Senior Colonel Mi's eyes lit up in antic.i.p.ation when he received Ling Xiao's order . He turned around and said to Ling Lan, “Ling Lan, the two virtual missions are over . The third mission will be held in the real world . ”

Ling Lan told him her guess, “Since I have been tested for my solo abilities as well as my leaders.h.i.+p, the third mission probably has nothing to do with a mecha . Theory is too boring so it will not be tested . That means that only physical skills is left . ”

Senior Colonel Mi nodded . “You're right . ”

This young man was a strong and intelligent mecha operator and his physical skills reached the domain realm too . He was born to be a captain . The more Senior Colonel Mi looked at Ling Lan, the more he liked him . He wanted to get Ling Lan into his special forces .

Unfortunately, he needed to make sure that Ling Lan's entire team was strong before he could let them into the special forces . Senior Colonel Mi controlled his urge and decided to give Ling Lan two more years . If Ling Lan's team managed to hit the criteria of the special forces, he would invite him in . For the sake of Ling Lan, he was willing to lower his expectation for his team members . They only had to pa.s.s . They didn't need to excel .

Ling Lan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what Senior Colonel Mi said . She was confident in her physical skills .

“I wonder who my opponent will be this time?” Ling Lan looked at Senior Colonel Mi and wanted to get an answer from his expression . She saw the smile and antic.i.p.ation in his eyes . Her heart stopped . “Don't tell me that my opponent is you . ”

“You are right . However, there is no reward for guessing correctly . ” Senior Colonel Mi teased her unexpectedly . He rarely teased anyone .

Domineering Blade and his other team members got excited the moment they heard that their commander was going to fight . They hurriedly asked, “Commander, can we watch the match?”

It was a rare opportunity to watch their commander in action . They were all in the Qi-Jin realm . It was an honor for them to watch a battle of such high caliber . They did not want to miss this opportunity .

Senior Colonel Mi hesitated for a moment . He looked at Ling Lan . After all, this was concerning about Ling Lan's secret .

Ling Lan nodded nonchalantly . In her second mission, she had already revealed her true strength . She didn't mind revealing more to them . She trusted Senior Colonel Mi since he was sent by her father . Even if things got out of hand, her father would help her solve it . This was the advantage of having a father who was a Regiment Commander . She could do things without any worry .

Senior Colonel Mi felt grateful . A fight between two domain realm warriors would benefit Domineering Blade and the other four people greatly .

However, in order to protect Ling Lan, Senior Colonel Mi reminded the five people . “Only the five of you are allowed to view the match . Do not call anyone else . ”

The five people were disappointed . They were planning to ask their comrades to come .

“Don't be greedy . You all are lucky enough to get this opportunity . ” Senior Colonel Mi couldn't help but smile when he saw their expressions .

They were indeed lucky . Out of more than 300 people, Ling Lan chose them . They were powerful but not irreplaceable . Through the match today, they managed to gain many insights .

Senior Colonel Mi believed that if they befriend Ling Lan now, they might be able to gain even more benefits in the future . Ling Lan was Ling Xiao's only child . He would definitely be Ling Xiao's successor . If the five of them took care of their relations.h.i.+p with Ling Lan carefully, they might be able to even benefit their next generation .

Everyone left the virtual world and came to the training dojo of the special forces .

Ling Lan looked at the excited Senior Colonel Mi and felt frustrated at her father . He loved to give her powerful opponents, whether it was in the virtual world or in the real world .

Ling Lan had reached the domain realm but she felt pressure and a sense of danger from Senior Colonel Mi . She knew that he had reached the domain realm too and was even slightly stronger than her . If she had a choice, she didn't want to fight with Senior Colonel Mi . It would be a hard battle .

However, Ling Lan would not back out . Since it had been decided, she would do her best . This was her fighting principle——no fear, no retreating, no bullying .

Ling Lan was surprised when she saw the training dojo . She expected it to be like a battle stadium with an arena and all kinds of high tech gadgets protecting the area . However, it was just a vast stadium with high walls surrounding it .

There was a dilapidated door leading to the training dojo . The door was rusty . It was so old it might break if someone kicked it .

Ling Lan recalled the broken warehouse where the login pods were . The headquarters of the 23rd Division was shabby . It was like an abandoned military base .

Senior Colonel Mi smiled when he noticed the puzzled expression on Ling Lan's face . “You saw through it?”

“Yes . It looks old but I believe that only people who have reached the domain realm would be able to destroy this door . ” Ling Lan touched the door and understood what was going on .

“Ever since the First Men's Military Academy was attacked by our enemy, all the military bases strengthened its defense system . Some hid their bases while others built protective covers over them . We decided to make it looked dilapidated so that even if the enemies see it through their satellites, it would just seem like a normal old military base,” said Senior Colonel Mi .

“Creating an illusion for our enemies . ” Ling Lan understood him .

“Yes . ” Senior Colonel Mi sighed . “We have too many enemies . We need to make the necessary precautions . Don't look down on this place . This military base is not as simple as it looks . ”

Ling Lan nodded . Little Four said that all signals were blocked here . Only a certain signal could be used in this base . This was to prevent hackers from hacking into their systems and exposing the location of the base .

They walked into the training dojo with the door closing behind them . No one else could enter the dojo now . Senior Colonel Mi told Ling Lan that the walls were protected by electricity . If anyone tried to climb over the walls… they would die from electrocution . Even if they didn't, they would still be heavily injured .

There was no protective equipment in the training dojo . Senior Colonel Mi told Domineering Blade and the other four people, “Stay further away . If you all cannot handle it, leave the dojo . Do not push yourself . ”

The five people looked at each other . They had reached the highest-tier of Qi-Jin realm . As long as the commander didn't use his domain realm power, they would be able to handle it .

They thought that Ling Lan was around the same level as them . Hence, if their commander wanted to a.s.sess Ling Lan, he would not use his domain realm power . If he did, he would immediately knock Ling Lan out .

They never expected it to be a domain realm battle . When they realized this, they almost died from the energy created in the battle .

Ling Lan walked into the dojo . She stepped on the hard floor and said calmly, “This place is good . It feels like the real battlefield . ”

There were all kinds of protective s.h.i.+elds around an arena . The effects of each move were simulated by technology . That made it seemed fake . Ling Lan was not used to it . She was satisfied that Senior Colonel Mi brought her to this place .

“Seems like you feel the same way as I do . The arena feels fake . I cannot fight to my heart's content there . ” Senior Colonel Mi admired Ling Lan even more now .

Physical skills were not meant to be simulated . It was meant to be used in a real battle . It could kill you . The power of physical skills were enormous . It was not something that could be simulated by technology .
