Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang gazed at the blue lightning rolling among the dark clouds and patiently waited. He could tell that this time the experience will be different from what he had in his past life. Although his soul was planted in this body through a genuine process and was not possessing this body, it still was an ancient soul. Heavens might not overlook this.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as he rushed towards a more desolate area. OB-One has already bypassed all the surveillance of this place according to his instructions. They will not be detected, even if the enemy was sly, the collective level of arcadian technology was still too lagging to detect the master of it all, OB-One.

This bot was a piece of work and Shi Lang had thought many times that if this bot was to be his enemy it might probably lead him to death to face him. At this moment, the bot was looking at the team of three people and also paying attention to the detention center. He found that the three people were not affected at all.

The reason he was so sure was the spirit flow in the bodies of these people compared to the ones under control. The technology used to make him was so advanced that OB-One despite being a puppet with a spirit could detect all the things related to spirit energy.

He contacted Shi Lang and said, “Sire, the team is fine and not affected by anything.”

“Alright, let me focus on this tribulation. Guard the area well.”, said Shi Lang.

OB-One contacted the team and then gave them the task to protect Shi Lang, he also mentioned that they must maintain a distance of a thousand meters at any moment, and despite what they witnessed, they were not to get closer to Shi Lang.

The team was confused but when they spread out, they realized what was going on. They could not help but feel a tremor in their hearts. They were shocked at this act of madness happening in front of them. How can a man stand still when a streak of lightning was slithering through the void and was about to hit him?

Just as they were thinking, the bold of lightning landed on Shi Lang’s head and sent him flying for at least ten meters, making the land below scorched and setting the trees around on fire. Shi Lang’s suit was damaged with just one blow. Ryan wanted to rush in when Jack said, “Have you forgotten the commands? Do not move. I sense dense spiritual energy radiating from that lightning bolt. It must be something related to cultivation, calm down and wait.”

Ryan stood still, and a few minutes later, Shi Lang’s body trembled, as he stood up. He sighed and said, “You know it was not my fault back then, can you not be gentle?”

As if replying to his words, the dark clouds rumbled loud, making the land tremor a little, then another streak of lightning began to condense amidst the clouds. The color of the bold was a much darker shade of blue.

Shi Lang smacked his lips and said, “I am a jinx.”

As his words finished the lightning charged, and after a flash, Shi Lang was seen flying to crash into a few trees and then making peace with the scorched ground. The impact was twice stronger and the suit on his body already had a few pieces missing.

Shi Lang took a long time to stand up, and this time, a red snake of lightning rushed down from the sky to hit him square on his chest. The impact cracked the ground and sent Shi Lang flying for sixty meters and leaving a shallow crater on the ground.

Jack gulped a mouthful of saliva and said, “I do not think this is related to cultivation, but maybe the heavens are angry at the boss.”

The other two nodded, they could not believe that there might be something this brutal related to cultivation. Well, they have never seen such a sight so they did not know, they were all inexperienced if it was to be said.

However, after the third bolt of lightning, the sky decided to take pity and spare Shi Lang. The person in question was laying on the ground, with his mouth emitting shallow groans and blood seeping out from the corner of his lips. The clouds slowly faded and a ray of warm sunlight fell on Shi Lang’s injured body.

This was heaven’s reward for someone who had passed the test. The ray of sunlight healed his body at a visible rate, it was such a miraculous sight. Shi Lang gained his ability to move, but he was busy digesting the benefits bought by the heavenly reward. He was feeding everything he gained to the primordial soul.

It took him two hours to digest everything and finally, he sat up on the ground. He noticed that the suit on his body was gone, sighing he looked in the direction of the three people, and then his figure vanished, the next moment he appeared back near the scout vessel. He opened the spiritual tattoo on his chest and took out a set of clothes to cover himself up.

He looked at OB-One and said, “Get me a new communicator, and copy all my data in it, also, call the three back.”

The three people were called back and OB-One began to configure the new communicator for the young man. Shi Lang had become stronger, and was the strongest Terron at this moment, like he was in the past, however, now he was in a league of his own.

After the three people arrived, they checked on Shi Lang and then reported the status of the detention center. Shi Lang heard them patiently and said, “You did a good job. Now, you can rest, the spiritual energy in this region will be higher than the rest for a couple of days, so you better seize the opportunity.”

Sophie sighed and asked, “Boss, can you tell us what that lightning was about? We were worried that you have angered the heavens.”

Shi Lang was surprised and then he chuckled, and said, “You do not think too much. It was a tribulation. A test from the heavens to see if your primordial soul is strong enough. It was the first tribulation on the path of cultivation, and that was why there were only three bolts. The severity of the bolts depends on the color of the bolt. It changes based on a few factors.”

The people nodded and then asked what Shi Lang intended to do. The young general smiled and said, “You will see it in a bit.”

They did not understand his words, Shi Lang was acting too ambiguous in front of them. OB-One came over with Shi Lang’s new communicator, and also his human-size version Saber.”

The young general accepted the ‘gear’ put things on his person, and then he said, “You all are to monitor and relay the status of the detention center. Keep in touch with me.”

They all nodded and then saw Shi Lang raise to his knees. He held his shoulder over his shoulder and Ryan asked, “Boss, what is your plan?”

Shi Lang shook his head and said, “When you have strength, you do not need to fear any schemes. The true strength of a person can render everything useless in face of strength.”

The people nodded and saw that Shi Lang was moving upward, yes, he was not moving forward but upward. They realized that Shi Lang was now capable of flying. He held the sword in his hand and flew towards the detention center. His speed was fast enough to match a scouting vessel, and in half an hour, he arrived in the sky above the detention center.

He could sense everything that was going in on with the spiritual energy sense. He sighed to look at the males and females tied up in different rooms. He raised his hand and the next second he vanished from his place.

The next time he appeared, he was already inside the study of the so-called villain. Shi Lang looked at the figure in front of him and asked, “So, are you the dark hand?”

The person was startled, he did not expect Shi Lang to appear here, but before he could figure out who this person was, Shi Lang appeared just a meter away from the person. The enemy was shocked, he was about to retort when Shi Lang clasped his neck in his palm. And asked, “You were saying something?”

The atmosphere was filled with killing intent. However, it vanished within just a blink. Shi Lang subdued the person and began the torture.

…

Amelia sat up from the ground with her hands in shackles, she sighed and said, “Where are you, Lang?”

Suddenly, she heard screams, loud wails of pain and agony. She turned to look in the direction where the sound came from and mumbled, “Took you long enough.”
