Chapter 402 Unity.

Shi Lang heard what Amelia said and he smiled as he said, "Very well then, go deal with it yourself."

Amelia revealed a faint smile on her face and then after a brief greeting to the dignitaries, she left the place. Tex and the rest of the young elites were surprised, and could not help but approve of the lady. They had all grown up surrounded by strong people, who believed in themselves and did not give up in the face of adversity.

The younger generation of the spirit beast community immediately reacted and they all approached the elders in charge and told him about the situation outside.

While Tex and his friends were convincing the elders to allow  for the duel. Shi Lang was visiting Shi Tao who was just discharged from the infirmary camp. He checked her body carefully and after confirming that there was no sequella left behind. he took the little girl to the valley, where the match will take place.

…

The Terran forces worked very efficiently and quickly platform was erected in the center of the pavilion cluster. the leadership of the Federation stepped forward and asked the spirit beast elders to proctor the match.

While the spirit beast elders were neutral in the situation, the federal forces supported their own. it could be because the elders of the spirit bees community had been long exposed to cultivation and had a longer life span and in front of them the populace of the Federation was young and ignorant.

After a few minutes, the two participants walked over to the platform and stood facing each other. The atmosphere was stressed, and the man from the beast community asked, "Why are you so adamant about going against me, Woman? What can you achieve in this dump?"

Amelia cast him an indifferent gaze and said, "What do I stand to gain and what I lose is not something you can understand. I only hope that you can keep your claims intact"

This was her usual behavior, she was calm and her eyes were glistening with confidence. Shi Lang looked at his wife on the platform and a faint smile appeared on his face, while Shi Tao clenched her fists.

The young general asked, "What is on your mind, Tao?"

Shi Tao replied, "This guy dared to harass mom, and then he attacked me. Such a shallow person is not worthy of competing with my mother on that platform."

She ground her teeth, the child was enraged to think that something like this would happen to her and that she will be powerless despite being one of the strongest of her age. Despite her upbringing of never thinking too highly of herself, she felt rather useless of herself.

Shi Lang patted her back and said, "Now that you have come to understand the importance of strength, you also need to understand that if it was someone righteous, they would not have attacked a child. People with twisted minds always use twisted methods to deal with the rest of the world."

Shi Tao nodded, however, her mood did not calm down.

At this moment, the man snorted and said, "The condition to stop the match is the same as the arenas, either one of us voluntarily concedes or we lose the capability to fight."

Amelia nodded and agreed to the terms. At this moment, Cara Baley, who was standing beside the few council members said, "I will be the presiding proctor. Do you both accept?"

The two people nodded, and the excitement began to surge among the crowd. Cara Baley looked at the two of them and said, "The grudge between you two is not so big that you resort to killing moves. If any of you violated this line, I will take action to save the victim and the culprit will be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the Arena. Is that clear?"

Amelia asked, "May I ask, what is the law of the arena, senior?"

Cara nodded and said, "Arena is a play to seek thrill and test yourself by the means of battle, however, it is all a gesture of good faith and learning from each other. Yes, sometimes the grudges between people run deep and they are allowed to use the life-and-death battle platform, but usually it is forbidden to attack someone with the intention to cripple.

Harming the other person in a manner where the future path gets obstructed will result in instant death. I wonder if that was sufficient for you to understand the essence of the laws?"

Amelia bowed slightly and thanked the lady, while the man in front of her snorted and said, "I am Tartara of the heavenly howling wolves. I dare you to come at me with all that you have."

The aura of the person changed and then he charged at Amelia, who said, "Lesson one."

Theseus stood in the stands and said loudly, "Never rush in without having an idea of what your enemy is capable of."

Amelia waited for Tartara to come close, the man was approaching her with his body leaning forward. As soon as he got close to the target, Tartara clawed at her throat.

The strength of the two people was at par with each other. Amelia had been working hard for the past few years now. Ever since the attack she faced with Shi Lang and almost died, she understood how important it was for her to be strong.

She knew that Shi Lang would one day achieve the peak of strength and she wanted to be there with him, not only in the capacity of a wife but a companion who could match his skills.

When Tartara clawed at her, Amelia leaned her head slightly to the back and turned her body sideways. The movement was too small, but it was efficiently controlled and the attack was dodged.

In the crowd, Jenkins sat behind Shi Lang and asked, "Why is she letting him take the initiative?"

Beside him sat another familiar face, Hayley Dupont, the lady said, "She wants to gather more data before jumping in. That is how she works."

Shi Lang nodded to Hayley's statement and looking at Shi Tao, he asked, "Tao, can you predict the following movements of that big man?"

Shi Tao nodded and said, "He will try to counter with a whip kick to his back. This will cancel his forward momentum and allow him a chance to gather his balance."

Shi Lang and the rest were watching the match and they found that Shi Tao was really predicting the moves. Before they could feel surprised, the girl said, "he made a mistake."

Shi Lang smiled and the people saw Amelia grabbing the leg, dispelling the whip kick, and then her own leg hit the target hanging between the two legs of the man.

The crowd gasped and the men clenched their butts. Amelia sighed and shook her head as she said, "Lesson two."

Vanessa replied, "Never hesitate from exploiting a chance presented by the opponent even if you seem shameless. Pride wins glory while victory allows survival."

Amelia nodded and took a few steps back, letting Tartara grovel on the ground and she looked at Cara Baley, who said, "Winner, Amelia Knight."

The crowd clapped and a few of the spirit beast elite discussed among themselves. Just when the few youngsters wanted to exchange martial notes, when Cara Baley said, "Now, we will be initiating the oath ceremony to seal the alliance between the two governments. I hope that all the people are present in unity and if you have any objections, then please come forward now.

If anyone tried to foil the oath ceremony, I will have your heads on my feet."

The terrans were slightly scared but then they saw Shi Lang standing up from his seat the young man appeared on top of the platform and said, "I do not have any objection but since this oath ceremony is being held on the Federal land. Allow me to be the first person to initiate it."

The people nodded and Cara took out a special knife from her space ring and was about to hand it over to Shi Lang when Tex stood up and said, "Allow me to join you, Brother Lang. This place may be your territory, but the alliance requires both sides to exist in harmony."

Shi Lang smiled and said, "Very well, I agree, Brother Tex."

Cara was confused about whom to hand the knife to when Moon Baley said, "Since this alliance is going to be crucial and both of us are eager, I suggest that we summon a witness that has presided over the Spirit beast tribe from the day we were transported to the Utopia."

The twelve elders all exchanged glances and then they nodded. Moon Baley stood up from her seat and said while looking at the sky, "Heed my call, the guardian of Utopia, bless us with your presence and testify to the union of Spirit beasts and Terrans in a bond of friendship.

I call upon the name of the master of the spirit beasts, Emperor Supreme, please heed my call, Spirit of Heaven Sword."

The next moment, the entire world darkened.
