Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang did not know about the things happening outside after the incident with the Zhu Family. He was immersed in cultivation and wanted to reach the peak of the Immortal King realm. It was said that all the Immortal Kings were allowed to participate. However, that was too broad of a spectrum.

There were many rules that the people did not mention in detail. Well, the initial assessment was when the people thought the tournament had begun because not everyone managed to ace it. There have been many deaths because the cultivators were stubborn and did not give up.

Tian Long had told Shi Lang about the difficulty level, and thus, he was preparing the best he could. Yun Xue was also the same; she was at the edge of ascending to the Immortal Queen realm. The tournament had just been held two days ago, and Shi Lang had yet to escape his seclusion.

Just when Yao Jiming was about to risk his neck and enter the room to awaken the Young Master, the spiritual flow around Yun Xue's room suddenly changed. Every Immortal King and Immortal Lord sensed it. Yang Tie left his room and said, "Raise the barriers."

The guards have been on edge these past few days. They did not know if someone would attack the pavilion to disrupt the preparations of the Young Master and Lady Yun. These days, when Yun Xue steps out of her room, she spars with the people she can find. Heavenly Dragon Pavilion had forgers, but none of them were weak. They would spar with her and, regardless of their ages, seek guidance when she defeated them.

Yun Xue was never stingy, and she guided the people without holding back anything. Thus, she gained the name Lady Yun. The people were respectful to those who had power. A maid whispered, "I wonder if Young Master will come out. Lady Yun had been working hard to catch up with him."

Another maid nodded and remarked, "I wonder why Young Master has not gone after her yet?"

At this moment, they hear a calm voice, "It is because I have yet to gain permission from my wife. I will not do anything that will upset her; that was my promise to her now if you, to kind ladies, would allow me. Your lady needs to be taken away for her tribulation."

The ladies were startled; they had not expected Shi Lang to appear behind them. The Terran smiled as he enjoyed messing up with them. He waved his hand and undid the restriction on the room. Yun Xue opened her eyes, and her body shivered. She was holding back the strong, surging spiritual energy within her body.

Shi Lang said, "Off we go?"

The lady nodded, and then the Terran opened a portal to teleport them to a barren place in the eastern barrens. Yun Xue asked, "Why are we here?"

Shi Lang replied, "The spiritual energy is scarce. It will give you a few more seconds to prepare for the next bolt."

The lightning bolts will not condense as soon as they would with abundant spiritual energy. Shi Lang was applying simple logic to make things safer. He could not interfere directly with the tribulation difficulty, which would become increasingly dangerous. Yun Xue nodded and distanced herself from Shi Lang.

The Terran wanted to say some encouraging words, but he could not. He admired Yun Xue for being the person she was, and he was attracted to her, but it was not maddening love. To him, Amelia was the person he loved truly because not only was she the person who indirectly gave him a chance to redeem himself when he was at his lowest, but she was the person who made many sacrifices for him—someone who understood him properly.

The clouds condensed, and lightning bolts fell to test Yun Xue's skills and understanding of Dao. The tribulation did not exceed a few minutes, but Shi Lang thought it had been ages. He knew what it was like to face these tribulations.

He checked his communicator and found Yang Niao had become an Immortal King. Amelia also informed him of her ascension and that she awaited him in the Tournament. Shi Lang congratulated her and expressed his wish to see her soon.

The tribulation ended as he chatted with people, and Yun Xue finished her ascension. He did not wait for her to heal from her injuries and threw her a set of clothes. When Yun Xue finished healing and stood stark naked, she hastily picked up the clothes and dressed up.

They returned to the Forger City and found Yang Tie pacing in the garden. He looked troubled. The terran approached him and asked, "What is the trouble?"

Yang Tie sighed and said, "I have been working hard and cannot find any solution to the device prototype."

Shi Lang smiled and said, "You cannot invent anything overnight, Pavilion Master. Calm down, and you will eventually find a way. Take one step back and move two steps forward."

Yang Tie nodded and caught sight of Yun Xue. He congratulated her and said, "Your breakthrough came at the right time. The tournament will start the day after tomorrow."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Yun Xue, go and consolidate your foundation."

Yun Xue nodded and said, "I will try to consolidate as much as possible."

The Terran nodded, and after she left, he asked, "Can you tell me who the people to watch out for in the city are?"

Yang Tie replied, "The Meng Family is filled with talented individuals. Also, a few days ago, the two young masters of the Zhu Family returned. They were enraged about how their family suffered, but then they pinned it all on their stupidity when Old Pie arrived and told them what happened."

Shi Lang nodded and asked, "Then?"

Yang Tie sighed and replied, "They pinned it all on their wild ambition, and Zhu Lin was thrown out of the house to die. I heard that he had bullied some women from the brothel in the past, so they avenged themselves and left his naked corpse in the alley."

Surprised, Shi Lang said, "Well, it does not matter. What about the two young masters of the Zhu family? Do they have any remarkable skill?"

Yang Tie nodded and replied, "They have been trained in combat at the front lines. They both hold a high position in the military headed by the Northern Sect Alliance."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "What skills do they have?"

Yang Tie shook his head and said, "This information can only be found by shady means, which I do not entertain. As for their weapon of preference, they are both spear masters."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I would love to play with them in the tournament. Now tell me about the Meng siblings."

Yang Tie replied to his queries, and the two chatted about the tournament's rules and in-depth mechanics. It was morning when Shi Lang left to complete the last-minute preparations. He had to see if he could overhaul the quality of his spear for use in the tournament. If nothing worked, he would ask Yang Tie.

He took out his spear in the forging room and prepared to fuse it with a small amount of celestial steel. Emeris was too rare for the experts to recognize. Celestial Steel was still somewhat stored with a few older experts. Tian Long had a sword that was made of completely celestial steel.

If he managed to fuse the metals, then his spear's spirituality would improve along with the level of damage. Shi Lang took a chunk of celestial steel and got to his work. The entire day, he spent time in the forging room, and when everyone was gathered, they did not find him.

Yao Jiming rushed over and said, "Pavilion Master, young master is at a critical stage of

refining his weapon, it will take him some time."

Yang Tie frowned and said, "How long do you think?"

Yao Jiming said, "I think half an hour."

Yang Tie thought about it and said, "Fine, I will try to hold them for a bit."

That said, Yang Tie left the pavilion with the rest of the people to gather at the square where the initial assessment would be conducted. Yao Jiming rushed to the forging room to inform Shi Lang about this when he came out.

…

Meanwhile, the biggest cleared space in the city, the central square, which was about five hundred meters wide in radius on all sides, was filled with Immortal Kings and Immortal Lords like ants. Among this crowd were the people from the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion. Yun Xue looked around and said, "I did not expect this tournament to be such a big gathering."

A few Immortal Queens beside her heard this and said, "Lady Yun, I heard that such gatherings are being held in almost all the cities of human territory."

Yun Xue nodded. At this moment, an old man appeared in the void. It was the City Lord Pie. He spoke in a sonorous tone, "Welcome, everyone. I am the city lord of the Forger City and the junior invigilator of the entrance assessment for the Centurion Tournament."

The people immediately fell silent, and Old Pie said, "Immortal Lords will have to withstand the pressure of five immortal lords for five minutes. You will be disqualified if your knees touch the ground or if you use any spiritual tools. As for the Immortal Kings, please await your turn. Without further ado, let us begin."
