Chapter 581: Reminder!

After Senior Colonel Mi left, six people were now left alone. Crazy Warrior and Ice Spirit looked at Domineering Blade instinctively. Domineering Blade was the captain of the strongest battle team in the special forces. He was someone that everyone looked up to.

Domineering Blade turned to look at Ling Lan. He asked, “What plans do you have?”

Since they were in Ling Lan’s team, Ling Lan had the final say. Also, it had been 15 years since he saw this child. He wanted to see if he had grown into a powerful person. This was something he wanted to ascertain too.

Ling Lan didn’t show any signs of happiness even though her team was filled with powerful members. She raised her eyebrows and said calmly, “Tell me what your ultimate technique is.”

Ling Lan’s heart dropped too when she heard that her opponent came from the Flying Dragon Special Forces. She was just used to not showing emotions on her face. Hence, Domineering Blade and the other 4 people thought that she didn’t know about the Flying Dragon Special Forces when in actual fact, she was familiar with them. She still remembered how they wanted to snatch Li Shiyu away from her.

That year, she appeared indifferent when she heard the news so her team members all felt that she had a big heart. Li Shiyu was also touched by the trust Ling Lan had in him. However, deep inside her, she was exploding with anger. She promised herself that if she had a chance, she would teach the Flying Dragon Special Forces a lesson and let them understand that her men couldn’t be touched by anyone else.

Right now, she had this opportunity. Ling Lan didn’t know if she should be grateful towards her father for giving her this opportunity or should she be angry at him for giving her a difficult challenge again. She didn’t like the Flying Dragon Special Forces but she couldn’t deny that they were strong. The captains in the special forces were fearful of them too.

The five people knew that this was not the time to hide their abilities so they told Ling Lan their ultimate technique. Ling Lan asked them to wait for a while and went to discuss her plan with Little Four. After many corrections, the plan was finally done. The battle was about to start soon.

Ling Lan sent the plan to her five team members. Crazy Warrior and Ice Spirit waited patiently for her during this time while Devil Blade discussed with Divine Blade and Domineering Blade. The three of them were willing to give Ling Lan the chance to lead them but they had to do something themselves too. That way, if Ling Lan made a mistake in her commanding, they could rectify it.

All five of them got excited when they heard their communicator beeping. They opened the message that was sent to them and read through it. They felt that it was a thorough plan and had more confidence in Ling Lan.

Devil Blade read the plan. He was able to understand the gist of the plan and his eyes shone with anticipation.

“Captain.” Devil Blade took a deep breath and called Domineering Blade softly.

“Yes?” Domineering Blade raised his eyebrows.

“If Ling Lan asks you to do anything later during the battle, just do it without any hesitation,” Devil Blade said in a serious tone.

Domineering Blade looked at Devil Blade thoughtfully. After a while, he replied, “I understand.”

“Divine Blade, you too,” Devil Blade reminded his teammate.

“I know. I will do my best.” Divine Blade replied nonchalantly. As a sniper, he knew when he should attack and when he shouldn’t. He didn’t think that Ling Lan would know it better than him. However, he respected Devil Blade so he decided to listen to him. He felt that there was no harm in listening to what Devil Blade said.

Crazy Warrior and Ice Spirit heard what Devil Blade said too. They pondered over his words. No one knew what they were thinking except for themselves.

Ling Lan had finished her preparation too.

At the dormitory district of the Flying Dragon Special Forces, the members who received the information from their commander were in a bad mood. One of the members was sleeping in. When he heard the beeping from his communicator, he took a look at it. His eyes widened in surprise. He cursed, “F**k!”

What was wrong with their commander? Why did he ask them to be the examiners for a recruit’s mission? He pouted and decided to ignore this assignment.

“Boring.” Another member saw the message and ignored it too. He continued to listen to his goddess, Li Yinfei’s concert was in the virtual world. Every time he listened to her, he felt calm. His love for Li Yinfei continued to increase.

“I am not going.”

“Me too.”

“This is so boring.”

“…”

The people in the Flying Dragon Special Forces were arrogant and unruly. Sometimes, they would even provoke their commander if they were in a bad mood. Hence, they disregarded the message as they found it boring and useless.

But… this time, things were not as simple.

“F**k. I will give you all three minutes to form a six-person team. If not, everyone will go to the Dark Dragon Valley for training.” Their commander’s threat rang through the entire dormitory district.

The people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces immediately got nervous when they heard this. The Dark Dragon Valley? No one wanted to go there again. They would really die there.

This was a matter of life-and-death. The people in the Flying Dragon Special Forces started taking action and before the three minutes were up, six people with the least experience were pushed out. This was the fastest time the Flying Dragon Special Forces took to complete a task.

The six people were unwilling to take the mission but they were the newest member of the force. Hence, they had no choice but to enter the virtual world and find the room where the battle was going to happen.

The six members from the Flying Dragon Special Forces were furious that they were disturbed and wanted to teach the recruit’s team a lesson. They wanted to make sure that he would be unable to form his battle team.

Ling Lan saw that the time of the battle had reached so she entered the room with her five team members.

Ling Lan thought that this would be a huge map but she was wrong. It was just a bigger combat arena. There were no shortcuts for this mission. She could only rely on the strength of her team members and the cooperation within them to win the battle.

Ling Lan frowned slightly. Her brains started working furiously as she thought about what situation would be advantageous towards them. The plan that she proposed mentioned about what they had to do if they entered a combat arena but no one expected it. This mission was to test the intelligence of the team captain so a bigger map would be more appropriate for the mission.

The combat arena was not somewhere the captain could display his intelligence and skills. It depended more on the cooperation between the team members. However, Ling Lan’s team was a temporary team. Hence, they felt that the possibility of entering a combat arena map was low so they chose to ignore this option.

General Ling Xiao predicted their thought and purposely went against them. They were caught off their guard.

“Troublesome.” Ling Lan sighed. Luckily, she didn’t have any lag time when she entered a new map so she could see her surroundings first and made the necessary arrangements. Ling Lan believed that this was the only advantage they had against their opponents.

Ling Lan scanned the environment she was in. Her team members were distributed at different corners of the arena. Her opponent was in the same situation. They were placed alternately. Whoever woke up first would gain the upper hand.

Ling Lan’s fingers flew on the control panel. She observed her team members as well as her opponent. The first order was ready to be given out. She just needed to wait for the first member to wake up.

While Ling Lan was watching over her team members, she didn’t forget about her opponents. She aimed her beam gun towards the nearest opponent. Once his protection time was over, she would attack him.

The mecha nearest to her looked weird but she could still make out the outline of a balanced mecha. The mechas of the members of the Flying Dragon Special Forces didn’t look like mechas from the Federation. They had all been modified suited to their own style.

Ling Lan was on her guard. She had the prodigy mecha engineer, Chang Xinyuan, as her friend so she knew that modified mechas were stronger than normal mechas. The Flying Dragon Special Forces was filled with talented people so their mechas should be stronger.

Ling Lan noticed that her team members didn’t modify their mechas at all. She didn’t know if they modified their internal parts too like her or did they not modify their mechas at all.

Unexpectedly, the first person that woke up from the lag time was her team member. It was not Domineering Blade or Crazy Warrior. It was Devil Blade.

Devil Blade must have strong spiritual power. The lag time a person had was related to his or her spiritual power. The stronger the spiritual power, the lesser the lag time. Devil Blade must have gotten his name because he was a ‘devil’ in a certain aspect. However, Ling Lan didn’t expect it to be his spiritual power. No wonder he looked so scrawny. Ling Lan thought that it was his natural physique but now, she knew that it was due to his strong spiritual power affecting his body.

Devil Blade just started to sense his surroundings when he heard a cold voice saying to him, “Long-range beam. Enemy ahead, 300 meters away, 40 degrees to your left.”

Devil Blade didn’t hesitate and fired his beam gun at the direction that Ling Lan mentioned. He saw a blue mecha glowing with blue lights. His opponent was still under protection.

At this moment, 5 people woke up simultaneously. They were Domineering Blade, Crazy Warrior, and three of their opponents.

Ling Lan changed the direction of her beam gun. She fired a shot the moment the light around her opponent’s mecha disappeared.
