Chapter 881: My World!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Bang! Bang! Bang! Ling Lan slashed her sword three times. With each slash, the force behind the sword was greater than the last, and with the final slash, the team leader of this small team lost his balance and fell down from the sky.

"Damn it!" The team leader felt frustrated. Under the ferocious and fast attacks of Ling Lan, he was unable to unleash his full strength. Hence, he could only passively defend himself. 'Is he really just a normal ace operator?'

When the team members saw their team leader falling to the ground, they exclaimed in shock.

"Team leader!" They wanted to help their team leader but the mecha operators from team 03 held them back with their unrelenting attacks. Team 03 had more mecha operators than them so each imperial operator had to deal with two mecha operators from team 03 fighting with him. However, as imperial operators, they were still able to even out the situation. They couldn't retreat but they were not at a disadvantage too. This proved that the ability of an imperial operator and an ace mecha master were vastly different.

The team leader couldn't allow himself to be on the losing end in front of his team members. The pent up frustration of him not being able to proactive attack came bursting out which allowed him to release his full strength. Around 100 meters from the ground, he managed to stabilize his mecha.

Ling Lan followed closely behind him. She raised her sword and prepared to kill this team leader once and for all.

Hzzg! Ling Lan felt her sword cutting through the air. Her opponent actually dodged her attack.

Everyone spectating the fight saw the team leader suddenly twisting his mecha to the left in a seemingly impossible way. This unexpected movement allowed him to evade the fatal blow.

Qi Long narrowed his eyes when he saw this. This movement was similar to the technique his Boss had taught him. 'Did Hailiya manage to learn Boss's ultimate technique? Did someone from their team betrayed their Boss and the Federation?'

The team leader looked at the data on his screen and cursed silently. That single movement destroyed two of his secondary engines. This kind of unexpected movement which go against inertia relied heavily on the mecha's engine. But, to dodge the fatal blow, he had no choice but to make this sacrifice.

However, he still managed to turn the tides around. Even with one engine, he could fight with this mecha and show Ling Lan who was the actual boss.

The team leader raised his sword and spun it around. Then, he slashed it at Ling Lan, who had lost her balance.

"Ah, regiment commander!" This time, the members of team 03 were the ones feeling agitated.

But, their worry was for nothing. Ling Lan lost her balance but she twisted her mecha's leg and kicked her opponent's giant sword away.

Bang! Ling Lan made use of the force from this kick to distance herself from her opponent. Then, she stabilized herself.

Bang bang bang! When the team leader saw that Ling Lan was trying to distance himself from him, he started to go on the offensive. He propelled himself forward and attacked Ling Lan furiously.

Ling Lan blocked all the attacks without any error. These two instances show that Ling Lan was able to switch between attacking and defending seamlessly. Only the team leader of this God-Killers team was able to be on par with Ling Lan in this aspect.

When they saw their regiment commander blocking the attacks perfectly, the members of team 03 heaved a sigh of relief. However, this was just the beginning of their end. The members of the God-Killers got stunned by the abilities of team 03 but as imperial operators, they adapted to the situation quickly. When they saw their team leader taking control of the fight, they started to concentrate to take control of their fights too.

Clang! A mecha from team 03 didn't dodge in time and got hit. It managed to escape the fatal blow but one of its arms was still chopped off. If his teammate didn't cover him up in time, he would already be killed.

Ling Lan, who was in an intense fight with the team leader, was burning with anxiety. They needed to kill this team quickly. If they could not kill all of them before their reinforcements arrive, they would all be dead.

Ling Lan gritted her teeth. Her gaze turned cold as she decided to use the forbidden skill that Mu Shui-qing banned her from using.

"Ling Lan, this technique you thought of is very powerful, even I have to be careful when using it. However, you must know that the stronger your technique is, the greater the backlash will be. Once the backlash exceeds your tolerable range, your spiritual power will be permanently damaged, which might affect your future advancements. Please be aware of this." Ling Lan remembered the warning Mu Shui-qing gave her.

"Master, I know what can be done and what can't be done. My future is important but it's nothing compared to the lives of my comrades." Ling Lan's gaze turned resolute as she activated the forbidden skill.

The portion of her spiritual power that had been sealed got released in full force. The sudden rush of spiritual power frightened Little Four greatly. He shouted in agitation, "Boss, you're crazy."

Although Ling Lan's body was especially strong now, Ling Lan's spiritual power was even stronger. After learning the skills of the Divine Command sect from Mu Shui-qing, her spiritual power became so strong that even Little Four was in awe.

But to ensure Ling Lan's safety, Little Four sealed a portion of Ling Lan's spiritual power. He didn't expect Ling Lan to unseal this portion of spiritual power personally.

"Little Four, if anything happens to me, you'll take control of the mecha temporarily." Ling Lan dared to use this method because she knew that Little Four was here to help her if anything was to go wrong. If she suffered from a backlash and was unable to control her mecha, Little Four would be able to take over the mainframe of her mecha and help her escape.

Little Four wanted to say something, but when he saw Ling Lan's resolute gaze, he bit his lips and nodded.

Spiritual power could be seen visible seeping through the cockpit of her mecha. Waves of spiritual power came crashing down on everyone. But in Ling Lan's eyes, the time had stopped moving. No, time didn't stop, it just got slower. It moved so slowly that Ling Lan was not able to feel it.

This was her spiritual world. In this world, her vision pierced through the cockpit of all the members of the God-Killers team and the members of team 03. She could see... the dread, the nervousness and the excitement on their faces.

"This is my world. If I want it to exist, it'll exist. If I want to destroy it, it'll be gone." Ling Lan's eyes turned cold. "Yin Yang World, devour and devote. Activate!"

The peaceful spiritual world started to swirl clockwise, warping everything in the scene into two different coloured Taichi fishes. Half of the spiritual world turned into a black fish with serene white eyes as its eyes started devouring and twisting all the energy present, draining all of the spiritual power of half the spiritual world. The other half of the spiritual world turned into a white fish with calm ink black eyes. Energy was continuously gushing out from the ink black eyes of the white fish continuously, filling up half of the spiritual world with spiritual power.

This was a frightening and powerful technique that Ling Lan had comprehended when her spiritual power exploded not long after she graduated from the military academy. It was a domain but it also wasn't domain. The peculiar energy cycle this technique created had a peculiar way of functioning. As the Taichi ring got bigger, the energy cycle between the two sides would get faster and faster. As the speed of the energy cycle increases, the backlash Ling Lan would suffer would also increase.

At some point, Ling Lan couldn't handle it anymore and she vomited out mouthfuls of blood. Blood spattered on the controls of the mecha, staining it red.

Chapter 882: Regurgitation!

At the same time, the small team of God-Killers members suddenly felt their heads were hit by something hard and dull. Their hands making moving around in their cockpit instantly stopped and the large sword that were moving towards their opponents' mechas stopped as well. It was as though someone had hit the pause button on the world.

On the other hand, mecha operators in team 03 felt their minds were being cleared thoroughly as if they had meditated for a few hours. The exhaustion from their body and mind disappeared in an instant. How could they let a chance where their spiritual power was replenished go to waste? In unplanned unison, they activated their strongest techniques and ruthlessly attacked their opponents.

Ling Lan fought through the dizziness and pain that were brought from the backlash of the technique, and decisively landed her strongest attack on the team leader.

"Bang, bang, bang..." A continuous sound of swords slashing against their cockpit rang through the cockpits of the God-Killers one mecha after another. All of the mecha operators in team 03 executed techniques that went straight towards a vital point.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"...A continuous sound of explosion rang through the air, causing the entire sky to erupt with loud noise. The broken pieces of mechas fell from the sky with smoke and fire coming out of them, smashing onto the ground with a giant thud.

Those ruthless attacks made by mecha operators in team 03 completely wiped out this small team of God-Killers. This included the leader who Ling Lan was fighting against.

Qi Long looked at the burning debris below them with a stunned expression. He felt that he shouldn't have lived past this battle. He originally thought that they would be the ones to become pieces of debris in the middle of nowhere, not their opponents.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go." Ling Lan's hoarse and strained voice rang through all of the commlink channels of the team members.

This voice was different compared to the cold tone of voice they were used to.

"Boss, are you alright?" Qi Long still couldn't help but ask worriedly. His Boss sounded like he sustained a severe injury.

"It's fine. Let's retreat first." Ling Lan stopped Qi Long from questioning her any further and made Qi Long lead team 03 to quickly retreat.

Hearing Ling Lan's orders, team 03's members didn't dare to stay there any longer so they all piloted their mechas away quickly.

Although they didn't say anything, they knew fully well what had happened just now. They could imagine that the feeling they felt was definitely because their regiment commander used a secret or forbidden technique to hold the 12 mecha operators from the God-Killers in place, which allowed them to successfully defeat their opponents.

There were many secret and forbidden techniques among the elite families in the Federation. Even if they had never seen one, they would still have been able to see the top-secret military documents before they left their military positions. It was just that after using a secret or forbidden technique, there would be an extreme backlash towards the user. This made the team members become worried about their regiment commander's injuries.

"The battles after this must be fought by all you now." When they were flying away quickly, Ling Lan told team 03 the bad news.

Qi Long and the others immediately understood. Their regiment commander's injuries were so severe that he could no longer fight.

"Understood Boss. Just leave the fighting to us now," said Qi Long earnestly.

He had once said that if someone wanted to hurt his Boss, they must get past his cold dead body. However, he had never reached that point yet. Every time, he could only watch as his Boss faught by himself. This time, he must take his Boss back to the base safely. He made this promise with his life.

"Then, I'll leave it to you Qi Long." Ling Lan chose to believe in Qi Long. After saying those words, she could no longer hold on and passed out.

Seeing this, Little Four immediately controlled Ling Lan's mecha to fly it forward properly.

Little Four could control the optical supercomputer to fly the mecha perfectly. However, battling was something that required ample amounts of experience, something Little Four lacked. When faced with attacks, he wouldn't be able to accurately go against them accordingly. This was why Ling Lan handed over the fighting to Qi Long and not to Little Four.

Although Little Four was a god in the virtual world, he was still a newbie when it comes to mecha battling. He was definitely unable to fight in a high-level mecha battle.

Therefore, Little Four just concentrated on controlling Ling Lan's mecha while being frustrated with himself. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't break through the optical supercomputers of those mechas, his Boss wouldn't have used her forbidden technique. In the end, he was still too weak.

He remembered in the database that those who were of his species and stronger were able to take control of the enemy's optical supercomputer's mainframe in an instant. Little Four decided that he must be as strong as them to not let his Boss feel this pain ever again.

While Little Four was frustrated, Ling Lan was unconscious in the cockpit. Her original mindspace that was full of life was no longer a vast and limitless spiritual ocean. Now, it was only an endless desolate desert.

Using a vast amount of spiritual power instantly and using a forbidden technique drained all of her spiritual power in an instant. This was why Ling Lan became unconscious. There wasn't enough spiritual power for Ling Lan to stay awake.

Right at that moment, inside the center of her spiritual power sea, the white and sparkling egg-shape created from the time they were going to Planet Juhao, which was Ling Lan's spiritual power core, suddenly began to tremble. The spiritual power core was originally devouring the extra spiritual power Ling Lan had continuously. Now, because Ling Lan's spiritual power had been completely depleted by using a forbidden technique, it suddenly turned from devouring to releasing.

Soon, the dried up spiritual power sea was filled up once again. This time, it was even more pure than before. If Ling Lan's previous spiritual power had some sort of violent nature causing her spiritual power sea to be in a state of unrest before, it was now as peaceful as a mirror surface. If no one went to touch it, they would think it was an actual sea and not a spiritual power sea.

Ling Lan regained consciousness. She looked at her own spiritual power space and couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Is this my mindscape?" From the violent and raging mindscape, Ling Lan entered a seemingly solidified world. Ling Lan was dumbfounded. She closed her eyes and raised her hand. Suddenly, a portion of her spiritual power flew out from the silent and solidified mindscape and moved along with her finger's movements.

"This is the real telekinesis!" Ling Lan was overjoyed as she watched the spiritual power happily dance around her finger. Normally, she must concentrate on controlling her spiritual power to use spiritual power techniques. It wasn't like now where she only had to think it and her spiritual power would follow her whims.

'Could it be that the spiritual power core had the effect of taking in pure spiritual power?' Ling Lan finally understood the secrets of the white spiritual power core. However, if it wasn't for her luck that made her use a forbidden technique which depleted the spiritual power inside her mindscape, perhaps she would have never known what the spiritual power core could do in her lifetime, as the spiritual power core was fickle. It would definitely not spit out the spiritual power it had devoured when she still had spiritual power in her mindscape.

Ling Lan also felt the damage the training her spiritual power had done to the mindspace in the past few years was slowly being repaired because of the spiritual power core's regurgitation. Ling Lan didn't think something that was originally a huge crisis actually was a blessing in the end. Instead of being a danger, it resolved some of the underlying issues with her mindspace.

However, Ling Lan also knew that she shouldn't use the forbidden techniques too often. After all, the spiritual power within the core wasn't limitless. This time, it replenished Ling Lan's depleted spiritual power just once, and it had already caused the original sparkling white color core to become faint. Ling Lan felt that the energy within it was almost all used up. If she used the forbidden technique again, her mindspace would actually break apart.

After thinking about the consequences, Ling Lan became very afraid. If her mindspace was to break apart, even if she regained her consciousness back, she would no longer be able to live as a normal person in this lifetime and would have to live like how she lived in her past life. This was why Mu Shui-qing warned her that unless she was in a moment of life-or-death, she shouldn't use this forbidden technique.

Chapter 883: Loyally Serving the Country!

Ling Lan felt that her spiritual power didn't have any more problems now, so she wanted to continue to pilot her mecha. However, she discovered that she couldn't leave her mindscape and was stuck there.

"Little Four, Little Four." Ling Lan called for her omnipotent underling, Little Four.

"Boss, you're awake? That's great!" Little Four instantly appeared in Ling Lan's mindscape. He shouted with joy when he saw that Ling Lan had regained consciousness.

"Little Four, why am I stuck in my mindscape and unable to return to my physical body?" Ling Lan asked with a frowning expression.

Hearing this, Little Four immediately examined Ling Lan's spiritual power sea and her physical body. He felt the pure and limitless spiritual power within Ling Lan's mindscape. There were some terrifying forces in there that even terrified Little Four. Little Four ignored them and quickly searched through his database to find the cause of Ling Lan's predicament. In the end, he found a note in the corner of his database that was related to Ling Lan's current situation.

"Boss, it might be because the spiritual power in your mindscape is too pure. Although it's still the same space, the power it is holding now is hundreds or thousands of times stronger than what it was before. Your body may not be able to withstand the spiritual power and handle it. Thus, your body instinctively rejected the original consciousness from the body." Little Four told Ling Lan the reason for her current situation.

"I can never return to my physical body anymore?" Ling Lan was stunned after hearing his explanation.

"No, as long as your body adapted to your spiritual power, your consciousness would automatically return to your physical body and take control of it once again."

"Then, how much time does my body needs to adapt to it?" Ling Lan was anxious, as she didn't forget the situation her physical body was in. There were
