Shi Lang and Wolf Blade stood facing each other. They presiding elder said, "Begin!"
The Terran and Wolf Blade moved quickly, and within a few seconds they exchanged a few dozen moves, however, none of them could gain the upper hand. Ling Shui asked, "Hai, who is this guy?"
Ling Hai sighed and said, "He is the retainer of the Dao Arena, he is at the peak of Immortal Sovereign Realm. He has a streak of ninety kills."
Ling Shui thought for a bit and said, "Hmmm, his skills is thorough. To think an independent cultivator would master such a skill. Not easy."
Ling Hai shook his head and said, "He is not an independent cultivator, Yang family recruits orphans, and then groom them, even the lowest one in the rank is capable of fighting a reputed family disciple to the draw. However, Wolf Blade and people like him are stronger ones, the reason they come here is to accumulate battle experience."
Ling Shui nodded as they watched the battle in the Arena.
...
Shi Lang was using his spear and he was dancing around in the place dealing with Wolf Blade. His opponent was using a sword. Shi Lang could see through the gaps in the sword technique, but he did not rush to fight the man. He could see from the density of spiritual aura radiating from Wolf Blade's body and his sword that he was a high level elite of the Dao Arena.
Shi Lang did not attack as aggressively as he did in the earlier fights because he did not want to kill Wolf Blade, he wasn't sure if the big forces behind this guy would come at him. Shi Lang did not wish to trigger a trouble that he could not handle.
He danced with his spear and the spear intent around him began to accumulate on the blade. Wolf Blade did not back down, his sword intent began to condense around the sword as well, however, he obviously had his weaknesses.
Shi Lang smiled and his spear head began to stab at the points that revealed weaknesses. Wolf Blade had a cold face, and his eyes were filled with confidence, however, as soon as the attack was completed by Shi Lang, he sensed his sword intent disperse a bit.
At first, he thought that it was a fluke, but as the battle progressed, he realized that as soon as he exposed a weakness, and Shi Lang countered it, the sword intent would be dispersed by the spear intent.
He narrowed his eyes at Shi Lang, and asked, "How?"
Shi Lang replied, "Intent Transformation."
Wolf Blade thought for a bit and said, "I admit defeat."
The entire Arena was in an uproar.
"Ahhh, I bet thousand on this match, I lost it all. Wolf Blade you bastard, kill him!!"
"No! My wife will kill me, Father Wolf Blade, please fight, don't do this to your son."
Many such cries of grief echoed in the Arena. The Ling Family were the least effected, however, Ling Hai still mumbled, "What was that? I am sure I saw that he dispersed..."
Shi Lang cupped his fist and said, "I have seen the senior."
The person sitting on the cushion behind a table opened his eyes and gazed at Shi Lang. The Terran felt as if he was stripped naked before this man. The man said, "Raise your head."
Shi Lang raised his head and looked at the Arena Master, this guy was old, but his eyes were brimming with vitality. The two people looked at each other for a minute, before the old man said, "You are good. Pick any Dao Fragment that you want."
Shi Lang looked at him in askance, and the old man waved his hand. Seven shards of glass were placed on the same table. The old man said, "There are elements like Fire, Water, Mud, and wood, however, the remaining three are special, one of them is a sword, other is spear and the last one is soul. Which one do you choose?"
Shi Lang thought about it and said, "Soul."
He wanted to study soul Dao, and see if he could understand anything about the souls. In his discussions and homework about the Dao Of Souls.
The old man flicked his finger and a white crystal moved through the void slowly and landed before Shi Lang. The Terran took hold of the crystal, and the old man said, "You can refine this crystal to see try and understand the Dao of Souls."
Shi Lang nodded and thanked the man before he left the place. The old man watched his back and then closed his eyes slowly.
...
Shi Lang came out of the Dao Arena and found Ling Hai standing on the side. He approached the man, and the latter said, "Brother, it would be nice if we left this place quickly, some people are eye your Dao Law Fragment."
Shi Lang nodded, and took out his visor mask and left the place after putting it on. None of the people would be able to pursue his identity as long as he did not want them too.
The two people were walking to the Ling Mansion when Ling Hai took out a bag as heavy as two humans and said, "These are your earnings, have fun."
Shi Lang did not reveal any expression, to him money was just a mode to buy resources to grow stronger. Ling Hai sighed at his cold reaction and they both left the place quickly. The Ling Family was one of the strong families and they were not to be offended in the Spirit Day city.

Shi Lang sat with his legs crossed in the same pavilion as before. After digesting the things he has comprehended in the Arena, he took out a wine pot and began to drink. Ling Shui arrived at the moment and saw him staring at the moon while gulping the wine in a fervor.
She sighed and said, "Daoist Shura how long was it before your wife passed away?"
Shi Lang replied calmly, "One Year, Three months and seven days, and eighteen hours."
Ling Shui was moved when she heard this. She did not expect for someone to love his Dao companion in such a manner. She asked, "Would you mind telling me about her?"
Shi Lang did not answer, but drank a big mouthful of wine and said, "Me and my wife both ascended from a lower realm. She came after me in this world..."
