Chapter 796: Rank!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Lin Zhong-qing!" A cold voice sounded beside Lin Zhong-qing's ears. Lin Zhong-qing shivered. His face was already pale due to exhaustion but his face turned even paler. It was full of fear. He didn't dare to make any delays so he shouted immediately, "Here!"

"Li Shiyu!" Li Shiyu's face turned pale too as his name was called. "Here!"

A few more people were called out too. All the logisticians were called. Lin Zhong-qing's deputies, Li Jinghong, He Chaoyang, Yuan Youyun, and Luo Shaoyun were all called. Gao Jinyun's small team was also called too. The five people who laid on the ground exhausted were part of Gao Jinyun's team. Gao Jinyun and his team members' physical skills were all not high. Hence, they became logisticians.

When they were ordered to join the long-distance marathon, Gao Jinyun knew that their weak performance during this marathon had angered their regiment commander. He knew that they were dead. The results were just like what he expected.

"Li Lanfeng!" Li Lanfeng's lips twitched. As expected, Ling Lan was not satisfied with his performance.

"Xie Yi!" Xie Yi's expression collapsed. He was the last to arrive. He knew that he wouldn't have a good ending.

"Double your training at night!" Ling Lan finally told everyone their punishment for those people with unsatisfying results.

"Yes!"

Before Chang Xinyuan could give them a smile of pity, he heard his Boss calling his name. "Chang Xinyuan!"

"Here!" Chang Xinyuan quickly replied. He wondered if his smile was too glaring. 'Did I anger my Boss?"

"Luo Chao and Han Xuya." Ling Lan looked at the only two ladies at the scene. This long marathon was extremely tiring. Ling Lan was afraid that they would faint so she didn't ask them to run. They were in charge of being the burdens this time. However, this didn't mean that she would let them off just because they were females. Ling Lan knew that this was the battlefield. Without absolute strength, they could die at any moment. She would never allow this to happen.

"You three will train with them at night."

"Ah!"Chang Xinyuan groaned. On the other side, Han Xuya and Luo Chao's face turned red with excitement. They shouted, "Yes, regiment commander." They had been waiting for this day for a long time, especially Luo Chao. She clenched her fist tightly and told herself that she must catch up with her Boss.

The person-in-charge of inspecting the convoy was stunned by their behaviors. When he heard Ling Lan's cold voice, he suddenly regained his senses. He looked over and saw a person with a cold aura standing in front of the door of the bullet-shaped hover car. He only glanced at this person but the person instantly noticed his glance. Her cold eyes turned to him. The person-in-charge felt as though his blood was frozen. His entire body turned cold. He was so frightened he didn't dare to look at Ling Lan again.

"Second lieutenant?" A cold voice sounded beside him. The voice melted the ice around him and woke him up from his thoughts.

"Yes, regiment commander!" The second lieutenant instinctively greeted Ling Lan as though she was his regiment commander too.

Ling Lan was speechless. 'What's wrong with this second lieutenant? Shouldn't he call me senior officer or lieutenant colonel?' She was not his regiment commander. However, she didn't have the time to correct him. She saluted and asked, "Can we go in now?"

"Yes, regiment commander!" The second lieutenant shouted after saluting back at her. Then, he signaled the people behind him to let them in.

Soon, the convoy entered the base. All their mechas were placed inside 250 Ace Mecha Clan's personal mecha hold. The second lieutenant watched as they went in. After a while, he suddenly remembered that he didn't ask them where their logisticians were. Also, for some reason, he called the lieutenant colonel 'regiment commander' instead.

In the base of Evil Wind Mecha Team, around 30 people were sitting in a meeting room, talking about the 250 Ace Mecha Clan which entered Base 013 recently.

"Leader, I heard that we have a new neighbor. It's an ace mecha clan." One of the team members told his leader about the news that had been spreading through their base recently.

"The information I got from Help states that there are only 200 people in that ace mecha clan. They only have enough mecha operators to form a major team like us but they are a mecha clan. Leader, do you think that 250 Ace Mecha Clan has some special background?" A feminine-looking soldier who looked around 30 years old said.

"The Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan that were stationed here in the past was nothing special. Their regiment commander was not even our leader's match. Yet, they are a titled ace mecha clan." A team member gave a look of contempt.

"Yes. In the past, I heard that titled ace mecha clans are very powerful. Now, I feel that they are nothing." This person's words gained the approval of everyone in the meeting room.

The team leader, who was sitting on the main command's seat, shook his head instantly. "That is not true. Changfeng Mecha Clan is not a real titled ace mecha clan." He remembered the words the Regiment Commander of Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan said to him before he left. Those words let him understand how deep the water was in the mecha world.

His mind went back to the day when he had a fight with the Regiment Commander of Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan using their mechas. They were both exhausted but no one was able to win against the other.

"Yan Three, I didn't expect a mecha operator who came from the grass-roots to be so powerful," the Regiment Commander of Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan exclaimed.

"Cheng Shu, you are not bad too. As expected of the regiment commander of a titled ace mecha clan." Yan Three respected Cheng Shu too. He used to be angry at Cheng Shu because he always evaded his invitation to have a fight.

"My mecha clan is not a titled ace mecha clan," Cheng Shu jeered at himself.

Yan Three was stunned. He knew that only titled mecha clans had a title. Other mecha clans were called by numbers. He asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Cheng Shu looked at Yan Three. "I'm going to leave Base 013 soon. Before I leave, let me give you a present. I'll tell you some secrets of the military so that you won't provoke someone you shouldn't."

Yan Three felt his heart being lifted up and he listened attentively.

Cheng Shu sighed. "A real titled ace mecha clan is indeed very powerful. They are not like my mecha clan which is unable to maintain its title. You must learn to look at their rank.

"Ah!" Yan Three exclaimed in surprise. He thought that all titled ace mecha clans were the same. He didn't know that there were different ranks.

Chapter 797: Good Fortune!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"There are five ranks available for a titled ace mecha clan, and each rank is further split into five sub-ranks, differentiated by the number of stars it has. So, the most powerful titled ace mecha clans are first-rank five-star ace mecha clans. Everyone in those mecha clans is powerful and frightening. Yan Three, if you meet a first-rank titled ace mecha clan, don't ever offend them. You can't afford to provoke anyone in those mecha clans. Even a normal member of those ace mecha clan is much stronger than us."

Yan Three nodded seriously. If a normal member of those ace mecha clan was stronger than Cheng Shu, then the people in those mecha clans were definitely not people he could provoke.

Cheng Shu suddenly smiled. "If you stay at Base 013 forever, you might not be able to meet them at all. Even I have only heard of them but never saw any of them personally."

Yan Three scoffed. 'Why could I be stuck here forever? I would eventually leave this base one day.' He got angry so he asked in a mocking tone, "What rank is Changfeng then?"

Cheng Shu's smile was turned upside down and his face turned green with anger. After some time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Changfeng? We are just a fifth-tank one-star ace mecha clan, the worst among the worst of all titled ace mecha clans. If we drop another rank lower, our title will be taken away and we will become a normal ace mecha clan"

"Your ace mecha clan is that bad?" Yan Three looked at him with disdain. "If it is that bad, why can't you all just work harder to climb higher? Why can't you gain another star?"

Cheng Shu sighed. He replied, "This is a problem of succession. Every titled ace mecha clan, even a first-rank five-star ace mecha clan, will have this problem. If the succession is successful, the ace mecha clan will be able to maintain its rank and might even be able to climb higher in rank. That ace mecha clan might even become an important ace mecha clan to the division or it might even become the core of the military, attaching long-lasting glory to its name."

"However, the possibility of this happening is very low. Many titled ace mecha clans were not able to pass the torch successfully. Each generation got worse than the one before them, resulting in their ranks getting lower and some even got their title removed, becoming a normal mecha clan in the end. In addition to that, some titled ace mecha clans would get sent on the battlefield and their men would get killed in the process of an ongoing war, making their mecha clan severely weaker by the time they leave the battlefield. Changfeng ace mecha clan is just getting worse by the generation, and there's no way to stop that." Cheng Shu wanted to make Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan better but he couldn't defy the rules of the military.

"If you don't have enough mecha operators, why can't you just train more?" Yan Three didn't understand Cheng Shu's thinking process.

"You have never entered an ace mecha clan so you don't know the unspoken rule in the military: removing blood and grooming blood." Cheng Shu gave a forced smile.

"Removing blood and grooming blood?" Yan Three came from the grass-roots units. When he heard what Cheng Shu said, he felt that he had wasted half of his life in the military as he had never heard of such a thing.

"The ranks between all the titled ace mecha clans are not present to differentiate the capabilities of all ace mecha clans. They are present because of this unspoken rule. This unspoken rule allows titled ace mecha clans that have a higher rank than us within our division to pick outstanding mecha operators from our ace mecha clan and transfer them to their own ace mecha clan. In a sense, our mission as a low-rank ace mecha clan is to groom mecha operators. With this unspoken rule, a pyramid is formed within the ace mecha clans. The tip of the pyramid consists of the most powerful ace mecha clans which had the best mecha operators, making them the core of the military."

"There is nothing wrong with that." Yan Three felt that this rule suited the military. The core ace mecha clans should have the right to have the best mecha operators.

"However, this rule causes the lower rank ace mecha clans to be stuck at the bottom of the pyramid forever. Some ace mecha clans fell down the ranks because too much blood was removed from them. Changfeng ace mecha clan is an instance of this." When Cheng Shu took over the Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan, he was motivated and driven to bring his mecha clan to the top. However, when the ace mecha clans above them kept taking away their mecha operators whom they took much time and effort to groom, his heart started to turn cold. He didn't want to waste his efforts anymore on someone who would eventually be taken away. After years and years of removing blood, Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan started to drop in rank. That was why they were sent to Planet Haijiao. They were forsaken by the military.

"Removing too much blood?" Yan Three sensed something amiss.

"Yes. At first, only three mecha operators can be taken out every five years. Now, it changed to two mecha operators every year. We are unable to keep our good mecha operators in our clan so we can't increase the ability of our ace mecha clan." Cheng Shu sighed loudly. "Not only that, the ace mecha clans above us might give us some mecha operators with special backgrounds too. These people are not ace mecha masters but they still forced them into our ace mecha clans so that they can get a good resume."

These people would usually leave half a year later, and they would be placed in higher positions but in actual fact, they didn't have any capabilities to obtain that position in the first place. What a joke. Ever since he came to Planet Haijiao, the higher authorities never sent anyone like that in his clan anymore so he managed to get some peace here. Cheng Shu felt that this was something good he got from the adversity.

"I see." Yan Three finally understood what Cheng Shu meant. The mecha world was so complicated.

"Yan Three, we are leaving soon. I don't know which ace mecha clan will be sent here. However, the commanding officer of your base had offended someone within the military headquarters. I think that they won't send you a powerful ace mecha clan…" Cheng Shu thought for a moment and decided to give him a suggestion. "Yan Three, if you can, join an ace mecha clan. You have the ability to. You shouldn't be wasting your time here."

Yan Three shrugged. "How about I join your ace mecha clan?"

Cheng Shu smiled bitterly. "I don't want to harm your future. Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan has been forsaken. The military had not sent anyone to examine our ace mecha clan for the past few years. If you join us, you will never have the chance to climb higher. If another ace mecha clan comes to this base after we leave, find a chance to join them. I hate the removing blood system but it can help you."

This was Cheng Shu's last piece of advice to Yan Three.

Back in the meeting room, Yan Three smiled coldly "Help me?" He had ambitions to climb higher up the ranks, but if he was to join an ace mecha clan, that clan's regiment commander must have the ability to make him bow down to him first. If not, he would rather stay at Base 013 his entire life as he would not tolerate being under a weak regiment commander.

"Ah!" A team member shouted, "250 Ace Mecha Clan is here. One of our members saw a huge group of people coming in."

"Leader, shall we take a look?" Everyone looked at Yan Three excitedly. They remembered how their leader brought them over when Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan came and gave them an opening gambit.

Yan Three knocked his fingers on the table and thought for a moment. Then, he smiled. "Let's go."

"Do your best, everyone!" Han Xuya placed her hands on her hips as she shouted at the logisticians who were moving their equipment.

On the other side, Luo Chao was busy recording all the pieces of equipment that were placed inside their warehouse. These were weapons that were brought over from the 23rd division. It was precious to them. Although Planet Haijiao would provide them with some weapons, their Boss didn't want to rely on other people. Hence, their Boss prepared all these as their backup. If they met any urgent situations, they would not have to wait for other people to help them.

"Hey, there are two beautiful younger sisters in the ace mecha clan that came this time. What good fortune!" A frivolous voice sounded above them.

Chapter 798: Add Oil To The Flame!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Han Xuya and Luo Chao looked up and saw a person squatting on the wall, smiling at them. On the roofs of the buildings around them, there were also many people standing there and pointing at them.

"Who are you?" Han Xuya's expression turned dark as she shouted angrily.

"Your neighbor, Evil Wind Mecha Team," The person squatting on the wall continued to smile and replied. After that, he sent out an invitation. "Beautiful lady, shall we have a meal and spend the night together?"

Han Xuya was furious. Although she and Luo Chao grew up with men around them, all their companions treated them like little sisters. They would never tease them like this. In the military academy, they were protected by their companions and seniors so no one dared to harass them. She didn't expect someone to harass her the moment they came to Base 013.

"How dare you!" Han Xuya shouted furiously.

"How dare I? I dare to do even worse things. Do you want to try me?" Everyone on the roof laughed when they heard what he said.

Han Xuya was burning with anger. She jumped up and punched the person on the wall.

Boom! The wall collapsed. The person jumped down and landed lightly on the ground within the base of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. He patted his chest and appeared as though he got a shock. "I'm so scared. I met a female dinosaur."

"Hmph!" Han Xuya snorted. She clenched her fist and started fighting with the person.

The other logisticians saw this and put aside their work. They wanted to help Han Xuya and teach this person a lesson. Luo Chao saw through their intentions and stopped them. She signaled them to let Han Xuya fight first. If Han Xuya didn't vent her anger, she would turn crazy.

The logisticians understood First Lieutenant Luo's decision so they stood at the side and watched the fight. However, they all agreed that if First Lieutenant Han was not able to defeat the person, they would attack him together. In their 250 notebooks, it was written that if they could win by numbers, do it. There was no such thing as heroism. If anyone disobeyed this rule, they would be punished. This mindset was instilled in them the moment they entered the mecha clan. After practicing together for a year, it had become a habit for them.

"Leader, what do you think?" The people standing on the roof appeared to be watching the show happily but instead, they were here to understand the capabilities of 250 Ace Mecha Clan.

"The two female officers are at the peak of refinement. They can be considered at the tip of the pyramid among all the female soldiers. As for those people around them, they should be logisticians…" The person behind Yan Three was good at analyzing people. However, he seemed a little uncertain when he was talking about the logisticians. "These logisticians are not bad too. Most of them are at refinement, even the weaker ones are at the tenth stage of manifestation. They are only one step away from refinement. I've never seen a bunch of logisticians that powerful."

Logisticians were the lowest-rank soldiers. Only those soldiers who couldn't meet any of the requirements for the other positions become logisticians. This position had no future. Yet, the physical constitutions of these people were enough for them to become land mecha operators.

Yan Three touched his chin. He was deep in thought. He only saw the tip of the iceberg of 250 Ace Mecha Clan but they already seemed hard to deal with. 'Is 250 Ace Mecha Clan a titled mecha clan that just got its title removed? Or is this display of strength just for show?'

"Add some oil to the flame." Yan Three whispered to the person beside him.

The person nodded before disappearing on the spot.

Luo Chao was focused on Han Xuya. After observing the battle for some time, Luo Chao noticed that the person who verbally harassed Han Xuya was just slightly stronger than her. He was already at the primary stage of Qi-Jin. Han Xuya was able to fight with him for so long because she was already half-step into the Qi-Jin stage and her innate talent was strength. In addition, her way of fighting was similar to Qi Long, brutal and vicious. The other party was afraid of her viciousness so he got held back.

Luo Chao had read through the rules of the mecha clan so she was about to ask the logisticians to help Han Xuya by ganking her opponent. However, she suddenly sensed danger and she quickly moved her body away.

Another person appeared at the spot where Luo Chao was at just now. If Luo Chao didn't react quickly, she would have been caught by this person.

Luo Chao looked at the person vigilantly. She said slowly, "Please leave our base immediately. If not, we will not show you any mercy." The commotion here should have alerted her brothers. If one of them comes, none of these people would be able to escape.

"Haha, little beauty, I welcome you to show no mercy towards me at night." The person teased Luo Chao blatantly, turning Luo Chao's fair face red in anger. She gritted her teeth. She had not seen such a shameless person in her life. How evil of him.

The people from Evil Wind started laughing when they saw the little beauty gritting her teeth helplessly.

"Haha, little beauty, why aren't you speaking? Have you agreed to communicate with me at night?" The man saw this and raised his hand. He wanted to touch Luo Chao.

Suddenly, his expression changed. He moved his body, wanting to dodge the incoming attack. But, he still failed.

A flash of white light zoomed through everyone, hitting the person who was about to touch Luo Chao, the person from Evil Wind flew through the air and slammed heavily onto the ground. He slid for a few meters, forming a long skid mark on the hard ground.

The flash of white light bounced on the ground and rolled to the side. It was Little White. It stumbled as it got up and walked a few steps. Then, it made a sound and fell to the ground. It fainted.

A figure landed on the spot where the person from Evil Wind was at just now. Luo Chao's beautiful face appeared in front of everyone again. However, this person had a strong killing intent around him, that immediately shut everyone up from Evil Wind.

"You want to 'communicate' with her? Well, let me communicate with you instead." A beautiful smile formed on the person's face. It was a seductive and enchanting smile. However, the people from Evil Wind only felt chills down their spines.

The moment Luo Lang finished speaking, he walked to the person who tried to touch Luo Chao. The person wanted to get up but Luo Lang stepped on his head, forcing his face flat on the hard ground. He tried to struggle but the huge force on his head prevented him from getting away. Luo Lang didn't seem to have used much strength but he still couldn't break free.

Chapter 799: Stop!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Three's expression changed when he saw this. His physical skills was the highest here, at the optimal peak of Qi-Jin. However, he still couldn't determine how high the man's physical skills was. For him to not be able to determine that, it must be either the person practiced some secret skills or he was more powerful than him. If it was the former, then everything was fine. If it was the former… Yan Three felt that it was impossible. The man should be no more than 25 years old. How could he be a domain realm master?

However, the fact that he couldn't see the other party's physical skills stage still made him worried. He moved his body and appeared in front of Luo Lang. "Little brother, my friend talks a lot but he will never touch the lady. Please forgive him." When he scanned his opponent top to bottom, he noticed that this person was not the little beauty. His major insignia was enough to prove this.

Luo Lang looked up and smiled at Yan Three brightly. "You are their leader, right? It's about time for you to appear."

Yan Three maintained his expression. If the other party still didn't understand his intentions, then 250 Ace Mecha Clan was useless.

A figure appeared at the spot where Little White lying on the ground. He calmly picked Little White up. The moment Little White was in his hand, it woke up. It turned its body and grabbed the person's finger. It started making loud sounds while shaking the person's finger.

"Bastard, bastard. How dare you throw me out like a ball? I will go back and tell master. I will let him punish you…" Its master had asked this person to bring it around to watch the surroundings. How dare he treat it like that. Go and die!

The person sneered. "Are you sure? I will tell your master that you didn't want to save Luo Chao. Tsk tsk."

Little White shivered. It knew that its master cared much about the only two ladies in his team. If master misunderstood him… Little White widened its eyes and looked furiously at the masked man. All it did was made things difficult for him during the marathon just now. What a treacherous person. He kept his grudge and took revenge on it the moment an opportunity came. He threw it out furiously until it got dizzy and almost killing it. Now, he was framing it. Ahhhhh! Little White was really angry. It wanted to kill him.

Little White turned crazy. Its voice got shriller. It landed in his hands because he was the only person who could communicate with it besides its master. 'Sob, master is busy so he doesn't have the time to take Little White out for a walk. Ah, no! He doesn't have the time to take me to inspect the surroundings. That was why master asked the evil masked man to take me out!'

A finger landed on its round body and started scratching it. Little White closed its eyes a little and laid on the person's hand. It moaned in satisfaction. 'Ah, this is so comfortable. I will let you go today. Hey, why are you stopping? Scratch this side.' Little White turned its body and asked the person to continue. It no longer wanted to kill Li Lanfeng.

Li Lanfeng gave a gentle smile. ���As long as I got its weak point, I could do anything to it, right?'

Little White lost to Li Lanfeng's massage. On the other side, the atmosphere between Luo Lang and Yan Three was tense. A battle seemed imminent.

Boom! They two of them punched each other at the same time. Both of them were forced to step back. Yan Three was an experienced person. The moment they stepped back, he swung his leg and hooked the person under Luo Lang's foot back.

Two figures flew out and caught the person. He vomited blood and told his companions in a low voice, "He is very powerful. I couldn't retaliate at all."

The two people retreated back to the crowd. They also realized that the 250 Ace Mecha Clan was not as simple as they thought. This beautiful man was already hard to deal with and with the masked man that appeared silently just now, it will only get harder. They only realized that he was there after he appeared.

Luo Lang saw the other party saving the man who harassed his sister. He clicked his tongue. If his Boss didn't ask them to hide their domains, his opponent wouldn't be able to save his comrade.

"Optimal peak of Qi-Jin!" Yan Three guessed Luo Lang's physical skills from that one punch. He turned serious. "Are you the Regiment Commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan ?"

"Our regiment commander is not so free. He doesn't have the time to take care of a small fish like you." Luo Lang looked up proudly. Yan Three was unhappy at his arrogant look but he controlled his emotions. He had heard what this person said. He was not the Regiment Commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. He became cautious. The thought of giving 250 Ace Mecha Clan an opening gambit was gone.

The Evil Wind Mecha Team was a wild and unyielding mecha team who always had conflicts and arguments with other mecha teams. The commanding officer of the base always felt his head hurt when he thought about them. However, that didn't mean that they were arrogant and brainless. As the leader of the Evil Wind Mecha Team, Yan Three was an intelligent person. He knew his limits. No matter what he did, he never crossed the bottom line of his commanding officer. That was why the Evil Wind Mecha Team had a high status in Base 013. He could see that 250 Ace Mecha Clan was not a simple mecha clan. The people inside were powerful. Hence, he decided to stop whatever he was doing. He would take action again after he understood this mecha clan better.

Yan Three laughed. "This is all a misunderstanding. Brother, we just wanted to greet you all but my team members saw the beautiful ladies and lost their minds. We are sorry that we offended the ladies. I will visit your regiment commander personally and apologize for the reckless behavior of my members."

Luo Lang's anger subsided a little when he saw Yan Three's sincere attitude. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the wall Han Xuya broke. "What about that?"

"Since it's our fault, we will repair it." Yan Three accepted the responsibility immediately.

Luo Lang was satisfied. He shouted, "Xuya, stop fighting."

Han Xuya stopped and panted heavily. Her opponent gave a bitter smile and waved his hands. He didn't expect this lively and pretty little lady to be so fierce. Her strength was greater than his. He could feel the pain on his body at the areas she hit. There were probably bruises all over him.

"I'll let you off today. We will continue tomorrow." Han Xuya saw that she couldn't subdue her opponent today so she issued him a challenge.

"Huh?" The person was shocked. 'Is this lady was still not done?'

Chapter 800: Bewitch!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"We must fight!" Han Xuya said firmly. She finally met someone whom she could fight on equal grounds without any worry, so she would definitely not let him off that easily.

Speaking of fighting, Han Xuya wanted to cry. She was not a gentle lady like Luo Chao. She liked to solve everything with brutal force. To put it crudely, she liked to fight. However, Qi Long and those monsters around her were much more powerful than her. She couldn't even experience a good fight when she found an equal as they were afraid of hurting her. As for the logisticians, they didn't dare to fight with her at all. In the 250 Ace Mecha Clan which was filled with talents, so there was no one who could be her sandbag. Today, she finally fought to her satisfaction. She would not let this sandbag run away.

Luo Lang saw through Han Xuya's intentions, so he smiled at Yan Three and waited for his reply.

Yan Three decisively betrayed his team member. "Stone, fight with this first lieutenant tomorrow."

Stone's lips twitched. 'Can I reject this invitation? I don't want to be in pain every day.' However, he knew that his leader never changed any decision he had made. Thus, he had no choice but to reply helplessly, "Yes, leader."

If he knew this was going to happen, he would have picked the other lady… he suddenly glanced at his teammate who was lying his other teammates' arms weakly and with blood occasionally dripping down his lips. 'Actually, fighting with this fierce lady is not so bad after all.'

The Evil Wind Mecha Team came happily but left dejectedly.

Li Lanfeng looked at Yan Three's firm back. He raised his eyebrows. 'That man is not someone who would admit defeat easily. This matter hasn't ended yet.'

Suddenly, Luo Lang rushed towards him, stopping just when he was right in front of his face. Li Lanfeng got a shock at the beautiful face that was looking at him intently.

Li Lanfeng smiled. "What is the matter?"

"Why did you act before me just now?" If Li Lanfeng didn't smash Little White at the person who harassed Luo Chao, the person wouldn't have escaped with just light injuries.

"We just came here and don't understand the internal workings of this base yet, so it's better to be careful," Li Lanfeng smiled as he replied.

"Do you think I don't know this?" Luo Lang smiled coldly. 'Does he think that I'm stupid?'

Li Lanfeng raised his hands helplessly and apologized, "I'm sorry then. I was being a busybody."

Luo Lang glared at him. "No sincerity."

Li Lanfeng frowned when he heard this. "Luo Lang, do we have any misunderstanding here?" Ever since they entered the domain stage, Luo Lang had been looking at him questioningly.

"My calm personality told me to keep a distance away from you," Luo Lang replied honestly.

Li Lanfeng wanted to laugh. 'Isn't he betraying himself?'

The calm personality was speechless. The other personalities started laughing at him. This was something only the primary personality would do. What a poor thing. The calm personality couldn't do anything to the primary personality.

"I'm not stupid. I trust my calm personality but Boss trusts you. Hence, I choose to trust you," Luo Lang continued. The calm personality started thinking. 'Is the primary personality really as dumb as they had thought?'

Li Lanfeng retracted his smile when he heard what Luo Lang said. He looked at Luo Lang seriously and smiled after a few seconds. "I understand. Don't worry. Even if I can harm anyone, I will never harm Boss Lan!"

"I hope you remember your words." Luo Lang turned and went to take care of his sister.

'His calm personality?' Li Lanfeng's smile got deeper. As expected, he couldn't deceive everyone. What a failure! Ever since he entered the domain stage, he discovered his other ability——Bewitch! But from the looks of it now, it couldn't be used on everyone. For instance, Luo Lang's calm personality and Rabbit.

When this was happening, Ling Lan was not there with them. She had instead brought Yang Mingzhi along to meet the commanding officer of the base. She only knew what had happened when she came back. During the team leader meeting in the afternoon, she let the team leaders decide how they should handle this matter when Qi Long asked her what they should do.

Ling Lan brought another piece of news back from the commanding officer. Base 013 was going to throw them a welcoming dinner. It was said to be a welcoming dinner but they were just going to have a meal together in the canteen. Of course, the people that were invited to the welcoming dinner were all junior officers and above in terms of rank. The logisticians could only prepare their own meals in their camp.

"They are just trying to pressure us in that kind of situation." Luo Lang raised his one of his eyebrows.

"Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Everyone will be there just to understand our capabilities," Li Lanfeng replied thoughtfully.

"Regiment commander, what do we do?" Yang Mingzhi asked.

Ling Lan looked at the list Lin Zhong-qing had passed to her. It was the list of items provided by the base. Just like what she had expected, they were provided with just the basic items. There was no advanced weaponry. They didn't even provide them with enough supplies of energy storage units. The logistics department of Planet Haijiao was not very good.

She raised her head and replied to Yang Mingzhi, "We will act accordingly." Then, she smiled. "250 Ace Mecha Clan will get to the top in the future."

The ten team leaders smiled as they had understood what their regiment commander meant. 250 Ace Mecha Clan would soon reign over Base 013.

At the commanding officer's office, the adviser beside the commanding officer asked worriedly, "Commanding officer, will something bad happen if the 250 Ace Mecha Clan meet those people?"

"Whether it is good or bad, something will definitely happen. Did you see the Regiment Commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan?" The commanding officer frowned. Ling Lan was a really cold person, just a glance from her would make him shiver to the bone. She definitely looks like someone that would not be easily controlled. Also, he received the news that the Evil Wind Mecha Team had some conflict with 250 Ace Mecha Clan just now but everything was resolved calmly. If they were able to have the wild Yan Three take a step back, the people in 250 Ace Mecha Clan were definitely not simple.

The commanding officer hoped that a powerful ace mecha clan would come and help to protect Base 013. However, he also hoped that it wouldn't be a mecha clan that was hard to control. As the commanding officer of the base, he didn't want a portion of his power to be taken away by some hard-headed outsiders. Thus, he needed to find out more about 250 Ace Mecha Clan before making further plans.

Evil Wind Mecha Team was not the only people in the base that was hard to deal with. There was another special mecha clan too. The people inside were all descendants of elite families. After gaining some merits here, they would go back and be promoted to whatever position her families had prepared for them. These people were arrogant and domineering most of the time, doing whatever they wanted and looked down on everyone, but because of their strong background, no one dared to talk back to them. The only exception was, the Evil Wind Mecha Team, as it was made up of a bunch of people who were not afraid of death so they were able to subdue this bunch of descendants and stop them from being too overboard. If not, who knew what they would do?

"Have you made the necessary arrangements?" The commanding officer asked.

"Yes," the adviser replied.

The commanding officer smiled. "That's good. We can watch a good show tonight."

Chapter 801: Lady Mei!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the female dormitory district of the logistician camp, female JMCs were dolling themselves up carefully as they were going to welcome an ace mecha clan in the welcoming dinner. This mecha clan was just a normal ace mecha clan but there were still some ace mecha masters inside it. Even if these ace mecha masters just newly advanced, they should be at least at the rank of senior captain. These ladies felt their hearts fluttering when they thought about this. All of them hoped to find a powerful officer as their boyfriends or maybe potential future husbands.

However, only one lady appeared out of place. She wore a military uniform and didn't put on any makeup. She had an unhappy expression on her face as she was upset about the behavior of her friends.

"Lady Mei, stop putting on your stern face. Even if you don't like those ace operators, we need them." One of the female soldiers purposely wore a smaller sized military uniform which displayed her curves more prominently. She seemed determined to find a good boyfriend this time.

"She already has Major Zhou. Of course, she wouldn't care about the new ace mecha masters." Another female soldier covered her mouth and smiled with her eyes, but there was envy in her eyes. Major Zhou had been chasing Lady Mei for the past few days. They were touched by all the things he did for her but Lady Mei's heart was rock solid. She was not moved at all.

"What do you mean by mine? If you want him, you can take him." Lady Mei frowned. She had no feelings towards Major Zhou at all. His identity and his oppressive behaviors caused her to remember her mother's sufferings.

Lady Mei's name was Mei Gu ('Gu' here means lonely). The female soldiers felt that her name was not so nice to call her so they called her Lady Mei. Lady Mei liked to take care of them like an elder so this nickname suited her quite well.

Lady Mei was an illegitimate child. She didn't know who her father was. Her mother also didn't want to tell her who he was. However, after years of probing, she found out when her mother was a JMC, she got played by a high-ranking officer. The high-ranking officer abandoned her after a while and even threw her out of the military so that he could cover up what he did, destroying her mother's life. Lady Mei couldn't even imagine what her mother felt when she gave birth to her.

"If Major Zhou likes me and gives me what I want, I will willingly let myself fall in love with him. I don't understand what you are thinking. He is such a sincere and loving man," The female soldier said with a tone filled with jealousy. She felt she was good-looking too. Why did Major Zhou fell for Lady Mei and not her?

"I will not rely on a man for my needs," Lady Mei replied with a dark expression.

"What is wrong with relying on a man?" The female soldier stood up instantly. The two of them were about to start a fight, but the other female soldiers pulled them apart.

Lady Mei looked at the bunch of innocent ladies and sighed. She said coldly, "With the exception of talented monsters, all ace mecha masters are at least 30 years old and above. Most of them will have families already at that age. 250 Mecha Clan is just a normal ace mecha clan, so there will probably not be any talented people in it. It will be difficult for you all want to find someone you like."

"There will definitely be fish that escaped the net." The female soldier who was dressed sexily smiled. They could accept older men as long as they were not married. The average lifespan in the Federation was 150 years old so a 20 years old age gap meant nothing.

"That's right. Even if those talented and powerful people come to our base, we won't have any chance too." Another female soldier said, "Only a goddess like Li Yinfei will be able to…"

"It is not impossible too. General Ling Xiao's wife was a JMC, right?" One female soldier didn't agree with her friend. She started to appear as if she was dreaming and said, "I believe that my Ling Xiao will come and look for me."

"Stop dreaming!" The other female soldier laughed. They were all excited and anticipating this welcoming dinner while Lady Mei sat dejectedly at the corner. She didn't want to talk to these stupid ladies whose mind was filled with blind love.

Lan Luofeng was a lucky person. However, how many Lan Luofengs was there in the military? Most ladies were tricked and played by the officers. Her mother was one of them.

"Fine, fine, Lady Mei, don't be angry!" A beautiful female soldier saw the sadness in Lady Mei's face and rushed over. She hugged Lady Mei's shoulder and patted her. "I know that you are afraid that we will be fooled by the men. You want to climb up using your own abilities. However, we just don't have that kind of ambition. We just want to marry a good husband and have a child with him."

"But…" Lady Mei looked at the excited ladies. She was worried. There were so many cases of female JMCs getting tricked. Why couldn't they wake up?

"Don't worry. We will keep our eyes sharp." The beautiful female soldier knew what Lady Mei was worried about. But, they still thought that they were able to meet the man of their dreams.

Lady Mei knew that her persuasions were useless now, so she sighed and let them do what they wanted.

Soon, the female soldier finished dressing themselves up. They went to the canteen together, which looked entirely different. It had been cleaned up and the tables had been rearranged. Each mecha clan was assigned to a table or an area. The JMC female soldiers were the attendants for this welcoming dinner. They would serve the officers their foods and drinks.

Many officers were already seated at the cafeteria. They were either resting in their seats or chatting with the person beside them. When the JMCs walked in, their eyes lit up. Although they might not have any untoward thoughts about these women, it was still only natural for them to admire beautiful ladies.

A bunch of young junior officers around 30 years old were sitting at a table near the stage saw the female soldiers entering, and instantly got excited.

"Brother Zhou, the woman you like came too," a fair young man said to the handsome man he was sitting next to. He was the person that had been chasing Lady Mei. His name was Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen turned and saw Lady Mei's cold face. He was elated. The moment he entered this base, he was entranced by this cold and arrogant lady. However, no matter what he did, she didn't fall for him. This just perked his desire to conquer her even more. Until now, he didn't know if he really liked her or he just wanted to satisfy his desires.

He stood up immediately and walked towards the JMCs. The people around him followed behind him.

"Lady Mei, long time no see!" Zhou Chen shouted with a bright smile.

The female soldiers beside Lady Mei pushed her forward, so Lady Mei had no choice but to reply, "Major Zhou, we just met yesterday."

Chapter 802: Help Me!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Lady Mei, seeing you after only such a short time felt like an eternity. Don't you feel the same?" Zhou Chen had a flirtatious expression as he spoke.

"Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. I just know that it has only been 16 hours since we last met!" Lady Mei said coldly. She didn't want to give Zhou Chen any anything to work with. She becomes very irritated every time Zhou Chen shows up with that kind of expression on his face.

Zhou Chen's smile instantly froze up. Lady Mei gestured the female soldier beside her, preparing to go around Zhou Chen. She didn't have any thoughts of continuing to speak with him, causing him to lose his dignity in front of his posse.

The officers around them saw this scene and began to laugh softly. These privileged and arrogant people like Zhou Chen had irritated and angered many people. The piercing laughter was a clear indication of mockery and making fun of him.

"Bam!"

A hand suddenly grabbed onto Lady Mei's wrist. Zhou Chen, who was the owner of the hand, had a cold expression on his face. He said slowly, "Lady Mei, I've already asked you out for three months, shouldn't you give me an answer already?" If there weren't other officers around, he wouldn't care if Lady Mei continued to play around with him. However, now that they were seen in public, his ego did not allow himself to be stepped on by a common female soldier.

Lady Mei flung his hand off of her wrist, "Major Zhou, I had already told you very clearly three months ago. We. Are. Not. Happening!" Afterwards, she led her friends, who were scared, and prepared to leave.

"Ah!" Lady Mei suddenly cried out in pain. It turns out her hand was grabbed by him once again. However this time, he didn't hold back and made it painful for her.

"Lady Mei, you should understand that I will not take no for an answer. I've already given you respect. If you don't comply, I'm going to be very angry." Zhou Chen didn't allow anyone to reject him in public, especially if it was an average and powerless female soldier.

"Do you not understand the words coming out of my mouth? I don't like you, please let go of my hand!" Lady Mei had hardened personality. How could she give in to this person? Even if she was to be expelled by the military, she still wanted to leave with her dignity.

"You should have come quietly when you had the chance. Little Wu, A'Mo, take her to my room!" Zhou Chen tossed Lady Mei towards the two people behind him and gestured them to take her away.

"Let go of me, let go!" Lady Mei kicked and punched the two officers who tried to drag her way. In her mind she knew that if she didn't save herself now, she would be ruined. Although the regulations of the military was strict, it was only in divisions during normal times. However, on the front lines of a battlefield, there were a lot of shady things happening. For some bases, they even neglect occasions when soldiers assault female soldiers in order to quell the killing intent and anxiousness from the battlefield.

The female soldiers that came with Lady Mei were all dumbstruck. They saw Zhou Chen's cold expression, and didn't dare to say anything.

The officers around them all frowned. Some wanted to make a move but were stopped by those around them. Offending a privileged individual for a normal JMC was not worth it. In the end, most of the people in Base 013 were all just commoners. These junior officers all climbed the ranks one by one. Once they offend these people, they could predict that their futures would be completely destroyed.

"Captain?" The Evil Wind Mecha Team had entered just then and saw this scene. They all had angry expressions on their faces. One of them asked the leader, Yan Three, whether they should make a move.

Others might be afraid of these privileged individuals, but it didn't mean those from Evil Wind were afraid of them. They had some power in this base, so if the higher-ups were to punish them, they would need enough reason to do so. They also had the right to go to court and use their merits to ask the disciplinary committee to conduct an investigation. Even if they couldn't leave without a scratch, they would still give the privileged individuals a hard time.

Right as Yan Three was about to nod, he saw a few familiar silhouettes. He smirked and said, "Don't make a move just yet, 250 Ace Mecha Clan is here!"

He wanted to see how would the people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan deal with this problem!

"What's happening?" Luo Chao and Han Xuya were the first to arrive. They saw a female soldier fighting for her life to get away from two junior officers who were trying to drag her away, and they asked in confusion.

The junior officers from 250 Mecha Clan's logistics division all shook their heads. They had also just arrived and didn't know what was happening.

Lady Mei saw that there were female officers at the door and immediately had an idea. She shouted loudly, "Help me! Please help me!" She was not going to give up until the very last moment.

"Hey, let her go!" Han Xuya couldn't bear to see what was happening. No matter what had happened or whether that female soldier was in the right or wrong, she still wanted to stop it and ask about the situation since she saw it.

Little Wu saw Han Xuya's young and elegant beauty and instantly had a thought, "Wow, when did our base get such high quality girls? How about it? Do you want to come with me?"

Han Xuya frowned. 'What is with this base? Why were all of these people so creepy and like to take advantage of women?'

"Did you not understand what i said? I told you let her go!" Han Xuya's impression of these two people instantly went into the negatives. She originally only wanted to ask for the reason of the issue, but now she decided that no matter what, she was going to take care of this issue. Looking the creepy looks the two senior captains gave her, she knew they weren't nice people!

"Heh, a first lieutenant dares to order us to let someone go?" A'Mo laughed coldly, "Has your superiors never taught you about ranks?"

"No, he really hadn't!" Han Xuya said with a smile. The mecha operators in 250 Mecha Clan were all senior colonels or lieutenant colonels. Even her childhood friends were all majors, even the lowest rank were senior captains. Thus, she didn't care too much about this senior captain who stood in front of her.

Han Xuya's words made A'Mo's expression change instantly. This was the first time someone disrespected him in public. He suddenly had an evil thought. If that was the case, then he should have this woman with Lady Mei.

He suddenly went to grab Han Xuya. Han Xuya's eyes sharpened and threw her fist towards him.

"Bam!" The sound of punches being thrown could be heard.

"Ah!" A pained shout followed after the punching sound.

A'Mo held his right hand with a pale expression on his face. He looked at the woman who had broken his hand with a sinister look. He didn't think that she would have that much strength, wounding him in one hit.

"What happened?" The activity around them angered Zhou Chen who had already calmed down. He walked over and asked in a cold tone.

"Elder Brother Zhou, this woman actually dares to meddle with your affairs." A'Mo saw Zhou Chen come over and instantly told him about it.

Zhou Chen's eyes looked towards Han Xuya and also saw the beautiful Luo Chao, who was behind Han Xuya. Together Lady Mei, who was although somewhat flustered, the three different beauties made him salivate in his mouth. He couldn't help but lick his lips and softly say, "I didn't think that the base would have two more beauties. Very nice. Very nice."

Chapter 803: An Amusement Park for Fighting!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhou Chen's creepy expression instantly angered Han Xuya. She put her hands on her waist and shouted, "What are you looking at? Shouldn't you let go of that female soldier?"

"You broke my friend's arm, shouldn't you take responsibility for that?" Zhou Chen smiled coldly. Although he liked beautiful girls, he definitely wouldn't allow them to stand over him.

"What do you want me to do?" Han Xuya suddenly smiled while playing with her fingers without a care in the world. When she came here, her elder cousin brother said that if she were to be in trouble, she shouldn't make it difficult for herself. She was told she could do anything and make a scene, and there would naturally be someone there to clean it up for her.

Han Xuya knew this was their Boss's orders. If she had Boss's protection, even if she was to break through the heavens, she would still be fine.

Luo Lang was also told that by her elder brother, Luo Lang, thus she was was only watching Han Xuya worked her magic with a calm smile on her face. She didn't have any thoughts of stopping her. In Luo Chao's mind, Boss Lan would help them out if they were stuck in a sticky situation.

'It seems these two girls aren't terrified at all.' Zhou Chen, who had always had his way in Base 013, had immediate change in his expression, "It seems you don't know who I am."

Han Xuya sighed softly. 'Why do these antagonists always say the same thing?' She clenched her fist, cracking her knuckles, "Then tell me, who are you?" Once all the pointless chatter ends, she would finally be able to start fighting again.

Seeing Han Xuya's movements, Zhou Chen understood her intentions 'She actually dares to put up a strong front in front of me…' His expression showed a hint of anger and he waved his hand. Seeing that hand movement, a dozen of his friends who was just spectating the tense atmosphere, instantly came forward.

"You actually dare to not respect us and dare to attack the 8th battalion? Do you not know the significance of the 8th battalion? You're really looking for a death wish." Their families deliberately put them into a base that had any connections with a division. They wanted to give these young people real military merits, so that it will be easier for them to climb up the ranks. Their families really did a lot for them.

"Oh, the 8th battalion? Okay… but what does that have anything to do with me? Yes, I am not respecting you. What can you do to me?" Han Xuya laughed. Her bravado made other officers frown slightly as they were all used to female soldiers being submissive. They definitely weren't used to such an arrogant woman.

Only Lady Mei's eyes glistened when she saw what Han Xuya did. She discovered that she was what she aspired to be. Whoever was to put their hand on her, she would ruthlessly cut it off and not care about the consequences.

Han Xuya's arrogant attitude instantly angered those arrogant and privileged individuals. They didn't wait for Zhou Chen's order, and they all instantly surrounded her.

Although Lady Mei admired Han Xuya, she was concerned when she saw a dozen junior officers circling her at the same time. She began to worry about the cool and poised female officer.

"Come at me!" Han Xuya's eyes brightened and ran towards them. She finally had a chance to show off. Before, when she got into these types of situations, it would always be taken care of by Qi Long and Luo Lang, leaving her no chance for her to do anything even if she wanted to. She didn't think that after arriving at Base 013, she was actually the one with the most chances to fight, leaving her with an amazing impression of this base. It was like an amusement park for fighting.

"Bang, bang, bang." Many people were sent flying, smashing into the tables and chairs on the side. They created a big mess, causing the person in charge of the cafeteria to have pale expressions on his face. He was internally crying. He could already imagine the angry and murderous face of the logistics department head. He might lose his job because of this.

'If I had known that things would get this out of control, I would have stopped him before he could let his people take that JMC away.' The person in charge of the cafeteria thought in his mind regrettably.

When Little Wu saw that his friends actually couldn't even beat a woman, his expression became sinister, and he thought of a plan to choke Lady Mei in order to threaten Han Xuya. Right when he was about to choke Lady Mei, he suddenly felt his chin taking a strong hit. Just as he was about to pass out, he heard a cracking sound coming out of his chin.

Luo Chao arrived beside Lady Mei and pulled Lady Mei away, taking her far away from the fight. It was to make sure she wasn't hurt from the people who were sent flying by Han Xuya. Although seemed to have been focusing on Han Xuya, she was actually staring at Lady Mei, in order to determine the perfect time for her to take her back. Seeing the perverted guy preparing to using Lady Mei as a hostage, she decisively made a move. Although Luo Chao's physical skills was not as good as Han Xuya, it was still easy for her, who had reached the peak of refinement, to strike down someone who was only at the early stage of refinement.

Seeing his friends continuously get beaten up by strong women, Zhou Chen couldn't hold himself back anymore, and he pounced towards Han Xuya with the intent to disable her forever.

"Bam!" However, Zhou Chen was immediately intercepted by someone in mid-air.

"You're opponent is me!" A silhouette landed on front of Zhou Chen and said calmly.

Zhou Chen's eyes widen and said in a surprised tone, "Zhou Yu, it's you?" The person who intercepted Zhou Chen was none other than Second Lieutenant Zhou Yu from 250 Ace Mecha Clan's logistics department. He just had bare minimum amount of merits in order to participate in the welcoming dinner. He was the second group to come in and was only behind Han Xuya and Luo Chao by a short while. He came just in time to see Zhou Chen attacking Han Xuya.

"Yes, it's me. Is it really that strange?" Zhou Yu clenched his fist. His wrist, that took the hit, was somewhat numb. With his current capabilities, it was still somewhat difficult for him to intercept Zhou Chen. However, this small bit of pain made him feel fantastic. It meant that his efforts of working towards not being a piece of useless trash had paid off.

"I didn't think that trash like you would actually pass the new recruit examination and be taken in by a division… But why are you torturing yourself? If you can't learn the Zhou family's Divine Dash technique, then you don't have the qualifications to be part of the Zhou family," Zhou Chen said with a serious tone.

"Does it matter if I can't be part of the Zhou family?" Zhou Yu said indifferently.

A year ago, the Zhou family's abandonment made him feel lost and anger. He took these feelings with him as he joined the military, and he coincidentally entered 250 Ace Mecha Clan. After a year of being with comrade who shared similar feelings of abandonment, the issue with the Zhou family had been resolved in his head… He had brother-in-arms alongside him now, such as Chen Yi'an, Guo Rongqi and others from the logistics department who worked hard with him. Everyone was putting forth all their efforts into becoming stronger. What made him even more emotional was that their regiment commander, Ling Lan, never gave up on trash like them. After researching their physical constitutions, she had personally created a set of physical skills techniques that were suitable for their respective constitutions, which helped them to quickly advance. They were originally only at the primary stage of foundation, the lowest stage of the Federation's physical skills. However, in that single year, they all managed to advance. Most of them entered into the early stages of refinement, while he grew even faster and advanced to the peak of refinement. This was why he was promoted to second lieutenant.

Zhou Chen didn't think that Zhou Yu would give him such an answer and was instantly stunned. He still remembered the face Zhou Yu made when the Zhou family given him the punishment. It was full of resentment, otherwise he wouldn't have left the Zhou family and joined the military.

When Zhou Yu saw Zhou Chen's stunned expression, he smirked. If it wasn't for everything Regiment Commander Ling had done, he might not have been able to reach this point. Now, Zhou Yu was no longer Zhou Yu of the Zhou family, but was instead Zhou Yu of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. Back when he had advanced to the early stages of refinement, he had already made a decision. He planned on following his Boss Lan who had given him a new lease on his life.

Chapter 804: Threat?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Trash, you finally understand that you can never be a part of the Zhou family." Zhou Chen reacted quickly and gave a look of disdain.

"If I'm trash, what about you? I haven't seen you for more than a year but you are still at the primary stage of Qi-Jin. You made no improvements at all. Looks like you are going to become a useless person like me soon." Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Chen. This was the person he was envious of in the past. From the looks of it now, his jealousy was too cheap in the past. In 250 Ace Mecha Clan, Zhou Chen could only become a logistician like him.

Zhou Chen's face turned red with anger and viciousness appeared in his eyes. Although he was stronger than Zhou Yu, he was not among the outstanding batch in the Zhou family. If he didn't have a good mother who had a powerful background, the Zhou family wouldn't have placed so much emphasis and resources on him. He knew that he was not that impressive, so he liked to vent his frustrations on Zhou Yu to feel better about himself. Zhou Yu was in that kind of position due to him being unable to practice the Zhou family's Divine Dash technique. Zhou Chen was able to vent his frustrations by showing off his abilities in front of him. It was because of the Zhou family's cruel and unforgiving environment that caused Zhou Chen's mind to become twisted.

Zhou Yu's words exposed his greatest insecurity. He went berserk. "Zhou Yu, go and die!" Zhou Chen shouted in anger. His eyes were bloodshot as he pounced at Zhou Yu while releasing his Qi-Jin to its maximum. He wanted to kill Zhou Yu.

However, Zhou Yu remained calm in the face of an attack. He congregated all his energy and blocked the attack.

Boom! Zhou Yu took a few steps back before he stabilized himself. A drip of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth. He was only at the peak of refinement, so the power of Qi-Jin had injured him heavily. However, he didn't want to lower himself in front of Zhou Chen. He swallowed the blood that gushed up to his mouth, leaving only a couple of drops of blood that slipped out his mouth.

"Zhou Yu, are you alright?" A second lieutenant jumped out and held him up. It was Zhou Yu's good friend, Chen Yi'an. Chen Yi'an was only at the primary stage of refinement but Chang Xinyuan realized his talent in mecha modification so he moved Chen Yi'an to the modification department. Thus, Chen Yi'an became Chang Xinyuan's helper. His rank jumped from a third rank corporal to a second lieutenant, making him able to attend this dinner.

"I'm fine!" Zhou Yu wiped the blood off his mouth. He suffered a heavy internal injury but he was happy. This person was no longer the devil in his heart anymore. He was able to resist him now. Zhou Yu believed that in one more year, he would surpass Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen was furious when he saw a primary stage refinement soldier interrupting the battle between him and Zhou Yu. He felt that the other person was not giving him any respect. The angry Zhou Chen raised his fist and aimed it at Chen Yi'an, preparing to give this arrogant second lieutenant a bloody lesson.

Zhou Yu was shocked when he saw Zhou Chen's fist coming towards Chen Yi'an. He quickly pulled Chen Yi'an behind him and prepared to use his body to block the fist.

Boom! A figure flew out and slammed through multiple tables at the canteen. The force was so great, the figure smashed through four round tables before he stopped.

A cold and handsome senior captain had appeared in front of Zhou Yu. He was the person who kicked Zhou Chen away.

"Brother!" Chen Yi'an popped his head out behind Zhou Yu. He was elated when he saw the person in front of Zhou Yu. It was his brother, Chen Yifan.

Chen Yifan's true capabilities were immediately found out when he entered the 250 Ace Mecha Clan. He was then transferred to the mecha team and became a member of Li Yingjie's team 10. The two brothers belonged to two different departments so they came with their own team in sequence. In 250 Ace Mecha Clan, the logisticians would arrive first, followed by the mecha team. Li Yingjie's team 10 was the first mecha team to arrive at the canteen. When Chen Yifan saw someone attempting to harm his younger brother, he immediately acted.

Zhou Chen picked himself up from the ground with much effort. It was a simple series of actions but he was in tremendous amounts of pain by just doing it. Thus, he couldn't control himself and vomit out blood while clutching his stomach. After multiple attempts of trying to stand up but eventually falling on the ground, he finally stood up, albeit a little wobbly. Then, he maliciously looked at the person who had injured him.

"How dare a senior captain injure me. I will report this to the disciplinary committee. You can just sit there and wait for the military to kick you out." Zhou Chen gritted his teeth. He knew he was not this person's match. Hence, he prepared to use his family background to punish these bastards who dared to provoke him.

"Is someone threatening my team members? Are you bored of life?" An arrogant voice came from the open door, before revealing a major who entered the room slowly.

"Leader!"

"Leader Li!"

The team members from team 10 and the logisticians saluted the major.

Major Li snapped his fingers indifferently. His team members knew what their leader was like so they quickly moved to the side. Chen Yifan looked at Zhou Chen in pity before bringing his brother and Zhou Yu to the side too.

The logisticians also knew the personality of Little Leader Li, so they immediately followed the other members of team 10 without hesitation.

There were two team leaders with the surname Li in 250 Ace Mecha Clan. To differentiate them, they called Li Lanfeng, Big Leader Li, and Li Yingjie was referred to as Little Leader Li. The personalities of these leaders were also a direct contrast with each other. Big Leader Li was gentle, well-mannered, thoughtful, treats his subordinates well and just an overall good person. Everyone liked him. If anyone made Big Leader Li angry, it must be the fault of the other person. As for Little Leader Li, he was the complete opposite. He was arrogant, bossy, impatient, offends people easily and was not afraid of anybody. He was like the devil of their mecha clan. However, there was only one person who could bring him down a notch, and that was their regiment commander. Whenever Little Leader Li saw their regiment commander, he would immediately become like an angel.

Soon, only Zhou Chen and Li Yingjie were left at the doorway.

Li Yingjie slowly walked towards Zhou Chen. He bent down and patted Zhou Chen's cheek. "How can someone like you dare to threaten my man? What a disgrace." As he spoke, the force he exerted on his hand increased. The handprint on Zhou Chen's cheek was slowly becoming more prominent on Zhou Chen's face after each and every time Li Yingjie patted him.

Chapter 805: Can't Hold It!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Li Yingjie was about to slap his cheek, Zhou Chen wanted to move away from his hand. However, he got suppressed by his force of presence, freezing him in his place, forcing him to receive all the slaps on his cheeks. He could clearly feel each slap progressing more harsher than the last, with the distinct and continuous 'pah' sound. Zhou Chen glared at Li Yingjie furiously. He would have fainted by the slaps but his anger forced him to remain conscious.

"As expected of an ace mecha clan. What a grand entrance." A sarcastic voice sounded from the door.

Zhou Chen looked at the person who came and his eyes lit up. His life savior was here to save him.

Li Yingjie turned his head slowly and saw a handsome 30 years old lieutenant colonel smiling as he walked in. When he walked passed Li Yingjie, he glanced at the other officers from the base who were watching the show.

The officers' expressions changed when they saw this person. When this person glanced at them, they immediately turned and walked away. No one dared to provoke him.

Zhou Chen's background was strong but it was insignificant compared to this person.

The person stood in front of Li Yingjie and flicked his insignia. He appeared to be dusting his insignia, but Li Yingjie knew that he was showing him that he had a higher rank.

Li Yingjie smiled. 'Is he trying to compare rank?' There were many people in his team that had a higher rank than this person. In 250 Ace Mecha Clan, military rank was like an ornament. If everything was done based on rank, 250 Ace Mecha Clan would be in a mess. Their regiment commander was just a lieutenant colonel. However, there were many senior colonels and lieutenant colonels in the mecha clan.

The person was confused when he noticed that Li Yingjie was not frightened at all by his rank. The thought of threatening this person using his military rank was pushed to the side. Compared to Zhou Chen, this person was much more vigilant. He knew that there were normally two kinds of people that were not afraid of someone with a higher rank than themselves. These kinds of people were either rash and stupid, or he had the capabilities or background to not be afraid. The first kind was easy to deal with but the second…

"Major, shouldn't you restrain yourself since you just came to the base?" The person asked.

"Restrain?" Li Yingjie smiled. "We are already restraining ourselves." Based on his temper in the past, he would have already ordered his team to jump on Zhou Chen together by now.

The person was clearly not expecting such a reply as he was stunned, freezing his smile. 'This brat doesn't show me any respect at all. How irritating.' The person's eyes turned cold. He lowered his right hand and rubbed his fingers quickly.

At that moment, Zhou Chen suddenly shouted, "Boss Song, these people are looking down on our mecha clan and on you too."

The person glared at Zhou Chen. 'What an idiot!' He wanted to understand more about the other party first so that he could make a better decision but Zhou Chen's words immediately made them enemies. He was forcing him to teach this brat a lesson. If not, he wouldn't be able to hold his head up high in Base 013 anymore. Everyone would think that he was afraid of this brat if he did not teach him a lesson.

The person hated Zhou Chen for saying this. No one could force him to do anything. Even if Zhou Chen came from the biggest family that supported his grandfather, he wouldn't forgive him so easily.

Zhou Chen's heart dropped when he felt Boss Song's cold gaze. He knew that he had offended his boss in his rush to take revenge on Li Yingjie. He remembered Boss Song's cruel methods of torture. Cold sweat formed on his forehead. The thought of revenge was quickly thrown to the back of his mind. He didn't even have the time to think of Lady Mei now as he was thinking of ways to pacify Boss Song so that he would let him off.

Boss Song turned to look at Li Yingjie. He clapped his hands lightly and laughed, "Did you hear what my friend said? Is that true?"

'If this brat back down, I would let him off for now. I need to get more information about him first before I take any action.'

"If your mecha clan is filled with people like him, what he said is exactly what I think." Li Yingjie looked at that bunch of people that got beaten up by Han Xuya who was still groaning in pain. He scoffed. In 250 Ace Mecha Clan, even the logisticians wouldn't want to hire these people.

Boss Song's expression turned dark. He could see that this brat in front of him was a rash idiot who didn't know when to give someone an out.

"If that is the case, I have to see what kind of people 250 Ace Mecha Clan is made out of." Boss Song sneered.

Although their mecha clan was not an ace mecha clan, all their mecha operators were special-class operators. There were even a few ace mecha masters among them. He was an ace mecha master too. It could be said that his mecha clan was on par with a normal ace mecha clan with a bunch of special and ace operators like 250. He knew this information because he went to ask the commanding officer beforehand and got the information that 250 Mecha Clan was such a mecha clan.

(The commanding officer: It is true that this mecha clan consists of a combination of special-class operators and ace mecha masters. However, I didn't mention the details just now. Around 95% of their total mecha operators are ace mecha masters. The number of special-class operators is less than 5% of their total mecha operators…)

"However, before we fight, let me introduce myself so that you know who you are fighting with. My name is Song Yiqing," Song Yiqing said calmly.

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up. He added hurriedly, "Our Boss Song's grandfather is the Second Marshal of the Federation. He is the Regiment Commander of 224 Mecha Clan which is under the 8th battalion. After he completes this mission, he will become the regiment commander of an ace mecha clan…" Zhou Chen told everyone Song Yiqing's background.

"You speak too much," Song Yiqing scolded him. However, the pride in his eyes was apparent.

Li Yingjie frowned. He didn't expect such a person to exist in this small base. This… he couldn't handle this person.

In the Federation, elite families and the military were two entirely different entities. Although the Li family was an elite family and had much presence outside, its influence in the military was less than a regiment commander that had real power. This was why the Li family wanted to control a military division. They wanted to have an actual say in the military world. However, the military kept its guard against the elite families too. They wanted to prevent a single family from becoming invincible. That was why the Li family's 4th division had many other factions in it. The other elite families also met the same situation. No matter how much effort they put in, they were unable to control an entire faction. Some elite families lost their chance to gain military power and became a collaborator of one of the marshals. The Zhou family was an instance of this.

Li Yingjie was arrogant and bossy but he was not stupid. He knew that he couldn't handle this person so he went to look for help.

"Qi Long! He is looking for you!"

Li Yingjie threw this troublesome fellow to Qi Long. Then, he disappeared quickly.

Since the Second Marshal was not on good terms with the Third Marshal, why not he let the heir of the 13th division, which was under the third marshal, play with Song Yiqing?
