Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang and the rest of the people slowly opened their eyes, feeling sore all over their bodies. The pain from the self-detonation and other injuries they had suffered was kicking in now and it would take a few hours before they all restore their peak.

Shi Lang did not hurry to stand up from his chair. He kept staring at the white ceiling of the room and kept thinking about what happened inside the simulation realm. The boy did not notice what his classmates were doing at the moment. His senses were cut off from everything around him.

There was another person lost in a daze like he was. This person was Jenkins Edwards. The two classes were sitting inside the same simulation room just separated by a walkway. Jenkins could not believe that he had lost. When his consciousness returned to his body, his mind was flooding with the words that Shi lang had told him during their fight.

He did not know how to react to it and thus he was lost in a daze. The rest of the class was comparatively better than him. They all sat up and looked at each other and then their gaze fell at the technology class who were either hugging each other with a smile on their face, while some were so emotionally driven that they were crying hard as they held on to their friends.

Shi Lang suddenly stood up from his chair. The people wanted to hug him but he shook his head with a solemn expression. He walked over to the battle class side and stood in front of Jenkins’s chair. The students of the battle class all thought he came over to attack Jenkins with a taunt or something.

Shi Lang looked at Jenkins and said, “You still thinking about what happened inside?” He reached out his hand and dragged Jenkins from his collar. The gaze of the two people was locked. Jenkins did not react to his face.

“I thought you were very strong. I came to respect you when we exchanged blows. But to think that your heart was nothing but a piece of glass. To think I gave you the code of Tiger. What a waste of talent and spirit you are. If you cannot even stand up from this and come back stronger, you are not worthy of being acknowledged by anyone.”

With that said, Shi Lang pushed him back inside the seat. His last sentence had made Jenkins gain his clarity. The latter stood up and grabbed Shi Lang’s shoulder and he said, “You may have won today, but I will beat you in the army entrance exam. I will be better than you.”

He turned around and wanted to walk away when Shi lang chuckled and said, “You idiot, you are already better than me. The reason you lost was that your fists did not carry enough weight and spirit in them. The day you stopped thinking about winning or losing and began to focus on just being a better version of yourself. No one will be able to stop you.

The better version is not limited to only your strength but heart and spirit. The day you can walk toward that aim, that will be the day you will have a glimpse at true strength. You may think that you can do that by leaving behind everything, but were you not alone today as well? A punch is formed with your fingers held tightly together and not spread over. Get a grip and come to me whenever you wish to fight.”

Shi Lang’s words were like a spree of enlightenment for the people inside the simulation room. Jenkins had a light flash in his eyes as he walked away after Shi Lang finished speaking, no one knew what he was thinking. However, one thing was sure, the change in his aura.

Shi Lang also left the simulation room with his classmates. They were all in high spirits after their win. The boy did not say anything much and just smiled and laughed with his friends. When he reached the classroom, Rosa Blues was already waiting for them with a big smile on her face.

She gestured them all to take a seat as she said, “I am very proud to announce that you all have done very well. Especially, Shi Lang, the crane tail of our class became the crown of the phoenix. Thank you for your hard work and congratulations on getting the overall first rank in the assessment.”

The class erupted in cheers and applause. Rosa Blue chuckled and said, “Now, now, calm down. The battle is not completely won, the next goal is the upcoming army entrance exam. You all have to work hard for this. I do not want any single one of you missing the recruitment. Given your skills, you can get a decent job anywhere, but Federation Army service will be a huge advantage. You all try to rush yourself as much as you can without depleting your current performance. Okay?”

The students all nodded and replied sonorously, “Yes.”

After a brief encouragement and guidance speech, the students all got out of the classroom to go back home. The results of the assessment were all shown and sent to their parents on phone. Shi Lang was the last one to get out after he took his stuff from Lucas’s dormitory.

As he was traversing through the campus, he came across Amelia Knight. The girl said, “You kept your end of the bargain. I have kept mine. This case has a gene serum, and your parents are safe. However, the mech research and development will take a while.”

Shi Lang took the silver briefcase from her hand and said, “You have paid off. The mech project has lost its significance. Just get the creation acknowledgment certificate for my class name.”

Amelia nodded and said, “I will get that done.”

Shi Lang nodded and walked away from the scene in silence. Amelia stood there for a few minutes, and mumbled, “To think I applied a lip gloss before meeting him. This stone will die single.”

Then she also left the school campus. She did not know that Shi Lang was sighing after getting away from her. He mumbled, “Why is she so beautiful?”

With this, the event came to closure. Shi Lang was unaware that he has made strong waves among the military circle. Many top families in the military had their children going to the same school and they were now all aware of his skills and talents. The future of the boy had taken a hike without him realizing it. After all, he wished to be a guy with no regrets and not some big shot.
