It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Chapter 1112 Actual Rank: Major General!

The area Qi Long stood was completely torn up by the dimensional tear.

Everyone from Lingtian immediately had worried expressions on their face. They all turned to look at Ling Lan unconsciously, and they saw Ling Lan standing there calmly, without moving one bit.

‘Qi Long is fine!’ This was what everyone deduced by Ling Lan’s action or rather inaction.

Everyone was quickly relieved of their worries for Qi Long. If Boss didn’t act, it meant Qi Long definitely wasn’t in any life-threatening danger.

Bang!

The sound of flesh hitting directly on flesh resounded in the air.

A silhouette was sent into the air and then smashed onto the ground. After it rolled on the ground a few times, it leaped back on his head.

Lin Yang stood firmly. His right hand wiped the drip of blood from his lips as he glared at his previous location with a look of surprise.

At that location, Qi Long was calmly standing there with no injuries. He showed an honest smile on his face with a hint of an apologetic look as he cupped his fist and said, “Pleasure, Regiment Commander Lin.”

The dimension element sure-kill area of effect technique he used was actually useless against Qi Long. Rather than helping him, it instead gave Qi Long a chance to get close to him and hit him. He lost in a strange way, and he was speechless from it. What made Lin Yang feel even more annoyed was that he still didn’t know what Qi Long’s domain concept was.

“Leader Qi is indeed quite amazing. I’ve experienced it first hand.” The leader of Team 03 was indeed very strong. Then, were the team leaders of Team 01 and 02, the two major generals, even stronger?

The way everyone looked towards Lingtian was no longer like how they looked down on Lingtian at the very beginning. Instead, it was the look of fear. They didn’t think that such an inconspicuous and newly advanced titled super mecha clan was actually such a terrifying existence. With just their physical skills, Lingtian Mecha Clan was already on a similar tier with the legendary mecha clans. However, mecha clans were called mecha clans because mecha piloting was much more important than just physical skills. Now these other clans only hoped that the mecha piloting of the mecha operators from Lingtian Mecha Clan were not as strong as their physical skills.

“It was I who took advantage of you, Regiment Commander Lin. The information from the Military Research Institute helped me quite a lot with regards to your dimension element. Plus, Regiment Commander Lin held back as well and didn’t use any technique outside of the information available in the database,” Qi Long said apologetically. The honest looking face he had quickly wiped the dissatisfaction from the faces of many leaders from Slaughter Mecha Clan.

“In the end, it’s still Leader Qi’s domain concept that’s extraordinary...” Lin Yang knew well that even if he had used techniques outside of the information available in the database, he probably still wouldn’t have been able to do anything to Qi Long. His domain concept was too strange and abnormal to fight against.

Thinking about strange and abnormal, his gaze moved towards the side of Lingtian. Li Lanfeng was as abnormal and strange as Leader Qi Long. Although Qi Long didn’t seem to be too abnormal... Lin Yang still felt that the domains he had seen were actually not the real manifestation of their domain concepts.

Suddenly, his gaze narrowed because he saw a young man who wasn’t there before appear beside Li Lanfeng.

The difference when compared to other people beside Li Lanfeng was that this person had a white and blue cloak draped over his body. He was clearly different from all the others but looking at him now, he could easily be neglected by sight. However, once someone were to see him, they would definitely no longer be able to neglect this person’s existence.

Lin Yang suddenly stopped moving. When the people behind him noticed that he was looking in a specific direction, everyone’s gaze followed in the direction he was looking at.

Qi Long saw their Boss appear and instantly excitedly shouted, “Boss!”

Ling Lan’s eye twitched. She had already punished them so many times for calling her that, so how could these guys still not remember it?

“One month of training!” Ling Lan said coldly.

“Yes, regiment commander!” Qi Long accepted the punishment with a big smile on his face.

It seemed like she needed to increase the difficulty of the month-long training session, in case these guys take it as a fun activity and not punishment.

Qi Long and Ling Lan’s conversation proved the identity of this young man.

Lin Yang and the others would never have guessed that such an underwhelming individual was the regiment commander of such a strong clan like Lingtian. Their regiment commander wasn’t a veteran mecha operator like they had thought previously. He also wasn’t a well-known individual who was at their prime. Instead, their regiment commander was just someone who didn’t catch anyone’s eye. He was just an unknown and average young man.

“Regiment Commander Ling!” As the second seat commanding officer of Base Nebula, Lin Yang had managed to find out that the regiment commander of Lingtian had the surname Ling.

Ling Lan nodded. “Regiment Commander Lin.”

Afterwards, she looked towards Yu Wei and the other regiment commanders and greeted them all.

As expected, Lingtian had already gotten hold of the information on the mecha clans in the Base Nebula or at least they were familiar with the mecha clans that came to visit.

Li Lanfeng was quite smart at times like this. He walked up and took off Ling Lan’s cloak which showed the insignias on Ling Lan’s chest and shoulders.

“Major General!” Everyone’s eyes narrowed.

Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong were major generals. Although this information stunned them, they could still accept it. After all, these two individuals were already in their 40s to 50s. Plus, they were famous figures for quite a long time. With their military merits and achievements, advancing to the rank of major general was the natural course of their career. However, Ling Lan was different. Ling Lan was too young to be a major general. He was at most 25 years old. In the history of the Federation’s military, other than General Ling Xiao who had advanced to major general at that age 20 years ago, there wasn’t a second person in existence who could be on par with him.

Even those people who had god-like backgrounds and vast connections still needed to wait until they were at least 35 years old to have a chance of advancing to the rank of major general, and that rank would also just be a pseudo rank.

This Regiment Commander Ling was however a real major general! Was the Federation going to have another General Ling Xiao appear?

The bright looks on everyone’s faces had a hint of speechlessness. They were stunned by the fact that Ling Lan was able to advance to the rank of major general at such a young age.

“Major General Ling, please forgive our rudeness.” Lin Yang definitely didn’t believe that the military would play around with a real military rank. Especially if there were these many powerful individuals gathered here all at once.

Perhaps this super clan was created by the military in secret in order to take over for Proud Wind Mecha Clan. They were probably coming into the spotlight now because this clan had reached a point of maturity. Lin Yang and the other individuals thought about this in unplanned unison.

“No matter. I welcome it,” Ling Lan replied plainly. “The friendship between soldiers are all formed through battle.”

These words relieved everyone on the scene. The way Lin Yang, Yu Wei and the other regiment commanders also looked at Ling Lan with more acknowledgment. It seemed that Regiment Commander Ling wasn’t a lucky individual who rose to the top in one step. Only those who had experienced the brutality of war knew the real meaning of brothers-in-arms.

In reality, they were only in admiration of Lingtian Mecha Clan’s power, not the individuals from Lingtian Mecha Clan. Before this, Lingtian could be considered to be allied forces, but not their brothers-in-arms.

The seemingly two similar words actually had very different meanings. Allies were people who would help out when they have extra manpower. However, once the situation went out of the scope of their abilities, they would only just watch from the side. Only acknowledged brothers-in-arms would put their lives on the line and fight with each other side by side.

Without a doubt, Ling Lan’s words allowed these regiment commanders to have a good impression of Lingtian. They were no longer refusing the fact that Lingtian was here which would allow Lingtian to quickly meld in the base.

Of course, if Lingtian wanted to have real camaraderie with the mecha clans in Base Nebula, there was still a long road ahead of themselves. Lingtian needed to at least experience a bloody battle with the clans for that to happen. It was just as Ling Lan had said, the friendship between soldiers was created through battle.
