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 slas.h.i.+ng against their c.o.c.kpit rang through the c.o.c.kpits of the G.o.d-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, smas.h.i.+ng onto the ground with a giant thud.
Those ruthless attacks made by mecha operators in team 03 completely wiped out this small team of G.o.d-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 hoa.r.s.e 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 G.o.d-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 doc.u.ments 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 pa.s.sed 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 G.o.d 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 c.o.c.kpit. Her original minds.p.a.ce 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 s.p.a.ce 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 minds.p.a.ce 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 minds.p.a.ce.
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 minds.p.a.ce would actually break apart.
After thinking about the consequences, Ling Lan became very afraid. If her minds.p.a.ce 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.
