Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 699 Improvements.

Tian Long said, "I want to see how much he has improved."

Raksha replied, "You need to wait till the tournament. He will need time to adjust, too."

The sovereign nodded and said, "Now that the tribulation has ended, I will return. The old monsters that are paying attention will not make any moves now. So, you guys have nothing to worry about."

Raksha rolled her eyes at him. The meaning was simple: if anyone were to make a move on them, she would forcefully unlock her strength and kill them. However, she did not wish to argue with the old man.

Tian Long sighed at her expression and left the place through a void tunnel. Before leaving, Fairy Moon Jade passed Yun Xue with a pill that would help her restore her appearance to normal.

Yun Xue sat on the ground in a daze. She did not know if whatever happened was true or not. She raised her head and found Shi Lang slowly descending on the ground. His eyes were still closed, the crown around his forehead was glimmering, and his body was covered in an armor of lightning.

The combination of red and gold made him look very majestic. The armor of red lightning was a complete set, with greaves that would protect his legs, followed by cuisses to protect the thigh, layered with groin guards. His torso was covered with chainmail weaved with lightning, his hands were covered with gauntlets, and his shoulders had sleek pauldrons to protect him from harm.

The terran held two weapons in each of his hands, and as his hair fluttered in the win, he looked very valiant. Emperor Hell Flame asked, "This armor is so different, so unique."

Raksha smiled and said, "It is inspired by something the humans wore in his home world."

Emperor Hell Flame nodded and said, "It is an ingenious design. What makes me astounded is the chainmail. That thing around his chest comprises dao rules condensed and weaved together. It must be really strong."

Raksha nodded and said, "I wonder why is he not waking up yet?"

...

Shi Lang was standing inside his soul sea. He found that the landscape has changed beyond recognition. Earlier, the place was covered with grass and a twilight sky. However, now, it was filled with a sea of lightning, atop which flew a small island with a castle.

He did not know what to say at this point. His mentality has changed during the tribulation. The things he experienced in the past shaped his soul sea into a scene straight out of his fantasies. When he was a scavenger, he had bigger dreams. Those dreams drove him to do things, but he never regretted any of them because he knew why he did all that.

He sighed and said, "To think I will have to return to that time and find the means to survive the tribulation. Indeed, I have forgotten what I was. Even if it is my past life, it is my life. As long as I have memories, I am both the old and the new."

Shi Lang looked inside the castle and found it very similar to the place etched in his memory—where the human emperor left his inheritance. This place was where his life changed, where he found the heavenly artifact, ultimately saving his life.

After inspecting the castle, Shi Lang looked at the sky and found it filled with stars. Below the island, there was a boundless ocean, but it was flickering with lightning.

The terran sat on the ground and crossed his legs. Then, he began meditating to learn more about himself. As he concentrated, he found that his spiritual energy had become more unyielding. The vital tenacity of the energy was related to the change in his mentality at the end of the tribulation.

...

In the outside world, all the people stood around Shi Lang. The terran opened his eyes, and they flickered with red lightning. He was surprised to see so many people, but then he heaved a sigh of relief. Looking around, he found Raksha standing with her hands crossed before her.

She was gazing at him with great interest. He asked, "What are you looking at?"

The lady smiled and said, "I was thinking when we would be raiding anyone like you used to."

The conversation was made with spiritual communication, so the others did not understand. The terran smiled and shook his head as he replied, "Not for the time being. I need to get stronger and more used to this power."

Raksha nodded, and Shi Lang stood up from the ground. He looked around and said, "Brother Bo, can you return my device?"

Bo Qingtan woke up and quickly pranced to Shi Lang\'s side. The terran asked, "Have you said your goodbyes?"

When he heard this, the young man was shocked, but he said, "Give me a few minutes. I will see to it right away."

Shi Lang nodded and gazed at Yun Xue. With a helpless chuckle, he asked, "What are you looking at me in a daze for? Hurry. I do not wish to meet people who consume my time."

The people understood what he meant; the strong experts in the vicinity should be coming over to meet him, and Shi Lang considered that a waste of time. She nodded and returned to greet the people of her division.

Shi Lang took a moment to send messages to the three people and tell them about his safety. Who knows what the people on the other side were thinking now?

...

When the former received the message, Yang Niao and a few disciples were busy exploring a ruin. The pressure on his heart was removed. He typed a congratulatory message and informed the rest of the sect about the news. The people were genuinely happy.

Shi Lang was their leader, and not only did he give them direction to advance, but he also led them from the forefront. The sect prospered because of his guidance; the people were stronger and had regained sight of their ambitions.

...

In the Qiling City, Hao Mei meditated when she sensed energy gushing through the communicator. She raised her wrist hurriedly and was pleasantly shocked. The girl congratulated her master and rushed out of the room to find Yu Xiedi.

The younger disciple was anxious, so she decided to vent her energy on the dummies in the training field. She was moving around quickly and waving her sword to obliterate the dummy. Her aunt, Yu Mingxue, watched her in awe because she did not expect this child to be so talented and hard-working.

At this moment, Hao Mei rushed inside the garden and said, "Xiao Yu, Master succeeded."

Yu Xiedi stopped her sword, and Hao Mei nodded at her with a gentle smile. The two girls embraced each other, and Yu Xiedi also sent a congratulatory message to her master. Yu Mingxue was surprised, but she did not say anything. The first time they met, Shi Lang was in the middle stage of the Immortal Lord realm.

This speed of advancement was shocking. However, she did not think the terran ascended with an invincible crown. If she knew, she would faint from fright.

...

While everyone was happy, one more anxious soul moved around in her office. Ying Yu sat on the side, watching Amelia move and chew on her lip occasionally. Ying Yu sighed and said, "Amelia, calm down. I cannot understand why you are so anxious. He is strong enough to deal with the heavenly tribulation."

Amelia shook her head and said, "It is not that I do not trust him. I am just worried if his tribulation will be something he can tolerate. There are different grades of tribulation. What if the heavens tested him hard."

Ying Yu pinched her chin and said, "Why do you make it sound like the heavens have some unfinished business with him?"

Amelia rolled her eyes at her friend and said, "Sister Ying, do you know what he is capable of?"

Ying Yu nodded and said, "I did hear the news that he took down the Demon Kings, and his weapon also dealt heavy blows to the Demon Emperor. Is there more to it?"

Amelia sighed and said, "The tribulation will test his mind physique and dao rule comprehension. His weapons were designed by him only. What does that mean? His mind is also good, and not only his strength. Heavenly tribulation will be testing everything in one fell swoop. What do you think happens when a strong mind and strong body combine?"

Ying Yu stood up in surprise and said, "I did not consider that. It will not be a normal tribulation. What should we do?"

Amelia shook her head and said, "Nothing, all we can do is wait for his word. If that guy died, then I will revive his soul and then whip his ass."

At this moment, her spiritual communicator shivered.
