Shi Lang stood in the middle of the ring, surrounded by silence. None of the spectators expected this. The young Terran in front of them just dealt with the champion of the Core condensation realm in just three moves. Thinking about the scene from before, they all erupted in cheers.

Xiao Ling also woke up and said excitedly, “Lo and Behold, Valkyrie, the champion with a seven-win streak was dealt with three moves. This terran really gave us all an eye-opener today.”

The crowd was exhilarated, this was the first time they have seen an outlander deal with a champion and the excitement was not because they have seen this guy win, but because his performance made their blood boil.

When they were headed to the VIP box earlier, Crystal had mentioned that a truly skilled warrior in the spirit beast lineage might not appear in front of him. She was well aware of the caliber Shi Lang had and she was also aware of the people in the arena. There was no match that could make Shi Lang even break a sweat until someone truly nurtured by the twelve heavenly clans made a move.

Valkyrie was a low-level warrior of the Heaven-striding stallion clan, yet she was dealt in three moves. Crystal was watching the match unfold from the observation box reserved for the administrators and shook her head.

Crystal sighed and said, “Tex, do not underestimate him. You will suffer.”

Tex was surprised and then with a chuckle he asked, “So, even after knowing my skills, you are warning me?”

Crystal turned around to look at a young man with lean muscles, and a sharp face. This young man had sharp hawk-like eyes and short hair. His aura was very sharp, even when he was smiling he looked cold. The princess said, “It seems to me that the young master of the Heaven-soaring hawk clan has not gone out for the past few years. You do not seem to understand that there is a mountain above a mountain and a sky above the sky.”

Tex smirked and said, “What is it about this guy that makes you preach to me?”

Crystal smiled alluringly and asked, “How long will it take you to break through my charm spell?”

Tex shivered all of a sudden and his hand grasped the hilt of a long sword beside him and asked, “What are you thinking?”

Crystal chuckled and asked, “Answer the question, I have no intention of playing with you.”

Tex thought about it and said, “Probably an hour. Why do you ask?”

Crystal pointed at Shi Lang in the ring and said, “That Terran broke through my charm in a blink, even a second was not wasted. Do you understand why I am warning you?”

Tex was so shocked that he stood up from his seat and asked, “Are you serious?”

Crystal nodded and said, “This is why I have no problem calling him, Boss. His skills and mind earned my respect.”

Tex gulped and looked at Shi Lang with his eyes burning with curiosity. He said, “I want to fight him. If he can last for four more fights, I will fight him. Show him the power of an early nirvana-level spirit beast.”

Crystal was surprised, but she did not bother to warn him again. Tex was the young master of a heavenly clan, and he was the next in line to inherit the throne of the clan head in his family. At this moment, he was the person responsible for managing the arenas around the entire planet. His strength was without question one of the best.

Tex gestured for the person behind him and the message was passed onto the announcer.

…

In the ring, Xiao Ling walked down the viewing station and came to Shi Lang and asked, “I wonder if you are satisfied with a match, or would you like more?”

Shi Lang thought and said, “If anyone is interested in me, then I would welcome them.”

Xiao Long nodded and said, “Since you are ready, then allow me to call upon the next contender, this person is well known for his decisive moves, he is at the peak of the early level of the Primordial soul realm. This person used to be an inspector, but circumstances pushed him to use his skills in the Arena. We all know him as, the scholar of death.”

Shi Lang was amused by the names these opponents had. After a few moments, his eyes fell on a young man walking over from the other side with a gloomy aura surrounding him. Shi Lang raised his eyebrow when he saw that this person was in a state of indifference. This man wore a corporate suit and a pair of glasses on his eyes.

However, he was looking at Shi Lang as if he was looking at a dead corpse. Shi Lang smirked at this and calmed his thoughts. This opponent was interesting.

Xiao Ling said, “Shi Lang, your limiter has been adjusted, please channel your spirit energy to get a feel and tell me if everything is fine.”

Shi Lang followed the instruction and nodded. Xiao Ling said, “May the best man wins. I will now retire to the viewing station, please wait for my signal to begin the fight.”

Two men gazed at each other as they nodded. Xiao Ling looked at the two of them and said, “Begin.”

This time Shi Lang did not stand back, he walked toward the opponent, because the other party was also walking toward him. The opponent was using his spiritual pressure to suppress Shi Lang. This man seemed to have seen a lot of battles and was exuding his aura to overcome Shi Lang.

However, this man was underestimating the Terran a bit too much. Shi Lang sighed and said, “Since you are using spiritual pressure, let me use the same method to reciprocate.”

The man on the other side replied, “Feel free to do whatever you want.”

Shi Lang looked at the man with a straight face and said, “Emperor Steps.”

The next moment his aura changed completely, and then with every step he took, the pressure of the spiritual energy on the man’s shoulder increased. After Shi Lang took the seventh step, the man stopped walking.

It was as if he was frozen in his place, Shi Lang was still walking towards him, the eighth step made the man kneel, the ninth step made him use his hands to support his body, and the tenth step the man could not even raise his head to look at his enemy.

The crowd was silent, and Xaio Ling was standing with her mouth half open. She was surprised and shocked beyond her imagination. The impact was so drastic that she also forgot to commentate on the scene.

…

Inside the observation room, Crystal looked at the young man standing beside her and said, “Young Master Tex, do you understand now, why I warned you about him? He is the strongest Terran, and believe me, if the spirit beast clan tried to take advantage of him, we will suffer.

You can go and try to kill him right away, to stop him from growing into a nuisance for us, but I am sure he has some skill up his sleeve to foil that plan, and then when he returns, it will be the end of us.”

Tex looked at Crystal and asked, “Why do you think so? Do you think if those old people wanted to make a move against him, he will survive?”

Crystal nodded and said, “He might not survive, but if anything happens to him, the Terrans will not help us. They all know that the spirit beasts need their help with the so-called support streams. If you kill their hero, they will rebel, and their experts will do all they can to hinder us. I can sense your sword intent radiating from here and it is not a good thing.”

Tex held his forehead and said, “Say, what made you think that my excitement was actually my idea to kill him? He is a perfect rival to make me grow stronger. Why will I kill him? Ever since the bridge to heaven has broken. The progress of the people has stagnated, and we grow weaker every generation.”

Crystal was surprised to look at him, and said, “You think he can mend the heavenly bridge?”

Tex said, “I think, he can do it. There is something very profound about him. That move he just used, Emperor Steps. Do you not find it familiar?”

Crystal pondered for a minute and then she opened her eyes wide and said, “Is that not the skill that was lost from the Legacy of the Master?”

Tex nodded and said, “The legacy records mention that this move was missing from the entire set, given the deterioration the federation faced over the eons, there is no way they could have found this in some ruin. Interesting, right?”
