Ace Of Terrans

The people had their minds blown by what Sovereign Kamandala said. He asked Shi Lang to be his master. However, the Terran had a really composed expression on his face. It was not as if he was not shocked, but he regained his composure in a few moments.

Everyone was looking at Shi Lang and thinking what would he do. Yanshu said, ‘I bet he will say yes.’

Lao Xu smiled and asked, ‘What is the wager old man Yanshu? You cannot bet without a stake.’

Yanshu thought and said, ‘One scripture scroll that I found in the god-field? However, the principle gambling states that you must meet the ante.’

Lao Xu nodded calmly and said, ‘That is true, now, I will give you a pill that I found in the ruins of the god-field.’

The people were all surprised and Sovereign Healing Hands asked, ‘What is the effect of that pill?’

Lao Xu replied, ‘It heals injuries on your soul.’

The people were surprised and Amethyst asked, ‘If you had something like this then why did you not offer it to Tian Long?’

Lao Xu shook his head and said, ‘Even if he manages to repair the injuries to his soul, where will he reside without a soul sea? I have two such pills and I am sure that guy also has one on him because he was there with me.’

Everyone understood why Lao Xu held back the pill. Sovereign Healing Hands said, ‘Very well, I will try my luck. I stake a divine pill refinement opportunity. He will say no.’

The two old men were surprised but then they nodded and looked at Amethyst who brushed her hair and said, ‘I am not interested. Lao Xu you did not say what you are staking at.’

Lao Xu smiled and said, ‘I am staking that he will insult them and then accept Kamandala as his disciple.’

…

While the elders were gambling, Yu Xeidi and Hao Mei were holding hands with sparkling eyes. Shi Tao looked at them amusingly and asked, “What are you two little ones thinking?”

Yu Xeidi replied, “Senior Sister, if Master accepts that uncle as his disciple, then we will be senior sisters and when he disagrees with us. We will block his spiritual energy and throw him in Tartarus.”

Amelia was surprised and so were the other ladies. They exchanged glances and erupted in laughter. These kids were thinking of punishing an Immortal Sovereign when they were not even in the Immortal soldier realm. If Kamandala found this, he would have felt so humiliated.

…

Shi Lang looked at the monk bowing to him and shook his head before he said, “I apologize, but I am not skilled enough to accept you as my disciple.”

The monks behind Kamandala were relieved while the person of focus was shocked.

…

Sovereign Healing Hands smiled and said, ‘I win, please leave the ante before you leave.’

Amethyst smiled with her and the faces of the two old men turned gray in regret.

…

Kamandala asked, “What is it that makes you think that you are not as skilled as me? You defeated an Immortal Sovereign stronger than me. You have a thought clarity like none I have ever come across, and you know what a true human is better than me or the rest of the people I have learned from. Why can you not accept me in your tutelage?”

Shi Lang smiled and said, “Senior Kamandala, you just acknowledged a few of your weaknesses on your own. I believe a person who has the candor to accept his own mistakes has the potential to surpass the limits on his own too. You wish to be a better human, then you will have to find out the meaning of humanity. You will have to seek out the humanity hidden deep inside you.

You do not need to be my disciple. Take nature as your master and you will learn the truth.”

Kamandala was surprised to the core. He was at a loss, not because this guy rejected him, but because Shi Lang casually gave him the pointers that made him find a new direction to grow. Kamandala was very well versed in scriptures and the rules of his path. He has never been unreasonable, but even Mandala could not best him in philosophical debates.

However, for the first time, he met someone who not only bested him, but even taught him a way to improve himself. He could not help but be moved by this. He looked at Shi Lang and clasped his fists as he said, “Young Friend, you have shown me what it means by the sky above a sky. I am eternally indebted to you. From now on till the day I exist in this world. You will be my friend.

If you ever need any help from me, as long as it is not against my moral conscience. I will aid you even if it means laying down my life.”

Shi Lang smiled and shook his head, “You glorify me senior. I did nothing but uttered hubris. If your doubts are complete, I would like to leave. I need to spend some time with my wife.”

Kamandala nodded and Shi Lang turned around to leave. He did not know that his casual attitude to handle the situation was simply too shocking for the people. The mortals and the young cultivators in the city all heard what transpired between the two sides. Shi Lang did not even need the support from the martial council to subdue the people from the House of Lotus.

Shi Lang had only turned around when a few old men dressed in elegant robes appeared on the other side. They all had an indignant expression on their faces. The leader said, “I am Wang Qian, patriarch of the Wang Family. In the past few days, many of my family members have been hunted down by the organization of cowards headed by you. I wonder how would you explain it to me.”

Shi Lang placed his hands behind his back and nodded slowly before he said, “I have only one explanation for you, and that is, fuck you.”

The people were stunned but Shi Lang continued, “Do you think that just because you have a number of sovereigns that will scare me?”

Wang Qian took a deep breath and asked, “Do you think you will be able to stand up to us? Even with that trick of yours, you will not be able to stand up to against all of us.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “How many people you have?”

Wang Qian smirked and replied, “We have ten people, do you think you will be able to sacrifice your Dao Laws again?”

Shi Lang smiled and replied, “I have ninety three Immortal Kings in my group, the Asura Hall. They are all able to sacrifice Dao Laws. Forget about me taking you down, I can command them to go and raze your Wang family to the ground. Leaving behind nothing. I will make sure that even the Dogs of your house are chopped up and left in the streets.

If you are ready to stake that much, please by all means come over.”

Wang Qian was shocked, he did not expect Shi Lang to be so cruel. He clenched his fist and said, “How dare you bluff?! Do you think we will be scared of you?”

Shi Lang smiled and said, “I am bluffing? Do you think I am as lenient as the Martial council? I do not know what these people were thinking when they let a snake like you live in the human domain. You bastards have been stirring up trouble over and over again. Do you think if the Demons managed to rise to power they will spare you dimwitted bunch of cock sucking parasites?”

…

Amelia sighed and said, “He has gotten so creative with his cussing skills.”

Shi Tao chuckled and said, “Bad thing to praise him you lover girl.”

…

Wang Qian was shivering in rage and Shi Lang said, “In this world, whenever something or someone unique appears people like you mark them as demons. Why do you do so? So that you can regain your dominance over the people. You are the cowards that feed at the bottom of the well and make the other people think you are strong and that is why you are hiding in the dark.

Listen hear, you coward. Take the bunch of your clowns, and go back to dance for your own sake. If you messed with me, I will have your head inside my toilet and serve as pee bowl. Understood? I am advising you in good faith. I hope you know what is good for you.”

Wang Qian was enraged, he channeled his spiritual throughout his body and Shi Lang raised his brow. He turned to look at Kamandala and said, “Now do you see why I did what I did? People like this, who are driven mad with their own intentions in mind are incapable of thinking for humanity. He is here to kill me, now if I have to kill him, don’t blame me.”

That said, he closed his eyes and his hair color began to change. However, before he could do anything. Kamandala said, “What you said is true. Patriarch Wang, I hope you reconsider your actions. Otherwise, the House Of Lotus will list you as an enemy. I think you should know what happens when someone becomes enemy with us.”

Shi Lang thought, ‘Display of good faith can really make the world go around.’
