Although the mecha was broken, Ling Lan could still recognize it as the one that fought with Devil Blade and Domineering Blade. It was the strongest mecha operator in the Flying Dragon Special Forces team.
Ling Lan felt pity. She thought that with the combined strength of Domineering Blade and Devil Blade, they would be able to defeat this person. However, when she remembered the ultimate techniques and weapons the members of the Flying Dragon Special Forces used at the end, she didn’t blame Domineering Blade and Devil Blade anymore.
Ling Lan flew towards the broken mecha. Once she was within the range of attack for her beam gun, she stopped and aimed her beam gun at her opponent.
To defeat Domineering Blade, this person must be strong in his close-combat skills. Thus, Ling Lan didn’t want to give him any chances of closing in on her. She was not afraid of losing to her opponent in a close-combat battle. She was worried that her opponent might self-destruct and kill her in the process.
Ling Lan was a cautious person. She knew that if she was in her opponent’s situation, she would aim to die together with her opponent. She would not allow herself to leave the battle as a loser.
She felt that her opponent must have similar thoughts too. It was safer to keep a distance between them. Ling Lan was confident about her sniping skills. If she was unable to snipe a heavily damaged mecha, she should go back to her learning space and study everything again.
Lin Five noticed that Ling Lan was keeping her distance and sighed loudly. He knew that he had no chance of winning the battle. The Flying Dragon Special Forces had lost this match. But, he was unwilling to just leave like this. He pressed the speaker button and his voice rang through the arena. “Sir, please wait for a moment.” He felt that this person was strong enough to be called Sir.
Ling Lan raised her eyebrows. Her mecha was unaffected by the interference and continued to aim the beam gun at her opponent.
As expected of an experienced mecha master. Once he entered the battle, nothing could distract him. Lin Five thought about this and decided to give up. He smiled bitterly. “I would like to know who you all of you are? Which battle team are you all of you are from?” If he could, he wanted his captain to have a match with this team leader. This match would definitely make a name in the history of the Mecha World.
“This was just a mission for the formation of a battle team. You are the examiner. You should be clear about this.” Lin Five waited for five seconds before a cold voice replied to him.
“I know. I just didn’t expect someone as powerful as you to appear in this mission,” Lin Five said in a depressed tone.
“I didn’t expect the members of the Flying Dragon Special Forces to be my opponents too. It surprised me,” Ling Lan answered him calmly. She felt lucky that her team members were strong. If not, it would be hard to predict the results of the mission. Ling Lan felt that if she met this person at the start, the situation might be different. She might be at a disadvantage.
“If I guess correctly, the newbie must have a huge background. If not, people like you would not help him.” Lin Five tried to get information out of Ling Lan.
Ling Lan was stunned for a moment. Wasn’t she the newbie? Ling Lan understood that her opponent had a misunderstanding. An idea flashed through her mind. “Yes. The newbie has a huge background. He has a good father.” This was the perfect opportunity for her to create trouble for her father.
As expected!
Lin Five had a sudden thought. The newbie’s father wanted strong mecha operators to help his son passed the mission but his enemies didn’t want that to happen. Hence, the enemy looked for the Flying Dragon Special Forces and asked them to stop his plans…
Ling Lan remembered something as her opponent kept quiet. She might not pass her evaluation even if she won the battle. If she made the other party angry, he might fail her.
Ling Lan felt nervous. She said, “Since we have reached this state, let me ask you. Did the newbie pass?”
Lin Five regained his senses when he heard the question. “According to the newbie’s performance, he failed.”
“Huh?” Ling Lan frowned. Which person’s performance are you referring to?
“A team mission requires cooperation and leadership. However, the long-range mecha operator could hardly look after himself. He didn’t lead his team.” Lin Five answered Ling Lan with respect. “I saw the fights at the start. You were the one who ordered the two mechas to attack me and injured one of my members to reduce the pressure on your team. You were also the one who held back two of your opponents. This gave your team an advantage over us.”
This person was the reason why his team lost so miserably.
The long-range mecha operator? Divine Blade? Why did they think that Divine Blade was the newbie? Ling Lan was puzzled.
It was not really Lin Five’s fault that he made the wrong judgment. When he knew that his opponent team consisted of a newbie and 5 other experienced mecha operators, he naturally took the weakest one as the newbie.
Divine Blade didn’t display his abilities much so he caught Lin Five’s attention. As for Ling Lan, no one would expect the newbie to appear more powerful than the experienced mecha masters.
“What if I want him to pass?” Ling Lan would not accept his answer. If the other party was not willing to pass her, she would tell him her true identity.
Lin Five wondered if this person owed the newbie’s father a favor. Would he be in any trouble if he couldn’t complete the favor? Lin Five admired strong operators. This mecha operator in front of him was a strong person. He didn’t want him to be in a difficult position. Hence, he said, “If you want him to pass, I will pass him.”
“That would be good. I owe you a favor.” Ling Lan put down her beam gun. She got what she wanted so there was no need to kill her opponent anymore. If she really defeated the Flying Dragon Special Forces team, her father would have a hard time explaining himself.
Ling Lan thought for a while and send a request to draw the match.
Lin Five was touched when he saw the notification. He didn’t expect his opponent to spare him even when he had the upper hand. A draw was better than being defeated. It saved him from humiliation and his commander might go easy on him when punishing him.
“Thank you senior! My name is Lin Five. Can I add you as a friend?” Lin Five said gratefully.
“Accept the request and we can talk about the rest later.” Ling Lan had to reject him. If he knew her real name, he would be able to find out who she was. Once Lin Five realized that he was fooled by her, he might kill her.
Lin Five was disappointed. However, he knew that powerful mecha operators wouldn’t add friends so easily. He pressed the accept button in a depressed mood. Before he left the virtual world, he passed the newbie.
“Lin Five, what is the result?” The minute Lin Five opened his login pod door, he saw numerous eyes staring at him.
He kept quiet for a moment. He hadn’t thought about how he should answer them.
“Are you mute? What happened in the end? Hello?” Zhua One grabbed Lin Five’s clothes and questioned him fiercely.
“Zhua One, Lin Five is my man. Don’t be too harsh on him.” Lin One pulled Zhua One’s hand away. He looked at Lin Five and said calmly, “Tell me, did you lose?” Lin Five’s expression told him that the result was not good.
“It was a draw.” Lin Five looked up and finally replied to them. The senior wanted him to help him. He must not expose him.
Lin Five dared to lie because he knew that there would be no records for this battle. Even if their commander went into the Mecha World to check, he would only find the written document of the result. In order to hide the location of the Flying Dragon Special Forces headquarters, they hacked the system when they log in for the battle. Hence, they couldn’t film the match.
The images for their match would automatically delete once they left the Mecha World. There was no way they could retrieve it. Only Lin Five knew the truth. If he didn’t want to reveal it, no one could expose him.
Everyone felt relieved at the results. They thought that Lin Five died together with his opponent so they didn’t suspect him. Only Ya Ten looked at him curiously. Ya Ten felt that even with Lin Five’s strength, it would be hard for him to kill the person who defeated Zhua Fifteen, Xu Eleven, and him.
Ya Ten felt that that person would never give Lin Five the chance to self-destruction. However, he was already out of the match so he kept his suspicions to himself.
“That means that the newbie passed the second mission.” A loud voice rang behind them.
“Commander.” Everyone tensed up. They didn’t expect their commander to appear.
Lin Five got nervous. He didn’t know if the commander would expose his lie.
“Tell me about the newbie.” The commander asked Lin Five about the newbie.
Lin Five looked at Ya Ten. Ya Ten understood him and replied immediately, “Commander, his long-range attacks are not bad but I can handle it.”
“What about his level?” The commander continued asking.
“He should be an elite ace,” Ya Ten replied firmly. He took quite some effort and had to use his ultimate technique to defeat his opponent.
“Seems like he took some effort to raise this person.” The commander relaxed a little. He finished his queries about the newbie and asked, “Zhua Fifteen, Xu Eleven, and you were defeated by the same person?”
Ya Ten nodded seriously. “He is very strong. Extremely strong.”
“Which one of us can defeat him?” The commander continued.
Ya Ten looked at his captain and then glanced at the other captains.
“I see. This person has the capabilities of our captains.” Who is he? There was no one like this in Ling Xiao’s division.
At this moment, someone ran in hurriedly and saluted the commander. “Commander, we have found him.”
“Who was it?” The commander raised his eyebrows.
“Sky God——Qi Yaoyang!”
