Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang was surrounded by the blood-colored mist and was fighting against the remnant spirits hidden inside. While he was tackling the enemy, Lady Yao mumbled, “I wonder if he can figure it out.”

The Terran did not know that his actions were being watched by a lot of people. Yao was not the only person paying attention to him. At this moment, inside the Martial Spirit Hall’s council hall, a few figures were sitting around in a circular arrangement. In the center hovered a cluster of small mirrors, which were displaying Shi Lang’s fights and his current actions inside the blood mist.

An old man commented, “He sure has his ways with weapons.”

Another old man spoke in a heavy voice, “He has mastered physical combat to another level as well. His body appears to be as strong as that of an Heavenly Spirit Artifact.”

Many elders nodded, and one old man said, “You all should see him with a sword. I am telling you, when he holds a sword he is a completely different monster.”

An old lady chuckled and said, “Brother Jian, you praise him quite a lot.”

The old man who spoke earlier was the Sword Elder himself. He looked at the old lady and said, “Sister Tamang, he has achieved Sword and Human unity. His skills with the sword are enough to go head to head with a Dao Lord level cultivator. If he was to fight desperately, I am sure he could have killed my fourth disciple.”

The elders were all shocked at this moment. The old man who complimented Shi Lang first said, “No wonder you are no longer trying to convince him to join the Sword Hall.”

Old Man Jian did not hide and nodded as he said, “Brother Mao, I feel like this boy is destined for something more than petty struggle.”

Everyone could not relate with Sword Elder but Yang Bingshan spoke up and said, “We do not have many inner court disciples. However, even the ones I have in the Alchemy Hall, cannot create Tribulation Pills after just one try. The past month, he refined more then ten tribulation level pill cauldrons. Do you understand what that means?”

A fat old man spoke with excitement, “The Martial Spirit Hall is about to get rich by auctioning those pills? Yes, finally some good news.”

Yang Bingshan held his forehead and said, “Fatty Yu, he is not hiding his skills. He showed his technique and passed on his comprehension to me and the four elders. We are now able to refine tribulation pills. Eight out of ten recipes. Did you all think that the Alchemy Hall had incurred heavenly wrath for there to be so many lighting strikes?”

Everyone looked at him in surprise and Yang Bingshan took out a jade bottle and tossed it to the sect master. They all were the people of the same batch. They had no formalities among themselves.

The sect master caught the bottle, opened the jade bottle and passed the pills to everyone with his spiritual energy. He said, “I think it is good to have him here. I would have given him the keys to the core region but the Holy Elder forbids it. You all should use to nurture him sincerely.

Also, Brother Juan, inform your clansmen to declare that your lineage is different from the Juan family of the Verdant Green Holy Land.”

The middle-aged man among the elders raised his brow and asked, “Senior Brother, what is going on?”

The Sect Master replied, “Shi Lang has taken a Dao Oath that he will destroy the Juan Family of the Verdant Green Holy Land. I cannot tell you why, that is his secret to tell.”

The people nodded, and suddenly the muscular old man said, “Oh, he figured out the restrictions in the mist.”

The Sect Master nodded and said, “Lady Yao sure is a strict tutor.”

The people nodded and they looked at the mirror to watch Shi Lang.

…

The Terran was bleeding from his shoulder, after all of his effort, the remnant figure had managed to injure him. Shi Lang took a deep breath and blocked the wound as he took the defensive position. He could now see the claw of the remnant spirit. However, the movement of this entity was so erratic and fast that he could not catch onto it with his sensory ability.

His cold eyes were looking around in the mist trying to perceive the attacks, but then he realized something, there were not multiple enemies, just one. He thought for a bit while moving around and avoiding the attack, there was something that was stopping the remnant spirits from going crazy and slaughter everything in their paths.

In his mind, Raksha spoke, “Lang, let me out. Tribulation is a kid, he cannot take on any more of this energy.”

Shi Lang sighed and replied, “My spear skills are not evolving in the past few days. I cannot handle one of these undying ghosts.”

Raksha replied in a calm tone, “Lang, patience.”

The Terran took out the sword with a simple grab and stabbed his spear onto the ground. He said, “The environment here can nurture the spear.”

Raksha said, “The intent you stored inside will become sharper. You have grown smarter.”

Shi Lang did not comment, he held the hilt in his hand and began to dance. The sword in his hand seemed to have eyes, Raksha and Shi Lang moved in such sync that they did not have to even look. The sword and man united could sense every thing around them.

The Terran defended himself with great efficiency, although not every attack was blocked but he was able to move out of the way. After half an hour of fighting, he was able to sense the slight fluctuation in the killing intent pointed at his body.

Every direction inside the mist was emitting a strong killing intent, and that’s why Shi Lang was having trouble sensing the enemy but now that difference has been adjusted, he channeled his spiritual energy to cover his body, and move around at a faster speed.

His blade emitted sword intent without holding back. He has mastered the level where he could channel and condense the intent to cut easily. The other elements of the intent were were not there yet, but he would not be helpless in a desperate situation. To enhance his skill even further, he began to emit the intent to cut in all the directions his sword moved.

Shi Lang mumbled, “Death Net Of Dancing Cherry Blossom.”

He created a net to cut everything around him with his quick and agile sword. The intent was laced with lightning and it was akin to an intricate sphere of lightning amidst the blood-red mist.

Shi Lang closed his eyes and said, “Raksha, don’t stop after killing one of them.”

The sword spirit rolled her eyes and said, “Shut up and move, I am hungry.”

The man and the sword flashed in all directions and soon the remnant spirit began to wail. The lightning was tearing it inch by inch. Slowly but surely, the spirit was angry and injured. Shi Lang’s lightning was refined by the heavenly tribulations, and also the flame seed inside his Dantian.

The fire seed instilled the elements of purification in the lightning that enabled Shi Lang to slowly weaken and destroy the remnant spirit which had no conscious.

Yao watched him move, and nodded. After five days, Shi Lang was still moving and the remnant spirit vanished with a loud wail. Yao said, “You can come out, you have passed the trial.”

Shi Lang replied, “Can I practice here some more?”

Yao could sense the red eyes staring at her from behind the mist, but she could only nod. Shi Lang was refining the blood mist and his comprehension of slaughter laws was increasing very quickly. Yao said, “You can stay there for as long as you don’t lose your mind. If you did, I will kill you my self and you will become one of the spirits there.”

Shi Lang replied, “Yes, Elder Yao.”

…

Inside the mist, Shi Lang was getting stronger, and his strength was increasing, the euphoria was so strong that his eyes had turned red, and slowly, his skin was getting red as well. However, Raksha was no where full. Her battle hunger was at its peak, and she was getting sharper by absorbing the blood mist around the foot of the mountain.

Shi Lang communicated with her, and said, “This mist is generated from the array, don’t absorb too much, the remnant spirits will go crazy.”

Raksha scoffed and said, “Why? Those old people could stop them.”

Shi Lang shook his head, “This place is meant for training. Don’t act too greedy.”

The sword spirit and the human went back to back with the topic and finally Shi Lang said that he would stuff her back in the space ring and leave the place. Only then did Raksha calmed down.

They fought for four days this time, and managed to kill another Remnant Spirit, just as Shi Lang was about to leave the blood mist, he froze. His eyes looked dazed, he entered the state of enlightenment. Experience exclusive tales on freewebnovel
