Shi Lang and the team went back to their vehicle and they were headed to the hotel. The atmosphere inside the vehicle was tense as the young general had yet to say anything to the people. He was just staring at the void in a daze. Shashi also noticed something odd with his behavior and did not press the matter further.
Shi Lang had never been in a situation like this. They did not know that Shi Lang had just faced an horrifying existence. This existence was so strong that just a thought would have been enough to obliterate him along with his soul. The middle aged lady was simply too strong. Shi Lang could not sense a single spiritual fluctuation in her body, yet the surroundings inside the building were in her control.
Shi Lang raised his head and asked, "Shashi, who does that building belong to?"
Shashi gulped, he was really nervous and said, "That building belongs to the uncrowned king of the galaxy, those people are called the Heavenly Fox clan. Although they are called the heavenly fox, but they consist a lot of other beasts, they identify themselves as celestial beasts, they are born like any other beast, but then somehow they evolved into something very close to our skeletal similarities.
Another thing is that they still retain there beastly traits. They have strange powers, or so-called abilities that are exclusive to the beast species. The heavenly fox is their leader. They are not the strongest but the wisest and thus they are the leaders of the entire civilization that can challenge the big five at any moment, however, they lay low and do not interfere in any matter related to the galactic council.
However, a few years ago, they asked for a building to be reserved in their name, but not everyone was allowed to approach. Many hot blooded people tried to enter, but they could not even open the doors. You said that you entered that place, Boss, you are either lucky, or extremely unfortunate."
Shi Lang shook his head and said, "You probably did not understand what this encounter means and I am not in the mood to tell you anything at all. Drop us back, we have an exam to prepare for."
Shashi was scared off, the young general has regained his usual momentum and was intending to spike the exams. He turned to look at the team in the back and said, "I want you all to do your best tomorrow, and don't hold back shit. Do you understand? If I found any of you held back more than ten percent, I will have you all sent back to the Federation."
His words shocked the people but they could still sense the urgency in his tone and they replied with a nod. Since Shi Lang was so antsy about this, then they were going to do their best to win. The vehicle arrived at the hotel and the team got off.
Shi Lang entered his room and found that his communicator has received a call request from his home. He sighed and decided to call them back. The communication between space was now improved to the level it has risen to instant connection.
The call connected and Shi Lang saw Amelia sitting in her office, she asked, "What are you up to handsome?"
The young man sighed and said, "I just had the most bewildering encounter of my life."
Amelia raised her brow and asked, "What is that?"
He narrated the incident to her and Amelia said, "Did you say anything to anyone about this?"
-n0ve1、com Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I don't want to take any risk. Senior said that she will react based on my results. I have no idea what to do."
Amelia nodded and said, "Fine, you do that, I called you because Tao has been missing you."
Shi Lang nodded and asked, "Where is she?"
Amelia was about to reply when Shi Tao appeared in the projection and said, "Dad, you do not love Tao."
Shi Lang chuckled and asked, "Who said that?"
"Grandma said that, you did not call me once from the ship. You do not love me anymore.", replied the little girl.
Shi Lang smiled dotingly and said, "Baby, I fell into deep meditation. Dad needed to cultivate for this exam. I apologize, I will get you something you like."
Shi Tao still pouted at him and snorted, Amelia patted her daughter and said, "You can forgive him now. It is alright, he is busy."
Shi Tao snorted and after looking at her mother she said, "Fine, but you have to bring back a good dress for me. Also, I reached first level body tempering, so, I want a battle suit too, but mom said I am too young."
Shi Lang smiled dotingly and said, "Yes, I will get you everything you want. Do not worry. I will send it to you by post, because it is not yet sure when I will be able to come back."
Shi Tao sighed and said, "Can you try to come soon, I miss you."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "I will try my best to come back soon, I miss you too."
Shi Tao nodded and waved her hand before she ran away. She was sad and Shi Lang could feel this, Amelia also sensed this and she said, "I will talk to her, don't worry. Just focus on your test."
Shi Lang nodded and the call was disconnected after some small talk about the general situation at home and the workings in Federation. The young general sighed and calmed himself as he began meditating. The thoughts in his chaotic mind began to calm, as he began to comprehend the shura sutra.
...
The next morning, Shi Lang woke up as the door of his room was knocked. The young general opened his crimson eyes and stood up from the floor. He waved his hand and the door slid open. Jill and the rest of the team stood on the other side. Shi Lang said, "Go down, I will catch up."
The people nodded and left, Shi Lang took a quick shower and tied his sword to his back. At the door of the hotel, people gazed at the Ace division as they moved past them. The people were drawn to the aura radiated from the people. Some were wondering who they were, and some were thinking why this group was wearing battle armors.
Soon, Shi Lang arrived and looked at the side to find Shashi sleeping in the driver sit of the vehicle. Sonic let out a whistle and Shashi woke up in a fright, this was a sound attack. The ambassador glared at sonic but then he saw Shi Lang gazing at him as if a beast stalking its prey in the dead of the night.
He noticed the slight shimmer of crimson in Shi Lang's hair, and shivered. The team boarded the vehicle and then chubby man drove them to the Strike Force Tower. This was where the strike force operated from. Shashi bought them inside the tower after security check. They were allowed to take in their weapons when they showed the enrollment card in Shashi's custody.
The test area was located outside the main building, Shi Lang and his team stood in a neat column and with the other applicants. The ace division did not bother to check out the other people. None of the people in the room had spirit energy coursing through their body. They found a man in black and silver tactic suit coming over.
The man looked like a human, expect that his eyes were blue beads and his chin had triangular sharp stone-like spikes sticking out of it. The aura this man had was strong, however, Shi Lang and his team stood unfazed.
Jill said with her thoughts, "Boss, this man is not simple."
Shi Lang replied, "Yes, he is deliberately hiding his true strength. He is enough to compete with you to a tie."
Jill nodded, Shi Lang was able to see through the level of strength this man had, however, there was one thing that he did not tell anyone, he speculated that this man must be the so-called upper limit of the people in the big five civilizations.
He did not want his team to get cocky, the man stood on the podium and said, "You will get to know my name if you can pass the tests. Now, the first round is the comprehensive test, one by one pass through that door and follow the instructions of the staff. Your results will be showed on the bulletin here."
The people did not expect him to address them so simply, but this was to be expected, their chance to pass was too low in the eyes of the people here. The officer began to call names and the candidates started crossing the door one by one. The time gap between each of their name was roughly around a minute.
After the basic tests they all were sent to the obstacle course. Shi Lang waited for his name with patience. His aura was restrained and if not for the people around him, his presence might have gone unnoticed. The officer on the podium looked at him and mumbled, "Interesting."
