Chapter 1085 Not a Nice Person!
“I'm a reasonable person!” Ling Lan said calmly.
What a lie!
Not only did the new recruits who stood up to fight denied their regiment commander's words, even those on duty and the medical teams around the training grounds felt the same way.
Boss was definitely a person who was dominant, unreasonable and would use any ruthless methods to make them unable to say ‘No' to him!
“So, I'm giving you a chance to leave.” Ling Lan looked towards everyone coldly. “Out of the 427 of you, if one of you manages to strike me down, then all of you will be able to walk out of my clan freely.”
“Ah…” The 427 new recruits all shouted in surprise. Many of them had excited expressions on their faces and the light of ‘hope' was sparkling in their eyes.
Heh!
On the other hand, the veterans soldiers in Lingtian looked at these 427 recruits with sympathetic expressions in unplanned unison.
As expected, he was still Boss who would start a killing spree if they didn't obey him.
A few older mecha operators who were standing on the side remembered the time when they were arrogant in front of their regiment commander… Bittersweet feelings started to appear in their heart.
However, when they saw those arrogant new recruits, they actually felt their moods lighten up a bit.
‘Yes you brats. We're watching you. Just continue to be arrogant.' This was definitely not the feeling of schadenfreude.
Suddenly, Ling Lan seemed to have remembered something. She shook her head and said slowly, “Right… tsk, ask you to bring me down? That's probably too much of a demand for you lot!”
Ling Lan looked at these new recruits as if they were ants, “How about this? If one of you hit me with a good hit, I will declare you as winners!”
These words caused the 427 new recruits to have angry expressions on their faces. Pride was something no soldier lacked! Every one of them unconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands with limitless willpower burning in their eyes.
Although not everyone out of the 427 individuals wanted to leave, there were still soldiers who wanted to leave even though they saw improvements in their strength. However, this still shouldn't be a reason why they should endure being insulted by the top commander of the mecha clan.
Beat him! Despite having different goals, these 427 individuals now had one common goal.
The entire training grounds was quiet as it was split into two groups. On one side, there was Ling Lan with her hands behind her back and her signature cold expression on her face. On the other side, there were 427 individuals with hardened expressions. Everyone was prepared to attack and was only waiting for the order to attack.
In the group of 427 soldiers, Huo Zhenyu looked at the person who he now admired and felt a little bitter. In the past, he was somewhat considered an opponent who Ling Lan deemed as worthy, but now, he was only one insignificant person in this group of soldiers.
The promise they made one year ago! Despite him knowing that the difference between himself and that person was like heaven and earth, the scene in front of him still made Huo Zhenyu felt uneasy.
Perhaps Ling Lan had already forgotten their promise from back then!
“Begin!” Ling Lan's cold voice exploded in everyone's ears.
The row of new recruits who were closest to Ling Lan, around 10 or so, shouted and pounced towards Ling Lan with their weapons.
Despite being mad at Ling Lan's words, the new recruits didn't lose their cool. Everyone cautiously clumped together and attacked Ling Lan simultaneously.
Of course, they were also conducting a test. A test to determine just how strong their regiment commander was.
“Bam!” The pouncing soldiers were suddenly sent flying back by a strong force until they smashed into the hard ground.
They didn't even get close to their regiment commander and were swept off their feet just by their regiment commander's presence.
The remaining new recruits were stunned by this scene. The looked at their regiment commander with dumbfounded looks and forgot to continue their attacks.
Who could land on hit on him if he had this kind of power?
Ling Lan stood at the same place without moving a single inch. Her hands were still behind her back. Her eyes scanned the crowd and she calmly said in a mock apologetic tone, “It was my fault just now. I will now suppress my physical skills to the peak stage of Qi-Jin to make it fair for you.”
After saying that, Ling Lan's original dominant presence began to weaken. In the end, the presence she was giving off was similar to the peak stage of Qi-Jin.However, despite it being so, her presence's actual power was still two to three times stronger than actual peak stage Qi-Jin individuals…
However, there were 427 of them and most of them had reached the peak stage of Qi-Jin. Furthermore, many of them had even reached the optimal peak. It was only that they hadn't found a catalyst to advance into the domain stage yet. From the looks of things, their regiment commander was indeed giving them a fair fight by suppressing his powers to the peak stage of Qi-Jin. After all, it was 427 people attacking him with some even stronger than him by a small amount.
Now, all the new recruits were under the impression that their regiment commander was definitely a domain realm master and not just any domain realm master, it was possible that he was a t.i.tled domain realm master.
“Begin!” Ling Lan ordered again.
However this time, no one made a move. The row of new recruits who were getting closer to Ling Lan looked at Ling Lan with hardened expressions in hopes to find an opening to attack.
However soon, everyone began to swear and cuss in their minds.
Sh*t! Why could their regiment commander just stand there casually and be perfect without any openings?
Just like that, it was a stalemate for half a minute. Ling Lan raised one of her eyebrows slightly. “Looks like I have to make a move.”
‘Yes, only if you move, we will have a chance to find an opening.' All the recruits were not moving because of this thought.
However, in the next second, the expressions of the recruits quickly changed.
“Too fast!” Ling Lan, who was originally standing in front of them, suddenly disappeared.
Boom, boom, boom… This was the sound of fists. .h.i.tting flesh.
Ah, ah, ah… This was the sound of pained screams.
Bam, bam, bam… This was the sound of heavy objects falling onto the ground.
The area in the center of the 427 soldiers was in a state of chaos.
Ling Lan entered no man's land with hands moving around with grace. Wherever she went, there would be people sent flying. This caused the entire new recruit group to be thrust into a state of chaos.
“Too merciless.” A mecha operator spectating on the side couldn't help but shake his head from the scene.
“How long do you think our regiment commander will take to take down these new recruits?” asked another mecha operator while smiling.
“That would depend on our regiment commander's mood.” They didn't dare to guess the mood their unpredictable regiment commander.
“It's actually better for them to have fainted in the beginning from our regiment commander's presence.” One mecha operator saw one new recruit spat out blood in mid-air. His face instantly twitched, and a sense of familiarity instantly struck him. Back then, he also went through the same thing.
“Heh, you think newbies who don't know the truth will understand our regiment commander's mercilessness?” Another mecha operator heard those words and instantly laughed out loud.
“Only after experiencing such an unforgettable pain, would they be able to understand that in our mecha clan the person who they should never provoke is our regiment commander.” Sighed one person.
“There's a very big problem with your words. In our mecha clan, those who we shouldn't provoke isn't just our regiment commander, right?” reb.u.t.ted someone.
Those mecha operators all suddenly thought of something and all s.h.i.+vered in unison.
One mecha operator hugged himself in an exaggerated manner and said frustratingly, “Alright, alright, don't talk about that topic Just thinking about it gives me the chills.”
In their mecha clan, whether it was team leaders or department heads from logistics, no one was nice!
