“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.
