Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang was hit by the second streak of lightning. The impact shook his body but he was yet to fall to the ground. He absorbed the lightning in his body at an overwhelming speed. The people on the sides were all shocked. Their brain could not comprehend what was going on.

This was humanely impossible, but as the time passed, the rumbling sound of the thunder clouds became even more intense, and the lightning streak became darker shades of crimson. Shi Lang did not do anything but he was simply standing in the void absorbing the lightning to refine his physique and his spiritual energy at the same time.

The people did not expect such things from him. Shi Lang did not care about anyone, he was focused on the lightning in front of him. This was a source of energy that his body was longing for. If he could store the energy from heavenly lightning then he would be able to advance smoothly in the future.

The third bold of lightning fell toward Shi Lang with a speed faster than the other two and the impact set off visible shockwaves in the void. It was like the space and time were rippling. Suddenly Shi Lang yelled, “What the fuck are you getting angry for? I am using your strength to advance is it that intolerable for your puny mind?”

The skies rumbled, Shi Lang had scolded the heavens for being so ferocious with the third bolt. This made the heavens even more enraged. First this mortal was borrowing the energy of the lightning tribulation and then he had the audacity to call the heavens puny. The color of the lightning bolt changed hue a little from crimson red to lavender.

The streak hit Shi Lang and the man fell directly to the ground, embedded inside it. The impact left deep cracks on the floor of the planet. To think that they were already under the surface. A collective gasp was heard in the surroundings.

The Ace division panicked, but just when they were about to rush forward, they all found a figure shrouded in lavender lightning standing up from the ground. Shi Lang had no change in his physique expect for the fact that the upper armor was missing. The impact of the streak was strong enough to vaporize the armor Shi Lang wore.

This gave goosebumps to the people, but Shi Lang was able to stand up even after such a hit, this was even more frightening. The display put up by the young commander made their blood boil. They were all raging inside to be this strong, the binds of fear were coming loose in their hearts.

Barton was looking at the scene with a daze in his eyes, he could not comprehend the happenings in front of him. This level of strength was not something humans could achieve. Just when the people were stunned, the fourth lightning bolt fell from the sky aiming at Shi Lang. This bolt was thicker than the thighs of an adult.

The color of this streak was a darker shade of Lavender. Shi Lang sighed and said, “Seriously, what have I ever done to you.”

The intensity of the tribulation had increased since the last time. The crimson bolts were just the start. The higher the level of the tribulation the more the color will lean towards white. White lightning was not yet witnessed by Shi Lang, but in the records, it was said that no one who ever faced it was able to survive the bolt.

The lavender lightning was the beginning stage of violet, a complete other level of tribulation than the one he was facing in the past. However, Shi Lang was confident that he can still manage to hold on against the lavender shade.

The fourth bolt fell from the sky and Shi Lang was made to retreat a few meters while his body looked like it was out of control. The streaks of lightning on his body were making his muscles twitch but he did not give up but was simply facing the brutality of nature and heavens. Breaking the shackles on their fate was not an easy task.

The heavens had decided to test him, and it will test everything, the physique, the resolve, the thoughts, the foundation and the will to go further on this path. The heavens did not mind testing the people to the point where the cultivator seem to be a maniac.

Shi Lang was yet to be pushed over that edge, but he was literally raging. He wanted to rush up to the sky and tear it apart. This agitation was a natural instinct for a cultivator, they hated to be questions and they disliked being tested.

This was something that the people around him did not understand. To vent his thoughts, Shi Lang took out his sword from the spiritual tattoo on his chest. The people watching all this were shocked, they have never seen anything like this. Pulling out a sword from his bare chest. This weapon was not made of the nano technology as there was no swarming of the bots.

Also, nanobots were not strong enough to deal with the heavenly lightning if they had lost in the first round when Shi Lang had his suit vaporized. This sword did not seem to have made any difference for them, however, they wanted to see what Shi Lang would do with it.

The young general looked at the fourth streak that fell on his body and began to swarm inside it, destroying the body slowly. Shi Lang was not a fool, he was aware of the changes happening in his body.

Shi Lang did not say anything and let the lightning swarm his body, but before long, the healing properties of the bolt became obvious to him. The next thing he did was to push out the lightning energy by using his spiritual energy. The lightning was guided to travel through his blade.

This was not some refining process, but it was an attempt to allow the sword to gain sentience. The heavenly lightning was a being with a consciousness of its own, pouring it through a sword that was nurtured with spirit energy could trigger the spirit consciousness inside the blade. Even though the chances were low, they still existed.

The sword issued a tingling sound and Shi Lang raised his brows. He said, “I will feed you as much as I can without enraging it. You know I am not strong enough yet.”

The voice was low, and this was a sort of a surrender that he projected in front of the tribulation. Shi Lang did not want to face a higher level of tribulation with his current level. The fifth bolt of lightning fell and the shade of the bolt was darker than the one before.

The impact was stronger, Shi Lang was made to retreat ten meters and when he stopped his body was spasming badly, but he was still holding onto his sword. The body was being refined to the limits, and the process of refining was not as simple as it sounded. It was akin to a constant process of destruction and construction.

Shi Lang was willingly facing it all and this was something that he did not know how to bypass. He was a simpleton when it came to such things. If he was to take any herb or medicine to relieve the pain, the intensity of the tribulation will definitely kill him.

The reconstruction of his physique was not just his skin, but also his organs, and they were shaking from the last streak of lightning and the agony Shi Lang was suffering was too much. The young general was leaning on his sword to maintain balance. Jill and the rest of the people were shivering, they have never seen their general so weak and fragile.

Suddenly, the sixth lightning bolt, as thick as the waist of an adult human. The lightning streak fell through the void and hit Shi Lang, the young general convulsed from the hit and vomited a mouthful of blood. He lay on the ground with his body riddle with wounds. However, the sword in his hand was still held tightly.

The lightning from his body was flowing through the sword, and it was emitting shallow streaks of lightning from the surface of the blade. Shi Lang had ragged breathing, but his eyes were sparkling with stars. The clouds in the sky had began to face away, and a ray of light fell down from them. The gentle light seemed to be a living being as it focus on Shi Lang, who laid on the ground.

The body that was shredded under the lightning was slowly repaired and Shi Lang regained his vitality. The speed of his recovery was shocking to the people and X said, “That is the reward of passing the tribulation. Can you sense his power?”

The people immediately tried to probe Shi Lang, but they sensed nothing from him, it was like a puny non cultivator standing in front of them. However, a few minutes later Shi Lang stood up from the ground and then he stretched his body letting out crackling noises. He raised his sword high and slashed it at the sky.

A streak of sword energy condensed at the edge and it ripped through the void. The streak of sword energy was so sharp that those who looked at it felt their eyes sting. Then they felt a pressure on their shoulders. The source of this pressure was Shi Lang, who let out a roar that shook the hearts of the people. The Asura was unleashed again.
