Ace Of Terrans

Unaware of all the things being discussed by the two people in the administrative box, Shi Lang stood in front of his opponent, and asked, "Can you move?"

The person did not react and Shi Lang said, "Announcer Ling, do you think we can call this match?"

Announcer Ling woke up and nodded, she said, "Yes, the opponent does not have any capability to move anymore and he has lost the match."

Xiao Ling's words were not baseless, but they were the commanders being directed from the administration office upstairs. Tex knew very well the extent of this technique being used on someone. The scholar stood up on his feet and after casting a deep glance at Shi Lang, he cupped his fist and said, "You are a strong person, thank you for the fight. May I know what is the name of this move?"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "This technique is called the Emperor Steps. The principle of this technique is something an expert adapted from the move of a great personality. I just concentrate my spiritual energy on my opponent, while your spiritual pressure was scattered all over the place. This is the reason I could imply this technique to such a degree."

The scholar nodded and did not expect Shi Lang to just answer his questions so frankly. The scholar asked again, "Please pardon me for being too pretentious, but can you tell me why did your pressure become so heavy with every step?"

Shi Lang nodded with a faint smile and said, "The power of thoughts, the stronger your thoughts, the more spiritual energy you can control and manipulate."

The scholar was surprised and then nodded. The crowd was moved to see that this young man was willing to share his knowledge with them so casually. Xiao Ling could not help but ask, "Are you not scared of revealing such a good technique to someone from the spirit beast race?"

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I do not mind if someone else learns it. I will still try my best to get ahead of them and become stronger. Rather than worrying about keeping our techniques a secret, we should worry about how to grow stronger together."

Xiao Ling nodded and wanted to say something when the young Terran said, "You do not have to tell me that I am acting too idealistically, I know that some differences will always be there, but we all need to work together despite all that."

Shi Lang's words stopped all the sneers in the crowd. It turns out that this young man was not only strong with his moves but also with his mind. Xiao Ling asked, "Would you like to continue fighting?"

Shi Lang shrugged and said, "I do not see a reason not to."

Xiao Ling called for another opponent, this person was in the middle of the primordial soul realm, and Shi Lang's limiter was adjusted again. The battle began, but unlike in the past, this time Shi Lang took his time, he exchanged blows with the body cultivator in front of him and the people began cheering again.

...

Tex furrowed his brows and asked, "Why do I feel like he is holding back?"

Crystal nodded and said, "He is holding back, unlike the last match where the technique was unleashed, he is not using any technique this time. This is plane boxing basics."

Tex snorted and said, "You can stop defending him."

"After you absurdly thought that he holds a piece of Master's legacy, he rectified the doubt. Do you know what would have happened if the elders were to hear and believe your whimsical speech? They would have drained him of his soul and searched every speck of his being for confirmation. The result would have been the collapse of the alliance we are looking forward to.", Crystal said.

Tex sighed and said, "Well, I accept that I was getting a bit too excited but do not be so sarcastic with me, I am your best friend."

Crystal cast him a disgusted glare and said, "Please do not make the world misunderstand my vision by such claims."

Then she turned around and focused on the match below.

...

The opponent facing Shi Lang was a burly man who suddenly stopped attacking and said, "I can sense that you are holding back. Are you looking down on me?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "Aren't you holding back as well?"

The man was surprised and then nodded. He said, "If I go all out, will you do the same?"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "One must not disrespect their opponent when learning from each other."

The burly man nodded and assumed a fighting stance. Around his fists, blue energy surged and began to glow. Shi Lang amused a stance and then his fists began to crawl with lightning streaks. The small flashes attracted the attention of all the parties present in the arena.

The two began fighting again and along with the booms and thuds, the people saw sparks and snowflakes flying all over the place. Shi Lang was not dominating this exchange but he was not lagging behind either. The concentration of the spirit energy inside Shi Lang's body was still minorly hindered by the limiter.

The exchange continued when suddenly Shi Lang took a step to the side, and then with a duck, he stepped in and his fist connected with the guts of the burly man. They left brutal-looking wounds and scars. The impact shook the burly man, and he said, "I admit defeat."

Shi Lang did not say anything he was able to understand the reaction of the man in front of him, after all, his fist was not an ordinary blow. He had channeled a wisp of his spiritual energy inside the opponent and this invasion would leave the opponent worried over time.

Xiao Ling cheered and said, "Congratulations, Shi Lang, you have managed a streak of three wins. I want to see how long can you last."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I am also learning a few things from the opponents. It is my pleasure to fight them."

Then Xiao Ling introduced another opponent. The result was the same but this time, Shi Lang took some extra time to get it finished. The opponent stood looking at Shi Lang after the result and said, "I have been stuck in a realm of my technique for quite some time now. Thank you for your guidance."

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "It is my pleasure to be able to help you with it. Thank you for your time."

The crowd began to cheer and clap for the young Terran. Shi Lang caught them all cheering his name after the battle. Xiao Ling wanted to say something when a strong wave of sword intent flashed toward Shi Lang.

The young man's eyes turned cold and the incoming sword intent was dissolved. He said, "I would accommodate you more than happy if you have the guts to come in front of me."

His words made the arena fall silent. The people all knew who was the owner of that sword intent, but they did not expect Shi Lang to call him out by name.

...

Tex said with a smirk, "I will go and try him now."

Crystal faintly said, "Do not end up with your limbs detached from your body."

This irked Tex, but the next moment he vanished from his spot, and directly jumped into the arena after slashing the window open with his sword intent. He stood in front of Shi Lang and said, "I am Tex, and my cultivation is also in the early nirvana realm, how about it Terran, would you like to fight?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "I was thinking when will they send someone really nice. Someone who will push me to the limit. I do not mean to disrespect the people I faced earlier. However, you give me a sense of threat. Hahaha, very nice. Come on."

Tex said, "Take out your sword then."

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "My weapon does not come out until I am seeking blood. How about you lend me a normal sword? Using artifacts is a bit too much when sparring with a potential friend and rival."

Tex was surprised and then he laughed out loudly. The people in the observation stands could not understand what was going on with the two of them but then they saw Tex take out two normal swords and flung one to Shi Lang and kept one for himself, as he said, "You are a worthy opponent, Shi Lang."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I hope you are also a worthy opponent."

The two were looking at each other directly and the tension between them was almost materializing. Crystal said, "Begin."

As soon as the words dropped the two young men slashed at each other with their basic swords.
