Ace Of Terrans

Inside the spirit storm Shi Lang was moving along with the direction of the spiritual energy. His speed was quick and his steps were fine, but his body was getting sliced every few bits. Shi Lang was covered in lightning sparks, but it was not complete. Lightning sparkled over his body, but there were gaps and the spiritual energy passed through those gaps and left cuts.

Shi Lang controlled his body, and made sure that no blood seeped out of the vessels. However, the scars had turned him into a red man. Every inch of his body was covered with a red tint from the cut.

The Terran took a deep breath and closed his eyes as he ran forward. He had crossed five layers and did not know how many more layers lay ahead of him. If he wanted to get ahead, he would need to comprehend the essence of this storm.

Shi Lang could consume as much spiritual energy from the storm as he wished, and replenish his reserves while running. The trouble was the change in the barriers. The four layers, with each having a different pace, and opposite directions, it almost killed him to cross through. He could not go any further without risking death or serious injury.

Outside the spirit storm, Lou Shin and Lao Yuesha were watching the scene with great focus. They could see the lightning flash but it did not go any deeper. It was the second day, and Shi Lang was running at the same position. Many experts who were watching this were confused.

They had no idea what was going on, and one of the experts who belonged to the martial spirit hall, came over to their side. The person asked, “Instructor Lou, what do you think is going on in there. Why is he not moving deeper?”

His tone was calm, but his eyes were filled with anxiety which made Lao Yuesha look at him with surprise. The man sighed, “Please, don’t get me wrong, we have been guarding this place for several centuries, but have never been able to get even a tenth closer to the storm as that kid has. We all hope for him to find a way to get in and bring back the remains of our people. That’s why, I am anxious.”

Lao Yuesha sighed and said, “Senior, you all should understand how difficult it is to even get as close as he is at the moment. I am sure that if not for the fact that he is facing some trouble, he would have gone forward very quickly. Give him some time, you all have waited for such a long time, what’s wrong a few more days.”

The man caught a hint and asked, “What do you mean by days?”

He was curious, and Lou Shin sighed as she said, “Elder, he is a kid participating in the selection process, he got a red scroll for his primary task, so I hope you understand, that if he could not finish the task by a month, then even if he keeps running for ages and eons, it won’t make a difference.”

The old man was shocked. He did not expect such a thing. His eyes widened as he looked in the direction of the spirit storm. He mumbled, “I never believed in gods, but if he manages to get through and bring back the remains, he will be my god, and I will fight the sect for his recruitment.”

The two ladies were slightly taken aback by the sentiment of this old sir, but it was something they understood. They have been guarding this place because they were all waiting and trying to get in and bring back their fallen comrades or juniors.

…

Shi Lang was running blindly, he was pondering over the essence of spiritual energy and the meaning hidden behind it. He was thinking very quickly, much faster than he was running for sure. He did not know how many days it has been outside, all that remained in his mind was the thought to find the meaning behind the spiritual energy.

Although this energy was all healing and it was wonderous, but the same energy can cause devastation beyond imaginations. Changing landscapes was a small thing, some older experts could even change the climate on their whim. Shi Lang ran, and he ran, if he was running in a straight line, he would have covered the federation many times by now.

Suddenly, Shi Lang thought, ‘The spiritual energy is the source of all being. It is a way to perceive the Dao. Dao is a path of life that leads one to transcend the shackles set upon them by the heaves.

We walk the path that passes through us, we need spiritual energy and the energy is what we are made up off.’

His thoughts became obscure, but as he thought more, the ideas streamlined. He was lost in comprehension so he did not noticed the change around him. The cuts on his body had become less, and his body was even healing slowly.

His mind was exploring the idea at a fast pace, and his aura was changing at a rate that would shock even the strongest of the experts in the world.

…

Outside the spirit storm, Lao Yuesha and Lou Shin had been standing the entire time. They were more nervous then anyone. Lao Yuesha was worried about her student, while the latter was worried that the first invigilating task will fail.

Everyone in the world was driven by their own benefits and that was the truth. Lao Yuesha suddenly hummed, and Lou Shin noticed the subtle change too. The old man beside them smiled and said, “Finally, there is movement.”

They noticed the change in the spirit storm, Shi Lang’s lightning was moving deeper, and deeper. It was slow but it was sure. The old man said, “It is the seventh day, and finally he has move…”

His words had not yet finished, when they saw the lightning figure come to a stand still. The people were shocked, and Lao Yuesha clenched her fist. However, the expected outcome did not come true. They all thought that Shi Lang would be shredded apart but that did not happen. freёwebnovel.com

Instead, they saw Shi Lang slowly moving deeper and deeper through the storm with a steady pace. Until he looked only as big as a sesame seed, they could see his lightning.

The old man was excited to the point where his face was flushed with blood. He yelled, “He got in. He got through the spirit storm. HAHAHAHA, God bless my Martial Spirit Hall.”

Lou Shin asked, “Senior, how can you be so sure that he managed to get through the spirit storm.”

The old man chuckled, and said, “Instructor Lou, the spirit storm started before our eyes and expanded, back in the day. We know how far the actual abyss lies. That is why I know that he has reached the eye of the storm.”

Instructor Lou began to converse and record the situation. While Lao Yuesha sighed and let go of her fist. She was astounded by what Shi Lang managed to do, and at the same time, she was relieved that he was safe.

…

While the people outside were celebrating his break through, Shi Lang was absorbing spiritual energy like a black hole. His body healed quickly and the red marks vanished. After a few hours when he opened his eyes, his aura had changed. Shi Lang had understood something that not many people could, the Dao Flower in his Dantian was now two feet and ten inches big.

He looked around and found himself standing in a desolate plain. The ground was made of solid dark rock, and every bit of spiritual energy was being sucked away. However, it did not effect Shi Lang much.

He took out his space ring from the spiritual tattoo and put on a black robe. Then he sensed the place, and found the remains that were being mentioned in the scroll. Thousands of people and creatures were laying at the bottom of the abyss. It was a deep and narrow fissure in the ground that stretched over hundreds of kilometers. It gave off very eerie vibe, but Shi Lang couldn’t back off now.

He took out his space ring, and checked the time. He heaved a sigh of relief when he found that he has twenty days left to finish his task.

Two make sure that he is not caught off guard, he put on his battle suit, took out his spear and fixed it behind his back and his sword hung on his waist. Raksha said, “Kid, you sure have a sense of adventure, I swear this place does not allow me much power.”

Shi Lang mumbled, “Let’s hope that we don’t need your power for anything.”

He sent out probes and found that nothing was out of the ordinary in this place. Thinking about this, he dived into the fissure, and his battle suit illuminated the surroundings. He counted the seconds it took him to reach the ground, a complete minute, and this place was filled with restrictions. One wrong move and the fissure will erupt with some kind of explosion.

Shi Lang found thousands of spiritual array traps on the walls, he could estimate the dread of the situation those people who came here to fight must have felt.
