[Today, there are three chapters. Two in the morning, and one in the afternoon. Enjoy]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Sky Scar dusted off the dirt on his body, the cold light in his eyes seemed to want to shatter everything as he looked at the last fly standing next to Xue Mei. The fly seemed panicked, aside from its cold face. Its hand was mysteriously split into two halves, smoothly cut as if it were done by a blade.
Under Sky Scar's hard fist, the body of this last male fly, wrapped in cosmic energy, was thrown against the defensive shield which was originally meant to prevent Sky Scar from escaping.
Xue Mei was lost for words. In just a few minutes, all her loyal suitors were defeated. Seeing Sky Scar approaching, her fear increased. She instinctively retreated back but bumped onto the defensive shield. Cornered, Xue Mei exploded in a fit of anger.
"Go to hell", she shouted, rushing forward. True to her position as a twelfth-level Controller's sister, her attack was quicker than those of the flies. Her attack was about to hit Sky Scar, but he escaped at an amazing speed away from the range of her attack. In the moment Xue Mei faltered, Sky Scar grabbed her by the throat and smashed her against the defensive shield.
Xue Mei wouldn't accept defeat. She put up a wild struggle, hitting Sky Scar repeatedly. But her attacks seemed like they were landing on cotton, having no effect. This was the power of Cosmic Energy. Having reached its second stage, the Cosmic Energy was now being used for defence.
Sky Scar held Xue Mei's slender throat in his left hand while taking out his alloy dagger, that glowed with a bluish light, he held it up to Xue Mei's face.
"I advise you to stop struggling, otherwise, I can't guarantee that your pretty face will remain unscathed. Although beauty treatments can restore these damages, it means you won't be able to show your face for a while," he threatened.
Thinking of her beauty, Xue Mei stopped her struggle, glaring at Sky Scar in anger.
Sky Scar didn't loosen his defensive posture, remembering how William had succumbed to a sudden explosion of space-related supernatural power, a lesson he won't forget. He won't offer such an advantage to anyone. Moreover, who can guarantee if Xue Mei, who now lay handcuffed, did not have special powers?
With each passing second, Xue Mei's breathing became even more difficult. Unable to speak, she let her angry glare do the talking.
"You should remember every word I say today. I won't hurt you because you are a woman, and I disdain hitting women. You are also the sister of Teacher Shane, that's another reason. However, I hope such an incident doesn't happen again. Even though I won't hit a woman, for those soul-tainted women who are not worthy of existing, I can release their souls. I think you understand what I mean. You may be vexed by what happened that day but you should learn to control your wild temper. Today, I am teaching you a lesson - not every man will budge to your whims just because you are pretty. Remember, I am an exception," Sky Scar said. He glanced at Xue Mei's chest, then let go of her neck. Xue Mei immediately collapsed. Instead of disengaging the shield, Sky Scar started to split it with his dagger. The next moment, his silhouette had vanished leaving behind only his fading silhouette.
The ordeal left Xue Mei in a daze. The cries around her seemed to subside while Sky Scar's cold demeanor continued to unnerve her. She felt a sense of shame and hatred that consumed her mind. The seed of resentment began to take root in her heart.
Flying in mid-air, the coldness in Sky Scar's heart began to ebb away. The combat diffused much of his earlier depression. He felt a surge of bloodthirsty pleasure as his final punch defeated the last fly. Even though the Cosmic energy had been withdrawn, his punch inflicted serious injury. The fly's nose would never be straight again unless he opted for surgery.
Kindness could invite trouble. Maybe only overwhelming strength could ensure better survival in this world.
Suddenly, Sky Scar was taken aback. The earlier slice of the electric net using space-related supernatural power was different from the way he usually did it. The image of the electric net being cut in two appeared in his mind. He thought of how his powers at level three would usually not be able to split the electric net. William's neck was certainly not as strong as the electric net. Why did that work then? Could it be because of the sudden icy cold he felt earlier?
After taking to the sky, Sky Scar tried hard to find the components of his space-related supernatural power and the newly emerged chill, but he failed. The energy flow and chill seemed to have vanished, yet his space-based supernatural power still existed. Did the blow that broke the electric grid signify an improvement in his abilities? Sky Scar couldn't be sure. He checked the biological computer's prompts, and his supernatural power was still at Level Three, without any changes. Why was this? He didn't understand.
He vigorously shook his head to cast aside all the worries in his heart. At this moment, his rapidly flying body had already left the sky above the City of Zhongting. It had been over a year, and it was time to go home.
The most bustling place on Planet Zhongting was undoubtedly the City of Zhongting, but, on the entire Planet Zhongting, aside from the impoverished of the slums who had no recourse, most people lived satisfied lives. Sky Scar never understood why, at least seemingly democratic on the surface, the Galaxy Union didn't allocate funds to improve the slums on each planet. Distributing the most basic nutrient solution once a day couldn't solve the problem of these slums, especially for those impoverished people who have labor power yet know about technology as though it's a blank page. What they needed was not merely life-sustaining nutrient solution. They also needed intellectual fulfillment. Arbeit isn't only about money and sustenance; what's more important is that it can enrich one's life. No one wants to live in confusion and lethargy every day.
Upon thinking of this, a bold idea suddenly emerged in Sky Scar's heart. Although this idea was very illusory, he still wanted to do something for those impoverished people who were nearly spiritually broken or on the verge of exploding. Since childhood, he had seen too many impoverished people fall into madness. For them, Sky Scar had no pity in his heart, but he was willing to help, to give them the simplest forms of aid.
Sonic speed is roughly 290 meters per second, while the limit of the speed of light is 299,792.5 kilometers per second. These are two numbers that can't be compared, symbolizing the gap between sound speed and light speed. Sky Scar, satisfied with his sonic speed, couldn't help but think of those Judges from the Holy Alliance, achieving near-light speed with their supernatural powers. What concept was that? When Liao En told him about the Judges' light speed abilities, Sky Scar was filled with doubt.
Could he really achieve it? Sky Scar didn't know, but he trusted that the Holy Alliance was right. The human body itself is a giant treasure chest that can be developed. Something that Liao En often told him was, "Limits are made to be broken."
A stubborn belief rose within his heart. Liao En used to call him a madman, and he also told him that Madame Oya called him a miracle creator. Yes, I must become a miracle creator and make miracles no longer miracles in my life. The first goal is the upgrading of my supernatural power and surpassing sonic speed.
Thinking of this, Sky Scar spurred on the cosmic energy in his body, his speed increased again, and he started flying in the direction of home at his maximum speed.
Ningding City, also known as the City of the Poor. On nearly every planet, there is a poverty-stricken city like this. In cities like these, nearly half of the areas hold slums. People who have lost all means of sustenance gather here, despite consisting mainly of the elderly and the young; there are also some youths who grew up here.
Planet cities don't have a special range, they only have boundary stones, but those are largely ceremonial.
The number of flying cars in Ningding City is pitifully low, showing its situation just from this one point. Sky Scar landed on the ground about two kilometers from Ningding City. This is his hometown, and he wished to see some changes around him.
Sky Scar was disappointed. There was no difference between when he left here over a year ago to enter his fifth semester at the Academy of Zhongting and now. Though he could see skyscrapers all his surroundings, compared to the completely modernized and technologically-oriented City of Zhongting, everything here could pretty much be described as garbage.
Looking at the place where he lived for over ten years, Sky Scar couldn't help but sigh in silence, but what could he do? The institution of the slums had spread throughout the entire Galaxy Union and had become an accepted norm. Although the impoverished had rebelled and protested, they were obviously ineffective against the powerful Galaxy Union. The impoverished knew too little about technology; they lacked knowledge and all the resources that could be used for resisting.
Sky Scar's parents had left the slum in his first year of studying at the Academy of Zhongting, which made him willing to follow Damon and leave this place. The house was purchased by Damon for Sky Scar's parents. To buy a dwelling in Ningding City costs less than a Cup of Dreamy Green in Dream City.
Ningding City is divided into two distinct parts: one is inhabited by ordinary people who almost all serve the slums, like making basic nutrient solutions to ensure the most basic living circumstances for the impoverished. Nobody wants to go there; everyone wants to leave the place. Yet even so, these ordinary people are still referred to as "rich" by the impoverished people in the slums, their living areas are also referred to as "rich areas".
I'm home, this is my home. The low houses of the slums are in sight. Dad, mom, I'm back.
