Chapter 362: Thunder King Qiao Ting!
Editor: H2dH2mr Ling Lan carefully controlled her body temperature.
At this ti, she was quite grateful that her innate talent was Ice Affinity, allowing her to make her body temperature match the temperature of the surroundings or even lower.
If she had not had this ability, her only option right now would have been to retreat out of the tunnel imdiately.
“Eh?” A surprised cry suddenly rang out from behind the tal door.
This gave Ling Lan a fright as she thought she had been discovered.
This surprised cry was even louder than the voices of conversation prior to this.
Ling Lan knew that the other must have been using the speakers of the cha so that all the other cha masters could hear him.
This was the reality without the presence of cheat code Little Four — mbers from different battle clans could not use the clan-specific comms channel to communicate.
This proved that these people were not all from the sa battle clan.
“Regint Commander, what’s wrong?” Hearing this startled cry, everyone inside the room reflexively paused, and soone soon spoke up to ask.
“I found that there is quite a crowd now in the advanced cha section at the front of the storehouse.
Quite a few cha have already been activated,” their regint commander replied.
It looked like after he successfully activated the ace cha, he had discovered the situation in the cha storehouse under the sensor prompting of the cha A.I..
“Actually having the sa idea as us?
Looks like quite a few people have co to the sa conclusion as you, Regint Commander, not optimistic about the outco of this battle,” soone suddenly exclaid.
“The military academy is a lair of crouching tigers and hidden dragons1 — for soone to think the sa as is not unusual,” responded the regint commander dispassionately.
This injected explanation from the side dampened his curiosity quite a bit.
Moreover, those others were only within the cha storehouse area and had only gotten as far as the advanced cha section at most.
It could be imagined that these people were not very high level in terms of cha operation.
If they were already at the level of special-class operator, they should have managed to make their way to this area.
With this thought, the regint commander tossed his discovery of these people to the back of his mind.
He paused and then asked those present, “Are you all ready?
If everything is ready, I’ll activate the launch port tunnel now.” “Regint Commander, I’m OK!” “Regint Commander, I’m ready.” “Regint Commander, everything is good to go.” Soon, there was a ssy chorus of responses.
Seeing everyone give the OK, the regint commander activated the launch port.
Ling Lan sensed that the regint commander’s attention was no longer on the outside, so she silently asked Little Four whether he could project the situation inside to her.
Little Four told her it was no problem — Ling Lan’s current level of spiritual power was enough to support this distance of long-range infiltration.
Not long after, a video feed of the situation inside was displayed in Ling Lan’s mind-space.
Inside the tal doors, it was still an extrely vast cha storehouse.
To both sides of the doors were many neat rows of black cha.
Although there were so minor alterations in particular spots on these cha, overall, they were largely the sa.
Each cha gave off a strong sense of fearso power.
Ling Lan did a rough count.
Each side had about 80 cha, so there were about 160 cha total.
It could be guaranteed that in the entire academy, there were actually not that many students who had already achieved special-class operator status.
Based on a distribution of one person per cha, there would at most be 160 people or so.
Besides, the military academy would of course prepare a few extra just in case.
Otherwise, if soone suddenly advanced to special-class operator status, without a special-class cha to match, the title of First n’s Military Academy would truly beco a joke.
Ling Lan was now well aware that this type of black cha that differed from the standard Federation cha was actually the Federation’s special-class cha.
At special class, cha would begin to display signs of personalisation.
This was because at this stage, the skills and techniques of operators would shift from the original regulated movents into their own personalised style of operation.
However, at this point, their style would not be properly developed yet.
As regular advanced cha could only accept standard commands, they could not satisfy the demands of an operator’s personalised operation style.
Yet an ace cha provided too much freedom in its controls that a special-class operator who had just stepped into the world of personalised operation would not be able to handle it well.
Under these circumstances, in order for these exceptional control seedlings to smoothly break through and advance to ace cha master status, after much dedicated research and design by several generations of cha engineers, the Federation finally created this sort of special-class cha to bridge the gap between advanced cha and ace cha.
Thus, special-class cha were not completely outside the scope of standardised cha, but at the sa ti, they also possessed so individualistic characteristics like ace cha.
Back during the assassination attempt on Ling Lan when she was six, that team of black cha which had appeared to help her was in fact a Federation cha battle clan of special-class operators.
However, up till now, Ling Lan still had not been able to find out who it was exactly who had helped her.
Ling Lan saw these tall and mighty cha, and she understood why this secret storehouse needed to be installed with a launch tunnel of its own.
The passage she had entered to get here did not have enough height or room to let these cha walk out.
Of course, what made Ling Lan drool with want was not these cha; right across from the tal doors stood a row of just five cha.
Each of these cha looked different, possessing clearly unique characteristics of its own.
One of these cha had already been activated at present and had been piloted out of its original fixed secured dock.
Ling Lan saw a long-range laser gun, which was about two-thirds the cha’s height, slung across the cha’s back, as well as a standard beam gun equipped on the cha, and she knew that this cha was primarily a long-range attack type.
That aside, the launch port the other had ntioned was to the right-hand side of the tal doors.
There was a circular tunnel there with enough space inside to accommodate four cha.
Right now, the access door to the tunnel had been opened.
A special-class cha at the forefront walked through it and the access door was quickly shut.
When the three warning lights over the door all turned green, a deep, dull sound could be heard …
“Boom!” Ling Lan felt a strong shockwave rush over her where she stood.
Imdiately afterwards, the cha inside the launch port was launched high up into the air by a large force, springing up several dozens of tres in one shot.
In the instant it was launched into the air, the cha’s engines began to roar.
Borrowing the force from the launch and the power of its thrusters, the cha instantly shot out from the launch port tunnel to fly above the military academy …
It looked like the people of Leiting were already familiar with this type of launch system.
They walked into the port one by one to be launched into the skies.
The final one to enter the port was the regint commander controlling the ace cha.
Recalling the rumours she had heard a while back, Ling Lan could already confirm that this regint commander must be the Thunder King Qiao Ting who had successfully advanced to beco an ace operator.
For so reason, after Qiao Ting had entered the tunnel, right when the automatic doors were about to close, the head of his cha abruptly turned to look in the direction of the tal doors.
This unexpected action startled Ling Lan — had the other sensed her?
Very soon, the automatic doors slid shut and she could no longer see the silhouette of the cha.
As expected, a few seconds later, Qiao Ting was launched out of the port like the other special-class operators.
Only then did Ling Lan relax.
Still, just to be sure, Ling Lan quietly waited for about a minute before approaching the tal door.
Little Four checked and found that the electrical systems of this tal door had not been tampered with.
Perhaps after reaching this point, the other party had been afraid that the launch port inside the room would be affected if they destroyed the systems here.
Thus, they had chosen to enter normally without applying brute force.
As long as the systems were working normally, Ling Lan could just walk in easy as a breeze with the help of the cheat code Little Four.
As she passed by the special-class cha, she found herself feeling sowhat regretful that none of the New Cadet Regint mbers had reached the level of special-class operator.
She suddenly thought of that special-class operator friend of the leopard — if he joined her team, then he would have been able to co operate these cha.
Ling Lan’s aim right now was naturally not the special-class cha; her objective was those few ace cha.
Being able to operate an ace cha in real life was sothing Ling Lan had been dreaming of.
Back then on planet Demonbeast, the cha Ling Lan had been operating was actually not an ace cha but a special-class cha.
In the military, special-class cha were lumped together under the term ace cha, with only the words ‘secondary’ or ‘substitute’ added to the title.
Those three ‘ace’ cha she had finished off then had also only been special-class operators of Twilight.
After a period of baptism in war, special-class operators would gradually form and perfect their individual operation style and techniques, which would allow them to officially ascend to ace operator status.
This was why they were called ‘substitute aces’ by the ground forces.
It should be said that Ling Lan was very lucky that she had not truly encountered true ace operators back then.
Otherwise, with her barely ford operation style, even if she had only been up against one battle-experienced ace operator, she would have been hard-pressed to win, not to ntion that she had been up against three cha operators back then.
Since Qiao Ting had taken one of the ace cha, there were only four cha remaining.
Still, Ling Lan was transfixed by them, staring at them with abnormal excitent.
Aside from appearing humanoid like the other cha, the leftmost cha had two wings sprouting from its back at a diagonal angle.
Based on Ling Lan’s knowledge, this should be a transforr-type cha.
In other words, it would beco a humanoid cha at close range, and transform into a flying cha when attacking at long range.
It could be considered one of the more balanced cha.
This cha’s specialty was speed.
None of the other ace cha here would be able to match it in terms of speed; even its close-range combat manoeuvres would be based on speed.
However, what would showcase its speed best was when it transford into its aviation mode.
At that ti, putting its entire power into it, at top speed, it would be able to draw away or pull in close in an instant.
This would guarantee that an enemy would be unable to ditch it regardless if they were close-range cha or long-range cha.
At the sa ti, this speed was also a ans of protection.
Whenever its operator found themselves on the losing end, they would be able to pull away swiftly and escape from the opponent’s attack range.
If a common cha were to et this type of cha in battle, it would be destroyed by it without having any chance to counterattack at all.
As for its long-range capabilities, other than that long-range humanoid cha Qiao Ting had piloted away, only the bestial cha known as the might have so advantage against it.
The second cha in the line-up was precisely the cha that was just ntioned previously.
It was the cha that might overpower the transforr ace cha by a head in terms of long-range attacks — the bestial ace cha .
藏龙卧虎: I decided to stick with a pretty literal translation here because the imagery is just too cool for words.
Haha, but also, the taphor cos across pretty well, I think.
Basically, the school is filled with hidden talents.
