Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang walked up behind the table and lifted Jenkins in his arms. The young principal was flabbergasted and asked, “Lang, what the hell are you doing, you swine.”

How can he tolerate being carried like a princess? He was a grown man. Shi Lang replied, “Shut up, be a good boy.”

Jenkins tried to struggle, but with his lower cultivation and abolished body, how could he get away from Shi Lang? He glanced at Amelia, who shook her head with a silly smile.

Jenkins said, “Lang, I have an image in the school. Don’t ruin it.”

Shi Lang clicked his tongue and said, “I am ruining your image so you can create a better one. Okay, now let me do my thing and shut up?”

Jenkins sighed and gave up on fate. Amelia chuckled and said, “Remember how you used to bully him, Jenkins? I think he is enacting revenge on you.”

The young principal replied, “I regret those moments more than anything. Ask him to stop, Amelia.”

Shi Lang did not hear his nags and kept walking to the infirmary. He did not stop, but the commotion still caught the attention of a few people. The people were surprised and amused by this. Shi Lang looked at a relatively old staff member and said, “Teacher Quinn, can you please tell all the medical staff members to come to the infirmary, do mention that the principal needs treatment.”

Quinn was an old staff member, and he was aware of Shi Lang’s identity. It has yet to be a decade since this young man changed the perception of the technical group. Watching him carry the principal in his arms, the old man nodded and said, “Right away, General Shi Lang.”

Shi Lang smiled faintly and said, ‘”I have retired, old sir.”

The man did not reply and informed the other people.

…

Shi Lang placed Jenkins on a bed and said, “Turn over.”

Jenkins did not move. Shi Lang rolled his eyes and said, “If you do not do it on your own, I will do it for you, and you will not like it.”

The young principal was speechless and decided to turn over and wait for what would come. Shi Lang asked, “How did this guy manage to harm you to this degree? Did they also use cultivation?”

Jenkins did not know what Shi Lang was doing to him and said, “I tried to get an idea of their strength with spirit sense. However, it was too late by then. We were attacked from a blind range. The mecha squad was unable to stand the impact of the phaser beams. Lang, the machines failed us even if we can fight against such things with our bodies now. If not for being a pilot in the mecha. I am sure that I could have avoided that attack.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Why did you not contact me?”

Jenkins replied, “You had just turned in your resignation two days before this happened. Commander Silence issued an investigation notice, and the soldiers have been trying to look into the matter. Still, when the top brass of the galactic council came forward and took responsibility, the investigation ended.”

Shi Lang sighed and said, “I have no idea why people forget their limitations?”

Jenkins did not ask anything. He sensed Shi Lang was doing something to his body. A few moments later, the medical staff arrived and were surprised to see Shi Lang operating the medical equipment. The young man beckoned them, saying, “We will now perform surgery on Principal Jenkins. He has voluntarily agreed to it. Jenks, we need your verbal consent to stand up and be like you were in your youth.”

Jenkins flared up and said, “I am still in my youth, you rascal. You wait. I will get up and bust your ass.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Principal Jenkins just said that he wishes to stand and spar with me; that is his verbal consent.”

Jenkins was shocked, but Shi Lang pinched a point on his spine before he could do anything, and the whole person froze. A doctor asked, “Sir, how can you operate on him? We have some knowledge of his case. The body has been tempered to such a high level that none of the modern incision methods work on his body. The phaser scalpel can pierce the skin, but the regeneration is too fast for the doctors to operate.”

Shi Lang sighed and said, “You are treating a high-level cultivator like a normal guy who survived a car crash. What else do you all expect?”

The doctors went silent. It was indeed just like Shi Lang said. The entire medical fraternity treated Jenkins as an average Terran who suffered from previous injuries. They all did not take into account the fact that Jenkins was now a cultivator. The doctor wanted to ask something when Shi Lang said, “The bones of a primordial soul realm cultivator are akin to jade. Although clear and strong, they can take up to a decade to regenerate to what they used to be once they break.”

The young man manipulated his communicator and said, “Look at the spine scan.”

The doctors looked to the side and found a holographic projection floating above Jenkins back. Shi Lang said, “I will set up a simple spirit detection array aligned with the scans. This will allow you to watch how the spirit energy pulls the fragments together and fixes the situation. Then, I will begin the operation. Watch closely. I will be doing it once only. After that, you can record this procedure and sell it to other doctors to study and practice in different aspects of surgery.”

Shi Lang placed his hand on the lower back and said, “The scan will detect everything in real time so you can see what is happening. Now watch.”

The young man channeled his spirit energy inside Jenkin’s body. The principal grunted, and his body shivered. Shi Lang said, “Yo, Jenks. You better not move, or the pain will increase.”

The young man kept manipulating his spiritual energy and connected them to the fragments. Then he gradually pulled the pieces together. The process was slow and needed a lot of focus. A doctor was hesitating when he looked at Jenkins, sweating like a pig and shivering uncontrollably.

Amelia spoke up from the side and said, “The pain is necessary.”

Her voice attracted the attention of the doctors, and she continued, “A cultivator needs to be strong. The body will not grow stronger if they do not have the pain stimulation. So to hold the bone together, it is needed for the cultivator to sense the pain, and then the body will be tempered to another level.”

The doctor nodded but asked, “Ma’am, is there no way to ease the situation?”

Amelia nodded and said, “Shi Lang is a new doctor, so he forgot to mention, Jenkins, you should run your cultivation sutra and be careful not to touch Shi Lang’s spiritual energy thread.”

Jenkins started using the cultivation sutra. He was mindful to avoid Shi Lang’s spiritual energy thread. The young man sighed as some of his pain was released. The doctors began asking questions to Amelia, and the lady kept answering. She was not wasting her time during seclusion. The couple would discuss many things, from integrating cultivation methods in medicine and other fields.

The doctors saw the scan showing how a fine golden line was latching onto the bone fragments, which were being placed together like a jigsaw puzzle. Amelia came to stand next to Shi Lang and then used a cotton swab to wipe his forehead. The process was not consuming physically but mentally.

Amelia waited for the lower column to be replaced and said, “Jenkins, use your spiritual energy to wrap around the recreated column.”

Jenkins did what he was told. He could easily sense the inside of his body because of his spiritual energy and did not have much trouble covering the bone.

Shi Lang took four hours before he managed to finish the surgery. The people all heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this. The young man said, “You have to stay in bed for the next two hours. Also, do not think you can return to fighting as soon as you get up. Your ass is grounded for the next month. If I found you working out or even running around, I will whip your butt.”

Jenkins glared at him but made no argument, more like he could not do anything. Shi Lang had not unlocked his acupressure point. He said, “I will go and meet the General Council. I want to see, which of the big four wants to die so soon.”𝑜𝑣𝑳xt.𝑪𝒪𝐦

Amelia was surprised and wanted to say something when Shi Lang said, “You do not have to worry, I will not act as a member of the federal army. I will be performing a surgical operation.”
