Early the next morning, Shi Hao could hardly wait for Shi Teng to take him into the Great Wilderness to train.
After some thought, Shi Teng agreed. Although Little One had only just turned five, it was time he saw something of the world. With Shi Teng accompanying him, nothing would go wrong.
Besides, Shi Teng wanted to see how strong Little One was now.
The Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, a born Supreme!
An eagle's cry pierced the sky. The two had already left Stone Village and were racing toward the depths of the Great Wilderness.
Standing on the Golden-Winged Roc's back, they gazed out over the entire Great Wilderness, with countless ferocious beasts running through the forests below.
Shi Hao was visibly excited, too.
"Roar!"
The farther they ventured, the more mysterious the Great Wilderness became. Towering ancient trees stood in dense ranks, and tiger roars and ape cries rang out all around.
Now and then, they even saw enormous ancient beasts walking through the forest. Their massive bodies towered like mountains, and every movement seemed capable of splitting mountains and cleaving the earth.
"Little Gold, take us down!"
The Golden-Winged Roc rolled its enormous body once in the air, then flew straight toward the ground.
Powerful air currents hissed past their ears. A moment's carelessness would have sent them flying off.
The brothers leaped to the ground. Shi Teng stroked the Golden-Winged Roc's head and casually tossed it two stalks of immortal grass to eat.
"Little Gold, go have some fun on your own. See if there are any suitable female birds nearby and play with them!"
At those words, the Golden-Winged Roc's eyes rolled, and excitement appeared on its face.
It spread its wings and soared into the sky, letting out a long cry as though trying to attract the female birds nearby.
"Little One, let's go!"
"Okay!"
With a few leaps, the two headed deeper into the Great Wilderness.
Before long, three Dark Demon Wolves darted out of the forest and blocked their path.
They were over thirty feet long and stood as tall as young calves, their bodies black as ink and their eyes gleaming with a chilling light.
Their scarlet tongues lightly licked their lips, revealing mouths full of sharp fangs.
Shi Teng paid the three low-level Dark Demon Wolves no mind at all. With his current strength, a single punch would suffice.
"Little One, I'll leave these three Dark Demon Wolves to you!"
A delighted look appeared on Shi Hao's face. "Okay!"
With a slight stirring of his will, a Purple Blade instantly formed in his right hand, and he slashed it at one of the Dark Demon Wolves.
Its tremendous force sent the air hissing.
"Bang!"
That single strike sent one of the Dark Demon Wolves flying.
Seeing this, the other two immediately lunged at the brothers.
Shi Hao leaped up, dodging the Dark Demon Wolf's attack, then kicked it in the belly and sent another wolf flying.
The remaining wolf had just lunged toward Shi Teng,
when a fierce light blazed from Shi Teng's eyes. His overwhelming presence forcibly scared the Dark Demon Wolf back.
It crouched on the ground, trembling all over.
Shi Teng could not help smiling faintly. This scene resembled grinding monsters in the games of his previous life.
From low levels to high levels, constantly grinding monsters and constantly growing stronger.
The other two Dark Demon Wolves scrambled up from the ground. Realizing something was wrong, they immediately turned and fled.
Shi Hao cried excitedly, "You two little wolves, don't run if you've got any guts! Watch how I deal with you!"
He had barely finished speaking when he froze.
Even Shi Teng could not help shuddering slightly.
An enormous Thunder-Patterned Tiger suddenly emerged from the forest nearby.
Streaks of purple lightning flickered around its body. Its massive frame stood eighty feet tall, and the two sharp fangs protruding from its mouth were over three feet long, exuding an icy menace.
The character for "king" on its forehead was purple as well. When its eyes widened, it looked like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, its imposing presence extraordinary.
Shi Teng chuckled. "This Thunder-Patterned Tiger isn't bad. It's much stronger than those three little wolves!"
"Roar!"
The Thunder-Patterned Tiger roared, its bellow shaking the mountain forest and making both brothers' ears tremble.
Before either of them could prepare, the Thunder-Patterned Tiger had already pounced.
With a single leap, it covered several hundred feet.
Shi Teng said, "Little One, this one's up to you!"
Shi Hao swept his right hand, sending another Purple Blade flying.
The Thunder-Patterned Tiger charged straight into it. The Purple Blade struck its fang, merely slowing it down without doing anything else!
"Little One, have you got anything stronger?"
Shi Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and much of the childishness faded from his face. In a low voice, he said, "Green-Scaled Eagle Precious Art!"
The phantom of a Green-Scaled Eagle appeared around him, and he immediately rose into the air, drawing the Thunder-Patterned Tiger's attention.
The Thunder-Patterned Tiger growled, then hurled its enormous body several hundred feet into the air.
An enormous tiger paw swatted toward Shi Hao.
Shi Hao tilted his body slightly, narrowly managing to evade the Thunder-Patterned Tiger's strike.
Had it hit him, he would have been pinned to the ground and ground into the dirt.
Shi Hao did not pause. His body shuddered, and countless feather blades immediately slashed toward the tiger, each like a sharpened blade.
The Thunder-Patterned Tiger shook its body and made no attempt to dodge. Its entire body was hard as iron, and it let the feather blades strike it.
They might as well have been giving it a massage. They did not hurt it in the slightest.
Not to be outdone, the Thunder-Patterned Tiger's markings shone with streaks of purple light, and it immediately spat a bolt of purple lightning at Shi Hao.
Shi Hao formed a Purple Blade and sent it to meet the attack.
The two masses of lightning collided with a thunderous boom, scattering sparks in every direction.
Shi Hao instantly charged forward and punched the Thunder-Patterned Tiger in the head.
"Roar!"
The Thunder-Patterned Tiger's massive body was forced three or four steps sideways.
It was a clear demonstration of Shi Hao's tremendous strength.
Without stopping, Shi Hao formed another Purple Blade with both hands and slashed it across the Thunder-Patterned Tiger's belly.
It left a distinct lightning scorch on the tiger's skin, but still did little damage.
Instead, it enraged the Thunder-Patterned Tiger even further.
A savage light blazed from its eyes, and its enormous body lunged at Shi Hao again.
This time, Shi Hao failed to dodge. The Thunder-Patterned Tiger knocked him straight to the ground, and its two sharp fangs immediately stabbed toward him.
Shi Teng jumped in alarm and was about to intervene.
Suddenly, Shi Hao seized the Thunder-Patterned Tiger's two fangs with both hands. With a tremendous heave, he actually lifted the tiger up.
Then he kicked it in the belly, sending it flying several hundred feet.
His small body lunged after it, and he rapidly hammered its head with punch after punch.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
He growled, "Too weak, too weak! Is there anything stronger?"
Only the sound of Shi Hao's fists striking the Thunder-Patterned Tiger's head could be heard, every punch pounding flesh.
Even standing some distance away, Shi Teng felt the pain.
Before long, blood seeped from the corners of the Thunder-Patterned Tiger's mouth. Its body shuddered, and it died.
Seeing that the Thunder-Patterned Tiger no longer reacted, Shi Hao kicked it twice more, then grabbed its tail and flung it down in front of Shi Teng.
"Big Brother, this thunder-patterned kitty's finished!"
Shi Teng could not help frowning. It seemed this kid had violent tendencies even at such a young age!
"Ahem, perfect. We've got lunch sorted out. I'll make you some braised Thunder-Patterned Tiger!"
At those words, Shi Hao could not help licking his lips. His big brother's roast meat was truly unrivaled-it could make the kids next door cry with craving!
