Two mechas in the midst of a fierce fought abruptly dropped into Qi Long’s line of sight and before he could stop to think think, he heard Ling Lan’s voice ring out once again. “Continue to fight. This time you have to pressure your opponent, but don’t kill him in an instant. You have to give him hope of being able to endure.”

Qi Long couldn’t help but groan. His boss’ requests were becoming increasingly trickier. He had to pressure the opponent, but at the same time give him hope. It was really making it hard for someone who fought wildly like him. It should be known that his way of fighting was to either hide his strength and be on par with his opponent, or go full throttle for an instant takedown. He had never tried pressuring an opponent while not winning the battle.

“How really troublesome!” mumbled Qi Long depressedly. Nevertheless, he didn’t dare to go against his boss’ orders. Besides, he knew that there was a deeper meaning to the latter’s instruction. If he couldn’t do as his boss asked, his life after the match would be very miserable. In order to make sure he lived a bit more comfortably, he had to finish the mission his boss had given him no matter what.

Qi Long pumped himself up before turning around to fly towards the Leiting mecha that had chased him all the way there.

This special-class operator from Leiting also caught a glimpse of his captain, but before he could communicate with his captain, his opponent actually stopped running and immediately pounced on him with his weapon in hand.

At that moment, he still had no knowledge of having fallen into a trap. Once he saw Qi Long move towards him, he thought that was exactly what he wanted and thus, he also raised his weapon and flew towards Qi Long. When their weapons clashed, though, the heart of the Leiting special-class operator jumped a beat; the power behind his opponent’s strike this time was twice as powerful compared to what he felt in their previous bout of fighting. This huge force instantly bounced his weapon backward.

It was a good thing that his reactions were quick; he felt that he couldn’t withstand the blow and dodged with his mecha, making sure that his opponent didn’t take the chance to strike him. However, even though he managed to do all this, the edge of the other party’s blade still slashed the side of his mecha. The Leiting special-class operator could feel that if that had been a clean hit, he would either be dead or heavily wounded.

At that moment, the special-class operator understood everything. The running away and show of weakness were only his opponent pretending. It had been to deliberately lure him to this place—he had actually fallen into a trap.

After realizing the situation, the member from Leiting couldn’t help but be anxious. However, when he saw his captain gaining the upper-hand, his wavering heart instantly steeled. Tian Jiajun was another powerful individual who inspired the trust of his team members. It was just that Tian Jiajun was always low-key, thus he never had the chance to take the position of commander and instead became the vice-commander.

However, Tian Jiajun didn’t care. He wasn’t like the power-hungry Lin Zhidong, who still wouldn’t let go of his power in his fifth year to focus on getting ready for the military division evaluations. Tian Jiajun had been determined to join the 23rd Division since the previous year. Although he was stuck at the peak of special-class operator level and had no luck with advancing to ace operator, he had nonetheless never changed his decision to register for the 23rd Division.

Their year’s division evaluations were coming up in the near future and he wanted to join the 23rd Division to repay Boss Huo’s nurturing. Huo Zhenyu had personally seen potential in Tian Jiajun and was also the one who had recruited him. Tian Jiajun had kept this graciousness in mind and also wanted to repay the care that Leiting had given him in these past few years. That was why he was given the task to lead the other experts of Leiting to participate in this competitive match that would decide the clan’s future fate.
