, he had finally succeeded as the commander of the Leiting Mecha Clan as he wished. He had truly experienced the satisfaction of controlling the world.
"Beep beep beep!" The A.I. on his desk beeped. Lin Zhidong said in high spirits, "What is it?"
"Regiment Commander, the Lingtian Mecha Clan has sent a letter of challenge." His assistant's voice came from the A.I.
"Letter of challenge?" Lin Zhidong was so shocked by this news that he almost fell from his seat. He quickly supported himself on the table, took a deep breath, and said, "Come in." What the hell was this Lingtian doing? They had not even issued a challenge to them, so why the hell were they issuing a challenge? Besides, they were already the number one faction. What was the purpose of challenging the number two faction?
The assistant walked into the commander's office and handed a paper card to Lin Zhidong.
Lin Zhidong opened it and saw a line of words written in a flamboyant style.
Letter of Challenge:
Target: Leiting Mecha Clan!
Challenger: Lingtian Mecha Clan!
Last signature: Ling Lan. Time: A.I. 4746.5.20.
"It really is a letter of challenge …" Lin Zhidong stared at the letter in his hand in shock. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind as he realised what the other party wanted.
Lin Zhidong was furious. He slammed the table and gritted his teeth, saying, "Ling Lan, your appetite is too big! You actually dare to covet our Leiting and try to merge with us. "
It turned out that in the First Men's Military Academy, there were rules about who could issue a letter of challenge. If a lower ranked faction challenged a higher ranked faction, if they won, they would swap positions with the other. If they lost, other than paying the battle deposit for the challenge, there was no other price to pay. This was the most common type of letter of challenge — 80% to 90% of the mecha challenge matches in the military academy came from this type.
However, there was another type that was rarer, and that was when a higher ranked faction challenged a lower ranked faction. This type of challenge was an act of merger. In other words, if the higher ranked faction won, the lower ranked faction would have to unconditionally merge with the higher ranked faction. If the lower ranked faction won, they would swap positions.
These challenge matches referred to mecha challenge matches, which all teams had to follow unconditionally. For example, Qiao Ting had challenged Lingtian. The higher ranked faction had challenged the lower ranked faction with the intention of merging with Lingtian. However, in the end, Lingtian had been one step ahead, and Leiting had instead lost the position of number one faction to Lingtian …
Of course, there were also some non-mecha challenge matches in the military academy. For example, when Ling Lan and the others had just formed their new cadet regiment, they had been challenged to a physical skills arena match. This type of challenge had a gambling aspect to it — as long as both sides accepted, the match could be officially established, and there was nothing forced about it.
Lin Zhidong's words also woke his deputy up. He stared in shock at the letter of challenge that Lin Zhidong had tossed to the ground in anger. Lingtian was preparing to merge with their Leiting? Was he hallucinating? A small mecha clan that had just been established not too long ago actually wanted to encroach on the number one faction that had been established for hundreds of years?
The deputy had already forgotten that the throne of the number one faction had already been taken by Lingtian a year ago.
Meanwhile, at about the same time, the various mecha clans had all received letters of challenge from Lingtian. This also meant that Lingtian's plan to unify the military academy had begun. However, at this time, no one was optimistic about Lingtian's chances. All the mecha clans thought that Lingtian was just daydreaming … there were also countless mecha clans who were prepared to pull Lingtian down from the throne of the number one faction in one fell swoop. They wanted to make Lingtian understand that it was extremely foolish to underestimate the mecha clans of the entire military academy.
Ling Lan's thunderous actions instantly made Lingtian a thorn in the side of all the factions in the First Men's Military Academy. They all wanted nothing more than to get rid of Lingtian as soon as possible. Originally, some of the small groups had held good impressions of Lingtian, thinking that Lingtian, who had also started out as a small group, would remember their hardships and protect them. However, this letter of challenge had also shattered their hopes. Their attitudes instantly changed drastically, now all of them wanted Lingtian to fall from the clouds and become mud.
In this situation where everyone wanted to beat them up, Lingtian was nervously preparing for their first big battle. Lingtian's first target was not those small and weak mecha clans, but the strongest and most powerful faction in the military academy, the Leiting Mecha Clan.
Ling Lan's arrangements were made in hopes of catching these powerful mecha clans off guard before they were ready and taking them down directly. When they really did take down these veteran factions, it would be enough to intimidate the other small and medium-sized mecha clans, achieving the effect of giving up without a fight. Ling Lan did not want Lingtian to fight one battle after another. They did not have the resources of the veteran factions to have enough strong mecha operators to rotate.
"It's out. The challenge mode is out." The next day, before Leiting could even catch their breath, the mainframe sent the challenge mode to Leiting's regiment commander, Lin Zhidong.
"12-man elite battle team mode!" When Lin Zhidong saw this message, his heart skipped a beat. Just this number of people would not be able to show Leiting's advantage. Right now, Leiting lacked a strong mecha operator like Qiao Ting, who could overwhelm everyone with his skills. The elite battle team mode was very disadvantageous for them.
Leiting immediately called for a meeting of the captain-level and above. At the meeting, Lin Zhidong asked, "We must send our strongest 12 mecha operators. The key is, who has the confidence to defeat Ling Lan?"
The meeting room was silent. During the Mecha Grand Tournament last year, Ling Lan's stunning long-range operation skills, as well as that personal skill that had been confirmed afterwards, all made them feel uncertain.
"Could it be that without Regiment Commander Qiao Ting, we won't be able to deal with Ling Lan?" Lin Zhidong said angrily.
"Even Regiment Commander Qiao Ting lost to Lingtian, didn't he?" someone retorted softly.
"That's because my brother was set up. Otherwise, how could my brother have lost to that brat Ling Lan who's still wet behind the ears? Regiment Commander Lin, don't worry. Leave that brat to me, "shouted a rebellious youth as he stood up with a face full of indignation.
Seeing this, Lin Zhidong's forehead was filled with black lines. Qiao Lin was Qiao Ting's younger brother, but compared to his amazing brother, this Qiao Lin was really wasting his good bloodline and talent. He was already in his third year, but had only just entered advanced mecha warrior level. At this age, Qiao Ting was already an invincible existence among special-class operators. If not for Qiao Ting's sake, he definitely would not have let this idiot hold the position of team leader.
