Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1295

“I already tried that. The more energy I give, the more it gets devoured, so the amount of energy left for Xie Yi is negligible. Not only that… Just take a look for yourselves.” Number One wiggled his fingers and countless bands of light flowed towards Xie Yi's dim spiritual power core to replenish its energy. However, after the energy entered the core, the core was still just as dim as before. Moreover, instead of brightening, the minute black dot in the center of the core started expanding, causing the core to seem even dimmer than before.

“That's Devour energy?” Number Four covered her mouth and gasped in shock.

Number One flicked his finger again, stopping the flow of energy.

“No matter how much I give him, it doesn't replenish him, instead, my energy nourishes the Devour energy…” Number One said helplessly. Looking at the growing black dot, there was almost zero chance of Xie Yi surviving this predicament.

“Is there really no hope?” Number Three, who treated Ling Lan as his own daughter, couldn't bear the thought of Ling Lan becoming sad from losing a friend. Number Nine also felt the same way.

“Whether Xie Yi can have any hope of surviving would depend on Little Blossom.” Number One sighed as he remembered Little Blossom's unknown fate. If Little Blossom couldn't wake up, then Xie Yi couldn't survive too. Only Little Blossom, who also had a similar type of Devour energy, could perhaps help solve this seemingly impossible problem.

After hearing Number One being pessimistic about the Xie Yi's fate, all the eight other instructors sighed. They already couldn't determine Little Blossom's life or death, not to mention Xie Yi.

“It's just that we can't contact Ling Lan. That is the real problem…” Number Nine's steeled look had a hint of worry.

“It will all depend on Ling Lan now,” said Number One plainly. Without Little Four, even if the instructors had immense strength, they still wouldn't be able to open the learning s.p.a.ce with the restriction the learning s.p.a.ce placed on them. However, as the host, even without Little Four, as long as Ling Lan's spiritual power was strong enough, she would be able to open a path to the learning s.p.a.ce.

In reality, it was all on Ling Lan on whether Little Four could recover and whether Little Blossom could wake up. If Ling Lan couldn't open a path to the learning s.p.a.ce, the learning s.p.a.ce wouldn't be able to siphon any energy from Ling Lan. If this state of energy absence continued for too long, then the instructors would be out of energy and fall into a state of hibernation. If that happened, Little Four and Little Blossom would never recover.

All the instructors knew that the future of everyone in this room was all in Ling Lan's control.

“Try your best Ling Lan!” Number Nine clenched her fists tighty. The child she taught definitely would not disappoint her.

“Don't worry. Ling Lan's our most prized disciple, unless Number Two was selfish enough to not teach all the spiritual power techniques to Ling Lan.” Number Five glanced at the shadowy area beside Number One with a smirk on his face.

After hearing those words, all the instructors looked towards that shadow. Perhaps their gazes were too fiery, Number Two, who was usually calm and collected, could hold it in anymore. He slowly crawled out of the shadow and said calmly, “I've taught what should be taught. What shouldn't be taught…”

Everyone raised their eyebrows and waited for him to finish his sentence.

Number Two's cold looking expression had a bit of disheveled look to it. “…I also taught”

After saying that, he went back into the shadow. He didn't want to show himself again.

Number One looked at the surprised faces on everyone. He knew that if he didn't explain it clearly, these people wouldn't leave. Thus he said, “Ling Lan… is known for being pushy.” No matter if it was for herself or when training others.

Everyone understood what he meant. They all had lessons they didn't want to teach to Ling Lan, but when such a hardworking child studied under them with a fiery thirst for knowledge, they could only relent and teach her everything they knew. They didn't expect Number Two, who was cold and not a people person, to not be able to hold against Ling Lan's pushiness. They also realized Number Two was actually not that different from them when it came to matters about Ling Lan.

At the s.p.a.ceport of Planet General, a gigantic Destruction Devil slowly docked itself.

At the same time, the news of Lingtian Independent Army's high-ranking officers arriving on Planet General was sent to all the departments within the government of Planet General

“Reporting in, sir. Lingtian Independent Army's vice commander, brigade leaders, and department heads have arrived on Planet General.” The Flying Dragon Special Forces also received the news.

Ling Xiao lifted his head and monotonously spoke to the adjutant who came in to report Lingtian's arrival, “Got it.” After acknowledging the adjutant, he lowered his head and continued to read through the doc.u.ments in his hands.

Recently, Ling Xiao had been restructuring the Flying Dragon Special Forces. The relaxed and indolent atmosphere in the Flying Dragon Special Forces was long gone. Every department and every battle team were like standing strands of hair, being constantly on standby.

The adjutant saw that his chief was busy so he didn't dare to disrupt him any further. He softly walked out of the chief's office.

After the automatic door closed behind him, he breathed in a huge breath of air. Recently, the pressure the chief was exerting was getting heavier and heavier. In the past, he would still dare to crack a few jokes with the chief when the chief wasn't busy. Now, he would feel more suffocated the longer he stayed with the chief.

It was possible that General Ling Xiao's death had changed the chief.

The adjutant had always been Ren Feiyu's confidant. He knew very well that the chief was a cla.s.smate who grew up together with General Ling Xiao. Although they competed against each other and didn't see eye to eye, the relationship between them was very good.

The chief was definitely thinking about taking revenge for the general. It was probably why he changed his reactionary att.i.tude into something more proactive like ruthlessly restructuring the Flying Dragon Special Forces.

As the adjutant of the chief of the Flying Dragon Special Forces, he definitely supported the chief's decision. As the strongest special forces in the entire galaxy, he had always been proud of being a member of the Flying Dragon Special Forces. However, in the past few years, the Flying Dragon Special Forces had been slowly rotting from the inside. Politics was slowly incorporated into every matter of the Federation, the brigade leaders didn't trust anyone, and the other teams leaders were forming their own factions, splitting the whole special forces into small segmented pieces. Looking at the current deteriorated state of the Flying Dragon Special Forces was making him depressed.

He had reported this deteriorated state to the chief in the past, but the chief chose to place his trust in the brigade leaders, trusting that they could resolve the matter themselves. However, by placing his trust in them, in the last 10 or so years, nothing had a turn for the better, not to mention the unresolved problems. It was instead becoming worse and worse. After seeing hope of turning the Flying Dragon Special Forces for the better, he was in full support of the chief's reform. He hoped this could relight the fire burning inside of the Flying Dragon Special Forces. He wanted to see the Flying Dragon Special Forces returning back to their rightful throne.

The adjutant clenched his fists until veins were popping from his arms with an excited look on his face. He admired the chief even more now. It felt like his entire body was filled with strength. This was the version of the chief that he had swore an oath to serve. His chief had finally returned.

After the doors closed, Ling Xiao raised his head with his right hand softly covering half of his face. He had a devilish smile on his face. “All the actors are on the stage. The show is about to start. Qi Yaoyang, don't disappoint me.”

At that moment, at General Ling Xiao's manor, a few important members of the upper echelons of the 23rd Division's departments came to visit.

The person leading the group was the 23rd Division's chief of staff, Lieutenant General He Xuyang.

The guard took He Xuyang and the others into a living room to wait. After a short while, Lan Luofeng walked into the living room with a clean cut uniform.

“Madam!” All the officers immediately stood up and saluted Lan Luofeng.

“No need for greetings. Everyone, please sit.” Lan Luofeng gestured for everyone to sit and speak freely.
