    After Ling Lan improved her hand speed, she worked on maintaining the speed. By the time she ended her meditation, her speed was stabilized at around 59.93 seconds to 59.98 seconds, which proved that her results were not based on luck. However, if she wanted to go lower than 59.90 seconds, it would still require some time.


    Ling Lan was not dejected, as she had never expected herself to advance to imperial rank while she was still a third-year student. Now that she had ovee the hardest obstacle, she merely needed to practice her hand speed and find a suitable [S]-rank technique for herself. If everything went smoothly, she would be able to be an imperial operator before she graduated. Ling Lan was not worried about the upgrading of her techniques, as she had Little Four and Instructor Number Three; they could help her analyze and guide her whenever she needed them.


    By the time Ling Lan came out of her mediation, Lingtian had almostpleted all their battles. After Lingtian defeated the original eight powerful mecha ns, most of the other smaller mecha ns chose to avoid battle. Only a few of the mecha ns didn’t want to give up and fought against them. The ns that avoided battle were given a three months grace period. After the three months passed, they would not be able to avoid battling Lingtian again.


    The members of the Lingtian Mecha n were very happy at their decision, as the participants in the weekly battles had never managed to get any rest at all. The several months of battle had tired them out mentally. If all the mecha ns coborated with one another and battled with them continuously for a few months, Lingtian might be defeated.


    However, no one wanted to be the object of sacrifice. Lingtian had gotten the chance to stop fighting for a while and by the time the other mecha ns realized this, it was toote; Ling Lan had alreadye out of her meditation and this meant that they had no chances at all now.


    By the end of the year, Lingtian had unified the mecha ns of the military academy. All the mecha ns merged into the Lingtian Mecha n and it became the only mecha n in the military academy. As the first regimentmander, Ling Lan became the king of the military academy and the achievements of Lingtian were written into the school’s history. Ling Lan became the first king of the military academy that received an acknowledgement by the school personally.


    One year ago, the higher authorities of the school had thought of ways and means to create a god, but they had never expected that one yearter, someone would be a god without their effort. The school’s authorities had mixed emotions, while the principal and Tang Yu, on the other hand, were ted—Ling Lan belonged to their faction. However, in order to protect Ling Lan, they could not show their happiness on their face.


    Even after bing king, there were still challenges for Ling Lan. When the new year started, the second-years could apply to start a new mecha n and a new round of battles would begin again.


    As a super mecha n, Lingtian suffered from many internal conflicts. The members that became merged into the n didn’t listen to the leaders of Lingtian, while the original leaders of the merged ns allowed their members to create troubles; they would always quarrel with the original Lingtian members. Many people even chose to leave Lingtian to be lone wolves.


    The Lingtian Mecha n chose to kick out those leaders and members that created trouble for them, as there was no need for so many people to stay in Lingtian. To Ling Lan, her ideal mecha n consisted of elite individuals. And even if these individuals sincerely wanted to join them, she would arrange tests for them. Only those who passed the test could enter their n.


    However, Ling Lan was not so heartless. For those who didn’t want to pledge their allegiance to them but never provoked the members of Lingtian, Ling Lan ced them into sub-ns built especially for them so that they could govern themselves.


    In actual fact, Ling Lan also didn’t like to use members who came from other mecha ns. She always thought that the Lingtian Mecha n’s elite members had to be brought up by herself. She liked to recruit freshmen and guide them personally. These members would have a sense of belonging to the Lingtian Mecha n.


    Based on this set of criteria, Ling Yi was spotted very quickly. He was outstanding in all areas so Wu Jiong admired his talent and focused on training him. Ling Yi worked even harder. He knew that he was getting closer to his Master Lan.


    Ling Lan became a fourth-year. That year, only a few freshmen set up new mecha ns. Ling Lan didn’t send them a letter of challenge the moment they formed their ns, as that would be an action unbing of a powerful individual.


    Most of the freshmen entered Lingtian, which became a real super mecha n. Lingtian built a perfect upgrading system for its freshmen. In order to enter the elite team, they needed to go through many tests and missions, as this was the only way to achieve their dream position and have the king of the military academy guide them personally.


    The Lingtian Mecha n grew very fast and operated efficiently. Ling Lan let go of the reins of the Lingtian Mecha n after the new upgrading system was put in ce. Her main focus now was to train herrades. She put all the things that she learned during her closed-door meditation to good use.


    Ling Lan didn’t ask herrades to practice their mecha piloting; instead, she resumed the physical training that they went through when they were first-years. Her training was harder and fiercer than the military academy’s training. All of herrades had a hard time.


    This was the special training grounds of the military academy, which was a few thousands of meters wide and had all kinds of physical training equipment present. There were also running tracks and obstacle courses...


    At this moment, a person was sitting on a chair in the middle of the training grounds. The person ced her hand on her chin and looked at the people diagonally in front of her who were doing the obstacle course.


    The people in front looked fine despite panting heavily, but the three people at the end of the group didn’t seem good. They staggered and looked as if they would faint at any moment.


    One of them couldn’t lift his leg anymore and lost his bnce when he kicked a small stone on the ground. He fell forward and mmed into the person in front of him, who couldn’t dodge in time and also fell.


    “I am going to die here today.” Chang Xinyuanid on the ground and stared hopelessly at Han Jijyun who had fallen because of him. His face was filled with tears and nasal mucus and he didn’t look anything like a mecha engineer.


    Even when this kind of incident had urred, his boss, the regimentmander of the Lingtian Mecha n, Ling Lan, continued to look at them coldly and didn’t stop the training.
