Chapter 893: Meant What I Said!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Boss, you’re finally awake. That’s great,” Little Four shouted happily.
He had been trembling in fear all these while. He was afraid that he would make a mistake in his calculation and caused his Boss and the two people beside him to die. He would never do such a thing again. It was too frightening. Little Four felt that after this, his lifespan had decreased by a few thousand years. Although he still had many thousands of years left to live, he couldn’t stand this torment anymore. If he did this a few more times, all his lifespan would get burned off like wood in a coal furnace. One day, his chip would burn from working too furiously.
Well, as the great Little Four, he would never admit that he was so nervous that his chip got too hot and burnt a little.
Little Four quickly passed the control of the mecha back to Ling Lan. Ling Lan reloaded her beam gun and carefully aimed it at the Hailiyan mecha operators behind her. She fired multiple times.
“Boss!” Qi Long shouted excitedly when he saw his Boss attacking again.
“Sorry to make you worry. I’m fine now. It’s time to take revenge for our comrades.” Ling Lan’s voice was calm but Qi Long and his team member could feel the killing intent through the commlink.
They were already exhausted but after hearing her words, strength suddenly returned to their bodies. Yes, their comrades sacrificed themselves so that they could escape. How could they go back to their base without doing anything for them in return?
“Yes, regiment commander.” Qi Long and his team members shouted. They raised their weapons and aimed it at their enemies.
Gu Dongyang and the other people who had received this news rushed over to Ling Lan after killing their opponents
But, Zhao Jun remained behind. He wanted to help his Boss too but the opponent he picked was a regiment commander of an ace mecha clan stationed in Base Yaqi who was at the peak of ace, while he was only an elite ace. He was a level lower than his opponent so he was not having an easy time against his opponent.
Zhao Jun always wanted to enter the peak of ace but no matter how hard he worked, he just always lacked that one step.
That one step had held him back for almost a year. This was why Zhao Jun was frustrated and so determined to achieve a breakthrough. In Lingtian, besides their regiment commander who was basically an anomaly in the world, Li Lanfeng, Qi Long, Luo Lang, and Xie Yi all entered elite ace. The rest of the people were still fine but Qi Long was different. If he never met Ling Lan, he would think that Qi Long was the person heaven was protecting. Qi Long came close to the peak of ace half a year after his advancement to elite ace. When they were practicing, Zhao Jun felt this.
What made Zhao Jun the most annoyed was, Qi Long was always improving. His situation was completely different from his. Zhao Jun also could feel that Qi Long hadn’t reached his bottleneck yet. He just needed a bit more time before he enters the peak of ace. He would face no difficulty at all in this process.
Zhao Jun was just a commoner from a three-star planet. He managed to reach this position mostly because of his talent but his stubborn personality played a part in his success too. He was unwilling to give up, and he almost never gave up. This personality trait allowed him to be on par with those heavenly gifted people.
Hence, he was unwilling to lose to an oddball like Qi Long. He didn’t mind losing to the monstrous Ling Lan but he couldn’t accept it when he lost to Ling Lan’s underlings who were younger than him.
Zhao Jun must defeat his opponent before he could help his Boss. This meant that he must advance to peak ace. Zhao Jun clutched the sword in his hand and attacked his opponent again. He completely stopped dodging and started attacking forcefully.
Since he knew what he had to do to win, he would look a chance to break through even if he had to face death. Hence, he couldn’t be scared of his opponent’s attack. He must welcome it and be offensive too. That was the only way he would get what he wanted.
“To win or die trying. I won’t die though. I still want to fight alongside Boss.” Li Lanfeng’s obsession had become his too. Maybe it was because Li Lanfeng kept talking about Ling Lan after he entered the army so he was influenced by him, but Zhao Jun felt that this was a good obsession. He was lucky to become a member of Lingtian. He treasured everyone inside. Just like Li Lanfeng, he was a lonely person in the past. He couldn’t bear to let go of these treasures he had worked so hard to acquire. To ensure that he wouldn’t get left behind, he must become stronger.
“I can only continue to fight with Ling Lan if I become stronger.” Boss Lan was just too talented. He didn’t need people that couldn’t catch up with him. Maybe this was why all the members of Lingtian worked so hard.
Zhao Jun realized he had found the reason why the people from Lingtian improved so quickly. They were all afraid of the same thing.
“In that case, I can’t lose to them! Let’s use this battle to prove that I meant what I said.” A strong fire of competitiveness burned within his eyes. He raised his giant sword and struck it at his opponent’s sword.
Bang! From the start of this fight, Zhao Jun was at a disadvantage but this time, he managed to throw his opponent off his feet. He was elated. He was always pressured by his opponent’s powerful strength throughout this fight but during that attack just now, that pressure simply had disappeared. It felt as though he was at the same level as his opponent.
‘Did I enter the peak of ace just now?’ This thought flashed passed Zhao Jun’s mind.
He saw his opponent charging at him again so he decided to confirm his suspicion.
Bang!
Another loud collision occurred. Zhao Jun managed to knock his opponent back easily again. It didn’t even feel forced.
“Hahaha...” Zhao Jun laughed heartily. He finally achieved his breakthrough and entered the peak of ace. He could be in talks about becoming an imperial operator now. He could now have some hope in himself to catch up with his Boss.
“Go and die.” Zhao Jun attacked his opponent ferociously, venting his frustrations when he was suppressed at the start.
Zhao Jun’s close combat skills were similar to Qi Long. They both liked to attack like madmen. Under such ferocious attack, his opponent got confused by the afterimages of fist coming towards his face.
Suddenly, two beams came from behind Zhao Jun. The beams came without a warning. The enemy mecha operator was too focused on fighting with Zhao Jun so he didn’t notice the beams that were coming towards him. The beams hit his cockpit and the mecha exploded. Burnt parts of the mecha were slammed heavily onto the ground before scattering randomly.
Zhao Jun was prepared for this. He retracted his giant sword and looked at the burning mecha indifferently. Then, he shouted, “Come with me. Let’s go help our regiment commander.” ‘Don’t blame me for being despicable. We were taught to be despicable when we have to.’ thought Zhao Jun. Gang fights were always better than fighting alone. If they could sneak attack, they would never attack face to face. It couldn’t be helped.
Hence, Zhao Jun defeated his opponent and brought his team to the border of Base 013 and Base Yaqi.
