“Boss, you were too rash . ” Little Four reprimanded Ling Lan upon seeing her condition improving .
“I didn"t expect the recoil to be so strong,” Ling Lan replied innocently .
“Don"t lie to me . If you didn"t reenact Xie Yi"s memory, the recoil wouldn"t have been this strong . ” Reenacting the memory required an abundance of spiritual power . Ling Lan was already pushing herself when she used Invasion of Dreams . She was lucky that she didn"t get worse injuries .
Little Four got scared by the thought and started tearing up .
Ling Lan blinked . She wanted to change the topic, but when she saw the fear and remorse in Little Four"s eyes, she apologized to him instead . “I"m sorry that I let you worry . I won"t let myself get hurt again . Don"t worry about me . ” She reached out and touched Little Four"s head, feeling grateful for his concern .
Little Four"s anxiousness taught Ling Lan a lesson and she told herself to prepare well before doing anything in the future . She could not let the people who loved and cared for her worry again .
Ling Lan saw that Little Four was still sad and quickly changed the topic . She asked, “Do you think that our clan can win the challenge?”
Little Four stopped crying and answered her seriously . “Although you got kicked out of the challenge, Leiting No . 1 is out of the battle too . If Qi Long maintains his normal standard, the other members of Leiting Mecha Clan won"t be able to win against him if they fight one-on-one . ”
“I think that there"s no way our clan will lose . ” Little Four raised his head proudly . The Lingtian Battle Clan had grown into a clan full of special-cla.s.s operators . They were able to become the pillars of the Lingtian clan . His boss was not the only strong person in the team now .
“Everyone has grown up . I can let go now . ” Ling Lan stood up, walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside her house . She had been staying here for more than two years . Now that her team members had grown stronger, she could focus on herself .
Little Four was puzzled at Ling Lan"s words . “Boss, what do you mean?”
“Closed-door meditation,” Ling Lan replied with a smile . She had wanted to meditate so that she could merge all the things she had learned during this period of time . However, before this, there were too many things on her heart and she was not able to meditate in peace . The challenge this time was not only the start of her plans to unify the military academy, but it was also a challenge she posed for the clan . She wanted to know if they could operate all by themselves .
This was also why she crossed realms to help Xie Yi solve his problem . Ling Lan liked to settle everything properly and make sure that nothing was left to chance; it was the only way she could put her heart at ease . According to her a.n.a.lysis, this trait was inherited from her mother . Actually, her real age was around the same as her mother . People of this age liked to concern themselves with everything . It was hard for her to change .
Little Four"s eyes lit up, his face filled with surprise . “Boss, are you…”
Ling Lan nodded . “It"s time . ”
It was time for her to stop protecting her teammates and let them battle with the other factions themselves . No matter what the result was, it would hasten their growth .
“But you"re going to unify the military academy soon . If you meditate now and they lose, your efforts will all be wasted . ” Little Four worried about leaving the situation in the hands of others .
Ling Lan smiled gently and flicked Little Four"s forehead . “Do you think that I honestly want to become the king of the military academy?”
Little Four rubbed at his forehead, confused .
“If I don"t give them a goal to work towards, they won"t have the motivation to become stronger . Being the king of the military academy is a goal that"s big enough for them to work hard for,” Ling Lan explained . She was not an arrogant person . She would not have done this without a valid reason .
“So, let"s make them work hard for me and for the goal . ” Ling Lan gave a brilliant smile, which brightened up her face, too . Mesmerized, Little Four suddenly wiped at the corners of his mouth . My boss shouldn"t smile too much .
The battle between Lingtian and Leiting didn"t end due to the exit of Tian Jiajun and Ling Lan . After a few hours of fighting and ambushing, the Lingtian Mecha Clan won against the Leiting Mecha Clan with three members surviving the battle .
This meant that the Leiting Mecha Clan, which had been around for a few hundred years, would be disbanded and merged entirely into the Lingtian Mecha Clan . The name “Leiting” was merely history now . Some new members of Leiting might build another Leiting Mecha Clan in the future, but it would not be the same clan as before . It would be a new mecha clan .
Everyone thought that there was no stopping of Lingtian after they defeated Leiting, but it was during such a time that Ling Lan announced her closed-door meditation .
This news caused an uproar among the people in the military academy . Everyone felt that Ling Lan made the wrong decision, that she chose the worst time to meditate . If she had gone to meditate a few months later, she would have been able to lead the Lingtian Mecha Clan in destroying all the other factions and become the king of the military academy . Her name would have gone down in the school"s history as a true hero .
Many felt that Ling Lan made a wrong decision, but the other mecha clans were relieved; they felt hopeful about being able to win against the Lingtian Mecha Clan . This change made it difficult to predict the results of the future battles, but Ling Lan had achieved the results that she wanted .
A human would only treasure the things that he or she fought hard for . The Lingtian Mecha Clan needed this training .
After Ling Lan went into meditation, Lingtian battled with many other mecha clans . The former Leiting special-cla.s.s operators were still angry about the merger, so the members who partic.i.p.ated in the battles were all operators from the original Lingtian Mecha Clan .
Although the Lingtian Mecha Clan did not have as many special-cla.s.s mecha operators as the rest of the factions, they learned from Ling Lan"s tactics and knew how to make the situation advantageous to them . Hence, the Lingtian Mecha Clan always chose the twelve-man team challenge mode . They did not give the other factions a chance for them to use their numbers against them .
