"Alright!

Welcome to The 'Shaolin Sector!"

Everyone couldn't help but feel confused amidst their excitement.

Shaolin sector?

What was that?

They thought that the name was very weird, as they had never heard of anyone or thing with that name at all.

Could the name have been an acronym or something?

In truth, Landon didn't want to change the name, as he felt that it would be slightly disrespectful to the Shaolin masters back on earth.

Besides... The name 'Shaolin' was so unique and martial artsy, that Landon couldn't come up with a better name for it.

That's why he stuck with it like glue.

Of course, those in this sector would still have to take their regular military courses since they still needed to be efficient with guns and so on.

They could just treat their regular military classes as a full job, and come to this sector and train here like as if it were mandatory gym time, karate class time and so on.

In fact, Landon had decided to look through each person's schedule and only have them come in during their less busy days.

Most people typically had only 3 or 2 classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays... So he could give them as much training as he wanted on those days.

And on Saturdays, most soldiers just had rock climbing classes early in the morning.

Hence they could also spend a few hours training over and over again.

For sure, if they were free on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, then they could also train on those days as well.

Because just like back on earth, people still went to the gym or entered fighting classes after working or even going to school.

So he had to find the perfect blend that worked with everyone's schedule.

Of course to give a better understanding of it all, he decided to demonstrate some abilities of proper Shaolin masters to these m chosen candidates.

"Captain Flint, it's time" Landon said while looking at Flint... Who in turn nodded back.

Flint calmly went towards a locker on the side and brought out several stones the size of a shoe.

Of course, he also brought out several nails as well before finally distributing it out to the other instructors too.

The candidates scrunched up theit faced in utter confusion, as they didn't understand why their instructors were passing rocks around.

Eh?

What were they trying to do?

Landon looked at them and smiled.

"Since no one has left yet, then from today onwards... You all will be residents within the Shaolin sector.

Your things will be moved into the dormitories here.

You will meditate in the Shaolin way, and use the Shaolin training rooms after your regular classes.

And soon, you will become what we refer to as Shaolin masters!

Yes... You all will become Shaolin masters.

But what exactly makes Shaolin masters unique?

well... Some say that they have superpowers, while others say that they aren't human.

But with time, you all will know just how powerful Shaolin masters really are!"

Everyone's heart was bubbling with excitement when they heard Landon speak.

Even though they didn't understand or know what a Shaolin master was, they still felt like becoming such a master would make them an extremely terrifying force to reckon with.... just like their idols standing next to Landon.

Superpowers?

Was that even possible?

Their minds completely went blank, as it slowly drifted them towards fantasy island.

Some started thinking of the many fantasy novels that they had read in Baymard.

Would they be able to fly like Superman?..... Or would they become like the amazing hulk who could smash anything within their paths ok instead.

From many of the books that they have read here in Baymard..... It was said that currently, humans had only unlocked 2.5% of their minds.

So what would happen if they even managed to unlock 10 or 15%?

Evolution would make things change!

And so with this in mind, they couldn't help but wonder if having superpowers was really impossible.

What if decades and millennium from now, human beings unlocked 100% of their capabilities?

They suddenly felt like in such a world, having superpowers would definitely be a norm.

Their bodies trembled from sheer excitement when they thought about the possibilities of them having superpowers.

Yes!

They had already decided to become Shaolin masters, no matter how tedious and strenuous training was.

Pain?

Heh!

They were born for it!

(*^*)

They listened to Landon with their ears perked up, as they didn't want to miss out on anything.

"Alright!

The biggest secret of a Shaolin master is the exhaustive training of their minds and bodies.

So there's no magic involved.

You all will train your minds and bodies while using your hands as your main weapon.

Yes...Your hands!

These will be subjected to some harsh training, and when you complete your training.., you will be able to crack open stones like they were nothing." Landon said, before gesturing for the instructors to take the floor.

Everyone opened their eyes widely while waiting to see what the instructors would do.

Were they going to crack open the massive stones in their hands?

The instructors first held up the stones, so as to show that they were still as hard and uncracked.

And after that, they dropped their stones on the floor with a loud bang.

Not surprisingly, the stones still remained uncracked.

Of course, they also gave the stones to those sitting in front to also check them as well.

Now, it was time for them to turn their hands into weapons of destruction.

Fling placed the rock on the floor, and quickly opened his right hand and used his palm to hit the stone continuously.

'Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!'

'Crack!'

--silence--

The candidates all opened their eyes widely in shock as they started at the time that had just been cracked into 2.

(°∆°)

Some of them stood up in shock, while others blinked several times just to make sure that they were wide awake.

Their lips quivered and their bodies swayed slightly from the heavy mental blow that they had just received.

How... How was that even possible?

"Oh my God!

Did senior Flint just crack that heavy stone into two with just his palms?!

Are his hands made of stone?"

"Dammit!

They really do have superpowers!"

"Heavens!

I'm not dreaming, right?

Just looking at how strong he is, wouldn't I die if he punched my head in a fight?

My skull will definitely crack if he did!"

"From now on, senior Flint is my new idol now!

How can someone crack a stone using only 4 palm hits?

He's truly a monster!"

"Look! Look! Look! Look!!!

Senior Gwenevieve cracked his own style using just 2 palm fists instead.

As expected of my idol."
