Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang told everyone to look at Xu Guang’s body. The people changed their focus and were shocked to see what was happening. They were experts, and it did not take long to notice that even Xu Guang was not using his full strength. 

Liang Ping smiled, “Senior Brother is hiding well.” 

The people smiled faintly. Xu Guang was not using his body to generate force in his attacks. He was using his wrists. The Hanfu covered his body, so the people thought he was using his back muscles to generate force just because he was moving around. 

On the other hand, Yan Zhili was getting more confident with the exchange of blows. He thought his dual-blade style was overpowering Xu Guang. After several clashes, Yan Zhili opened the distance between them and said, “Xu Guang, how about you call it quits? You have not been gaining any leads now. What is the point?” 

Xu Guang smiled and said, “I would have taken a lot more time, but since you are in such a hurry, why don’t I let you go off.” 

Yan Zhili sneered and replied, “You think only you are holding back? Come, let us decide who is better now.” 

Xu Guang nodded and held his sword closer to his body. Then the two people vanished. Yan Zhili slashed with his swords generating a phantom dragon made of fire. However, the phantom was not profound. 

One of the spectators exclaimed, “This is the double dragon technique.” 

Someone next to him asked, “What do you mean?” 

The person replied, “One dragon is in the front, and another will follow it. I have never seen this technique in person, but I can tell it is very tricky.” 

Xu Guang watched the approaching phantom and said, “I shall show you something too.” 

He flicked his blade and said, “Vortex of death.” 

Then he vanished from his spot, and people could only see his figure flickering around the stage as the wind gushed over to the center of the arena. Yan Zhili did not care. As long as he can execute his move first, he will win. The rest he did not care about. 

However, after ten seconds, Xu Guang’s voice sounded, “Vortex Lock.” 

He appeared before Yan Zhili, slashing with his sword swiftly. The wind he had attracted formed a vortex and surrounded the fire dragon.

Hu Shan leaned forward and said, “This is not simple.” 

Shi Lang nodded, and Miao Jing said, “The second dragon is invisible.” 

Bai Yan suddenly said, “Look, the vortex split in two.” 

Shi Lang was surprised and turned his head slightly. He found that the double dragon was not the second dragon but the tail of the dragon that had a dragon head. This technique was purposefully meant to look half-prepared. 

The terran understood that the tricks were not simple. The second dragon head did not stop from the binds of the vortex. It moved closer to Xu Guang. However, his sword was already placed at Yan Zhili’s nape. 

The man from the sword peak said, “Yan Zhili, give up.” 

The crowd from the Dragon Sword Sect was surprised. They did not expect something like this. The young man saw through the special trick of the Dragon Sword Sect. 

Yan Zhili was not satisfied with this result but could not do anything against it. Xu Guang would not give him any chance to show the spare tricks he had up his sleeve. The young man clenched his fists and said, “I concede.” 

The Deacon stepped forward and announced, “Xu Guang wins!” 

The crowd cheered, this was the Spirit Heart Sect, and the Sword Peak disciples had a home-ground advantage. 

Shi Lang nodded, and the Deacon said, “Xu Guang, you can replenish your spirit energy for fifteen minutes. Snow Maiden Sect, please select your contestant.” 

A young lady stood up from the crowd and said, “I will be sparing with Daoist Xu.” 

The lady wore a plain white robe with a blue lotus embroidered on the shoulders. She held a zigzag-designed sword at her waist. 

…

The elders in the special box looked at the sword and could not help but exclaim. Peak Master Mei Lingyao asked, “That is a Cumin sword.” 

The grand elder of the Snow Maiden Sect remarked, “You have a sharp vision, Xiao Mei.” 

Mei Lingyao replied, “Thank you for the praise, Senior. Your sect gained a good talent, I presume.” 

Yue Shi nodded and said, “Indeed, this child has been very good with the sword. If possible, I would like to send her here to study and learn from you for some time. In return, you can send one of your disciples to the Snow Maiden Peak. I will teach them personally.” 

Mei Lingyao was surprised and bowed as she expressed her gratitude. 

…

Shi Lang asked, “That is a unique sword design. If you say that she comes from the lineage of an Immortal Sovereign, then she must have an inheritance, and thus she would be a tough opponent.” 

The rest of the people nodded, and Shi Lang silently scattered the nanobots on his communicator to record the battle. He did not wish to miss such a chance to learn.  𝒐𝐕𝗅xt.𝑪𝗈𝑚

…

While Shi Lang was busy recording and speculating the fight, Xu Guang finished restoring his spirit energy and stood up to greet the lady before him. He nodded and said, “Greetings, fellow Daoist. Thank you for your advice.” 

The lady nodded and reciprocated the gesture. She told her name to be Lily Cumin. The two people began to fight. Wen Lengxue had mentioned to Shi Lang that the curving blade would show its impact immediately. Xu Guang’s sword was repelled, but the direction of the repulsion was not under his control. 

Shi Lang watched the scene and said, “This blade is interesting.” 

The people nodded and watched the battle unfold.

…

Xu Guang managed to reach a sudden attack, but the moment his sword was deflected and the opponent’s weapon grazed his shoulder. The young lady did not wish Xu Guang had time to defend himself. 

However, Xu Guang was not that easy to settle. After ten minutes, he was still defending. But this time, his body was covered with cuts and bleeding slowly. The difference between his opponent was that the lady was panting, and Xu Guang stood with his back straight. 

He was calm and composed. The lady asked, “Why do you persist?” 

Xu Guang replied, “My sword represents persistence.” 

He raised his sword for everyone to see and found the blade edge filled with chinks. Yet, with such a sword, he could fight like this. The people had to acknowledge his uniqueness and genius. 

Lily Cumins sighed and then said, “I concede.” 

The Deacon came forward and made an announcement. 

Xu Guang and Lily Cumin went to their respective seats. The young man took a healing pill, and he practiced in peace. His world was done. The battles continued, and from the twelve fights, Spirit Heart Sect managed to secure four points, Snow Maiden Peak had three points, and Dragon Sword Sect had Five. 

To win, the Spirit Heart Sect needed two points, and the only person who had yet to fight was Shi Lang. The seniors had been injured with wounds of varying degrees. The young man did not hesitate, but he was not overconfident either. 

Wen Lengxue asked, “Junior Brother, do you want me to fight in your stead?” 

Shi Lang shook his head with a smile and said, “I was wondering if I fought with a bamboo sword would the people think of me as overconfident.” 

The young man surprised everyone, and the Deacon said, “Disciple Hu, send the final candidate.” 

Hu Shan said, “Shi Lang, go.” 

The entire crowd was in uproar. They were all aware that the young man had defeated Wen Lengxue. However, he was being sent to a stage like this. They were taken by surprise. 

Maio Jing said, “Junior Brother, the rewards will be very useful to you.” 

Shi Lang smiled at this and said, “Senior Sister, can you stop teasing me? Shaking my dao heart will not do us any good.” 

…

Shi Lang walked up to the stage and found a young man from the Dragon Sword Sect coming up. The crowd fell silent because Shi Lang recognized this guy. He was the leader of the Dragon Sword delegation. 

The person clasped his fists and greeted Shi Lang. The Terran returned the gesture and said, “Thank you for your advice.” 

The Deacon said, “Begin.” 

The two people did not move and observed each other. Suddenly, Xia Lingtai stood up and said, “Senior Brother Bo, defeat him.” 

The rest of his fellows followed. The cheering made the Sword Peak Disciples agitated, too, and Hu Shan said, “Shi Lang, do not hold back.” 

The terran smiled and said, “Senior Brother Bo, pardon the offense. I have yet to find a suitable sword, so please allow me to use this bamboo sword.” 

He took out a wooden sword from the space ring and shocked the entire arena.
