Ace Of Terrans-Chapter 401 Troublesome.
Shi lang and Amelia stood on the hill overlooking the array formation. Amelia said, "Lang, what will impact the change you envision? I can imagine it to some extent but the harmony we have established over the ages will be gone, and you know what will that lead us to?"
The young general looked at the lady beside him and said, "The world will surely undergo a significant change. You do not have to worry, just present the options to the people and they will decide what they want. Those with strength will replace those without it. However, we will have to make sure that the power stays with those who do not exploit it. Otherwise, the world is a chaotic place filled with battle and carnage."
Amelia nodded and let out a sigh and asked, "I understand what you want to say. However, how do we control the exploitation of power?"
Shi Lang smiled and said, "The simplest way to do that is to have a person in power to swear in the name of the Heavens, or you can simply have them take a blood oath. Though, we will have to come up with an oath that leaves no loopholes for them to exploit their power."
Amelia took a deep breath and said, "Change has never been easy."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Come, let us go back to everyone, time is close."
Amelia nodded and the two people came down from the hilltop. On the campsite outside the valley, all the cabinet members and the General council officers were waiting. The area was mostly occupied by school students from all over the Federation. The young general looked at the scene and nodded.
His eyes were caught by the batch of students from the Federal Star Academy. Only the top students were selected from the schools. Shi Lang found that a few of his special class students also managed to get selected for this gathering.
He looked at the entire group of people and then came to the place where the top brass was gathered. The young man exchanged a few words, and then Shi Lang found that his old friends have also been called over as top-level officers. They had all caught up to the level of peak of the core condensation realm.
They all exchanged a lot of tales and even tried sparring with each other in their spare time. Shi Lang received a message on his communicator and then he flew up into the void. This moment of his gathered a lot of attention and then after channeling the spirit energy in his throat the young man said, "Today, you all are called here to witness the rise of an Era of change. An era that will lead us to the peak of strength and also help us find what is true strength.
? You all are going to develop into the pillars of civilization in the future. I understand that all of you might be somewhat fascinated by this but let me tell you that this change will not be easy. There will be a fair chance that the luster and glamor of the newfound strength will make you corrupted.
It is your responsibility to make sure that the progress of the Federation is smooth. To make sure of this, we must remember the duties we all have. I do not know whether you would like to be bound by any oath, I was the same as you were, always chasing after a life without any regrets. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂
However, I have come to understand that only when things in your home are under control can you go out and search for your call of nature. Cultivators are all like that. So, I will give you all a certain time to make sure what you think.
If you do not wish to swear loyalty towards the federation, then I will deal with you personally if you possessed even the slightest harm to the empire. Why I am emphasizing this is something for you to understand in the future. So, take your time, and discuss it with each other if you want to before taking the oath."
Then he floated back to the ground and the people sensed a slight tremor from the ground and Shi Lang said, "The guests have arrived."
That made the entire crowd excited to meet the guests mentioned by Shi Lang. The young man personally went to the valley with the generals and greeted the people with his colleagues. After the introductions were made by him and Crystal. Both sides cordially exchanged greetings and then they took seats in the pavilions around the array.
The negotiations began while the youngsters from the spirit beast side went out of the valley to get to know the terran students. The atmosphere was slightly tense as both the unknown sides mingled. However, the teachers from both sides were sensible and they mediated the situation.
One of the teachers from the beast community came forward and tried to flirt with Amelia, however, the lady replied to him with indifference that she was married. The man was dispirited but he did not wish to give up that easily. So, the two classes engaged in a competition.
The students from the Federal Star Academy defeated all and every cultivator they faced in a similar realm. The reason was the impeccable execution of their martial techniques. The people in the beast community were shocked. The potential displayed by the humans was good enough for them to provide them with resources used for faster cultivation.
…
Shi Lang got to know that one of the beast community instructors had tried to flirt with Amelia and he raised his brows. Just when he was about to go and see what was going on, Tex approached him with a group of young talents. He looked at them and Tex said, "Brother lang, we meet again."
Shi Lang smiled and said, "Indeed, brother Tex. Welcome to the war planet of the federal empire."
Tex nodded and said, "It is my pleasure to be here. These are my friends, they all belong to the heavenly clans and the top youth elites of their clans…"
Then Tex made introductions and Shi Lang talked to the people with a smile on his face. They were exchanging their thoughts on martial arts and Dao when Jill approached Shi Lang with an anxious expression on her face. Shi Lang glanced at her and asked, "What happened?"
Jill said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law was trying to get away from the person who proposed to her, but this guy lost his control and Shi Tao was hurt by his pressure."
The next moment, Shi Lang erupted with a pressure that made several people around him flinch and they all sensed their shoulders lowering. Jill was not surprised and said, "Sister-in-law was held back by General Edward. What shall we do now?"
Shi Lang took a deep breath and said, "I will deal with things here first."
Then he reined in his pressure and said, "I apologize, there have been some complications."
Tex stepped forward and said, "I do not want to look nosy but what happened?"
Shi Lang sighed and told him about the incident and Tex looked at his friends. The rest of them did not look too happy about this thing happening, and one of the men stepped forward and asked, "What can we do to help you in this matter?"
Shi Lang was surprised and the man continued, "This alliance is crucial for both the parties involved. If we were in the citadel, I would have made this guy disappear for his insolence."
The young Terran was moved and said, "Young Master Jarg, I cannot thank you enough, however, if you sincerely wish to deal with this matter, then allow me a duel with this guy."
His words shocked everyone, and they did not reply instantly Shi Lang said, "I will not kill him, that is for sure, however, such a person needs to be reminded of his place in the world, I hope that you all can make your elders overlook it."
Tex and his friends exchanged glances and nodded. Shi Lang said, "Jill go and ask Amelia to check on Tao, I will handle this matter." At this moment, a calm voice counted, "Lang, I have the right to avenge myself. I cannot be the one hiding behind you." Shi Lang turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and he found, Amelia walking toward him. He sighed, and said, "Love, why do you fret? Do I not know what you feel? Let me go and see through the deal. I will have that insolent creature at your feet." 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖
Amelia glanced at him and shook her head, "My pride is mine to defend. I know that you can do what you claim, but I need to show that I am what I am. Do not worry, I will not fail."
