Ace Of Terrans

The two girls cooperated to get the fruit from the top of the tree. Shi Lang watched as Hao Mei lifted Yu Xiedi with her palms. The latter hung from the tree branch and pulled up Hao Mei. 

Yu Xiedi might be the younger one, but she was stronger regarding physical prowess. Shi Lang nodded and watched them carefully reach the tree’s crown. Yu Xiedi was the first to pick a fruit, but she handed it to Hao Mei. It just so happened that the elder one had also picked up a fruit from her side of the crown and turned to give it to Yu Xiedi. 

The two girls smiled and climbed down the tree as they had climbed it. The girls came up to Shi Lang and extended their hands. The terran said, “Eat it. I have consumed it once in the past. One person can only have this fruit once in their life. Eating any more will be a waste of time.” 

Yu Xiedi and Hao Mei nodded. They did not doubt his words. In their eyes, Shi Lang was omnipotent. This was especially the case with Yu Xiedi. Hao Mei was just out of her remote town, and she did not know that the people in the city palace were all stronger or equal to Shi Lang regarding the cultivation realm. However, her master did not fear her grandfather. He would express an opinion and stick to it. 

Shi Lang was not afraid of anyone; he would not offend the seniors, but as long as they did not tarnish his dignity, that is. The two girls ate the fruit quickly, and Shi Lang said, “Sit down. I will aid you in cleansing the bodies and refining the fruit’s spiritual energy to enhance your power.” 

The two nodded and sat on the ground in a lotus position. They both sensed that the body was brimming with a warm current. Shi Lang placed his hands on their forehead and began monitoring the spiritual energy flow in their bodies. He ensured the energy did not leak out or enter the wrong path. 

While helping them refine their energy, he also taught Hao Mei his skills. The spiritual was being circulated following the route of the Shura Sutra. Shi Lang was very careful in the process because the meridians of the girls were not strong enough to handle a fast and rigorous flow of energy.

Shi Lang kept on his task and sensed the impurities in the bodies of the two disciples were beginning to surface. The demon bane tree not only increased the physical strength but also cleansed the consumer’s body. After a couple of hours, the two girls could not absorb any more residual energy from consuming the fruit. 

Shi Lang cast a spiritual seal on the energy inside their bodies. This seal had a tiny leak for the girls to keep on absorbing the leaking energy. This will ensure that they continue to grow stronger in the future. The terran took his hands back and waited for the two to wake up. 

They had been cultivating these past hours and eventually entered the deeper cultivation state. It would do more harm than good if he were to wake them up forcefully. 

Shi Lang waved his hand, and all the impurities on the surface of their bodies were removed. He sat silently, waiting for them to wake up. After a few minutes, the girls woke up, and Shi Lang noticed the obvious improvements in their strengths. He asked, “How do you both feel?” 

They told him about the changes, and Shi Lang took them to the palace’s main hall. This place was empty and could be used as a training ring for the children. The terran created blood clones and adjusted them to match the stature and builds of the young ladies. 

He said, “I have imparted you both with battle skills. You will be fighting these clones. You are nowhere close to beating them, so I would let you take an hour of the break for every ten minutes you manage to dodge their attacks.” 

The girls were surprised, but Shi Lang snapped his fingers before they could say anything, and the clones began to attack. The girls were left with no option but to dodge the attacks desperately. Shi Lang was trying them like he would treat any soldier. 

The ethereal figures of the Immortal Gods were also watching everything inside the palace. They were stunned but nodded in approval. Shi Lang was not in the wrong to train the children like this. At this moment, they were all gathered inside a room that belonged to Fairy Nector. 

Fairy Nector was sitting in the center, and the scene from the main hall was playing in her mind. The others were also watching the girls train. Edler Yin said, “I did not expect him to be so cruel, but this is also necessary. He intends to raise these girls into Immortal Sovereigns. What do you think?” 

The question was aimed at Fairy Nector, who nodded and said, “As an alchemist, the person must be disciplined and patient. The training is instilling just that in their being. He is indeed a remarkable youth.”

lightsΝοvel The people nodded, and after a bit, Fairy Nector said, “I am ready to pass down the skills and knowledge I have to this girl, Hao Mei.” 

The people nodded, and suddenly, the room’s atmosphere turned silent. They all knew what happened to the souls that had finished passing down their skills to a younger generation. The soul remnant was left behind to select a worthy descendant, and then the soul would vanish. 

Although the spiritual energy in the palace allowed them greater freedom to move around and stay stable, it would not last forever. Fairy Nector sensed the grief and said, “Are you people not making a big deal out of it? We are remnants. Unless we go through the cycle of samsara, we might never be able to be reborn. We should be thankful that Xiao Lang found the palace and is helping us so much.”

The people nodded, and Elder Yin said, “Alright since Sister Nector has decided on her successor, we should leave. It is time she completes her task.” 

The figures bade farewell to Fairy Nector, and this was probably the last time they could see each other. Although remnants, they still had their emotions intact. 

…

Shi Lang was informed by an elder phantom that the Fairy Nector was calling for Hao Mei. The terran was surprised that it was going to be this soon. However, he could not delay this process. This was a heaven-sent chance for Hao Mei, and he would support her completely. 

Shi Lang manipulated his clone to stop moving. He did not stop the one fighting with Yu Xiedi but Han Mei. The girl looked at him in confusion, and he said, “Xiao Mei, go and wander around in the palace. Someone is waiting for you.” 

Those were the rules one needed to locate one’s destiny. The girl asked, “Master, what do you mean?” 

Shi Lang smiled and replied, “This palace is a place where people get a chance to inherit the mettle of a very strong senior. It is time you find your inheritance.” 

Hao Mei was surprised and wanted to ask something.

But Shi Lang said, “Little one, do not worry. Your brother and sister will also find a similar chance when the time is right. They are a bit too weak at the moment.”

The girl nodded, and then, after a bow, she left the main hall to wander around the palace. The seniors had set up traps to test the seekers’ potential. However, the elders selected Hao Mei and Yu Xiedi, so they did not need to pass any tests. 

Shi Lang watched the little girl walk out of the room cautiously with a smile on his face. Hao Mei was a very gentle soul. The path of alchemy was the best way for her. This was his intention when he brought her to the inheritance palace. Yu Xiedi had seen the darkness from the closest seat and had been surrounded by it for most of her life. 

The path of an asura was suitable for her and not for Hao Mei. As for Hao Ren, Shi Lang did not take him in because he was not a chivalrous knight in shining armor who fought to uphold values. He was an opportunist who did not mind bowing to the stronger party to avoid trouble and would kill someone most cruelly if he were to make a move. 

He could not teach the kid his ways and limit his future. Hao Ren had an upright personality. He selfishly took in Hao Mei because the girl was determined to change her brother’s fate with her effort. He needed someone like this to back the Asura Hall. He would not let her suffer, but her support was necessary for the future stability of his forces.
