Chapter 355 Beatdown.

Shi Lang let out a roar and the pressure from his body was poured out. It was like a mountain towering over the people around him. They were not even given the chance to prepare or resist before they were all kneeling on the ground. The horror was not the immobilization, but the chill running down their spines.

X said, "Do not resist, do not try to emit the intent of fighting. Shi Lang is in Asura state now, you won't even know how you dead if you triggered his rage."

His warning was sincere and it was real. Shi Lang was getting used to all the new power inside his body and at this moment, his teenager primordial soul was agitated by the flow of energy inside his body. He was roaring and emitting pressure to calm himself down, but in this situation if someone tried to even emit a shred of hostility toward him, that will lead to certain death and that was all.

Shi Lang raised his sword and waved it like it was a toothpick. The sword energy condensed on the sword blade and slashed outward tearing apart everything in the way, but Shi Lang was mindful not to hurt any living being in the vicinity.

The madness lasted for a few minutes. Shi Lang calmed down after five minutes, and his pressure was reined back in. The young man let out a sigh as he stood up straight. His hair had grown till his waist, and they looked as if a curtain of night with a glimpse of blood in the air. The subtle crimson shine in his hair made him look like an immortal.

The young man sighed and said, "Amy said no changes to the hair."

He could sense the Asura tattoo at the center of his chest to be glowing with energy and giving off a shallow heat. The young man sat down in the void and crossed his legs as he began meditating. While he may seem calm, it was not easy to approach him, the shura sword was levitating in the void around him, slowly circling around him and the people could see the tint of lightning flashing on the surface of the blade every now and then.

They could all guess that this sword was not a simple weapon anymore. It was like, when they stared at the blade, the blade also stared back at them. This feeling of being looked at by an inanimate object creeped and scared them out.

Shi Lang was consolidating his foundation, he did not want to waste any time. X stood up and said, "Let us leave, Jill leave a few of your division to guard him and kill anything that approaches. Even Terrans without permission must be killed. Shi Lang is at a crucial point right now."

Jill nodded and said, "We will take shifts to guard the Commander. You can leave."

That said, X nodded and took Barton away with him. The latter has been in a state of shock, he did not know what to say or how to express the scene he witnessed just now. This was a surreal experience that he went through. X look at him and asked, "Are you shocked to see how a human can go against the raw power of nature?"

Barton subconsciously nodded and X said, "The Terran cultivation that you all follow now a days is just one realm of realm cultivation. It can be seen as a mean of tempering body, think about it, if a realm of body refining can allow you to reach such strength where you can stand at the peak of the civilization, what can you achieve when you integrate the energy of heaven and earth? The spiritual cultivation is a path that transcends civilizations and even the concept of mortality.

Shi Lang has just touched the threshold of peak mortal, he is still far away from the real immortality, yet he can destroy the federation on his own, without much of an effort. However, he stands at the front, taking all the pain to lead the civilization to a new peak. This is what a leader should be like, yet some people are harboring designs against him. They do not know what is coming for them."

Barton woke up from the shock and shivered at the last sentence. He knew where X was pointing his finger. This was going to be a bad card dealt to General Charlotte Knight and she will not even have the chance to think of a counter for this. Barton wanted to help her and inform her but the strength he witnessed today made him doubt the side he picked up.

Shi Lang was not a Terran, he was a god among Terrans. That sword slash could render an entire warship useless, how dared he provoke an entity like that? While in doubt, Barton arrived at his room and he sat down on the bed, gazing at the wall in a daze.

...

Shi Lang sat in the void for seven days, his hair were long but they had turned to the usual black color with a faint shine to them. The asura tattoo on his chest did not burn anymore. He opened his eyes and stood up. His body issued crackling sounds, as the man said, "Come."

The sword, that has been levitating in the void, seemed to respond to his voice and flew in his hand. Shi Lang gripped the hilt tightly and said, "Time to kill our way to the pinnacle will come soon."

The sword vibrated as if expressing the agitation from the thoughts of killing. Shi Lang caressed the reed of the blade and then turned around, he said, "I am going back to the base, the General council is about to start, you all follow me. We have been laying back a bit to much."

Then he vanished from his spot. The three guards in the distance all heard his voice in their heads, and they could tell that the boss was not in a good mood, or any mood at all. His voice was calm and indifferent, the most scary state of them all was Shi Lang entering indifference.

They relayed the message to their people as they rushed toward the base, Tartarus. Shi Lang had no extra thought in his mind. He appeared in his room, dressed up in his ceremonial uniform, and tied his sword to the back of his waist, horizontally.

The blade was almost as long as Shi Lang, so it could not be tied to his waist like a regular sword. However, the young general did not care about that. He walked out of his room and the Division had already prepared the Space ship for his departure.

Shi Lang nodded at them and said to X, "Train these people at higher difficulty, let them know what it takes to be the Ace division members, let them brave the dangers and conquer the fear of death. The time limit for everyone to pass the final level is three months, after that, purge their memory of this camp and send them back to their initial units."

Everyone heard this notice, and they were all surprised. But at the same time they were all pumped up too. After all, running the higher difficulty meant that the training will be sincere and they have the chance to become a kin member with the Ace division.

…

Milo was left behind to facilitate the training of the rookies, and Jill had taken up the pilot position with Sonic. The two were in sync as they had been training to adapt to any scenario. Shi Lang sat in the command chair and said, "Set course to the General Council on the war planet."

Sonic programmed the on-board computer and said, "Acknowledged, Commander."

They were all sweating beneath their suits, Shi Lang was emitting a strong battle intent and also the the cold indifference coming off of him was scary for the people. The ship moved through the void and arrived at the War planet base in a short time of an hour. Shi Lang had the fastest warship in the fleets.

The perks of the first general. The ship docked to the port and Shi Lang descended from the hatch door with his division and the entire protection detail on the war planet space port took half a step back by instinct. They could tell that the people in front of them were not to be provoked.

Shi Lang walked with his head high, and he walked straight to the meeting chamber. The guards on the way were not told about his attendance in the meeting, following the protocol they should have stopped him, but the aura made them all immobilized. They could not take a step forward. Some of the smart ones tried to aim their phaser guns but just before they could warn the people, they sensed a tingling sensation on their hands, they were all given shallow cuts.

They did not know how it happened but it was enough to chill their hearts. Shi Lang made his move and he was serious this time.
