It's Not Easy To Be a Man 210+

Very soon, Qiao Ting had returned to where Zhao Jun and the others had set him up at the beginning. He noticed that Li Lanfeng had pulled quite a distance away from the other two Lingtian members, and a cold smirk tugged at the corners of his lips.
The reason he had not pressed his advantage but chose to run instead was that he did not want to fall into the opponents' encirclement again. He hoped to destroy the formation of these Lingtian mecha with his speed. It should be said that, based on the current situation, Qiao Ting had achieved his objective.
Qiao Ting's attitude had changed from his restless ambition of before to caution. The Lingtian Mecha Clan still had five members — if he was tricked by the opponents again and fell into effective self-destruct range, even he would not be able to confirm whether he would be able to hold off the frenzied actions of five mecha with this battered ace mecha of his. Qiao Ting had instigated this challenge fight to obtain unmatched glory; he did not want to become a stepping stone to fame for the Lingtian Mecha Clan. He absolutely would not allow such an outcome to occur.

His previous mistakes had already caused him incredible grief, thus Qiao Ting absolutely would not permit himself to commit the same mistakes. Therefore, Qiao Ting had deliberately plotted to turn the situation around to his advantage.

When Qiao Ting saw that he had already destroyed Lingtian's encirclement formation, he consciously slowed his mecha, creating the impression that his mecha was running low on power, and waited for Li Lanfeng to approach.

With regards to the three Lingtian mecha chasing him, the special-class operator Li Lanfeng was undoubtedly the biggest threat. He wanted to eliminate Li Lanfeng, then the remaining two Lingtian advanced mecha would be not much threat at all.

Qiao Ting waited for Li Lanfeng to catch up to him, but reality made him frown. It turned out that, even as he decreased his speed, the other was also decreasing his speed. Only then did Qiao Ting notice that Li Lanfeng was constantly maintaining the distance he needed to attack him from long range.

"He really is a wily and difficult character to deal with." Qiao Ting was very annoyed. Li Lanfeng had always appeared in their circles as a cunning and scheming persona, which led many to overlook his mecha piloting skills. Qiao Ting was no exception, but after today's fight, Qiao Ting could clearly feel that the other was even harder to handle than Zhao Jun. This was because the other knew very well how to protect himself — it was very hard to trick or bewilder him with tactics since he was so proficient in them himself. Like right now, Qiao Ting had intended to draw the other in, but Li Lanfeng had prudently noticed his plan at soonest notice ...

Knowing that his plan had failed, Qiao Ting could only give up on his original objective. He compared the distance between Li Lanfeng and the two other opponents behind him, and an idea emerged in his mind.

Qiao Ting did not hesitate to once again display that super technique of stopping suddenly and then flying inversely. His mecha abruptly switched directions to leap at Li Lanfeng, the beam saber in his hands stabbing right for the other's cockpit. The whole attack screamed 'if you won't come to me, then I'll come to you'.

Although Qiao Ting's actions were rather sudden, the always vigilant Li Lanfeng was long prepared for this. Seeing the opponent pounce at him, Li Lanfeng decisively revved all his mecha's engines, forcibly sending his mecha shooting several metres up into the air, narrowly dodging Qiao Ting's savage attack. At the same time, the beam gun in his hand once again unleashed countless beams at Qiao Ting passing by below him.

Li Lanfeng thought that Qiao Ting would definitely turn back to attack him after this attack of his missed, but the following scene surprised Li Lanfeng greatly. Qiao Ting's mecha suddenly twisted so that all the beams Li Lanfeng had shot struck air, and then, the very next second, Qiao Ting was already 100 metres or so behind him.
