Ace Of Terrans-Chapter 40

Shi Lang recovered from the pain and took an hour to do so. He asked, “Instructor, can we start again?”

Yuu glanced at him from behind her bangs and said, “Only if you are ready to take it.”

Shi Lang nodded and climbed up the simulation chair again. Yuu glanced at him and nodded slightly. The pain he suffered inside the simulation was not a light thing. The amputating sensation was transmitted to his neurons directly and then to the brain. The intensity was manipulated to twice that of the original pain.

Shi Lang was not aware of this. This was the training, the higher the pain the more a person tries to avoid it. The boy was not weak, but Yuu was too strong of an opponent for him to deal with. He had no idea how to stop her once she started using her strength. He had tried everything that he could even the skills and knowledge of his old life did not come in handy to him.

It was said that in martial arts, the strongest attack can be defended and the strongest defense can be broken but speed had no match. However, Shi Lang was aware that this was only a metaphor. To conquer speed, one needed to get faster. The boy had researched about the Terran body limits, the result was to raise the star level to increase the output cap.

Shi Lang could not catch up to the level of a seven-star Terran, however, he was using every second inside this place as a tempering session and moving forward to completing the criteria his body needed to meet to get past the barrier of a three-star Terran.

The two people began to train inside the simulation realm and this time Shi Lang focused on outlasting the explosive speed barrage of attack thrown at him by Yuu.

…

Charlotte was walking around the military region with Carlos and John following her half a step behind. The soldiers on duty all saluted her as she passed by. John said, “This kid is getting stronger every minute.”

Carlos glanced at his communicator and nodded. Their watches could monitor every moment of Shi Lang. They could see how the boy had recovered as quickly as possible and got on the training chair again. Just when they were about to raise this question. Dalia initiated a group called for the instructors. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

The call connected and Carlos asked, “What is it?”

Dalia said, “I found out how he recovered so soon?”

Charlotte asked, “How?”

“He circulated his blood focusing near the nerves that transmitted the pain signal to his brain. Another thing that he did was conquer the sensation of pain inside his mind. In his file, it is mentioned that Shi Lang is capable of meditating. It is something that the people in the ancient times used to do, to conquer their thoughts and overcome mental obstacles.”

Carlos nodded and said, “This method is still used by the army. What do you mean to say exactly? This generic method helped him regain his footing?”

He did not believe it. Meditation was treated as a method of treatment for those who could not handle the stress of the frontier. Dalia said, “Yes, he knows that true meditation can not only relieve the stress but also help one toughen p their will. That is what he did, to conquer the pain, he strengthened his will.”

The instructors nodded and they discussed it as they moved around on the base to make inspections on the discipline and security of the base.

…

Inside the simulation realm, Shi Lang stood holding a sword in his right hand. The left hand lay at the side. It has been amputated by Yuu within the first ten minutes of the battle. However, Shi lang stood tall and calm. He could sense a lot of pain in his left arm. This was his test. He closed his eyes and let go of his thoughts. Then he entered a state of peace and calm.

Then he took the initiative to attack Yuu. The boy rushed forward and his sword slashed down at the instructor. Yuu did not expect him to take the initiative of a sudden. However, she still escaped the strong attack, but Shi Lang did not stop and their two swords clashed loud and wild. It was as if they were fighting for life and death.

Shi Lang suddenly kicked out his leg at the stomach of the opponent, Yuu took a step back, and Shi Lang advanced, with his sword. Yuu parried his sword and kicked at his exposed knee. The attack was precise and it made the boy kneel down, the next moment he tried to duck his head and roll on the side when he was overwhelmed by a strong wave of pain.

Yuu said, “It is not necessary to behead the opponent every time, stabbing in the spinal cord and twisting the sword also works.”

That was what she had done just now. Last time, Shi Lang had been beheaded and this time he tried to avoid that. However, he still fell for her tricks. Shi Lang tried to recall the battle experience from his past life but the memories were very clogged up. If he tried to take even one second of his time to recall the martial skills in an ongoing battle, he was already dead.

He decided to rebuild himself, and this time he completely gave up on recalling the old skills and lasted ten seconds more than the last round. He was helpless in front of Yuu, who did not hold back and used her complete strength to beat him. Shi Lang woke up outside the simulation realm and grunts sounded from his mouth.

Yuu did not say anything but quietly waited at the side. The boy tolerated the pain as he sweated, his clothes were drenched with sweat but he did not have any intention of giving up. It took him lesser time than the last round and he adapted to the pain. Then the next round began again.

In the whole day, Shi Lang completed seven sessions of pain, and in the last round he was able to land a hit on Yuu, be it a fluke or not, his growth was already impressive. At the end of the day, Yuu said, “Tomorrow we will participate in the reality, I hope you are ready to do your best, I have not played enough so try not to die so early.”

Shi Lang gulped and nodded. However, he had no idea what was waiting for him.
