Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang finished the rest of the day and the students all followed him to his house on the metro service. They were surprised to see their almighty teacher traveling in humble public transport. Although his security will not be compromised, still he was the strongest general in the federal military.

This trip surprised them and at the same time inspired them. Shi Lang did not talk much to them during the ride. Soon, they reached their stop and followed Shi Lang in two neat queues. The young man bought the children to his home and invited them in.

The students were surprised and hesitant, after all, this was a place where not many people have been, the house of the federal star. Shi Lang, however, did not give them a chance and called his mom to teach these kids how to be obedient.

Luna thought these kids were all military people and was not sure how to convince these guys when Shi John noticed the school uniforms on the children and asked, “Are you all Lang’s students?”

Theseus, who was standing at the helm of the group nodded, and Shi John beckoned them all inside as he said, “Shall I have my son call your parents and talk to them?”

This sentence scared the entire class as they all climbed the steps and came to the living room. She said, “Lang must have gone to check up on Tao. You all take a seat, I will get you some tea.”

Shi Lang had indeed gone inside the house to check on the little girl to see if she was ready for dinner. He came to the room and found the door ajar. Tao was swaying her legs as she sat on the bed amusingly. She sensed Shi Lang’s approach and looked up at him. The little girl was dressed in a white turtle neck and blue jeans. Her tiny figure looked very adorable. Shi Lang asked in a soft voice, “Ready?”

Tao nodded and got down from the bed and came to his side. Shi Lang asked, “Where are your shoes?”

The girl scratched her head and went back inside the room and put on a pair of soft white bellies. Shi Lang smiled as he held her hand and led her outside. The students were all sitting with their backs straight when Shi Lang walked over with a little girl beside him. They were all surprised by this display. Theseus opened his eyes wide and asked, “Teacher this?”

Shi Lang waved his hand and they all calmed down, while the little girl hid behind his legs. She has gone out to the city but this big group was too much for her at home. Luna came over and said, “Oh, you all scared my doll.”

Tao ran over to Luna, this elder lady has been very kind to her and she has become slightly dependent on her as well. Luna took the little girl in her embrace and said, “These are all big brothers and sisters. Do not be afraid, if they bully you tell me or Lang. Okay?”

Tao nodded but she did not let go of the hug. Luna patted her head and said, “Now go, it is getting late. I will be here when you come back.”

After a few minutes of coaxing, Tao let go and the group left the house. Tonight was the first time the little girl walked around and rode public transport. She was very amused by this new thing she saw. Shi Lang patiently explained everything to her when she pointed. The class was still surprised at the existence of this child.

They did not know that the young general also had a daughter. Yes, they took her for his daughter and Shi Lang was aware of it but he was not going to explain anything to them. The people were all very curious about this and they were even making assumptions like she was born during his school years and that was why he was suddenly married to Amelia.

If Shi Lang knew this he might throw these guys inside the training halls of Tartarus. Soon they reached the venue, Mila’s cafe, and the meal began. Shi Lang had booked the place for the evening and when Mila found that Tao was going to be there, she even wavered the bill. The food was served and people began to eat.

Shi Lang watched the scene, he did not go and put up any mature scene like toast and speeches. He simply allowed them to be at ease. Meanwhile, he focused on feeding Tao with good nutritional value stuff. When the meal, was almost over and the people were waiting for dessert to be served. Shi Lang said, “You all must be thinking why did I call you out for a meal to celebrate when the mood is so dull, right?”

Theseus nodded on behalf of the whole class, Shi Lang smiled and said, “You all must have heard that there is a mountain above the mountain, a sky above the sky, right?”

The students nodded in confusion, and Shi Lang continued, “It is not a saying made out of nothing but a truth that people do not believe in.”

Vanessa was surprised and asked, “Sir, do you mean to say that there is a sky above our sky?”

Shi Lang chuckled and shook his head as he said, “What I mean to say is that there lies another realm, where peace is when you have enough strength. Where one can live for an eternity, looking for the profound truth of life and surpass the time itself.”

The students were surprised and Shi Lang was aware that they do not believe what he said just now, so he continued, “You all must know about spirit energy that was discovered recently?”

The students nodded and Shi Lang said, “This source of energy is better than the gene-enhancing serums. The reason is that this energy is natural. It can enhance your strength a lot as well. A lot of experts state that this energy is endless and not scarce. Thus they have not yet manipulated the cultivation front.

Another reason is that they know how important it is to cultivate to strive in the space age. However, I can tell you one thing as the first person to experience the spirit energy, this energy is not endless. It may last for a few hundred thousand years before it decreases, and gradually the world will be left without spirit energy. That will be the time when talent and hard work will become useless.”

He was stating a fact but with some alteration. The time of decline that he mentioned was too small. The spiritual age will last for millions of years. However, none of the people knew this so he was manipulating the fact.

Theseus asked, “Teacher why are you telling us about these things?”

Shi Lang sighed and said, “I am telling you this earlier so that you can grasp this opportunity. At this time, the talent of the people has not yet been awakened. For example, there are special physiques that can get stronger twice with half the effort. A person like that can crush someone the same level of strength as they are with ease and even can rise to fight and win over a stronger enemy as well.”

The class was surprised but then they also understood that the talented grow faster than the mediocre ones. Theseus asked, “So if we delayed our progress or played ignorant towards this spiritual energy front, we will be left behind when the talented ones appear?”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Not only that but there will be people who nurture such talented people and ride on their coattails to the peak of success. These talented people will be controlled by other forces. What I want to say is that you can avoid manipulation only when you are strong enough. Do not push yourself over the edge madly but patiently work harder.”

Vanessa asked, “Sir, you mentioned a realm of strength and immortality, what do the two things have to do with each other?”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “The realm of strength and immortality can be accessed only by reaching the peak of spiritual cultivation in this world of mortals. You should have seen me flying that day?”

The class nodded, how can they forget something like that? Shi Lang said, “That is what spirit cultivation allows you to do. As you get further in the path of cultivation, the harder it becomes and more dangerous it becomes. You will have to face a heavenly tribulation in order to cross the realms.”

Quo Lina asked, “Sir, can we travel between realms?”

Shi Lang shook his head, “Not until you reach the peak of strength in that realm, and can bend the rules of the heavens. I want to ask you, do you want to grow strong enough to stand at the peak of this world and then step into the other world to fulfill the purpose of a cultivator?”

The class all exchanged glances and Theseus said, “We do.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Then get ready.”
