Shi Lang surprised Crystal and the lady said, "Boss, your realm is early Nirvana. That sort of expert is not easy to find."
Shi Lang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I will not use my spirit arts, and just fight with my physique, and I can limit my output to match the realm of my opponent."
Crystal thought about it and said, "Boss, why don't you wait here, and I will go and talk to the people in the administration office. I will make things clear to them."
Shi Lang nodded and just when Crystal was about to get out of the box, he said, "Contact that Killer Bride."
Crystal was confused but then she nodded. It was not unusual for high-ranking people to take a liking to an impressive warrior. She was not a fool to not understand what was going on inside Shi Lang's mind. This young Terran was already thinking about integrating two worlds together.
She left the room, while Shi Lang began watching the ongoing battles with great interest. He was trying to figure out how the spirit beasts performed. The movements of these warriors were different from the Terrans. These guys were not afraid to make big moves, and wide punches were thrown regularly.
Shi Lang did not underestimate them, after all, the wide punches were accompanied by suffocating air pressure. His blood was boiling and he almost could not stop himself from rushing down there and taking on a challenge.
More than fighting it out and getting a feel of the strength of the people, he wanted to make the spirit beasts understand, that a Terran was not weak. This way the two races will have better respect for each other, and the chances of discord will be greatly reduced.
Shi Lang knew that the spirit beasts acknowledged those with strength. He wanted to show them his strength, and that too at their home ground. Three more fights were held, all ranging from ten to fifteen minutes, filled with intense competition.
Just when Shi Lang was about to contact Crystal, the door was opened and the princess walked inside. The lady said, "Boss, I have registered you, but they will ask you to wear a spirit limiter. This will assure that the strength is contained within the range of your opponent."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Finally, come let us go to the gathering area."
The lady shook her head when she saw his excitement and after a few minutes, the two arrived at the gathering area. There were a lot of people gathered there, and Shi Lang was very curious about them.
Just when Shi Lang was about to ask about the Killer Bride, a staff member came over to them and then handed Crystal a thick bracelet. The princess nodded to the staff member and said, "Boss, this bracelet will limit your spirit energy circulation. The limit can be changed according to the situation."
Shi Lang nodded and asked, "How is this thing controlled?"
He asked because he was looking at the bracer but there were no buttons and controls visible on the surface of the bracer. Crystal said, "This bracer is controlled by the administration office, I will make sure that things proceed fairly."
Shi Lang gave her a smile and said, "They can try playing foul with me."
Crystal shivered from the cold murderous vibe from his smile. She did not expect him to be so murderous even when he was inside the domain of the beasts, that too with the council present in the city.
Shi Lang tied the bracelet on his wrist and waited for his duel to be fixed. It did not take long for the staff to arrive. A butler arrived and said, "Your Highness, the duel has been arranged. An announcement will be made shortly, according to the details you provided."
Crystal nodded and then Shi Lang was taken to the entrance of the ring. The announcer was informed through remote communication and when she was given the details, her eyes opened wide and then she said into the mic, "We all have heard the history, of how humans and spirit beasts live on the same planet, competing for supremacy. What if I told you that those humans in the legends exist."
The crowd was confused when the announcer mentioned legends and humans. An old spectator said, "Yo! Xiao Ling, what is this with the humans and the legends."
Announcer Xiao Ling chuckled and said, "Today, first time in history, a Terran, the successor of those humans, has stepped on the grounds of the Citadel."
This shocked the people, and soon they began talking to each other, and Xiao Ling said, "This Terran wants to test his hands against the young talents of the Citadel. What do you think? Shall we do it?"
The people were suddenly hyped up, they did not expect such a thing. They all began to cheer, when Xiao Ling said, "Please welcome, the first Terran to fight in an Arena. Shi Lang."
Shi Lang walked in from the entrance of the arena. He was dressed in his black and red tactical suit. His strides were calm and his gaze was sharp. He walked closer to the announcer and nodded to her.
Xiao Ling asked, "Contender Shi Lang, I must say that it is a very weird nickname you have."
Shi Lang could not help but chuckle and said, "This is my real name, I prefer to act low-key so I did not give in to my nickname."
Xiao Ling was surprised and asked, "Pardon the intrusion, but I would like to ask, what is your nickname?"
Shi Lang said, "My nickname is Ace."
The crowd was stunned and then they all erupted into boos. Shi Lang shrugged his shoulder at the announcer and said, "See, I told you it was not a good idea."
The announcer was taken aback, she did not see any vexation on his face. She thought, 'Either he is very composed, or his acting skills are very high.'
She nodded and then said, "Now, let me call over the opponent, who will give you a glimpse of the strength of the Spirit Beasts."
Shi Lang nodded with a faint smile and then watched Xiao Ling say, "The opponent who will face the guest from afar, is Valkyrie."
Shi Lang looked confused while the crowd cheered hardest. Xiao Ling said, "You might not know what is going on here, but allow me to tell you that Valkyrie is the champion of the arena.
She fights under the banner of the administration. She is known for her skills with war axes. Her cultivation realm is the peak of core condensation. What about you?"
Shi Lang replied, "I am at early nirvana realm, but the administration has given me a realm limiter, if that is what this bracelet is. As for weapons, I can use all the basic weapons."
The people became curious and so was Xiao Ling. She did not expect this young man to be this strong. However, if he was going to use the limiter then she did not have to worry.
Shi Lang looked at the other side, and found a lady dressed in a silver armor walking in the ring. She carried a war ax in her hand while another one was tied behind his back. She had silver hair and blue eyes.
Shi Lang clicked his tongue and said, "To think I will get to meet a descendant of the heaven striding Stallion right off the bat."
Xiao Ling was surprised and commented, "To think you are so well versed about the beast species."
Shi Lang shook his head and said, "You are exaggerating. The heavenly species all have a strong aura around their bodies."
Xiao Ling nodded and then she said, "I will now go to the viewing station the ring is left to you. I assume that you both are already familiar with the rules."
Shi lang and Valkyrie nodded and then Xiao Ling vanished from her spot. The two people stood facing each other, and Shi Lang cupped his fist and said, "Greetings."
Valkyrie did not reciprocate his greeting but flicked her ax. The Young Terran had no scurples and smiled. At this moment, Xiao Ling said, "Begin."
The lady charged at Shi Lang with her ax, the young man on the other hand was standing calmly. Just when the lady was five meters away from him, Shi Lang took a half a step forward and then leaned his body to the side, cleanly avoiding the slash coming at him.
Then the back of his right hand smacked the battle ax to the side and in a continuous motion, his right palm made a quick contact with her throat. The breathing was disrupted and without giving any chances to regain control. Shi Lang's leg hit her right in the abdomen like a whip.
The impact sent Valkyrie flying in a distance, and she bumped three times on the ground before she stopped. The entire ring was silent at this moment.
