Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang rested for a couple of minutes before he decided to endure the pain and moved in the direction indicated by the blinking lights. While running away from Yuu, the whole place had lights on, and he could not tell where he was going. He did not have the luxury to count his steps under the onslaught of the lady.

He crawled on the ground, inch by inch, like a worm. His body was riddled with wounds of varying degrees. His shoulders were broken, his legs were broken. He could not use his limbs to crawl or drag his body faster. The only relief he had was his intact torso. His balancing senses were restored when he was rest earlier.

As a Terran Cultivator, Shi Lang had a strong sense of endurance. But if somebody asked him to rate the beatings he received today, he would say that Jenkins’s hit was a tickle compared to this. The body was aching all over, every cell was crying in pain due to the vibrations sent inside his body. Every inch Shi Lang crawled, did not break him down but built him up.

As he crawled he became adamant about beating Instructor Yuu to the floor. He was not one of those who gave up in the face of disparity. He was the species that would endure and accumulate, and gradually they will come to stand in front of you and look down on you from the heights of the strong skies.

Shi Lang had always believed that his name meant for him to be like a stone in the waves, while it also meant for him to be a stone that could make waves. Thus, he decided to be the stone in the waves, and endure it all till he becomes strong enough to make waves. The boy took a couple of hours to crawl his way back to the infirmary.

Dalia sat on a chair, behind the open doors. She saw him crawl inside the place and said, “Be glad that I gave you the route where you could avoid the stairs.”

That said, she stood up and came to his side. She bent down and held Shi Lang up by the back of his neck as if he was a chicken. The jerk was so strong that it made the boy pass out. Dalia showed no mercy and flung his body on the bed. She was also a seven-star Terran. Her strength was not to be underestimated because she was a military doctor.

After she placed him on the bed, the treatment began.

…

Shi Lang did not know how much time he had been unconscious but he could sense that his wounds were being healed rapidly. During the rest time, his consciousness would slip in and out. At first, he would wake up from strong pain in his broken bones, the pain was so intense that he would wake up and then again faint.

Gradually the pain reduced and the boy could tell that his bones were repairing at a fast pace. He woke up to a similar white ceiling. He circulated the blood inside his body according to the technique he has been taught in the school. He sensed that his body was now healed and sat up slowly in the bed. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

He looked around to check the time when he sensed something tied on his left wrist. He raised his left arm and found that it was a communicator watch on his wrist. This watch allowed him to not only monitor time but also contact people and track his position as well. This was federal military gear. He wanted to ask why he was given this watch.

As if sensing his thoughts the communicator’s watch vibrated. The display showed an incoming call notification. He gestured to accept the call and heard a cold voice, “Report to the mess hall.”

This voice was his recent nightmare, and he dared not forget it. Shi Lang found that his clothes were changed. He was now wearing a black T-shirt and grey training pants. He spotted a set of grey shoes at the side. He liked the shoes as soon as he put them on. He had been to this room earlier and had counted the steps so he rushed out based on his memory.

…

When Shi Lang reached the mess hall, only Yuu was sitting on the dining table with a tray of food in front of her. The boy came to her side and saluted as he said, “Trainee Shi Lang, reporting, Madam.”

Yuu nodded and said, “Get some food.”

Shi Lang nodded and quickly got himself some food. Yuu did not ask him anything and said, “Today we will start learning about combat knowledge.”

She paused, then continued, “Combat is of three ranges, Close-range, Long-range, and Mid-range. We will start with Melee. Eat up and then we will leave.”

Shi Lang nodded and began to swallow the food. After five minutes they left the place. Yuu did not speak much and guided him silently through the corridors. The boy also did not speak and followed her steps in silence. After a few minutes, they arrived at the staircase that led them upstairs.

Shi Lang found himself standing in a scenery covered with concrete and metal. He spotted a simulation chair at the side. He was confused when Yuu said, “The time is less so we will practice inside the simulations, but have no doubts, this one can amplify the pain hundred percent. If I cut off your limb, then you will feel the same pain in the reality as well.”

Shi Lang gulped and cursed the inventor of this device. He sat down on a chair after Yuu and the two got inside the simulation realm.

…

Three hours ago, Shi Lang woke up and let out strong wails of pain. His body was intact, but the pain was killing him. Yuu did not react much to his wails and said, “Learn to combat with pain. Pain is the worst opponent, if you can defeat pain, you can defeat anyone.”

Shi Lang wanted to say that she was spouting bull shit but he did not have the energy. Thus, combat began with him losing his limbs completely, five times before the simulation ended.f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚
