Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 608 Low-Profile.

He smiled and asked, "Brother, were you talking to us right now?"

The young man with the lion tattoo smiled and said, "Yes, you are looking to make a name for yourself in this chaotic Central Plain, right?"

Shi Lang nodded, and the young man said, "Then I am talking to you. May I sit here?"

The terran gestured and welcomed the young man to sit down. The person said, "My name is Xing Lan. I am a head hunter."

The terran returned the greeting and introduced himself. Xing Lan looked at the other two and asked, "Are they your team?"

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "We are just travelers who met on the spirit vessel."

Xing Lang nodded to the two, and the two people returned the greeting. Bo Qingtan introduced himself, but Yun Xue did not. Xing Lan did not mind the silence of a fairy. He smiled and said, "Brother Shi Lang, I am a head hunter. As the term sounds, I travel the central plains and hunt for the criminals and the people with bounties on their heads."

Shi Lang raised his brows and said, "This is the first time I have heard about this."

Xing Lang nodded and said, "The head hunters do not work outside the central plains."

Shi Lang asked, "Why so?"

The young man replied, "The organization\'s rules. I do not know much about the reasoning. We just follow it."

Shi Lang nodded, and Xing Lang continued, "The prize money changes according to the target. However, as you complete missions, you will gain prestige and commissioned tasks. You will get to travel the length of the central plain, and you will also get to participate in various events all around the central plains."

Bo Qingtan asked, "What sort of events?"

Xing Lan replied, "Well, there are ruin explorations and quests for the heavenly treasures. Another thing is the upcoming Centurian Tournament."

The three people looked at him with eager eyes. Xing Lan smiled and said, "The Centurian tournament is held once in a century. The tournament is one of the biggest tournaments. Everyone comes there to participate and gain some recognition. There are no discriminations to your origin or forces. Even spirit beast cultivators participate in this event."

Shi Lang asked, "How long before the tournament? What are the rules?"

Xing Lan smiled and said, "Your bone age cannot be any higher than twenty-five. You cannot kill your opponent, and the minimum cultivation level is Immortal Lord. The highest is the peak of the Immortal King realm. It will be at the end of the year. I think. So you have nine months."

Shi Lang was surprised and asked, "The disparity between the two realms is a bit too much."

Xing Lan smiled and said, "The first hundred will get a chance to join a great sect or family. The top fifty will get various resources pulled in by various military factions. The top ten will be able to join the military forces as commanding officers, and the call winner will be known as the Centurian Immortal. The strongest of this generation."

Shi Lang took a deep breath, and then he fell in some thought. Given that Amelia has just arrived in the world, she will have enough time to adjust to the atmosphere of this world. There was a chance that she would come to the tournament. In the meantime, he will find a way to increase his chances of communicating with her.

He nodded and asked, "So, where do I have to go to become a head hunter?"

Xing Lan looked at the map on the table and tapped on a point thrice, saying, "You will need to go here. The Tiexian City. This is where they conduct tests for the head hunters and give out the license. Seven Immortal Sovereigns founded the organization, but now only five are alive, and they all live here."

Shi Lang nodded and asked, "When are these tests held?"

Xing Lan shook his head and said, "It is a walk-in thing. You show up, and they test you."

Shi Lang nodded and replied, "Thank you, brother."

Xing Lan shook his head and said, "Do not be so formal. I was like you three years ago when I came from the mountains. I also wanted to make a name for myself, and someone helped me. I was an Immortal General then, and now I am at the early stage of Immortal Lord. So, looking back, I decided I would help anyone with the same thought as me."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Xing. Please allow me to offer you this meal."

Xing Lan waved and said, "You three are new here. I may not be able to hold a big meal for you, so let me give this one treat to you as a welcoming gift."

After a few rebukes when the young man did not listen to them, Shi Lang had no choice but to follow his wishes. The meal was quick, and Xing Lan took his leave in the name of an urgent task.

Shi Lang and the two people spent the night in an inn. The terran kept his promise and got two clones out beside them. The two people sent him a spirit stone card carrying two hundred fifty top-grade stones.

Early morning, Shi Lang exited the inn and came to a store. Earlier last night, he had asked the innkeeper about a shop where he could find a spirit horse to travel the land. The innkeeper told him about a place called Heavenly Steed. They dealt with spirit horses, and the charges were affordable, too.

Shi Lang entered the shop and asked the shopkeeper, "Can I buy a spirit horse here?"

The young attendant was immediately alerted, and he stood up, adjusted his clothes, and said, "Sir, we have all sorts of spirit horses here. Please tell me, what sort of spirit horse are you looking for yourself?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "I would have said that I would like to buy out the best spirit horse in your stables, but I would like to ask you if I can get anything with a thousand medium-grade spirit stones?"

The young man was shocked, and then he said, "Sir, you have come to the right place. We have the best in quality Fire Heart Spirit Horse. This guy can run three hundred kilometers in a day and needs to rest for five hours before she is back on his feet and refreshed. If you are willing to feet this guy with any spirit pills, it can finish resting in just a couple of hours."

Shi Lang nodded and asked, "I will buy it."

The terran was not stupid. He had learned a lot of things during his time in the Spirit Heart sect. He knew what sort of a spirit beast the fire heart spirit horse was like. This was why he did not give away the chance to buy the horse. However, before the attendant could say anything, the shop door opened, and a young man walked in and said, "Xiao Lu, you have a Fire Heart Spirit Horse in the stables now. I am buying it. Bring me the deed."

The attendant\'s face changed, and Shi Lang looked at the newcomer. The attendant stammered and said, "Young Master Kim, this patron here has already confirmed the deal."

Young Master Kim was dressed in violet brocade robes, and his expression was extremely haughty. His cultivation was not strong, but Shi Lang did not wish to be entangled with this guy and said, "Attendant Lu, you do not have to worry about me. How can I not respect Young Master Kim\'s wishes? Young Master Kim, please go ahead. I do not have any interest in this spirited horse."

The young man was surprised, but then he smiled and chuckled. He said, "You are a wise man, brother."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "It is my pleasure to meet you, Young Master Kim."

The young man nodded, and Xiao Lu did not wait. He bought the deed, and Young Master threw ten top-grade spirit stones on the table and left to collect the spirit horse.

Shi Lang asked, "What other horses do you have?"

Xiao Lu hesitated and said, "Sir, I have only one horse left in the stable. The rest will arrive tomorrow. However, this spirit horse is not something anyone could get. We have sold it many times, and it has also been returned. The owner has said to sell this guy for ten top-grade or a thousand medium-grade spirit stones."

The terran asked with interest, "What beast is this?"

Xiao Lu said, "Lightning mane spirit horse."

Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, "Why has it not been sold then?"

The attendant said, "Sir, this guy is just a bit too rebellious."

Shi Lang chuckled and said, "Bring me to this guy, let me try my hand at it."
