Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang did not care about anything outside the cave, he sat down in meditation and began to comprehend Dao Laws of slaughter and sword. His killing intent was raging wildly so he decided to use this chance to his advantage. While he was comprehending Dao like a monster, the Martial Spirit hall was embroiled with news of his stand.

…

Elder Jian Hu was sitting next to Elder Qui, outside Shi Lang’s cave. The latter said, “You don’t have to stay here, Senior Brother. I will not harm him.”

Elder Jian Hu, also known as Elder San, shook his head and said, “I am here to save you all from him. You have no idea what this guy is capable of.”

Elder Qui furrowed his brows and said, “Aren’t you exaggerating a bit too much? That guy is the disciple of His Excellency and not his Excellency himself.”

Elder San shook his head and said, “He finished the samsara array within three days. Can you?”

Elder Qui opened her eyes wide and asked in disbelief, “What did you say? Three days. How is that possible?”

Elder San shrugged and replied calmly, “I have no idea, but I witnessed it. There is no way he could have cheated his way through, even the sect master could not let alone this child. However, one thing you should know, he comprehended the unity of man and Dao. His potential is unfathomable. Your rashness could become the sole reason for him to turn away from the sword hall.”

Elder Qui wiped the non existent cold sweat on his face and said, “I am worried about the Hall Master. Yama will be in deep shit right now.”

…

Deacon Yama took a deep breath after he finished talking as he knelt before an old man. The old man looked at Deacon Yama with a cold gaze, his eyes were radiating a sharp aura that could turn anything to shreds. He looked at Deacon Yama and said, “How many times have you been told that your temper would be the dawn of your misfortune?”

Deacon Yama did not reply but kept his head down on the ground. The person before him was the Sword Elder. This guy was the strongest sword practitioner in the Martial Spirit Hall after the sect master. Although his cultivation base was at the peak of the Dao Emperor, his sword cultivation was also very high. Deacon Yama did not dare to say anything before him.

The old man said, “You have disgraced the sword hall, and you will be punished. Since you like to act out so much then go and guard the Luan province. The barbarian bull tribe is acting out a lot there. You will guard that place for a hundred years. If you wish to come back early, you must resolve the conflict.”

Deacon Yama almost pissed his pants because of the aura weighing on his back. He only had one way to live and that was to agree to the punishment. He replied, “Yes, Hall Master, I will leave right away.”

The old man waved his hand and Yama left the sword hall. However, his expression did not turn out well even after punishing the culprit. From the account of the incident, he found that Shi Lang was even stronger than he had expected him to be. It would be even more difficult to recruit him.

He sighed and stood up from his chair. An attending disciple looked at him, awaiting instructions, when the old man said, “I will be staying outside the Sword Hall, if it is something urgent, tell them to find me at the High moon peak.”

The disciple bowed and accepted the command. The old man vanished from his place and a few moments later, he appeared on the peak of High Moon mountain. Elder Qui and Elder San stood up before him and bowed as they said, “Greetings Master.”

Yes, they were the third and the fourth disciples of the Sword Elder. The old man looked at Elder Qui and said, “Why are you so dim witted in the ways of the world? Did you intend to kill him if not for your Senior Brother’s arrival? What did I tell you to do?”

Elder Qui replied, “I apologize master, I thought he was just being rash.”

Sword Elder snorted and caused Elder Qui to kneel on the ground. He said, “Do you think I am a fool? I know your virtue like the back of my hand. You get along well with Yama because you are snobbish and petty like him. As soon as you found out his status you held back. You should be ashamed of yourself.”

Elder Qui did not have any resistance, he knelt and said, “I accept the punishment and will correct myself, Master.”

The Sword Elder said, “Hmph, at least you know this. Go to the central continent, and look for your first brother. Help him out and don’t come back until you have stepped into peak, Dao King realm.”

Elder Qui nodded and agreed to the sentence without as much as a groan. He left the sect quickly too. If Shi Lang was to know that the two elders were transferred because they messed up with him, he would comment that the Sword Hall was either looking out for him or they were desperate.

The Sword Elder sat down on a boulder and Elder San stood beside him. They were gazing at the wide cave entrance behind the restriction array. The latter asked, “Old Man, why are you so eager to recruit this kid? Don’t you know that he is a master of spear too?”

The Sword Elder glared at him and reprimanded, “How dare you talk to me like this?”

Elder San rolled his eyes and said, “Oh, come on, the others aren’t here. If you hadn’t scammed me back then I would have been an archer and a top level one at that. Now, out with it, what do you want?”

The sword elder cleared his throat and said, “He has the potential to reach the Sword Emperor realm. Look at his cultivation and you will understand. Why does he have to walk the path of a spear artist? What benefit is there?”

Elder San looked at the old man and said, “If you could understand that, this child would have been your disciple and not His Excellency’s. Do not push him, if he refuses, walk away, and you might have a chance to be amiable with him.”

The old man stroked his beard and said after some thought, “I will ask him sincerely if he would like to join. As long as he can keep up with the realm progression target, I will not barre his other paths.”

Elder San shook his head and replied, “When he comes out this time, he would have to go to the Alchemy Hall. You probably don’t know, but he is the golden disciple of the Alchemy Hall. He is a tribulation pill refiner.”

The sword elder sucked in a deep breath. He clenched his fists as his eyes turned golden. However, he did not say anything. The two elders stayed there watching the cave, and the disciples did not dare to approach Shi Lang’s cave, because they were scared by Elder San’s cold gaze.

He was not doing anything to gain favor with the Holy Elder, but he wanted to see Shi Lang walk his own path. Elder San came from nothing, He had always been looking out for those like himself. Shi Lang had come this far and now he had such a huge wound in his heart that only hatred and revenge seemed to be his motivation.

However, after he watched everything that Holy Elder showed him while testing the Terran made him realize that Shi Lang was an even bigger person than what he thought of him.

He wanted to see where this young man could reach, Elder San did not want to clear his path completely, but he could still make sure that he avoided the unnecessary skirmish.

Sword Elder looked at his third disciple and sighed, how could he not know what was going through his head? Thinking about this an idea lit up in his old skull. He thought, ‘It may be fate but perhaps Shi Lang could be the straw that can save this drowning disciple of mine and help him rejuvenate his vigor once again.’

One month passed in a blink and the restriction on the cave entrance was taken down by Shi Lang. Elder San smiled and waved his hand, while he said, “This is my master, the Master of the Sword Hall, Huang Jianxian.”

Shi Lang looked at the old man and bowed in greeting, “Disciple Shi Lang greets you, Hall Master. What can I do for you?”

The hall master smiled and asked, “I came here only to ask you if you would like to visit the sword hall and take a tour? If you like to, you can come by to practice your skills and learn from other disciples. It would be helpful in your comprehension.”

Shi Lang was surprised because what the old man said was different from what he thought. However, since he could not call him out, he just thanked him for the opportunity before heading to the square for his monthly duel.
