Shi Lang woke up from his sleep, while Cao Ming and the two were watching his life sh before them, he was fighting people and gradually bing stronger in his dream. He also realized many things that could be improved, throughout the dream he was aware that everything around him was an illusion.


    When he woke up he found Cao Ming looking at him with a smile. The man said, "While you were facing the illusion, we were watching your lives most important moments shing before us. Do you have a problem with that?"


    Shi Lang was surprised, but then he nodded slightly, and Cao


    Ming asked, "Why don''t you say anything?"


    The Terran replied in a calm tone, "You are the stronger one, I am not of the same status, in this world only the strong can express their anger."


    Cao Ming nodded and asked, "If you were stronger than me what would you do?"


    Shi Lang thought for a bit, and replied, "I would go for the kill."


    Only Cao Ming out of the three was calm. Who asked, "Would you not worry if I have a strong force behind me?"


    Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "If I could not teach a lesson to someone who disrespected me and is weaker than me, then what is the point of all this strength? If more people are toe after me, then let it be. There are many ways to die, and dying while fighting for what you believe in is the best."


    Cao Ming smiled and asked, "I have one more question for you."


    Shi Lang bowed his head, and Cao Ming asked, "Would you like to be my disciple?"


    The Terran was surprised and answered, "Sir, I acknowledged another master earlier in my life, if you don''t mind that, I would be obliged to be your disciple."


    Cao Ming replied, "Honest to the core. Of course, I don''t mind it, after all, on the path of cultivation we meet many people who teach us one thing or the other in some way. I don''t mind you having another master."


    Shi Lang nodded and knelt on the ground before he knelt to the man nine times. He did it because he believed in an idiom, Master for a day, father for a life.


    Cao Ming nodded and said, "Good, Instructor Luo will get you through the registration process and the regtions. Although I am the Holy Elder and you are my direct disciple, you won''t get a single special privilege until you show that you are worthy of them."


    Shi Lang nodded, he was a soldier and even when he cultivator, he knew that everything can only be attained by his own effort.


    Lou Shin gestured for him to follow her out of the valley, when


    Cao Ming waved his hand, and said, "I see that youck martial arts and spirit techniques, after the registration, Lou Shin will take you to the sutra hall, take this token, you would be able to select one movement skill, one sword skill and one spear skill."


    Shi Lang thought of something and said, "Yes, Master."


    Cao Ming replied, "Do not worry, no one in the Martial Spirit Hall will try to snatch your sword. You people have united on a higher level and cannot exist away from each other."


    The Terran nodded and bowed his head. Cao Ming gave him a ck dragon token and Shi Lang left the valley with Lou Shin. The muscr man looked at Elder San and said, "Xiao Jian, the rest is left to you."


    Elder San bowed and said, "Yes, your excellency."


    The chubby man left he ce quickly. Cao Ming looked in the void and said, "Brother, since you havee here, why do you hide?"


    A middle-aged man appeared in the void. He had a faint smile on his face and said, "I wanted to see who is this genius the entire sect is going on about. Are you sure you want to have him as your direct disciple? He is still in the Dao Soldier realm and will take a lot of time before you could pass him your skills and knowledge."


    Cao Ming smiled and said, "You saw his speed andprehension and you still doubt him. You have be very cautious."


    The two chuckled, and the middle-aged man said, "Well, what can I say, the world is changing and the forces in the west are trying to make moves. It is better to be cautious."


    Cao Ming hummed and poured two cups of tea as he said, "Xiao Lang is strong, and his resolve and hunger is what we need to ensure that the hall continues. Believe me, when I say, his fate is greater than anything I have ever seen. I could not see through it, and even if he walks on the edge of life and death, it might not be the end."


    The middle-aged man nodded and asked, "I wonder if that guy knew what it means to hold the ck dragon token in the martial spirit hall."


    Cao Ming smiled and replied, "I wonder if he would curse me after he finds out."


    The two men looked at each other andughed out loud as they sipped tea.


    …


    Lou Shin was walking ahead of Shi Lang as she said, "We will be going to the registration office. If you have any questions then ask or should I will tell you everything about the Martial Spirit Hall that you need to know."


    Shi Lang nodded and asked, "Instructor, may I ask you something?"


    Lou Shin nodded, and Shi Lang asked, "The purpose of this ck dragon token is not only just to get me to the Sutra Hall, is it?"


    Lou Shin smiled and said, "I did not expect you to figure it out that quickly. What do you think it is?"


    Shi Lang replied, "The ck dragon token is simr to what Elder San received earlier. I saw how it did not even hold it with a single hand. I could see how all the other people were looking at the token."


    Lou Shin nodded and remarked, "You have quite an observation."


    She continued, "The ck dragon token is the war token of the Martial Spirit Hall. The holder of this token will have to face challenges from the people who are one minor realm above him.


    The holder cannot refuse to the challenge. Although, it would be once a week, it would still be something that will make you feel the pressure. You won''t be able to enter seclusion easily."


    Shi Lang asked, "What does the winner get?"


    Lou Shin replied, "Guidance from the Holy Elder himself."


    Shi Lang nodded and said, "It is a chance worth fighting, but what about me? What do I get?"


    Lou Shin replied calmly, "You will get battle points. These points are different from contribution point, but they can still get you somethings that the contribution points cannot."


    Shi Lang thought and asked, "What is this something?"


    Lou Shin replied, "Legacy skills. However, that is something you will know after you have at least thousand battle points. If you lose even one challenge, your battle points will turn to zero. You will have to start from the bottom."


    Shi Lang nodded and did not say anything, he simply epted the fact that he would have to fight a lot of people.


    Lou Shin said, "You will have a separate dwelling, but your status will be that of an outer sect disciple. After you have reached the Dao Lord realm, you will be qualified to enter the inner sect. Also, if you want to pursue other skill branches like alchemy and such, you would need to go through a separate test."


    Shi Lang nodded, soon they reached the registration hall and the Terran sighed. The size of this ce was so grand that he had to move his ability at full capacity to be able to scan itpletely.


    Lou Shin bought him to a wooden counter and said, "Elder Ji, please register this disciple and give him the outer disciple robes and kit."


    Elder Ji was an old man who sat behind the counter, he was at the beginning of Dao Lord realm, however, he was quite ahead in his age. He looked at Lou Shin and nodded, before he took out a ledger and put in Shi Lang''s details after asking him. Then he took out a stone and said, "Leave a trace of your soul and true essence in this." Find adventures at mvl


    Shi Lang did as he was told, and then the old man gave him a jade te. He poured his spiritual energy inside the jade te and the old man carved his name on it. Elder Ji said, "It has been inscribed, here is the rule book, and the outer sect robes. One healing pill, and two spirit rejuvenation pills are given to you as a joining gift."


    Shi Lang bowed to him as he took the robes. Lou Shin said, "Put them on."


    Shi Lang nodded, he put on the robe, Lou Shin said, "Wear the token on your waist, it will is the rule you have to follow till you are inside the Hall."


    The Terran sighed and tied the ck dragon token. At this moment, Elder Ji opened his mouth and said, "Disciple Shi Lang has joined the Martial Spirit Hall, and he has acquired the war token."


    Shi Lang was shocked and so was the whole sect. The battle was about to begin.
