Ace Of Terrans-Chapter 15

Jenkins Edwards came to the gravity chamber seething in rage. The aura from his body was so rampant that the others did not approach him. Soon, they all began to talk about what might the reason be behind his anger.

A few people did not bother to participate in the discussion. These people were all toppers of the battle class, but they were all suppressed by Jenkins. The means of suppression were not fair always. Jenkins Edwards was in line to take up the mantle of his father and lead his family in the future. He could only do that when he was confident enough and could suppress others competing with him. So, ever since he was a child he would suppress the people around him using all means necessary.

This was the reason, only sneaky dogs roamed around him. It may look like he was too much of a scum but that is how the people in power held the power. The people who did not participate in the assessment were aware of the reason why this control freak was so irked. They all sneered in their hearts.

The bullishness of the battle class was not actually something led by everyone, it was Jenkins only who had grown up like this. He used to think that anyone without strength was not worthy to be in his face. He tolerated the existence of the technological branch in the same school building but he disdained when they came to their class for things. Thus, they were all bullied by him at even the slightest miss up.

He was the one who set the rules of how the weak should act in front of the strong. Today he found a person rising from the ground to the top. How can he tolerate that? To him finishing second was even worse than finishing last. To calm himself down, he entered the training room reserved for the topper of the class and began to vent. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

…

Shi Lang on the other hand was sitting in his room. He was already aware of the true face Jenkins covered with the mask of the strong. He was aware that Jenkins was hypocritic and a sore loser. However, he was confident in his strength now. He may be a level below Jenkins, but his skills were way too much for the other party to deal with.

He cultivated all night long without a single minute spared on rest. He did not feel any exhaustion but was energized. His body’s talent was improved after the pill and every time he cultivated his progress was significant. At least at this level where he had newly unlocked the levels, his foundation was thirsty and needed to be quenched with practice. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

The sun came up on the sky, Lucas woke up from his practice and found Shi Lang sitting in the same position as he was earlier. Even the hair was in the same place as if the wind had avoided his body. He shook his head and was about to raise his hand to wake up Shi Lang.

The monk on the floor suddenly moved and his hand clasped the wrist approaching him in a blink. The reaction was so fast that Lucas had no idea what even happened. Shi Lang reacted based on his instincts and intercepted the incoming hand like a viper biting at its prey. Lucas was shocked at his reaction.

He did not expect Shi Lang to be so alert. However, what made him freeze in his spot was not the grip around his wrist, but the pair of cold eyes, it was as if Shi Lang had turned into a killing beast. Lucas shivered and the hair on his body stood up on their ends. However, after taking a deep breath, Shi Lang calmed down and asked, “What is the matter?”

Lucas said, “The sun is up. Time for the Mech Test.”

Shi Lang gazed outside the window and nodded. He stood up from the ground and decided to go out to take a shower. The scene was tense and the campus was silent. Shi Lang was very well aware that it was all because of him acing the result in physical assessment. That was not all, the whole technological branch passed. This had caused an uproar in the school.

The teaching faculty of the vocational and side courses were all surprised to see the result. The technological branch would pass each time but they would always manage to scratch the margin. And Shi Lang the tail feather of the whole school seemed to have become the crown. Jenkins’s behavior and mindset were a public secret.

While some were looking forward to the chaos, some were hoping the situation to not elevate. Shi Lang came to the common bathroom and found a few battle-class people standing there. They were waiting for him. If it was earlier, Shi Lang would have stopped and asked them what was happing but times and changed. He has changed.

The boy walked over and bypassed the group of four boys. One of them was irritated by the ignorance and without saying anything, he punched at the back of Shi Lang’s head. The back of the head was a weak spot and can leave permanent damage. It was a fatal blow.

Shi Lang could sense things around him now, he tilted his head to the side, raised his hand to catch the fist passing over his shoulder. Nobody expected his reaction to be so quick, and the next moment something even more unbelievable happened. Shi Lang raised his strength and tipped over the assailant over his shoulder.

As soon as the assailant was put down, Shi Lang kicked his underarm and a click was heard, followed by a loud wail. The boy frowned and pressed the head of the guy under his feet to silent him. The three boys behind him froze. At this moment, Jenkins happened to walk over the other side of the corridor.

He saw the scene and grit his teeth. He locked his gaze with Shi Lang and was about to say something, when the latter said, “Jenkins Edwards, you better put your dogs on a tight leash. Bad pets mean bad masters. You might be despised for raising these trashy rabid things. Also, do not think, it is my sudden power that has made me arrogant. You will be defeated real hard if you underestimated me.”

With a jerk, he let go of the hand of his attacker and walked inside the shared bathroom. The people were frozen in their spots, not because of his audacity but the real cold they sensed from him. Jenkins had never known fear but this time he was tense when the boy looked at him with a gaze as if he was an insignificant dead body.
