Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 321 For The Future.

321 For The Future.

Shi Lang dropped off Martha and after a few words, he left for his own home. As soon as he got off and stepped inside the house, his mother shot him a glare and asked, “Today is a holiday. Where have you been?”

The young man sat down on th couch and said, “To locate Tao’s parents.”

This simple line, made the people open their eyes wide and they fell silent. Shi Lang looked at them and said, “Did you all think that the child came to this world out of thin air?”

Luna sighed and said, “Brat, it is not that but I did not expect you to look for her parents. In the past few days this child seem to have become a part of our lives, and now the thought of letting her go, it is somewhat scary. After all, my own son has decided not to give me a grandchild.”

Shi Lang held his forehead in his palm and said, “Mom, you know it is not like that. Can you stop the mellow drama, I had a busy day, and now, I am even doubting if the Terrans have any humanity left within them.”

Luna realized that her son was serious at this time. She asked, “Son, what happened?”

Shi Lang leaned back in the couch and staring at the ceiling he said, “What sort of trauma will make a mother hate her child to the point where she cannot wait to kill her? Why can humans not look at the fact that whatever she suffered it had nothing to do with that poor child? A human being is born in the world carrying the weight of their deeds in the past lives. If that is not enough, they are born to people like these who would do target their hatred on them.”

Luna and John understood that it was probably the mother of the child that wanted to kill her. after a few minutes, Shi Lang calmed down and Luna asked, “What did you do to the mother after finding this out?”

She worried if her son killed Alicia, even if she did not know anything about the situation, she did not want her son to spill blood when off duty. Shi Lang shook his head and narrated the complete incident to them. The two elders were surprised at this and could not help but sigh. They pitied Tao for being born to such a mother. At this moment, they had decided to spoil the little girl. Luna was just thinking about it when Shi Lang raised his hand and manipulated his communicator to call Amelia.

The people saw his movements but they did not know what was going on till their daughter-in-law picked up the connection request and Shi Lang said, “I want to adopt Tao into our family.”

He did not ask her for permission and simply stated his desire. Amelia was surprised and then asked, “Although I do not have any problem with that, but can you please tell me what made you jump to the conclusion so fast?”

Shi Lang nodded and told her the results of his investigation and after digesting the news Amelia said, “Give me five days, I will deal with the assignment at hand and then come back to see through the procedure of her adoption.”

Shi Lang nodded and then after enabling the privacy mode, he discussed about her circumstances and the matters of the assignment. Only when he concluded that the team and she were covering every point possible, he let go of his anxious heart. He did not intend to barge into their work, but he still had to ask them about their safety.

After the call was disconnected, he sighed and went to his room. Tao was out with Mila and her husband, roaming around to see that it was ‘bad’ to get out at night. Mila wanted her to be a princess, who had virtue to stay at home and sincerely practice her cultivation. So, when she grows stronger and go out of the house, the whole world knows about her and not daring to offend her.

By the time they got back home Shi Lang was already in his room and was cultivating. He was making plans for not only Tao, but also his future. There will come a day when he will have to move on to the next endeavor and for that he will have to make arrangements for this.

Shi Lang will leave Tao and the rest of his students to deal with the people below. He will make sure that his decision will help the federation reach a new level in the galaxy. Only with constant improvement can a civilization improve.

He was the last person to almost cross over to through the barrier of worlds, but this time, he wanted to be the pioneer of this new age. The next few days played out very plainly and Shi Lang was having an easy time, until he found that Quo Lina has been challenged by a student in the advanced class.

His class neither belonged to the technical branch, nor to the battle class. Thus those students in the specified classes were really envious of the problem class for getting Shi Lang, the idol of their lives to be spending his teach guiding this bunch of trash personally. They wanted to do something like this for a long time and teach the problem class a good lesson.

Hearing the news Shi Lang walked inside his classroom, but found that the students did not show any anxiety on their faces. He could not comprehend, whether these guys were confident or were putting up a façade in front of him. If they were acting, then he should give them an award for this. He asked, “I heard about the challenge been made, how are you going to face it?”

Quo Lina stood up from her seat and said, “Teacher, I broke through to star-level three last night, the challenge is tomorrow, I am confident in winning against her.”

Shi Lang scrutinized her and nodded, then he said, “Congratulation on advancing, but do not look down on the advanced class students. They are all geniuses, while you all are the troubled ones. After the class, the party will be postponed till tomorrow, we will feast after the challenge.”

Theseus asked, “Teacher, you will be guiding Quo Lina personally today, right?”

Shi Lang nodded and asked, “Why? Is there a problem?”

Theseus shook his head and said, “We wanted to ask you if we can go to the training room and you can teach Lina here inside the classroom.”

Shi Lang thought about it and nodded, he understood that these guys were all inspired by Quo Lina’s advancement and did not want to dampen their spirits. He said, “It is good to be motivated, but make sure that you keep things in check.”

The class nodded and they moved out of the room. Shi Lang closed the door and sat on the teacher’s table. He beckoned for Quo Lina to sit in the front seat. The girl shifted her seat and Shi Lang asked, “What is your special ability?”

Quo Lina had impeccable trust in Shi Lang and said, “Teacher, I awakened my ability yesterday night and it is an optic ability, though I do not know what it should be called.”

Shi Lang nodded and asked, “What does it allow you to do?”

Quo Lina said, “I can seek glimpses of specific targets, however, it is all a blur.”

Shi Lang pursed his lips and said, “This ability cannot be used in short term, but when it is developed well, things will turn around for you. Now, focusing on the challenge you have to face tomorrow, have you done any homework?”

The girl nodded and said, “Theseus passed me a bunch of videos he dug up about the challenger.”

Shi Lang nodded, and the two began to look at the videos together. They studied the opponent, and the ability used by the person. Then they devised a strategy to ensure the win. After spending a couple of hours, Shi Lang guided the girl to consolidate her foundation and get familiar with the changes in her body.

The other party was a grade four challenger, and Shi Lang could tell that Quo Lina was being under estimated. He was patiently teaching Quo Lina to expose this loophole exposed by the enemy. Then he took her to the training room and personally sparred with her to teach her the subtle tricks she needed in the battle.

The day passed rather quickly and the class moved together after the school came to an end. Theseus sneakily went around the group and handed the mind comms to Shi Lang. The young man was smart and reliable so Shi Lang said, “Tell Quo Lina to not fret about the consequences of the battle.”

Theseus nodded and said, “I understand, Teacher. Do not worry.”

Shi Lang nodded and stopped walking, as he watched the people moved on their own. He mumbled, “For the future.”
