Chapter 844: Not Following Command!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ai Liang asked Ling Lan as he was standing back up, “When did you plan this?”
“When you were dodging my whip,” Ling Lan replied indifferently.
“Did you know my domain concept from the start?” Ai Liang continued asking as he was curious as to know why he had lost.
“No. However, when you retreated instead of continuing your attack, I knew that something amiss.” This was partly true.
Ling Lan didn’t dodge because she had found out what Ai Liang’s domain concept was, it was Phantasm. The silver energy blade that attacked her was fake. However, the force behind some of the attacks was real, so she had to differentiate the real attacks and the fake attacks. If she had entered a domain space where there were many real and fake objects, she might not be able to differentiate them so quickly. Luckily, there was only one virtual object in Ai Laing’s domain space, thus the fight ended before it even started, as her Profound Insight gave her the answer directly.
“So why did you stand still when you noticed something was amiss with my attacks?” Ai Liang was shocked.
“I do not have an offensive type domain (A lie), so if I want to subdue you, I needed for you to get close. Hence, I was prepared to get hurt.” Ling Lan would not reveal her true ability to her opponent. She was happy to let him misunderstand her capabilities.
Ai Liang gave a bitter smile that was filled with regret. He didn’t expect the young Ling Lan to be so harsh on himself in order to win, this factor basically cemented his lost to Ling Lan. It seemed like the years of peace made him lose his edge. He became conservative and afraid of getting hurt.
“The technique you used is a territory technique, right? So why did you say that we should use our most powerful single-target attack?” Ai Liang shook his head and sighed. If Ling Lan didn’t ask him to use his most powerful single-target attack, he would have used his territory technique which made full use of his domain concept. That way, Ling Lan would not have won so easily.
Suddenly, Ai Liang had a thought. He looked at Ling Lan in shock. He just realized that his opponent had started his plan right from the start of the battle.
“You never planned to use your most powerful single-target attack at all.” Ai Liang felt regret. Why did he listen to Ling Lan’s suggestion so easily? If he didn’t, this battle would have ended differently (This was impossible).
Ling Lan just played with her short whip indifferently. She didn’t reply to Ai Liang.
“The younger generations are getting stronger. I lost.” Ai Liang finally admitted defeat. Just now, he was still angry at Ling Lan for going back on his words. Now, he no longer thought this way as it was his fault for getting fooled. This was enough for him to admit defeat sincerely.
“Thank you. If you had strengthened your territory technique with your Phantasm concept, the results might have been different. I made you think too deeply about the situation, thus I managed to gain an advantage through your indecisiveness,” Ling Lan replied truthfully. If she really entered her opponent’s virtual territory with his domain concept, it would have taken some time for her Profound Insight to differentiate the fake from the real. She might even have to reveal some of her true powers before she managed to break his technique. It could be said that her opponent’s ability got restricted when he chose to strengthen his most powerful single-target attack with his domain concept.
Originally, Ling Lan wanted to use her most powerful single-target attack at the start. However, when she noticed that her opponent was not as strong as she had taught, she changed her mind. She wanted to know what her opponent’s domain concept was. It had to be said that Ling Lan was lucky as a random suggestion restricted her opponent so much.
Ai Liang got his answer so he went back to Song Yiqing’s side calmly. Song Yiqing was already feeling dejected. He asked weakly, “What do you want me to do?”
“Go to the mecha hold and prepare for the battle!” Ling Lan turned serious.
Song Yiqing got a shock. “There is a battle?”
“Do you think DEFCON 1 is a joke?” Ling Lan smiled coldly. “Five minutes later, your 224 Mecha Clan must all appear at the mecha hold.”
“Since I agree to listen to you, I will do it,” Song Yiqing gritted his teeth. He wouldn’t go back on his words. This was his principle.
“That’s good...” The moment Ling Lan finished speaking, she turned into a cloud of smoke before disappearing from the scene. The mist that affected their vision also disappeared and they were able to see properly again. Weirdly enough, the base was still as dry as before, it was as though the mist just now was just an illusion.
Song Yiqing’s dejected expression slowly returned calm again. He held his hand up and felt the air in front of him. It was not humid anymore. Ling Lan had left.
“He is a mist element domain realm master. We entered his domain space right from the start,” Song Yiqing said nonchalantly. “It’s reasonable that we lost.”
“Young Master Qing, are you really going to listen to him?” Ai Liang whispered.
“One must honor his bet.” Song Yiqing smiled. “It’s worth losing this wager.”
Song Yiqing had a complicated expression on his face, as only he knew that making this bet, he wouldn’t lose as both of the results were beneficial to him.
Ai Liang didn’t say anything else. Although Song Yiqing was an inconspicuous person in the Song family, he still couldn’t understand him, even after following him for two years.
Soon, Song Yiqing brought his 224 Mecha Clan to the mecha hold. Just like what he said, he was someone who honored his bet. He would not go against Ling Lan’s order. Thus, within five minutes, he had rushed to the mecha hold.
At this moment, Xu Shiming’s scouts team finally received a reply from the JMCs. The JMCs signalled for them to get to the ejection ports.
Xu Shiming raised his fist in the air. They wasted some time but fortunately, it wasn’t too long. They still had time to scout their enemy’s route.
“Hello, I’m your JMC...” A rough voice suddenly appeared in the JMC channel. The hands of the member of the scouts team who was moving his mecha into the ejection port trembled when he heard the rough voice, which caused him to enter the wrong instructions to the mecha, causing his mecha to almost topple over. Luckily, his reaction speed was quick and his mecha piloting skills were impressive, so he managed to stabilize his mecha.
“F**k, who are you?” The member couldn’t help but scold the owner of the rough voice. ‘You shouldn’t harm someone like this.’
“F**K, who are you talking to?” The man with the rough voice got unhappy and yelled.
“Damn it, who on earth are you? Where are our JMCs?” The member of the scouts team got angry.
“I’m the JMC. Who are you looking for? Argh! This is so embarrassing. I’m not doing it anymore,” The owner of the rough voice shouted in the channel.
Slap! “Ah!” Before the member of the scouts team could shout back, a loud slap was heard and a shrill cry of pain followed after.
“Erm, I’m sorry. Our temporary JMC is not following commands.” A refreshing voice of a lady sounded in the channel, and she sincerely apologized to the member of the scouts team.
