When Ling Lan defeated a member of the Flying Dragon Special Forces, everyone was dumbfounded .

Ice Spirit, Crazy Warrior, and Divine Blade were suspicious of Ling Lan's recruit ident.i.ty . They were also suspicious as to whether their opponents were really from the Flying Dragon Special Forces .

Of course, they knew that their opponent was indeed powerful . Ice Spirit and Divine Blade were at a disadvantage . Crazy Warrior had the upper hand but that was because Ling Lan injured his opponent's right arm at the start of the battle . If not, he would be in the same situation as Ice Spirit and Divine Blade .

Ice Spirit, Crazy Warrior, and Divine Blade were happy . With his abilities, Ling Lan could enter the Flying Dragon Special Forces . However, he chose to come to the 23rd Division . They were proud of their division . Not everyone wanted to go to the Flying Dragon Special Forces .

Ling Lan's performance inspired these three operators . They started attacking furiously . Those that were in a disadvantage managed to regain some of their stances . Crazy Warrior even forced Jiao Thirteen into a dire situation .

Only three people were not affected by Ling Lan's Dance of Death . They were Domineering Blade, Devil Blade, and Lin Five . Their battle had entered the crucial stage . Domineering Blade and Devil Blade wanted to defeat their opponent using this chance while Lin Five fought hard to change the situation around . They were all focused on their battle so they didn't have the time to notice anything else .   ( Boxno vel . co m )

Domineering Blade was able to escape from his opponent's attack after he listened to Ling Lan and used the Chain Combo . He even allowed Devil Blade to find an opportunity to snipe his opponent, allowing them to gain the upper hand .

Domineering Blade had a sudden realization . Could it be that the Chain Combo was both a defensive skill as well as an offensive skill? Most people were distracted by its offensive power so they disregarded its defensive ability .

If that was the case, did it mean that other offensive techniques could be used as a defense too?

Domineering Blade got excited after having this thought . He wanted to experiment with his idea immediately . However, he still had an opponent he had to win against . His opponent was very strong so he couldn't afford to make any mistakes . He had to control his excitement and focus on defeating his opponent with Devil Blade .

Domineering Blade knew that Ling Lan must have known about the defensive ability of the Chain Combo . This was why he ordered him to use this technique just now . He didn't know if Ling Lan researched about this or he found out by coincidence .

Domineering Blade was right . The Chain Combo could be used both as an offensive and defensive attack .

Ling Lan didn't realize this herself . She saw Zhao Jun using the Chain Combo in the Grand Mecha Tournament to turn the tide around and realized its defensive potential .

She was enlightened . She experimented with many other techniques in the learning s.p.a.ce and found out that quite a few of the techniques could be used to attack and defend at the same time . The Chain Combo was the most powerful dual usage technique . Its offensive power was as strong as its defensive power .

However, not everyone would be able to use the Chain Combo as a defensive technique . It required a lot of experience . The operator needed to predict the attacks of their opponent so that they would know how to defend against it . Only mecha operators that had activated their sixth sense would be able to make such predictions .

Hence, in reality, the risk was high when Domineering Blade used the Chain Combo to defend himself just now . But, Ling Lan remembered that Domineering Blade's ultimate technique on paper was the Chain Combo . Even if it was a cover-up, Domineering Blade must still be confident in his Chain Combo to write it as his ultimate technique blatantly .

Ling Lan decided to take the risk . She felt that there was only a 60% chance of succeeding but in the virtual world, this percentage was enough for her to take the bet .

If this was the real world, Ling Lan would not take the risk . It would be a life-or-death situation . Ling Lan couldn't play around with other people's life . In the virtual world, the worst consequence for her would be failing the mission and losing her chance to form a team . She could still bear with this consequence .

Domineering Blade wielded his giant sword and attacked Lin Five without any hesitation . He made up his mind that he would defeat his opponent today . Lin Five's beam s.h.i.+eld was used up so he was in a worse state that Domineering Blade . If he made a mistake, he would suffer heavier damage . Domineering Blade knew this and attacked ferociously . Devil Blade's long-range attacks also gave Lin Five more stress .

The two of them wanted to force Lin Five to make a mistake under such huge stress .

Unfortunately, Lin Five was powerful . He was the top 5 within his battle team . He was the elite among the elites . A moment of failure could force him into a dire state but he would not be defeated just like this . He managed to survive after a round of intense fighting .

“d.a.m.n!” Devil Blade started to get agitated when he noticed Lin Five getting used to their combined attacks .

“Devil Blade, keep calm . We will do it slowly . ” As a captain, Domineering Blade was more patient . He knew that if they couldn't finish the battle quickly, just fight it slowly .

“But Ling Lan…” Devil Blade remembered that Ling Lan was fighting two opponents . Would he be able to withstand their attacks? This worry caused him to lose his patience .

“There is no need to worry about this . Ling Lan is stronger than we think . ” None of the Flying Dragon Special Forces members came to help Lin Five . This meant that their teammates, including Ling Lan, was able to hold their opponents back .

“What we need to do now is to focus on defeating him . This is the only thing we can do . We must believe in our teammates,” Domineering Blade replied calmly .

Ling Lan had made her intentions clear when she told Devil Blade to help Domineering Blade . If Devil Blade wanted to help Ling Lan, they must defeat Lin Five . This was the task a.s.signed to them .

“I understand!” Domineering Blade's reminder enlightened Devil Blade and he regained his composure . No one came to help Lin Five so their teammates must be working hard to fight their opponents . Hence, he must persevere too . He must trust Ling Lan .

The two of them were clear that their opponent was the strongest among the Flying Dragon Special Forces team . If they couldn't defeat him, they would not be able to win .

Devil Blade and Domineering Blade wanted to defeat the Flying Dragon Special Forces team badly . They wanted the Flying Dragon Special Forces to know that in this world, they were not the best mecha operators . The Elite Blade Battle Team was just as strong as them .

Domineering Blade waved his sword and attacked Lin Five again . His speed was slower and his attacks were less violent . However, every attack was clear and precise . The angle of the attack was also calculated accurately .

Lin Five became more serious . He felt Domineering Blade's attack getting slower but the pressure that he exerted increased tremendously . Drops of cold sweat formed on his back . If he was not experienced enough, he might have been hit several times .

The sniper which was cooperating with Domineering Blade became stronger too . He became calm and focused . Just a moment ago, Lin Five was unable to feel the presence of the sniper anymore . As compared to the frantic attacks just now, a silent Devil Blade was more frightening . He was like a poisonous snake waiting to give a lethal strike to its prey . If Lin Five made any mistake, he knew that he would be hit by the sniper .

Lin Five's back was drenched with sweat . He felt as though a knife was hanging above him, preparing to fall down and kill him at any moment .

Lin Five was in a dangerous situation . The high amount of stress would tire him out very soon . Once he got tired, he would make a mistake . Mistakes were lethal in a battle between powerful mecha operators . If he lost to these two people, he would be unable to face the Flying Dragon Special Forces anymore .

Lin Five s.h.i.+vered in fear as he recalled the terrible punishments his commander gave . He calmed down and said to himself, “Seems like I have to use my ultimate technique . ” He would be scolded by his commander for breaking a rule but it was better than losing .

When Ling Lan escaped from the beam shots, Xu Eleven's face turned pale .

Xu Eleven was devastated . Zhua Fifteen and him were specially trained by the Federation in their secret base . They were born with exceptional talents and their physical const.i.tution was at [SS] rank . He knew that in their batch, there was another prodigy that had a [SSS] rank in both his physical const.i.tution and his spiritual power . The Federation regarded him as the next Ling Xiao . No, he might be even stronger than Ling Xiao in the future .

They grew up together in the secret base . They had the best resources and were given the best gene agent . When they were 10 years old, they were given agents to activate their talents . Their instructors were all domain level and imperial level operators . There was even a G.o.d-cla.s.s operator too .

They were taught to become the strongest mecha operators in the Federation . In the Scout Academy, the youngest child that entered the virtual world was 13 years old . In their base, they were allowed to enter the virtual world the moment their talent was activated . At that time, they were only 10 years old .

If a child didn't activate his talent when he was 10 years old, he would be sent away . No one knew where these children were sent to .
