Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang had taken out his sword and his face turned calm as he charged at the lady before him. The calm of his thoughts was so indifferent that the Phoenix Avatar was shocked for a moment. She didn’t expect this human before her to have such a strong command on the Dao of Indifference. Shi Lang had climbed all this way after killing countless people and creatures all because he learned this one fact very early in life, that people and creatures all could sense the intent emitted by someone, if you can control your intent, then they would fumble.

That was his skill, and so he was using it. As Shi Lang approached the lady in front of him, he said, “Four Season Swords, Winter Dance.”

He swung his sword and began to slash at the void, his moves transformed into a dance, but the lady knew it was anything but phony. The attacks from Shi Lang blocked all her exits first, then the came toward her, targeting her in the center. This was not all, the cold radiating from the sword energy was so high that the void was filled with snowflakes. Shi Lang literally commanded the five elements at this moment, he had stopped holding back.

Back when he was trying to transform the mix of five elements into organs he had come to understand what it took to change the neutral spiritual energy into the form of five elements. The Terran was simply shaking down the image of humans that has been instilled in the minds of the four beasts at this moment. The cold energy was about to hit the Lady when she said, “Nirvana Flame Wave.”

With her in the center, a wave of flames erupted towards Shi Lang. The two attacks clashed and the energies vanished. Shi Lang took a deep breath and rushed forward, this time he was just five meters away from the lady. The latter took out a spear out of nowhere and stabbed toward Shi Lang. The one inch longer and one inch stronger fact didn’t apply to Shi Lang in this case, he didn’t stop charging ahead, but used his sword to parry the spear to the side and just when he was one meter away from the lady he said, “Shura Slashing The Heavens.”

Raksha emitted a shrill whistle as it vibrated at a high frequency and the sword intent focused on her edge before it lashed out and hit the lady directly in the waist. The whole thing happened too fast, this was how Shi Lang operated, he didn’t give anyone the time to react as soon as he got the leverage. The Phoenix Avatar tried to dodge but she was still too slow, half of her waist was still split in two. She reeled back from the attack and looked at Shi Lang with her eyes wide open. She mumbled, “To think that your intent has reached such levels. I am flattered to have fought you, Human.”

Shi Lang looked at her with a calm gaze and said, “If the test has come to an end, may I pass? Or do you wish to continue?”

The lady smiled and shook her head before she said, “May your ventures succeed.”

That said she vanished in a cloud of flames. Shi Lang didn’t put down his guard, he walked ahead, heading towards the only building in the distance, this place was exactly the same as the temple of five elements that was located back in the human realm, so Shi Lang thought it would not be a problem for him to extract a small portion of the pure essence and leave.

…

Outside the barrier, the Sun archers had retreated, but they could still see the void rippling in the distance. They were aware that they could not do anything in this battle, and while they were lamenting about this fact they were also shocked to see that Shi Lang was able to reach such a level despite being a seeker only. The elders who were present here to guard were all shocked, they looked at each other one by one while sighing and shaking their heads. Nishan looked at them and asked, “Elders, is something the matter?”

The old men shook their heads and one of them said, “The fact that the younger generation would always surpass the older generation, I was not a believer of this phrase, but when I reached my peak and then was unable to move forward I thought that was it, until today, looking at that young human. He is fighting with his life on line, and while his realm is lower than ours his fighting spirit and skills have reached such a level that we could only watch him. Today I finally believe that the younger generation would pass the older generation. We have been blessed to witness such a talented human.”

Nishan smiled and said, “When I met him the first time, he was challenging the Dao Ranking List and he had not yet been a saint. From the bottom of the rank they rose to the top two hundred, just because of the realm limitation. I knew that he was strong, but going toe to toe with the avatars of the Four Holy Beasts, and being chosen by the wise Phoenix as her champion, this was something I didn’t imagine.”

The elders were shocked, they could not believe what they heard. They were sun archers, as the name of their race, they worshiped the Sun, and the Phoenix was the bird that represented the Sun. Shi Lang’s status just rose by a thousand levels and he was unaware of this.

…

While the elders of the race were in awe, Shi Lang was sitting outside the temple of the five elements, meditating. He was consolidating his gains from this battle, and after a few hours, when he woke up, he took out a small jade slip, before tossing it outward to the border. In this barrier communicators didn’t work and neither could anyone probe it, this place was beyond the level of the World Consciousness. The earlier intervention happened right at the border, and this was why the world consciousness could try to push him back.

He shook these thoughts off, or rather the author shook it all off, before he summoned the essences of the four element from the storage, and began to combine them and refine the body of a sun archer man. He had already read the details of the data obtained from the Sun Archers, and it was not hard for him to combine the elements into a formula that created the body of a Sun Archer. While refining Amelia’s body had taken him several months and years of preparation, this time he just spent a few weeks before he finished.

The clouds gathered and then Shi Lang picked up the refined body and moved outside the barrier, the tribulation would be harder and Shi Lang didn’t want that to happen, because he has concealed a little something inside the soul sea space of this vessel. After the tribulation, a wisp of world consciousness would settle inside it, and then Shi Lang would isolate this vessel till the time comes for the final battle.

As soon as he came out of the barrier, the lightning descended on him. Shi Lang snorted and said, “You better not, bitch!”

The bolt seemed to pause and Shi Lang placed the vessel on the ground before retreating to a distance. The lightning descended upon the vessel and it continued to do so for the next fifteen minutes. The people of the sun archer race were shocked, they could not understand what was going on here. First, the young man yelled at the tribulation caused it to pause and then he tossed the vessel to the ground which was then devoured by the lightning however, after the tribulation resided, the people saw a golden light falling on the body on the ground and inhibiting it.

After a few minutes, the body opened its eyes and stood up sluggishly. Shi Lang walked up to the body and said, “You better not try to assume control of it or the vessel will come apart, although I have not failed in refining till now, I will not be doing extra labor.”

The person looked at him and spoke, “You have too much pride.”

Shi Lang scoffed and said, “I don’t need you to preach, now go and stay inside the barrier till the final battle, because if that punk Kal-e detected you, he would definitely fuck you up.”

That said, he cast a seal with his fingers and a mark appeared on the chest of the naked sun archer body. The world consciousness asked, “What is this?”

Shi Lang replied, “Serial number. So that the others could understand you are not a natural born Sun Archer but a toy I created.”

The world consciousness was pissed and it wanted to retaliate against Shi Lang but when had the young man ever given any chance to anyone? He simply pushed the vessel behind the barrier and walked away.
