Shi Lang woke up from his sleep, while Cao Ming and the two were watching his life flash before them, he was fighting people and gradually becoming stronger in his dream. He also realized many things that could be improved, throughout the dream he was aware that everything around him was an illusion.
When he woke up he found Cao Ming looking at him with a smile. The man said, "While you were facing the illusion, we were watching your lives most important moments flashing before us. Do you have a problem with that?"
Shi Lang was surprised, but then he nodded slightly, and Cao
Ming asked, "Why don't you say anything?"
The Terran replied in a calm tone, "You are the stronger one, I am not of the same status, in this world only the strong can express their anger."
Cao Ming nodded and asked, "If you were stronger than me what would you do?"
Shi Lang thought for a bit, and replied, "I would go for the kill."
Only Cao Ming out of the three was calm. Who asked, "Would you not worry if I have a strong force behind me?"
Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "If I could not teach a lesson to someone who disrespected me and is weaker than me, then what is the point of all this strength? If more people are to come after me, then let it be. There are many ways to die, and dying while fighting for what you believe in is the best."
Cao Ming smiled and asked, "I have one more question for you."
Shi Lang bowed his head, and Cao Ming asked, "Would you like to be my disciple?"
The Terran was surprised and answered, "Sir, I acknowledged another master earlier in my life, if you don't mind that, I would be obliged to be your disciple."
Cao Ming replied, "Honest to the core. Of course, I don't mind it, after all, on the path of cultivation we meet many people who teach us one thing or the other in some way. I don't mind you having another master."
Shi Lang nodded and knelt on the ground before he knelt to the man nine times. He did it because he believed in an idiom, Master for a day, father for a life.
Cao Ming nodded and said, "Good, Instructor Luo will get you through the registration process and the regulations. Although I am the Holy Elder and you are my direct disciple, you won't get a single special privilege until you show that you are worthy of them."
Shi Lang nodded, he was a soldier and even when he cultivator, he knew that everything can only be attained by his own effort.
Lou Shin gestured for him to follow her out of the valley, when
Cao Ming waved his hand, and said, "I see that you lack martial arts and spirit techniques, after the registration, Lou Shin will take you to the sutra hall, take this token, you would be able to select one movement skill, one sword skill and one spear skill."
She continued, "The black dragon token is the war token of the Martial Spirit Hall. The holder of this token will have to face challenges from the people who are one minor realm above him.
The holder cannot refuse to the challenge. Although, it would be once a week, it would still be something that will make you feel the pressure. You won't be able to enter seclusion easily."
Shi Lang asked, "What does the winner get?"
Lou Shin replied, "Guidance from the Holy Elder himself."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "It is a chance worth fighting, but what about me? What do I get?"
Lou Shin replied calmly, "You will get battle points. These points are different from contribution point, but they can still get you somethings that the contribution points cannot."
Shi Lang thought and asked, "What is this something?"
Lou Shin replied, "Legacy skills. However, that is something you will know after you have at least thousand battle points. If you lose even one challenge, your battle points will turn to zero. You will have to start from the bottom."
Shi Lang nodded and did not say anything, he simply accepted the fact that he would have to fight a lot of people.
Lou Shin said, "You will have a separate dwelling, but your status will be that of an outer sect disciple. After you have reached the Dao Lord realm, you will be qualified to enter the inner sect. Also, if you want to pursue other skill branches like alchemy and such, you would need to go through a separate test."
Shi Lang nodded, soon they reached the registration hall and the Terran sighed. The size of this place was so grand that he had to move his ability at full capacity to be able to scan it completely.
Lou Shin bought him to a wooden counter and said, "Elder Ji, please register this disciple and give him the outer disciple robes and kit."
Elder Ji was an old man who sat behind the counter, he was at the beginning of Dao Lord realm, however, he was quite ahead in his age. He looked at Lou Shin and nodded, before he took out a ledger and put in Shi Lang's details after asking him. Then he took out a stone and said, "Leave a trace of your soul and true essence in this."

Shi Lang did as he was told, and then the old man gave him a jade plate. He poured his spiritual energy inside the jade plate and the old man carved his name on it. Elder Ji said, "It has been inscribed, here is the rule book, and the outer sect robes. One healing pill, and two spirit rejuvenation pills are given to you as a joining gift."
Shi Lang bowed to him as he took the robes. Lou Shin said, "Put them on."
Shi Lang nodded, he put on the robe, Lou Shin said, "Wear the token on your waist, it will is the rule you have to follow till you are inside the Hall."
The Terran sighed and tied the black dragon token. At this moment, Elder Ji opened his mouth and said, "Disciple Shi Lang has joined the Martial Spirit Hall, and he has acquired the war token."
Shi Lang was shocked and so was the whole sect. The battle was about to begin.
