That was just an excuse! Li s.h.i.+yu stopped himself . The fact was, he neglected his teammate . If he had shown more concern towards Li Lanfeng, he would have noticed the change in his physical skills .
Li s.h.i.+yu felt guilty . He started reprimanding himself . He still didn't treat Li Lanfeng and Zhao Jun as his real friends . If it was his eldest cousin brother, he would have noticed any changes with him right away .
Li s.h.i.+yu knew that he was in the wrong . However, he was afraid of hurting Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng's feelings so he forced himself to maintain calm . He must make them believed that they were important to him . He would start treating them like his family from now on .
Li Lanfeng used one sentence to solve the potential trust crisis between them . Ling Lan smiled . Li Lanfeng was indeed a sly and cunning person . He managed to turn the situation around in just a split second .
Shen Rufei realized his instigation was useless . He was furious . This change in emotion caused him to reveal an opening to Li Lanfeng .
Li Lanfeng rushed towards Shen Rufei without any hesitation . He swung the broken chair leg and it formed lingering shadows in the air . “Bang, bang, bang . ” The two weapons collided with each other as the two people started fighting again .
The fights between soldiers were b.l.o.o.d.y and serious . They would not hold back unlike cadets in the military academies . Unless they couldn't find any weapons, soldiers wouldn't fight empty-handed . This was why the fights between soldiers were known as armed melee challenges .
Shen Rufei and Li Lanfeng fought with all their might . “Boom!” Li Lanfeng swung his weapon forcefully at Shen Rufei . Shen Rufei tilted his body to the side and dodged the attack . The weapon hit the ground and a crack formed on the floor . The crack stopped right in front of the crowd .
Ling Lan's prediction was accurate . She was certain about the capabilities of these two people . The force of a Qi-Jin level attack could only travelled at most 30 meters . If the crowd stayed further than 30 meters away from them, they would not be implicated .
The logistics commander smiled bitterly . Both the people who were fighting were higher ranked than him . How was he supposed to stop them?
The logistics commander looked at the floor and then s.h.i.+fted his gaze back onto the two people that were fighting . He told himself that he was too engrossed in watching the fight so he didn't notice anyone destroying public properties .
Shen Rufei was furious after dodging the attack . He wanted to kick Li Lanfeng .
Li Lanfeng moved and evaded the kick . His movements were weird and unpredictable . Qi Long, Luo Lang, Han Jijyun and Lin Zhong-qing saw his movements and stopped worrying about him .
They had been with Ling Lan for the longest time so they knew that was a unique skill created by their boss . It was the most suitable skill to be used in close-range combat .
Shen Rufei missed Li Lanfeng and kicked the floor instead . Cracks formed on the floor again . The logistics commander saw it and decided to brainwashed himself . “I didn't see anything…”
Li Lanfeng noticed that Shen Rufei was stuck so he immediately aimed his weapon at Shen Rufei's face . The force caused wind to form around him .
Shen Rufei had not regained his balance so there was no way he could dodge the attack . He gritted his teeth and forced himself to receive the blow with his weapon .
“Boom!” A loud noise erupted beside Shen Rufei's ear . The sound of the collision burst his eardrum as the weapon struck too close to his ears . Blood slowly flowed out of his ear .
Shen Rufei gasped in pain . The pain irritated him . He used his left hand to grab Li Lanfeng's right hand which was holding the weapon . He raised his weapon and slammed it down on Li Lanfeng with a hideous grin .
Li Lanfeng was shocked by the loud noise just now . However, he was further away from the weapons when they collided so he was not hurt . However, without the pain to stimulate him, he reacted slower than Shen Rufei and was caught by surprise . He was unable to escape .
In the face of such crisis, Li Lanfeng remained calm . He knew that he couldn't avoid Shen Rufei's attack so he decided to release all his spiritual power . He gasped and blood flowed out of his mouth . The spiritual power he released was far greater than what his body could handle . Hence, he received some internal injuries .
But, with the help of his spiritual power, Li Lanfeng was able to a.n.a.lyze Shen Rufei's attack and the weapon's trajectory .
There is a chance! Li Lanfeng saw an opportunity . He flicked his wrist and threw his weapon out and caught it with his left hand . He focused all his internal energy on his left hand and swung his left hand as hard as he could at Shen Rufei .
“Bang!” Another loud noise rang by their ear drums . Both weapons flew out of their hands .
The noise hurt both their eardrums this time . However, since Shen Rufei was hurt the second time, he was in a worse state the Li Lanfeng . More blood flowed out from both of his ears . It dripped onto his shoulders and stained his military uniform .
Clang! Clang! The two weapons fell on the floor . They rolled a few meters away before stopping . Everyone noticed that the two straight metal pipes were now badly dented and damaged .
“Bam!” The two people that lost their weapon had no choice but to use their fist .
Shen Rufei held onto Li Lanfeng tightly so Li Lanfeng couldn't escape . However, Shen Rufei couldn't dodge Li Lanfeng's retaliation too .
“Bam!” “Bam!” “Bam!” …
Their fist smashed onto each other again and again . Soon, both their fists were filled with blisters and wounds . They had forgotten all about battling techniques . They were just using raw brutal force to attack one another . It was a fight based on strength and stamina .
The members of Lingtian were silent but they clenched their fist tightly and prayed for Li Lanfeng . They didn't expect the gentle and cunning Li Lanfeng to have such a violent side to him too . They felt their adrenaline pumping through their veins .
“Three more attacks and the match will end . ” Ling Lan's smile got brighter .
Three attacks later, Shen Rufei suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood . He lost . The injuries from their Qi-Jin attacks as well as the physical injuries from the brawl acc.u.mulated inside him and it overwhelmed his body .
Li Lanfeng smiled at him sarcastically . He used all his energy left and punched Shen Rufei one last time .
Shen Rufei flew ten meters away and slammed forcefully onto the floor . He didn't stand up again . He had been knocked unconscious .
Li Lanfeng couldn't control himself anymore . He spit out some blood and fell to the floor .
A figure flashed in front of him and caught him in his arm .
Li Lanfeng looked up at the cold and handsome face . He smiled . “Ling Lan, I didn't embarra.s.s you, right?”
“You didn't . ” Ling Lan replied him softly . She couldn't see Li Lanfeng's face but she felt that his smile must be handsome . It should be a hopeful and lively smile .
Ling Lan understood how Li Lanfeng felt . His spectre abilities caused him to dominate the virtual world but in return, he gained a weak body . He couldn't pilot a mecha in real life . This was a huge blow to a man who wanted to become a powerful mecha operator .
Many people would have given up in their dreams and wallowed in self-pity . However, Li Lanfeng didn't . Although he had no chance of getting better, he still persevered for 20 years until he met Ling Lan…
Now, Li Lanfeng overcame his greatest hurdle, his weak body . Ling Lan believed that this man would create his own legacy soon .
After he heard Ling Lan's reply, Li Lanfeng closed his eyes happily and fainted . His body was still weaker than Shen Rufei but he managed to last longer because of his spiritual power . This was why he won .
Ling Lan carried him with both hands and shouted, “s.h.i.+yu!”
“Yes, captain!” Li s.h.i.+yu regained his senses and quickly rushed out .
Ling Lan pa.s.sed Li Lanfeng to Li s.h.i.+yu . Li s.h.i.+yu carried Li Lanfeng towards the crowd with Zhao Jun quickly coming over to help . They placed Li Lanfeng on a bench nearest to them .
Li s.h.i.+yu felt around Li Lanfeng's body . He realized that Li Lanfeng was hanging on by a thread . He immediately took out a pendant around his neck . There were three diamonds on the pendant . Li s.h.i.+yu felt around the pendants and three silver needles appeared in his hand .
No one saw how he did it but Li s.h.i.+yu stopped the heavy bleeding with his needles . Then, he flicked the pendant opened . There was a miniature medicine bottle in the pendant .
Li s.h.i.+yu gently opened the bottle . He pinched Li Lanfeng's chin and opened his mouth . Li s.h.i.+yu poured the medicine into his mouth .
The effects would be faster and better if the medicine was directly injected into the bloodstream . However, Li s.h.i.+yu rushed over here just now so he didn't bring his medical kit with him . He could only feed the medicine to Li Lanfeng .
Luckily, Li s.h.i.+yu's medicine were very effective . He believed that none of the emergency medicine in the Federation was as effective as his . It was just a small bottle but it took him two years to make it . It required a lot of time and effort to make this one bottle of medicine .
