Ace Of Terrans

Crystal was wary of Jill ever since the lady had turned faces with her. Jill did not like people hiding things and that too inside the division. This team was like a family to her, and in some aspects, even more than family and they all trusted each other with their lives and deaths.

Jill stood close to Crystal and asked, "What do you think you were doing? Trying to get information out of a child while using your charm techniques. Here I thought you would not stoop any lower."

Crystal shivered as the chill in Jill's tone increased with every word that she said. She did not understand what actually happened just now. She was supposed to get the information, and not the other way around. How could a toddler resist her charm and even turn the tables on her? She had not yet wrapped her brain in this fact and then this lady came.

Jill looked at the surprised lady in front of her and said with a sneer on her face, "You think you are the only one who knows how to charm people? Boss had given us all a charming technique before coming here. While Shi Tao has a mirroring Talisman on her. Every soul technique that can control her consciousness, gets repelled and reversed. So, now do tell me what you want exactly."

Crystal was surprised to see that Shi Lang has put up such a guard against her, and even a talisman was cast to prevent anything from happening. At this time, she was thinking about whether she was the fox or Shi Lang. This was something, that she had never expected.

After listening to what Jill said, she gave up her resistance and said, "I have been around the boss, for a very small time, but when I was on earth, I researched and found that not many things were listed in the files. How am I supposed to know if this person will really help my creed in the future and not exploit them for the resources?"

She had red eyes, and her expression was sincere. She was not using any techniques. Jill was not heartless, this girl was someone she had groomed when she came on the team and had quite some attachment. She softened her tone and asked, "What do you wish to know? I will tell you as long as it is not sensitive."

Crystal was surprised, and then after a few minutes, she asked Jill all sorts of questions.

...

Shi Lang stood amidst the thundering clouds and all the lightning was squirming over his body. His skin had turned translucent and his bones were visible. The heavenly lightning energy that he had absorbed in the past was now resonating and his body was evolving to another level.

While this was going on in his body, Shi Lang was also comprehending a technique in his mind. This was not a sword technique, but a fist technique. In his past life, Shi Lang was a free cultivator and he would often get into brawls. Later in his life only did he learn sword and other weapon skills.

This lightning fist technique in his mind was very destructive and rough, Shi Lang wanted to use this for two things, one was to intimidate his opponent and the second was his desire to act quickly. The Shura sword technique did not consume much energy and was optimal too, but he wished to have a technique that he could use without showing his hole cards.

Even if Crystal knows what he was capable of doing, she will not be able to estimate his present prowess. The change in the cultivation realm was one factor the other factor was the time he spent in the Shura realm. Shi Lang was confident that if he used the shura sword style to face an enemy like the mercenary group, then he will be able to take them down with half the effort.

Shi Lang was slowly comprehending the lightning fist, and the lightning streaks over his body all gradually faded, and so did the clouds. When he opened his eyes, he had lost the sense of time. The young man floated down the void and came to the barracks. He found the entire team sitting inside.

Shi Lang asked, "How many days has it been?"

Jill stood up and said, "Just two days, Boss."

Shi Tao skipped over and said, "Dad, why do you ask how many days it has been?"

Shi Lang picked her in his arms and said, "I was lost in comprehending the technique so I have no idea of how much time has gone by. Come, we need to set up the formation array."

The people nodded. Shi Lang asked, "How many of you broke through, and how many have a bottleneck."

Jill looked at everyone and said, "Sparrow, Raz, Ajax, and Mitsu have broken through, the rest are on probation."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Those with bottlenecks are going for special training, while you all will have to consolidate your foundation."

Jill snickered and the rest shivered. Aran asked, "Boss, what is this special training?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "You will have to mingle with our new allies to get to know that."

Aran gulped and looked at Crystal with a gaze that meant please help me. Shi Lang carried Shi Tao in his arms and the rest of the people followed him to the valley. The people got inside the valley and Shi Lang took out a big spirit crystal and walked to the center of the valley, where the array was set up.

Then he dug out a deep pit and placed the spirit stone under. A few moments later, the spirit stones resonated and then the array began to glow. The team looked around at the shining spots and Shi Lang said, "Crystal, activate it."

Crystal nodded and walked over to the center of the array and then she slit her palm, letting the blood drip down on the ground and the next thing was the spirit array lighting up. The people were surprised but Crystal said, "Boss, it is active, we just need to supply spirit energy to the array and the teleportation channel will be active."

Jill asked, "Why did you drip your blood on the ground?"

Crystal replied, "This is my signature for the teleportation channel."

Shi Tao walked closer to her and looking at the ground she said, "Why does this look like a talisman rune?"

Crystal was surprised and said, "Yes, it is a rune. How do you know?"

Shi Tao tilted her head and said, "Tao can make class one rune for weapon enforcement."

Crystal was shocked and so was the rest of Ace division. Shi Lang said, "Tao, no flexing."

Tao stuck out her tongue at Shi Lang and came back to his side, and asked, "Baba, you have to teach me class two runes, Mom does not teach me these things."

Shi Lang rubbed her head and said, "After this alliance is set up, I will teach you. Okay?"

Shi Tao nodded and stood at her place. Shi Lang said, "Those with bottlenecks, come and channel your spirit energies inside the spirit points and then channel it to the center of the array. The core will be activated and then the teleportation tunnel will form."

The people nodded and all of them formed a circle outside the visible array points and started channeling the spirit energy through them. Soon the array reacted and after the circuit was completed. A black hole appeared in the void. However, the pressure from this black hole was very minimal.

Crystal looked at Shi Lang and said, "Boss, after me?"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Jill, watch over Tao."

Shi Tao looked at him and asked, "Baba, I will not go?"

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "No, love, you will have to wait till the alliance is settled."

Shi Tao pouted but then she nodded and walked over to Jill. Shi Lang smiled and walked to the entrance and asked Crystal to jump in. Just when he was about to jump in, he heard a sweet voice, "Be careful and come back soon, Baba."

Shi Lang looked back and said, "Yes, my dear."

That said, Shi Lang jumped inside the black hole.

...

Shi Lang sensed the world around him spin, and he looked around, by the time he could make a judgment, his body stopped moving and he stood on a stone floor. Looking around he found that there was a bustling city. He took in a deep breath and a stream of spirit energy rushed inside his nose.

His body felt so light that he could not help but start skipping. Crystal saw this and said, "Boss, you are having fun?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "Oh, you bet I am. I cannot help but want to spar with someone. The rules of this world are different from the federation home planet."

Suddenly a deep voice sounded, "So, this is a Terran."
