Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang sat strapped to a chair and Dalia held a scissor in her hand. The youth in the chair asked, “What are you going to do with the scissors?”

Dalia replied, “Hmmm, you see, the drug that will help you starts losing its effects as soon as it enters the bloodstream. So, to optimize the effect, it is needed to be injected directly into your heart.”

Her voice was calm and patient. Shi Lang looked at her with his eyes wide open and then he sighed in resigning to his fate. He was aware that either he would tolerate this, or he would have to clean up toilets for the next month. He said, “I would like to have something to grit on.”

Dalia matched his gaze and nodded, she said, “Let me cut off your shirt, and then, while the AIA injects you, I will get you that thing to grit on.” with that said the scissors flew and split the black t-shirt on Shi Lang’s body.

Dalia said, “Initiate Intracardiac Injection Sequence.” and the robotic arm at the side of the table began to buzz and whir. The lady turned around and from one of the cabinets placed in the corner of the room, she took out a brown article.

She said, “This is hand weaved from the flaming leopard’s leather you caught. Be sure not to cut it.”

As she placed a woven leather stick-like thing between Shi Lang’s teeth. Right at that moment, the laser from the Automated Injecting Arm finished detecting the point of incursion, and a mechanical voice sounded, “Myocardiam detected, injecting the patient now.”

Machines had no emotion, they did not go shaky while performing such a delicate procedure. Shi Lang was conscious as his heart was stabbed with the solution that was supposedly going to help him breakthrough. As soon as the solution contained in the syringe entered his bloodstream, his body began to heat up.

Dalia said, “Cultivate, increase the blood flow cycle, the faster the better. Godspeed.” her voice contained a tint of seriousness.

The solution she used just now was an experimental drug and Shi Lang was the first person to experience it. He was used as a guinea pig but with consent. The youth understood what it meant to have such a drug. If this medicine could make him breakthrough, then the whole Terran civilization would have scored a big one.

The gene enhancement serums had their own side effects in the long term. This medicine, on the other hand, should not have any side effects, well as Dalia stated. As the medicine was spread through his entire body, his body began to absorb it and began to heat up.

Every breath brought him seething pain, setting his lungs on fire. If someone asked Shi Lang how fast was his heart beating, he would have replied, “As fast as a cheetah would run after its prey.”

The cultivation process of the Terrans was to absorb the energy contained in the blood so fast that it unlocks the next level in genetic evolution. To do this, they developed a gene evolution serum to allow their bodies to develop faster absorptions, as an extra benefit, they gained better conscious control over their bodies. They were able to control their organs at will.

Shi Lang was doing just that at the moment. He was controlling his organs to process the energy contained within the solution faster, other than this, he was also suppressing his autoimmune system. The human body has advanced and so did the autoimmune system. Any foreign object that enters the body gets faced with ten times the immunity.

Imagine equipping your white blood cells with an assault rifle. So, he needed to control his blood cells as much as he could before they isolated the solution mixed with his blood. The process put a lot of strain on the brain. The brain, although evolved, can still take on a limited amount of pressure, if you run a program that defies the primary code, the system will show error, and breaking through in the Terran cultivation system was exactly that.

Now, after the brain reaches its limit, one is needed to control the body to transfer the leftover energy from the external source, that is the solution in this case, to the brain and aid the machine to evolve the primary directive. This evolution was called breakthrough and the pain was not something that could be expressed by a numerical value on some chart or list.

Shi Lang suppressed his immune system and his body began to absorb the energy inside the solution. He could not see that on the outside, his physique has grown by one size, and his body was emitting steam and blush.

Dalia on the side was busy making notes on this situation and recording the video. She was not doing this for research work, but to make sure that if something goes wrong with the child then she will be able to retrace her steps back and cure him. She mumbled, the symptoms show that the subject has exceeded the level of a four-star Terran, the breakthrough was successful, however, the reaction is still ongoing.”

This was recorded in the video. She had no idea what was happening because the energy contained inside the solution should have been absorbed by now, yet it was still growing stronger. Her heart was not calm as always at the moment, if Shi Lang was to die on the table, then she will definitely hold herself in a pang of lifelong guilt.

On the table, Shi Lang was unaware of what was going on inside Dalia’s mind, he was busy trying to figure out why his body gained a better sense of control after the breakthrough was complete. When Terrans entered the five-star level, they would be able to see through inside their consciousness. It can be referred to as something similar to the soul sea.

It was like the brain would be able to produce a three-dimensional image of the human body for conscious analysis. Shi Lang was experiencing just that at the moment. However, he noticed something different in this scan. His muscles seemed to have become denser than before, and his brain was processing information faster.

The other thing that captured his attention was that the organs were working better as well. This was not something normal, the progress in his body was better than the data he had read about the other five-star Terrans. His neural responses were better as well. Shi Lang was wrapping his mind around this when he suddenly, sensed that his body became lighter.

This was in contradiction with what was happening to him. His muscle mass improved significantly so the body must feel heavy, why was it feeling light. This made him fall into thought and analyze what was happening to him when the extra energy contained in the solution started to get out of control.

After letting out a hypothetical sigh, the guy gathered his thoughts again and began to distribute this energy all over his body evenly, otherwise, if one of his organs or muscles caught an imbalanced amount of this energy, then either he might explode, or develop a deformity. Imagine this him with a thicker leg, surely not comfortable.

Dalia was recording everything that was happening inside his body, the chair was not there just to strap him down, but also to keep an eye on his vitals and brain activity. When she found the readings on his neural activity fluctuating, she sighed and mumbled, “Is it just me or did he really let go of the control during such a critical process?”

Shi Lang on the table spat out the leather piece and said, “Doctor, next time you inject such a drug into someone, please lower the dosage. This thing almost sent me to the afterlife.” his voice was low.

Dalia snapped back and quickly came to his side. She asked, “How are you feeling? Any symptoms of going crazy and committing a massacre and eating fellow Terrans?”

“I feel like something unlocked inside of me.” said the youngster.

While she was blabbering, her hands were completing some primary checks, like making sure that Shi Lang was still sane and sober. She used her finger to check his vision and then she pushed took off the straps that were tying down the guy. She said, “Before you are clear to get out of this place, I would like to conduct a few checks to make sure that you are healthy both physically and mentally.”

Shi Lang nodded and accepted her instructions without a word. After some thought, he said, “While you are preparing for the medical scans, can I go to the physical assessment room and start one for myself?”

Dalia nodded and said, “You will not be allowed to level the medical wing though. Do you understand?”

Shi Lang nodded and saluted her, then he walked outside the infirmary and came to the next room where all the physical assessment equipment were stored.
