Ace Of Terrans



Shi Lang finished advancing and opened his eyes. He found all the candidates looking at him. He stood up and asked, "Is there a flower on my face?" 

The remark made everyone turn gazes, and Wen Lengxue said, "Junior Brother, congratulations." 

Shi Lang thanked her with a faint smile, and the rest of the people followed to congratulate him. Bo Qingtan said, "I have never acknowledged anyone of the same generation to be more skillful than me. However, today, you have set a high bar for me. I will catch up one day, so be on watch, Brother Shi Lang." 

His address for Shi Lang changed from fellow Daoist to Brother, meaning he accepted him as a friend. Shi Lang also knew that it was better to have a few friends. Although he did not completely trust anyone, he knew how to share the itsy bit of information to keep the people under the impression that they were friends. 

The terran replied with a smile, "I will also work harder. The way to advance is not so easy." 

The people nodded, and Yun Xue said, "Sir Shi, I apologize for my move earlier. It could have hurt you severely." 

Her address shocked the people because Yun Xue had never addressed anyone, Sir. This displayed that she regarded Shi Lang highly and was inclined toward him. Shi Lang waved his hand lightly and said, "You do not have to think so much. I only hope that my attack did not harm you." 

He did not reciprocate the address, shocking the people even more. Bai Yan suddenly said, "Oh yes, Junior Brother, Peak Master Mei is holding your rewards. I suggest you go there first in case the peak master forgets where she has placed them." 

Shi Lang nodded and turned, saying, "Owe you one, senior sister."

The terran vanished with the fastest speed. The rest of the people began to talk to each other slowly. Shi Lang arrived at the peak master's residence and was about to enter when he realized it was very late. The young man turned around and wanted to return to his house when the calm voice of Guqin sounded from the courtyard. 

The terran paused and began to listen to the music. The piece reminded him of the federation and the people he left behind. However, the sensation was a fleeting matter. He picked up his steps and returned to his room when Mei Lingyao's voice sounded, "Shi Lang, come in."

Shi Lang smiled faintly and entered the courtyard. He found the lady sitting under the wisteria pavilion and asked, "Did you come here to receive your rewards?" 

The terran nodded, and Mei Lingyao waved her hand. Then she tossed a space ring to Shi Lang and said, "The high-level spirit artifact and the technique will be selected in the Sutra Hall in the valley, and for the Spirit Artifact, you will have to go to the forging peak. Peak Master Wan will take you to artifact hall." 

Shi Lang nodded and accepted the space ring. Mei Lingyao continued talking as her fingers stroked the strings of the Guqin, "The visit to the secret world. You will have to leave with the people from the Dragon Sword Sect." 

The terran was surprised but nodded. Mei Lingyao said, "Do not worry. The sect has assigned an immortal king-level guardian to watch you from the shadows."

Shi Lang nodded, and the lady continued, "When Senior Tian Long visited us, he said we should give you protection, not aid. Why would he say this?" 

The terran sighed and mumbled, "Old bastard, you just wait." 

Mei Lingyao was surprised, and Shi Lang explained, "Senior Tian Long had left a clone back in the lower realm. I did not know his name back then, and when we had some dispute, I just uttered old bastard, and it stuck." 

The lady could not help but marvel at this anecdote. She looked at Shi Lang and asked, "Xiao Lang, tell me what you used to do in your world?" 

The man replied, "I was a soldier." 

The lady was curious and asked him more about his world, and Shi Lang kept telling her everything. He was very patient, and she was surprised. She could not help but wonder how humans could travel through space in big metallic vessels. 

Shi Lang suddenly recalled something and said, "Teacher, I have something for you." 

The young man tapped his communicator and asked, "Can you record the images here?" 

Above his communicator, all the fights of the sword battle were being played. Mei Lingyao stopped playing with her guqin and asked, "What is this?" 

Shi Lang told her about his communicator and asked if she could record these videos. Mei Lingyao nodded and took a few stones from her space ring. These stones were called Image stones. When channeled with spiritual energy, the array enraged on them would record the image into the stone. 

The young man said, "The scene you see in red is when our Sword Peak Core Disciples were weak, and their moves revealed flaws." 

Mei Lingyao instantly focused and, after a few minutes, said, "Yes, what you said is correct. This will help them improve their ways of fighting a lot." 

Shi Lang nodded, and the lady said, "You have done well. This communicator, is it from the old world too?" 

The terran nodded and said, "I would have left it with you, but they do not have the equipment to reset the settings of this device in this world. It will not work if I take it off my wrist." 

Mei Lingyao nodded and said, "It is alright. We will not be able to use it anyhow. Well, go on rest, then go to collect the rewards in the morning. The Dragon Sword Sect people intend to leave after breakfast." 

Shi Lang nodded and stood up to leave the courtyard. Mei Lingyao coughed and said, "Xiao Lang, next time you visit, remember to wear your clothes properly." 

Now only the Terran realized that he was walking around in the nude. He turned around to apologize to Mei Lingyao and rushed away. The lady broke out in a peal of laughter as she saw his flustered appearance. 

...

The next morning, Shi Lang rushed down the mountain, and the serving disciples greeted him with great respect. This guy was the champion; of course, he deserved respect. 

The terran came down the mountain and rushed to the Sutra Hall. He saw a guardian disciple and asked, "Senior Brother, is the hall open?" 

The young man looked at Shi Lang and replied, "The Sutra hall is open to only those qualified to enter. You cannot enter to take a look." 

Shi Lang took a jade plate from his space ring and asked, "Will this work?" 

It was a jade plate that was handed over to him by Mei Lingyao. The disciple from the discipline hall checked the plate and was surprised. He asked, "You are Senior Brother Shi Lang?" 

The terran smiled and nodded. The disciple returned the plate and said, "Please enter." 

Shi Lang thanked the guy and walked inside. The discipline hall guys exchanged glances and heaved sighs of relief. If it was someone else, they would have created a ruckus. The ways of the immortal realm were like this only. Those with power would not stand for even a slightest bit of transgression. 

...

Shi Lang entered the hall and was greeted by an elder sorting out scrolls behind a desk. He walked up and greeted the elder, "Good morning, Elder, I am Shi Lang, the sect master instructed me to come here and choose a heaven-level martial technique." 

The elder stopped working and took a good look at Shi Lang. Then he adjusted his glasses and said, "Where is the jade plate?" 

The terran quickly extended the plate to the elder with both hands. The old man hooked his finger and the plate flew over to him. Shi Lang was surprised, this was the first time he has seen such a thing. 

He thought about what the old man just did, but he was interrupted, the old man said, "You can find them on the seventh floor. You can pick five human-level techniques, or two earth level techniques if you do not find a suitable heaven-level technique." 

Shi Lang nodded and looking at the staircase on the side, he rushed up to it quickly. Although he was given permission to enter, he could still feel a subtle restriction on his body. He reached the seventh floor quickly, and found seven shelves placed with a few boxes on them. 

The shelves were labeled with elements. He saw two shelves labeled as Lightning and Soul. He did not know much, and he headed toward the lightning shelf when Raksha's voice sounded in his mind, "Look for Soul, you have the inheritance of the Lightning from that cave. When you reach Immortal General Level, you can look for the complete inheritance, but for now focus on your soul, this can come in handy when faced with those sneaky demons and some retarded humans."
