Ace Of Terrans



Shi Lang gulped when he saw the Peak Master acting with such a temper. He asked, "What is wrong with these two people?" 

Bai Yan beckoned him closer and said, "Peak Master Mei is the strongest in her generation, but Peak Master Cao does not acknowledge this. He says that she is only strong because of her physique. Originally, Peak Master Cao was the strongest in the sect. It was when he was fighting a demon who set his hand on fire that his capabilities dwindled. Thus, the two people have very strong opinions about each other." 

Shi Lang asked curiously, "What physique?" 

Wen Lengxue replied, "Master was born with a seven-orifice sword heart. Her cultivation has reached a standstill because she has been emotionally entangled in how Peak Master Cao treats her. Otherwise, she could have stepped into the realm of an Immortal Emperor." 

Shi Lang was surprised and said, "So this peak battle will play a decisive role in her promotion. If we can manage to defeat the Spear Peak, she might be able to resolve the knot in her heart." 

The rest of the people nodded. Shi Lang said, "Let's go. I have a few ideas about how to deal with the enemy." 

The people exchanged glances and then recalled that Shi Lang was used to leading troops in the lower realm. They nodded, and all of them flew back to the Sword Peak. The entire sect was bustling, and even the cultivators learned about the peak battle and flocked outside the sect to catch a whiff. 

...

Shi Lang sat on the cassock in the courtyard of Wen Lengxue's house, with the rest of the people forming a circle with him. He asked, "Any idea what their special skills or weaknesses are?" 

Liang Ping said, "I am only aware of Tang Hubai. He has a fire-attributed cultivation technique, so his spear follows the same line." 

Bai Yan said, "That Lu guy is off the wind system. I have an experience of dealing with him." 

Following this, everyone shared their insights about the enemy team. Shi Lang nodded and thanked them, and he took notes of all they said and then made the parchment levitate in the void. He said, "We will not resort to facing the enemy we have the most experience with. The enemy will expect this, and they know a bit about us. We cannot allow them to target our obvious weaknesses." 

Wen Lengxue asked, "What is the point of fighting these new people? What if they are someone we cannot keep up with? After all, we are all humans and not invincible." 

Shi Lang nodded and said, "What you said is correct. We are not invincible. That is why we should always pick the fights we will surely win. The targets I have arranged on this piece of paper all have an elemental weakness against you. Just because this is a battle does not mean we should stop using our brains."

The people were taken aback. Many people looked down on this sort of strategy. They were hesitant, and Shi Lang said, "You can fight against the guy who comes across you first. Leave Xia Tian to me. Also, if you all fall into a forced situation, you can use the communication talisman or shoot a condensed bulb of spirit energy in the sky, and I will try to rush over as soon as possible." 

Hu Shan asked, "Are you saying that you will be able to deal with Xia Tian's entanglement and come to help us? Are you not looking down on your opponent a bit too much?" 

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I have no such intentions, Senior Brother. I will only bring my battle over to you people. I am telling you this because sometimes when you meet unexpected support from your ally, your rhythm goes astray." 

Xu Guang asked, "Boy, tell me, how will we approach this battle?" 

He wanted to know the basic strategy of the battle. Shi Lang pondered the question briefly before saying, "There are multiple ways to engage the battle. One is that we all pick one target and face them head-on. Another is that we can disperse in the forest and make them look for us. This will put them in greater mental stress and agitative state. The third is to fight them as a group. Now, you all decide which way you want to pick." 

Bai Yan asked, "Since it is going to be the six of us, we can follow fighting one person each and see if the strategy needs to be adjusted later on." 

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I do not mind that, but one thing is for sure. Just because the second senior sister is not here does not mean they will also hold back. They will be sending out their six strongest people." 

The people nodded, and Liang Ping said, "The second strongest in the Spear Peak is Tang Hubai. I can handle him." 

Shi Lang nodded and said, "If that is what everyone agrees upon. All I would say is not to underestimate your enemy, but at the same time, do not hesitate or be scared of them too. Just fight with no thoughts in your mind." 

The people nodded, and the night darkened. Shi Lang had not slept even briefly in the past few months. He did not need to sleep at his level. After the discussion, he sat on a random boulder and closed his eyes. The patrolling disciples thought that Shi Lang was cultivating, but he was going through the memories of his clones.

They have been on the task for a long time and infiltrated many forces in the central plain. However, they were nowhere near the higher-level people from whom they could gather anything credible.

Though this was not bad, he still had many connections on the ground level. Shi Lang did not need any big force to aid him. On the contrary, he will have all the information he needs to work around them in the future. The most exasperating thing was no word about Amelia. Shi Lang was almost tempted to infiltrate the demonic region but held back. Impatience was the key to destruction.

Shi Lang pondered over the situation for the whole night. It was morning when he opened his eyes, and gazed at the sun rising on the horizon. A few disciples were rushing to the training field when they spotted him. 

Shi Lang was dressed in a red robe shirt, with black armor on his shoulders. His slightly long hair fluttered in the breeze as his skin gave off a bronze sheen under the sunlight. A sword covered with lightning sparks levitated around him. They watched as the terran grabbed the hilt of the sword, and the blade issued a sharp vibration. 

This sound triggered something in their hearts. The group of disciples was sent into a daze. Shi Lang did not stop there; he practiced his sword moves on the lush green field, but his blade always moved around the boulder. He did not seem to be in control of himself. It was he was possessed. 

Someone exclaimed in a low voice, "Senior Brother Shi just had an epiphany. Look at his blade and comprehend this moment. We have lucked out on this." 

As soon as he said this, the people trained their eyes at his valiant figure. It was only after a few minutes when Shi Lang stopped. He did not have an epiphany about his cultivation or his sword intent, he had an epiphany about a sword skill that he had been stuck at. His movements were fluid and his actions were precise. 

While he was thinking about how to locate Amelia, he thought about an idea, he should not be in hurry, things will happen gradually. Shi Lang as he gazed at the blade. He said, "I know you are excited to face them. Do not worry, the time will come. I will let you slay as many demonic bastards as I come across." 

Mei Lingyao appeared at this moment, but she was shocked to see a group of disciples gazing blankly in the directions Shi Lang stood. She was wise enough to understand that these people were all experiencing a state of epiphany. She waved her hand to isolate them with her aura before walking up to Shi Lang. 

She asked doubtfully, "Can you tell me what happened here?" 

Shi Lang shrugged and told her about the development of his state of mind. Mei Lingyao said, "These young ones chanced upon a good opportunity. Anyhow, boy, are you ready?" 

Shi Lang nodded and said, "What about the rest?" 

Mei Lingyao said, "They are all ready, let us go. The venue is the forest at the foot of the formation peak. They have some surprises for you. Also, here keep this communication jade." 

She stuffed a small jade from her hand into Shi Lang's before she gestured for him to follow her. Soon the two teams were gathered at the foot of the formation peak. However, there was something wrong with the atmosphere, the Spear Peak was obviously eager to fight, while the Sword Peak, who had issued the challenge appeared to be at ease. This made Peak Master Cao frown. 

Ling Ye said, "The peak battle will begin in a few minutes. Prepare." 

The Sword Peak team stood calmly with their eyes closed and their hands resting on the hilts of their swords. This was their technique of calming their minds. Tang Hubai commented, "You can be as pretentious as you wish here. However, once you enter the forest, we will show you what your place is." 

The Swordsmen all opened their eyes at the same time, and the calm gazes shocked Tang Hubai. Mei Lingyao snorted and said, "Xiao Lang, go inside the forest. Be careful." 

Shi Lang bowed slightly to her and then moved with his fellow disciples.
