Chapter 528: 528
Inside her mindspace, Little Four rubbed his nose, rolled his eyes and didn't say anything . His boss looked as though she was angry, but she didn't have any killing intent . He wasn't stupid enough to think that Boss was actually going to choke Ling Yi to death . Boss was more angry about Ling Yi messing up her plans; she had expected better from him .
Everyone in the observation room looked towards Ling Lan and waited for their boss' next move . On the side, Ling Lan was looking at the arena with a blank expression as though she was thinking about something .
The moment the freshmen saw that Ling Yi had chosen Ling Lan, they were shaken . At the same time, this situation also made many freshmen become discontent . After all, with his interference in the middle, Qi Long would have time to rest . It wouldn't be that easy for them to continue to take advantage of Qi Long .
However, even though many freshmen were dissatisfied with his decision, they couldn't deny that they were all extremely excited as well . The examiner Ling Yi had chosen was Ling Lan and Ling Lan was the legendary existence in the First Men's Military Academy . These freshmen definitely wanted to see the heroic figure of this legendary commander, and Ling Yi had given them the chance to do so .
The members of the Lingtian Mecha Clan around the arena were actually in an uproar .
"Sh*t, who is this freshman? He actually dares to challenge our boss . He's really daring . " A Lingtian member, who respected Ling Lan greatly, spoke with an angry expression . From how he saw it, these freshmen didn't even have the qualifications to challenge Boss Ling Lan .
"Is it because he's underestimating our other captains and commanders?" someone asked .
"This punk is too cocky!"
Seeing the members of Lingtian Mecha Clan around them speak ill of Ling Yi, Yi Tiange knew the situation wasn't going well; they had already made enemies with the senior members before they could even join the mecha clan . They were not in a very good position and could even be singled out by all the other members .
Yi Tiange immediately replied, "Our captain respects Commander Ling Lan very much . He was originally going to challenge Commander Qi Long, but Commander Qi Long has fought countless fights and his energy has been depleted . Our captain believes that challenging Commander Qi Long again wouldn't be fair . That is why he chose Commander Ling Lan to ask for his advice in fighting . "
Yi Tiange words were very logical and made some of the Lingtian members calm down, but there were still others who remained very dissatisfied . They said, "You have to defeat our captains or other commanders before challenging our boss . "
"Also, are you guys underestimating our Commander Qi Long? Even though his energy has been depleted, defeating him wouldn't be easy . Did he really need to have an expression of emapthy?" In terms of showing her physical skills, ever since Ling Lan fought in the arena battle in the very beginning, she never fought again in front of everyone . In these past two years, Qi Long was always the one to be challenged . In the eyes of Lingtian members, Qi Long was similarly undefeatable . Although Yi Tiange's words were of good intentions and Ling Yi was being just, there was still a feeling that made them seem they were underestimating Qi Long . This made the other members feel very discontent .
Hearing all this, Yi Tiange couldn't help but smile bitterly . If his own captain had chosen someone else, then maybe those of Lingtian would have seen him a better light . However, as luck would have it, his captain had chosen the spiritual leader of Lingtian, Ling Lan . This made these people's opinion of his captain worsen . No matter how much more they explained themselves, they wouldn't be able to turn those thoughts around .
At that moment, Qi Long was breathing heavily on the arena . He saw white flashes after being so exhausted and everything around him seemed to be really far from him . He was like a log waiting for the next freshman to come up the arena to challenge him…
Challenge our boss? Qi Long's ears suddenly heard these words . What? Someone wanted to challenge Boss?
"If you want to challenge our boss, then defeat all the captains or other commanders first!" That was right . If Ling Yi didn't defeat them, then how could he have to audacity to challenge the Boss?
"… Underestimating our Commander Qi Long… energy depleted to its limit… charity…" Underestimate? Charity? Qi Long's eyes suddenly opened, following which his originally fading five senses returned to him and he saw the angry expression of the members below . A cool young man stood below the arena, standing there fearlessly . He stood tall and firm as though the mockery and anger from around him didn't affect him at all .
"Is it him? He's looking down on me because of my condition? And because of that he also thinks he can defeat Boss?" Qi Long's eyes began to burn with rage . Everyone had their own friends and family . As far as the public was concerned, Ling Lan was a childhood friend that grew up with Qi Long, but in reality, the former was like a brother and father to him . Whether it be his physical skills or way of thinking, Ling Lan was the one who had taught him everything . He could accept any insults directed to him, but he couldn't let anyone look down upon Ling Lan .
Right at that moment, Ling Lan had finally come to a decision . She was getting ready to defeat Ling Yi at lighting speed and continue her previous arrangement, but just then, in the arena, Qi Long's entire aura suddenly changed .
Ling Lan frowned and looked towards Ling Yi, who was waiting for Qi Long to descend the arena . Her lips perked up as she said, "Making plans but the plans fail . If don't plan, something amazing happens . Ling Yi… your luck isn't bad! You've gotten away from danger!"
At that moment, Ling Yi suddenly felt his body become cold . Before he could figure out why, he heard Qi Long's deep voice coming from the arena, asking, "Are you the one who wants to challenge our boss?"
Ling Yi nodded in response . The only reason he had worked so hard for so long was to let Young Master Lan see his potential, to have him judge whether or not he was qualified to stand behind him .
Qi Long suddenly burst out in hysterical laughter . "Hahaha, if you want to challenge our boss then defeat me first . Otherwise, you're not qualified!" The sentence with the words "not qualified" was roared out, his voice exploding throughout the entire training dojo . It actually made a few people who had lower levels in physical skills become shaken .
Ling Yi looked at Qi Long's red eyes and immediately frowned . He suddenly felt that the current Qi Long was very dangerous . His aura was very different compared to when he was fighting others .
"Qi Long looks kind of odd . " Han Jijyun, who knew Qi Long best, had a change in expression .
Ling Lan's expression tensed up and she quietly agreed, "Yes . "
Although Qi Long was asking for a fight, Ling Yi didn't go into the arena . The one he had challenged was Ling Lan, and thus they could only wait for her answer .
At that moment, a cold sharp voice sounded out in response to Qi Long's outburst . "Let's do what Qi Long wants!"
Ling Lan's eyes narrowed . He didn't think that Qi Long was so trusted by Young Master Lan . Young Master Lan actually let Qi Long interfere and fight . After leaving Young Master Lan for more than ten years, did the person who was now standing behind him this man?
The intent to fight flashed in Ling Yi's eyes . "Since he wants to fight, then we'll fight!" He moved quickly and jumped onto the arena . He said, "Then Commander Qi Long, please advise me . "
"Fight!" Following the signal to fight, the fighting spirit from Qi Long's body poured out and almost force Ling Yi into the ground . The aura pouring out of him had also suddenly caused a transparent light barrier to appear on the outer edges of the arena .
Ling Yi expression changed drastically . The Qi-Jin in Qi Long's body was quickly moving about . This definitely wasn't the intermediate level of Qi-Jin . The physical skills instructor at his Scout Academy was only at the intermediate level of Qi-Jin . There wasn't an existence of this type of aura that made people unable to raise their heads .
"Is it the Advanced level of Qi-Jin? Or even higher?" Ling Yi thought to himself as he endured with great effort .
The audience below the arena all wore expressions of confusion at the appearance of the light barrier . Some of the older cadets suddenly thought of something and their expressions showed pleasant surprise . Could it be that Commander Qi Long had already reached "that" level?
"Is it aura? When did Qi Long learn how to use an aura?" Luo Lang wondered aloud with surprise . Those who had previously received a beating at Ling Lan's hand all knew what it was . They had been pressured to the ground by Ling Lan's aura before . However, the day before, Qi Long clearly didn't know how to use an aura .
Ling Lan's eyes gleamed . She didn't expect Ling Yi's provocation to push Qi Long to the verge of death . It had actually accidentally allowed him to learn how to use an aura . Of course, this type of aura that only came from Qi Long's fighting spirit wasn't the actual aura from later stages of Qi-Jin . It could only be considered a prototype and needed strong emotions to kickstart .
Ling Lan already felt that it was a bit unexpected . She couldn't help but understand why it had happened . Qi Long had been stuck at the advanced level of Qi-Jin for a very long time . He had only needed to progress just a bit more to advance into the later stages of Qi-Jin . Having sense the prototype aura earlier on was also a possibility .
Everyone stared at the arena . Even though they all had their own questions, at that moment, they didn't want to think too much into the details .
Even though Qi Long's aura was a prototype, for Ling Yi, it was strong enough . He endured with great effort and felt that he was going to get pressured by this shapeless pressure .
Ling Lan knew that if this continued, his final outcome would be being forced into the floor and laying there . Ling Yi had trained his physical skills long and hard for more than ten years and he was being watched by Ling Lan right now, so how could he just surrender like this? He bit his lip hard and put all of his body's Qi-Jin into his two feet . He stomped on the ground and his entire body flew towards Qi Long like a cannonball . He clenched his right hand into a fist and launched a punch towards Qi Long's head .
He had to attack Qi Long and interfere with the release of his aura!
"Bam!" Qi Long raised his right hand and blocked Ling Yi's punch . The large aura began to spread, causing the originally dimmed transparent light barrier to brighten up once again .
Ling Yi was sent flying by this force . He somersaulted in mid-air and landed firmly on the arena . Qi Long didn't move at all . In terms of the power of the hits just now, Ling Yi's was weaker than Qi Long's by a mile . However, it was because of Ling Yi's attack that Qi Long's aura's pressure was cut off . The aura in the arena was instantly gone, making Ling Yi breathe a sigh of relief . He knew he had temporarily gotten through a crisis .
"That's too bad . Qi Long's aura stops once he gets interfered," Luo Lang remarked with a face of pity for Qi Long . If he could continue to pressure Ling Yi, then Ling Yi wouldn't have any chance to defeat Qi Long at all .
"It wasn't easy for Qi Long to get to this point since he just comprehended how to use his aura . " Ling Lan knew clearly that using this kind of power would greatly burden the body . Qi Long being able to endure for this long was already a performance that was sufficiently amazing .
Luo Lang knew that he was forcing his body, but it was just that he worried that Qi Long's energy wasn't enough . If he could have defeated his opponent with his aura, that would have been the best possible outcome . This was why he felt regret .
No longer under the pressure of Qi Long's aura, Ling Yi began to attack again . He was afraid that if he hesitated even for a second, his opponent would use that shapeless aura again . Ling Yi didn't know that that aura just now was only accidentally turned on by Qi Long . If he wanted to use it again, he may not be successful . Qi Long, who couldn't fully control this ability yet, would need to use a lot of time to train and study if he wanted to completely control it .
