Ace Of Terrans

After Shi Lang told Unity to deal with the old relics of the spirit beast community, he focused on the other things they needed to do. First, he prepared an array plate to control the teleportation array.

The procedure involved him carving a few runes on a metal plate and embedding it with small spirit stones. Once the spiritual energy is channeled through the plate, similar energy will flow through the array nodes.

To make this work, the array nodes must have similar runes engraved on them. Marly was beside him, watching the entire process. She was an aspiring array master. At the same time, the rest of the people were busy improving their cultivation or consolidating the base as much as possible. Shi Lang did not disturb the others but did all he could to go alone.

After completing the array, Shi Lang sat down with Allandale and discussed the issues with the new battle suit. First, the young sergeant complained that he could not find any array combination to help them block even one attack from Unity.

Shi Lang spent two days thinking about the plausible combinations he could develop, but the result did not vary. He concluded that nothing could be achieved by sitting in a closed room. He needed to come up with something out of the box.

He watched Tchal, Marly, and the others sparing with each other when suddenly, he recalled Shi Tao. The young general smiled and decided to give his daughter a call. The connection was established quickly, and Shi Tao's hologram appeared before him.

He asked, "Why are you wet, Tao?"

Shi Tao smiled brightly and replied, "Baba, I beat a guy twice stronger than me."

Surprised, Shi Lang said, "Congratulations, tell me how you did it?"

Shi Tao chuckled and said, "I am a genius. I used the hard and soft principles you taught me when that person attacked me. However, as the intensity escalated, I realized that my push was also getting stronger. The body absorbed the impact and channeled it back to the enemy."

Shi Lang nodded, and at this moment, something clicked in his mind. He widened his eyes and bit a big smile. Then, he said, "You are indeed a genius, my love."

Shi Tao smiled, and the two chatted briefly before the little girl took off. She was still practicing, and it was a busy schedule. Shi Lang also did not stop her because he had his things to do.

He stood up and walked back inside the lab. Then he began to draw a few array patterns on a piece of metal and tied it to his chest. Then, after a few adjustments, he walked out and said, "You guys, come here."

The call was meant for the young soldiers. They gathered before him quickly, and Shi Lang said, "Now, you will all use your best spiritual skill to attack me. Keep in mind the attack is only spiritual skills only. No phasers and no swords."

The people nodded, and they took stances. The reason was simple, Shi Lang was a man who could go against the heavenly lightning as if it was nothing, and they had complete trust in his skills. Another factor was that they all knew how weak they looked in front of this guy. He was indeed too strong for them to deal with.

The people took deep breaths, and Tchal said, "Attack simultaneously and do not hold back."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "That's how I like it."

They all mobilized their spirit energy, and then with a soft snort, they shouted, "Sun Fist, Heavenly mountain slam..."

The attacks were filled with a variety and lethal damaging potential. If these attacks were to be faced by someone from their level, these five guys would win. Shi Lang was just slightly approving of their skills, and that was all.

The attacks collided with his chest piece and vanished. Yes, they disappeared as if they were never made. Shi Lang did not reply to the people and turned around to face a different direction before a strong flow of spiritual energy erupted from the chest plate. The recoil was so strong that Shi Lang had to take half a step back to stabilize himself.

It was like a beam of spirit energy targeted at the world scenery to cause destruction. Shi Lang smiled after the attack was finished and said, "Haha, it works. Time to improvise this piece."

Then he returned to the ship and said, "Good work, kids, keep it up."

However, the five minions gazed at the ravine Shi Lang left before them. The entire landscape seemed to have been hit by a phaser beam that evaporated everything that stood in its way. A few moments later, Amelia and the rest arrived to ask them what had happened.

Allandale narrated the incident, and the three people returned to their cultivation as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

...

Inside the lab, Shi Lang was busy engraving every piece of armor with the combination of arrays, and he also created channels on the suits so that the release point was different and the output was further controlled.

This was going to play a crucial role in the battle. Imagine if the youngsters were to face anyone with higher cultivation, they would be able to stand a chance with this array. Another thing that Shi Lang did was to use smaller array patterns. The larger the way, the more isolated the result will be.

He wanted to control things as much as he could. One aspect of this arrangement was that facing multiple attacks was not very durable. If the main instigator of this entire conspiracy fights with Shi Lang head-on, this array might not last for more than three blows.

Shi Lang was worried about this aspect only. It will be deadly if he does not last long enough for the old relics to arrive. He may be a Mahayana realm practitioner, but he still lacked strength.

...

Three days passed before Shi Lang finished engraving the array patterns. Everyone was gathered on the command bridge when he came out of the lab. Shi Lang asked, "What is happening?"

Unity replied, "We received news from Darcx. This guy surely outdid himself this time."

Shi Lang raised his eyebrow and asked, "What did he do to make you compliment him like this?"

Amelia stepped up and said, "He set the teleportation formation inside the room of the young master. It opens directly inside the main family residence."

Shi Lang was surprised and exclaimed, "What the fuck. How did he pull this off?"

Jenkins sat on the side with his feet over the table and said, "He was learning these things in the secret divisions."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Shall we set course to the planetary body around?"

Hayley clicked her tongue and said, "Yo, calm down, Master Ace. Do you know that the enemy has been scouting all the planets in their territory, and the meteors are being destroyed like nothing else? So no wandering cosmic bodies are allowed in the solar system."

Shi Lang slumped his shoulders and asked, "Then why are you all looking so jubilant?"

Unity rolled her eyes and said, "If only you had been out here these past few days."

Shi Lang sat on the chair and said, "You better tell me what is happening. I am getting pissed."

The people nodded, and Unity said, "Well, the old relics have decided to step forward and help us if we face the master in the shadows."

Shi Lang smiled and said, "Well, good for them."

Unity chuckled and said, "They almost blew a gasket on the coward remark."

The people nodded, and General Shi Lang said, "Let's go. The war awaits."

The team sprung into action. Nile and Eline took the stations, and Tchal sat on the gun station while Allandale managed the comm links. Hayley sighed and said, "Oh, it feels so good to have a back seat. No wonder Shi Lang was always hurrying to move up the ranks."

Amelia chuckled and said, "Well, so much for playing the Ace of the Civilization."

Shi Lang rolled his eyes at them and said, "Stop being jealous of me, slackers."

The people chuckled at him, and the ship moved through space.

...

Darcx was meditating with his eyes closed when someone approached him, and the young man opened his eyes. He stood up with a flattering smile and bowed to the visitor. He said, "Young Master, what made you come here? You should have called me over."

The man chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "No, I just wanted to check if you are living okay. Also, I do not consider you as a subordinate anymore, Hall. You have been a brother closer than the rest of my siblings. I think my entire life has changed."

Darcx shook his head humbly and said, "Young master, you flatter me."
