“No!”

Not only was the primary personality unable to accept this reality, but the calm personality also couldn't accept it too.

Although there were different personalities, all of them had a similarity. They didn't accept failure.

“There's still a chance.”

This strong belief stimulated Luo Lang. His eyes widened and his hand speed, which had already reached the maximum, instantly accelerated again. At that moment, it was actually comparable to Ling Lan's hand speed.

The primary personality and the calm personality were entirely focused so they didn't realise that while they were unwilling to accept defeat and were looking for an opportunity to break through, the two personalities reached the same resonance. They managed to merge perfectly. This Luo Lang wasn't a combination of the primary personality and the calm personality. It was an entirely new Luo Lang.

This new Luo Lang had the calmness of the calm personality and the powerful mecha piloting skills of the primary personality. Because these two personalities merged perfectly, Luo Lang's spiritual power, which didn't reach the requirements just now, increased immediately to the point where he could execute Ling Lan's movements.

“Let me pa.s.s!” Luo Lang gritted his teeth as his fingers created afterimages as it moved through the control panel. Luo Lang should have felt an immense backflash from going this fast but currently, Luo Lang felt nothing. There was only Boss in his eyes. While he watched Boss elegantly phasing through the various mechas, he was mimicking Boss's movement with almost a 100 percent accuracy.

Luo Lang's mecha barely sc.r.a.ped by his opponent's mecha. At the most crucial moment, Luo Lang succeeded.

Luo Lang was completely honed in on Ling Lan so he didn't have the time to feel happy. He needed to follow behind Boss's footsteps closely to get by the next set of guards.

At the back, Li Lanfeng, who noticed Luo Lang's almost miraculous movement, narrowed his eyes. He was very observant so it was natural that he noticed that Luo Lang had gotten stronger in that split second.

Actually, when he saw Luo Lang following Ling Lan's actions, Li Lanfeng already knew what Luo Lang wanted to do.

He had thought Luo Lang was going to fail.

When Luo Lang almost alerted the guards, Li Lanfeng almost had a heart attack. But, before he could provide help, Luo Lang managed to evade the mecha successfully.

His instantaneous s.h.i.+ft in movement proved that the current Luo Lang was more powerful than the Luo Lang a moment ago.

“I can't lose.” Li Lanfeng's black eyes turned even darker and deeper.

About Ling Lan's maneuvers, Li Lanfeng felt that he had enough spiritual power to execute it. However, his hand speed, due to his physical const.i.tution, had always limited his improvement. Although he managed to solve his physical const.i.tution problem after meeting Ling Lan, he had already missed the prime time to grow stronger. Thus, his body still restricted his growth.

In actual fact, in Lingtian, Li Lanfeng's mecha piloting skill was seventh out of all the mecha operators.

Ling Lan had laid the foundations for Qi Long and Luo Lang's mecha piloting future. With the help of their amazing talent, there was nothing much to say about their hand speed. They were the top two within Lingtian. The two vice commanders, Liu Furong and Yang Mingzhi, Brigade Leader Gu, and Li Lanfeng's best buddy, Zhao Jun, all had faster hand speeds than Li Lanfeng.

What about Ling Lan?

Was Ling Lan even a human? This ranking was only for humans.

Of course, having quick hands didn't represent your real mecha piloting ability. If they really had a fight, Li Lanfeng might not lose to the people who were ranked higher than him. In Lingtian, there were two people recognised as the most difficult opponents. They were Qi Long and Li Lanfeng.

Qi Long was hard to fight with because he would get stronger and crazier as the fight went on. He was like an unkillable c.o.c.kroach. This teasing nickname had been following him for a long time was validated even more the more they spent time with him. Although many people from Lingtian still didn't know who or what a c.o.c.kroach was, since their boss said it, it must be a very strong person or animal, right?

Imagine fighting an undying opponent. What could you do to him? You would only get more and more tired the more you fought him. In the end, there would only be one thought in your mind, why hasn't it ended yet? Fine, I think I should just admit defeat.

As for Li Lanfeng, no one knew how to fight with him yet. Every single move he made always looked like a trap. If you guard against it, it might be nothing. If you don't, fine, a punch was coming right at your face. The longer you fought with him, the more frustrated you would get before finally, you wouldn't feel like fighting anymore. Ahh! I got fooled again! I admit defeat! I give up! Please let me go!

Hence, even if Li Lanfeng had suddenly evolved successfully like Luo Lang, based on his limiting hand speed, he wouldn't be able to jump and leap like him. He could at most be as fast as Qi Long, and that was his best already.

This was the hard truth of the limitations of physical const.i.tution. It was like a natural chasm laid in front of Li Lanfeng.

His crippling physical const.i.tution forced Li Lanfeng to find other ways to catch up with Ling Lan, and because of his earlier efforts, he finally managed to evolve in that opportune moment.

On the bright side, Li Lanfeng's spiritual power was stronger than Ling Lan. Using that and his evolved innate talent to his advantage, he managed to find a new route using his spiritual power. This route didn't require any heaven-defying technique like what Ling Lan was doing. It was just a seemingly useless ability. But, Li Lanfeng knew that this was what he wanted now. This ability could help him make more of his limited hand speed.

Being provided with all the possible routes he could take, but the final decision was always made by Li Lanfeng personally. With this ability, he felt more confident in becoming the number one underling directly below Ling Lan.

Yes, Li Lanfeng never gave up this goal. Even though he fell in love with Ling Lan and was willing to stay beside her, he never gave up his goal.

This was because he became greedier. He didn't just want to become the most important person in Ling Lan's heart. He also wanted to become the most powerful person among her companions. He would never give up either of his goals.

When Li Lanfeng noticed that Luo Lang had succeeded, he completely ignored him.

Of course, he didn't have a choice, it was because he was going to face the same predicament as Luo Lang had just now.

Just like Luo Lang, if he was unable to control his mecha accurately, Li Lanfeng's mecha would alert the guards.

The route that Li Lanfeng chose was different from Ling Lan's route.

Ling Lan's route was the shortest, almost being a straight line. But, undoubtedly, it was the most difficult too. Only a monster like Ling Lan would be able to use this route without alerting the guards. Luo Lang, who had evolved, could only barely manage to sc.r.a.pe by. Many times, he almost b.u.mped into a guard. This further proved that there was a huge gap between Luo Lang and Ling Lan's mecha piloting skills.
