Chapter 559: 559
"Tell them the truth," Zhao Jun said nonchalantly .
"Do you think they will believe me? Will they believe that a few harmless agents could produce such a huge explosion?" Li Lanfeng continued frowning . Although the reorganization had resulted in a change in the leaders of the 23rd Division, Li Lanfeng was not certain if the people that wanted to harm them were all kicked out . If one of them were still present, he would definitely make an issue out of this and then they would be in trouble .
"Didn't our boss tell us to call that number if we face some real trouble?" Zhao Jun didn't have as many reservations as Li Lanfeng, as his boss was the heir of the 23rd Division . As long as he was in the right, he was not afraid of them .
Li Lanfeng sighed heavily when he saw Li Shiyu's happy face . Li Shiyu had found what he wanted . Li Lanfeng didn't want to use the protection that the rabbit had given them . He didn't want the rabbit to feel that he was useless . However, he would not give up this protection just to save his face—the safety of his friends was more important .
At the mention of his boss, Zhao Jun recalled how Lingtian had unified the military academy in the previous year . He said excitedly, "I didn't expect the boss to unify the military academy last year and become the king of the academy . I knew that our boss would make a better king than Qiao Ting . "
Li Lanfeng heart stopped . Looked more like a king than Qiao Ting? However, after a while, he smiled . The rabbit was his benefactor . The latter had helped him with his poor health and granted him the chance to become a strong person . Although he had a cold attitude, Li Lanfeng could still feel the concern in his heart . He was not concerned about Li Yinfei's looks either…
Li Lanfeng's smile grew wider at this thought . It was not him! He believed the rabbit .
Li Lanfeng and his friends started dealing with the investigation by the investigation team from the 23rd Division . On the other side of things, Ling Lan's comrades managed to improve their physique tremendously after enduring Ling Lan's hell training . Satisfied, Ling Lan began to torture them with her mecha . Ling Lan's mecha piloting skills had reached a new height and so her team members got to experience what it was like to be at the brink of death . Under such a stressful environment, Qi Long managed to advance to become an ace operator . Of course, before Qi Long advanced, Ling Lan announced her ace operator status first .
Although she didn't break the record left by Ling Xiao and Qiao Ting for the fastest advancement to ace rank, she was already considered outstanding to be able to become an ace operator in the second half of the year . No one would belittle Ling Lan just because she didn't break the record . Qi Long's advancement took away some attention from Ling Lan, but this was what she wanted; she didn't want to have too much attention to herself .
By the time their fourth year ended, Luo Lang and Xie Yi had managed to advance, while Wu Jiong advanced in the first half of their fifth year . The First Men's Military Academy had five ace mecha masters now and the higher authorities of the school were elated . The new Grand Mecha Tournament had started so with five ace mecha masters in their hands and thus the First Men's Military Academy was confident that they would get first place .
However, when the school personnel saw the candidates list sent to them by Lingtian, they were shocked . The team leader was not Ling Lan—it was Qi Long . The assistant leader was Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie . Ling Lan was not in the list at all .
They wanted to find Ling Lan to question her about why she was not participating, but she went into closed-door meditation again . The higher authorities of the school couldn't do anything to her . Closed-door meditation was a crucial process for the advancement of the cadets . Nothing was more important than this, not even the Grand Mecha Tournament .
Hence, Wu Jiong and Qi Long led the elites from all the different specializations to participate in the Grand Mecha Tournament . This was the first time they led so many people without Ling Lan . Everyone performed very well, especially Li Yingjie; he managed to enter the top 8 in the single mecha combat event and fought an opponent of the First Co-ed Military Academy who had just advanced to ace level . Although he lost in the end, Li Yingjie managed to become an ace mecha operator after this match .
From that day onwards, the Grand Mecha Tournament became the stage for the First Men's Military Academy to perform on . The top 4 were all from the First Men's Military Academy; however, this was not the end . In the group mecha combat event that started thereafter, Li Yingjie got onto the ace balanced mecha which belonged to Ling Lan, who had planned for this mecha to be transported to the site of the competition before she started her closed-door mediation .
Thus, the First Men's Military Academy became the only team in the Grand Mecha Tournament to have 5 ace mecha masters in their team and they caused a huge uproar among the crowd . The team went through the competition without facing any difficulties . No one could cause any trouble to the First Men's Military Academy—they easily obtained first place in the group mecha combat event .
Ths competition destroyed the morale of all the other military academies . Han Jijyun's plan was to let the 5 ace mecha masters lead a team each and destroy all the military academies that posed a threat to them . However, as the base camp location could be changed, the First Men's Military Academy only took down the Third Men's Military Academy . The Second Men's Military Academy and the First Co-ed Military Academy managed to run away . These two schools maintained the lowest score required and didn't get kicked out of the match . They were already very happy with these results . After all, the First Men's Military Academy was too powerful this year and were not on the same level at all . They admitted their defeat .
However, the overall points that they achieved were still lesser than Ling Lan's team last time . It was not easy to get the 10,000 points for discovering the secret of the movement of the base camp . They might have been able to break Ling Lan's record if they had eliminated the Second Men's Military Academy and the First Co-ed Military Academy, but there was no second chance . Everyone knew that it would be difficult for anyone to break the record in the next 100 years .
Han Jijyun felt the need to commend Ling Yi's performance, as his team was the one that eliminated the Third Men's Military Academy's base camp . As the only third-year team leader, his abilities were as good as those older leaders and he had an all-rounded team . Han Jijyun realized that there was at least one military strategist in Ling Yi's team and that the overall ability of its members was strong . He felt that this allocation was similar to their battle team .
Han Jijyun didn't know whether it was a coincidence, or if Ling Yi was intentionally imitating them, but it did not prevent Han Jijyun from taking a fancy on Ling Yi . He even felt that once all of the older cadets entered the 23rd Division, Ling Yi would be a great successor .
The Lingtian Mecha Clan came back with many achievements, but before they could have the time to be excited, Ling Lan and the others in her year needed to prepare for the evaluation by the 23rd Division . The cadets who were in the same year as Ling Lan knew that she was going to register for the 23rd Division and so they chose to register for the same division as her—the regiment commander of the 23rd Division was their idol as well . Besides those cadets who needed to go to a certain division due to their family or faction, almost everyone registered for the 23rd Division . The examiners for the 23rd Division were delighted .
Although Ling Xiao had managed to build up the reputation of the 23rd Division and the military had given them priority in filling up their members, the division lacked middle-rank officers to lead their soldiers . They needed outstanding cadets to fill up these positions .
For a division to operate smoothly, the most important factor was these middle-rank officers . These officers needed to have a vast amount of knowledge, powerful abilities, and a good personality . The cadets that the military academy trained for more than four years were the best candidates for these positions .
Ling Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when he knew that the most important problem of the 23rd Division was solved . He knew that these cadets registered for the 23rd Division because of his daughter . His daughter is indeed an amazing person .
He Xuyang looked at the proud expression on General Ling Xiao's face and knew that his general was thinking of Master Lan again . They had been feeling frustration regarding this issue, when Master Lan gave them so many outstanding cadets to solve their problem . Master Lan was absolutely impressive . If Master Lan was his child, he might have had an even more exaggerated expression than General Ling Xiao . He would most likely have flashed happy smiles at others and told everyone that Master Lan was his child .
He Xuyang suddenly felt that he should not reject his mother when she arranged a blind date for him next time . If he could have a cute baby and nurtured the baby into a talent, it would be a happy thing, too .
