Shi Lang stood in the arena, surrounded by silence. Yes, the display of valor and skills had left the people in a daze. The first round had come to an end in the eighth minute, giving Shi Lang a brief time to heal himself from the stress of the battle.
Shi Lang disengaged the neural link and began to absorb the spirit stone in his hand. He had taken it out from the space ring. Neural links were far more developed now and the burden on his mind was shared by the jade spirit chip he had placed inside the mecha, but it was still tolling on his spiritual energy.
He absorbed the spiritual energy from the stone in just a minute, the size of the stone was just as big as two lychees. He said to the communicator, "Tell Ryan to assume a complete support role and not to enter the battle. He can rely on his higher speed to evade the battle. I do not wish for any complications."
