Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang was among the first people who went inside the portal, the rest of the people were surprised by his quick reaction and they hurriedly followed him.

Lao Yuesha remarked, “I have never seen him react this quickly before until it was a life crisis.”

Elder San nodded and said, “Even while fighting those brats at home, he has always been calm, but I think that his meeting with his master stoked a fire inside his heart. Let’s hope he can hold the expectations.”

The lady nodded as they watched the disciples go through the portal.

…

Shi Lang entered the portal and he began to sense the energy fluctuations through his body. After a few moments of hard squeezing, Shi Lang found himself standing in a clearing. He looked around and took out his void cloak.

The first move was to cover himself with the cloak and to vanish from the spiritual senses of the people. He was unaware if the other forces have come prepared with the means to erase their spiritual presence.

However, the Terran had something that the other people did not, the technology. Shi Lang knelt on one knee and took out his communicator to look at the position of the nano probes he hid in the cloaks. This was his method of finding the people, and also to map the region as much as he could.

He found forty-one red dots blinking on the hologram. He spread his sensory ability around the place and then placed the dots map he came up with. He found that expect for just one person he could not sense all of them within his reach, which meant this place was very big.

His ability allowed him to sense a lot of herbs hidden in the region and he mumbled, “Earth Region.”

Shi Lang moved quickly through the region, heading straight to the person he sensed on his map. On the way he found many herbs but did not try to obtain them. It wasn’t because he could not, but because these herbs were not precious enough in his eyes. Even if he managed to obtain them, the pills he would refine would not make much of a difference.

The Terran was a person who preferred quality over quantity.

He sensed a few people engaged in battles with the guardian beasts. Shi Lang launched a few nano probes to tag these people. If they came within his attack and movement range later on, he would take them on.

After half an hour, Shi Lang frowned as he moved ahead. There were a bunch of people who were probing a cave entrance. This was the earth region and there were many such caves and mountains. Shi Lang looked at five people before him and found they all wore a common insignia.

In the sect he had read about these symbols. These people belonged to the three houses. Shi Lang spat a drop of blood which turned into a clone of his. The clone then transformed into a tiger. Shi Lang had been studying beast taming, and for that he was learning the bone structure and function of the beasts, so his understanding of them had increased and now, he could create clones of the beasts.

It was a notorious technique, but it would save him a lot of trouble. Shi Lang was strong, but he was not a fool to fight against five people all one realm stronger than him. He was invincible just to say, it was not that he would not lose ever, often it was arrogance and over confidence that caused the people to fall.

…

The five people were all young men and they carried high quality weapons, suddenly, they heard a growling sounded coming from behind them and reacted to it. One of them exclaimed, “Cloud Panther!”

Another guy said, “Could this cavern be its hide out? It will be troublesome if we entered the cave without dealing with the beast.”

Cloud Panther were known to be defensive of their nesting places. If someone tried to barge in forcefully the beast would go berserk. This was the reason why Shi Lang created a clone like this. After a few moments, a calm young man said, “You four should fight the beast, I will enter the cave.

Do not worry, we have all taken the oath to not covet anything, but one of us needs to stay here in order to defend the cavern.”

The four of them exchanged glances and then they nodded, and charged at the spirit beast. Shi Lang sneered at this, and after the four people left, he created another clone and let it rush toward the cavern. The young man was surprised for a moment before he regained his composure and they exchanged fists.

Shi Lang’s clone was not a meager imitation, this drop of blood contained the essence of Shura technique and could perform decently as a decoy. Shi Lang watched the two figures exchanging blows and suddenly the clone asked, “Which house are you from?”

The young man was wearing a black silk robe and was smiling with a mocking expression, he replied proudly, “House Otto. Why, do you wish to negotiate a deal?”

The clone nodded, but the next second it smirked and said, “I want to negotiate a deal of death with you, punk.”

The real Shi Lang appeared behind the young man and drove his spear through the back of his head. His attack was made without any intention flashing in his eyes, and the weapon was so strong that the body of an unprepared cultivator would cut if they came in contact.

Shi Lang had timed the release of his pierce intent when the tip of the spear was in contact with the hair of his enemy. One swift stab from the back and the death became a reality for the young man.

Shi Lang then stored the body in a spare space ring, before he discharged lightning in a certain direction to kill the evading Immortal Soul of the youth that fell under his hands.

The clone then turned into the figure of the dead opponent. Then the Terran entered the cavern, and immediately raised his spear to defend against a quick attack that was aimed at his neck. Shi Lang said, “You can ease up Senior Sister.”

The lady was surprised and exclaimed, “Xiao Lang? How come you are here? What about the five people outside?”

Shi Lang replied, “They are occupied, did you find anything precious here, or shall we leave?”

The lady calmly shook her head and said, “We can leave right away. I found a few Spirit Insect eggs, and collected a few of them. Other than that, there is nothing of importance in this cavern.”

Shi Lang nodded and the two of them left the cave quickly. The young lady did not say much the entire way. They moved quickly and avoided all the obstacles, after an entire week, Shi Lang found all the people. His speed was quick, and they did not run in much trouble. The people who gathered around him were shocked to see such a thing.

It was the time of night when Shi Lang and the rest were sitting inside a frozen cave hidden behind a sky high waterfall. The cold tempered girl from the Broken Moon Palace, the disciple of Lady Lao Yuesha, said, “What do you plan to do after this?”

Shi Lang took a deep breath and said, “I suggest we form two teams. We will target the three houses, and compete with the two sects fairly to collect the treasures. What do you all have to say about it?”

One of the senior disciples sighed and said, “Junior Brother Shi, why would the disciples from the two sects agree to compete with us? They are all strong.”

The people nodded and Shi Lang said, “If that is the case, you target the treasures that are not being pursued by them. I will lead a team that will handle the three houses. What do you think?”

Marissa thought for a moment, and said, “You will need people with considerable attack power to tackle the three houses, right?”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “I will take Senior Brother Yan from Spear Hall, Senior Sister Jing from Sword Hall, Senior Brother Tonk from Pugilist Hall. Other than that, I will take all the second in command from the fighting teams from the Broken Moon Hall. If they wish to fight.”

Marissa asked, “Why not take the best among us all?”

Shi Lang shook his head and replied, “It is because the top contenders will help in treasure hunting. Fighting spirit beasts that guard the herbs with their lives is harder than taking down a bunch of mongrels. I will play the kill team, and the rest of you will take on the role of treasure hunting. The alchemists from both the halls, they will guide you all in a better way.”

Marissa thought for a bit and nodded before she said, “Good, you do have a little brain.”

Shi Lang did not care about her remarks and tossed out a jade token to the alchemist who sat beside him. He said, “Call me when you need help. This token will open a void portal for quick travel.”

The people agreed and they split up to go and deal with the tasks they took upon themselves.
