Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 754 Strategizing & Sudden Visit.

?Shi Lang took Yun Xue to the side, and the lady woke up after a few moments. The first thing that attracted her mind was the trembling ground. She looked around and found that Shi

Lang was cultivating to regain his energy while Yao Jiming stood beside her.

She asked, "What is going on?" Googlᴇ search novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ.nᴇt

Yao Jiming replied, "Sister Mel is going through her assessment. It is not easy, but she is holding up pretty well."

Yun Xue sat up and nodded as she asked, "Did you pass?"

Yao Jiming nodded and said, "By the stroke of luck, managed to fend off a senior."

Yun Xue was not surprised. This person was following Shi Lang. How could he be mediocre?

She sat up and asked, "The rest of the people have yet to take their assessment?"

Yao Jiming shook his head, and Shi Lang said, "Focus on regaining your energy. It will not be simple later on."

Yun Xue thought and nodded. She crossed her legs and closed her eyes to gather spiritual energy. After a few minutes, the barrier was undone, and Old Man Pie said, "Mel Drake passes the test."

Yao Jiming walked over to help the injured lady. Although the injury was not fatal, it did affect Mel's fighting capability. Shi Lang opened his eyes and said, "Brother Yao, we are returning to the pavilion."

His words surprised the trio. However, they could tell from his gaze that things were not simple. They nodded, and Shi Lang asked Old City Lord, "City Lord, can we go back?"

Old Man Pie and the rest of the people were shocked and did not know why Shi Lang wanted to leave. He asked, "Young Master Ace, why do you wish to return so quickly?"

Shi Lang replied with hubris, "We are all weapon forgers. I am a newly promoted Forging Master and must practice my skills daily to improve. Thus, I wish to return, and my friends will leave with me. If we have no further assessments to undergo, I would not like to stay idle."

Old Man Pie had a twitch at the corner of his mouth, but he nodded and said, "Please come over tomorrow morning. The third round of assessment will begin then."

Shi Lang nodded and left with the people beside him. His exit shocked the people. The biggest reason they were all standing here was to observe their opponents' skill level.

However, Shi Lang walked away as if he did not care about anything. This made some people angry because they thought he was looking down on them.

However, if they were to learn of his thoughts, they would be scared as hell.

…

Shi Lang and the rest returned to the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion with Yang Tie and the rest of the people. The ones who were eliminated were not allowed to communicate with them. Yang Tie was forbidden from interactions as well.

Once they came back to the pavilion. Yang Tie asked, "Young Master, what happened?"

Shi Lang replied, "We need to prepare for the next round."

Yang Tie and the rest were surprised, and the former asked, "Do you know what the next round will be like?"

Shi Lang rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I have that connection with those old people outside? The one old man I know will play hooky on me. That bastard never comes to help me. I have an idea of my own. Go, I do not need you here."

He waved his hand and dismissed Yang Tie with a sudden scolding. Not only the Pavilion Master but even Tian Long was not spared. Shi Lang issued the eviction order. Yang Tie hastily left the place, and Shi Lang continued, "Okay, now tell me, what do you think could be the next trial?"

Yun Xue replied, "Survival?"

Yao Jiming said, "Could it be that we have to fight against the rest of the people?"

Shi Lang nodded faintly and looked at the last person in the room. Mel Drake said, "Young Master, I agree with the two."

The Terran nodded and said, "You all agree with me. However, I think they will throw us a curve ball."

They all looked at him in confusion, and Shi Lang cleared his throat as he said, "I mean, we might have to survive while fighting with the other opponents. However, they could throw in the demon beasts to increase the difficulty. There are many things they could do. So, the main motive is to develop strategies for all the possible scenarios we can think of."

Yun Xue asked, "What will that do?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "It will narrow down risks. You will have less chances of getting caught in an unprepared situation."

Yao Jiming nodded and said, "I agree. However, Young Master, what about the information on the opponents?"

Yun Xue nodded and said, "Yeah, they have all seen us fighting."

Shi Lang sighed and replied, "You all fought following my instructions, right?"

Mel Drake nodded, and the other two followed. The Terran had told them not to use special skills or their domains. He said, "Since you did not expose any of your major skills, they can still try to estimate your mastery of them. Also, while they are busy thinking about the extent of our strength, we are already preparing to deal with them."

Yao Jiming nodded and asked, "Young Master, what must we do?"

The Terran stood before them and said, "Brother Yao, we might be forced to operate inside a closed space. They might isolate us from the world and force us to separate from each other. In that case, we must locate each other quickly and regroup. For that, I would need a small transmitter that allows the four of us to communicate."

Yao Jiming was surprised by this idea. He was wondering what command this guy had now, but what he had was completely unexpected and swooped him off his feet. Then Shi Lang said, "Sister Mel, you were injured, although you have taken medicine. Here, take this, and you will return to your optimal state with five drops. Share the rest with the two of them. Yun Xue, gather a port of poison antidotes and anti-demon medicine."

Yun Xue raised her brow and asked, "Are you thinking we might up against Demon Beasts?"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Until I have finished the third round, I will not rule out this possibility. Now get to work; I have to inform others, too."

The trio nodded and left the room quickly. Shi Lang handed the design plan of a transmitter to Yao Jiming, and the jade bottle contained fifty drops of spirit liquid—the best medicine to rejuvenate the spiritual energy.

After everyone was gone, he quickly began to correspond with Amelia and Bo Qingtan, along with the major players of the Asura Hall, Yang Niao, and the rest of them. The conversation was very fulfilling and gave the people a good idea of what they could face in the next round. Although the people from Asura Hall had become stronger, they had a few weaknesses in their foundations, and thus, some could not pass the assessment.

Shi Lang consoled them with one line: "Go train harder, and I dare you to leave the training before you have rectified the flaws."

The people took his command and quickly returned to the Asura Hall for punishment. Meanwhile, those who had passed the test began to prepare according to what Shi Lang said. The Terran had a feeling that the third round of the tournament would be same for all of the people.

After he was done with the instructions, he was about to go for cultivation when a voice echoed in his mind, "I wonder if I can have an audience with Young Master Ace."

Shi Lang was surprised because he did not sense anyone around him. He braced himself and said, "I would be obliged, Senior."

Since his senses could not pick up the person, he was sure a senior was visiting. As soon as he said this, Yang Tie appeared at the door. He asked, "Young Master, are you okay?"

Shi Lang nodded, and a person appeared beside Yang Tie. This person was dressed in a sky-blue hooded robe. Yang Tie quickly turned around and raised his hand while asking, "Who are you?"

The figure replied, "I am a messenger from the north. Pavilion Master Yang need not worry."

Yang Tie scoffed and replied, "You barged inside the pavilion unannounced. Who do you think you are?"

Shi Lang sighed and said, "Pavilion Master, can you calm down? This senior is not an enemy."

Yang Tie put down his foot and said, "Young Master, I can tolerate anything, but the dignity of the Heavenly Pavilion is not to be tarnished."

Considering this, Shi Lang nodded and said, "Senior, you need to sort this out with Pavilion Master Yang before I can converse with you."
