"He has not left yet," the person replied.

Everyone felt enlightened. Lin Five was excited. Was the person that defeated them Sky G.o.d, Qi Yaoyang? He was the most powerful mecha operator after the 13 G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha masters. Lin Five didn"t feel shameful to lose to Qi Yaoyang. Qi Yaoyang was known as the invincible bug of the battlefield.

The commander thought about it. He felt that only Qi Yaoyang had the ability to defeat the newbies on his team. Although Qi Yaoyang specialized in close-combat and not long-range attacks, it didn"t matter much at his level. Qi Yaoyang was probably good at both but one of it was just stronger than the other.

"He showed you mercy." The commander saw the embarra.s.sed expression on Lin Five"s face and instantly understood what had happened. Seemed like they owed a favor to Qi Yaoyang.

"This will be the end of this matter." Since they had found the leader of their opponent"s team, there was nothing else they could do. The commander felt that he should have a nice discussion with Ling Xiao and Qi Yaoyang later.

"Commander, who is the newbie?" Zhua One saw that their commander leaving so he instantly shouted out his question. He was curious about the ident.i.ty of this newbie.

The other captains turned their heads when they heard him. They were curious too.

The commander sneered. "How would I know? However, you all can just keep a lookout for the battle team that just got formed today." The newbie must have a huge background. After all, he was able to get Ling Xiao and Qi Yaoyang to protect him. It was not difficult to find a person with that huge of a background in the military.

The commander was saying the truth. Ling Xiao only told him that he needed his help to a.s.sess a newbie. He would not interfere with their decision on whether the newbie pa.s.sed the mission or not. It was up to them. The commander wondered why Ling Xiao was so relaxed at that time but now, he knew that that general had planned everything ahead. Such a sly fox.

The commander felt frustrated. He went through many sufferings after he met Ling Xiao. He remembered that he was able to enter the Flying Dragon Special Forces because Ling Xiao rejected their offer. However, Ling Xiao pretended that he did it for him and asked him for many favors. What a despicable fellow!

Ling Lan left the battle arena after the decision to end the game in a draw was made. The moment she entered the atrium, she saw Senior Colonel Mi and her teammates staring at her with antic.i.p.ation. They asked her nervously, "What is the result?"

Ling Lan shrugged. "It is a draw."

"Mutual destruction?" Senior Colonel Mi asked again.

"Why do I need to do that?" Ling Lan raised her eyebrows.

"If you don"t defeat your opponent, how can you pa.s.s? The people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces always look down on outsiders…" Senior Colonel Mi suddenly paused. "Did you pa.s.s?"

"Yes. I pa.s.s!" Ling Lan asked him to check the notification on the optical supercomputer. When Lin Five pa.s.sed her, Ling Lan immediately received a notification.

"She pa.s.sed." Domineering Blade and the other members of Ling Lan"s team realized that they received the notification too. However, they were too focused on waiting for Ling Lan just now so they didn"t see the notification.

"That is good. That is good." Senior Colonel Mi was elated when he knew Ling Lan pa.s.sed. He instantly told General Ling Xiao the good news. He knew that General Ling Xiao was waiting for the results of the mission too.

Beep, beep! Ling Xiao received Senior Colonel Mi"s message. He felt complicated. He was happy, worried, and proud. He pondered for a moment before sending an order to Senior Colonel Mi. Then, he called someone. "Big Brother Yaoyang, sorry to keep you waiting."

"No problem. I just watched an arena combat compet.i.tion. Young people these days have bold thoughts." Qi Yaoyang"s laughter came from the other end of the call. "I have not entered the combat hall for more than ten years. I managed to get many inspirations today after watching this match."

"I am glad that I didn"t waste your time. I just wanted to tell you that Ling Lan pa.s.sed his second virtual world mission."

"Not bad. Did he get recognized by the Flying Dragon Special Forces or did he defeat them?" Qi Yaoyang asked curiously.

"It was a draw." Ling Xiao smiled happily. Even his eyes were smiling.

"Draw! The Flying Dragon Special Forces must have felt humiliated. I think that Cang Lang would come and look for you soon." Qi Yaoyang wanted to laugh at Ling Xiao"s plight. Cang Lang was not an easy person to deal with. He was also happy that Cang Lang got humiliated.

"Yes, he will come and find us soon." Ling Xiao purposely emphasized the word "us".

Qi Yaoyang felt his heart dropped. "Ling Xiao, did you scheme against me?"

"Why will I? For the sake of your son, you should think before you speak. You can log out of the virtual world now. It is not good for a Lieutenant General to stay in the virtual world for too long." Ling Xiao continued smiling. Before Qi Yaoyang could reply to him, he hung up.

Qi Yaoyang was certain that Ling Xiao framed him for something. He just didn"t know what it was. What did he mean by for the sake of his son? Was he threatening him?
