Ace Of Terrans-Chapter 358 Power.
Shi Lang seems to have decided that every time he speaks, he will leave the world in awe and shock. He simply gave the best of the federation a three-move head start. The people were wondering if he was trying to pull off some stunt or if he was really confident in his abilities.
The netizens who were watching the live broadcast began commenting.
"General Lang is trying to slap them all in the face, right?"
"I wonder if he will get slapped in the face by the opponent in return."
"Yo! Brother upstairs, can you stop being so pessimistic? Did you all not notice that when the war maiden tried to intimidate him, his face did not change one bit?"
"I get your point, but it could be that the mental composure of General Lang is better and he acted to be unfazed, right? "After all, he holds the highest position on the council."
"Shut up all of you, just watch the battle ahead, what's the big deal?"
The comments faded slowly after this, and everyone began to focus on the battle. Some news outlets had gone a step further and invited battle experts to comment on the upcoming battle. This was going to get them the high rating they wanted.
Shi Lang was unaware of this huge ruckus; his communicator was turned to silent when the Cabinet tried to contact him. The only thing he could say was that the cabinet had no right to get involved in what the General Council was doing.
The cabinet could only take a step back silently. They were helpless in front of the headstrong attitude of the first general. The recent assassinations of corruption officials all over the federation have made them even more scared and cautious when approaching this guy.
Shi Lang specifically desired this effect on the people so that they would not bother him or try to control his pace. He stood in the arena with his sword tied to his waist. Watching the enraged expressions of the opponents indifferently.
Charlotte also had a perplexed expression on her face, she did not expect this young man to go this far in his antics. She had a rough idea of his strength and said to the rest of the generals, "Be careful and do not hold back when you attack him."
The people looked at her face in surprise, they did not expect this lady to say such a thing, Was she not thinking about their pride? How were they going to face the world if they all attacked this young man at the peak of their strength? Will he be able to take it, and what if the world calls them bullies?
Charlotte did not bother to explain her doubts to them, if they could not figure out things like this, then it was really a question of whether they were worthy of being the generals of the Federal Fleets.
Shi Lang asked, "Shall we begin?"
Charlotte nodded, and the generals wearing black battle armor rushed forward. Shi Lang smirked and took his place, but he was met with a kick to the temple right away. The opponent was called Ajax, known for his speed and the special ability to go supersonic while running, he could be called the fastest Terran in the federation.
However, his speed was not enough to catch Shi Lang, and the young man ducked the first kick and took a side step to avoid a blade slash coming from the top. The second attacker was called Sama. Because of his special ability, his blade slash or any cold weapon attack could be transformed into a laser attack.
Shi Lang did not bother with defending and only dodged the attacks coming at him. His speed was greater than any of the attacks thrown at him. Suddenly, a phantom flashed in the arena and attacked Shi Lang on his alleged blind spot. Shi Lang, however, had his senses locked on the entire arena, it was like he had grown a pair of eyes on the back of his head.
The attack was a spear stab aimed at his ribcage, The intent to kill was evident in the attack, and Shi Lang sensed it. Just when everyone thought he would be able to avoid the attack, the spear flashed past his torso. The people gasped, but Charlotte, who held the spear, frowned.
She did not feel the impact, and there was no blood on the tip of the spearhead. The arena was silent until a sound of clapping echoed in the field. Everyone turned their eyes in the direction of the sound and found Shi Lang standing there.
They were taken aback when they noticed the stabbed Shi Lang had vanished from his position. The crowd was astounded; they did not expect the general to be so fast that his afterimage would last for a few seconds.
Shi Lang trampled on Ajax's confidence. He was proud that his speed had improved so much since he began cultivating, but Shi Lang crushed it. The thing that made him uneasy was how this young man made it look easy.
Shi Lang said, "General Knight has two moves left, while the rest have finished their three moves, I will counter you now."
He has been counting every move made by his opponents in the fast-paced battle. As soon as his words dropped, the young man appeared next to Ajax and attacked him with a kick. The attack was so fast that Ajax did not even have time to raise his arms to defend. The kick connected directly with his chest, and the man was sent flying to hit the electromagnetic barrier.
One blow, and one opponent was knocked out cold. Shi Lang turned his gaze to look at the stunned people and said, "You must always be focused when in battle. The slightest deviation in your concentration can cause death."
He slashed his palm, as if with a sword, and a blade slash made of spiritual energy was directed at Sama. Shi Lang was replying to these people in kind. His attacks were slightly different, but they were all based on the same principle. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m
He did not hesitate while attacking, in his mind, he had a clear picture of what he wanted to do. It did not even take him a few minutes to put down the eleven generals. The entire war planet and civilization had gone insane. Even General Edwards might not have been able to do this.
During the reign of the old General Council, the difference in power between the officials might not have been as big as it was in the new General Council. In the eyes of the public, Shi Lang was the only person worthy to lead the federal army. He was the strongest, and his virtues were also correct.
When Shi Lang was done fighting with the rest of the generals and only Charlotte Knight was standing in the arena, he said, "You forgot your role as a soldier."
Charlotte Knight said, "Am I a soldier? Are you mocking the rank I have earned after spilling blood, both mine and the enemy's?"
Shi Lang shook his head and said, "A general is just a glorified soldier. Have you forgotten this basic fact? Even if you sit on the top of the mountain, you are not there to rule but to protect and serve. The first general and the president of the federation are the biggest servants of civilization. Do you not agree with this anymore?"
The soldiers all nodded, they all knew that their lives were at stake to protect the peace and freedom of their loved ones and the rest of the civilians. Shi Lang went on to say, "A soldier takes pride in dying to save the ones he has been asked to protect. While you do not even consider yourself a soldier, who will you protect and serve like this?"
Charlotte Knight was shocked, she did not know how to answer this. She did not know why she wanted to cede his throne. However, why did she do it? She always thought that Shi Lang was too lax for his position and that he did not care about the federation. He set a robot over them to deal with the operation of the fleet, and this was not something a Terran General should be doing.
In her mind, the image of the general overtook the image of the soldier, and that was why she did all the planning and plotting to restore the status of the general in the military. Shi Lang looked at her and said, "You still have two moves left. Or shall I just get over it?"
Charlotte raised her head, and then her body flickered, she was not going to give up so easily. She was the war maiden of the federation, she was not going to give into any pressure and keep fighting.
As she charged, she pressed a button on the shaft of her spear, and a blade popped up from the spearhead, changing the weapon into a halberd. She moved quickly and slashed it at Shi Lang's waist. The young man dodged and sensed a strong attack coming at him with twice the vigor.
Charlotte Knight had the ability to double her output. However, the attack was missed, and the halberd was lodged into the floor. Shi Lang held his sword and said, "Allow me to show you my true strength." freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Then he emitted the pressure, which made Charlotte and the rest of the people in the surrounding area fall to their knees. Shi Lang unleashed the power of the mid-level primordial soul cultivator.
