Ace Of Terrans-Chapter 13

Four students and one invigilator stood facing each other, ready to duel. Shi Lang stood outside the ring with his hands crossed in front of his chest. Major Rackham nodded and said, “Begin.”

The next moment, Jane’s fist was magnifying in his peripheral vision. The speed was something he did not expect at all. Even the agility-type ability awakeners cannot have this sort of speed when they are in the three-star realm. The reason was that your body was not strong enough.

The human body was tempered and the cultivation enhanced, however, using physical ability at full power came with a price. The abilities will consume the energy from the body quicker than normal. The stamina will reduce. It needed special training to learn how to switch on and off between abilities. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

Major Rackham was fast enough to avoid the punch but someone at the same level would have a concussion to their head. He took a step to the side and Lucas came inside the play from the side. Major Rackham was thinking of a plausible way to regain his centre of gravity to counter but was occupied by the two people he did not know when Tim got behind him and was now grasping his legs.

What followed next was an overhead drop. Major Rackham was lured to the trap by Lucas’s advance. However, he was not to be so easily subdued, he used his hands and avoided being overthrown by the grappling technique. Erica said, “Jane, the ground.”

She was the calculative genius, and her job was not like the other bystanders. She was leading the trio with her mind and not laying in taking an opportunity to make the fatal blow. Jane nodded and her fist landed on the ground.

Although the material used in the ring creation was like a rubbery substance that could absorb all the shocks without letting it channel through the floor, Jane still managed to cause it to tremor a little. These slight shocks disturbed the ground where Rackham was trying to gain his balance. Tim had let go of his legs.

Lucas moved in, using his legs to kick at the veteran’s hands. Rackham avoided the kick by jumping into the air. He had quickly landed but suddenly froze. Erica appeared in front of him with her leg aimed at his balls. Despite everything, this spot was still sensitive for men. Just one more inch and Erica could have dealt some serious damage to him.

Jane and the rest of the ladies blushed a bit but Erica had no expression on her face. What she did was a calculative move and was not something to be embarrassed about. Major Rackham was the same as Erica. He nodded and said, “You pass.”

Erica retracted her leg and backed away with her gaze locked with the man in front of her. She did not let her guard down till the magnetic barrier was taken down. The four people came out and Shi Lang stepped inside the ring. He asked, “Sir, would you really not use some time to revitalize?”

Major Rackham raised his eyebrow and said, “To deal with you one on one, I can still hold my end, kid.”

Shi Lang smiled and said, “I am sure that you can, Sir. However, your leg was injured in the battles over time. That injury flares up from heavy exercises. The reason I ask you to take a rest is not that I look down on you, but being able to fight you at your peak. That will be the true test for me.”

His attitude was polite, the people did not expect him to ask this old guy to revitalize. Major Rackham also did not hit his smiling face and sat down in the ring itself to revitalize his energy. The class had sent the weak students to fight with him first, and the best came later. This was quite the opposite of what should have been done. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

The strategy was implied like this because they were afraid, if they sent in the strong ones first, then the veteran might have raised his guard against all the rest to follow. That was not in line with them all passing the test. Thus they took a gamble.

Shi Lang also sat in front of Rackham, but he did not fold his legs like Rackham, but he crossed them and sat with his palms placed on his knees. The people did not know what his stance was, but it was not something they were taught at the school. Rosa said, “He is meditating. This is a meditation stance. It helps him focus his thoughts.”

Lucas said, “I do not know how this works. He taught me about this but I find my thoughts to be so agitated like this.”

Jane commented, “You are just dumb, it is to let go of the thoughts and the chaos becomes peace.”

Lucas scoffed and said, “As if you know.”

The two glared at each other but Rosa hummed and they fell silent. After ten minutes, Rackham stood up and said, “Let us begin.”

Shi Lang opened his eyes and stood up as well. His calm was something Rackham and many of the present people expected it to be. He took a proper stance. He also took a stance, and when he gazed at Shi Lang’s eyes he became dizzy for a moment. Those black eyes were so deep and serene as if they were the sea of stars.

Shi Lang blinked and the veteran woke up. He said, “Let us begin.”

Shi Lang did not bother to advance; he was aware that Rackham would take the initiative to send himself at the door. Because his words earlier were no less than a challenge. The reckless Titan Of Salvador was not good at digesting challenges, whether direct or indirect.

Just as predicted, the veteran rushed in with a punch aimed at his face. Shi Lang weaved his head around the punch to dodge. Then he bravely took half a step forward and countered Rackham with a punch to his chest.
