Chapter 807: Knowledge & Technology.
Shi Lang and Amelia spend a few days of passion with each other, and when they were done, Amelia had to get back to her sect mistress duties. When Shi Lang left the room, his spiritual energy was at the peak of the early phase of Immortal Emperor realm. The two of them had been dual cultivating with each other. Which helped the two of them improving their cultivation realms.
Amelia had reached the peak of the Immortal King realm and could step into the Immortal Emperor realm any moment. Shi Lang came out of the courtyard and found Ying Yu chasing after Yu Xeidi.
He vanished and the next moment he caught hold of his disciple with a questioning gaze. Yu Xeidi said, "Master, Elder Ying is bullying me."
Shi Lang gazed at Ying Yu who smiled sheepishly and said, "I just wanted her to try and dress up in a female set of clothing."
The Terran sighed and said, "Daoist Ying Yu do not force her to do something that she is not comfortable with."
Ying Yu's shoulder slumped and she nodded dejectedly. He said, "Xiao Yu, why did you not tell her that you do not feel comfortable with all this?"
Yu Xeidi let her limbs loose and said, "I told her master, but they say I am a child, and do not know what is better for me. I feel good in a battle suit, but elder Ying says a girl who does not dress well does not get married."
Shi Lang chuckled and said, "You have a lot of time to even think about that, go on, practice."
He dropped her on the ground and the little girl ran away with a whoosh. Shi Lang looked at Ying Yu and said, "Daoist Ying Yu, please do not force her to change her ways. It will hinder her martial path."
Ying Yu nodded and said, "I know that, but sometime I just want to tease her so that she does not keep on cultivating."
Shi Lang took a deep breath and said, "This is indeed becoming a problem. I will talk to her later about it."
Ying Yu smiled and asked, "Would you like to see more of the sect?"
Shi Lang agreed and they began to roam around the place. Ying Yu told him about many things about how Amelia had changed the sect in many ways. He visited their command center and gave in a lot of suggestions on how to make things better.
The people heard his insights and they were impressed. Not only did he climb the staircase of acknowledgement, but his mind was also sharp. The way he explained the key points for the operatives to keep in mind when they go out on sect missions, it was like nothing before.
Amelia was good, but she still could not hold a candle to Shi Lang. Even the elders of the sect gained a lot from this one session. The Terran spent his entire day helping with the optimization, and only stopped when the disciples asked him to teach them sword play and other combat skills.
The people gathered on the training ground and Shi Lang held a wooden sword in his hand. Opposite to him stood Yu Xeidi. Shi Lang said, "Xiao Yu, do your best, do not hold back."
The girl took a deep breath and blinked her eyes. The people were shocked when they saw her open them. If they had not been watching her with their own eyes, they would not be able to sense her presence.
Shi Lang nodded and Ying Yu shouted, "Begin!"
Yu Xeidi charged at Shi Lang with her sword and the latter held his wooden sword before him. The girl did not take a single line of approach but she moved in different directions, creating angles of approach.
Shi Lang smiled and said, "This is the best way to confuse your enemy if your realm is lower than them. However, tactics only work to a certain level. All trickery falls short in face of overwhelming strength."
As Yu Xeidi swung her big sword at him, Shi Lang used the back of his wooden blade to parry the attack, he said, "Speed does not mean accuracy, Xiao Yu."
The girl acknowledged with a soft hum before she continued attacking Shi Lang. The two fought for a couple of hours. No matter how many times Shi Lang hit her, Yu Xeidi would stand up and keep on fighting. The disciples were impressed and when she took rest, Shi Lang said, "Hmmm, well let me teach you all a little something."
The disciples became interested and Shi Lang said, "The human body represents harmony in five elements. Blood is water, flesh and bones are earth, heat of organs is fire, breath is air, and finally the eyes they represent the sky."
The girls nodded and Shi Lang said, "We all have an attribute of spiritual energy in our body. It develops with our cultivational progress. However, we become so focused on it, that we forget that all elements are made from spiritual energy. If we can focus on the raw form of spiritual energy we can manipulate all elements."
Shi Lang smiled and waved his hand and a ball of rock appeared in the void before everyone. The people were surprised and Shi Lang said, "I have affinity to lightning element. It is said that lightning is a mix of fire and air. However, I am able to move rocks a little.
The point of this knowledge is not to waste time in doing something like practicing the elements that do not come to you naturally, but to use these elements and sense the enemy or secret traps."
The girls were in an awe, they did not expect Shi Lang to tell them something like this. The lecture began and the more he spoke the more he impressed the girls. He even asked them to conduct an exercise to try and get a feel of the elements. The people were surprised by this but it was indeed useful.
As the sun was about to set, Amelia arrived and said, "Alright, the class is dismissed."
The disciples who were still asking questions were disappointed but they could not say anything in front of Amelia. They all dispersed and Shi Lang smiled at his wife. Who was glaring at him.
Shi Lang said, "What? I was just teaching them."
Amelia shook her head, this guy was like this and could not change himself. She said, "Come, I have your battle suit and mech ready."
Shi Lang was surprised and asked, "What do you mean, mech? It has been ages since I piloted one. Also, does that thing even work in this world?"
Amelia nodded and said, "I was thinking the same way. Tao told me that they made this thing with by using array circuits and spirit weapons."
Shi Lang was stunned and approached her quickly, as he said, "Show it to me."
Amelia chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, Supreme general."
The lady led him to a secluded place in the sect where a metal giant stood on the ground. The mech was thirty feet tall and it was equipped with two cannons and a lot of other weapons. Amelia said, "I have not yet stepped inside the cockpit but..."
Shi Lang vanished before she could say anything and exclaimed, "OH MY GOD! This thing has a spiritual link. Amy, why the fuck was I not given access to this when I went to the Titan Mountains. I would have kicked ass."
Amelia sensed his excitement and smiled contently, as she said, "It was not calibrated then, I had to put in some work to optimize it."
...
Inside the cockpit, Shi Lang did not see any display monitors, but when he sat in the seat, a part from the head rest extended and quickly turned into a cap that even covered his eyes. The next moment, an instruction appeared in his head and Shi Lang channeled his spiritual energy in the cap.
The next moment he found himself standing outside the cockpit, and he looked around in shock. He could see things from the perceptive of the mech. Unlike the neural link in the federation, this connection did not put any strain on his physical body.
Shi Lang could sense the entire mech working with a lot of spiritual stones embedded in the core of the body. Another thing that made him marvel was the hybrid system. Once the system was powered up, all the arrays on the mech began to work and absorb spiritual energy from the surroundings.
He said, "Amy, this thing is a hybrid."
Amelia smiled and said, "Go on, play for a bit and familiarize with it. I will bring out your battle suit."
Shi Lang, the mech, gave her a thumbs up and the technologically advanced Shura was set to explore the north of immortal realm.
