Chapter 1082 Prince Ling!

“I’m sorry. I’m at my breakthrough stage so my energy is unstable,” Ling Lan replied calmly.

So that was what was happening!

Yu Huan and Ke Yufeng felt enlightened. They experienced this stage before. To increase the success rate of advancing, they suppressed their Qi-Jin energy until there was enough acc.u.mulated. When everything was prepared, they would then focus on their breakthrough. It was not easy to suppress the overpowering Qi-Jin energy. Sometimes, they needed to use all their concentration to suppress it, causing them to lose awareness of what was happening around them. It was as if they were sleepwalking.

This would explain why the killing intent on Regiment Commander Ling was so strong at the beginning. It must be because he couldn’t suppress his energy fully so some of it leaked out. Even when he successfully retracted his killing intent, his cold aura leaked out.

However, was this breakthrough referring to the breakthrough to the domain realm?

The two of them exchanged glances with each other. They couldn’t see Ling Lan’s face clearly but they could tell that she was young. She was an amazingly talented youth. Besides those monsters from the Flying Dragon Special Forces, no one could be compared with her.

This must be a key youth the military must be grooming. No wonder, he was able to become a major general at such a young age and become the regiment commander of a t.i.tled super mecha clan. He even had the members of the North and South Stars as his subordinates.

Yu Huan and Ke Yufeng felt that they had gotten the answers for their questions so they started to pay more attention to Ling Lan. If this person didn’t die before he fully matured, he would definitely obtain a high position in the military.

Soon, Ling Lan left the command center with Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong.

Ke Yufeng still needed to finish his leaving procedure with Yu Huan so he arranged to meet Ling Lan an hour later at the camping ground for the handover.

Only Yu Huan and Ke Yufeng were left in the office.

“What do you think?” Yu Huan finally cleared away the smile on his face and asked Ke Yufeng for his opinion.

“Lingtian is not simple,” Ke Yufeng said calmly.

“Why do you say that?” Yu Huan asked seriously. There were a million soldiers in the base. He couldn’t pa.s.s everyone’s life to someone he didn’t know anything about.

“Yang Mingzhi seems like the one who directed the conversation but before he answers every question, he would always look at Major General Ling first.” Light flashed Ke Yufeng’s right hand and ten sparkling crystal beads were dancing on his palm. They spun around on his hand. Surprisingly, no noises were made. It appeared as though the ten crystal beads didn’t hit one another at all.

This was Ke Yufeng’s habit. When he needed to think carefully about something, he would use this method to clear his mind and make a final judgment on the matter.

“Liu Furong acts the same way too. His focus was always on Regiment Commander Ling. I even notice that he was a bit nervous,” Yu Huan agreed with Ke Yufeng. At the same time, he said his observations.

“As members of the North and South Stars, they wouldn’t be worried about each other. That means that he was worried about Regiment Commander Ling,” Ke Yufeng replied.

“That’s right. He was probably telling the truth when he said that he was in a bad state due to his breakthrough.” Yu Huan interlocked his fingers on his table and turned serious.

“You don’t think he is doing it deliberately?” Ke Yufeng smiled playfully.

“If Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong weren’t here, I might think this way. However, they’re here.” Yang Mingzhi’s expression softened. “You know Yang Mingzhi. He was known as the sliest person among the Seven Stars of the North. Do you think that he would allow his regiment commander to offend me the moment they enter the base?”

“That’s true. Yang Mingzhi isn’t stupid.” Ke Yufeng agreed with Yu Huan.

“Most importantly, who is Ling Lan? Is he really the one in control of Lingtian?” Yu Huan felt that if he could find the answers to these two questions, he would be able to make a decision.

“I remember that there is a young man with the surname Ling who made a name for himself during the battle on Planet Haijiao.” Ke Yufeng was in deep thought.

“Prince Ling?” Yu Huan leaned against the table and crossed his hands in front of his chest. “They wanted to protect him so they didn’t reveal his full name to the public.”

“However, everyone knows that the young man is the son of General Ling Xiao,” Ke Yufeng answered.

“You think it’s him?” Yu Huan raised his eyebrows.

“It is possible,” Ke Yufeng replied.

“It’s possible but he jumped levels and operated a G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha. His actions permanently damaged his body. This is the inspection result from all the military doctors in the hospital.” Yu Huan thought otherwise. “Do you think that Prince Ling would appear here and tell us that he was on the verge of a breakthrough?”

Were the military doctors so easy to fool?

“But the Ling family… they have the blood phoenix.” Ke Yufeng sighed.

“A legend is just a legend,” Yu Huan said firmly, “These are modern times.”

Really? Then, why were there physical skills? Why were there innate talents? Why did the domain concept appear? All these couldn’t be explained with modern technology.

However, this was how people were like. They respected strength and accepted strength. In their minds, these things were within the acceptable range of humans. However, things like coming back alive from the dead were against the nature of life. No one could understand it. Hence, in their minds, these legends would forever be legends. The blood phoenix, which was said to be able to revive in a sea of flames, just meant that the people from the Ling family were tougher and harder to die compared to the average person.

Since Yu Huan didn’t agree with what he said, Ke Yufeng didn’t continue.

“Forget it. We’ll find out about the Lingtian Mecha Clan one day. I’m not in a hurry.” Yu Huan didn’t get the answer he wanted so he decided to forgo it and continue helping Ke Yufeng with his leaving procedures.

Before the new mecha clan entered the base, the previous mecha clan wasn’t allowed to leave. This was to prevent any mistakes in the handing over process which might affect the strength of the base.

When Ling Lan walked out of the command center, she told Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong, “The mecha clan will be moving into the camping ground soon. The move and the communication within the base will be handled by the ten main leaders as well as Department Head Lin.”

“Regiment commander, what about you?” Liu Furong asked worriedly. Ling Lan was spending more and more time sleepwalking. Was it alright for no one to watch over him?

“The energy in my body has been acc.u.mulated to the maximum point. If I want to control it, I need all my strength. I won’t have the time and effort to care about the things happening in the mecha clan.” Ling Lan frowned.

She didn’t expect her opportunity to enter the imperial realm to happen when she was grooming her mecha clan. It caught her off guard.
