Ace Of Terrans - Chapter 1092: Growth.
Chapter 1092: Growth.
Shi Lang was dwelling in the Dao Plain for several months and he didn’t return back even once. All this because he was tempering himself. Gradually as he fought, the prowess he displayed increased. He stopped holding back in his battles and as soon as someone directed a shred of killing intent towards him, Shi Lang reaped lives.
The battles and killings have increased so much that the Terran was featured in a book called the people one must avoid at all costs. Although Shi Lang was ranked low in the list, but his presence meant that he had the power to kill those similar or below his realm. Many races held back the information that Shi Lang had killed the people considered to be half step sages, otherwise, his rank would be even higher.
Well, who would want their enemy to benefit? The Terran had finished tempering himself and his Dao Tree had bore fruits. It was time for him to go back and see if he can break through the realm of sages.
He came back to the Dao City where he found a member of the Miwa Clan waiting for him. Unlike the last time, the people who hated humans were just standing on the side, and didn’t even dare to look at Shi Lang with any rage. They were that scared of him. The terran stepped inside the house and said, “Well, bring me out.”
The Miwa clan member nodded with a smile and opened the path back. What appeared on the otherside was a shock. Shi Lang looked around the place and he took a deep breath before he raised his brow and asked, “What happened here?”
The man from the Miwa Clan replied, “Lord, after you climbed the ranks, the quality and quantity of the spiritual energy increased by a huge amount. The number of experts is growing exponentially.”
Shi Lang nodded and replied, “At least something good came out of it.”
As he walked through the market, he found that the quality of goods has also increased and at the same time, he noticed a few people from different races moving around to either buy or standing behind the stalls to sell their goods. He asked, “What is this?”
The member of the Miwa clan replied, “Welcome to the Myriad Market. This place was inaugurated by lady Amelia and the rest of the experts of the human race. This allows a better communication and experience hot spot. Humans and various races interact with each other and learn a lot.”
Shi Lang frowned and said, “I am going to the Asura Hall.”
The man bowed and said, “Yes, Lord.”
Shi Lang waved his hand and opened a void portal in the middle of the market and vanished. He wanted to know why was such a thing allowed? Why could the foreign races come over to their world and gather information about them?
…
Shi Lang appeared at the parameter of the Asura Hall, and then navigated his way through the arrays. This network was no longer a danger to him, but once he got caught in the arrays, it would be a headache. Shi Lang walked up to the gates, where a few guards maintained vigil. They all looked at him with wary gazes, and Shi Lang produced the token of his identity.
Only then did the guards bowed and replied, “Welcome Home, Hall Master.”
Shi Lang nodded and replied, “Keep up the good work.”
The gate was opened and Shi Lang went inside. The Asura Hall was bustling as usual. Shi Lang headed straight to the situation room. Out of two commanders, one of them must always be present in the situation room to counter any unexpected situation.
The disciples all spotted Shi Lang, but they could not recognize him as he looked nothing like his refined self. He was now akin to a scavenger, not that the Terran minded their gazes. He arrived at the gates of the situation room, and a strong voice stopped him, “Hey! Where do you think you are going?”
Shi Lang turned to look at the speaker and found Tian Long, who was stunned the moment their gazes matched and the Terran radiated a strong aura of supremacy. Even when his seal of supreme was hidden the aura caused Tian Long to waver in his stance.
Shi Lang asked, “Have I been outside for so long that you would forget about me? Mongrel.”
Tian Long sighed and said, “I just didn’t expect you to return to your roots like this.”
Shi Lang snorted and pushed open the door of the situation room. Inside, everyone was working seriously, they were monitoring various situational reports from all the places where they had deployed their agents. Shi Lang took a deep breath and looked at Archie Arkham who was sitting in the command chair and asked, “Commander Silence, who can tell me why is there an alien market in the center of the most important city of the human race?”
His voice stunned everyone and they all turned to look at him. Commander Silence was about to question his identity when Tian Long’s voice sounded in her mind and she stood up as she said, “Welcome back, Hall Master. The market is just a stint, it is our way to penetrate these races on a deeper level.”
Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, “Elaborate.”
Commander Archie Arkham took a deep breath, she could sense that something about Shi Lang was different, the lady said, “Sir, when these foreign races come over to the market, we give them a few gifts. These gifts contain nano probes. They are covered with spiritual arrays that could evade the senses of a Dao Emperor. The people are very low level soldiers mostly, we inject our nano probes inside their bodies to monitor a lot of things.
Some probes are targetted to the central nervous system, and we are able to gather information about their cultural, social, and military affairs. Once these aliens make a round trip, the probes transmit the data in a binary form to our main servers.
Shi Tao has come up with a strategy that involves providing these races with advanced communication system, that way our invasion would be even better. However, the races are not that hooked with us yet.”
Shi Lang nodded, and said, “I see, carry on, I am leaving.”
He turned around and left the situation room. Archie Arkham sighed and looked at Tian Long, as she asked, “What happened?”
Tian Long replied, “What else would happen? He has been fighting constantly and spending his free time in comprehending the meaning of his Dao Laws. He is returning to his roots. The roots that existed before any of you knew him. The elusive Scavenger King.”
…
Shi Lang came to his courtyard, and and sat down in the garden. Soon after Raksha’s silhouette appeared beside him, and she asked, “What is going on?”
Shi Lang looked at her with a dead pan expression and said, “Can you not bother me? I want to comprehend my laws further.”
Raksha looked at him and replied, “Dude, you will go crazy at this pace. Look at yourself, your eyes are dead.”
Shi Lang looked at Raksha and replied, “They aren’t dead you doofus, I am processing my thoughts in the back of my head. I have not stopped comprehending because the conjectures I have stumbled upon are fascinating, now shoo.”
He closed his eyes and began to comprehend the laws he had come upon, as he progressed, Dao began to resonate with him. Raksha raised her brow and she exploited her status, and wanted to move closer to Shi Lang, but suddenly, a young lady manifested before him. The lady wore an armor, she had a crown on her head and her expression was intimidating.
Raksha asked, “Who are you?”
The lady replied, “I am Kunan.”
Raksha furrowed her brows and was about to attack when Shi Lang said, “The spirit in Tribulation. Now, go be friendly ith each other and for the last time, stop disturbiung me.”
Raksha pouted and said, “I want to comprehend under the Dao Resonance, is that wrong?”
Shi Lang shook his head and said, “Kunan, she is the elder sister. Now calm down.”
That was it, he went back to continue comprehending things as his body drove in spiritual energy and nourished the Dao Tree, which seemed to be channeling with different colors. As time passed, the ripples created from his body intensified. Tian Long suddenly said, “Everyone, sit down and meditate, comprehend as many laws and techniques as you can.”
The elders all sat down around the surrounding walls of Shi Lang’s courtyard and the rest of the disciples sat down behind them in different layers.
…
Amelia and Shi Tao came back from their exploration trip and they were surprised. They were shocked as they looked around the place, but Amelia suddenly ran her spiritual sense and said, “Your father is flexing his growth. Come, let us take advantage of it as well.”
The entire Asura Hall was embroiled in meditation and many people even made breakthroughs and gained better understanding of their techniques. Shi Lang had come back stronger and along with him the rest of the people were also growing stronger with each passing moment.
