Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang made his way to the forbidden valley, and Cao Ming called him inside. The Terran was about to kneel when he sensed a strong force preventing him from doing that. He looked at the middle-aged man, who said, "I have a task for you."

Shi Lang stood up straight and said, "Master, please tell me what to do?"

Cao Ming spoke with his evergreen sunshine smile on his face, "Leave the sect and come back when you step on the peak of the Dao General realm, you have to do it in one year."

Shi Lang was shocked, and wanted to ask why he must do any of it within a year, but then he just nodded and took the command. Cao Ming said, "I know you want to ask me many questions, but your Dao Plant has turned into something I have never seen. It is a golden lotus condensed with the plethora of Dao Laws. You can only comprehend so much in the sect.

So, go out and travel, acquire resources on your own. You will grow stronger that way."

Shi Lang nodded and replied, "I understand Master, I shall leave right away."

Cao Ming nodded and said, "Go, be brave, and stay safe, do not act rashly just because your prowess is higher than the others."

Shi Lang nodded with a smile on his face, and Cao Ming flicked his wrist and tossed a jade bead bracelet to the former. The Terran caught hold of the bracelet and Cao Ming said, "Keep it on your person, it will prevent people from peeking in your Dantian."

Shi Lang bowed and thanked Cao Ming before leaving. This bracelet will allow him to use his full power and also prevent peering gazes. The Terran came to courtyard where he lived. He hardly ever visited this place in the past, all his belonging were stored in the space ring on his right hand.

This time he came here to collect his notes. In this days, he stored the notes from his observations in the house to use them at will without the hassle of skimming through his space ring. Not only that, Shi Lang had even set up a spiritual simulation chamber inside the house. He used it to fight against an army of people.

That was why he was able to hold his own against the Outer Court Dragons. He was not leaving any stone unturned in order to raise his strength. Shi Lang might have recovered a little bit of his old personality, but he was still focused on one goal only, and that was to destroy the Juan Family at all costs.

After he packed up his stuff he removed the restriction barrier placed around the house and left the place. He had just came to the gate of the sect when he found Lou Shin standing there.

Shi Lang greeted her with a bow and said, "Greetings, Instructor Lou."

Lou Shin nodded and said, "Are you ready to go?"

Shi Lang was confused and asked, "Instructor, are you going out with me?"

Lou Shin nodded and replied, "Holy Elder thinks that it is better for you to have someone to protect you. After all, the people from the three families can act pretty stupid."

Shi Lang thought about it and said, "Yes, I am ready."

Lou Shin led the way and Shi Lang followed her half a step behind. The lady showed the sect leaving permit to the guards and they were about to take a step out, when suddenly Shi Lang stopped in his tracks and retrieved the Warring Disciple token.

Lou Shin looked at him and asked, "What happened?"

Shi Lang said, "The last time I went to the Eden Garden, Master asked me to leave this token behind. This time he did not, what is going on?"

Lou Shin smiled and said, "As perceptive as ever. This time you are going out to finish your War Disciple Trial. Come along, I will explain it to you."

Shi Lang stowed away the token and left the sect gates. The guards looked at his back, and one of them mumbled, "Senior Brother Shi is very strong, his pressure is made me feel suffocated."

The other guy nodded and said, "I heard he chopped the arm of a Dao King. He is a genius."

Shi Lang did not care much, but he was the treasure of the outer sect. The sect elders also maintained the low key treatment because they did not want him to grow arrogant and also, the Holy Elder did not allow them too. The recognition Shi Lang gained in the sect was the result of his own efforts.

...

Lou Shin said, "When you fight and kill people outside, which you'll have to do with no way around it, you will gain battle points. Also, you are not allowed to kill fellow disciples. If any of them tried anything funny, I will handle it."

Shi Lang nodded silently, before he asked, "Instructor Lou, may I ask what am I supposed to do now?"

Lou Shin shrugged her shoulders and said, "You can decide on your own discretion. I will not say anything in this matter."

Shi Lang nodded and understood that the lady had come out to protect him like she had in the past when he left for the primary trial. While walking through the Eastern Heaven City, Shi Lang observed many things, but suddenly he realized something and stopped. He looked to his right and found a familiar hoarding.

He smiled and walked over to the lady standing outside, watching him with a smile. Shi Lang cupped his fist and said, "I have seen Elder Yue."

The lady before him was the person who cast an illusion to test him. The lady nodded and asked softly, "Xiao Lang, what brings you to the pavilion?"

Shi Lang scratched the back of his head and asked, "I am out on a self learning trip so I wanted to know if I can find any missions here."

Lady Yue nodded and said, "You can go in and check for yourself."

Shi Lang greeted her and entered the building, and came to the reception to his surprise, his teacher aunt Lao Ying was missing from her seat. Instead, Marissa was sitting their with a dull face. She saw Shi Lang and was similarly surprised, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Shi Lang greeted her before he replied, "I am out for a self explore trip, can you tell me if there are any odd missions that are yet to be accepted?"

Marissa nodded, she was not surprised that the Martial Spirit Hall allowed Shi Lang to go outside, because the young man before her was that strong. She jumped over the reception counter and led Shi Lang to the wall across the hall.

Shi Lang was thinking what she was going to do, when the girl took out a token from her space ring and placed it against the wall. The next moment, the wall vanished and Shi Lang found himself standing before a place with multiple counters and it was bustling with activity.

Marissa took out a wooden mask from her sleeve and gave it to Shi Lang. She said, "You have to wear this so that the people inside do not recognize you."

Shi Lang nodded and placed the mask on his face, and the arrays on the mask activated. Then Marissa led Shi Lang inside, and the place was so bustling that many people did not notice their arrival.

Marissa said, "There are many bright moon pavilions and we usually deal in information exchange. However, we also have a side that is known only to us."

Shi Lang replied with spiritual communication, "Assassinations and Investigation."

Marissa nodded, and bought him to a counter, where a lady with a mask similar to them raised her head and Marissa said, "He is looking for a mission, you can give him A rank missions, I will vouch."

The lady nodded, and took out a few scrolls for Shi Lang. The young man accepted the scrolls and then looked through the contents one by one, before he accepted a scroll and the lady said, "You will work under the cover of a Broken Moon Pavilion Disciple. Take this temporary Id token and show it to the recruiter."

Shi Lang nodded and backed off. Marissa asked, "Don't you want to know why you are a disciple of the Broken Moon Pavilion this time?"

Shi Lang rolled his eyes and replied, "If I cannot even figure that out, then I am useless."

He had learned from Elder Yang Bingshan, that the Broken Moon Pavilion will allow the disciples of the Martial Spirit Hall to pose as their own and work for them. They split the profit. Broken Moon Pavilion had less people but the world should not and cannot know that, or it might turn bad, so the two halls ran in agreement.

The disciples from the two halls would function in each others uniform when they went out of the sect sometimes.
