Chapter 920: Naughty Lang.
Shi Lang had just finished storing up the corpses of the beasts he had killed when Yang Xiaoling walked over to him with Yang Harwing. The Terran asked, "Is there anything left for me to do?"
Yang Xiaoling shook her head and said, "Daoist Shura, do you know about Hunters?"
Shi Lang took a moment and then shook his head as he never knew about the hunters they mentioned. Yang Harwing pitched, "Hunters are the individuals who dwell across the realm and tackle the ten thousand races."
Yang Xiaoling said, "To join the ranks of the hunters, you would need to travel to the Frontier City where the Council Headquarters is located."
Shi Lang asked calmly, "Why do I need to take a test?"
The girl replied, "It is necessary to take the test to prove that you can stay safe while hunting this creatures. While the Council needs help to contain them, human lives are still precious."
Shi Lang thought and asked, "What are the benefits?"
Yang Harwing smiled and said, "If you pass the test, you will start from the bottom of a bronze rank. The ranks go up to the Adamantine level, and the benefits change with your promotion and depending on the creatures you have killed."
Shi Lang nodded, and said, "Frontier City. Right?"
The two nodded and Shi Lang said, "I will go there when I can, thank you for telling me all this. I have to report back to the hall. Can you sign the scroll?"
The two people nodded, they were the ones who placed the request and so, when Shi Lang had finished helping them, they would need to leave a seal imprint as a proof of their acknowledgement. Yang Xiaoling left her blood imprint at the bottom of the scroll.
Shi Lang said, "Thank you, goodbye."
Then, he turned around and walked away. Yang Xiaoling and Yang Harwing sighed and the latter said, "He sure has a strong guard."
Yang Xiaoling smiled and said, "It's not a problem, after all, in this world we all have to be wary of everyone, who knows when your best friend or family takes up arms against you?"
The young man nodded and they began to clean up the scene.
...
Meanwhile Shi Lang withdrew his clones, and left the place on his lev bike. He travelled for three days and reached the Eastern Haven City. He made his way to the Bright Moon Pavilion and found Marissa behind the counter. She asked, "You finished the task within seven days, not bad."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Can you bring me to submit the results?"
The girl nodded and then led him to the business chamber of the Broken Moon Hall. Shi Lang submitted his findings and asked, "Can I submit the corpses of the ten thousand races here?"
The clerk behind the desk was surprised and then she spoke suggestively, "If you are okay with turning them in for contribution points, than I can help you but if you want materials then you would need to go to the merchant alliance. The control over the ten thousand beast trade is very strict."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "I would like to exchange eight Barbarian Wolf corpses for contribution points."
The clerk nodded before her eyes widened and before she could ask him if he was telling the truth, the young man took out the corpses and placed them on the side. Immediately the people inside the business hall began to whisper about him. Marissa was also shocked, because she could see that the creatures were slayed in one blow, a straight stab to the heart piercing through the back.
She had only one thought about this, and that was Shi Lang had gotten stronger. Well, if she knew that he used his brain and not utmost strength in this confrontation, then she might have wanted to open the Terran's skull and see what goes in there to come up with such moves.
...
Shi Lang ended up with eight hundred points and he left the business hall. When he was walking out of the Bright Moon Pavilion, he met Lao Yuesha, the lady smiled at him and said, "For a moment, I could not recognize you."
Shi Lang smiled and took of his helmet to greet the lady. She asked him about the current situation and Shi Lang told her that he will be heading out for an year and get stronger. Lao Yuesha remarked, "Indeed it is important that you go out and learn about the world before you raise trouble."
Shi Lang understood her and smiled. She was telling him to gather information about the Juan Family of the Verdant Green Holy Land. After a small talk, Shi Lang left the pavilion, and turned to gaze toward the direction of the Martial Spirit Hall. Lou Shin appeared beside him and said, "I have told the Holy Elder that you intend to go and test for the hunter test, he said you can do what you want.
It is your path."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "I knew this, why did you go to Master?"
Lou Shin was left baffled, this guy really acted as if he did not care about Cao Ming's opinion. To be honest, Shi Lang really looked up to Cao Ming, because that middle-aged man was the most powerful entity he has ever come across in his life. His opinion did matter but he did wish for Lou Shin to have the satisfaction of helping him.
Shi Lang wandered through the marketplace and found himself a map of the place. The Terran then scanned the map with his communicator and used the satellite navigation to correspond his own position in the world. After confirming where he needed to go, the young man decided to leave the city, but then he stopped by a weapons store and bought a low grade sword.
It only cost him a few spirit stones, and the moment he came out of the store, Raksha asked begrudgingly, "Lang, why do you have another sword? Did I not love you enough? You two timing rascal!"
Shi Lang rolled his eyes and said, "I will ride this one."
Raksha covered her mouth with her pale hands and said, "How dare you? That is weapon abuse, you have turned into quite a spectacular scum."
Shi Lang stopped and said, "You don't let me ride you, so someone has to do the job."
Raksha blushed and said, "I did know you thought about me in that way, naughty boy."
The two bantered as the Terran left the city on his sword.
