Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang stood inside the mist with a dazed expression on his face. He was standing at the border of the mist and the world outside. Yao was shocked, she did not expect something like this to happen. This guy had an epiphany at the worst place possible in the whole area.

However, if she disturbed him, it would cause him a huge lose, he might even suffer a back lash. Just when she was thinking if she should enter the mist and protect him, a black figure flickered through the void and a bony claw attacked at his back.

At this moment, Yao moved, but she would not be able to reach him in time. The second of hesitation put Shi Lang in a dangerous situation. A sharp whistle echoed in the surroundings and a golden-red spear shot at the spear from inside the mist. The weapon emitted such a strong piercing attack that a fist sized hole was poked in the void.

The void hole sucked in the remnant spear which turned into dust. Yao was shocked, she watched the scene with her eyes wide open. Shi Lang shivered and grabbed the void to hold his spear. He looked at his weapon and said, "You have grown in the face of adversity, Tribulation."

Yao came to stand before him. She was shocked and asked, "Did you just use the space intent to poke a hole in the place?"

Shi Lang nodded, and said, "I did."

That was it, he did not say anymore. Yao did not poke around much and after calming her mind she said, "Come along."

Shi Lang bowed and followed to her slowly.

...

In the Council Hall, the elders were watching the scene that just occurred on a replay, and the Sword Elder asked, "Did he just merge the slaughter intent with lightning element?"

The rest of the people nodded. Sect Master smiled and said, "Looks like he found inspiration in the movement of the remnant spirits. They use space element in their attacks. Turns out this kid just exploited the test for his gain. Hahaha, crafty one."

The old people all smiled. At this moment, the Martial Spirit Hall was one of the seven big powers, but the situation was not looking good for them. Within the last one year, they had been suffering hidden attacks from sides.

The Sect Master said, "Brothers and Sisters, I hope that you call can select some outstanding disciples and send them to the crimson peak once a week. Lady Yao has agreed to teach them."

The elders all nodded in agreement. The sect master stood up from the chair and said, "The upcoming Seven Star Tournament is very important for us because of various reasons. In the past one year, we have lost no less then fifteen core disciples, all Dao Lord realm cultivators.

We need to avenge our disciples, and also to make sure that our position in the seven high powers does not shake. The tournament is only five years away. Please let us push forward as much as we can."

...

While the elders were discussing the situation of the sect, Shi Lang was climbing the crimson mountain with Yao. He asked suddenly, "Elder Yao, may I ask you a question?"

Yao nodded and Shi Lang asked, "Why are the people so desperate?"

Yao stopped and asked, "What do you mean?"

The Terran looked in her eyes and asked, "The Martial Spirit Hall is one of the strongest forces in this part of the Immortal World. Then why do I feel the disciples being so hungry to improve their strength. They seem to be pushing too hard. I have seen it in their eyes when they look at me.

If not for the fact that the sect master intervened with my fate, I would have been fighting people like crazy."

Yao turned around to walk and said, "You are aware of the outer court rankings and the inner court rankings already. Right?"

Shi Lang nodded and Yao continued, "Master told me that you came from a lower world, so you must have seen all sort of power plays whether in open or in the shadows. This immortal world is no different than that. On the surface, the place is very calm and is ruled by the strong and they all have cordial relations with each other, but that is just bogus.

Every now and then, when the disciples go out, they often clash with each other, and these clashes cause blood shed. It has been going on like that from the very first time sun shone upon us humans. So, while they are cordial on the surface, in the shadows they all hold knives.

In the past one year, three of the other six forces have been attacking us and we have lost fifteen core disciples. In the core region of the sect the disciples are ranked one from hundred. The fifteen deaths have disrupted the strength of the sect.

This is why they are all desperate. They wish to avenge their senior brothers and also to win resources that will help them fight."

Shi Lang nodded in understanding, it was not that difficult actually. He followed Yao to the peak of the mountain and the lady said, "You can cultivate here. There is no cultivation caves or homes on this peak except one. That cave belongs to me, and if you want to stay there, you will have to fight me and defeat me. Understood?"

Shi Lang looked around and nodded, before he sat down. Lady Yao watched him and said, "I will come to check on you every seven days, and we will spar. I will test you, and every time you pass, I will teach you something."

Shi Lang cupped his fists and then he closed his eyes to enter the meditative state. Yao watched him for a while before she left the summit. She had huge expectations from Shi Lang after she watched him deal with a remnant spirit with one blow.

...

Shi Lang was meditating, and his true essence was rolling inside his body. The cells were getting drunk on power and getting stronger. His mind was dwelling on the skill he comprehended at the edge of the blood mist. In that moment, he learned how to integrate the space element with his senses.

Yes, he did not use it in combination with the lightning energy, but his own body. He had been watching the remnant spirits and their attack movements. He wanted to figure out how they were evading his sensory ability which could detect anything and everything. Shi Lang realized while fighting that these creatures were integrated with the space itself.

The expert who slayed them must have used space element talent and the intent of that element lingered in the soul of the remnant beasts. Shi Lang had been moving around and trying to imitate what these things were doing. However, he could not get any results until, he was about to step out of the boundary.

Outside the mist there was a slight spatial energy and when the energy acted on his body, only then did he realize how it would work. At this moment, he was sensing the space element in the void around him and moving it through his body. The space element was rare for a reason, it was not easy to absorb.

Shi Lang tried for a few hours, but since it was not that easy to absorb the energy, he took a deep breath and gave up the idea. Then he consolidated the space element energy in his body. He positioned the energy into a thin ring around the fire seed in his Dantian.

The fire seed was spinning around at a high speed and the ring of silver energy was moving very quickly with it. Shi Lang intended to use this technique to develop a sense for the space energy. Since he could not absorb it, he intended to let it move through him and then use it for his technique.

He sat crossed legs on the ground, and after a week, their was a faint layer of dust that was spinning around him slowly. The sheet of dust was moving slowly but it was there. It covered the distance of seven meters.

Raksha appeared in his soul sea and said, "Very exquisite technique, what can you do?"

Shi Lang replied, "I can sense everything in this range, and I can move anywhere."

Raksha took a deep breath and said, "I see, then can I name it?"

The Terran replied, "Go ahead."

He had no interest in naming his techniques anymore. Raksha floated around in the soul sea and said, "Let's call it Shura Heaven. What do you think?"

Shi Lang did not respond, he kept on meditating, until Yao stepped in the seven meter range. The lady saw him opening his eyes and standing up from the ground. He stretched a bit and then greeted the lady before she said, "Come, let us spar."

Shi Lang nodded and took out Raksha from his space ring. Yao also held a blade in her hand and said, "I will lower my cultivation..."

The Terran replied, "Elder Yao, please fight at your full strength. The enemy will not care about my realm."
