Final day until the Second round

Ace was thinking and experimenting with different moves while fighting with Alice's robot body. her body was also made of the best quality metals available and she was capable of Fighting rank 8 spirit masters. If he made the body more bulky, it might get stronger but he didn't want to ruin her look. she looked beautiful as she was and he kind of liked her look that reminded him of his aunt.

Ace was practicing aiming as he tried to use his spritual force efficiently and after three days, there was little progress. He was a human from another world and controling formless the energy was something new for him. it was like controlling the movement of a space fleet with only thoughts. although you can control collective body of the fleet all at once easily, when you needed to micro manage and control individual ships, the difficulty would rise several levels.

Although it wasn't that hard for ace because of his enormous computing capabilities and a super memory core.

He still needed some time to modify his memory core to go from being good at storing to being good at controling. As a scientist, he didn't need steady hands or muscles, he can just make machines that were more steady then any human so there wasn't a need for the scientists to develop their brain like an athlete.

Ace slowly gathered the lump of spritual force in his abdomen without the help of pump as the pump was continuously absorbing the spritual force from outside. He then guided this spritual force towards his hand. This time, he broke the spritual force in smaller parts and sent them in small meridians inside his arms as his arm started to glow. Now the spritual force was evenly spread along his arm.

He then tried to extend the spritual force outside his body but as soon as the hand with spritual force became three times as big as his original hand, it collapsed and the spritual force on the outside would go away into atmosphere like a smoke. This was his limit.

Spirit Masters could project their Spritual force outside of their body to certain extent and as Ace was still a Rank 1 Spirit Master, it was hard for him to learn this.

" Hmmm..., i guess this is the limit for now, there is still one day left...let me check on the Trouper city now " He said as he stopped using the technique. By now, he was able to defeat the Level 7 Infantry Robot and this was equivalent to defeating an ordinary Rank 4 spirit Master.

He walked to his room and took a bath as he changed into his standard tight Duralloy pants. they were pants that looked as if they were made from ordinary meterial but were incredibly durable. He was also wearing shoes of the same meterial and his upper body was exposed at the moment. He was looking at himself in the mirror " hmm, do i look handsome in this gold skin? " He thought that he looked good with the golden halo around him but now with metalic shine on his skin, he looked like a golden doll.

" Master, you would look good no matter what color your skin is..." alice said as Ace smiled at her. He nodded as he walked towards his wardrobe and took out a T-shirt with the logo of Marvel on it. He felt a little bit nostalgic as he looked at the T-shirt. How long it has been since he left the slums? That was the time he would never forget, that was the time he was the most carefree person ever. No worries about enemies, no ambition and no one to give orders to.

There were only few friends and fun things to do like reading wuxia novels and watching anime. He was also a Marvel Fan as he would watch their every movie. At that time, he used to wear a T-Shirt with the Marvel Logo on the T-Shirt and as he was called back to the Trouper Star Sector, He was Forbidden from wearing such clothes.

It wasn't because the trouper family was against it but it was because of his safety. He would wear a foldable mechanical armour at all times, he wasn't allowed to take it off even in the bathroom. As he remembered those days, he remembered the things he used to read and watch in those days.

Suddenly he had an idea as he remembered some of the comics that he watched. " Right! Why am i trying to create something from scratch? I've seen so many superhero movies and so many anime. i can just take their super moves and try to recreate them! yes! maybe one of them is as efficient as required and it'll be more fun"

...

1 day remaining until the second round.

The ranking were ever-changing but most of the top places stayed the same. there were some disciples who fought with robots and some who challenged each other in top 1000 list. as for the top 300 list, Tang Rong again got the first place by defeating a level 8 infantry robot.

Ad the day was about to end, The huge projection of Sector lord appeared over the whole city. The clothes were changed this time as he was wearing a black suit from modern era. " Hello fellow cultivators, i hope you had fun in trouper city. Today is the last day of operation of trouper city, tonight at 12 pm, we are going to close this city and the second round would start.

I am going to announce the rules for the upcoming second round right now. The second round has two stages, the first stage has already started as only 300 people from top 1000 would advance to second round. Although this is a little bit unfair for the apprantice ranks, the world works on the law of jungle. If your cultivation is low, you can only achieve so much..." he smiled as he looked down at the disciples in the city.

They were looking into the sky. There was a commotion among the disciples as they discussed the announcement.

" This is not fair! i am a genius in apprantice level! i am almost about to get into top 350! "

" How can you do this to us!? this is not a fair way to determine the best genius! "

Some disciples who weren't satisfied with the announcement shouted as the huge image of the Sector lord smiled. " You've been given enough benefits already, Allowing you to enjoy staying in the trouper city for a week was part of it. Those who were able to defeat the training robots were able to buy enough weapons, armours, spritual crystals, Martial Techniques and Cultivation Techniques.

That was your reward, the same goes for the top 300 that are selected from the top 1000..."

As the image of Sector lord continued, the sect leaders and other top 300 disciples who brought their slots were excited. They were able to avoid fighting 700 people in one go which made them happy.

They now wondered how the next round would take place. Ace was already at rank 273 because of his cultivation and his strength. Few disciples challenged him through their phones but they were defeated by his single Kamehameha attack or A single blast of Golden Vajra Palm.

Those above him didn't need to challenge him and those below him didn't dare to challenge him, it was better to fight someone above him then to fight him for those disciples. Whenever he got out of top 300, he would challange the person in top 300 randomly and defeat them.

Although the fights inside the city were prohibited, there was still exception for challange. Disciples were able to issue a challange to those that want to defeat, the rank would remain same if the person successfully defeated the challanger and if the challanger won, the ranks in top 1000 for them would be swapped.

Those in top 300 of the other list weren't allowed to fight as they were geniuses of the sects, there was a certain risk of getting killed inside of the Trouper city and there were many who were willing to sacrifice their life in exchange for the life of certain sect geniuses.

Finally the huge projection waved it's hand as sector lord nodded at the city. " Today is the final day, last chance for you to reshuffle your ranking. tomorrow, those who do not qualify for top 300 would need to join the commoners and live in the tent. The trouper city would readjusted and a small section of the city would stay open for sect representatives and for those who would take part in second and third round.
