Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang and the rest of the people checked into the hotel, they rested for a bit before Shashi came back to take them to the entertainment district, and he also told them to be mindful of trouble and fishing in the muddy waters.

When they arrived at the entertainment district in the car, they found the place was bustling with activity more than the spaceport of this place. The entire district was glowing with bright lights. Shi Lang was not surprised but he was curiously looking around and found that a lot of things were going on there.

A lot of species were moving around and while some were captivatingly beautiful, some were weird and some were downright gross. However, nobody seemed to care about appearances. Shi Lang said, "Shashi, stop around here."

Shashi nodded and parked the car on the side, Shi Lang said, "Go out and explore. Stay in pairs."

That said, he got out of the car and Shashi quickly followed him. The rest of the team distributed in pairs and began to explore the place. Shashi was curious and asked, "Boss, why the sudden exploration?"

Shi Lang said, "The entire galaxy is here in the entertainment district of Blue star. I want to see if there are people with the presence of spiritual energy on those people. If we can find even one, then it will increase the chance to get further in our cultivation by going to that place."

Shashi was shocked, then he asked, "I see, but boss, what if the other party could sense the same? I mean what if they think that Terrans are good enough to play slave planet for the people with spiritual energy?"

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "We have concealment techniques, and even if they sense anything, it will be too faint to discern that we are cultivators. Chill, just follow me."

Thus, the two began to wander, Shi Lang had told the plan to the rest of the people earlier, and if they were to find something like a trace of spiritual energy running through the bodies of the people they saw on the streets.

By channeling the spiritual energy inside their eyes the Ace division can see the flow of spirit in the bodies and the world outside them. If the flow they spot is calm and smooth, they were not to approach.

Cultivators with higher realms and strength will have smoother and more precise control of their energies. While newbies will be vigorous and violent, these people were the ones they were looking for. These young people will be easy to befriend or monitor. However, Shi Lang did warn the team to make sure that there was no high-level cultivator around these youngsters.

After an hour, Shi Lang received a message, "Boss, we have a situation."

Shi Lang reacted quickly and said, "Shashi, I need to leave and regroup with my team, you come at your own pace."

Shashi nodded as he knew he will not be able to keep up with the speed of this man. After all, Shi Lang was too fast for him. Shi Lang also did not let down his expectations and moved through the crowd like a fish in the ocean. His speed was fast and the people only sensed a gust of wind passing between them.

He did not fly over and neither did he move too fast to disturb the serenity of the scene and also get noticed by strong people hiding in the chaotic place. When he reached a few blocks away, he found Jill and Sonic standing in a distance with the rest of the team. He walked over and asked, "What is it?"

Before anyone on the team could answer, Shi Lang heard a voice in his mind, "What are you looking for, Terran?"

Shi Lang looked around and his gaze stopped in the direction of an abandoned building on the corner of the crossroads. Inside the building, he sensed a being far stronger than himself. He replied, "I am looking for the traces of spirit energy, senior."

The reply was conveyed with thoughts as well. The other person replied, "Oh, someone with the knowledge of manners of the rivers and roads. Come inside junior, you are rather capable to have located me."

Shi Lang said, "You all stay here and do not make any ruckus."

That said, Shi Lang crossed the road and walked inside the derelict building. The place looked like a hall, and in the center of the hall, a middle-aged lady was standing. Shi Lang almost could not sense the spiritual energy flowing inside this lady and with his cupped hands, the young man bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior. I am Shi Lang."

The lady nodded and asked, "You can cultivate and your speed is not very bad compared to the fact that you did not cultivate most of your years."

Shi Lang replied, "You praise me needlessly, Senior. It was all a chance."

The lady nodded and asked, "So why are you looking for the spirit energy?"

Shi Lang sighed and said, "The energy on my planet is not yet enough to let me break through to high real of cultivation and with the entire civilization beginning to practice it will be even harder. I need herbs to increase the spirit energy in my nation."

Shi Lang did not lie to the lady because his senses were tingling, he sensed that if he lied, the lady will kill him. Hearing his words the lady nodded and asked, "Why did you not lie?"

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "Only a fool would lie in front of you."

"Oh! Why do you say that?", asked the lady.

Shi Lang replied, "You are strong enough that it feels like you can see through my soul casually. I do not wish to lie and risk my life."

The lady chuckled and said, "How very curious. To think someone like you will be born among the Terrans. Interesting indeed."

Shi Lang did not say anything and after calming down the lady said, "Well let me introduce myself, I am Cara Bayley, I belong to what may be called the Heavenly Fox in your language."

Shi Lang opened his eyes in shock and then said, "Pardon me senior, but may I ask if you have any connection to the ancient Federation?"

The lady nodded and said, "Yes, and no, my ancestors were the ones that could be said to have a connection, but we do not. It has been eons, since we visited that region."

Shi Lang nodded and suddenly said, "Indeed, I was correct, in ancient times, the war between the spirit beasts and humans was at its peak when the peak expert, sword god myriad, used a special array and sent away his companion to a distant planet along with almost all the strong beast experts."

The lady was surprised and said, "How do you know this legend? You are quite young and I do not think that the federation has kept any records of the past."

Shi Lang did not fluster, and said, "I have been enlightened after I started with my cultivation sutra. The major events were all recorded in this sutra and thus I happen to have some knowledge. This event was a reason that the spirit beasts were overwhelmed and began to live in hiding, gradually the spirit energy dried and the world lost the spirit energy completely."

Cara Bayley nodded and said, "Indeed, humans were drunk on power, and did not think of beasts as people with thoughts and emotions. So, what has changed?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "We are not humans anymore, we are Terrans. I have tried to integrate a few morals of the cultivation world into the civilization and the process is long but there is some effect. Slowly, the civilization will change and flourish."

Cara nodded and said, "If you say so."

Shi Lang nodded and asked, "If that is all, may I leave senior?"

Cara raised her brow and asked, "Will you not ask me to help you?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "If it was someone from the younger generation, I would have tried to negotiate, but I am not strong enough to make such a proposal to you."

Cara nodded in appreciation and said, "Very well, if you pass the test of the strike force then I will send my disciple to discuss things with you. No matter how far, we all are cultivators and our roots lie in the federation of today. Let me see if you are worth helping, Shi Lang."

Shi Lang nodded and after a bow, he left the building. He did not ask what this place was because after coming out he realized that his back was soaked in sweat. He regrouped with his team and said, "Let's go back, we will not find anything here."

The team found this awkward, but they all still moved along. Shi Lang turned and saw Shashi coming over with a confused face and asked, "What is that building?"

Shashi looked in the direction of the building and said, "You went in there?"

Shi Lang nodded and Shashi gulped as he said, "Let's go back. Now."
