Shi Lang entered the cave dwelling and made three blood clones. He sat on the ground toprehend Dao Laws, and nourish his Dao Flower, while at the same time, his clones began to practice the three techniques he had just acquired from the Sutra Hall.


    He has never used this skill of his much, but it increased hisprehension speed, and at this moment, this was the most needed thing. Time passed and Shi Lang grew stronger with each passing day.


    If other people were to see him, they would be shocked to see how quickly he was getting stronger. Shi Lang himself did not expect that after his visit to the Crimson soul abyss, his perception of Dao had be very acute. He did not care what was going on outside the cave.


    His aura grew thicker with each passing day. A month in the life of a cultivator was fleeting and for someone as focused on his growth as Shi Lang, even years could go by before he reaches a bottleneck.


    Shi Lang sensed someone outside the cave, and opened his eyes. He looked at his clones and waved his hands to dissolve them and assimte them back in his body. The experience they had umted and the skillprehension was inherited by Shi Lang. The Terran stood up and walked out of the cave.


    ...


    Outside the cave several young men and women were standing. They all have been cultivating outside the cave. Shi Lang came out and saw the scene and his eyes turned cold. The people were about to rush at him to challenge, when a guy yelled, "Stop! I will fight him to avenge the humiliation from the other day."


    Shi Lang looked at the man, and found him familiar. He searched his memory and recalled this was the guy he had an argument with on the Sutra Hall stairs. Shi Lang kept looking at him. The person came over to him and said, "You were quite a tough nutst time we met, do you still want to fight now?"


    Shi Lang took a deep breath and took out his war token. He said, "You should be aware of the procedure, right? Get on with it."


    The young man took a deep breath and then said, "Very well, you do have a set of balls."


    He poured his spiritual essence in the ck Dragon Token and said, "My name is Yuan Kai, I am a disciple of the outer sect."


    Shi Lang took a deep breath and said, "Can we fight somece else?"


    Yuan Kai nodded and led Shi Lang back to a big square outside the outer sect. The two people stood facing each other and an elder was standing beside him. Shi Lang took a deep breath and the elder stood around him, and said, "The rules are the same, are you ready?"


    Shi Lang took out his spear and nodded before the elder said, "Begin."


    The two of them vanished from their spots. In a blink, they shed at the air waves shook the void. The people took a deep breath, because Shi Lang''s power was on par with Yuan Kai. Even Yuan Kai himself was shocked at this. He did not expect for this young rookie to have such prowess.


    Shi Lang on the other hand was thinking about something else and trying to end this fight. He knew that the advantage would notst for long time. Shi Lang retreated half a step and said, "Heavenly snake slithering in the woods."


    His spear gave an impression of a golden snake that slithered through the forest and struck Yuan Kai repeatedly from all sides. The people were surprised and someone analyzed the situation and said, "Damn this guy, he is quite smart."


    Another guy nodded and said, "Indeed, if he did not fight with his best and quickly, then his advantage will disappear. Senior Brother Yuan Kai will have an upper hand for as long as he could oust this barrage."


    The analyst shook his head and replied, "Do you think if it were that simple for us to oust him, why would he have a War Token? The technique he is using belongs to the Sutra Hall. He must have acquired it a month ago. Watch his attacks carefully, he is moving very quickly and every move is getting sharper and stronger."

    In the ring, Yuan Kai was feeling pressured, and Shi Lang narrowed his eyes as he stopped breathing and said, "Lightning fists."


    He flung his spear in the void and then dashed closer to Shi Lang, his fists turned into after images as they rained on Yuan Kai. Thetter sneered and said, "You think you could do better in close quarters? You gave up your spiritual weapon to fight but only to lose the match."


    Shi Lang watched the guy looking in his eyes and he cast Shura Realm Illusion. Yuan Kai smirked and stopped fight. In his mind, he defeated Shi Langpletely, but suddenly he woke up from a cold sensation on his neck. He looked down and eximed, "How?"


    Shi Lang did not reply to him and said, "Elder, is this enough?"


    The old man nodded and said, "Winner, Shi Lang."


    Everyone was looking at Shi Lang as if they had seen a ghost. The Terran had no intention of exining how he won the fight. Yuan Kai was standing in his spot and he mumbled, "How did it be like this? I won the fight."


    Yuan Kai was in disbelief and he turned to look at Shi Lang who said, "For the next month, please do not gather around my cave, I am not going anywhere, and fighting you is the only thing that I have to do for the next few months. I will not run away, I hope you all just do not hinder my cultivation by sucking up all the spiritual energy around the cave."


    The people were surprised, someone yelled, "What? Are you calling us all thieves?"


    Shi Lang looked at the person and said, "I wasn''t but now, I am calling you an idiot and if you are unhappy,e, I will fight you and I will beat you. The loser will run around the sect naked. Dare you ept?"


    The person was angry but then he fell silent, because Shi Lang did not leave him an option. If he was to ept the fight, he might lose, but if he did not, then he would appear to be a coward. He fell silent after this.


    Shi Lang thought for a minute and said, "If you are all done, then I shall go back to cultivate."


    The disciples were still trying to figure out how he won the match. Shi Lang did not care about it though.


    ...


    Cao Ming was sitting in the valley sipping on tea, and a youngdy appeared next to him. She bowed and said, "Master, he won the battle."


    Cao Ming nodded with a smile and said, "I know what is going on with Xiao Lang. However, he is still young, he has a lot to learn."


    Thedy nodded and said, "He is close to the perfection realm in both his attack techniques."


    Cao Ming nodded and replied, "This kid merged two techniques for spear and sword together and used it to overpower his opponent with them. His quick thinking to cast the illusion is also good."


    Thedy nodded and replied, "I had no idea if he would be able to pull it off, but he sure is a smart cookie."


    Cao Ming smiled and said, "My disciple is not a normal person, Xiao Mei. Well, for the next ten months, until he is leaving the sect for a mission, you don''t have toe and report to me about it."


    Thedy nodded and vanished from her spot. She was a Dao Empress, and her aura was much more condensed than Lao Yuesha. Cao Ming was about to go back to his tea when an old man appeared beside him.


    Cao Ming said, "Sword Elder, don''t even think about it. I will not yield my disciple to your training."


    The old man sighed and replied, "Holy Elder, this kid can do great deeds for the sect."


    Cao Ming rolled his eyes to him and said, "You can go and seek him, if you can convince him, then it is fine with me. However, I am warning you, don''t get your hopes up."


    The man smiled and chuckled as he said, "Hahaha, Holy Elder, I will get that child to side with the sword hall."


    Cao Ming raised his cup and said, "Yes, try your best."


    ...


    Shi Lang was unaware about it all, he was currently sitting in his cave,prehending more of his Dao Laws. He did not know that he was about to be visited by someone really troublesome.


    Within just a few minutes he entered deep meditation stage when suddenly the formation around his cave was disturbed. He opened his eyes with cold and rage flowing out of them.
