Chapter 360 Test For The Strike Force.

Shi Lang and the Ace Division did not waste much time in farewells and directly left the Federal space. They had one month to arrive at the blue star, the headquarters of the Galactic Council where all the major events and management of the galactic connections was concentrated.

They will be taking a test for joining the strike force. The strike force was similar to the combined military force of all the big players of the Galaxy. This force allowed every and all the council members to take the test, but only the strongest civilizations had the ability to meet the requirements.

Milo was left behind to teach the new batch of rookies in the Card Class beside X. The rest were sitting in the ship and suddenly, Jill said, "Without Milo, everything becomes so silent."

The rest of the people nodded and Sonic asked, "Boss, what is the test like?"

Shi Lang replied, "According to the information sent by Shashi we will need to go through a few different rounds, like solo combat and obstacle course, then a team raid, and followed by lastly a proper simulation mission."

Jill asked, "Boss, what do you mean by simulation mission?"

Shi Lang replied, "There are three rounds, the first two are to be performed in reality. However, the third and the final round needs us to undertake a mission and complete it. The missions include locations and targets all over the galaxy, they will not allow us to go on such big missions without a confirmation of our skills. So they will be generating a fake situation in the simulation realm."

The team nodded and the people relaxed, however, just before they could try to rejoice that they will be inside the simulation realm, Shi Lang said, "The sensation of damage that you go through in the simulation will be transferred to your body in reality through the use of electric current. You can forget about taking it easy. Also, it will be a collective mission, I will have anyone who makes a blunder go on a one-on-one session with me."

The people shivered from the chill in his voice, they have seen him take down the entire general council so they were aware of his level. At that time, he did not spare anyone in the surrounding and had them all kneeling on the ground. They did not want to get any session with him. It will be equal to inviting death over them.

Sonic said, "The first test is mentioned to be a strength analysis and a obstacle course run. Shashi has mentioned that this obstacle course will be testing us in weapons firing and use of cold weapons."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Yes, it will be comprehensive so do your best to train."

Suddenly a guy said, "Boss, what is the motive of getting selected in this test?"

Shi Lang sighed and said, "This test will allow us with opportunities to go to the places all over galaxy and there is a chance that we might find opportunities to improve our cultivations as well. The resources needed to travel the galaxy are too much for the Federation to procure without paying a huge price. The galactic council is a different landlord altogether."

The people understood his meaning. Shi Lang said, "The reason why I asked Amy to stay behind is that she is the strongest after me, she can handle any emergency that may occur. In the meantime, I will try to locate a few resources and then save some to take them back to the federation."

The soldiers around him nodded, and Shi Lang said, "Go, meditate. The ship will move on its own."

Since they were independent and the winners of the galactic showdown, even though it was the lowest tier they were given some perks. Such as free travel to the blue star without being picked up by the vessel registered for the Galactic Council.

Shi Lang's identity was also another reason they were allowed to go over on their alone. The team spent the rest of their time meditating or doing some light sparring. The ship was the best vessel in the federation and it could be operated by twenty people, or even one person only as well.

Shi Lang spent most of his time comprehending the new discoveries of his shura sutra. He has made some new discoveries and his skills have improved. He needed to assimilate in his new understanding in his skills so he was busy with his own training in a secluded room.

After twenty-nine days, the ship entered the vicinity of the Blue Star and the planetary defense system initiated a few probes and then the staff made a few queries that were answered by Jill from the command bridge. Shi Lang was still in his room, he was about to end his cultivation soon, and was not to be disturbed by anyone at this moment.

Sonic controlled the ship with ease and docked to the space port of the Blue Star. Just when they finished packing their stuff, Shi Lang woke up. His crimson eyes were glowing with a flash. Shi Lang took a deep breath and then he exited his room. Since the division was ready to disembark, he did not have anything much to pay attention to.

He tied his sword on his back, and led the people out. Shashi was waiting for them outside the port and he was going to take them all back to their lodgings.

Shi Lang moved forward and then soon they met Shashi. The man rushed over with a big smile on his face and greeted the team. He said, "Welcome back, General Lang. Hmmm, all of these people are new faces. When you said your division it reminded me of the team you bought for the D-tier competition. Well, anyhow, hello everyone."

The ace division cast him a gaze and nodded, they did not respond with big words and moved out of the port to board a vehicle Shashi brought. This vehicle was akin to a bus, and Shi Lang never understood why this man was used to driving such a thing.

Shi Lang said, "Shashi, find me a nice spa tonight, we all want to relax before the test and also to explore this place. Last time we were on a tight schedule."

Shashi was surprised but then nodded as he said, "Do not worry, I will handle it. Just do not get carried away during your relaxation, Boss. Things have not been very smooth here lately."

Shi Lang raised his brows and asked, "What is happening here?"

Shashi sighed and said, "The top five are unstable."

"Mister, please speak in one go, we do not have the patience.", stated Jill.

Shashi said, "There are five big civilizations that sit on the high table of the Council, namely, Ikeras, Kaijins, Nazza, Blooms, and finally Chikari. So, half a month ago, the son of the Chikara King, the crown prince happened to be chasing after a Nazza criminal for sins committed in their home country. However, the prince killed the man in a no killing zone."

Shi Lang asked, "No Killing zone?"

Shashi nodded and said, "No killing zones are the places just like the name suggests. These zones are shelters to the homeless, the sick, and the refugees from all over the galaxy. So, killing is an act that is prohibited there. However, since the prince killed the enemy, he was imprisoned by Nazza. They are torturing him as you speed. So do not go out and pick trouble with anyone. We have no idea who might be who."

Shi Lang nodded, the vehicle reached the hotel and the team got down. Their rooms were already reserved and all they had to do was to throw in their luggage and start living. Shi Lang and the team slept during a few hours of day light and in the evening, Shashi arrived to pick them up.

He took them to the dedicated entertainment district of the city. Every City was asked to have an entertainment zone and not to pollute the other regions. Shashi bought them to a spa and said, "This is the place where you will receive the best massage in the city. If they claim to be second, none in the city will go for the first. Please follow me."

Shi Lang and the rest followed and they were surprised to see the person behind the reception counter. It was a lady with unmatched beauty and she had three fluffy tails standing erect behind her.

Shashi smiled and walked over, "Gena, how have you been my dear."

Gena was the lady with incomparable beauty, and not only she, this place was brimming with beauty. The lady smiled and said, "Hello, Lord Shashi, long time no see, you have gotten busier."

Shashi smiled and said, "Yes, indeed, well today I bring you business. These people are here for massage, and spa, I have booked their slots earlier, please attend to them."

Gena nodded and then began to check the details of the people, but just when Shi Lang was passing beside her to enter the dedicated room, she was surprised and mumbled, "Master Lang?"
