"It's three in the morning, are you crazy?" He started to reach for his bedside light when he heard the feminine voice shush him and gently press her soft fingertips against his lips.
She crawled up next to him and pressed her naked body against his and softly whispered in his ear, "Please don't kick me out, I am so close, I just need a little push to break through. I know if it's with you I can do it. Don't you find me even a little attractive?" Her eyes shined as the outside light reflected off of her unblinking eyes. He licked his lips and couldn't help running his hands over her the soft skin of her body. He swallowed hard.
"You are beautiful but what about.." He started to ask.
She pressed her finger over his lips and then with her other hand reached down between his legs. "Let me worry about them, please? Just circulate your Doa qi, as we... Ahhh! Yes, like that, oh my god it's so big..."
Long Shen hadn't felt his Doa Qi increase so fast since he had first started cultivating. As an avid gamer, this was not just his first time with dual cultivation but also his first time being with a woman. He wasn't sure exactly how he should be doing things so he just acted the way the men in the many hours of porn he had used over his life had acted. After a few hours, she finally begged him to stop, "Stop stop stop, I can't take any more it's happening!" She cried out!
"Me too, here it comes!" He grunted and then felt an explosion deep inside of his body. Underneath him, her body tensed and she arched her back clawing at the bed.
"I'm there, I'm there!" She cried out, "I'm breaking through!" A thick gust of energy rushed through his body as he burst through to the ninth level. He looked down at her face, her eyes closed as a red aura covered her from head to toe. She grabbed onto him and pulled him close against her. Her head tipped back as she moaned loudly. He pressed his lips against hers and kissed her deeply, the second surge of energy washed through his body and he also started to visibly glow red. She gasped, her eyes opened and she looked into his eyes, "You're breaking through again! I can feel it, it's pushing me to the first level of energy gathering! Don't stop!"
In the other room sitting on the couch, Sarah clutched her pillow with a deep frown on her face. "Fuck you, Ting Ting! I'm telling Jason." She threw her pillow against the wall. "Great, first week I have a roommate, and Ting Ting breaks him through. Wait... Maybe I can get him to break me through after she's done?" She rubbed her chin and then walked over to his door and opened it, "Hey, can I join you two?"

The next morning Long Shen decided to practice more squad battles. He logged in and started doing head-to-head battles one after another at a rate that could only belong to a professional gamer. He quickly rose through the rankings, his statistics reaching levels that far surpassed any other cadet.
Around the campus, people were talking about God Shen as most had been crushed by him a few who had faced him early and won tried him again only to find that he was now unbeatable. It was almost like he had been throwing his early matches. His position on the rankings went from last to second in only a day. The King smirked and shook his head, "I'll let him get a little more experience before I try him again."
"You talking about cadet Long Shen? If you want to challenge him, you better do it quickly. We had a female student breakthrough last night and she reported that it was through dual cultivation with Long Shen. She said he also broke through. We aren't able to keep him here for more than a couple of weeks. If he passes the exam, he'll be assigned to training camp as a Lieutenant by the end of the month." An older professor smiled at the King. He shrugged and continued, "If he isn't blocked by a career officer, we might be seeing the first general."
The King blinked, "Wasn't he only at the seventh level when he enrolled? How could he break through three levels in less than a week?"
The professor shrugged and said, "That's the question we are all asking."
"A buddy of mine had him at training school, he was at the fourth level less than a few months ago. Not only cultivation though, but he's also beyond brilliant as a strategist. I knocked him down a few pegs in the squad battles, but not because his strategy was bad, just the opposite, his strategy was flawless, I just had the benefit of experience dealing with the strategies he was using." The King leaned back in his seat and then looked at the latest statistics. "He's the real deal."
A man came running into the room and shouted out, "God Shen is playing a 5 vs 1!" The professor quickly brought up the match on the main screen for everyone to watch.
The King shook his head and said, "Too early kid, you need to do more one-on-one..." His voice trailed away as he watched Long Shen take out squad after squad in a relentless overwhelming one-sided manner. The King stood up and pointed at the screen, "That's... How did he?"
The professor shook his head and then asked, "You said when you played against him he wasn't able to see the battlefield?"
The King nodded, "He was treating VR like a game, but this..."
The professor nodded and then asked, "It's like he learned your decade of battlefield experience overnight?"
The King shook his head, "No, not battlefield experience, it's like I showed him the door and he walked through it to a place I can't reach. He is still doing the same kinds of things he tried against me last time only the weaknesses I exploited are all gone."
The professor laughed and while shaking his head asked, "So instead of a professional soldier's battlefield experience, he is approaching it like a professional gamer? Interesting."
The King stood up and started walking out of the room so the professor asked, "Going to challenge him?"
The King stopped and turned his head back, "No, I am going to cultivate. I need to get out there with him."

Sarah paced around the living room of her shared dorm biting her thumb. Long Shen had been playing the VR game for the last six hours after attending morning classes. When she tried to get him to talk to her he simply said, "After my workout."
She got dressed in her training clothes and waited for him in the living room planning to stay by his side for the workout. Long Shen's door finally opened and he stepped out wearing his training clothes. "Sarah?"
She smiled at him and took his arm saying, "I'll go work out with you!"
Long Shen raised an eyebrow, "Sure, that's fine. Did you wait for me this whole time?"
Sarah's eyebrow twitched and she waved a hand, "Don't be stupid, why would I wait for like six hours?"
They walked out of the room together and noticed that there were about ten other women wearing training clothes standing outside the door.
"Hey God Shen, saw your squad battles, you are so good!" One of them said.
Another girl twirled her hair around her finger and asked, "Could you give me some pointers during PT?"
Sarah made a face and glared at the girls, "Come on Shen, let's go work out, no need to waste your time with these people who all have partners already."
"I guess Ting Ting's breakthroughs have made the news, huh?" Long Shen brushed his hand over the back of his head.
Sarah tightened her grip on his arm and said, "Something like that."

"Hello, Stan what brings you by so early in the evening?" An older man asked as he looked up from his tablet.
A middle-aged officer stood with his peak cap tucked under his armpit, "Lorne, I received a report that a corporal I sent you was a potential general, is that right?"
"Ah, that one." He tapped a few times on the tablet and then the large screen in his office displayed the testing results and accomplishments of Long Shen. "Stan I'll be honest with you, I'd like him for at least one year. His scores on everything the military needs him for are off the charts but his scores on the other subjects are at the high school level."
The military officer took a seat in one of the chairs in front of the older man's desk. "Brass wants officers, as soon as they are ready. We don't set many rules for that. Cultivation, strategy, and physical fitness to serve." He waved his hand at the displayed results, "This kid already meets our requirements for an officer."
The older man sighed, "Yes, he does. We haven't had him here long enough for him to make political connections or raise his EQ."
"I know, Lorne, but and I am telling you this in confidence, the top brass are getting weird orders from the top. The birds are starting to get impatient with us. They don't care about us, as you know, but recently they have been burning through our troops in reckless and dangerous ways."
The older man nodded and frowned, "I hear that Lucifer made an appearance himself on a battlefield?"
"Yes, and the officers in charge said he killed their troops and ours as if we were a bothersome inconvenience to him." The military man stood up and smoothed out his uniform. He dropped a document on the desk, "As of next month the cultivation level for lieutenant is the ninth layer."
The older man gasped, "They are taking them all?"
